Ransom Severely Denounce Conduct "Cigarette Smoking by Women Desecration of Motherhood," Declares Rev. Powell. During the Forenoon services last Sunday Rev. A Clayton Powell, pastor of the Viscountan Baptist Church, stated that he had learned from a reliable source that it is now a fad among certain society women to smoke cigarettes at social functions, which conduct he declared was a desecration of sacred motherhood and a damnation of childhood. Rev. Reverdy C Ransom, pastor of Bethlehem A M E. Church, also severely scored from the pulpit women cigarette smokers, to declaring that a number of Negro society women are trying to ap the mannersisms of the white women on Faith avenue. Both well known ministers were prompted to speak on the subject owing to information they have received about the doings of several society women at a dinner party given in Harlem a short time ago. It is said that all the women took a delight in smoking cigarettes on the occasion, several of them giving exhortations of inhaling which would have an ambitions youth arrogant "I am reliably informed that at some time the card and wine parties given by society leaders and prominent church members, many of our best women sit with their feet on chairs and smoke cigarettes. What a spectacle! What a delicateness of pure womanhood! What a desecration of sacred motherhood! What a damnation of childhood! Think of a mother with a habe hanging on her breast and a cigarette in her mouth poor little thing! Born into the world with poison in its veins and drawing poison into its stomach! The mental, moral and physical weaklings born of cigarette-smoking mothers, handicapped and doomed at the start, is a picture too sickening and too awful to contemplate. "The apology for this latest hendish fad among some of our women is that 'the white women on Fifth avenue smoke cigarettes. Well, the white people can afford to go to hell. They have done enough for civilization to commit suicide and give other races a chance. Their achievements stretch back through centuries, but we have just begun to make a small contribution to human progress. No people have had greater opportunities stretching before them than we have, and for God's sake let us not commit racial suicide on the very threshold of these unspeakable opportunities." "About a million of our people be- long in our church, and we can save our race, good and future usefulness, not by coming to the worst in our own race, but by susping the members of the whose who have reached the apex of a saint's evolution and are already in toxic with their own material ac- complishments, but by conforming to the best in all races and all literature and especially by taking Jesus Christ our standard in purity and practice." Rev Powell also made the charge that buffer flats are being conducted in New York city by church members, stating Get the buffer flats" where liquor is the cause of the law, and where splorer is the men and moment young women is the first lesson of romance your pages of the black books, and you will find churches, and also it is of these places are run by church connections Discourse Rev Powell THE NEW TRIBUTE TO EDUCATOR Address Delivered by Rev. J. E. Mason on "Booker T. Washington"—Big Reception Held in Rochester at Zion A. M. E. Church. Special to Tuz New York Acq. Rochester, N. Y, March 16—Rev J. E. Mason, secretary of Livingston College, Sallisbury, N. C., responded to the toast, "Booker T. Washington," at the big reception held in honor of the principal of Tuskegee at Zion A M E Church last week Rev. Mason said: "Occasionally in the development of nations educators have arisen whose actual achievements were equal to or transcending their public utterances. Shakespeare tells us 'If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do; chapels would be churches and poor men's hovels palaces. "Generally men's vocal utterances surpass what they actually represent, or are capable of accomplishing. It is much less difficult to speak of great things than to do great things. When we meet with a man who is really great, the architect of his own fortunes, whatever may be our differentations, we usually admire him." "Standing here to night and recalling the struggles and yearnings that have made former visions realities, we exclaim 'All honor to Dr. Booker T. Washington'." To him, more than to any one else, is due the marvelous transformation scenes at Tuskegee, and the world-wide influence and popularity of one obese hamlet. His felt brain is intellectful and sensible energy, have made Tuskegee rise, sphynx-like from the dust and become the Mecca of the educational world Under his magic touch, after years of exacting, unremitting toll, the wilderness has been made to blossom as the rose, and the solitary places to rejoice South's Leading Educator. "It is a remarkably strange providence that through a combination of circumstances, 'out of the eater has come forth meat, and out of the strong has come forth sweetness.' That within forty years after emancipation, a Negro should be the leading educator within the geographical boundaries of what was once the Southern Confederacy, and the most forceful representative in the propagation of the industrial education essential to the demands of the materialistic age, is alike phenomenal and inspiring. Had anyone ventured the prophecy twenty-five years ago, that a slave boy would be the peerless champion in the uplift of the South, he would have been considered non compos mentia. But God is with His oppressed people now, as in the ancient days. When a Douglass, a Price, have passed beyond the vale and conquered, demanding taunt and taunting of another mould, are disgustful, to lead the millions upward and onward, the president of Tuskegee dawns upon the scene "The reactionary tidal wave against higher education was manifesting itself. At this critical juncture is heard the voice of the modern Joshua of industrialism, announcing a new point of view. Ideas Generally Accepted. "I was a delegate to, and a speaker at the religious congress during the Atlanta exposition I spoke in the same auditorium where the distinguished guest of the hour delivered his memorable address, two weeks before. It was my privilege to meet the mayor and other distinguished white citizens. All were fulsome in their praises of the new propaganda. "The fundamental principles underlying his theories rapidly command public attention, and are generally accepted. Soon he stands forth as the master spirit of a new era of education, for, not only the Negro but the nation as well Surrounded on all sides by doubting Thomases, by unbelieving Saracens, by discontented Castilesen, his faith apparently never wavered As the Danes destroyed the hearing of their war horses in order that they might not be affirment by the din of battle, so Dr Washington turned the enemy into many discouragements, and with unsevering determination, with pressed toward the dead. His fearless men, untiring energy and boundless enthusiasm, dereloped all social, and individual distinction and the leading men of the land discovered in him a benefactor. Industrial education for the masses, and higher education for the classes is his enigm. Europe Studies His System "To-day England and Germany, as well as America accept his educational principles for the uplift of the masses. Europe, as well as Africa, is sending her representatives into the southland, to study his system and carry back to their native health and kin the spirit of Tuskegee. "Standing amid flashing chandeliers, tessellated walls and apartments commodious and richly adorned, with delightful strains of music resounding through the corridors, and sweet rose laughter echoing through the lattice of open windows. General Porter said, "Abraham Lincoln has left the richest legacy man can leave to man—the memory of a good name and the inheritance of a great example". Dr Washington, through his educational achievements, stands on day one of the most important milestone in our national life. His friends will never cease to aling peanuts in his honor and the magnificent Tuukkegee Institute will remain the crowning monument to his enduring memory." --- MAYOR NAMES CHIEF LEF NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1910. Cairo Negroes to Help Improve Moral and Civic Condition of Town DENOUNCE MOB-LAW White Ministers Tell Members No Individual Has a Right to Take Human Life Except in Self Defense. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Cairo, Ill., March 15.