Cry of Governor Crothers of Maryland to State Legislature DEMOCRATS BITTER Defeat of Disfranchisement Amendment Last November a Great Disappointment to Them WANT TO TRY AGAIN Scheme on Foot to Submit Another Measure to Voters Two Years Hence—Plan to Change Equal Registration Laws. Special to The New York Age. Baltimore, Md., Jan 12—Maryland will have another disfranchisement amendment to vote on two years hence of the wishes of the Democratic bosses and bosses prevail. This is indicated by the message of Gov. Crothers to the Legislature and utterances of former State Senator Marion C. Brewington and Arthur Pue Gorman, president of the State Senate. The Maryland Legislature had no sooner opened in biennial session last Wednesday when the question of the elimination of the Negro vote was broached. The Legislature, which the Baltimore Sun characterizes as "theoretically Democratic, really oligarchic," had been shorn of the duty of selecting its presiding officers, Gov. Crothers and United States Senator John Walter Smith performing that oneous duty in advance. This left them plenty of time on hand in which to consider the "dire consequences" of Negro suffrage. Radicals Plan Policy. The plan of the radicals, as announced by some of the hot-heads, is to discontinue equal representation of the two parties on the registration room, thus giving the Democrat a majority; the Republican a party majority; and the third party a majority in one of the twenty-three counties and gives a loophole for all kinds of trickery to other counties of the State, and the refusal of election officers to place the names of Negroes upon the registration books. Those who support the latter suggestion point to the fact that the Fifteenth Amendment, which conferred upon the race the right to vote, was never ratified by Maryland, and that the constitution adopted by the State in 1867 only confers the right of suffrage upon white men. They seem to think that the United States Supreme Court would wink at their denial of suffrage in the manner indicated. Another scheme is to pass a municipal election law modeled after the one in force at the State capital—Annapolis—which practically disfarrances all of the Negro voters in that city. The Annapolis law is already in the United States District Court for testing, and the Republican leaders are expected to go the limit in having its unfair provisions tested. Governor Crothers' Message. The recommendations of Gov. Crothers to the Legislature anent the suffrage question are as follows: The failure of the people at the recent election in this State to re-commit to the suffrage clause of the Constitution, whereby it was proposed to eliminate from the electorate the most unintelligent and thriftless class of our Negro population, presents a situation which, in my judgment, should be considered a careful and serious consideration of the present Legislature. If I could feel any assurance that the defeat of that amendment meant that the majority of the white people of Maryland were in favor of the perpetuation of unrestricted Negro suffrage in a state well as that of the legislature, to bow to the will of the people thus expressed, to accept their will as final and to refrain from any further discussion of the question at this time. But after mature deliberation I am unable to reach such conclusions. During the late campaign little, if anything, was said by the opponents of the amendment in justification of unrestricted Negro suffrage. Indeed, it might also be inflicted from their silence on the question, and I accord with the general opinion of the rest of the civilized world—which is that a most grievous mistake was made when the elective franchise was conferred without restriction or limitation upon the images of the African race in this country. In any rate, the grounds upon which the amendment was defended were that, in the form presented, it infringed the franchise of the white man, and that it would unduly increase the power of the party organization and that make it more difficult. In other words, the objection was out to the principle of the proposed amendment, but to its form. I did not and do not think that those objections were well founded, but I consider that it is our duty to lose to the will of the people and to be made and made to be correct which they have rendered on that question. 1. therefore would not approve amendment, or, any other amend- ment of substantially like character Nevertheless, I am firmly of the opinion that in view of the conditions existing in such a large portion of the State and in view of the great benefits which I believe the people of the State, both white and black, from the removal of the Negro question from our politics, it is our duty, if possible, to submit to the people an amendment in such form as will enable them to vote upon the question as to whether or not unrestricted Negro suffrage shall be perpetuated. In this connection I deem it proper to remind you that Maryland never consented to the ratification of the so-called Fifteenth Amendment, but, on the contrary, rejected it by the unanimous vote of its Legislature, and the question as to whether or not any State of this Union, even by amendment of the Federal Constitution, can be stripped of the power to vote upon the question, which shall have the right to vote at State elections—that is to say, who shall constitute the State—has never yet been adjudicated by the august tribunal which alone has authority to determine it—the Supreme Court of the United States, the question is in grave one, and one which should not be dealt with in any hasty or ill-considered fashion. I therefore, advise no precipitate action, but I do recommend that you take this matter up with the seriousness of the question, in the meaning of the hinting legal advice, endowment to present to the people of the State an amendment of the character which I have indicated. The only suggestion which I have to make at present with reference to the question is that it should contain the essential guarantees of fair elections and provide for a uniform ballot throughout the State. CHRISTIAN AMERICA: HEATHEN AFRICA Bishop J. D. Scott Gives Interpreting Talk to Large Audience at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Kashville. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 11- Bishop J. B Scott spoke to an audience that taxed the seating capacity of St Paul A. M. E Church a few days ago, in which the Bishop comped Christian America to heathen Africa. The Bishop chose as his text "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." - Psalms xxiii. 88. He show with admirable the Christian nation how over the un-Christian nation by referring to the preparations Japan made between that country and Russia in their recent war by sending to such Christian countries as England and America to learn whatever was possible relative to their methods and armament of warfare, and also said that these nations had their young men in American and English schools and colleges for the purpose of gaming additional light as to their methods of business and government. The Bishop said that it might seem strange that one should go to a Christian nation to learn methods of warfare, but he emphasized the fact that God of war, saying that He believed in war, especially when He opens the gates and tears down the walls of un-Christian nations for the admission of the Gospel. He discussed the shortcomings of Christian nations, especially those of America and referred to the vices, prejudices and the murderous spirit that seem so rampant. He mentioned the fact that ten thousand murders take place in this country annually, as compared to about five hundred in Germany and about the same number in England. He then compared the system used in Germany and several of the other countries of keeping those who have been once condemned for crime constantly under the surveillance of officers of the law, to that of America where those who have been imprisoned for crime, when released by pardon or at the expiration of their time, go about their affairs, very often to violate the law again just as they had done before. In these countries where the methods re- not so lax, he said, the officers know where each man lives who has been condemned for crime, and such persons cannot move without permission or without first having reported their detention, and they have to report occasionally their whereabouts to the officers, and in addition to this, are compelled to attend church at least once on Sunday, with a view of bringing about their information. In his discussion of what the Christian nation stands for, he presented three points. First, the largest opportunity for childhood, second, the highest development of women; and third, the salvation and uplift of all men. In presenting these three points, the Bishop showed what Christian nations are doing along the lines indicated and how sadly similar work is needed in heathen Africa. A vivid description was given of the ignorance and superstition of the thousands of neglected children of Africa and of how the heathen women were degraded and deprived of even the right to choose her partner in life. Bishop Scott closed his sermon by relating a number of incidents to show the influence of the Gospel in Africa and an appeal to his large congregation not only to pray, but to give of their means for the salvation of that country. On last Thursday night in the Walden Auditorium here the Bishop delivered an instructive and interesting lecture to the faculty, student body and friends of that institution on the diseases in Africa and the treatment of some of them by the native "medicine men." Among the many important theories advanced by him in his lecture was that the forests of Africa contain many secrets that will be valuable to civilization in the treatment of disease.

