XXIII. No. 10. Message Recommends Appointment for Negro Exposition Pledent Urges that Congress Pay Depositors Balance of August 35 per Cent. Speaks Optimistically of Future Relations With African Republic—Report of Liberian Commission Metcald. Special to The New York Arm. Washington, D. C., Dec. 2—In his message Tuesday to Congress President aft recommended that a preliminary ammunition of not more than seven persons be appointed to consider whether is wise for the Negroes of America to old a big semi-centennial exposition in 1913 to mark the fifthth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, and a further recommendation that an appropriation be made to accept the expenses of the commission. Another recommendation that is of interest to the Negroes throughout the United States is that Congress appropriate a sufficient sum to pay the denizens of the defunct Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. The President also discusses Liberia an optimistic vein. The recommendations: Recommendations have been made by my predecessors that Congress appropriate a sufficient sum to pay the balance about a percent of the amount he deposited in the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. I renew this recommendation, and advise also that a proper limitation be prescribed fixing a period within which the claims may be presented, that assigned claims be not recognized, and that a limit be imposed in the amount of fees collectible for services in presenting such claims. Four Centenal of Negro Freedom. The year 1913 will mark the fifth instance of the manipulation Proclamation granting edrom to the Negroes. It seems fitting at this event should be properly celebrated. Africa a movement has occurred. Negroes have been empowered white people and the rest. The South especially is managing its interest in this movement. It is suggested that a proper form of celebration would be an exposition to how the progress the Negroes have made, only during their period of freedom. From the time of their omnipotence the country I heartily condone this proposal, and request that the Executive be authorized to appoint a preliminary commission of mot to meet the seven persons to consider arefully whether or not it is wise to hold such an exposition, and, if so, to outline a plan for the enterprise. I further recommend that such preliminary commission serve without salary, except to the total expenses, and that an appropriation be made to meet such expenses. Reyarding Liberia. Under an appropriation made at the last session of the Congress a commission was set out on American cruisers to Montréal to investigate the interests of the United States and its citizens in Liberia. Upon its arrival at Montréal the commission was enthusiastically received, and during its stay in Liberia was everywhere met with the heartiest expressions of good will for the American Government and people, and the hope was repeatedly expressed on all sides that this Government might see its way to do something to rehearse the critical position of the republic, arising in a measure from external as well as internal and financial embarrassments. The Liberian Government afforded every facility to the commission for assenting the true state of affairs. The commission also had conference with representative citizens, interested foreigners, the representatives of foreign governments in Monrovia, Visitors were invited to various parts of the republic and the neighboring British colony of Sierra Leone, where the commission was received and conferred with the Government. It was remembered that the interest of the United States in the republic of Liberia springs from the historical fact of the creation of the republic by the African Union in an early treaty with Liberia. Liberia is a provision under which the United States may be called upon for assistance. Pursuant to this provision, in and the spirit of the moral mission of the United States of Liberia, the republic last year asked this country to lend assistance in the certain of their national problems, hence the commission was sent. The four commissioners has stated and is now under the Department of State, where there may result some help in which case it may be used to invite your attention. Expertise in Legal Procedure. The table delays in the administration and criminal law have received confirmation of committees of the Association and of many states, as well as the considered thought of judges and jurists. In my judgment, a change in judicial procedure, with a view to reducing its expense to private litigants in civil cages and facilitating the despatch of business and final decision in both civil and criminal cases, constitutes the greatest need in our American institutions. I do not doubt for one moment that much of the lawless violence and cruelty exhibited in lynchings is directly due to the uncertainties and injustice growing out of the delays in trials, judgments and the executions thereof by our courts. In concluding his message President Taft said: I have thus, in a message compressed as much as the subjects will permit, referred to many of the legislative needs of the country, with the exceptions already noted. Speaking generally, the country is in a high state of prosperity. There is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial business expansion, and we have just garnered a harvest unexamined in the market value of our agricultural products. The high prices which such products bring mean great prosperity for the farming community, but on the other hand they mean a very considerably increased burden upon those classes in the community whose yearly compensation does not expand with the improvement in business and the general prosperity. Various reasons are given for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of gold, which to-day is the chief medium of exchange and is in some respects a measure of value, furnishes a substantial explanation of at least part of the increase in prices. The increase in population and the more expensive mode of living of the people, which have not been accompanied by a proportionate increase in acreage production, may furnish a further reason. It is well to note that the increase in the cost of living is not confined to this country, but prevails the world over, and that those who would charge increases in prices to the existing protective tariff must meet the fact that the rise in prices has taken place almost wholly in those products of the factory and farm in respect to which there has been either no increase in the tariff or in many instances a very considerable reduction. WHITE OFFICERS INVESTIGATED Instructions in Brownsville Case Made Known—Board Adjourns, in Washington. Special to THE NEW YORK AUB. Washington, D. C., Dec. 8—Having closed the taking of testimony in Brownsville, Tex., the army court investigating the shooting arrest at the courthouse summed its sessions in this city. Heretofore all the proceedings of the court have been conducted in camera, but it is understood that from now on the sessions devoted to the taking of testimony will be held with open doors. The court has practically concluded the assignment of all the known circumstances connected with the midnight raid, having been engaged in that duty since its organization early in May last. It will now enter upon the question of determining which soldiers and punishors, if any, of Companies B. C. and D. 21st United States Army, who were discharged from the military, were for alleged complicity in the raid are qualified for reenlistment in the army under the terms of the Lotaker law. The instructions of the Secretary of War on that point have just been made public. The text is interesting as being on the disputed point as to whether the soldiers will be expected to prove their innocence, or whether the court will be expected to establish their guilt. "The court," says Secretary Dickinson in his letter of instructions to the court, "will investigate the truth or falsity of the charges in respect to the conduct of the soldiers of the 25th Regiment of Infantry at Brownville. Tex. on the night of August 12-14, 1906, and will determine and report upon the disciplinary aspect of their case, including the performance of duty by the officers and enlisted men, of the garrison at Fort Brown. Tex. is measured by the standards required in the regular army of the United States. Such conclusions as may be reached by the court in respect to the disability for re-enlistment of the former enlisted men of the 25th Infantry at Brownville who were separated from the military service in the operation of discharges without honor, should be affirmative and positive in character, and based upon such preponderance of testimony as will support its specific findings. It appears from these instructions that the white officers of the regiment are being investigated as well as the colored soldiers, and that some of them may be subject to military discipline. The army court endeavored to secure the attendance of the 167 soldiers who were discharged, but has succeeded in finding only seventy six of the number who desire to take advantage of the opportunity to re-enlist in the army. They have agreed to appear before the court in this city for examination as witnesses. Communication was had with six others, but they did not come to appear before the court. It is understood that those who have applied for enlistment will be represented before the court by counsel. Chicago, Ill.

At the morning service of St. Phillips' Protestant Episcopal church on West Twenty-fifth street last Sunday, the rector, Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, formally confirmed the report of the sale of the church for the sum of $140,000, as published in the real estate columns of last week's papers. He also cautioned the congregation against baseless rumors as to the future plans of the vestry, further than to state that they hope to build a new church on the uptown property purchased a few years ago. From other sources it was learned that Henry Hellman is the buyer of the church property, a plot 747x989. A twelve-story loft building will be erected on the site. The Henry M.

Andrew Carnegie Says Race Is Far Ahead of His Ancestors of Two Hundred Years Ago Andrew Carnegie addressed the mem- bers of the Armstrong Association on the Negro question on Wednesday, De- cember 4, at the home of William Jav Shiffen in 5 East Sixty-sixth street, in which he declared that the lowest blacks in the South are ahead of his Scotland estates of two hundred years ago.

