Deeneen Outwit Cairo Ruffians LYNCHING PREVENTED Deputies Fire Into Mob and Cow Would-be Lynchers of John Pratt, Who Grabbed Purse NEGROES ASSIST SHERIFF Four Members of Race on Special Grand Jury—Newspapers Compliment Sheriff Neils—Instructions by Judge Butler. Special to The New York Age. Cairo, Ill. Feb. 23—Sheriff Nellis and Gov Deneen are the heroes of Illinois. The former is being praised by all citizens opposed to mob law for his prompt action in preventing another lynching in Cairo, and Gov Deneen is having many nice things said about him, due to the prompt manner in which he sent the militia to the scene of the trouble to preserve peace. The attempt of a crowd of ruffians to hatch John Pratt, accused of snatching a pocketbook containing $1 from Mrs Rose Maloney, has once more brought Cairo prominently before the public. It was last December that William James, colored, and Henry Salzner, white, were lynched because the sheriff did not protect them from the mob's fury. The Negroes of Illinois demanded that Sheriff Davis be removed from office, and after investigating the lynchings, Gov Deneen promptly removed him Davis was succeeded by Sheriff Fred D Nellis, who has demonstrated that an officer of the law can protect a prisoner if the desires. The Grand Jury is investigating the attack on the jail by the mob, and Judge Judy Burke instructed instructions that the be brought to justice and made to hold trial for rioting. In instructing the jury, Judge Butler said: This sort of procedure must be stopped. There have been five murders in Calro since November 11, when we had a previous occurrence. The murders show that mob-law is not deterrent to crime, and it is your duty to see that mob ceases to be. Some all feeling exists here because some of the deputies who assisted Sheriff Nellis in saving Pratt from the mob were Negroes. Of the twelve assistants eight of the deputies were colored Sheriff Nellis claims that he found it necessary to swear them in because the white citizens would not act. The situation has become more complicated as there are four Negroes on the special jury which is taking up a probe of the jail storming last Thursday night. Comment of Newspapers. The brave manner in which Sheriff Nellis defended his prisoner from the attack of the mob has elected much complimentary comment from the newspapers throughout the country. The New York World, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, respectively refer to the incident as follows. New York World. Cairo III needed just such a lesson as it received at the hands of Sherif Nilal and his deputies. It is not a lesson in the way it is. It is only three months since a mol torced the "Jall" and lynched two prisoners. If it had been met with all lilies there would probably have no cause for bloodshed yesterday. Washington Post. Sharif Nellie, of Calro, Ill., is a type of peace officer all too uncommon. Perhaps it would be harder the mark to set him down as exceptional rather than typical counselor positions. His position requires a small back, but when called on to resist a mob of fellow townmen and neighbors—constitutions all—only the possession of moral courage to a degree that enables a man to do his duty to the risk of public execution, political loss and financial loss prevents him from doing less than he in his power. The Catro mob, in the light of previous occurrences in that lawless community, entertained but small doubt of Sheriff Nellis throwing up his hands and permitting his prisoner to be lynched before his eyes. No heed, therefore, but Sheriff Nellis warned word. But Sheriff Nellis good. The first volley from the jail brought down the ringleaders and several others. It was a bloody repulse one from which the mob spirit is not likely to rebound for many days. Sheriff Nellis has performed a signal service not only for the people of his immediate country, but the country at large. The more substantial his reward the deeper the sense of grief that will be evinced far in wide. New York Times What it can be done by a Sheriff with a resulting sense of official duty and the obligations of his duty, is illustrated at Calro, III. There is another lynching attempt to lynch a Nogro. It is not that another lynching party in Calro encountered only a attacked of resistance when it attacked the same Jail, took from it two prisoners, and Sheriff Sheriff Nogro did not pretend to ax- THE NEW J. stist, nor did he decide that resistance was useless. Instead, he resisted. After warning the mob that his deputies would fire on them if they attempted to invade the jail, he carried out his announced purpose as soon as the attempt was made. As a result one rioter was killed and another was singled out, after one had been fired into the air, proved enough to cool the zeal of the attacking party. It is an unfortunate circumstance that eight of the twelve deputies who won this little battle Negroes. That fact will add bitterness to the episode and distract attention from its one important feature, which is the evidence it gives that any Sheriff who really tries to defend his prisoners can do so. The usual course, unfortunately, is to the Sheriff's field, a force which he calls overprolving, to let the mob work its will, and then to bring a few militiamen on the scene for no other reason, apparently, than to see to it that the selected victim is not killed again. Talro, thanks to Sheriff Nellis, can now consider itself freed from its deep disgrace and entitled to number itself again among civilized cities. It owes little gratitude, seemingly, to its Mayor, and none to its police, for neither found it convenient to render the timely aid to the Sheriff that would have made it unnecessary for him to shoot anybody.

HONOR WHITE NEIGHBOR Negroes of Mississippi present John Clark of Clarksdale, Miss., with Gold Watch and Pen. Special to The New York Age. Clarksdale, Miss. Feb 21—On February 7, John Clark, of Clarksdale, Miss., was honored by his many colored friends and admirers in his section of the State, who presented him with a handsome gold watch and a gold fountain pen as a token of their high esteem for him and his illustrous ancestors whose genuine friendship they revere and have no reason to doubt. In his letter of acceptance of the token Mr. Clark stated that he is now past the half century mark and that his doors have never been locked nor barred from the fear of the intrusion of his Negro friends and neighbors in the blackest belt of America, where he has lived all his life. He further stated that when the truth shall be written a similar testimony will be given by those in his section of the county who really know the Negro and who have been true to their own traditions. Mr. Clark advises his colored friends to counsel only with the right sort of white folks, who will not only accord them their rights before the laws, but will continue to tax themselves for the Negro's advancement along healthy lines Mr Clark's letter was replied to on behalf of the Negroes by Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss, who stated that the tenor and general sentiment of Mr Clark's letter is only another indication of the innate greatness of his lamented and departed sire and helpmate.