FEWER LYNCHINGS IN 1909 Texas Leads in Mob Law—Illinois and Oregon, Northern States, Included in Life Clean Record for Virginia. According to statistics, lynchings were fewer in 1900 than the year previous. Seventy-eight lynchings took place in the United States in 1909, a greater number than in any year since 1904, except 1908, with 100 summary executions. In 1907 there were sixty-three, and in 1906 there were seventy-two. The victims of the 1909 lynchings were sixty-five Negroes and thirteen whites. All but five cases were in Southern States. Illinois and Oregon were the only Northern States to furnish instances of mob law last year, and two cases were recorded in the Territory of New Mexico. Virginia barely missed a record of "no lynchings" in 1900. On Christmas Day a mob at Hurley hanged a white man. Except for this tragedy, Virginia would have been the only Southern State with a clear record on lynchings for the year Quandrule Lynching. In Oklahoma there was a quadruple lynching of cattlemen, and there were several double lynchings in Southern States. Texas led with thirteen cases and Georgia was a close second with twelve crimes and alleged crimes against white women were the principal causes, and accusations of murder and theft were responsible for many cases. A charge of counterfeiting was the incentive in one case and kidnapping in another. The record by States is: Texas, thirteen. Georgia, twelve; Alabama, eight; Florida, eight; Louisiana, seven; Mississippi, seven; Oklahoma, five; Kentucky, four; South Carolina, two; New Mexico, two; Missouri, one; Oregon, one; Virginia, one; West Virginia, one. The detailed record for 1909 is as follows: 6—Lexington, S.

(Continued on Page 3) MAYOR OF CAIRO ADMITS MOB'S ERROR Offers Reward of $1,000 for Arrest of Pelty Slayer SEARCH FOR REAL CULPRIT New York World Comments on Report of Grand Jury, Which It Says Condones Work of Mob. Cairo, Ill., Jan. 12—That the Cairo authorities realize that the slayer of Anna Pelly has not been found, although one Negro has been mobbed for having committed the crime and a white man lynched during the mob's frenzy, has been clearly shown by the announcement appearing in the Cairo Evening Citizen last week that Mayor Parsons had offered a $1,000 reward to anyone furnishing the identity of Anna Pelly's assailant. The announcement read as follows. A reward of one thousand dollars will be paid for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who killed Miss Anna Pelly in the City of Cairo, County of Alexander and State of Illinois, on the night of Monday, November 8, 1909, in the neighborhood of Elim and Twenty-seventh Street in said city. GURGE PARLS. Mayor of the City of Cairo, Ill. the news item appearing in the Evening Citizen relative to the reward read With the hope of securing certain facts claimed to be in possession of anonymous informants and to induce some person who may know the facts regarding the murder of Miss Aisha Fellbli to reveal the identity of the officer of the county, the City of Cairo has renewed the offer of reward of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons supposed to have been implicated in the murder. While the authorities have evidence was strong against Frogy James, they believe that there may be some other person or persons implicated with him. It is the desire of the city and county officials to bring before the grand jury over a coup of willful theft, and to secure the facts regarding the darkest crime in Cairo's history. Cairo Grand Jury Reproached by New York World. The New York World soundly scores the Cairo Grand Jurors for reporting that they believe no innocent man met his death at the hands of the mob Commenting editorially on the report the World said, under the caption, "A new Defense of Mob Law": The Grand Jury at Cairo, Ill., which after investigating the leaking of two documents with murder reported that "we believe no innocent man met his death at the hands of the mob." left its work incomplete. It should have adopted a formal resolution of the case to the mob from the county the needless trouble and expense of keeping in fail and trying its two victims. Having been praised for their discrimination in killing no innocent man, the jury here was recognized on the records of the grand jury as public benefactors. According to the Illinois theory apparently, when a mob feels disposed to break in the jail doors and hang a Negro or two or burn one at the stake it is fully justified if it tells that interest that all the might have been grounds for indicting the men already dead. This is a theory of justice not yet accepted by the courts and fortunately never likely to be. Instead of vindicating the law the Cairo grand jury directly identified itself with the latest that all the mob. In a way its position is more indefensible than that of the mob, for it did not have even the excuse of acting in the heat of passion. As a judicial body it was charged with the pursuit of criminals, not with openly allying a seafarer, and reads almost as if the grand jury intended to say that in the mob's place it would have lynched the two men itself. Negro Bank in Anniston. Special to TUW New York Agr. Anniston, Ala—There is a Negro bank in this city which is doing well. The bank owes its origin largely to the unselfish interest and hard work of Dr. W. R. Pettiford, of Birmingham. The local people have backed up Dr Pettiford's efforts and are in control of the bank. 1830 JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL Robert H. Terrell Renamed Municipal Judge. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR Washington, D. C., Jan 12—Judge Robert H. Terrell has been reappointed Municipal Judge of the District of Columbia by President Taft for a term of four years. Judge Terrell was formerly Justice of the Peace in the District of Columbia, and was appointed Municipal Judge by Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Judge Terrell was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday, January 11. INTEREST IN SCHOOL SITES Many Cities in Tennessee Bidding for Proposed Negro Normal, Industrial and Mechanical College Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Nashville, Tenn., Jan 11—Much enthusiasm is being manifested and substantial progress is being made by the association of Negro citizens of this city and vicinity, recently formed, for the purpose of securing the location of the proposed Negro Normal, Industrial and Mechanical College, for which provision was made by the last Tennessee Legislature, their plan being to have the institution located near Nashville, and in this (Davidson) County. The matter of selecting the site for the college is in the hands of the Board of Education of Tennessee, and it is understood several other cities of the State are bidding for the site, including Memphus, which, it is being urged, will be hard to outbid on account of her large Negro population being able to offer a larger amount of cash and other advantages, which the Board demands from the citizens and according to the legislative provisions in order to establish the school. The State's annual allowance amounts to but $17,000, and it is proposed to have the school establish features so as to be benefited by the Morrel Fund, which would give it a much larger endowment and make it usefulness more widespread. Hon J C. Naper, Dr R. F. Boyd and Rev R. H. Boyd have been selected from the committeemen to meet respectively the City Council, County Court and Board of Trade who will be asked to help financially to secure the location for Davidson County. A committee of one hundred influential Negro citizens will make a soliciting campaign among members of the race in an effort to raise a large amount themselves, the campaign to last a week and to wind up in what they propose to make their crowning effort at the last meeting, which will be held in the Ryman Auditorium here and at which they expect to have many prominent white citizens present. Took Money to Enter School Columbia, Miss, Jan 11 - After robbing their father of the savings of a lifetime in order that they might matriculate at the school of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., five children of Albert Alfred, an aged Negro farmer, have been forgiven. The three girls and two boys had attended to the father's business affairs, both he and their mother being unable to read or write. Alfred had accumulated $2,000, which was on deposit in the Columbia State Bank. He was opposed to educating his offspring, believing they should spend their lives on the farm. The three children disappeared and with him went the bank savings. Last week Alfred received a letter from the secretary of Booker T. Washington asking for recommendations before the children could be entered at the Tuskegee institution. PRICE, 5 CENTS Are to be Appointed in the South to Take Census DURAND'S POLICY Director of Census Issues Long Letter to Supervisors Instructing How to Make Selections. Members of Race to be [Named in South in Which Two-fifths or More of Population are Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK AOR. Washington, D. C., Jan 12.—Census Director Durand has issued a letter of instructions to supervisors of census throughout the country, approved by Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, defining the conditions relative to the employment of Negro as census enumerators. They are directed to select those so far as competent ones are available to count the Negroes in those enumeration districts in which two-fifths or more of the population consists of members of the race. He does not consider it desirable that in the South Negroes should enumerate white families, and he informs the supervisors that it will be necessary in many enumeration districts to appoint both a white and a Negro enumerator. The director's letter to the supervisors is as follows: "It is exceedingly important to the interests of the people of the United States and particularly to the people of the Southern States that the compulsory census should give complete and accurate information to the Negro race. It is probable that the census will show approximately 10,000 of that race in the United States, large districts in those countries constitute more than half of the population, in fact, in it all the census district stations established by the Census Bureau they will constitute from nearly 100 per cent of the population." "Negroes can doubtless obtain the information required by the census from members of their own race more accurately than white enumerators. In various of the Southern cities the board of education regularly employ Negro enumerators to take the school census of the Negro population. This is true, for example, in Montgomery, Ala., and in Savannah, Ga. This practice shows that the white men of the South themselves recognize the desirability of employing Negroes to do work of this character among their own race. "You are, therefore, hereby directed to select Negroes as enumerators of the Negro population, so far as competent Negroes offer themselves for the position, in those enumeration districts in which a large proportion of the population—say, two-fifths or more—consists of Negroes. On the other hand, I do not consider it desirable that in the South Negro appointed as enumerators should be authorized to enumerate white families. It is certain that in many, if not most, parts of the South Negro enumerators would not be able to obtain accurate statistics regarding the white population as white enumerators could. It will, therefore, be necessary in many enumeration districts, to appoint both a white enumerator and a colored enumerator in order that the entire population may be properly enumerated. "It is understood, of course, that applicants for the position of enumerator, whether white or colored, shall be subjected to such tests regarding their efficiency as may be prescribed, order that only competent persons may be employed." --- Speaking of Director Durand's proposed policy, the New York Evening Post has the following to say: "The wise decision of the new Director of the Census, Mr. E. Damu Durand, to employ Negro enumerators to deal with the Negroes in the South will give the greatest satisfaction to the colored people of that section. It is not merely that they wish the offices as a means of getting ahead, but that they feel that there will be more accurate reporting of their progress if the work is in the hands of their own people. The coming census means much to them. In the face of widespread criticism of their usefulness as citizens and laborers, they naturally wish all of their really phenomenal advance as a race recorded in time for the semi-centennial of emancipation, when the whole country ought to stop for a moment to take cognizance of their progress. That Mr. Durand's decision will be popular in the South is not probable since he is, however, to employ white enumerators for the whites, the edge will be taken off of any open faint-finding there may be. Here is the Richmond Times-Dispatch rejoicing over the rumor that Mr Taft intends hereafter to appointNegroes to office in the North only. This census decision does not look like it. But no one in the North will seriously object if the appointees are as able officials as Charles W. Anderson, the collector of internal revenue in this city, and William H. Lewis, Assistant United States District Attorney in Boston. ```markdown ``` Naval Vaccine at Bethel Through- ent January. --- The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom preached at both services at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Sunday. In the morning he spoke on "Let There Be Light," and in the evening on "Feeding With Swine." Revival services will be held every night during the week at Bethel A. M. E. Church in January except on Saturdays. Rev. Ransom will preach next Sunday morning Horizon Rexival Continues The revial meetings are attended with splendid results at "Little Zion," where the pastor, Rev J. H McMullen is preaching ga practical gospel against sin. Notwithstanding the very disagreeable weather conditions of last week, every evening the services were enthusiastic and well attended. On Sunday morning one young woman was happily converted during the sermon, and at the evening service a young man acme forward fully surrendered to the influence of the gospel. Such peaceful and spiritual benedictions as pervade the church is an omen of great results. During the past six months twenty-nine persons have united with the church. All financial obligations are met as they fall due, and the pastor is not allowed to want for anything in the way of support and comfort. The revival is still in progress. Union Baptist Church Revival services continue with great success. We have had seventeen converts in the past week and a good attendance each evening. Sunday at 11 a.m the pastor preached a strong sermon on "Christ's Presence With the Church." At 2 30 p.m. Superintendent W H Johnson officiated with his co-workers to instruct the little children "On the Life of Christ." At 4 p.m. the Missionary Circle under the direction of Mrs. R Bruce held a good meeting. At 5 p.m. Mrs A Williams, president of the B Y P U, felt greatly encouraged at the attendance and interest in the Union. At 7 30 p.m. a common was served to a crowded house, the hand of fellowship being extended to thirteen members. The offering is to be amounted to $143 Beecher Pastor at Nanarene.