Only a few years ago I became terted in gathering statistics about term and I had figures compiled which grew there were 27,000 farms in the South controlled by Negroes, and 248, they owned outright. They had spent $60,000 to build churches alone. I also noticed in the South a growing sympathy of the white people for Negro and every one there appears bigger for it.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. New Orleans, La., Dec. 7.—Since the suicide of Edward W. Von Buelow, cousin of the former German chancellor, the public has become aroused over the miscegenation law in force in this state, which prohibits a white person from marrying another having a trace of Negro blood, no matter how faint it may be. Many here want the law modified. New Orleans people assert that law killed Von Buelow, a brilliant, popular, loveable man He drowned himself rather than stand trial for having violated it. His wife, as white-skinned as the proudest Southern belle, was an octooron. Business enemies of the man found this out, and in revenge for a coup he played upon them in the cotton market they first ruined him financially, then exposed his wife's secret, though it was no secret to him, and caused his arrest. In the present revulsion of feeling against the seemingly cruel law the sentiment is that it should be greatly modified. New Orleans does not wish it repealed, the people do not want to allow the intermarriage of the race where the Negro blood is pure, or very pronounced. But they argue that cases of this sort should be provided for. A tragic feature in the Von Buelow affair is that the widow, who is a beautiful and cultured woman, is of a talented love on her mother's side. Her father dawning her Sister's aid. Her father name, for her wife he loved, and loved me as much, if not more, than the children whom he openly recognized. The girl told Von Buelow about her parentage when he asked her to be his wife. She said it was impossible for them to marry, that she was of the inferior race, that if her friends knew of the trace of Negro blood in her veins they would never speak to or look at her again. Von Buelow replied that he did not care about her parentage, he cared about herself. He persuaded her that no one need ever know their secret. Their only apprehension was about their children. It was possible, they felt, that there might be a reversion to the Negro blood, as sometimes happens, but that son now 6 years old proved to be a Phenyl bred. Blue eyed little Tiger. Then their happiness was comed. The mother, born a couple of years later, was likewise a dainty little kit of the lathered. Then a group of out speculators led him into a business train in which he lost everything he had his home and about $100,000. They had learned of his wife's mulatto mother, and then had him arrested. Von Buelow disappeared. Officers going to his house to serve a warrant upon his wife found him missing. You'll never see him again," she told them. "Neither will I. Your laws have killed him." A few days later Von Buelow's body was found floating in the Mississippi. Investigating Cairo Lynchfing Chicago, Ill., Dec. 7—Quite a number of Chicago people have visited Carro and made a careful personal investigation of the facts with reference to the tragedy in that city. Among the visitors have been F. I. Barnett Franklin Dunnson, Robert L. Taylor and Ida B Wells Barnett. It appeases from the reports that come from these personal investigations that the black man so brutally burned was absolutely innocent of the crime alleged to have been committed by him. A committee is still at work sifting the evidence and will in due time reveal to the world the fact that Matthews, who was burned, was not the man who committed the horrible crime. PRICE, 5 CENTS APPOINTMENT SIGNIFICANT Military Attache for Liberla Generally Discussed LIEUT. B. O. DAVIS Officer Detailed to Africa by War Department at Instance of Department of State LIBERIA'S REQUEST Has Asked That the United States Land Assistance in Organization of Country's Pollen Force. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Washington, D. C., Dec. 8—The exclusive announcement in a recent issue of The Age that the War Department has detailed First Lieut. Benjamin C Davis of the Tenth Cavalry, now stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, on the legation of the United States at Monrovia, as military attache has been live topic for conversation during the past ten days. It is well known here that Lieutenant Davis has been sent to Liberia at the request of the State Department, which move is regarded by many as significant and forecasts the attitude the United States plans to assume towards the Liberian republic in the future. In commenting on the action of the State Department, Dr. Ernest Lowe United States minister to Liberia, he is enjoining a furlough in this country declared to a representative of The Age "The appointment is a timely and marks a new departure. The ministration is to be congratulated." The success of the European powers as shown by the report of the European commission sent by this government to Liberia in effectively controlling many tribes of natives who inhabited African hinterland, chiefly by the military bodies in the nature of lance or constabulary organizations, then after the natives themselves were forced to leave the woodlands. His efforts thorius in Africa and the organization of their military forces with a view to the utilization of such information as may be so obtained in dealing with the native inhabitants of our own tropical possessions where conditions somewhat similar to those in the hinterland of tropical Africa obtain, having especial knowledge of the southern portions of the Philippine islands. Hence the sending of Lout Davs to Munroia, which appears to be the most available place for the detail of an American army officer and the one affording the best opportunities for the purpose of this government. United States to Help Organise Police Force. It may be stated in this connection also that the Republic of Liberia has requested the assistance of the government of the United States in organizing such a police force of its own, and the presence of an American military man at Montana will be of great assistance to the government in working out the details of such a plan of assistance should the government, upon a full consideration of the Liberian Commission's report decide to comply with Liberia's request. Ileut Davis was born July, 1877, and served in the United States as Volunteers as first lieutenant. Lt. U. S. Infantry, from July 21, 1890, until March 6, 1890, when he was morbidly muscled by ten years of regular service; June 14, 1894, enlisting in North U.S. Cavalry and serving as private, corporal and squadron sergeantmajor from that date until May 18, 1901, when he was appointed second lieutenant Tenth cavalry. He was promoted to first lieutenant Teenth Cavalry, December 11, 1905. Since his appointment in the regular army he has besides service with his regiment, served a tour as professor of military science and tactic at Willeforce University, O.

The sermons bid fair to be come as near a sensational character as this conservative pastor will permit. Dr Brooks has taken a keen interest in the "White Slave" problem in this city, and on Sunday morning he spoke to some length upon this evil, and stated the churches were not doing their full duty in quelling this "traffic" and 'other evils which disrupt society.

Morris Celebrated in Helenh. Ark. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Helena, Ark., Dec. 7."Honor to whom honor is due" was carried out to-night by the citizens of Helena, and the Baptists, Methodists and all other church going people and members of Arkansas when they assembled from all over the state, and celebrated the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of Dr. and Mrs E C Morris, the recognized leaders of the Negro Baptists of the United States throughout the United States Dr Morris and his companion have demonstrated to the world that marriage is not a failure, but is full of happiness and success From the marriage five children were born and they are strong active children. Two have graduated from the Arkansas Baptist college, Elias Jr and Miss Mattie E Morris, the latter is a teacher in the public schools of Helena, and the former is teaching at Trenton, Frederick Douglas Morris is booked to graduate from Howard university next spring, while the other two smaller ones are in the public school. Twenty-five years ago, the Rev E C Morris left Helena for Fackler, Ala, where he made a trip and there won and secured the hand of Miss Fannie Austi-fi. He was then pastoring the Centennial Baptist church, where he has pastored for years. Mrs Morris was modest, unassuming, vet polished, refined and cultured. The palatal residence of Dr and Mrs E. C. Morris was appropriately decorated with ferns and cut flowers, the flowers sending forth their fragrance to greet the large numbers of friends and admirers of Dr Morris. He is doing great work for God and his race. It may not be known by many that Dr F. C. Morris is the leader of the Negro Baptist in this country. For the past 17 years he has been unanimously elected president of the convention. The National Baptist convention is said to be the largest and most influential or ganization in this country among Negroes. Many telegrams were received from various parts of the United States, some from bishops, public men, newspaper men, and immediate friends. The telegram from Hon Chas Banks, not only congratulated Dr and Mrs. Morris for having reached the twentieth year of their marriage, but spoke of his work for the race and to the Baptist denomination. Then came tokens. The Rev Dr J F Thomas of Chicago, led off with a substantial token, $12.50. then came other silver offerings, each desiring to show their appreciation to the leader. Then followed other presents of silver.