NEGRO MASONS KEEP WHITE LODGES APART Grand Lodges of New Jersey and Mississippi Still at Outs UNABLE TO GET TOGETHER Mississippi Masons Continue to Draw Color Line—Grand Lodge of New Jersey Indifferent Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Columbus, Mass., Feb. 22—At a meeting of the Mississippi Grand Lodge, held last week, an attempt to enact legislation affiliating the Masonic Grand Lodges of Mississippi and New Jersey was defeated, it being held by the Southern body that as long as New Jersey recognizes the colored lodge in Newark affiliation is impossible The Masons of New Jersey and Mississippi severed relations about a year ago because of the policy adhered to by the New Jersey Grand Lodge in recognizing Negro Masons. The question of affiliation was brought up at the meeting of the Mississippi Grand Lodge last week without the request of the New Jersey Grand Lodge Alpha Lodge, No. 166, of Newark, N. J., has brought about strained relations between the two Grand Lodges. Up to this time the Grand Lodge of New Jersey has shown an inclination to stand by Alpha Lodge, despite the radical attitude assumed by the Grand Lodge of Mississippi. Among the well-known Negroes who are members of Alpha Lodge are James M. Miller, Louis A. Sears, Henry J Mars and Edward G. Lynch, the late Prof J M Baxter, of Newark, was also a member. The Masons of New Jersey do not seem to be a bit perturbed over the recent action of the Mississippi Grand Lodge, concluding about a year ago that the incident was closed, as the Grand Lodge of New Jersey does not intend to deny the Negroes full recognition as Masons. When the Grand Lodge of Mississippi caused the grand question a year ago the Grand Master gave out the following statement: "In this matter I have done what I thought to be for the best interest of the fraternity I weighed the conditions and sought the advice of our most conservative and best advised brethren. They almost to a man advised me to pursue the course I have. In my opinion it is the only alternative. The Negro in our land is unit to assume the responsibility and obligations of Masonry. It is an open secret that virtue and morality, which are indispensable qualifications to membership, are foreign to the race. "I felt it my duty as Grand Master of the Mississippi Grand Lodge to cut loose from any who would dare open the door of Masonry to a people whose standing for virtue and morality is a mockery to civilization" New Bank to Open in Montgomery.

RACE PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH President Taft Says in Prosperity of That Section of the Country Lies the Solution of the Nine Problems. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Washington D. C. Feb. 21.—In the prosperity of the Southlies the solution of the race problem in the opinion of President Taft, who spoke last Friday in a conference of educators and philanthropically disposed men and women of Washington, on industrial education in the South at the residence of Miss Mabel T. Boardman. "There are two things working toward the solution of the Negro problem," said the President. "One is the development of interest among the better class of Southerners in the education of the Negro and consciousness of the fact that nothing will so much help the South as such education. The other improvement feature is the increase of the wealth of the South. "The South until the last decade had a dreadfully hard time to support the government of her States without education, but now the South is getting richer. I am delighted to have 15-county whether it be high or not, because it means prosperity of the South, the development of her educational system and the working out of the most difficult problem ever presented to a people." Thomas Nelson Page presided at the conference Among the other speakers were James H. Dillard of New Orleans, President of the Jeanes Fund, W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway, and Dr H. B Frissell, president of Hampton Institute. James H. Dillard in his address declared that the white people must blame themselves for conditions prevailing in the South, and described a natural segregation of the races that developing with the development of industrial education Industrial education he urged for the benefit of the Negro and the poor white people as well. "The first thing we can do," he said, "for the Negro's good is to refrain from ill feeling and to be willing that the race should be hopeful of progress and improvement. Some words should have the attitude of good will and not the attitude of ill will. "The second thing we can do is to assist in the education of the Negro and by education I mean a real education, and education for living, an education that leads to the knowledge of how to do things better and how to live better."

IDEA MEETS WITH FAVOR Prominent Jews Interviewed in Chicago and All Agree that Race Should Not Be Classed by Religion. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 23.—Prof. Willard E Hotchkiss, supervisor of the National Census in Chicago, has announced that in the taking of the census for 1910 the 3,000,000 Jews in the United States are to be suddenly robbed of their identity and will be put down on the books as American, German, French, Russian, Roumanian, etc—whatever the country of their birth might have been. Learning that such a radical change is being punned by the supervisor of the census, the Chicago Record-Herald interviewed a number of prominent Jews to assert their views on the subject. In almost every instance it was found that the contemplated plan met with favor. One of those questioned was Dr. Emil G Hirsch, rabbi of Sanai Temple. "It is the right thing to do," said Dr. Hirsch, "and is what we have been contending for all the time. I have no complaint to make on the new arrangement whatever. "There is no Jewish nation, and dropping the word 'Jew' is just what we wanted. I prefer to be called an American, and why not? Am I not an American? --- "We feel that the United States classification, to a certain extent in the case of the Jews, catalogues facts and factors foreign to the interest, of technology. There is no such thing his so that New German religion. There is, however, a Jewish religion. Politically I am an American, but religiously I am a Jew." Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple was heartily in accord with a plan which classed the Hebrew people not as a separate nationality, but as of the country in which they were born. "I think it is the right thing to do," he said. "There was a protest made against the system of recording immigrants as Jews, and I am glad that the use of the religious distinction is discontinued. "Among the immigrants it is not fair to classify the Jew by his religion, unless the same is done with all other races. That is one reason why the protest was made." Extinction Not Feared. Attorney Leon Zolotkoff does not fear the eradication of the name and race, nationality, or religion of Jews in its entirety, through the new system and what it may lead to, but while he believes the same attitude should be assumed by this government toward the Jewish race as it does toward the Irish, Slavonic or any other, he believes that the Jewish type will preserve itself through the ages. "I believe that the government should designate the Jew by his political affiliation and not his religion, as the same method is adopted with other peoples. I do not think that the United States should discriminate regarding any race. "The matter is wholly a question of policy on the part of the government. If it is the desire to compile exact statistics of the various races and classes that enter into the composition of the population of this country it would be proper to go into all the details. "No, I do not think that the idea means the complete extinction of the Jewish people as a distinct race. They are now in the process of dissolution, with the exception of the stronger types, which will continue. These are not in the majority, but they are cultivating the language - not the Yiddish, but the classic Hebrew - and are rather Zionistic inclined, believing in an ultimate nation of their own and holding themselves steadfastly together. There are a good many who will differ with me in this, but it is merely my opinion." Halla New System. Henry N Hart, 8917 Grand Boulevard, expressed himself as glad to know that the habit of designating the Jewish people by their religion showed signs of falling into disuse. "When a man does something noteworthy in this country," he said, "the papers do not say that he is a Catholic, Protestant, or what his religion may be. They do, however, say that he is a German, or an Englishman, taking pains to designate his nationality. "But every time a Jew does anything that does not seem exactly right, people always call attention to his religion. A man should be known by his race, not his religion. "The danger of the Jewish name being obliterated from disuse does not make much difference, but I do not like to see the Jew referred to by his religion." In the census links the question of race is not considered," said Professor Hotchkus last night. "Three columns are provided. In the first one will be written the place of the birth of the [Continued on Page 5.] --- Nappis, Firebrand Negro Hater, decide in Fight for Senate. To the New York Ack. Jackson, Miss.