The meetings on Wednesday and Thursday evenings were in charge of Mr Joseph. On Monday and Friday evening evenings they were in charge of J Edmead. The special speakers on Friday night were Messrs J Edmead, on "The Bible Antiquated" and Herbert I. Thomas, on "Church Work and the Child." Mr Edmead's address was of an assuring nature, wherein he showed that the Bible is co-day thearest guide and strengthener of weak human nature and its precepts and doctrines worthy to be relied upon. Mr. Thomas reminded his audience of the importance of work in the life of the Christian. The speaker dwelt upon the importance of child culture in social uplift. He spoke from his experience on how much good any effort among children can be made to accomplish, and urged his hearers not to allow the week just spent in prayer to be without definite results. In closing his remarks, he said that no neighborhood in this great city is more in need of work for the salvation of the child than that of 134th and adjacent streets. The pastor preached at morning service on Sunday and the singing meeting as usual attracted a large number of people. Revival at Mother Eion. Unbounded success in attending the efforts of Rev Bolden in the revival at Mother Zion Church. Many are coming forward at each service to be prayed for, while fifteen persons joined the church. The service by the pastor at both the morning and evening services were of religious enthusiasm, and their power is being felt by the hundreds of people who are attending the services every Sunday. Mr Lato preached the communion sermon in a highly acceptable manner. An unusually large number took the Lord's Supper. The Sunday School services were brief but interesting. The attendance showed a large interest. James A. Hopkins, ex superior, led of the Sunday School and the teacher of one of the largest Bible classes and also a leader of one of the largest classes in the church, was presented with a solid gold Masonic watch, to be the superintendent, Mr. Duto from his combined classes. Mr. Hopkins made a suitable reply and feeling, expressed his thanks for the gift The J. C. Price I. L. held a short session with a short program. The weekly paper edited by Mrs. Sadie M. Lockett was bright and evidently made a good impression. The rendering of a recitation by F. H. H. Burney was in every way pleasing with his fine dramatic effect. He is one of the best interpreters among the galaxy of elocutionists. C. T. A. French, vice-president of the Lyceum, read a splendidly prepared paper on the influence of the late King Leopold upon the Congo. Mr French has made quite a study of the conditions obtaining in that part of the country, and he demonstrated his ability to intelligently discuss the question he had to hand. Mestra. G. Washington THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1910. Butts and George B. Haynes, the critics, were introduced to the Lyceum and made short talks on what they expected to do toward building up the Lyceum. The program next Sunday will possess unusual merit Councilor John W. Smith will read a paper which will be of undoubted interest to those who attend. Alonzo A. Rives was made glad by the presentation of a very pretty and unique Masonic pin from the members of "That Famous Banner Class." On Sunday evening, January 2, the president of the board of trustees, James E. Nixon, was presented a package, contents unknown, by the members of his class. Mr. Nixon regards his leadership in the church more highly than any other position he holds. Among those who spent the holidays in the city was Miss Mabel Diggs of Howard University, who is taking such a leading part in the musical department of that cultured institution. Charles Miles of 144 West 100th street is confined to his home by pneumonia. Bethel A. M. E. Chapel. Rev W W Beckett, D.D., after a three months' trip to the Southern and Western Conferences as secretary of missions of the A. M. E. Church, arrived home recently and occupied the pulpit last Sunday evening, and delivered an excellent and interesting sermon to a well-filled house. There was one person received in the church. The revival services last week owing to the inclemency of the weather were not very well attended, but it will continue all this week. Preaching will be by prominent divines The Christmas exercises for the children last Thursday evening were enjoyable and largely attended. The presents to the pupils were very pretty as well as useful. Mrs. Alexander deserves much credit for the interest manifested The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Kenedy of 229 Fifth avenue was baptized by Rev Shields last Friday night at 11:30 o'clock. The baby was very ill, but since the baptism it is slowly convalescing. Dr De Shields will go any hour in the night to visit the sick. Mrs. S D Wilkerson at 195 West 133th street, who has best vying relatives, has returned home. Next Sunday evening the pastor will preach the sacrament at the Lord's Supper will be administered. V. W.