Winston of North Carolina Charges that President Helped Kill Nefarious Measure That time who believe in Negro disfranchisement in the South are, much disturbed over the result of the Maryland election in which the vicious measure to drive the Negroes of their state was defeated, was shown at the dinner of the North Carolina Society, held last week at the Hotel Astor, when Francis D. Winston, former governor of that state criticised President Taft's news on Negro disfranchisement. During his address the speaker accused the President of playing a prominent part in the defeat of the proposed amendment which would have disfran-ised thousands of Negro voters, and also outraged from the speech of President Taft delivered before the society The speaker said in part, Southern people accepted that utterance as a duality on the subject and we treat our business. But very recently the President has written with some heat on the subject. Maryland was considering an amendment on the same line with all those similarly adopted by eight Southern states. During the campaign the President injected a letter which was too direct in its language to convey the impression that the adoption of the amendment by the vote was to be the signal for an attack on the courts. A constitutional amendment more drastic in principle and more susceptible of abuse in practice became the fundamental law in Mississippi during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison, the oldest lawyer in America. He wrote no letter. It was a potent argument in that campaign that he was clearly of opinion that the principle was sound. Under the strenuous Roosevelt amendments of similar character became the fundamental law in several Southern states. As he said nothing, it is to be presumed that silence was most commendable. In dealing with no other race has the United States allowed a sentiment to sweep it from the course of reason, justice and experience. If the Negro had been freed in Cuba, instead of in Florida, the Negro race would not have been permitted to vote except gradually. The process of reconstruction goes on from within. When applied from without it has failed. "No one will believe a century from now that the white race, while denying to the red race the privilege of citizenship and to the yellow race the right even to land on American soil, gave to the black race, the least civilized of all races, the right of suffrage. The student of government will study the thesis introduced in congress on that subject as samples of popular insanity. Universal suffrage is the last rotten remnant of the civil war, a shameful memorial of sectional folly, hatred and passion. It was the maxx of fanaticism, the weeds and nines and brambles of humanitarianism." DR. LYONS ON THE AFRICANS To Baltimore Society Liberian Minister Tells of Former Civilization-Progressive League Meets. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Baltimore, Md., Dec 7—In a stirring address before the Scientific and Sociological society, a local organization of cultured men and women, last Thursday afternoon, Dr Ernest Lyons, American minister to Liberia, declared that Negro scholars of western training should be in the forefront in future explorations and researches in Africa. He was introduced by Prof Mason A Hawkins, president of the society Dr Laurs' subject was "Some Potent Reasons offered to Influence Independent Research Investigation and Exploration in Africa." "Africa is a land of attractions," said Minister Ivon, "and its sable inhabitants are not without some elements of real invasion. Sir Charles Ellott, one of his Brittanic majesty's commissioners in East Africa, after three and a half years' residence there, states frankly in his books, that they were among the happiest and most interesting periods of his life. "Who is to perform the work" continued the minister, "of enlightening the world concerning the character of the African and the millions of his descendants in Western countries." Certainly the African cannot expect the Anglo-Saxon to do it. He cannot and must not expect other men to do what he can and must do for himself. Does he expect the Anglo-Saxon to collect evidence from the bosom of the silent past that is likely to cast a shadow upon the validity of his own title? "The work of enlightenment is the work of black men themselves, it is too sacred. It is hard to be intrusted to others. Black men must travel, investigate and explore their own interest and then write or findings for the enlightenment of munkind, as white men do. Until they do this they can have no just cause of complaint against those who do." *Patience in West Africa for a period of years has convinced me that the role of the Sudan were at one time among the most powerful, progressive and intelligent of the earth. We lived under well ordered communities with amable systems of jurisdiction, with wise and diligent kings learned in justice and equity until disunity, European greed, which in turn must make war upon each other in order that slaves might be supplied for total development in the West Africa and West Africa.* Many books, said Dr Lyons, "have been written about Africa and its diversified population. Very little has been published in this direction by Negro lars, who have been influenced by the civilization of the West. They have made no investigation along independent lines and they have pro- died no work on the ethical relations of the race that would give them a commanding place among standard authors. They have been too pre-occupied in the affairs of countries dominated by white men to spend any time in the land of their ancestors for the production of a work that would in time redound to the credit of themselves and their posterity." After mentioning the meritorious work of Dr Edward W. Blyden, Caelyn Hayford, John Saber and the Liberian explorer and traveler, Benjamin J. K. Anderson Jr., he declared that such schools as Gammon Theological Seminary, which has an African endowment, should have an African course taught by some man well versed in African customs and dialects. A general discussion followed the delivery of Minister Lyons' address Minister Lyons will be tendered a farewell banquet by leading citizens Thursday night The executive committee of the recently organized Maryland Progressive League held its initial meeting last Thursday afternoon. At the meeting this Thursday the various committees will be announced and a plan outlined for taking up those questions which affect the general welfare of the race in Maryland. The annual memorial services of Monumental Lodge of Elks were held at Bethel A M E. church Sunday evening. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. J. Frank Wheaton of New York city; G. Grant Williams of Philadelphia, and W. Ashbie Hawkins of this city. The services were very impressive. George W. F McMechen is exalted ruler of the lodge. Thomas A. Jones, a well known Baltimorean, was elected grand master of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Masons last week. At the same time, William E Tilghman of this city, was re-elected grand secretary.