—An organization has been formed by the Negroes of this city which will be known as the Cairo Law enforcement League. The league will meet once a month and discuss the moral and civic conditions of the colored citizens. A committee on preamble and constitution, composed of Rev W. H. Parker, Rev W. H. Dixon, Wilson Ricks, H. C. Jones and C. C. Wilson, was appointed at a meeting held at the C. M. F. Church. White ministers have commented from the pulpit on the recent outbreaks of lawlessness in this city. Rev James Guller at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, recently spoke on the Sacredness of Human Life," stating in part. No individual has a right to take human life, except in defense of his own. If one hundred good white men believe they have the right to take human life for a given cause, soon one hundred bad white or colored men will assert the same privilege. Lynching is murder. "Thou shalt not kill." Regarding our colored population, we are confronted by a condition and not a theory. The colored people form nearly one-half of our population, some of whom I personally know are upright, industrious, good citizens, who deserve the good will and esteem of every one. Some are criminals, mostly of the migratory kind Deserve Pity Rather Than Vltupera- tion Between these two classes there are a great many men and women who rather deserve our pity and help than our vituperation. They are poor intellectually, morally and often physically. They are shiftless and improvident, and hence more susceptible of influence of the bad rather than the good members of their race. The superior white race has done practically nothing for this poor people. They have, indeed, given them public schools, but their influence morally is insignificant. The white churches have done nothing to aid their colored churches. I have never heard that a white Baptist or Methodist preacher entered a colored church of the same denomination to give a helping hand. An Italian convert called the Methodist mission in Rome $7,000. If that amount among our submerged colored population much good could be done for them. They are sorely in need of a moral uplift. In the meanwhile, the influential members of both races should use their influence to promote peace and respect for law and order among both races. PLANNING NEW BILL Democrats of Maryland Thinking Seriously of Submitting Another Measure to Disfranohise Negroes in 1911—Caucasus Has Been called Special to Tnz New York Ack. Baltimore, March 16 — The Democrats of Maryland, unmindful of their bitter experiences within the past four years, are seriously talking of submitting another disfranchisement bill to the electorate of this State in 1911. A bill has already been introduced in the legislature to disfranchise Maryland's citizens. Some of the hobbies are camming for a bill which will express disfranchise the Negro. The present constitution, adopted in 1867, expressly says that only white men are allowed to vote, and the one adopted by the Republics three years earlier had the same provision. W. Mitchell Diggess, a member of the house of the legislature, has ordered a petition calling for a Democrat to be disfranchise disfranchise READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind HENSON AND PEARY AT OUTS Lieutenant of Explorer Says Peary Is Ungrateful-Instructed Him Not to Go On a Lecture Tour-Received No Pay for Polar Trips. Matt Henson of North Pole fame has substantiated the charged made last week by his wife that Robert E. Peary has been ignoring him for months. According to Henson, Peary is angry with him because he refused to give up his lecture tour as advised by the explorer Henson has given out the following interview regarding his break with Peary. Yes, Peary has apparently forgotten me. I haven't heard a word from him since we landed in New York on October 3. He always was inclined a little to selfishness, but since we came back from the North Pole he shows it more than ever. It is pretty hard to have gone through all the hardships I have with him and then have him treat me in this way. It surprises me a great deal, I can tell you, for I certainly expected I would at least hear from him. While we were in Greenland on our last expedition I took 120 photographs on the ice. Before we landed in America I turned them over to Peary at his request, so he might select what ones he wanted. He was to return to me the ones he did not want and pay me for the ones he kept. He gave me the ones he didn't have any use for, but I haven't heard anything more about the pay for the ones he kept. referred to need command. When I started out on my lecture tour of the country I signed a contract with William A. Brady to appear under his management Peary and my manager, and egraphed me and abandoned it. He gave no reason for his request, simply told me not to make the tour. In a letter received a few days later he explained that I view of the controversy between Dr. Cook and himself he thought it would be better not to make such a tour. Mr. Brady asked me what I was going to do about it and I told him I would pay no attention to it. I was a member of Peary's expeditions from 1891 to 1895, and during those years Peary received a pay waiver. Why, even during our dash to the Pole my pay was very small, and I had all of the details of the work in charge. I balted the sledges, I had charge of the packing of them and I looked after the equipment. Peary was accompanied to the Pole by only four Bequimaux and myself, but since we have returned I am forgotten. Online of our expeditions in 1895, we were crossing Independence Bay, Peary called for volunteers to accompany him. Who do you suppose stuck to him? He was hug, two of us, Hugh Lee and myself. He treated Lee much the same manner as he has treated me after we came back from that trip, and on Peary's last expedition to the Pole Lee refused to accompany him. Saved Peary's Life. On one occasion when Peary was in danger of meeting death from an infurited musk ox I saved his life, and another time when his feet were frozen I took care of him. These are not the only occasions on which I saved Peary's life, but he isn't a man to remember such things very long after the danger has passed. There is absolutely no doubt but that he reached the Pole. It is too bad that Peary cannot show down his data to substantiate his claims, but this is impossible, according to the contract which his publishers have with him.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Guthrie, Okla., March 15—Setting forth that there were a number of defects in the Taylor election bill, which was drawn up with a view to disfranchising the Negro voters of Oklahoma, Gov C N Haskell last week vetoed the measure, causing joy among the Negroes throughout the State The principal objection pointed out by Gov Haskell was that the peculiar arrangement of the ballot title would be confusing and cause many Negroes to lose their votes. In the vetoed measure the provision for a ballot title proposing an amendment to the constitution specified that there should be printed in the title and in the same size as the title "for the amendment" and to make a ballot effective against the proposed amendment a voter would have been required to strike out every letter of the words "for the amendment with a black lead pen." Otherwise it was planned to count the ballot for the proposed amendment The argument advanced by the author or the amendment to Democrats was that hundreds of illiterate Negro voters would be unable to discriminate between the words "for the amendment" and the other lines of the ballot title, and could not, therefore, vote as they might desire. Gov Haskell set forth five reasons for vetting the measure, as follows First—The ballot title may be prepared by the one presenting an initiative petition when the same should be prepared by the attorney general, to prevent the preparation of a title that might be misleading and in no way give the people a chance to cast a proper ballot. Second—The governor asks if the election board is not given unconstitutional legislative power; also, that the clause "For the amendment," is printed in such manner as not to allow the voter proper opportunity to discern its proper sphere or meaning. Third—The petition does not require the secretary of state to give notice, when the executive believes the secretary should cause to be printed in at least one or more newspapers of state circulation notice of the petition, and when the expiration for the five days' notice of protest will expire. Fourth- Permission for sample ballots or publication of the same is denied, such provision depriving the press of printing same and carrying on a discussion as to merits or demerits. Fifth- While not all objections are constitutional the executive holds some of the other objections are of such importance that it might mislead