Woburn, Mass, Feb. 3—Though the weather man was not very favorable to the Woburn Associates last Friday, they were favored with a large and appreciative audience to listen to the splendid leader of New England Negroes, District Attorney Wm. H Lewis. A very interesting program was rendered in addition, which was as follows: Invocation Rev J H Dennis, introductory remarks, President Robt C Wilson, poem, "Lincoln," Miss Melissa Burton solo, "Gates of Paradise," Miss Edith Ellis of West Medford Emancipation Day, Luther Yancey of Stoneham, address, "Lincoln," Hon William H Lewis solo, Miss Anne Pope of Boston. The audience was held spellbound by the great oration of a great orator. The address of the Hon Mr Lewis was not only instructive and historical, but humful of humor. In speaking of emancipation, Mr. Lewis said that the time will come when we, as a race will have forgotten that we have ever been slaves, just as the other nations forget to day. He also praised the diplomacy of Hon Booker Washington and the manner in which he is helping the solution of the race problem Congregation Gets Picture of Hulutto Freed Girl. A memory of long ago was revived in Plymouth Church a few mornings ago when Gen Horatio C King presented to the church a photographic painting, "Pink," the original of which reproduction of Eastman Johnson's was Sally Maria Driggs, a beautiful mulatto slave girl sold into freedom the pupit of Plymouth Church fifty years ago. With which the church also received the original bill of sale and freedom papers of the little slave girl The fact that "Pink" was to be taken from her grandmother and exposed for sale in the slave market came to the ears of the Rev Mr Blake, of Philadelphia, then a member of Plymouth Church and a student near Washington, D. C. This was in 1880. Touched by the child's plight, Mr Blake appealed to the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, asking him if there were no means of saving the girl Beecher directed the child be sent on to Plymouth Church and there, on February 5, 1880, put for sale in the pulpit and "bid in" by the congregation. Rings, jewelry and even a gold watch, besides bills of large denominations, were found in the wonderful harvest reaped by the collection baskets. "Pink" was then delivered over to the care of one of the women of Plymouth Church.