Nov. 30—Dr. Booker I Washington rendered two practical and interesting addresses in this city last Sunday. One meeting was held at the Court Square Theatre and the other at the Central High School. At the Court Square Theatre Dr. Washington delivered a lecture on the present condition of the Negro in America, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. Nearly 2,000 persons listened to the lecture, and several hundred more were unable to gain admission. One hundred clergymen, business and professional men were seated on the stage. Dr Washington was introduced by Dr. Philip S. Moxom. The educators spoke, in part, as follows: "Everybody pays a good deal of attention to the Negro problem, and some fellows who cannot earn their own living have solutions of Someone said they saw that the problem, a situation of the problem, when 600 Negroes were sent to Africa. That man forgot that on the same day there were 600 more Negroes born in the South before breakfast. Some say it would be well to separate the Negroes, but if that should be tried it would be found that it would be necessary to keep the Negroes in and five more walls to keep the white man out. There isn't any spot in this land where the Negro could be put and the white man wouldn't go after the Negro. No Negro in the South is happy unless he is with a white man and no other well attained man any country where he cannot see black faces. "It has been said," Dr Washington continued, "that the Negro might be absorbed by some other race." The speaker said he had never thought that practicable or desirable. Every Negro worthy the name is as proud of race as the white crowd of white. The Negro race is not going to be absorbed. Even the immigration officials are contributing to its numbers. Whenever there is a foreigner of dark skin about whose race they are in doubt they say, "Wed better give him to the Negro and be on the safe side." The Negro has lived under a white stance and has been concerned in all our great enterprises. When the Pacific coast was discovered a Negro was at the white man's side, when Clark discovered Oregon a Negro was at his side, when the North and South did battle the Negroes fought at their sides, and when a white man discovered the North pole there was a white crook who was a Negro. And there doesn't seem to be any dispute as to whether or not he got there. "The Negro has undergone a complete change in his language, his dress his food and his religion. He has changed from slave labor to free labor. From an individual denied an education he has changed to an individual compelled, or permitted to get an education. Abandoned to flourish. He has come to have more and more points in common with American civilization. He now digests, absorbs and uses his civilization and when he came he quickly made himself at home. He didn't bring a heathen form of religion he made himself at home with the religious idiosyncrasies of America. A community where the white man is a Baptist, he is a Baptist, too if the white man is a Methodist, the Negro is a Methodist if a Presbyterian the Negro is a Presbyterian and if the white man is an Episcopalian the Negro will become soon an Episcopalian. In the matter of language he adopts and uses him, if he lives in Boston he acquires a Boston accept if he lives in Charleston he has a Charleston accept. He prepares and eats the same food, too. If you've got any good food lying around anywhere the Negro will find it. He is in fact, the very beat judge of food. A hundred years ago he began the quintessential pamphlet, and has been enjoying posum ever since, and now it has been discovered by a certain distinguished gentleman from Washington. "In his dress the Negro is not a foreigner. In ten days he laid aside his old dress and began wearing the same clothes as you do. And he wears good clothes. The Negro woman gets behind in the fashions sometimes, but never more than a week behind. If a new style of women appears on the street one day, the Negro woman does not have it that Sunday, but watch her the next. The Negro woman is not behind other women in making attempts to alter the natural texture of her hair, only while she is wearing their hair curly, the Negro woman is trying to make hers straight. And deep down in the heart of the Negro there is the same love of Christian institutions that you have. He will lay down his life to defend his flag. The Negroes are citizens of America and are going to remain. "With the white race lies the responsibility of the Negro's future. Where the white race is ignorant, low, vicious, fighting the law, the Negro is like the white man, and where white men are of a higher standing than the black man, the Negro imitates them also. It is a double responsibility, for the white people should seek to save their own race and by so doing to lift up the Negro. The Negro not only absorbs the ideas of your civilization; he uses them. There were some who said that the Negro was the best of our resources; he would not clothe, shelter or feed himself. But the Negro is not a beggar. You seldom see a black hand at the street corner asking for alma. Except in special calamities, the Negro has never asked a dollar from the nation. In these personal matters he has seen that he can take care of people where there is a population of 30,000 blacks, there are only six who are being cared for by the public. His only appeal is for education and moral and religious training." At the hall of the Central High School Dr Washington spoke to the Negroes of the city, Rev. W. N. De Berry presiding The speaker stated that there are two classes of people whom in particular he despises the man or woman who is abused of his life and the man or woman who is ashamed of his birthplace, of the condition from which he had come He further declared If the Negro has greater ease in getting an education in the North than in the South, it must be recognized also that he has greater difficulty to find a place for using his education when it has been got. The door of the high school files open to the Negro who would enter, without hindrance, without question, and the door of the college files open to. But when he comes to use of his education the door of the factory, of the counting-room and of the bank does not fly open to him. "On the leaders of the Negro race in the North, among whom the clergymen were chiefly to be counted, rest a double responsibility; they must save the Negro and see that he keeps saved; but it is just as compulsory that they should see that the Negro is an example of the people with whom they really come in contact as will help the people of his race in the South and not hinder them. The Negroes of the North are as "drummers" samples" of the Negroes of the South. If the Negro that the Northerner sees is lazy and inefficient and immoral, he will think that the Negroes of the South are the same, and will not be disposed to rank them very high; in the contrary, are the North and the more clean and honest, the people of the North will think highly, not only of them, but also of the Negroes of the South, whom they cannot see." NHW HAVEN MINISTERS MEET. Revs. Yearwood, Klugh and Desverney Elected—Women Have Mass Meeting. Regular Correspondence of THE AOR. New Haven, Conn., Dec 7—The Ministers' Union Association of New Haven, met in the auditorium of Varkish Memorial Zion A M e church, Dixwell avenue and Charles street last week. The object of the meeting was to elect officers and take into consideration other pending matters of importance. The question of the annual revival meetings was taken up and discussed at some length, reaching a decision that a series of revival meetings would be still continued this year. The first service will begin at Varkish Memorial church Monday evening. January 3 Rev Dr David S Klugh will preside at all meetings. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year Rev C H Yearwood, president. Rev Dr D S Klugh, vice president. Rev J C Des Verney, secretary and treasurer. At St. Lukes church last Sunday evening, November 28, there was a class of 22 persons to whom were administered the rate of confirmation Right Re Chauces, Brewster, daughter of the priest and the priest this occasion the church was literally packed with people from curb to channel rail. The annual autumn fair was held in the guild room of the church, November 10 and December 1 and 2, when well rendered programs were presented each evening. The fair was a grand occasion both financially and socially, the inconvenience experienced was that the resources of the guild room were inadequate to accommodate the latter crowds of people who attended each evening. To remedy this inconvenience this church has had under consideration for some time to erect a parish house in the rear of the church, where they have simple ground to build, commensurate parish house. It is now believed that the lack of room in this last entertainment will hurry on the project of construction of the proposed new building. Rev. Luther Dawson celebrated the holy christmas at the Sunday morning service and Rector H O Bowles watched the sermon. Sunday at Bethel A M E. church, Sperry street, Rey C H Yearwood, Laster, was a very interesting day and was noted for its exceptionally large congregations at each meeting. At the woman's mass meeting which occurred at 3 p.m under the direction of Emma E. Benton, there was a splendid array of talent exhibited by these, our home people. Their addresses were well prepared, strong and hitting to the occasion At 7 30 p.m, mrs. Sophia Moore Browne of Springfield, was the special speaker Her subject was, "Woman as a Missionary." Mrs. Browne was fluid and convincing to her hearers, she L. M. Mallah, Jr, left Sunday night for Charleston, S. C., to spend the winter. Lawy James H. Penn of Passaic, was the guest of John H. Williams a few Mrs.ddison Boyd of Passaic speak a wee with Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Reynolds. The sacred concerts giving a John Wesley. A. M. E. church once month are doing more real good than what that has been gotten up here in a good years. Membersbers has been increased; people that never visited the church before have been interested and are anxious to take in active part in the church. The talented performances are of the highest esteem. vacase, N. Y. Dec. 7—The A. M. Zion church is meeting with great stress in their current endeavor for a edifice. The arrangements and ins are well under way and have sucided in making a payment of $1,500 their new site at 711 East Fayette street. They have organized a building and banking committee and expect the arrangements will be advanced enough to begin building in the spring. The pastor, Rev. K. S. Balley, is an ardent and zealous worker. He deserves much credit for what he has done. When he took charge of the church, it was in a very poor condition, almost run down. Rev. Rainey of the Auburn Theological seminary preach at the Zion church next Sunday. WILMINGTON'S BUSINESS NEGROES. Rector of Lansing, Business and Professional Management Outlook. wrummington, N. F., November 30. Prior to the riot in Wilmington in 1898, the "city by the sea" was regarded as the metropolis of North Carolina. But after that extremely serious outbreak on the part of the prejudiced whites, provoked by the political situation, the population of the city notably the colored, became appreciably effected for "various and suddy reasons." One well acquainted with the city and its inhabitants. Before this unpleasantness, visiting it soon afterwards, would have thought a simoon had passed over it—so desolate and God-forsaken did it look. There was no other place in North Carolina where there was a larger number of successful business men in nearly every avenue of trade. But the frenzied mob had got in its work. Therefore many of the Negroes in business, feeling it unsafe to remain longer on their "native heath," pulled "up stake" and dispersed to other parts of the country. Not a few, however, decided to remain alone among some other "divinity that shapes our ends." As the years folded by and this unfortunate crisis was farther removed in time, if not in recollection, business began to pick up, and the New Wilmington assumed a more hopeful prospect There are others, but these are the principal ones, who are making a name for the race and money for themselves in the commercial world. Dr. Thomas R. Mark and John P. Taylor are the dealers in real estate. Each is conservatively estimated to be worth at least $15,000. THE PARK HOUSE 113 West 63rd Street Near Columbus Avenue.