and confuse, and therefore feels it incumbent in the interest of right to refuse to sign the measure, thereby attaching his veto thereto. BUILDING NOT YET COMPLETED Subscribers Have Failed to Live Up to Promises Made Months Ago Toward Execution of Structure for Y. M. C. A. Special to THE New York Age. Washington, D. C., March 16. -In my letter last week there was another feature of Washington lite which I intended to discuss, but reframed for fear of making my communication too long. Some months ago the Negroes of the Capital City were started to a point of enthusiasm never before reached in the direction of gifts in cash and in promises toward the erection of a suitable edifice for the housing of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A in this city. All told, some $19,000 was paid or subscribed. The plans for the erection of the structure were drawn by W. Sudney Pittman, the colored architect of Washington. The building is now about half or two thirds completed, but for some unknown reason everything seems to be at a standstill. Nothing has been done on the building for many months. As one passes by he sees the beautiful structure the output of Mr. Pittman's skill and brains presenting a lonesome and unpleasant appearance. It would be a matter of the great amount agreed to the Negro drivers who made gifts to the large and small to see this structure so completely completed and the original plan carried out. If some plan is not devised for the completion of the building before many moons have passed your correspondent feels that it will be a hazardous and difficult task to enlist the interest or support of colored people in this city in the future in any such movement. By all means those charged with the responsibility should see to it that at an early date that the hammers, saws, trowels and other workmen's tools begin to make noise and attract attention in this uncompleted edifice. O E D COLORED FOREMEN Five Have Been Appointed to Succeed Whites Who Have Resigned, Owing to Naming of Everett Spurlock Superintendent of Street Cleaning. Columbus, O., March 15 — Director of Service Holton has announced the appointment of five Negro foremen in the street cleaning department to take the places of white foremen who resigned because of the appointment of Everett Spurlock, colored, as superintendent of the street cleaning department. The new colored appointees are W H Stewart, William Tyler, Jesse Brown, I. C Bailey and S H Walker. The announcement bears out the prediction that the street cleaning department is to be turned over to Negroes exclusively. It was rumored that the places of laborers in the department are to be turned over to colored voters, although the white employees may not be forced out at once if they insist on remaining. This may result in a concerted movement on the part of all the white men in the department to turn in their resignations. In such an event colored men would be selected to fill the vacancies. HOME FOR COLORED BOYS. Hartford, Conn, March 13.—A meeting of a number of the Negro citizens of Hartford was held recently for purpose of forming an organization whose purpose will be to endeavor to found a home for the Negro boys of Connecticut, having connected therewith a large farm to furnish employment for the boys. The name of the organization as decided Wednesday evening is the Connecticut Colored Boys' Association. The project was originated by J. W Dowden, head janitor at the union railroad station. The officers elected at the meeting are as follows: President, J. W. Dowden; vice-president, J. S. Taylor; secretary, O. E. Holmes; treasurer, L. F. Johnson. WOULD ABOLISH RECORDER OF DEEDS. Washington, D.C, March 15—That Washington should have a probate judge is the opinion of members of the Southeast Washington Citizens' Association, a white organization. They feel that a probate judge could do the work of the Recorder of Deeds and the latter office could be abolished. This idea received strong support at a meeting of the Southeast Washington Citizens' Association at a recent meeting, but no definite action was taken. Other questions discussed related to the improvement of the street railway service and the condition of the Aanacostia flats. GOMEZ TO REPRESENT CUBA. Havana, Cuba, March 14—Juen Guolherto Gomez, after three times refusing the appointment, has agreed to act as a member of Cuba's Commission to the International Congress of American Republics in the place of the Vice-President of Cuba, who has definitely announced that he will be unable to accept the honor More Praise For Tenth.

Veterinarian, Tenth Cavalry Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION Issue Raised Owing to Recent Attitude of the Administration Negro Census Enumerators for Negroes Only—Case of Benjamin Bundy Discussed Citizen of Cincinnati Who Has Passed Examination for Consular Service Cannot Get Appointment. (By Ace Staff Correspondent) Washington, D. C., March 16.—Hundreds of Negro voters, who aided materially in putting the administration at Washington in power, are now wondering if the policy of the present regime will be to officially recognize the color line. A number of incidents which have occurred recently is causing many to have misgivings that despite the fact that the Republican party is at the helm the Negro is to be discriminated against because of his color. One of the latest episodes to occasion adverse comment might be mentioned the case of Benjamin Bundy of Cincinnati, O., who is likely to find himself at a disadvantage, irrespective of his fitness for a position in the consular service, because he is a Negro. In the State Department the question of admission of a colored man to the consular service has been raised. What to do with Bundy is causing the head of the State Department no amount A short time ago Bundy took the examination for entrance into the consular service. He passed seventh. Although the six men ahead of him have been appointed, he is still waiting for good news. A few days ago Bundy was summoned to the State Department and offered the sition of Secretary of the Legation in Liberia. He respectfully declined, declaring that it was his ambition to be connected with the consular service and as he had passed the examination he wanted what was justly due him as an American citizen. He was further informed by the State Department that its policy is to appoint Negroes to positions among the people of their own race, but Bundy set forth his position, stating that when he took examination for the consular service he did not see any provisions that limited him to acting as consul among Negroes only. No decision has been reached in the case. The principal stipulation in the regulations relative to the eligibility of applicants for consular service says: "No one shall be examined who is under 21 or over 60 years of age, or who is not a citizen of the United States, or who is not or good character and habits, and physically and mentally qualified for the proper performance of consular work, or who has not been specially designated by the President for appointment." One-Sided Census Policy. From every section of the United States come objections from Negroes regarding the policy of the administration with reference to the taking of the census. The charge is being made that the Government is giving its official consent to "Jim Crow" methods. Never before in the history of the country has a ruling been made that Negroes should only take the census in localities populated by members of the race. He, therefore colored enumerators have not been barred from taking the census in white districts. If the new ruling of the Supervisor of Census is interpreted correctly, in a district where Negroes make up two-thirds of the population Negroes enumerators are restrained from taking the census of the town in the district, a white man being required to question the white residents of the other hand, in a district where members of the race constitute the majority of the population the enumerator must be white. It is not necessary for your correspondent to deal on the policy inaugurated by the administration relative to appointing Negroes to important positions in the South. State March 4, 1908, there being a regular wholesale removal of Negroes from important offices in the Southern section of the country and white Republicans, mostly Latty Whites substituted. What more the administration has yet to provide births for members of the race in the North is impaired. When one says in the present situation, taking into consideration that the Republican party is a power, your car respondent is prompted to ask the G P. the question—Qu. Vadis? DR. WASHINGTON FOR Y.