Fine Program Presented—Colored Grocer Sells Church Mortgage—Social Functions. The Emancipation celebration held by the People's Business and Cooperative Union, Thursday night, January 6, did not create the degree of enthusiasm and interest which many believe that the natal day of the manhood of our race should have done. We believe in living in the present and planning for the future, but that also it is largely from the history of the tragic past of the race that we gather inspiration and courage to push forward. A tableau, true to the past and present and illustrative of the future advancement of the race, was given by Miss Mabel Owens, reading of the Emancipation Proclamation was in unusually fine manner.

American prejudice follows the American flag, and prejudice is followed by disintegration, race suicide and political failure, if the southern section of these United States may speak. The race riot in Havana last week over the American hotel's refusal to serve Negro Congressmen—and in which the Negroes won a complete victory—is only the skirmish to the great battle which North American race oppression will wage with South American race freedom. The control and influence of the United States in South America politically, commercially and socially will hinge upon the issue of the impending struggle. Our country might as well face the music and while in Rome do as Romans do or leave Rome to do her own sweet will There is thus put up to America this crucial question. Those who have an eye single for her future well-being in the mixed republics to the south must realize that her anti-Negro sentiments cannot there prevalent unless their population is either exterminated or forcefully annexed. Americans, not only Government officials, but traders and tourists as well, must realize that Cuban freedom and South American freedom were bought at the price of Negro blood, not only in the rank and file of the majority of armies, but in their doggedly persistent and most able officers Americans must be made to realize that those Negroes and mulattoes, now at least one-half of the population, have furnished many of their leading statesmen and business men. Americans must be made to realize that by any discriminating commercial or political party they are breeding trainy and resourceful hostile men of the type of Del Gado, whose hostility, in a revolutionary Spanish population, will be fatal not only to American trade interests but eternal rancors in the vessels of American peace. It is for America and Americans to make of Cubans, white and black friends or foes. They may either pursue a democratic policy which will mean Cuban development, or they may pursue their undemocratic policy, which will promote dissension and leave Cuba devastated and undeveloped. May we not hope that Christian America will fulfil her mission and seize her opportunity even at her own commercial advantage and lead South Americans into the ways of progress and prosperity? Even as in the abolition of slavery, may we not expect democratic America to follow some day the lead of the less enlightened nations and treat men according to their merit and not according to their color? Is it inherently and eternally American to dam a man because he is black. Then success will not attend her ways in Cuba, Central and South America. THE FIGHT ON VARDAMAN. The Mississippi Legislature after several ballots is still deadlocked over the attempt to elect—Governor James K. Vardaman to the United States Senate. Few political Southern incidents in recent years have so claimed the attention of the country. Few have been so noteworthy. The South has been rapidly ridding herself of her fire-eating wavers of the bloody shirt and her Negro-hating platform performers. Her Governors chairs have been divested of their Hoke Smiths and her Jeff Davies and in their stead have been seated men like "Citizen Joe" Brown, in Georgia, and Governor Noel, of Mississippi. The one-eyed monster of South Carolina has been subdued by broken health and the Roosevelt exposure. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, aviomit of his own methods, has passed to his final judgment. The stubborn fight which the determined minority of Mississippi conservatives is waging against its spectacular demagogue's ambitions is laudable and encouraging. Like every other Southern demagogue Vardaman's public professions do not square with his acts and private life. And it has been their public professions which have harried the South at times into little less than a howling wilderness. Vardaman, too, knows his "good Negroes" and as Governor did many acts worthy of rejection. He abolished the corrupt lead system and he splendidly improved the Alcorn A. & M. College for Negroes. During his term of four years as Governor there were fewer Negro liberals must make sure other four years in the State's history. He personally led the militia in all such outbreaks and directed the State soldiers to uphold at all hazards the law and their oaths. Despite this splendid record Vardaman is a dangerous demagogue. The race question is his hobby. He is a Southern punish politician. He says the Negro is inherently and permanently inferior. He advocates the modification of the Fourteenth Amendment and the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment. All friends of good government and of political progress must congratulate the opponents of Vardaman on their splendid opposition. His election would be another political calamity to the South and an irrepressible disgrace to the nation. DIRECTOR DURAND'S SERVICE Census Director Durand* by his latest order directing Southern census supervisors to appoint Negro enumerators to take the census of the Negro population has rendered the race a double service. First of all he is assuring the race a fair count, something which it has never had. Secondly, he is giving rightful employment to Negroes, something which they have not had in adequate proportion in former census takings and something which we feared they were not to have in any measure this time. Deplorable as it is that conditions make it seem necessary to the Government to recognize the color line, the order is both practical and political. By directing that there shall be Negro numerators in those districts where the Negro population is two-fifths or more of the total, due to the fact that the Negroes in the cities and country districts are congregated, there will be Negro numerators for nearly the entire black population. By ordering that Negroes shall not enumerate white families, the occasion for race friction has been avoided. That in some districts there will be thus both a white and black numerator and a double expense incurred was inevitable Director Durand richly argues that as Southern boards of education employ Negroes to take the school census there can be no logical reason to the Government employing Negro numerator. With equal trust and positive Director Durand and President Leftew were appended to in vain. The settlers, including Congressman Hardwick and Bartlett of Georgia, who would suppress the truth concerning the Negroes numbers and progress. In that only competent Negroes will be appointed, a task devolves upon Tuskegee and Hampton and Atlanta University and other Negro institutions whose prerogative it is to promote Negro progress, to present and secure honest and capable colored men. It is regrettable, we cannot omit to say, that the Government should deem it wise that no Negro supervisors should have been appointed, that colored enumerators should be appointed on this strictly color basis. But Director Durand has thus redeemed a situation which otherwise seemed hopeless and discouraging. The Negro in the census of 1910 will probably have a full and fair estimate of his wealth and numbers revealed to the world. More than that he does not want. Less than that he should not have PHILLIS WHEATLEY Phillis Wheatley filled a great and unique place in the history of the Negro race. As say Mr. and Mrs R. R. Wright, the editors and publishers of the neat and attractive little edition just issued of her poems, she proved conclusively so early as the Revolutionary War the capacity of the Negro for the highest culture So apt was she in literature and Latin, she wrote verses of such unusual merit and such remarkable English that she astonished New Englanders and attracted the attention of their leading men. I test there be any question afterwards concerning the identity of the author eighteen of the foremost men of her day and section, including Governor Thomas Hutchinson, Leutenant-Governor Andrew Oliver, Harrison Gray, James Bowdow and John Hancock, write a memorial to the public attesting the fact of her authorship. She debated a poem to George Washington, which pleased the General highly, who out of modesty refused to publish Her poems, the editors say, composed the second volume of Abbie Joseph Le Valle's book, "The Negro Equalled by Few Europeans," published in 1801. Brought to this country at the age of seven or eight years, at the age of fifteen, in 1770, she wrote a poem in memory of George Whitfield Phillis Wheatley taught the Americans of her time that the Negro race, too, has genius. Their conclusion that followed from many such other concrete evidences was that the Negro is just like other men. That Puritanic liberty-loving New England should have later led in the fight for the freedom of the Negro was inevitable. The editors of the new edition in again calling attention to Phillis Wheatley and in preserving her works have rendered a service. The edition is one of the best pieces of mechanical work that has come from a Negro publishing house in a long time. The volume is gotten out by the A. M. E. Book Concern in Philadelphia Phillis Wheatley should be a household work among Negroes. PROPERTY, IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS The standard of public affairs of the public men in New York with but few exceptions is far below what it should be. With but these few exceptions, the Negroes who have in charge the movements and efforts of public interest have as their end and aim personal and selfish advancement. The Negro politician first of all seeks to turn every meeting and every movement, whether historic, philanthropic or purely racial to political and commercial account. The Negro preacher—and here we include men of the cloth high in their church—dabbles in politics to the detriment of their own profession and to the hurt of their own standing with their people. No great call to purify government is needed to bring them down to the street corner of the hurly-burly political game. The reform of tenement house and slum conditions, the waste of public money and official corruption are not the calls which they heed with an eye single to the public and the race's good. They with their fellows will not permit the race's best men to lead and represent the race on such occasions. They thwart the efforts of good men. To their shame be it said they enter any and every movement where petty graft seems opportune. We single out these two classes of our public men because their offences are most flagrant and frequent. We need not point out the occasions. We need not specify the individuals. Neither need we tell of the hurt to the race which their nefarious motives have worked. This petty, putrid public performance was in evidence at the reception of the Tenth Cavalry last summer. They repeated this disgraceful procedure at the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. They attempted their same grafting game during the recent election when the forces of good government were waging war against those of vice and corruption We are content to day to call attention to this lack of probus in many of our public men. We shall later advocate methods for a reform which is an indeed urgent. Since it now to say that the Negro public of New York should make to the Low standard of these self-pointed leaders. There should be a better awakening at this opportunity. These leaders should be released permanently to the rest. Instead the Negroes of New York should honor with designate and follow worthy leaders. JUDGE TERREL REAPPOINTED, Judge Robert H Terrell, appointed by President Roosevelt as a Justice of the Peace in Washington, D.C., and promoted to a judgeship of a district municipal court last February, has just been reappointed by President Taft for a term of four years. Judge Terrell was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday, January 11. His reappointment testifies to the wrath of his promotion Possessing in an eminent degree judicial poise, fairness and firmness, strange as it may seem, Judge Terrell has been frequently called the most popular municipal judge in the district A graduate of Harvard in the class of 1884, Judge Terrell has ever since been a conscientious student of the law Through hard work and strict performance of duty, he has forced his way onward and upward We congratulate the Judge upon his reappointment. A FULFILLED NEED? We are informed that efforts are now making among experienced Negro hotel men of this city for a large and respectable colored hotel. Whether these efforts will remain nothing more than hope and prospects we can not say. With all other Negroes who appreciate the hotel situation for Negroes, not only in New York, but as well in Boston, Philadelphia and nearly every other large city we can hope that these efforts will materialize. Especially urgent is the need and especially good is the opportunity for a first class colored hostelry in New York. If there should be established, let us say on Fifty-second street, convenient to all colored communities, to the railroad and railway facilities, and to the theatre and shopping districts, a clean and commodious hotel, such an establishment would be not only a service to the race, but should be highly profitable as well. A hardly realized large number of Negroes are constantly coming to and through New York. They are lost on their arrival for places of accommodation. There are a hundred thousand Negroes in Greater New York who do their shopping and attend the theatres who are likewise lost for places of first-class restaurant accommodations. The same conditions obtain in the other large cities. There is here both an opportunity and a service for men of experience and means. We sincerely trust that such men will rise to the occasion EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Secretary Knox's plan for preserving the open door and neutrality in Manchuria has got all Europe and The prohibition law passed by the last Tennessee legislature went into effect on midnight, January 1, and on January 3 Tennessee was as dry as a bone. But Southern Bourbons have had their hospitality for countless ages and the leopard doesn't change his spots overnight. O when, yes, oh when will our strenuous Teddy come? He's gone to hunt the jungle with his little megaphone. But it's deep in our heart that we wish him safe at home. Havana Negroes following up their victory over the American hotel have ever since been flocking to the hotel bar in droves. Wise men heap coals of fire on the heads of their enemies and then rub them in by swallowing their wrath and turning the right cheek when smitten on the left --- Cairo, Illinois, has posted another one thousand dollar reward for information as to the murderer of Anna Pelty. Not that they say that Troggy James, the Negro burned at the stake, did not commit the murder. Oh, no but just to make assurance doubly sure. Isn't this the limit of infernal modesty? In addition to the large hole made in the Republican balloon by the open split of the insurgents in Congress another nasty rent has been made by the discharge of Gifford Pinchot, the man who knows more than any other about American forests. Now we have no doubt that the administration will patch up all these matters before 1912, but let us suggest that a stitch in time saves nine. On the ground that New York is seeking to enforce class legislation in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment in that the State is discriminating between white and Negro Elks, the latter declare that their case will be taken to the highest court of the land if necessary.