Parker Made Messenger at Boston-Negro Organisation Honored Newark, N J, Dec 7—The colored Republicans of Fesse county are enthusiastic over the success which the Essex County Colored Republican Association has attained by the appointment of one of its worthy and capable members to the position as messenger to the committee on judiciary of the House of Representatives at Washington. The appointment was made through Congressman R Wayne Parker, the newly appointed chairman of the committee, after William Dhus Parker, the corresponding secretary of the association, had received the endorsement from Justice Scotland chairman of the Organization and Executive committees, and the backing of Alfred M Dallymple, chairman of the Essex County Republican committee. Mr Parker was born and schooled in Newark, having been a graduate on the Newark Business College, besides he has the moral and intellectual qualifications to be an honor to his race and fulfill his duties with credit. This is the first representative position given to a colored citizen of Fesse county at Washington, as coming through a political organization and the chairman Scotland, who has been faithful and zealous in making the potency of what a united force means for any measure of success, is receiving the plaudits of his race. In addition, I W. Holmes, an active worker in the recreation is to receive the nomination to Brenton, as doon-keeper to the House of Assembly when that body convenes. The political future for the colored man in Jersey is hopeful, if the demon of charity, graft and incision among some cynical patriots are not allowed to take the place of reason. Mr Parker was tendered an informal reception on last Friday night as his departure was sooner than expected. He left on Sunday at midnight to take up his duties For the latest theatrical news, read The New York Age.

This accusation is more or less true, due in the past to the disinclination of our playwrights to deal with subjects that would prove of dramatic literary value, despite the fact that here in this country there is a rich mine of material for the construction and exfoliation of such plays. To Edward Sheldon should be credited the honor of furnishing the brightest gem to dramatic literature in many moons, for his three acts drama—"The Nigger" is truly a great play. When the New Theatre, in all of its regal magnificence, was opened some weeks ago, the management announced that the policy of the playhouse would be to present the best dramas, which would be played by the leading actors; that the theatre would be conducted void of all sordid thoughts of commercialism and that money would not be the object desired, but that the primary aim of all interested would be to offer art for art's sake. After witnessing a production of "The Nigger" the writer believes that the New Theatre is fulfilling its mission. To see the play prompts one to ask the question, Could "The Nigger" be successfully produced in any other theatre in this country? We hardly think the Broadway managers would assume such a risk; for to-day some of them show a lack of courage and confidence in handling colored comedians who are a paying proposition, and we are sure that a play dealing with the Negro problem in a serious vein would not be given consideration for a second The presentation to the public of "The Nigger" is a big victory for truth as well as for the Negro. It is the most daring and truthful play that has been written for many a day. Fortunate indeed is it that the mission of the New Theatre is to develop art in interest of the advance financial interests of the box office. How delighted are we to find that there is at least one theatre in America, and patronized by the leading people, too, where truth is paramount, even on the race question, irrespective of any preliminary loss. It is therefore, do we optinistically look forward to the new Theatre playing an important part in the future in breaking the financial manacles on the Negro question. Towers Above "Culee Tom's Cabin" for Dating. To have witnessed a performance of "The Nigger" greatly strengthens the opinion formed some time ago by the writer that the American Negro will play an important part in the great American drama that is to be written. Some, during their moments of enthusiasm and buoyancy, have declared that Mr. Sheldon has already written the all-absorbing *A*. We do not coincide with their views on that score. While "The Nigger" is really a wonderful drama and for authenticity and effectiveness tanks with Uncle Tom's Cabin, we fail to recognize in it the great American play. In comparing it with "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "The Nigger" towers above the former for holdiness and durability. Throughout the piece there are scenes that are exceedingly repulsive to the majority of white patrons even though the truth is being told. The great drama to be will be seen in every city, town and village of this country. It is not probable that "The Nigger" will be seen outside of the New Theatre, at least for years to come. The amount of trouble the drama in question would create if put on at some other theatre is not pleasant to contemplate, for the glaring truths told would shock the sensibilities of many adults, the troopers who would probably so forget themselves as to not only indulge in basking, but would likely occasion a lynching more realistically than the one supposed to take place in the play, but which is not seen—only board of Although the story of the play was told in last week's issue of The New, the writer publishes it a second time "Philip Morrow," who is the central character in the piece, candidate for Governor in a Southern State. His campaign manager is Clifton Noyes his cousin and president of the Noyes Distillery Works. Morrow is in love with Georgiana Byrd, a Southern woman, and expects to marry her at the close of the campaign. The development of the story begins immediately. A Negro employed by the candidate has committed a crime for which he is pursued by lynchers to Morrow's estate, where he secretes himself. To turn the Negro over to the mob would mean the political death of Morrow, but the candidate quickly decides that rather than betray his office he will forfeit his political ambition. At this moment Noyes delivers the fugitive into the hands of the mob and he is lynched. With the election won Morrow is brought face to face with another crisis. A prohibition bill has been passed by the Legislature, and he comes to a realizing sense that the measure is a just one and necessary to the welfare of the Negroes of the State. He is about to sign the bill when Noves, who would be ruined by such a measure, declares that if the Governor's signature is affirmed to the statute he will expose him by publishing to the public that Morrow has a trace of Negro blood in his veins and proves the truth of his statement Underterred by these threats, however, Morrow signs the bill and releases his dancee. As the curtain fall he resigns the Governorship to take up his work again bravely for the Negro race. Characterst Ring True. "The Nigger" rings true because it is shockingly truthful. Mr Sheldon discusses his subject void of any poetic imagery and without kid gloves, giving facts about the social conditions of this country and laying bare the illegitimate relationship that frequently exists between the whites and blacks of the South, and one of the principal issues that has made a Negro problem in this country. Sheldon is to be marveled at in his creative force and drawing of characters We, as Negroes, have been compelled to know conditions affecting the race, as we are principals in the drama that is being enacted daily. With Sheldon he has not become acquainted with circumstances by reason of experience—only by observation and reason. To his credit it should be mentioned that there is not a Negro character in the piece that is not as convincing and gripping as the play itself. The piece possesses marked dramatic power, and at all times is the author consistent in his construction relative to the relationship between the action of the play and characters A number of white critics, while declaring "The Nigger" to be a great play, assert without qualification that it is repulsive in its truthfulness. The writer can readily appreciate their position. It is not the least bit pleasant for those who have conscious and unconscious prejudices to sit through three acts and see a white woman make ardent and passionate love to a Negro. For after all, here is the tender and delicate point of the Negro problem. During a performance of the drama it fell to the lot of the writer to be in the unusual position of feeling embarrassed for the white brother. In the scenes in which "Georgiana Byrd" and "Philip Morrow" kissed, hugged and fondled each other before the gaze of the public, gasps and sighs were heard on every hand, as this fearless writer had touched the most sensitive issue of the whole Negro question. Yet, the critics and the public should learn to look at things as they really exist, for as "Philip Morrow" said "Truth will tell in the end", and one writer has declared "The inquiry of truth, which is the love making or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoyment of it, are the sovereign good of human nature." There is but one way to properly diagnose a case, and that is to look at conditions as they really exist. Awareness seeing "The Sigger" will be convinced that the demon zum is largely responsible for the criminal assaults and lynchings in the South. One soon concludes that prohibition is greatly needed will result in much good and bring about a more friendly feeling in many both races. Only a few days ago the question of prohibition was discussed before the National Anti-Slavery League in Chicago and a Georgia law. There never was any race problem in the South, it has been pure a higher problem. United States crimes are committed by black and white who under the threat of the law. Optimism as to Negro's Future There is a record in some of the times that the Negro with reference to the origin of the Negro in this country, the United States, was strong in a friend of the Negro and who has been dubbed the white man because of his broad-minded ideology concerning the race, the public is told that time will do for the Negro what it has accomplished for the white man that there will be members of the race who will be doctors and lawyers, others will be brick-layers, mason and carpenters, and then there will be from hands. We are also told that the bringing of the Negro to this country is the work of God, and that it was done for some good purpose, which will be shown in due time. A character that particularly appealed to the writer was that of "Junny," the old mommy of Philip Morrow who for over sixty years carried the secret that Morrow was a Negro in her breast, and only confessed to the truth when forced by the central figure and Clinton Neyes "Such devotion and loyalty are characteristically possessed by the Negro which are well known. As for the role of "Georgiana Byrd," the white girl who loved Philip Morrow" to the end, even after he had confessed to her that he was a Negro, the position she took of begging her sweet art to marry her regardless of consequences, was true to life, no matter how galling to some, and helped that illustrate the argument that Dan Capullo knows no color line. The love affair of the two principal characters brings to the mind of the writer the humor being made at this writing in New Orleans by the white citizen that the missegnation laws he modified owing to the suicide of the late New Burlow, and to be a cousin of the farmer, Chancellor of Germany, who several weeks ago killed himself because he has enemies ruined him financially and then sought to have him punished for marrying a woman who had Negro blood in her veins, although he was aware of her parentage. Now, the people of New Orleans claim the laws are too drastic, and that Von Burlow and wife should have been permitted to live happily and unmolested. Gov. Bates Post's conception and notion of "Philip Morrow" is such that he creeps into the hearts of the most prejudiced as a hero. His refusal to sign a bill that meant the existence of dramshops, disorder and riot, which was done under the threat that his parentage would be exposed, powered by his resignation as Gov- ernor to go into the world and work in the interest of his race, brought to light traits of which any one could feel proud. No one after witnessing the piece can leave the theatre without having a higher regard for "The Nigger." Should Be No Opposition to Title. There is some opposition to the name of the drama. Until the writer saw its presentation he also experienced a feeling of resentment whenever the subject came up for discussion. Having seen the play "Israel," which treats of the Jew, we felt that a more fitting title would have been "The Negro." However, after attending a performance of the much-talked of play, we have become somewhat mollified and less radical about the use of the title No Negro, after witnessing the drama, could find fault with Mr Sheldon, if he desired to be fair. It is quite apparent that the name is misleading to both white and colored, which turns out an agreeable surprise to the latter. "The Nigger" is a camera that pictures conditions as they really are, which is admirably acted by a capable cast. What is surprising is that the play is not intensely melodramatic. It is unfortunate that every Negro is not able to see the play, for all would appreciate the many truths that are told of which they are familiar; it is doubly unfortunate that every white person cannot witness the production, for it would prove instructive as well as entertaining, and give them an opportunity to study and reflect.