On last Wednesday evening at St. John's M. E. Church parsonage, Oranje, N. J. Miss Laura Jane D. Palmer, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. William R. A. Palmer and Dr. Wendell Phillips G. Irving, D. H. was quietly but happily interrupted by management by the late, timid family and close friends of both families. It was the wish of the bride that her marriage would be attended with such simplicity as her temperament and desire had accustomed to her to which was willfully accrued to her her adoring love and growth as tired in inappropriate traveling customs on departure for their honey moon. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Urling left by the D. J. & W. train for Bridgesport, Conn., where they met with the teachers of the Bridgesport and Mrs T. W. Witkins. Cards announcing their marriage and their 'at home' on Sunday, March 29, at the comfortable residence of the doctor, 31 Weight street, Newark have been issued to their host of friends and acquaintances in the ceremony, and the announcement of Mr. Urling's sister (nee Anne Urling) to Joseph A. Richardson, both of Brooklyn, which took place last August. Rev. and Mrs. Palmer, who are representatives of some of the friends of Mr. Urling, are well pleased at the union of their daughter to a worthy and successful husband.

Last week The Ace carried a news item from a special correspondent in Washington dealing with Postmaster General Hitchcock and his attitude toward the Lily Whites and Negro office holders. The Ace in this case pursued its usual custom, that is to give space to news items without taking responsibility for what its correspondent may say THE AGE is a Republican paper be believing in the policies of the Republican party, the Republican President and the Republican Postmaster General. No one individual occupying the delicate and difficult position which Postmaster General Hitchcock now occupies in the Taft administration could please all the people. We believe that the Postmaster General is making an earnest attempt to deal with equanimity with all racial interests, and until it is proven to the contrary we shall continue to support Mr. Hitchcock and Mr Taft. This does not mean that we shall not in the future, as in the past, give reasonable space and a reasonable hearing to any reputable correspondent who may not agree with our policy and views. Certainly, judged by his attitude and actual dealings with Negroes during the presidential campaign, we have every reason to hold up the hands of Mr Frank H. Hitchcock and shall continue to do so until it is proven to our satisfaction that we are jeopardizing the interests of ten millions of Negroes in doing so Despite the self-defusion of Southern statesmen as in slavery, the disfranchisement of the Negro is not a settled question. Nothing is more apparent today than this in a glance at Southern conditions. For over a score of years the ingenuity of Southern legislators has contrived every device by which they could secure the permanent service suppression of the Negro and the absolute domination of the whites. On every page of those attempts is already written the word FAILURE. The shotgun method was a two edged sword, often cutting backwards more deeply than forward Ballot box stuffing was a criminal violation of the constitution, degraded into a counting out of the white voters not in control of the election machinery 90,000 white voters were counted out according to the Birmingham Age Herald in the last Alabama election on the liquor question. The "grandfather" and "understanding" clauses have been tried and the Charlotte News and Observer recently remarked that this licentious legislation is debaucheng the masses of Southern white men. Though the Negroes of South Carolina are in the proportion of three to two to the whites, the whites there, it sadly lamentes, commit more than one-half of that state's murders The voting qualifications for the Negro of education and property are being tried, and it is now apparent that this is a menacing incentive to the Negro to get education and property. From the black man's standpoint the situation in Georgia is encouraging. Quoting The Unchch County News, the Macon Telegraph says Such Negroes as can register under the new disfranchisement amendment to the constitution are doing so and rapidly, and from the way things now appear the registration law, which requires whites to register soon before the election, is going to disfranchise far more white people than the other will Negroes—that is, whereas the great bulk of the Negroes were practically disfranchised before the amendment was adopted, there will be no effect on Negroes to register this year from formerly and less whites by far. Governor Haskell of Oklahoma on Monday, March 7, vetoed the Negro disfranchisement bill and wisely The South is recognizing that Negro disfranchisement is a boomerang Elimination of the Negro becomes a more hurtful elimination of the whites. Makesifts and evasions are but temporary and far more damaging to the progress and character of the whites than the blacks. They breed a spirit of brutish self satisfaction and license in the whites. They excite determination and an embalming forbearance in the blacks. The Hamlet's ghost of Southern polities will not down until it is pacified in a spirit of justice and equity. Until the Negro and the white man meet the same qualifying tests fairly and squarely the question of the franchise will not be settled. The following are the results of a regression analysis. BUT ONE GOOD NEGRO the editor of the New York Times is a Southern gentleman. Every Southern gentleman knows one good Negro Nowadays among the more than ten million citizens of color in the United States he sees only one honest, wise and shrewd Negro That Negro, like Topsy, just grown up, a freak of nature. He did not spring from forbears of innate worth and wisdom. All the other members of his race today are simple and childlike without a solid foundation of character and capacity. The blacks in Africa neither now or at any time in the past have ever had the germ of a civilization or of industry. The association of the Negro with white men through the black man's simian propensity for imitation alone accounts for the Negro's progress since slavery This is the key to the studiously complimentary book review of the Times of last Saturday of Dr Washington's recent great work, "The Rise of the Race." The editor pays a hardly welcome tribute to the "shrewdness" of the Tuskegean in crediting the latter with a wise and well intended deception to his people. The writer says The aim is to provide for the American Negro, in his own eyes especially, a historic background which will extend beyond the slave ship, and, as Kipling says, lead him to make the most of any way of civilization among the various black races in Africa, to assemble from various writers on the African at home passages which exhibit him in an encouraging light crafts, or institutions, and thus by suggestion to substitute as the portrait of his ancestors in the American Negro's mind the composite picture thus created for the makes savage of Darkest Africa, who is the man that makes world's imagination and, as Dr Washington confesses, the Negro own. The Times disputes the original researches of the great authorities in Africa, like Heeren, Barth and Lugard. True it is that their facts and conclusions as to the historic civilization and industry of the African are little known and distasteful to the Caucasian. But the Times is charitable. However, if it refutes these scientific treatises let us assure our great contemporaries that the Negro can bear to hear the truth. Diplomatic distortion of historic fact will not serve to greatly inspire the Negro now rapidly coming into a knowledge for himself of the truth. The Negro has been, is, and will be like other men. The one good Negro is not a freak. Neither are all the others dullards and children. EVANGELIZE THE WORLD. First pick the mote out of thine own eye, then shall thou see more clearly to pick the mote out of thy brother's eye. This scriptural injunction we have suggested to the Lavemens Missionary Convention as it starts out on its mammoth mission of evangelizing the world before the year 2000. Should this hand of Christian disciples hold this Christian command they would start out by evangelizing America. If the report of the large Denver convention of the missionaries last week is correct, they themselves first of all would absorb some more spirit of the Christ to advantage. How can they go forth among all nations and preach the gospel of the brotherhood of man when they themselves recognize the color of life. The report tells w Denver, March 5: There were no delegates among the 1,500 persons who attended the banquet in this city on Thursday night inaugurating the convention of the laymen's association of the Missionary Member of Negro churches accepted invitations sent to them and to practically all other congregations in Denver, but the caterer for the banquet, when he learned that Negroes were to attend information meetings and a contract with his white waiters stipulating that they would not be called on to serve Negroes. The committee in charge of the banquet made other provisions for the colored descent of the missionary member of the discrimination they announced to-day