Nashville Globe Editor Says No To the Editor of The New York Age Your letter of December 20 has been opened. I have not been able to answer until now. You ask me for an opinion on the word Negro, whether or not the same approach may or not be applied as a rule. My answer is NO. I have not as yet been able to see the propriety in adopting the word. If Negro- ism is not applied to us as a race, I use the word Negro. I also use the word Afro-American, and sometimes I say and write colored, and again I say Afro-American. We are Americans of African descent, and in my opinion if we are distinguished as a race in this country we can the most distinguished by the name of Afro-American. As to the change in the name of your paper I suppose that is an unattainable thing, but the people of this country and of other countries have become familiar with the old name. D. A. HART.

He knew the old "Peveril of the Peak" would scorn it coming from him, and so he went to Lamar and said that he had Lamar should stand sponsor, and that he should not be known in the transaction at all. Lamar grasped his hand and said: "Bruce, you are as much of a gentleman as ever I will appreciate you and shall gladly discharge the office to which you have appointed me." The old man got the place and died in the public service. That one circumstance nails to the counter every one of the ten thousand lies in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and if Mississippi could produce such a Negro as Bruce, is there any wonder she should be the man as Herman-Davis Money.

WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Because of the Negro being unable to find constant employment, and as it is natural that they congregate in the city, the Negro community other sections only see them in this place where they spend many enforced idle moments, the impression is that Negroes are shiftless, and industrial managers cannot get results from his as he can from laborers or other races. Some one is blind to the fact that a Negro artisan is not a restless citizen of the city, and thus thousands of other races have failed to produce. In the town of Favelleville N.J. J. there is a silk mill killing employment with the foreman of the mill, he said that he found the Negro employees possessing inherent qualities that make them skilled operators. In tobacco and clothing, the Negro employees are employed, managers say that the Negro is peculiarly fitted to give service as good as other races. This fitness will be good returns to the Negro, and this section would launch movements that would give employment to an element that would not cause the returns from promotion to diminish, and that would not be the best center.—The Charleston Message Recognizing the fact that the late municipal election in Kansas City, under the referendum, for the adoption or the ordinance extending the franchise of the Marmon Railway Company, was to be a test of the ability of the Democratic city administration to put over a measure in behalf of the Democratic leaders in the attorneys of the railways company, the Republicans lined up against it. The Democratic council had passed the ordinance, such Democratic leaders as James Reed, and their local heutenants and State allies had promoted and approved it, and the workers of the Democracy. Many of the Democratic politicians and ward heutens went into the fight with the idea that they could control the large Negro vote by a liberal distribution of the votes out their host. The colored citizens of Kansas City had not gotten the bitter taste of Crittenden and his Jimcrowism out of their system, and they sweetened enemies with an avalanche of Noe's.

It is not that the Sun wishes to uphold the students, but rather to try to imitate the only valuable folk songs America knows.