Tuesday, February 22, was the birthday of George Washington, the father of our common country. This was not so when America freed herself from the yoke of English tyranny. At that date the African slave trade was still legalized and the father of his country owned many human beings. This was not our common country fifty years ago at the outbreak of the Civil War. Four millions of Negroes were then held in subjection in this land of the free and the home of the brave. But to-day there are more than ten millions of American citizens of African extraction in this country sharing in varying degrees its free institutions and enjoying in varying measures its bounty and prosperity The President of this nation has declared time and again: "They are American citizens just the same as I am." This is our common country to-day in spirit and in truth. The American people are accepting this fact more generally and more fully year by year. North, South, East and West are becoming ingrained with the sense that their black citizens will become diffused and assimilated for all practical purposes among the general population. As the years roll by the memory of the black man's former inferior position is fading away. He is helping to dispel the bitter memories of slavery days through his worth and valor. The Negro has always been patriotic and loyal to the Stars and Stripes. At this time when all America venerates the Great Virginian as the foremost of American patriots, the Negro, too, hails George Washington as The Father of our common country. CAIRO CAN'T REPEAT. Sheriff Fred. D. Nellis, of Cairo, Ill., deserves the thanks of every lover of law and order throughout the country for his brave and successful defense last week of his Negro prisoners. Through his heroic and determined stand along with a band of twenty-two deputes, the hoodlums of Cairo, many hundreds strong, were prevented from repeating their bloody orgy of November. The killing of a son of a former mayor by the sheriff's deputies is regrettable only in that the lynchers numbered among themselves so prominent a citizen. But the death of young Halliday and the wounding of four members of the mob will serve as a most effective object lesson in the future to the law defers of Southern Illinois. Nor should the work of the deputies pass unnoticed. The fact that only sixteen white men could be sworn in by the sheriff makes of each of them a patriotic citizen who loved not his fellow citizen less but his city more. The six Negro deputies who stood by their gums and the law and whose nerve failed them not neither at the call to duty nor at the order to fire, prove that there are good and courageous Negroes in Cairo as everywhere else. Finally, no word of praise is too great for Governor Deneen, of Illinois, for his masterly conduct both at this time and during the riot last fall. Had not the weak and timid Sheriff Davis been removed there would have been no Sheriff Nellis to uphold the majesty of the law. Neither would the sheriff of Johnson County, Illinois, in January have kept his oath, and sworn in deputies and furnished them Winchester and ordered them to shoot to kill if the assembling mob of "best citizens" stormed the jail as they threatened. Governor Deneen need not discharge many more sheriffs, neither need Sheriff Nellis kill many more rioting citizens before all Illinois will have a keen and ever-present respect for the law and the courts. Far better than any jury trial, far more effective than denunciation, in the final analysis the only and sure way of stamping out mob law will be the upholding of the law by its officers and guardians. Governor Deneen and Sheriff Nellia in squitching the Cairo lynching fiends have rendered their State a great ser- --- EVANGELIZE THE WORLD. The Laymen's Missionary Committee, a non-sectarian organization of Christian workers, has started its mammoth movement of evangelizing the world before the year 2000. The great mission of the committee is to carry the Gospel before that date to the heathen sitting in darkness in the uttermost corners of the globe and more specifically Asia and Africa. The appeal is also being made to Negro churchmen. Last Monday evening the splendid leaders of this movement and the Y. M. C. A. at St. Mark's Church made ringing appeals to their Negro auditors to help financially and morally the promotion of their stupendous project Doubting the necessity and the wisdom of the American Negro attempting to elevate such Asatie pagans as the Japanese and such African pagans as the Abyssinians, nevertheless we subscribed our support then, we subscribe now to the movement The scheme is great. It is more than that, it is grand and noble. We wished, however, that the movement were a little less ambitious, that it planned an evangelization intensive rather extensive. We suspect that the natives of Asa and Africa to whom Europe and America have carried the Gospel of the Christ at the point of the bayonet, the East Indians, the Congoese and the Philippinos, for example, think that that Gospel as it is now dispensed partakes very largely of the nature of a, sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. The American and the Belgian brands of the brotherhood of man seem to them synonyms for a holier-than-thou colorphoba and a commercial exploitation. We therefore put in our petition that America begin to evangelize the world by evangelizing America America needs more grace and power from on high first of all to save herself completely from torment Nothing need be said of the heathen hoodlums of lynchers and night-riders and other degenerates who, blacked and unblacked, commit dastardly outrages upon white and colored women in the Southland American need not here be reminded of her millions of immigrants coming every year who are to be evangelized and assimilated. But there are millions and millions of pure Americans, both black and white, to-day in the Southland both churchless and schoolless. Before Christian America can see clearly to pluck the mote out of her brothers' eye, she must rid herself of her un-Christian prejudice and the practical heathen within her own midst. America must do home missionary work. A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK Kermit Roosevelt has more than justified the wisdom of his father, ex-President Roosevelt, in choosing him as a companion on the great African hunting expedition. He has figured in all the press dispatches as a close second for his daring and success to Bwhana Tumbo himself and at some points of the game he has surpassed the mighty hunter, though these facts have been suppressed at the request of a farsighted parent. But the brave exploit of Kermit reported from Gondokoro, Sudan, Africa, on February 18, reveals to the world the sterling qualities of this young scion of the Roosevelt family. The counterpart of many stories of adventure told on the strenuous executive, the report reads The Roosevelt boat was proceeding along the river when a loud cry was heard and then a dugo cry was heard. The river was full of crocodiles, numbers of which were swimming along the surface or banking on the bank. The river was swim, and while he was struggling in the water the natives with boats along the bank paid no attention. As the drowning man rose for the third time Kermit threw off his coat and plunged into the water. He was rescued and again. Then Mr Loring leaped after Kermit, who insisted upon remaining in the water and diving into the body. Neither suffered any harm. No wonder is it that the son has endeared himself to the expedition and to all the natives among whom it has sojourned. Absolutely fearless, cool, a deadly markman, keeping ever in the van, tireless, persistent, humane and heroic, he is verily a chip of the old block. Nor is this the first time when the younger Roosevelt has exhibited those splendid qualities which have made his father powerful and popular. During his school and college career he displayed a democracy and naturalness that gave him first place among his fellow students without regard to race or creed. His fellowship was infectious by reason of his force of character, his strength and honesty of endeavor. Kermit Roosevelt in his heroic effort to help the helpless and humble African only followed in his father's footsteps. He is a worthy son of that dynamic American statesman whom all America anxiously awaits to complete his task of making truly democratic his native land. Within the last twelve months the colored people of Alabama have opened up four additional banks. Another bank has been opened in Birmingham, one in Mobile, one in Selma and one opens its doors in Montgomery on March 1. It is expected that at least ten thousand dollars will be deposited in the Montgomery institution on the opening day. This is an excellent evidence of the thrift and progress of Alabama Negroes. It is an eloquent tribute to the industry and potent influence of the "Father of Negro Bankers," W. R. Pettiford, founder and president of the Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, Long and earnestly he has plead with Negroes throughout the Southland to save and combine their moneys. Many of the fifty banks reported in the country at the first of the year were established through his initiative. Two of the new Alabama banks, those at Selma and Montgomery, have come almost directly as offsprings of his Birmingham institution. When it is remembered further that the parent institution has an authorized capital stock of $100,000, nearly 10,000 depositors, has built more than 1,500 homes for those depositors, and has a weekly business growth of more than $10,000, the thrift of Alabama and Mr. Pettiford's influence are seen in a nutshell. What Alabama Negroes are doing, what Mississippi and Virginia Negroes are doing, New York Negroes can and must do or confess themselves inferior in thrift Banks in the modern world of affairs are the ear-marks of civilization and advancement New York City with its hundred thousand Negroes, most of whom are congregated in districts, could easily maintain a thriving banking institution. The Hebrews, the Ialians and the even few hundred Japanese in this city have banks Why not the Negroes? Here is an opportunity and a duty for thrifty and capable business men No individual and no race can be long obscured in this country, who will lay firm hold on its pillars of finance. The Negroes of the country are proud of their brethren in Alabama They should generally follow in the pathway they are blazing out --- YOU'RE ANOTHER. The South chuckles in unholly glee on the occasion of every mob out break in a Northern State. The degree of her satisfaction varies all the way from "you're another" to that of open justification. Perhaps the most ludicrous defense of the South's treatment of the Negro ever made anywhere and casting a sanctimonious halo around dear old Dixie, the New Orleans Picayune says: The Negroes are well treated in the South and they enjoy every civil and political right for which they are fit conditioned on their good behavior and education to war. There is no such thing as a race war in the South, because no attack is made upon those Negroes who are orderly and lawabiding, who are courageous and anger and indignation of the whites is directed only to those who commit crimes, or who harbor and conceal the criminals. The great difference between Negroes is fully recognized, and the well-behaved and orderly Negroes are entirely safe from interference at any time. The greater humor this editorial provokes when the author appears to be serious in his attempt to berate the North for her injustice The Memphis Commercial Appeal, wallowing in the slough of her despond over Tennessee troubles, says. That is the deplorable state of things. Where, in the South? No. in Cairo, Ic, where the newspapers cry out lustily against "Southern barbarians" toward the Negro Am, and men. Meanwhile the South, dead to its danger, plods its weary way along in the disturbed industry and an outlawry and backward citizenry. Where is the southern governor or statesman who will take the situation in hand as has the governor of Illinois? It is only in point to say that of the nearly one hundred Negro lynchings in the United States last year but one took place in the North, and that was in Cairo, Illinois. It is further in point to say that Cario is in the extreme southern part of Illinois. In reality in its population and location more southern than northern. While the South is chuckling to the North "You're another," she is fooling nobody but herself EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. A bad stink at the Albany bribery investigation. Don't breathe.