that they would not attend. The American missionaries we repeat should begin the exchaguation of the world by giving their maximum attention to the home field. WISE WORDS In speaking before the New York Republican Club at a recent inning Judge Mayer Sulzberger of Philadelphia said, "Wherever you have economic power there you have political power, and just as sure as any race gains economic power it will redeem it elf from hostile prejudice against it by the accompanying political prestige." In these words Judge Sulzberger embraces the whole problem before the Negro race in this country. Nothing could be stronger in these few words there is the true gospel for the salvation of the Negro throughout America. These words should be committed to memory by the leaders of the race NEGRO POLICEMEN. We are heartily pleased at the results of the long persistent efforts The Ace has made to get Negroes to try for positions as patrolmen. The Civil Service Commission informs us that more than a score of Negroes made application prior to December 31, 1900, and that they are at the present time taking the physical and mental tests. The application books are again open now and the examination of these applicants will take place in the early Fall of this year. We trust that many more Negroes will make application at once and take the examinations. Mayor Gaynor has assured every applicant of a square deal Negroes heretofore have applied and been examined very rarely if at all As a consequence the hundred thousand Negroes in this city, unlike every other race, has practically no representation among the more than ten thousand policemen of the metropolis. This shortcoming has been ascribed by many to wardice. But the Negro of New York is no less brave than the Negroes of Philadelphia, hundreds of whom are on that city's splendid department Others have ascribed it to the laziness of the local black man. There is not sufficient reason to support this charge, disgraceful if true. The position of patrolman on New York's great force is both an honorable and lucrative one The attention of the Negroes of this city has not been called to this, their need and opportunity. That we believe is the best reason for their failure. Race roots would be fewer and order could be best preserved in the Negro districts by Negro patrolmen. Negro criminals and loafers could be much more easily hunted down. The Negro would feel a far greater security and confidence in the law. The best interests of the race would be served in every respect by Negro policemen in New York, and we trust that qualified men will continue to make this needed effort. --- WHY NO INTERNES? Lincoln Hospital and Home, one of the largest private hospitals in this city was started as an institution forNegroes. More than ten thousand patients, one half of whom were Negroes, were treated the last year. A large number of splendid young women of the race have graduated from its nurse training department and have scattered to the corners of the country doing good. Thus far Lincoln Hospital has served the purposes of its founders. But to today no Negro doctor is permitted to be an intern at the institution. This is a test. It is a painful and palpable violation of the principles of Lincoln founders, and we want to know why We know the excellent president of Lincoln is not averse. We do believe that a weak deference to prejudiced common law is the controlling reason. It cannot be said that there are not competent Negro doctors or that they have not applied for admission. Such have applied and the vision they have received has been a practical expulsion. There is neither right nor reason to this injurie to young Negro doctors who deserve and are entitled to the practice which the institution affords. Lincoln Hospital can not longer afford to continue this discrimination. STARTING SMALL. A two example for Nectaros is the following as one illustrating the thrift of the Greeks who are flocking into America. We print the following taken from the Savannah News. Five years ago Charles and Louis Lamas came to Savannah from Greece and opened a shoeshining shop in a little hole in the wall on Bull street near Broughton. They had nothing when they began their thrift and practiced the strictest frugality. Now they are on the verge of closing a deal for the two story brick building. No 14 Broughton street, east, where Mr. Wilsonaky has had his shoe factory for eight years. The Lamas bothert property pay $20,000 cash for the property. And they saved all of this money in coppers and nickels. They sell papers for one cent and shine shoes for five cents. Their party for pedestrians on Bull street and on broughton and their business has always been rushing. They have accommodations for eight or nine customers at a time and have a knack of bringing the people in and out of a hurry. Not in a long time has the sale of a piece of property caused so much comment. The idea of two brothers, beginning with no capital in the business of shining in a place that is much larger than a big dry goods box, earning and boarding enough money to make a $20,000 investment is astonishing in the extreme. We repeat this is an example which Negro boys in every part of the country not only buy and buy but should follow EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. In view of the fact that Roosevelt once captured America, has conquered Africa, and Europe is soon to fawn at his feet, what will be left for the strenuous statesmen to do on his return, but to begin all over again. Marsal that the opposition of the State G. O. P was merely the last kick of the old guard. The machine may be a dead one, but the locked parties are doing some desperate gasping to recover their breath. The Negro contractor, Brown, lms just finished painting the lampsports of Atlantic City a dark blue. If the city by the sea lives up to its past Easter reputations, his work will soon be done over in a bright red With anti-administration fires burning on a thousand hills, the very contemptuous indifference with which they are regarded is admirable Cruel as it may be to those sitting in darkness, the latest scientific thought refutes the popular idea that the darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn of day The Negroes of Columbus, though Mayor Marshall made Everett Spurlock superintendent of street cleaning, and will also employ Negro subordinates under the colored superintendent, are still dissatisfied. As with an individual, so with a race - a clean sweep is often the road to higher things. Professor Richard T Greener received from Census Director Durand a vury, vury respectful turndown in answer to his keen criticism of the Negro census order. Even though it may be said that the Negro has received some knockout blows from the administration none can deny that it has been done with kid gloves Some pleasant remarks have been made to the effect that the far-famed Woman's Era Club of Boston is coming a little late into the suffragette held with its recent discussion of woman's suffrage and civil rights. The pleasant ones are wrong, for ever since the morning stars sang so sweetly together from the standpoint of discussion, both civil and otherwise, it has been a woman's ea --- DAYTON MAN'S ANALYSIS Graffiting Ministry and Machine Politica Account for Cincinnati Conditions. To the Editor of the New York Ave to the Editor of The New York Age. It gave me much interest while reading your comment upon Mr. Quillons article in The Independent. The trouble with the Negro hero is the same as in my other Northern city of a large enough Negro population I attribute the conditions here. First the Negroes' activity in politics, second, corrupt, disheasant and ignorant grafting ministers, third, the different exploitation of race prejudice under the popular and misleading name of "Negro enterprises." It is undeniably true that the Negro has lost nearly all of his civil rights as well as his right to enter the higher callings of industrial life. These conditions are ably pictured by Mr. Quillan. The part which I wish to reveal is the utter ignorance of the mass of Negroes in questions which concern them. I often pray that their eyes may be opened to see acts and events in their true condition without amusement and a befogged mind, which so many so-called race men are producing. Who has the Negro officer to such low degree social economic political and spiritual? We all know that those one of the States where the Negro has the balance of power upon political questions. He also knows that any boss or machine organizer must maintain its power in office to supply work for its constituents. This is the secret of Lamport in New York the secret of Latterday in Boston and the secret of Boss Cox in Commune. The discharging thing about this system that Negro does not get is while white men who desert to work vengeance upon the boss of Negro dissent is satisfied by many of low dollars which are distributed by some Negro kerosene some men's stets and water. Thus all Negro dissent is satisfied by bigger each election and they is the result These are the conditions which are excluding the Negro and the Negro and the treatment he is rest to sympathetic treatment. When the white people save the black question than and only when the black problem should be solved. We have hope for all men of the Negro work.