THE ACE Providence, R. I. Dec. 7. Tue. A William Hall Opera House Monday evening at the playing a successful engagement in New York City. The critics all think highly of the play. Said the Evening News an intentive one, and there is plenty of real good ingoring. Last evening Mr. Williams offered opportu- nities to study his style that could be a more moving adaptation. His occasion has not been on his do. That he is a genuine comedian gives to his fun making much care is not nearly evident. His interpretation of the part of his life has been a real merit. There are a few ope- nions as has been before intimated, when one would wish the entertainment when ore worthy of Mr. Williams, but as a method it fewent affairs that have been seen "That 'Mr. Lode of Koal' offers Mae Hilliams an excellent medium for his work as a comedian cannot be better than six musical comedies and yet leave someone to be desired. Good as the new showbill one cannot help thinking that Mr. Willis and some of the others in the cast have one who witnesses this production come away feeling agreeable to the world. There is plenty of fun in it, and the staged settings and everything having to do with making him appear to the eye hath been rigidly arranged. There are other very good songs we sung. Among the best of these was 'Tell Harbor of Lost Dream,' by George Homes and of Lost Dream, the work Grady and chorus, 'In Far Off Man delay,' 'Lament,' by Burray and the male chorus, 'Chink-Chink,' by Gilmet and Whirlina Miss Grady has a most pleasing personality, and is said to be the coming song. Very numerous were the encores for the song 'Bydstone Days in Dixie,' sung by Henry Trop, assisted by Mr. Lightfoot, Mr. Rex, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Redd. The appertains of a high order was the dancing of Miss Neyarro." Bert A. Williams is indeed the single star for the others of the cast do good work and ably sustain him he is the mainstay of the company so far as individual acting is concerned. He is the principal figure on the stage and in the book and he makes the most of that fact and succeeds fully in keeping the audience in good humor and in almost constant laughter at his jokes, his manners, his antics and his reactive songs. He has wavers gathered around him a good company of lesser lights in comedy roles and a collection of excellent chorus singers and nimble dancers who aid in giving the spectators and listeners an evening of amusement."

Fiddler and Shelton are laying off this week by request, as the act has been booked solid until May. In speaking of their skilt last week the New York Journal said: "The colored race should flock to any theatre where Fiddler and Shelton appear, for during the few moments that these colored entertainers are on the stage the emblem of refinement prominently stands out. The vaudeville managers themselves do not draw the color line, so I can't either. The fact that Mr Percy will gave the two gentlemen a good position on the bill shows what the circuit thinks of the act. Again they the colored race can take an example from Fiddler and Shelton."