Those Cairo people are pretty sore no doubt about those Negro deputies doing their duty. But as there wasn't anything else for the deputies to do, and as there isn't anything else for them to do, they'll probably get over it. President Taft's New York Lincoln Day speech disgusted the patrons but pleased the peepal, slumped the stock market but tickled with the campanners Which goes to show you can't please all the people all the time. It has been said that there will be a meeting of extremes when Roosevelt comes face to face with the Sphinx of Egypt.

Such talks made by important and prominent people of the country are bound to arouse public interest in the great good will be realized in a great way. More attention ought to be given to the actual conditions of the great country of people, the spirit and promise of people of both races any way. For a people compiling one-eighth of the population of this great country of possibilities can be greatly improved by the commonwealth will be the ultimate result. Our general ideas of society can be great improved by the commonwealth will be the true independence that can be derived from constant industrial effort, the willingness to do to the best of our ability to secure the practical economy, the effort to secure homes, however small, placing a high premium on the holy bonds of the people, the conditions of life within reach of us all, should be constantly preached by our ministers and all public leaders. Mrs. Angela Dixon Right; In the bulletin issue of February 3 there appeared in the columns of your paper a communication from Mrs. Angela C. Dixon, of Brooklyn, protesting against the raising of money for a memorial for her late husband Rev. William Dixon, of dances, card games and theatrical dramas. I praise Mrs. Dixon for the stand she has taken in this matter, for she has been a great supporter of all churches in the future, and as she referred to her late husband's doctrine—"he is dead but liveth."

The Columbia (S. C.) Light --- There have been no crimes committed in the State in twenty-five years more revolting and that called for more arrests than the above-named crimes, and if the perpetrators had been Negroes their bodies would have been amoulded, but they would have been riddled with bullets unless the people in those parts have turned over a new leaf and promised to be good, but we have not done so. It was mitied by Negroes on whites, it would have forced them to break their vows. The press has been cool and mild in its defence to these cases, but judging from the crimes committed some of the papers would have painted these crimes in such flaming, heinous colors that the powers could have been taken away. In case the culprits were captured and committed to jail without hindrance, which was as it should have been. Now the police have been lynched if they had been Negroes—and everybody believes they would have been—then it would show that they were Negroes and not for the crime.

I am the Brookhaven (Miss.) People's Relief TOO MUCH MOB LAW Evening Mall Points Out Impending Danger to America. Helpless humanity has been trying for thousands of years to correct injustice with more injustice—to cure evils that have been successful. The success has seldom been successful, though it would be untrue to say that it has never been successful. "God moves in a terrible way. His wonders to perform. Ever since 1774, when the people of Boston rose in their wrath and attacked British authority in their streets and their harbor, American sentiment has been more or less tender toward mobs. But the foundations of American liberty; but incidentally, they laid the foundations also of much evil and public disarray, which uncleasely in every generation since. Law has lately been deified in a conspicuous and startling manner in two States of the Union, Illinois and Pennsylvania. The mobs who sincerely believe that they have been did. At Calro, in the former State, mobs have demanded the blood of innocent Negroes because one Negro had snatched a purse. The sheriff of the county actually performed his duty and defended it as he did, the aid of special deputies sworn in for the purpose, and now he is being denounced from the pulpit, because among those deputies four black men were included. The evil and danger, and the echo of older evil, in the position of the disorderly crowds of Calro. In Philadelphia mobs of men and women have been wrecking and burning street cars, stoning the police and causing a riot because of a strike of street car employees. On the side of the Philadelphia strikers there is much to be said. The corrupt alliance of the traction industry has allowed politicians has permitted outrages upon the rights of the whole public, as well as upon the rights of employees, and these outrages have infuriated the people, breaking those unfortunate Heaslons of economic despotism, who are sent hither and thither at every call—has justly incensed the strikers themselves. A material for popular rage in Philadelphia. But if the aggrieved workmen and their sympathizers were looking for a sure way to defeat their own purposes, they could begin shooting and burning on the public streets. Their appeal to violence has been seen in policeologues. Mob destruction can be taught to the public in a community Suppression of disorder will be sure and severe. And when the disorder is over, the strikers will probably cause their cause has been hopelessly lost. There is abroad in the land now a disposition to correct the hardships and injustices of the law by selfish influences. The reform will not come all at once, but it will come. Mob violence serves only to undermine the deliverance. Evil will not reform evil. CHICAGO POST'S PRAISE No One Better Able to Tell Nore Story Than Washington. That no one is better able than Mr. Booker T. Washington to tell the story of the Negro is a truism which can need not dwell in the face of his services, temper of mind and pretense writings. Rather should one emphasize the need of the average citizen for aruate information on the subject. Best prejudice is still a thrifty plant on American soil, and it is all too common to dismiss the Negro with a few generalities which leave him tables with criminality and brutality on, a best, with the milder offences of larciness and inefficiency. In this work Mr. Washington tells the story of his race and incidental refutes all such charges. One may view it either as an impersonal rendering of his own story as told in "Up From Slavery," which he says was an epitome of the history of the race, or may view it as a personal rendering of Mr. Washington's own observation and experience supplements his use of tradition and book lore. The new work is written in the plain, simple style of "Up From Slavery," and is interspersed with amusing, often touching, but always pertinent anecdotes of his hope and optimism for his race, and a touch of the race proverbial lightenedness in his conception of its history as the "story of a great adventure, in which, for me part, I am glad to have share," that is nothing sentimental nor prejudice in his outlook. His generalisation show sound good sense, rising into high idealism. That he develops upon the failures and faults, but up the achievements and success of his race, is due to his conviction that "these things are more interesting and more important" and serve better illumine the constructive work of the Negro. The story falls into three division: The Negro in Africa, The Negro as Slave and The Negro as a Freeborn of Washington confesses that his African ancestry was an erroneous one, from a geography containing "the picture of George Washington placed side by side with a native African having a dagger in his hand." Mr. Washington tells a different story. Even on the "Dark Continent" the Negro show himself adaptable and ambitious, depriving education, willing enough to exchange education, willing enough to new customs and modern machinery. The second division gives a full and complete account of slavery from the landing of the first vessels bearing the 1819 ship of the fight of their descendants for freedom. The author sees in slavery much be sides hardship, cruelty and oppression much that was tender, human and cruel. That which contributed the advance of the slave is it the right to enjoy the civilization of this country. In the discussion of the Negro as Freeman, one enjoys the re-creation of Washington's travel and observation. In the statement of the work of the race in fields ranging from ditch digging to the production of art, music and poetry he be both surprising and clarifying. He will see the Negro actually assisting his freedom. -The Chicago Evening Post. MEMORIAL TO PASTOR DIXON. Chas. S. Morris Takes Issue Against Dance Hall Project.