January 9, 1910 NEGRO NOT SOURCE OF HOOKWORM A conference of Southern States upon the causes and cure of the hookworm disease has been called in Atlanta. Mingled resentment and congratulations on the part of the South have met the donation by John D. Rockefeller of one million dollars. Bishop Caudler, of Georgia, openly denounced and impugned the motives of the philanthropist, while Governor Hadley, of Missouri, has just declined in a derivative statement to name State delegates to the Southern convention, declaring he will give no official consideration to a fantastic a movement. The Negro has been credited with the origin and distribution of the nasty little germ which has given the white Southernners that tired feeling, just as it has been the historic fashion of their eminent statements to ascribe to the black man the source of all their woes. Dr R. T. Luis, of Dallas, Texas, has sent to the Dallas express the following illuminating and conclusive refutation of the charge. He says In a recent issue of McClure's Magazine, Mr Marion Hamilton Carter, in reporting his brilliant study of the causes of the hookworm among the millions of poor whites of the South, says 'Causes of the conditions existing among the poor whites of the South is the hookworm, and the source of the hookworm is the Negro.' The editor of Current Literature concluded an article on the hookworm by saying "Where the Negro goes, the hookworm goes." In Mr. Carter's brilliant report, he admits that the Negro is immune from the degenerations caused by hookworm. Mr. Carter says the paranormal hookworm seems to have been brought to this country by the Africans generation ago. These statements are at white background, show the subject in the subject in band. Goeze, a German clergyman andologist, in 1782, discovered a hair-like parasite in the intestine of a hedgehog which he was dissecting, and which he round worm *wurm* (the hair round worm). Froellich, another German zoologist, found a similar parasite in the intestine of a fox, observing the hook-spoken of by Goeze, and still supposing them to be such. Froellich adopted the hook-spoken of by worm *wurm* (the hook-spoken of by worm), to the genus hooked. Thus the parasite got its name. In 1843 Dubim, an Italian of Milan described a species occurring in man's spread anemia among industrial makers, excavators and the poor rural population. It was terrible epidemic of what then became known as tunnel disease broke out among the workers in the St. Gothard tunnel, and the interest of the whole scientific world was aroused. There was no doubt as to the cause of the disease, and that it had been spread through total neglect of personal hygiene, lack of sanitary conveniences. The soil of the tunnel was completely impregnated with the ova and larvae of the species and all who handled it became infected. The Negro was not there, hence the Negro was not the source of it. Netherland is the least indigenous of Africa in the least obscure, have become some simple at last. Compacted within its tiny body, less than an inch long and looking like a small soiled coarse thread, are well developed solitary coarse phagocytes, intestinal canal, various glial cells, to which the female adds the capacity for many thousand eggs. The mouth is shapped and bordered by a fastector against the intestine, righteously against the intestine of its host during feeding and the strong muscular larcophage thus becomes, a powerful phagocyte. In addition, the mouth are two pairs of small innuous lancets, and prominent at the rim is a single stilleto-like fang, the mouth a round, with a long gland at its head, ready to eat. It presses its mouth diagonally against the intestine, draws a tiny bit of mucous membrane into its mouth and fangs. Through the minute lancet and made the blood is sucked out. The punctures are repeated many times during the course of a meal, finally rife with blood. If not actually gouging it itself, After the worm has dropped off genomic bacterin frequently finds lodges in these holes, produces small microbes in these holes and forms irregular ulcerations. On account of the irritation caused by the presence of the worm, it is quite common to find, in addition to the lesion, a diffuse scarring of variable security. The only prevention of this terrible disease is to keep the premises as well as the body in a perfectly sanitary environment. It is all riot about the Negro community, nicking the hookworm, for everybody knows that the Negro and the poor whites of the South have no personal contact—to say nothing of communal contact. From any disease, let them report to the frequent use of soap and water and put only wholesome food in the stomachs. The only remedy to the stomach is to wash the stomach, and should only be imitated by a physician. At City Does for Intellectual Uplift of Its Negro Citizens Many Negroes Engaged in Business—Fifteen Churches in City Life—Comfortable Homes. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 10.—The question is frequently asked—What has Chattanooga done toward the intellectual uplift of her colored citizens? The following statistics will throw one light on the subject: It has three grammar schools and one high school. There are thirty-five Negro teachers at an average of $42 a month each, with three principals at a salary of $1100 a year each. The grammar schools have four primary and four grammar grades, with a course of study and requirements identical with one of the white schools. In the high schools there is a required course of two years, with a college of a third year. The investment in land, buildings and equipment for the three school buildings near $150,000, while the sum of $200-a year is required for their maintenance. The Negro school population begen the ages of six and twenty-one years is 4,144. Of this number 3,543 are to read and write. The actual enrolment is 2,800. That the enrollment not a larger per cent. of the school population is due to the fact that the unit of twenty-one years is three years longer than the usual limit—eighteen years—with the result that a very large number of those between eighteen and twenty-one years of age do not attend school, but are at work earning a liv- The figures given you relate alone to city proper.

Doubled the regular demand will be met and funds provided for this system next year. There have been organized School improvement Associations among the strons of the colored schools with the suit that the actual attendance during present session has been larger than the previous year. leaves to the white child. There is a difference of opinion as to just kind of education the State should offer for all her children; most usually a thorough grammar school education and corresponding technical training to fit them for the usual duties of life. The colored high school has kept back of its former pupils, and it is most gratifying to report that all the graduates are leading honorable, honest and useful lives, none have disgraced their school and their city. Surely this makes the city's expenditure a profitable one. The Negro citizens of Chattanooga have become land owners. They have built hundreds and hundreds of comfortable homes and thus allied them with the conservative, solid citizenship. There are one hundred Negro patrons of the telephone company. These phones are an evidence of thrift and business enterprise. City Auditor Payne says the amount of property, chiefly homes, owned by the Negro citizens of Chattanooga is surprisingly large, and they lose nothing by comparison with their white neighbors of equal learning capacity. They are following many profitable mercantile pursuits. On Whiteside street is a Negro grocer with property and stock in the neighborhood of $35,000, while others have from $5,000 to $20,000 in business and property. Next to this auditorium there is a building owned by a Negro costing about $11,500 and in it is a drug store that is a credit to any city industrial lines the Negro men of Chattanooga are unusually active. There are many contractors and builders skilled stone mason and mason and carpenters, while there are hundreds of metal and wood workers earning from $ to $30 per day. For example in one of our iron working factories there are $250 to $250 per day, nine making from $250 to $3 per day, seventeen making from $ to $350 per day, two making from $75 to $1 per day. All this work is done by Negro labor without any serious conflict with white labor. In ordinarily good times there may be honest wages by the bon- wore man or mechanic in Chat- town.