The Colorado Statesman The Negro race may take pride in the fact that Thomas Johnson, a 16-year old colored boy, holds the January graduating class of the Jersey City High School with a general range of 924 per cent of the three Negro students in a class of more than eighty. James Wilson graduated classmate two of three boys his senior was graduated with a higher percentage, 934, for the two years he had a half that he has lost to the high school classmates.

The fact that the Negro mistakes the real purpose of a bank, perhaps can be best illustrated by quoting a Wall Street journal of national circulation. It says: "A moment's reflection will show that the purpose of a bank is to collect the funds." Judging from the above quotation the great mistake of our people who really save is that they regard a temporary convenience as a permanent investment, or, in other words, they are satisfied to let their savings remain in a bank at three or four per cent interest, or in a bank at an enormous profit. The amount of Negro money on deposit in the various banks of the country, and especially in Chicago clearly demonstrates that our slow rise to wealth is not due to the fact that we have not no physical earning capacity, but rather due to our lack of capital. We are investing what we have earned. What we need is not more facilities for making money but more confidence in investing it. The Illinois Chronicle We are sorry to note the fact that so few of the race care so little about business and so few try to get into that channel.

AMPLE EDUCATION FOR NEGRO But No Need for Begetting Amino enism Among the Leaders, So Republican. A long-time friend and helper of Negro education in the South, and quainted with the situation there all its aspects, writes: The paragraph in Saturday's B publican, elsewhere printed, respects Dr. DuBois and Atlanta, does not the whole case with absolute accou and fairness. The fact is there in heart, very little difference between those who advocate the industrial those who advocate the so-called "higher education" for Negroes. Patriotic and fair-minded people, Not and South, who believe in any kind education for the Negroes, agree the like white people, the brightest is most capable of them should have the best opportunity possible for a train that shall fit them to be the teacher and leaders of their race To be sure, there is a lot of a lot and nonsense about the overwork phrase "higher education," as we concerning the colored people it is misleading term, fruitful of controversy. To many it is practically technical with the old classical education and that is substantially the sense which it is carried on in the college department at Atlanta. But we know perfectly well that, because of a prodigious changes in educational theory and practice during the last thirty or forty years, the study of the class is no longer regarded, by some minors as indispensable for a high, "higher or even highest education. The class have almost been allowed out of existence by the claims of other equal good, if not better studies. Even a distinction between the academical at the vocational, or the professional education is far less pronounced than used to be—professional studies become and more pushed into the anemical courses in our colleges, and professional schools becoming and more the centers of broadcasting. So that we do not talk about "higher education" here at the Noras as the exclusive prerogative of a special class of institutions. But there is another mischievous suit of the use of this somewhat caning phrase "the higher education," advocates have persistently, either directly, or tactily, tended to identify with the demand for political and social equality for the colored people. This is most unfortunate. It has created a most serious and wholly less prejudice against this type of deavor to promote it. Educate whether high or low, has nothing ever to do, directly, with these delicacy and burning questions of the political and social relations of the two races. Educate has the superb leadership of General Jackson been more conspicuous and a nimble than in founding institute that have given, on the whole, and under the circumstances, the best possible opportunities for education to do this, political and such as well religious, questions would in the take care of themselves Proof DuBois is an extremely alman, a thorough and brilliant school a very gifted writer and speaker he has great capacity for serving the ordered people. When he urges that, any event, the host possible means opportunities should be afforded the most effective way themselves in the most effective way in Iowa, every single and patriotic North and South who believes in catting the Negro at all, will agree with him and bid him godsep. But when he pursues and exhibits a perpetual grievance the fact that is not a white man identifies his a hand for "higher education" with a demand that his people shall in respect be placed on political and a social equivale with the white men of a leader. The Nair movement" that provokes an nounious and futile dissension and his own people, and comes North to allege as a "political leader" of the noblest and most useful officer of the United States, who is the be of another educational institution unheard of in the county of provals among the leaders of our country, then he must not be surprised if an officer of his race, and those who believe giving them the least educational opportunity, draw back from him. Prof DuPola is much the oldest now connected with Atlanta university. It is no secret that he has for years been the dominant influence in the university, and he has done his right to carry on the political and social agitation. No one besides the right of Atlanta university sustain him in it, if it occurs. But it is unfortunate and unfair to have cause of larger educational opportunities down by this course of action. If DuPola, with his great gifts, become the intense and bitter adversary of political and social equality for Negro, and if those who are responsible for the maintenance and improvement of his university be afforded him justice for his atrocity let them do it, but let them not try this cause with the cause of generous education for the people, and let them not compete they are "given the cold northern northern, philanthropic the northern, specially on these philanthropic plenty of other acts to aid education. Springfield Public movement to Raise $35,000 for the Erection of Dormitory PRESIDENT TAFT SPEAKS Chief Executive Makes Principal Address and Discusses Education Other Preminent Men Present. Special to The New York Ann. Washington, D. C., March 15—President Latt was principal speaker at a big mass meeting held last week at the Metropolitan A M E Church for the purpose of interesting the Negroes of the capital city in the movement to raise $18,000 to be used in the erection of a new dormitory at Wilberforce University. Andrew Carnegie has promised to give $18,000 if a similar amount is raised by the university. Other speakers were Prof W. A. Jouer, who presided, Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, Senator Charles Dick of Ohio, President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University, and Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme Court. President Taft said in part First, I want to congratulate Wilberforce University on having the influence to bring together so large and so intelligent an audience. I am sure it augur well. I am also the student Scarlett is pressing. Of course, when I see him in a week or two, I will ask him to pu tilt down in figures, and perhaps then he will think he will have to call two or three other meetings for the purpose. But what I am anxious to do is to testify by my presence to the deep interest I take in the progress of that institution of learning, which for fifty years has been in my mind, and has been the most usefulness for the race and for the country. Confession is good for the soul—and I have to say that I reached my interest in the education of the Negro through the responsibilities that were thrust on me with reference to the education of arithmetic until you have responsibilities until you have to do something affirmative—that you look into a question with a seriousness that makes you a bit thorough, and when I went to the Philippines, with a population of 8,000,000 and with 7 per cent. speaking English, thus indicating the proportion of the people that had any education at all, I began to meet a problem with reference to education that gave me an interest in every other problem of the kind in the world, and when I returned from there the Negro gave an emphasis that I didn't before understand, and gave me an interest in it that I never before had. Kind of Education. Of course, the first feeling that one has with reference to the education of the Negro is that education that it is possible to bring to all color men and women, and the only way that you can bring to all colored men and women—as, indeed, the