For instance, if Mrs. O'Brien, whose maiden name was Murphy, descended from the McGinty of Cork, happened to be in Rome when her son was born, he would be down on our census books as an Italian, for was he not born in Italy: "When the law was formulated in Congress the question was raised as to whether the nativity should be interpreted to be the country or nation in which a person was born," said Professor Hotchkiss, "or the race to which the person belonged.

Feb. 13—The anniversary celebration of the birth of Lincoln and Douglas, and the birth of M. Zinn. M. Zinn will birth last Sunday, under the auspices of the Union Literary Society. A chorus of fifty voices enthused the large audience with its rendition of the national airs and patriotic songs. Samuel Barrett, editor of the Trenton Call, spoke interestingly on the life of Lincoln. Hon T Thomas Fortune spoke on the life of Douglass. Mr. Fortune's address was particularly interesting and instructive because of his occult knowledge of his subject. He knew the great Douglas intimately and uncompromising attitude on the race question that was read for twenty years in the weekly editorials of THE NEW YORK ACE. Acting on the suggestion of The Ace in last week's issue, relative to the raising of a fund to help in cancelling the debt on the "Douglass Home" in Washington, the society took a contribution to be sent for that purpose. Peter R Lee, who comes to this city from Orange, where he did an effective work as General Secretary of the Y M C A, is the central figure and president of the society. He directed the Document Clerk, has removed his family here and is becoming useful as a worker for his race in the city. The Frenton Call is a paper issued weekly in the interest of the Afro-Americans of this State Samuel Barrett, the editor, is a graduate of Lincoln University. Two small Baptist Churches, the Union and Mt Calvary, have united and now constitute one good church. The membership is being complimented by all thoughtful people for the wise, common sense step. Wm Langford, pastor of St Pauls A M E. Zion Church, is advising the business men here to establish a bank in this city.

ON Saturday evening, March 5, the Mr Lode of Koal Company will close for the theatrical season of 1909-10. Of course, the announcement that the production will be taken off the boards early in March will furnish food for gossip, prophets will now loom up on every hand, and each will lay claim to being the only sure enough original of the "I-told-you-so" class, reason after reason will be advanced as the real and primary cause of the show's premature closing. The envious ones will not forget to display their pleasure and the loyal admirers their displeasure. Yet, after all, the incident is not to be regarded in the nature of a calamity. Some of the big attractions are slated to close in March and many more in April. Comment is so general relative to the closing because, as a rule, most of our colored theatrical organizations usually end the season some time around May. True, there is a reason, in fact, reasons for the disbanding of the Mr. Lode of Koal Company, but to hear the many whys and wherefores propounded would send many an auditor on an aerial journey—or "up in the air," so to speak That the public has not raved over Bert A. Williams' production of "Mr Lode of Koal" this season is generally known; it cannot be branded as an artistic success by any means. But when would-be wise ones shake their heads ominously, look sad and try to make one believe that a great disaster has befallen Bert Williams and his band of entertainers, those who are not conversant with the things theatrical are being wrongfully led to believe that the big comedian is in a pitiful plight. One of the principal causes for the closing of the Mr Lode of Koal Company is the failure of the management to conduct the business affairs of the company satisfactorily. Although "Mr Lode of Koal" was not a big artistic hit, the show could have remained out until April or May had it been given the proper consideration from the Shmbert booking office. The two persons mainly responsible for the early closing of the production are F. Ray Comstock and Bert Williams. Mr. Comstock is to blame for his lukewarm interest, evincing very little concern in the affairs of the company, and Mr. Williams should be censured for not making the former give him and his show the attention to which both were justly entitled. Where George Walker is Missed. It would require a long stretch of imagination to picture the Mr. Lode of Koal Company playing in second-class theatres of the Stair and Havlin Circuit with George W Walker of the famous team in the saddle. But in such houses the company has been playing for the past two weeks. Last week in Philadelphia Bert Williams was seen for the first time in many years in a second-class Stair and Havlin house—the National Theatre, and this week the booking is equally as bad—Blaney's Amphion Theatre, Brooklyn. As to booking, never has a show had such a variegated career as the Mr. Kode of Koal Company this season. Starting the first of September, it played in St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and other cities in the Middle West in Shubert theatres, which are first-class houses. Coming to New York the production opened at the Majestic Theatre, on Broadway, for a run, and since the Manhattan engagement it is doubtful if the company has played at a first class Shubert house, although Bert Williams is supposed to be appearing under the direction of the Shuberts—if not directly, indirectly. F. Ray Comstock is personally a very affable young man and stands high in the estimation of the Shuberts. However, it is impossible to sing his praises relative to the treatment he has accorded the Mr. Lode of Koal Company and its star. With a display of aggressiveness on his part, his colored comedian would now be playing in first-class theatres, for there are a number of Shubert attractions on the road much saddder than "Mr. Lode of Koal". Surely he could have prevented the organization from going to thecheapest priced theatres of the Stair and Havlin Circuit. In business people do not always do what is desired of them unless you make it compulsory, and here is where Bert Williams failed to prove himself master of the situation. He should have compelled Mr. Comstock to live up to his contract and keep him in first-class theatres. It is probable that when "Mr. Lode of Koal" did not come up to expectations, Manager Comstock grew indifferent, but he should have nursed the star and show and made improvements as he did in the "Beauty Spot." Possibly Mr. Comstock does not regard Bert Williams as valuable an acquisition as does the dramatic editor of THE AGE. It may be that the young manager will wake up and realize what a strong attraction the comedian is after some other Broadway manager has starred him in a big production with great success. While "Mr. Lode of Koal" has not turned out to be one of the best box of face attractions of the year, yet one thing has been clearly demonstrated—that Bert Williams is fully capable of carrying a show alone. His appearance in a musical comedy as a single star has also convinced many that he misses his LESTER A. WALTON J Ed Green, acct, playwright and producer, died last Saturday in Chicago after a lingering illness. He was buried Wednesday at Albany, Ind. A large number of friends attended the interment. Although the deceased had been in ill health for about three months, his death came as a big surprise to his many friends, as the report had been circulated that he was convalescent. He was preparing to accompany S. H Dudley of His Honor, the Barber Company, to Indianapolis, and during the remainder of the season travel with the company for his health, when death put an end to all arrangements. Mr Green was seen on the streets of Chicago Friday, and as late as Friday night talked with friends and appeared in good spirits. He died Saturday morning at the residence of Mrs. A. W Baker, 3213 Wabash avenue, where he had made his home and from where funeral services were held. The end came peacefully. A few weeks ago he professed religion while a patient at the Provident Hospital Ed Green, like his friend, the late Ernest Hogan, rose to prominence in the theatrical world by hard work. He THE NEW YORKER THE NEW YORK TIMES THE NEW YORK TIMES THE LATE J. ED. GREEN was born in Albany, Ind, thirty-seven years ago, where he attended the public schools and completed a high school education. When he tumbled school he organized a quartet composed of himself and three of his fellow townmen—Ld Hood, Ike M. Smith and Ed La Force. It was called the Diamond Quartet, and so attracted the attention of Whalen and Martell, owners of the South Before the War Company, that they engaged the singers for their show. This gave J Ed Green an opportunity to realize a cherished ambition, and before the season ended he had been given the role of "Young Fph," which he played credibly. The youthful actor next joined the Oliver Scott Company and won success as stage manager and interlocutor, so much so that the management of the George Minstrels secured him as interlocutor and later made him stage man- The following season Mr Green produced the King and Bush Minstrels, and later joined the Black Patti Troubadours serving in the capacity of stage manager and being featured as the Bruce Chesterfield, by which sobriquette was known by his friends. Together with Bob A Kelley, Mr Green wrote and produced the 'Queen of the Jungles' featuring Mine Flowers and Mie Gollam. Next he was seen with the Smart Set Company, and created the character of Kane in which role he served the bit of his career as a character actor. It was with the first season of the Rufus Rastis Company, with which show the late Ernest Hogan displayed his true form as a star, that the deceased staged the production and played the role of "Beasley," the head wafter. The staging of "Rufus Rastus" especially the minstrel first part in the first act was generally praised by critics. At the end of the season's success of "Rufus Rastus" Mr Green went to Chicago to stage a white burlesque show, and was engaged by Robert I. Motts as amusement director for the Pekin Stock Company. To change the place to a popular family theatre was no small undertaking but through his efforts the Pekin Theatre soon became one of the theatrical novelties of America and an inspiration to the colored performer. To his foresight and judgment we are indebted to such actors and actresses as Harrison Stewart, Matt Marshall, Shelldon Brooks, J I Mores, Lottie Grady, Leona Marshall Mae White, Pearl Brown, Ada Banks, Nettie Lewis, Jenny Ringgold and others, and such writers and promoters as Marion A Brooks and Will Foster. It was he who discovered the young playwrights Miller and Lyles, who are now in vaudeville. With the advent of the moving picture theatres, Chicago, which brought about a change in the policy of the Pekin Theatre, Mr Green and Marion A Brooks organized the Chester EDITED BY old partner—George Walker—more for the business than the artistic end the business Any and all talk about Bert Williams' star becoming dimmed, owing to the early closing of the Mr Lode of Koal Company is nonsensical Ranking as one of the leading comedians of to-day, possessing youth and a large following all that is necessary for him to gain additional success and fame in his pro- fession is a proper vehicle in which he can display his ability as a comedian and the exercise of sure enough busi- ness tact And this he must certainly do in the future!