No more eloquent chapter can be written on the Chattanooga Negro than that embodied in an address delivered a short time ago to a mixed audience by a noted white attorney of this city—Mr L. M. Coleman. Mr Coleman said "The colored people of Chattanooga are intelligent, earnest, self-respecting, law-abiding citizens. They are proud of Chattanooga and Chattanooga is proud of them." ROOSEVELT ON THE AFRICANS. Mighty African Hunter Says Government Should be for the Good of Africans. President Roosevelt in his article on "African Game Trails" in the Christmas number of Scrubbers for the first time discusses African politics. Following up the splendid speeches which the strenuous hunter has made on festive occasions to the whites now colonized in British Africa, he again deals frankly with the political problems which must attend the development of the black man's country. Saying that the African problem is for the white man to govern "with wisdom and firmness, and, when necessary, with severity, but always with an eye single to their own interests and development, the black and brown races," he concludes his remarkable discussion thus: "We lunched with the American missionaries. Mission work among savages offers many difficulties, and often the wisest and most earnest effort meets with dishearteningly little reward; while lack of commonsense, and of course above all, lack of a firm and resolute disinterestedness, insures the worst kind of failure. There are missionaries who do not do well, just as there are men in every conceivable walk of life who do not do well, and excellent men who are not missionaries, including both government officials and settlers, are only too apt to jump at the chance of criticizing a missionary for every alleged stiff of either omission or commission. Finally, zealous missionaries, servient in the faith, do not always find it easy to remember that savages can only be raised by slow steps, that an empty adherence to forms and ceremonies amounts to nothing, that industrial training is an essential in any permanent upward movement, and that the gradual elevation of mind and character is a prerequisite to the achievement of any kind of Christianity which is worth calling such. Nevertheless after all this has been said, it remains true that the good done by missionary effort in Africa has been calculable. There are parts of the great continent, and among them I include many sections of East Africa, which can be made a white man's country, and every effort should be made to favor the growth of a large and prosperous white population. But over most of Africa the problem for the white man is to govern, with wisdom and firmness, and when necessary with severity, but always with an eye single to their own interests and development, the black and brown races. To do this needs sympathy and devotion no less than strength and wisdom, and in the task the part to be played by the missionary and the part to be played by the official are alike great, and the two should work hand in hand." Discussing in his narrative the nature of women with whom he was hunting, he said, "Safari life is very pleasant, and also very picturesque. The porters are strong, patient, good-humored savages, with something childlike about them that makes one really fond of them. Of course, like all savages and most children, they have their limitations, and in dealing with them firmness is even more necessary than kindness, but the man is a poor creature who does not treat them with kindness also, and I am rather sorry for him if he does not grow to feel for them, and to make them in return feel for him a real and friendly hiking. They are subject to gusts of passion, and they are now and then guilty of grave misdeeds and shortcomings, sometimes for no conceivable reason, at least from the white man's standpoint. But they are generally cheerful, and when cheerful are always amusing, and they work hard of the white man is able to combine tact and consideration with that insistence on the performance of duty the lack of which they despise as weakness. Any little change or excitement is a source of pleasure to them. When the march is over they sing, and after two or three days in camp they will not outly sing, but dance when another march to begin. Of course the suffer greatly from thirst and hunger and fatigue, and at times they will suddenly grow gullen or rebel without what seems to us any adequate cause, and they have an inconsequent type of mind which now and then leads them to commit follies all the more exasperating because they are against the interest of their employer. But they do well on the whole, and safari life is attractive to them. They are fed well, the government requires that they be fitted with suitable clothes and given small tents, so that they are better clad and sheltered than they would be otherwise, and their wages represent money which they could get in other way. The safari represents a great advantage to the porter, who in his turn alone makes the safari possible. "When we were to march, camp was broken as early in the day as possible. Each man had his allotted task, and the tents, bedding, provisions, and all else were expeditionally made into suitable packages. Each porter is supposed to carry from fifty-five to sixty pounds, which may all be in one hundle or in two or three. If the man was a matter of much pride to the porters, and was always carried at the head or near the head of the line of march, and after it in single file came the long line of burden bearers. As they started some of them would blow on horns or whistles and others would beat little tomtoms, THE HOME OF THE MAYOR and at intervals this would be renewed again and again throughout the march; the men might suddenly begin to chant, when we asked to keep repeating in unison some one word one phrase which, when we asked to have it translated, might or might not prove to be entirely meaningless."

He made several references to the relative size of the brain of the white and black races, and declared that while it was true that the brain of the white race averaged a little above that of the black, it did not show that there was any superiority of the white brain over the black White women, he said, had a smaller brain than the white man, but no one would say that the white woman was inferior to the white man, and still the white woman's brain was also lighter than that of the Negro Prejudices, he said, can be overcome only by achievement.

Springfield, Mass. Jan. 11.—Up here where home gardening and attractive front yards are a sort of craze of the hour, it is highly refreshing to find a Negro in the front ranks with those who have known art and culture in every phase for centuries. Alexander Hughes, of 16 Monson street, has a front yard whose luxury of flowers and shrubbery along with the most velvety lawn in the city calls forth expressions of admiration from all those who make the study of these things a specialty. As the picture will show he has a heavy rooftop hugging the lower part of the front of the house, thus concealing the offensive glaze of a brick and cement foundation. Then comes the clean white walk, the enviably and well-kept lawn and 'tiring about this a wealth of shrubbery and trees that would do honor to a more tropical section. It is difficult to appreciate the racial value of a piece of work like this. Every Negro in the city is lifted a little higher in the estimate of his white neighbor by this lawn. As the Republican stated some time ago no discussion of gardens and trout vards is complete even among the most skilled in such matters without mention of the place of Mr Hughes. It is significant, that this lot is never mentioned as the possession of a Negro out simple as the possession of Alexander Hughes. Thus even by this labor, a pastime Mr Hughes ceases to be a Negro and becomes a man. Many of our New England colored people emulate the example of Mr Hughes and thus and in wiping out the reputation of indulence and do-not-hut whine of many of our Northern Negroes. ALPHA PHI ALPHA A National Negro Fraternity Organized. The first national Negro fraternity, the Alpha Phi Alpha, has just ended its second annual convention in New York City. In order that a more perfect foundation might be established, two sessions were held during the Christmas holidays. The first was held in Richmond, at the Virginia Union University, on December 28, 29 and 30. The second was held in New York City, at the Colored Y. M. C. A. 252 West 63d street, on December 31 and January 1. In 1906 the fraternity was begun at Cornell University, where the Alpha Chapter is located. In 1907 the Beta and Gamma Chapters were formed at Howard University, in Washington, D. C., and Virginia Union University in Richmond, respectively. Toronto, of Toronto, Canada, formed the Delta Chapter in 1908. The year 1909 showed a signal development along the lines begun at Cornell, three new chapters being formed, the Epsilon, Zeta and Eta, at Ann Arbor, Yale and Columbia, respectively. Total membership, about 116 Negro men. The national officers elected last year at the convention held at Howard in Washington, D. C., were: President, M. A Morrison, of Howard; vice-president, H. A Callis, of Cornell, secretary, S. S Booker, of Virginia, treasurer, R. C. Giles, of Cornell. The various chapters and their representatives at this year's convention were Cornell (Alpha), represented by R C Giles and L. E Graves; Howard (Beta), by M A Morrison, N. P G. Adams and Dagler; Virginia (Gamma), by S. S Booker, and Hies; Ann Arbor (Epsilon), by William M. Thorne (Yale Beta), J. M Maso and Columbia (Eta), by George W. A Scott and C T. A. French. Much business of great importance was accomplished during the two sessions. The fraternity hopes to establish chapters in several other universities during the coming year. The newly elected officers are President, R C. Giles, of Cornell, vice-president, William M. Thorne, of Ann Arbor, secretary, S S. Booker, of Virginia Union, and treasurer, N P G. Adams, of Howard.