only education that you can bring to all white men and women—is primary education with industrial education, vocational education, and the importance of that industrial education forces itself on you, you forget for the time that any significance is to be given to secondary and higher, or you must frequently into the error of saying that money spent in university education is wasted, that the Negroes who are educated at universities, who are engaged in studying Greek and Latin, and who are educated in a academic way, are making an error. You yield to such aphorisms as Dr. Wiley has used with respect to a woman's education—that it is better for woman to learn how to read, write, and dance. There is nothing quite so misleading as an ephigram. The Negro race is a great and growing race -4,000,000 when the war closed, 10,000,000 to day a race with whose history the United States has been bound, and with this progress and improvement this country must always be bound and united. While the white race and the Negro race live contentedly together in this country, they must have among the Negro race educated class from which those leaders are to be drawn. The Negro race is a race peculiarly susceptible to the teaching from the public and nothing can do more to secure their uplift than the education of their preachers. If you are going to spread industrial and primary and secondary education among the Negroes generally, you must do it through competent teachers and those teachers can best education that the country can afford. Another path along which the Negro race must laboriously mount upward is the path toward hygiene and the guarding against the rays of disease, which has brought about its loss and suffering to the Negro race all over the country, and that can be accomplished by competent physicians, competent physicians, competent nurses, and competent leaders of the people in this regard to teach them how to live. And those physicians have got to receive the highest education and medically are to serve their highest purposes. Now I am entirely agreed that it is wise to teach these who farm as much as possible about the farm, and what I want to call your at-ment money is devoted to the higher education of the Negro as compared with the 10,000,000 Negros in this country is not enough. If you are beaten it up among that 10,000 people, you can't give any great amount of capital. I want to hear the figures once and instead of being an indulgent waste, there is an indication that there is not poor enough money to even educate leaders of the race that it is necessary as it is. Therefore, when I hear of a movement around Negro philosophy, whether it be primary, secondary, industrial, or university. I am in favor of it from the ground up. Interest in the South. I have spoken so often on the subject of Negro education, and have heard that the race is involved in it, that I feel that every time I got up to speak as if somebody would say, "Can't you talk about something else?" It is a subject in which the South country, and especially the interest of the South, is much taken up. I verily believe that in the South, where the good proportion of our Negro population lives, there is coming to those people the feeling that in education is the future of that country. Now, the education that is lacking there is not alone lacking there; there is lacking in both among the Negroes and whites, and it is to the credit of the Negro race and those who have done so much for the education of the Negro race, that the white race is learning the lesson with respect to the necessary education for both races from the adapted teaching of the colored race. Learning the Secret. It is in Tuskegee and Hampton and like institutions that the whole Southern people are learning the secret and the value of industrial education. I heard President Ellot, the foremost educator of this country, say at Hampton that it was General Armstrong and the men who gathered about him. Booker T. Washington solved the problem of education that up to that time had never been met. I presume that presidents of colleges realize that their chief function is begging—just as any have to do in the job of the President of the United States is not to preserve and defend the Constitution, but it is to increase the boycott of government. I find a president of a university around on an errand that has brought President Scarborough here, my heart goes out to him. I have been told that he more discouraging than that of opening a man's pocket. TWO THOUSAND HEAR WASHINGTON Two Great Syracuse Meetings for Tuskegee—Lee Henson. Regular Correspondence of Tuz Aor Syracuse, N Y, March 15—Dr Booker T Washington, the great educator and foremost man of his race in the world to-day, spoke to two immense audiences in Syracuse on Monday night; March 7. At the fine new church edifice of the South Presbyterian Church probably near two thousand people listened to his stirring address upon the progress and the cause of the Negro, while several hundred more were unable to gain admittance. Later in the evening at the Bethany Baptist Church, before the largest gathering of Negro citizens in this city in years he was most enthusiastically received by the people of all shades of belief and opinion as to the policy the Negro race ought to pursue in order to better the condition of the race. Regardless of their differences of opinion they all joined in welcoming to Syracuse Dr. Washington as the greatest of the warriors and the defender and advancement of the colored citizens of this Republic. "The meeting of Dr. Washington and "Mat" Henson upon the same platform at the Bethany Baptist Church was a memorable one, for never before, do we believe he, the most able men of race, faced together any similar gathering of our citizens. As they sat there together, it was impossible not to compare the two types of Negro manhood. Mr Henson, cool, courageous and hard-working, was manhood of the race, and Mr Washington, the highest type of intellectual manhood that the race has yet produced. After excellent music by the young musician under the direction of Mrs. I. R. Robinson, who also sang a fine solo later in the evening, Mr Washington spoke for over an hour and most truthfully can he be called 'The Apostle of the Dignity of Man.' He said that a twofold responsibility rested upon the Negroes in the North, firstly, to help or save themselves, secondly, to set such an example as will help and inform the bulk of the members of the other race would never know anything about the black man, except that they came into contact with him in the North that as drummers samples, as he said by our actions and conduct could promote the progress of the race. Dr. Washington said in part, in speaking of the wonderful progress the race has made that the Negro produce more black and white living peacefully together and working out their separate destinies with the aid of each other. Fifty seven per cent of all the Negroes in the country can read and write. The Portuguese can neither read nor write. "The history of nations, continuing he said. Will show no more wonderful progress of a race that has been shown by American Negroes since the shackles were removed from their wrists. At a very constant rate estimate the Negro now owns, buys dry goods stores, grocery stores and show stores in the United States and drug stores in the United States." In the matter of his upfit the black man has two problems. One, to adhere in the directions that I have indicated, the other, to so articulate his intention to make a difference in the lives of the black man has so much to maintain peace and good will in the community. Progress is being made in this direction, much more progress than any man who does not actually live in the South can realize. The South is not like a place in the South you rarely hear of the best that occurs there. When we consider the large number of people involved, 400,000 black people and 17,000,000 white people in the South, and then consider how these two majors the wonder is that they have not done better but that they have done so well in living together in so peaceful and happy a manner. We trip through every section of the South and more every year that when you go into a community and get beneath the experiment and bitterness often attired up by politicians and national newspapers that in nine cases out of ten there is peace and harmony existing between people. Negro and the individual white man. "I have observed further that just in proportion on the Negro can make himself useful through the possession of property by reliable labor by some trade or occupation and by high moral living that he has the respect and confidence of the white man by whose side he lives." At the conclusion of Dr. Washington's address collections he was at both churches for the work of the Tuskegee Institute. He was agreeably the amount which the Negro citizens gave toward this purpose through Rev. James T. Pulin, the pastor of the church. Fred H.