When the Black Patti Company recently visited a Academy in Wilmington, NC C Jolly John Wilmington, the hour Wilmington is in his home town and he spent half a day with old friends at the Academy. When he attempted to steal his way into the gallery of the Academy and fell into a tank and was forced to call for help, the team was able to retrieve the foll from the winding stairway of the tree, and died from the injuries sustained. During his visit the comedian was visited by his aunt, whom he had not seen in years, and news of the death of his loving mother. That night he probed himself "tiny blue and a man of fortitude combined with great will power. One who witnessed the comedy went hand in hand throughout the performance. While singing, That Wont In, for Mothera Chile. In the Jungle in a twinkling of an eye a broad smile flashed over his face. His support was watching every movement of the comedy.

While the Smart Set Company was playing in St Louis, Mo S H Dudley and the members of the organization were entertained by the Missouri Eureka Republican Club, 2209 Chestnut street The company was presented with a large novelty bouquet by the club Charles Turpin acted as toastmaster. The Harper Confect Company gave its annual concert in New Rochelle, N.Y., last Thursday evening for the benefit of St Catherine's A M E. Zion Church. Despite the inclement weather the attendance was large. The Harpers were at their best and were forced to respond to several queries. Over five hundred guests attended the entertainment furnished by colored performers at the Royal Palm Hotel Miami, Biscayne Bay, Fla., last Friday evening. The Barrel House Four were well received, and Arthur Forward's singing of "Beautiful eyes" was of high order. The cake walk, under the management of Iom Stevens, was participated in by Dave Young, Charlie Nathan, Percy Wright, Nat Morris and Will Thornton. The contest narrowed down to Will Thornton and his partner and Nat Morris and his partner, and the two couples were compelled to walk over again before a decision was reached, Nat Morris and partner winning. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A. WALTON Royal Giants and Leland Giants Playing Great Ball in Florida. Down in Palm Beach, Fla., the Royal Giants of New York City, colored champions of the world, and the Leland Giants, the crack colored team of Chicago, are having a merry time of it fighting for supremacy. Both teams are playing in the Hotel League, the Royal Giants playing under the name of the Breakers, and the Leland Giants being known as the Royal Ponteana team. Since the opening of the Hotel League eight games have been played, each team winning three and playing two tie games. One tie game, lasted for twelve innings, and the other for eleven, the scores being 1, 1, and 5, respectively. The Hotel League closes for the season about March 17, and the teams will return East. With weather permitting, the first game will be played in Greater New York about March 27 Lloyd and "Home Run" Johnson May Figure in Deal. Within a few days a deal is likely to be pulled off in the Colored League in which "Home Run" Johnson of the Royal Giants and Lloyd, the crack shortstop of the Philadelphia Giants, will figure in trade. Lloyd does not care to play any longer with the Philadelphia Giants, and has been thinking of going to Chicago with the Leland Giants. Manager Connor of the Royal Giants has a high regard for Lloyd, so much that he is willing to give "Home Run" Johnson to the Philadelphia Giants for their shortstop. The announcement by Lloyd that he is willing to play on the Royal Giants is the only thing necessary to bring about the consummation of the deal Willie Keeler Quits Baseball. Willie Keeler, right fielder of the New York Americans and one of the best known players in baseball, has retired from the diamond. During his career he was regarded as one of the best batsmen the game ever saw, having a batting average of .300 for more than thirteen years. Keeler played with the Baltimore team and helped to win three championships in 1894, 1895, 1896, and later went to Brooklyn, playing with the club when it won two championships in 1899 and 1900. In 1903 he left the Brooklyn and joined the Yankees. Following is his batting average during his career with Baltimore, Brooklyn and New York. 1994, 67 1895 14 1896 302 1897 442 1898 379 179 1796 1800 366 1901, 355 1902 142 1903 418 1904, 413 1905 302 and 1906 304 ```markdown ``` Langford Wins in First Round.