M POPULARITY OF RAGTIME SOME months ago one of our leading bandmasters gave out an interview relative to the popularity of ragtime, in which he declared that such music was a thing of the past, and that it was seldom strains of the copated variety were heard in the leading hotels and restaurants of New York nowadays. Should one give close attention to the musical situation, however, it would be found difficult to agree with the conclusions formed by this noted bandmaster. Within the past six months it seems that ragtime has regained its former hold on the public—that is, if one's judgment is to be based on the number of ragtime songs heard on Broadway and the respectful consideration shown this brand of music by the publishers. With the exception of the "Chocolate Soldier" and possibly one other musical piece, every big production with music in New York has quite a list of ragtime songs on its program. There seems to be at this time a craze for songs with the word "rag" is the title. Since the appearance of the "Yankana Kag" we are being inflicted with all all kinds of compositions on which the word "rag" is used preceded by some adjective. 10-day almost every big musical show has such a number on its program. That ragtime is again coming into its own is evidenced in the new production in "The Jolly Eichhorn," designated on the program as a musical spectacle in two acts and seven scores, which opened at the Broadway Theatre last week. The show, which is one of the highest and most entertaining seen on the Gray White Way, for some time boasts of twenty-three musical numbers, many of which are ragtime compositions. Eager is the management to make good in the ragtime numbers that Stella Mayhew, who bears the high-growing name of "Veronica Verdigris" Jackson' in the piece, appears throughout as a colored miss of chocolate, hue, and sings several ragtime numbers, one of which is entitled "Sion That Rag." I am taking a comparison it may be of interest to relate that while the white musical shows are exhibiting a penchant for ragtime songs, the only colored production that has graced Broadway this season, "Mr. Lode of Koal," cannot plead guilty of having on its program one deep-dyed-in-the-wool ragtime selection. In fact, it appears that a studied endeavor has been made to keep far away from ragtime for some unknown reason. Probably the absence of ragtime songs in the production prompted some of the white critics to make the charge that an attempt was being made by the soloists and members of the chorus to imitate the white performers. However, in recalling the principal song, "Harbor of Lost Dreams" it would be difficult for the singers to show an abundance of sprightness and energy. Colored Shows Must Pay More Attention to Songs and Singing. At all times does the writer deplore the use of ragtime songs containing such obnoxious words as "mugger," "coon," as well as the overworked words chicken, razor, etc., but no opposition will be shown to interpolating ragtime numbers which have good, clean lyrics. Then, too, if ragtime is once more coming in style it is more fitting that our colored shows direct attention to this kind of music than the white aggregations, as it is generally known that colored singers can sing ragtime songs more effectively than white performers. The writer is not making the plea that our colored productions pay attention to only ragtime, but it is to be hoped that this music will not be ignored altogether as in the case of "Mr. Lode of Koal." If in the future our colored stars want to make a successful as well as a lengthy run on Broadway there is much that they will have to take into consideration, and if they are wise they will give the public what it wants, not what they desire the public to have. In the successful musical shows of to-day more attention is given to the musical end than to the dialogue. As stated above, in "The Jolly Bachelors" there are twenty-three numbers, and nearly every one is of the level, jingly variety. The writer regrets that he is unable to make a similar assertion with reference to some of our leading colored shows which this season would not take the medal for songs of quality or quantity. Aside from the consideration given the musical program, the best shows of the season pay marked attention to the scenic end, introducing many novelties in the staging of the numbers. Very few novelties, if any, have been brought to the attention of the writer this season by the colored shows, although the opportunities afforded for the display of such ingenious methods are many and varied. At this time the staging of a MUSIC AND THE STAGE EDITED BY song means much, and not only should the star or stars be provided with good numbers appropriately staged, but the other members of the cast having songs as well. Only a few of our leading comedians have made it their policy to instruct their writers to furnish those in the cast with songs to which they were peculiarly hitted, and stage the numbers accordingly. The star is not the only one in a show who should be paid especial attention. To insure an even performance it behooves the writers to give strong parts and catchy songs to those who are selected to entertain an audience while the star or stars are off the stage. Otherwise interest will be shown only when the principals are before the footlights. In the palmy days of Weber and Fields they enjoyed their greatest successes when they surrounded themselves with the best talent obtainable and let them go as far as they liked. The writer longs to see the day when a similar state of affairs will exist in all of our colored shows and performers of ability will be turned loose and told to go the limit. 217 WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

Too Much Opera and Drama That New York had gone theatrical and opera mad was generally understood but it has remained for the managers through their confessions at the association that to disclose the fall of the state and its paralyzing effects. These handtoed petitions of good opinion in two weeks season with eighty-seven in the series of the classics appearing for patrons and among moving public shows in fall that almost the entire city strut in play companies. There the limbs come to New York's world of plays for outstanding amusement and art. There are limitations to its exigencies for beauty and bounds to its expenditure for entertainment. Some containment of this oversupply of stage attractions is clearly needed not done in the interest of the box office but in plain justice to plighters but to this overestimation of the theatrical industry are do not only the dwindling audiences but the bad plays and incompetent companies. The forcing process has proved harmful to all concerned. Its effect is well illustrated by the remark of Mr Hayman that he knows "only three actresses and one actor who can be rolled on as drawing-cards in America to-day". The statement bears eloquent witness to the standards of the New York stage a quarter of a century after Daly and Wallack. How is the remedy to be applied? It is not to be supposed that the trust method of dismantling unproductive plants will be resorted to while new theatres continue to spring up mushroom-like. Yet the prediction of foreclosure sales if the present conditions prevail shows their seriousness to managers. New York World. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER V. WALTON McVen-Jennette Fight Big Society Event. Judging from the accounts in the Paris papers of the recent McVen-Jennette match, a prize fight is considered a big society event in dear, old Paris. In glancing over the list of those present the names of members of the nobility or notorious, and, what's more, prominent Societies women are giving special mention of having witnessed the bout. Following is the write up in part of the fight is published in the Paris edition of the Herald. At the Cipriau de Paris last evening before a large and fashionable audience, the two Americas in color braceweights, M. Vélez and Jennette fought a thirty round contest which ended in a draw. Interest was keen in the encounter for M. Vélez and not Jennette, twice last year, the first battle of twenty rounds ending in his favor on points while the second which was to a chush proved too long for him and he gave up in the forty ninth round. Among prominent people who witnessed last night's boxing were Barons Horta and Monteiro de Hortauld. Count de Ponteadio MM Charron, Camille Plone, Leslie Delage, Desgranges of the Valeu and M. Vélez of the Nice Grand Arena presents included Messis, Oscar Lewisohn, Harry Rozenfeld, William Carroll, Henry J. Thomson and Cathen Among the many women were Mrs Oscar Lewhohn and Milo Gustaf of the Comic Dameate. The big event of the program was preceded by two interesting boots. In the first Sam Kelly a good English fourth-wright beat Paul Till the French champion in that category. The verdict went to Kellan on points and was popular. This was followed by another ten pounds off between East and the same amateur lightweight champion of France and Daryle Hales of London. It was simply a singing match, in which the French man ran himself out by too fast a beginning. In the eighth round his seconds toasted the sponge. McVean and Ianette did not keep the public waiting long and with the usual army of seconds helpers and bangers on which is customary in France took the ring in time. The trotter was Mr J. T. Holle of the Spotted Life London Ianette was seconded by Tom Stewart Wilkie Lewis and Marc Gaucher under the expert guidance of his manager Mr Dan McKetrick McVean on the other hand was looked after by a somewhat mixed team of colored boxers, including Bob Scanlon, presided over by Mr Ecclestone, otherwise known as Grand Vaudeville Show and Ladies' Souvenir Reception Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Ass'n (INCORPORATED) AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN On Friday Evening, January 28, 1910 OENERAL ADMISSION, 60 CENTS Pre-Lenten Recital and Assembly At PALM GARDEN, 58TH STREET and LEXINGTON AVE.

Presents Strong Bill by Noted Vaudeville Artists and Novel Pictures BILL CHANCED TWICE A WEEK Jolly Jumbo of the Coach and Horses, Stonebridge Park, London, where Mo Vaa trains when he is in England. In the early stages of the night Jumbo set up a asfal lead on points. From Mo Vaa kept rushing, but his attacks lacked precision and told to penetrate his opponent's skilful defence. Great attention was paid by both to the kidney punch but while Mo Vaas's innards seemed impatient to attack, Jumbo had an only red lump on the small of his back by the fifteenth round. The defence on both sides at this stage was the feature of the light and the parrying of well-mount blows cooked applause from the audience. In the middle stages of the match Joanne it seemed to tire for a time and contended hints if with dodging McNeil's fierce rushes. His dick was very clever and throw McNeil on his hands several times by impression was again created by what happened now and later that twenty rounds is McNeil's best distance and he thinks as himself. Still he kept rolling off the adverse course to tell the twenty fifth round after which Joanne it was much the fresher now, was all over him and most have piled up a heap of points. Judged as a winner it must be admitted that Joanne it clever and more thick than McNeil and his defender is stronger than his attack. McNeil is a hard or bitter but appears looking in stamina. The verdict of a draw was on popular. In the opinion of most sportspersons, present cigarette was fairly easily on points. There was a discredited exhibition on the part of some spectators in the gallery who drew musks into the ring during the last round why they alone knew M. A. weighted 44.7 lb. and I knew P. Pat 47.0 lb.

Mr. Ransom's pulpit explosion was to reply to some disparaging remarks about the Negro to made by the Rev.