Greensboro, N C, March 8.-National Organizer Charles H. Moore of the National Negro Business League has of late been creating widespread interest throughout the South in the work of the organization of business Negroes who meet in convention in New York in August. In many Southern States he has organized State branches and in many Southern cities he has established local leagues The business fever has been caught by communities hitherto dormant so far as Negro enterprises are concerned and the press of the South, both black and white, has taken notice of the awakened thrift and enterprise of the Negro population. The Greensboro Daily News recently had this to say of the work of the energetic organizer from its Montgomery correspondent. "Professor Charles H. Moore, of Greensboro, N. C. national organizer of the National Negro Business League, who visits Mobile and Montgomery this week, in the interests of the League, is one of the remarkable Negroes of the South. He is probably the best informed man in the country on the business enterprises of his race "Professor Moore is a native of North Carolina. He received his early training in Raleigh, the capital of His State, after which he entered Howard University, Washington, D. C., and graduated from the preparatory department. He then went to Massachusetts and took a course in Amstest College, from which he graduated with an excellent record. He was the first colored student that enjoyed the college course in that famous New England school After graduating Professor Moore returned to his native State and settled down in Greensboro, where he entered the educational work of his race and was identified with that work as leader and educator nearly a quarter of a century. He not only stands high among his own people, but with the leading white people, being always and everywhere regarded as a conservative leader and safe adviser of his people. At the solicitation of Dr. Washington and the executive committee of the Business League, Professor Moore was induced to give up educational work in which he had been signally successful and become the national organizer of local business leagues among Negroes. Since entering upon his new field of labor he has refused flattering offers to return to his former work and take charge of educational institutions among his people, but he has refused them all for his present labors. "Professor Moore writes weekly reports of his work, which are published in more than a hundred papers, some of them leading dailies PREACHER CHARGES LODGEMENT Rev A. R. Cooper Tella Pythians of Their Bad Finance and no Halls. "I charge you with lethargy. Why have you not a hall of your own? It is not for a lack of money. It is because you have no confidence in each other." These strong words from Rev A R Cooper was just a part of the same advice given Negro lodgemen in particular and the race in general at the recent annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias at the Bridge Street Church. The anxiety lodges to the Pythians which with their many friends overflowed the building were Ben Hur Lodge No. 19, Excelsior Lodge, No. 4, Durek Lodge, No. 4, Hannah Lodge and Naomi Court. Rev Cooper selected as the subject of his discourse the third chapter of Revelations and part of the eight verse "Behold, set before them an open door." He said in part In the State of Georgia, Neiges cannot wear the badge or emblem, or participate in the ritual of the Knights of Pythias. The reason they assign for this legislation is that the Negro is not careful as to when and where he uses the signs and gramps, and that he always in distress. What lesson do we learn from this decision. That the Negro must originate something in his own brain instead of always imitating something the white man does. We must take advantage of the opportunities before us to the extent of improving them. There is a door open to every man. God in his wisdom has so arranged it that the man who is possessed of qualities is sure to succeed. The basic principle of success is common sense. God lays the base and it is for us to build the monument. For a man to be a real and true knight there are absolute essentials he must possess. He must be honest loyal and true. This organization originated with Dionon and Pathys, two men who met each other as brothers and were always honest with each other. We cannot forget the person who, when we are traveling the dangerous road of life with its slippery paths, comes to our rescue. This is the spirit of your organization. There are principles which must be imbibed before we can study many of the opportunities offered us. God does not discriminate between men, but the man who strikes the iron while it is hot is the man who will succeed. You must possess qualities that stand for something, must be men and women of good moral character, if you would live up to the principles of this noble institution. Ten years from the birth of New York, there will be a little Georgia, a little Alabama, and a little Mississippi, each bringing their prejudice with them. You must be prepared to meet the conditions which they will bring. For God's sake get together and from your own fertile brains deduct something substantial and tangible. Make you rown badge, formulate your own ritual, etc. Read the history of these orders. What have you added to them? Nothing You have accepted them just as the white man has handed them to you. Have some feature of distinction in your orders so that when the white man shows you his ritual you can produce yours. Watch your door lest treacherous men and women enter therem. Combine your efforts in the interest of the race with which you are identified, protect the family of the white night, seen at the risk of your life, is what you have obliged yourself to do. Lift your banner high and keep it there. "Behold set before the an open door." Nobody can lift the standard of race pride and morality for you but the race itself. Often the man least qualified for the position among you is made the head officer. In many instances the man who has not a nickel in the bank is made your treasurer. A man who cannot keep five cents for himself is scarcely able to keep five hundred dollars for you. But with all of your organized activity I charge you with lethargy. Why have you not a hall of your own? It is not for lack of money, it is because you have no confidence in each other. If there is ten cents to be spent, the whole body is likely to be broken up, and the man who has the least money will make the most noise. It is a question on the Negro men of this country that the Negro should be the first to attempt to build a hall. You pay over three hundred dollars a month for one hall in Brooklyn, which amount, paid annually for ten years, would give you over thirty-six thousand dollars, a sum whih would give you a magnificent hall. Think on this proposition, get together, and look out for yourselves, as all other races do. Norfolk Centenary Dead. Norfolk, Va.

Henry Riley of Key West Stops Mad Runaway—Bethel Pastor Arrives. Regular Correspondence of The Ag. Key West, Fla., March 11—Henry Rule, a well-known citizen, probably prevented a serious accident last Tuesday by exercising good judgment and stopping a runaway horse in the business section of the city. The driver had been thrown from the wagon, and the animal was going up Greene street at a very fast pace. Just as it was about to turn around the corner into Dusal street which was crowded with vehicles and pedestrans Mr. Rules jumped forward from the crowd of excited spectators, grasped the reins and, after being dragged a few feet, brought the horse to a standstill. Mr. Rules is to be congratulated for his heroism, because not one of the crowd, which was mostly white, dared to stop the animal. The ministers of this city met last week and organized a Ministers' Union. The object is to bring the various preachers into contact with each other. They will also discuss the topics of interest. The congregations have all been asked to attend the meetings. A similar union was formed about three years ago, by the ministers then in charge but it was not much of a success. The following officers were elected. Rev J E Garrett, president, S L Laws vice president, I D Halls, secretary, J B White, assistant secretary, and E A Cottle, corresponding secretary. Rev J B White the new pastor of Bethel A M F Church, has arrived. He was the last of the pastors to arrive.

Washington Jones of Normal School.