Joe Gans challenges Ad Wolgast As a scout, he was known that Ad Wolgast of Milsaukee won the lightweight championship in Battling Nelson. Joe Gans who living in Battling immediately issued a challenge to Wolgast for a twenty round contest to be fought in the new chum pum wishes that for any condition he may name. Battling Nelson was detained by Ad Wolgast Tuesday night in Sea Front in a hard fought 45 round bout which went into rounds. So badly beaten up was Nelson that Regine Edward. So she stung the tight Nelson blinded and defenseless was putting up a pitiful exhibition, and throughout Wolgast showed that he was master of the situation. The challenge issued by Lee Gans to fight the new champion has consisted of his admirers asking the question: Can the Old Master Come Back? Some figure that he is as clever as ever and can whip coding Wolfgang as superior ring tactics, while others doubt if he can withstand the rushes and punches with which the sturdy little German appears to be so well supplied. Before Jack Johnson won the heavy weight championship from Burns, Jim Jeffries owned a saloon and some little properties in the West and could not have demanded $100 a week as a theatrical attraction. Just how the ex-champion has protracted financially by Johnson winning the title is shown by the following statement, given out a few days ago. James Jeffries drew shown $92,812.29 for his tour of eight three days, in which time he appeared at 101 performances. He received a salary allowance of $12,666.60 while his share of the profits amounted to $50,145.60. The gross receipts of the tour amounted to $200,172.15, of which the company's share was $145,662.29. This was the path of the statement issued yesterday by Harry Iracee, who managed the show from the time it started at Atlantic City. WANTED FOR SUMMER ENGAGEMENT AT SUMMER SALARIES . . . R.

The basketball games between the Carlton teams and the Strollers and the Junior Smart Sets were contested at Ason Hall, Tuesday afternoon before an audience of nearly three hundred enthusiastic spectators. The game between the Smart Set Juniors and the Carlton second team was rather unequal being 41 to 18 in favor of the Smart Set five. The second game was a different proposition. At the end of the first half the Y M C A firsts were leading the Jerseyites 11 to 6. In the second half the Jersey boys pulled up and tied the score and won 20 to 14. The Y M C A teams have done remarkably well this season in being able to get games with such teams as they have played, for this is their first season.

The moving picture entertainment given at the branch last week, illustrating the work of the students at Tuskegee and demonstrating the progress of the Negro churches in and around Boston, was highly enjoyed. "It was well worth it," was the apt comment of one who witnessed it. The young men of the association rendered the program at the bazaar of the Y W. C A on Tuesday evening, and otherwise enjoyed the occasion Messrs Reid, Morris, Jones, Henry, Allen and the Waters Trio composed the talent, Mr. Allen presiding. The committee of management of the Y M C A has passed the following resolution "Resolved. That we, the Committee of Management of the Colored Men's Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of New York City, have learned with sorrow and deep regret of the death of the Rev J. C. Fernanders, pastor of the Union American Methodist Episcopal Church, and a member of this association, and of its Committee of Management. So young in years, so diligent in business, so fervent in spirit, so earnest and sincere in his service of the Lord, his sudden and untimely death, were we not able to discern above all the will of Almighty God, would be regarded short of a calamity. It has rarely been the body of the young men of the branch to listen to an abler address than the one delivered last Sunday afternoon. The Rev Dr J. H. Holmes, pastor of the Church of the Messiah was the speaker and his subject was "The Social Unrest of Our Times." Next Sunday afternoon the Association will meet with the monster meeting for men which will be held at the Crescent Theatre, West 135th street, under the auspices of the Interdenominational Ministers Union.

Lay down thy head upon the Saviour's Mother loves thee, but God loves thee best you to help us put bathrooms in Scotia Seminary for the students Though the idea was suggested by Mrs K Hughes McCroery in the Alumnae meeting at the last commencement, we not only appeal to the Alumnae but to all students who have attended Scotia. We are sure all will readily see the great need and benefit of such an improvement. "To do this there will have to be an annex or the old building forming the "L" extended toward the laundry, together with putting in the fixtures, at a cost of $2,000. We wish to ask every Scotia student to help us raise this amount by the next commencement, June, 1910 "Whatever you contribute or raise can be sent to Dr W Verner, president of Scotia Seminary, Concord, N.C.

This result may be obtained by one thorough application of Ford's Hair Pomade and a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition and two to four bottles regular size are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff invigorates the scalp and keeps it from becoming itchy on children or on the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor.

Baltimore, Feb. 23—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Mary- land Progressive League last Friday af- terndon plans for improving the indus- trial condition of the colored men and ‘women of this city were considered. A umber of speakers pointed out various ways in which the economic condition of the race may be improved, and remun- erative employment secured in hitherto untried fields. At a meeting in the near future a comprehensive plan may be pre- sented for taking up this question. Several shirt factorics here offer re- munerative employment to girls of the race, and they are willing to employ more if steady and reliable persons are secured. Opportunities may be secured in other lines of work if the proper ef- fort is made, and the league intends to take up the matter and push it vigor- oul. 1¢ Afro-American Ledger has a suit on its hands.