THE CHASM IS THERE Singularly significant was it that former Governor Winston of North Carolina, the leading speaker at the annual dinner of the North Carolina Society, before which a year ago President Taft outlined his Southern policy, should make that the occasion for opposing the President's position on the Negro. With characteristic Southern bluntness, the tar heel spokesman for the dominant white South said that the South is opposed to the right of suffrage for the Negro. Nothing could have blazed out in brighter light the chasm deep and wide between the positions of President Taft and the Southern states on the citizenship of the Negro. Nothing can be more plain than that the South is not yet to be won over to a heartier political co-operation by any straight, constitutional and patriotic methods. The time is not yet ripe. President Taft said a year ago the South should eliminate its ignorant electorate whether black or white. Southern people accepted that utterance as a finality on the subject Governor Winston said, "And we went about our business." In other words, the South understood the President to acquiesce in her deception and violation of the constitution in eliminating the Negro by "grandaddy" and "understanding" clauses. But when Maryland attempted the same thing, the governor continued, the President opposed it successfully and has thereby broken the implied promise to the South, as she understood it. Moreover, Governor Winston said, President Harrison was an able lawyer and he did not lose Mississippi's drastic disfranchis much discussed New Theatre play, "The Nigger," says are negligible. The writer, writing for Southern eyes, lacks either the courage of his convictions, or a knowledge of conditions. The Times-Democrat of New Orleans quite sensibly advocates the repeal of the present drastic marriage law. New York and Massachusetts have long since repealed all such laws. Marriage between the two races in these states is comparatively negligible. Louisiana and her sister states will also find her forbidding laws the surest challenge to a mistaken chivalry. They are like the forbidding of parents, a compelling invitation to their violation and an eternal source of domestic discord. THE PRESIDENT IN FAVOR. In another portion of The New York Age we publish what President Taft has said to Congress in approval and endorsement of the proposed Negro Semi-Centennial which was initiated at the Negro Business League in Louisville last summer. In giving the endorsement of his high office to this exposition, President Taft is doing the Negro race a high service, and his strong and direct words in approval of this project will disappoint those who have contended that the President has little interest in the Negro. The organization and the holding of an exposition which will give the Negro a chance to demonstrate to the world the progress which he has made and making in every walk of life will go further to help the Negro than any one thing that could happen. If President Taft can succeed through his influence in making this exposition a success he will make the majority of the Negroes in America his debtors and lasting friends. The calling of this matter to the attention of the National Congress in a great state paper within itself also is proof of the deep interest of our Chief Executive in everything that concerns the Negro. A BUNGLESOME JOB A couple of weeks ago a certain white daily in Washington carried a rather sensational article to the effect that certain Negro federal officials were likely to be displaced. The article was not only far-fetched and full of inaccuracies, but it clearly disclosed to the wise ones that a certain jealous and disappointed Negro must have had a very close connection with the giving of the information. Referring to the article, The Washington American, under the caption "A Bunglesome Job," in its last week's issue, had the following editorial: "The article in the recent Sunday edition of a daily newspaper predict- the wholesale dropping of colored wholesale dropping of colored officials was such a bangle- CARVING OUT A CAREER The life of our late advertising agent, David A. Greene, furnishes many inspiring lessons for Negro youth. He was honest and industrious. He therefore, had the respect of all who knew him. He thereby gained the confidence of all who came within the range of his genial and aggressive nature. Rarer than that, he was a man of living ideals in his home life. He was numbered among those princes of men who honor womanhood, who support and shield their women from the battles of the outside world in daily toil. But rarer than all these, and this is the high lesson which his life furnishes ambitious and worthy Negro youth: Mr. Greene was a pioneer. He actually carved out his career as advertising agent for The New York Age. Before his time no Negro publication had such an agent who made that business his sole and successful life work. He has blazed out the way which men in future may and will follow. Mr. Greene saw the possibilities in this hitherto untried field, and he started out. As with all other pioneers, there were doubtless those who laughed at what seemed to them a mad attempt to explore this business region so unknown and so barren twenty years ago. He met many barriers which to others less farsighted and less determined would have been insuperable. He found business hard and patrons few at first. But he pressed on. He stuck to it. Inch by inch he worked his way gradually onward and upward, and eventually gained the victory. He had won from a frozen, undiscovered and forbidding field a career which netted him a comfortable living, which helped vitally for many years to sustain a useful and a needed race organ. He did not complete that career. Seldom a pioneer does that. That is the work of his followers. But he laid the foundation upon which others must build. His work was secure. Let no Negro boy despair at what to do. The world is full of opportunity for even the black Boy. But the call for men. The call is for pioneers. DEATH OF MRS. OGDEN.

When you talk about a vigilant sheriff right on to his job just remember Mr. Davis. Congress again has convened and President Taft has laid out some manmoth tasks. But following that tired feeling of the common people, congress wants to see the country get back to that Let-well-enough-lone stage once again. Senator Cullom hastily brands the interview making him condone and advocate Negro disfranchisement as a malicious falsehood. At this, his eightieth birthday, Senator Cullom ought to know that pleasant newspaper interviews upon such sad subjects are mighty dangerous. The Brownsville board has arrived at Brownsville, Texas, to find out who really did shoot up the town. With the other unsolved riddles in the Book of Ages, like the "How Old is And" question, which have disturbed mankind, there will eventually be added this other eternal question. Edward Von Buelow, first cousin of the former German chancellor Von Buelow and a wealthy cotton broker of New Orleans, who had a beautiful octoon wife, committed suicide because of his arrest under the Louisiana intermarriage laws. Eventually some Bismarck is going to appear in Louisiana who will preserve to her leading citizens their cherished privileges.

His text has been ever since he began the tour, peace, and his subject matter has been prosperity to the North and South alike.

Houston municipal affairs or on the question of prohibition.—The Texas Freeman --- The race conference that will be held here about the middle of January next, led on by Rev Carroll and others, will be a great event fraught with much good as it is intended to deal principally with the free country schools. No greater question could or needs to be discussed among the Negroes, and especially the county farmers, the county public schools, and the race conference will be a good time and place to agitate the question. Negroes should come to the conference and discuss plans to better their schools. The State school authorities should be invited and be urged to give their aid to better the Negro rural schools--The Columbia (S C) Light A young man of banville, who is now in the U.S. Army, wrote us a few days ago a letter full of pathos. In this letter he states, I left home because I wanted to be somebody, and I could not make a man of myself in banville. Is it true that there are so many smears and temptations set for young men that it is hard for a boy to "make a man of himself in banville"? What are the parents, the teachers and the preachers doing to help our boys to be men? How do the guilds and vicious classes to mold them into Sabbath-breakers, gamblers and drunkards? What have we done to start the young man in the right way and what are we doing to keep him in this way? Who are the ideal man of our young boys? The Banville Torchlight --- Some one should awaken Rev J R Lamb (notching tumbles save the name and his simple mindfulness) from his nightmare.

Has our brother forgotten the difficulties governments on earth moving, just because the south part of the Negro population "The proposition is absurd, and Rev Lamb should be muzzled or placed in a paddl cell in some lunatic asylum" — The Python Monitor Washington has never witnessed an assembly of her citizens whose purpose was to do honor to gentlemen more worthy than our religious and diplomatic representatives to Liberia. They are men of cloquence, integrity and profound wisdom and the hope and the prospect of the maintenance of the Liberian Republic and the development of its wonderful possibilities are due in large measure to Minister Lyons and Bishop Scott. The banquet of Wednesday, which was so timely and so admirably conducted, afforded them an opportunity to lay before a representative body of colored men the part they can play in the perpetuation and development of Liberia — The Washington American. There are certain big officials who come to Jamaica and draw big salaries who seem to think that in recompense for our kindness they ought to devise means to use up any little surplus we might have, and whose only way of perpetuating their memories is by loav- ing us some expensive bit of work to think about. This may be a pleasant palatine but it does not suit us any longer, and we want it to be so understood. If Major Kershaw will try to get a better set of recruits for the force, and will make serious attempts to see that the members are better treated we will back him up; but when it comes to wanton expenditure we would as gladly be rid of it as of him. We want money to put the educational system on the official basis, give our teachers better pay, to put the policemen on a better footing, and we object to the now growing desire of shutting up good and useful buildings simply to give the government the pleasure of spending our money in erecting monuments of bricks and mortar.—The Jamaica Tribune. In all probability the site for the State Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes will be soon established. We have no authority for making this statement other than the announcement that the committee which made a tour of the State in the interest of the white normal schools has been called to meet Monday to make their selections. The Negroes of this State have not shown the proper interest in this school. Especially is this true of the Negroes. Namely, all the school should arouse every Negro in Tennessee to alertness. We should take a deep interest in our Normal College. We ought to have a desire to see our school the equal of any in the South. It will be so if the people will all pull together for its success.—The Nashville Globe The South is our natural home, and we are here to stay. We are a part and parcel of every community and cannot be separated from the thought, conscience and character of Southern life. Our white neighbors dominate both the economic and political life of the South, and it is up to us to find our place and adjust ourselves to our environs. The individual or race who has the common sense to recognize its true condition, and the courage to set about the correction of its showcums must have some ingenuity in the people or country blinded with false pride that it cannot discover its own weakness must inevitably lose in the race for the goal.—The Atlanta Independent. IF SUPERIOR, WHY OPPRESS? South Carolina Justice Says South's Salvation Can Come Only With Negro Uplift. Among the men of light and leading in the South on the race question is also to be counted Justice Charles A. Woods of the South Carolina Supreme Court. In a noteworthy address to a gathering of farmers and others at Florence, in that State, a few days ago, he proclaimed that doctrine of justice to the Negro for which ex-Congressman William H. Fleming of Georgia has conspicuously stood as the one and only possible solution of the South's race problem. He expressed his belief in the natural superiority of the white race and, so believing, he can entertain no fears that it will fall under the domination of the colored race in a fair field without special favors to either. The implication here is that those who feel or pretend to great fear of Negro supremacy in any way are gravely doubtful of the truth of their noisy assertions of race superiority, and so they must be it in a fair shot which the justice fires and goes straight to the mark. And in following it up Judge Woods presents some searching questions "In this condition ought we not to have enough confidence in our own strength and courage to believe that it is not necessary to our welfare to keep our laboring population in the darkness and deprivacy which absolute illiteracy implies? There is little risk of having another struggle for race dominance, and shall we not with resolute courage take what risk there is rather than take the certain evil so blighting to our country, and settle down to perpetual daily contact with a race rendered in its masses more briskish and dangerous than ignorance and the desire to be ignorant? My men, in the long run we must take it because that civilization which rests on the ignorance and degradation of any large class of its people cannot last. I assured there is a power in this universe that makes it safe and wise to be just and generous, and to give those who have come under our power a fair chance." As Mr. Leming of Georgia said on a previous occasion "Injustice and persecution will not solve any of the problems of the ages. God did not so ordain his universe." Justice Woods accordingly demands compulsory education for blacks as well as whites, but from the public schools, especially for the more primitive race, he would cut pway all abstract learning or advanced courses in books and substitute after the three. It's manual training and more or less technical training he trades and mechanically educates and in doing he believes the state will be serving the colored race as well as the white to the best of its ability; and so it would. Those colored youth who show special merit in the public schools he would have encouraged to work their way through those higher and most worthy Negro institutions like Tuskegee or Hampton or the South Carolina State College at Orangeburg Justice Woods does not discuss the question of suffrage, but from the views he expresses in this notable address—from his sincere belief in the natural superiority of the white race and in simple justice and the moral law as offering the one and only possible solution of the race problem we must suppose him to look with disapproval on the movement in the Southern States to force the Negro into a condition of political outlawry or servitude. That he must regard as not merely an unjust but a wholly needless step. Under leadership like this the South will not be long in gaining the mastery of its troubsious race situation. The Springfield Republican To the Editor of The New York Age Thursday night, December 9, 1999, the election of officers for St Marks Lycom for the closing year is expected to occur. The present incumbent, it would seem from indications, has successfully hiedged himself in to continue in office for another year. The important question with us is why should we be burdened about the year? His success in the work of the Lycom. The failure interested in the success of the Lycom have declared that they will not support it if the present incumbent and candidate for re-election succeeds. Emerson—"John Brown is the truest Hero-Man I ever met." --- The remarkable success of Benjamin Washington's latest speaking tour in the South emphasizes again the importance usefulness to the whole counsellor in this role as an interpreter of language to another, pleading for harmony and mutual respect and justice, he is presenting a patriotic service which it will be hard to overestimate. One of foremost white educators now active in the South exclaimed on hearing the details of Mr. Washington's trip through Tennessee: "Now I have there is going to be a revival in the South in favor of the Nation of the fifty thousand persons who according to the estimate of the most correspondent of this newspaper Mr. Washington, attended hisings, nearly one-half were whites in every case he was received with enthusiasm which would have it the head of any less balanced sagacious leader. Lest we be accused of exaggeration, we would remind our readers that Judge Floyd Estill, at Winchester, Tennessee, introduced Washington, the Negro, once a homeless and institute wanderer, as "a fine type of the true Southern gentleman;" that Judge J. H Price, another typical Southern of high position, classed Booker Washington with the first President, Thomas Jefferson, Madison and Rice, Lee and other Virginia worth as among that State's most elusive gulished sons; and that Judge J. S. Steen, of the Circuit Court, introduced Mr. Washington with these words: "We believe that as the patroness of old were inspired by God to lead their people out of darkness into light to guide them on the right road to right living and success, so he who is to speak to us to-night is inspired to lead his race to higher, better things. But his message is not for you here. It is not alone for this cit., or this State. By helping you he helps us, by helping you he helps every woman and child in all this broad land of ours." All of this is enough to make any man accustomed to the ravings of the ordinary Southern office-seeker, at firebrand lecturer of the Tillman order, rub his eyes and ask whether a revolution is not actually at hand. Yet these compliments to Mr. Washington and his work were received with the heartiest approval by the earnest white thousands present who have become convinced of his unselfishness and wisdom. Still, this turning to Mr. Washington by such men of prominence ought not to surprise us. It is just the better self of the South coming to the front. Men like the judge we have quoted have come to see that if the races are to live in peace and comfort, the Negroes who are progressing, who are laboring in Mr. Washington's spirit, must be sustained and upheld. More and more, too, men of stands are bound to recognize the obligation the South owes to the Negro. Speaking at Brownsville in Mr. Washington's presence, Judge John R. Bond, of the Tennessee Circuit Court, said: was born and reared here in the South and associated all of my life with Negroes for that reason. Southern white man I love debt to the Negro I can never repay." His gratitude was specially for the way in which the Negroes protected and cared for the white women and children who were left at home during the war. But there is even a higher and more sacred obligation than that—the duty of caring for a backward race because it is backward, and of helping it onward and upward. The man who would injure a crippled or crippled child must, in a letter from George the time will come when all nations will take a similar attitude towards those human beings who are handicapped, particularly if, as in the case of our Negro, their plight is largely no fault of their own. To this quiet but ever-present appeal the true Southern gentleman is bound to respond, because he has a heart, because essentially he believes in fair play, and because he is an American. Further proof of this lies in the space given to Mr. Washington's trips in South Carolina, in Virginia, in Mississippi, and now in Tennessee, by the newspapers of those section. The Tennessee press has sent to Mr. Washington its first pages and reported his speeches full, even where the proceedings called for four or more columns. At Charleston, last winter, the prominent editors joined the Mayor in welcoming the colored orator in Tennessee the editors have sat upon his platform. More than that, the Memphis Commercial Appeal has recently honore itself and its profession by instructing its correspondents to bear down a lightly as possible upon Negro ordain and to say as much as possible about Negro strivings for betterment. The Nashville Hanner is another jouissance that is doing its best to be just to the Negro and trying to lay unduplicate times of the race who unfortunately disgrace those just as there are plenty of white men who do the devil's work. The Columbia State has also long battle for fair play, recently it has incurred unfair criticism for denouncing the unjust punishment of a Negro because he was a Negro. To come back to Mr Washington the greatest service he can render to day is plainly not at Tuskegee, an not at the White House conferring to appointments but on the stump of the South. His hearing and popularized white men to speak out free where it would sometimes be difficult to do so if the Negro endorsed we will all know. Public opinion for more detailed in the North it takes vastly more courage there to break the bonds of custom and habit than anywhere else this country for social ostracism more quickly brought to bear. Let him who doubts this read Walter Pag new novel "The Southernner." The reason why the educator we has quoted sees a revolution coming is he cause Southern men everywhere beginning to break away from the convictions, even the terrorism, who have kept them silent heretofore. any rate Mr Washington is to do a revolution interpreter and an applaud apostle. This is an organized, whether one agrees with him all his views or not.
