Minkins Blames Caucasian for Race Admixture CONDITION IN SOUTH Few Southern States Prohibit Whites from Marrying Persons with "Some" Negro Blood. THE NEGRO'S POSITION No Objection to Prohibitive Laws Black Race the Clay; Nation the Potter - Negro Woman Not Immoral. The species are told that the hybridization process began under slavery and continued for forty years. It was not difficult to give the blame for the origi- tacks upon racial purity, as in Europe were hardly any mulattoes, Africans and octooros, while in 1890, years later, the black had increased 20 per cent and the mixed Negroso much that it was impossible approximate it mathematically after pointing out that hardly two then States prohibit white intermar- gage with a person who has some Negro- wood, Mr Minkins said. Few indeed, of the states flatly pro- intermarrage of the races, as they would have were their legislators genu- ly in earnest in their abhorrence of Negro blood. If they had the courage their convictions they would bar a drop of Negro blood. They leave a instinct to infer that they believe are a point at which inter-mixture Negro and white blood is beneficial they have rather to them good and efficient reasons for compromising and ending to lower the legal bar sinister, which, for instance, as South Carolina when she desired to protect some the leading white families who were down to be tainted with Negro blood.

Thousands of Negroes had been lynched for crimes, attempted, or alleged, against white women, but no white man had ever been lynched for a like crime against a Negro woman The speaker denied that the Negro woman was immoral and insisted that the concurrent testimony of unprejudiced investigators proved "the most marvellous advancement in history" had been made by the Negro "along every conceivable line". He advocated better protection, through education and the unwritten law, by both Negroes and whites, for the Negro woman and the Negro home as the most effective means of making the Negro safer and the white woman also as the well-being of the white race in this country is inseparably bound up with that of their fellow citizens in black," adding that "the sooner this is realized the better it will be for both races, even though they are destined to live, as some people be have, as unite day the hand, as separate as the fingers."

The concerns of the new establishment which will be constructed will cost JAMES C. THOMAS $25,000, and will be one of the finest in the United States. It will consist of a beautiful chapel, an elegant show room and an embalming and cooling room The chapel will be very attractive. It will be ninety feet long and capable of seating six hundred persons. It will be built of white maple and the furniture will be of oak, including the organ and pulpit. The windows of the chapel will be decorative in design, portraying Scriptural characters. Both electricity and gas will be used for lighting purposes. In speaking of the new establishment Mr Thomas said "When we move to Harlem we intend to have the latest and finest equipments MRS. ELLA A. THOMAS that can be secured. A corps of competent men and women will be on duty day and night. There will not be a more beautiful chapel in New York." The James C Thomas Undertaking Company has been in existence thirteen years. Intimately associated in business with Mr. Thomas is his wife, Mrs Ella A Thomas, with whom he shares credit for the success of the firm Mrs Thomas is conversant with the undertaking business, assists in embalming, and conducts the affairs of the concern in the absence of her husband She holds prominent positions in many of the secret and benevolent societies of Greater New York. Mr Thomas has the distinction of being in business longer than any other Negro engaged in the undertaking business in New York City, and through his efforts has done much toward opening the field for the operation of a large number of other undertaking establishments in Greater New York owned and managed by Negroes. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1910. 108 ARE AWARDED DIPLOMAS AT MEHARRY Commencement Exercises Held at Ryan Auditorium THE SOUTH AND EDUCATION Attitude of Southerners Encouraging Feature of Race Situation, is Opinion of Rev. R. E. Jones. Special to The New York Age Nashville Lem April 19- The commencement exercises of the Meharry Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Nurse Training College of Walden University were held here last night in the Kymon Auditorium and one hundred and eight young men and women of the race work given diplomas. Rev R. L. Jones, D.D., Editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, delivered the address to the graduating classes. Dr K. L. Boyd, Surgeon in Chief of Mercy Hospital and Professor of Oncology at Meharry, also delivered a short address. Dr Jones spoke to the graduating classes on the Triangle of Life, basing his subject on the principle of an equilateral triangle which he used for its three sides, self knowledge, and respect and self control. In speaking of the ultimate triumph at right which has been assured, he The working of an enlightened constitution of individuals and of races and nations, influenced by the Higher Power, has often repeated constitutional enactments and caused history to reverse itself. Fifty years ago the doctrine of slavery was defended from many a Christian pulpit, while not a few who did not openly defend it gave silent acquiescence to it as a necessary evil. There are today few defendants, if any, of this institution which time has proven to be unjust to those enslaved and detrimental likewise to the slaveholder. We do not mean time as such, but a reversal of opinion which has come about by a change of view based upon conviction which inheres in the sense of right and wrong, which is universal, although at times more or less dormant. South and Negro. "The attitude of the South toward the Negro to-day as compared with its attitude fifty years ago is the most encouraging feature in the race situation to-day. The South has renounced, absolutely, many of its points of contention which it held as concerning the Negro fifty years ago. Then it was a crime to teach the Negro to read and write, to-day there is not a Southern Legislature that does not make some provision for the education of the Negro. Then the Negro had no property holdings, he was property himself, to-day his assets in real estate and personal holdings and bank accounts amount to many millions, and that too, in many cases with the sympathetic help of Southerners. Now, we are not unmindful of what calamity howlers would say and are laying down firm objections to franchiseements and oppressions, all of which are wrong and unnecessary, nevertheless, right in the world as sure as God is in heaven, and ultimately right will triumph. It will triumph in the labor question and it will triumph in the Negro question March of Civilization. No man who puts his cars to the ground and listens to the march of civilization in the corn fields and the cane trunks of the South man who opens his eyes to the development that gives with him much knowledge that the eternal and indirect the principles of right are working upon the Southern consumer and the Southern world so that the white man of the South will respond to the Negro all that he respects to the Negro because the Negro will demand it or will be able to for the good of the cause and the need of the Southern white man as all man with a sense of respectability that most answer to him things as well as in things religious. And what today is a strife of ethical from Southern standpoint in the mis-treatment and oppression of the Negro will as surely change to morrow in the South has changed as concerns other things. If the cause of the Negro has meant God who represents the kingdom of righteousness will see to it that he has Humanity that he gone to the destiny some good remaining in the worst of us and the Negro can trust a great deal to the ultimate working of that eternal and fundamental principle of right, by which every individual race and nation must square its life."

There were present as the guest of Mrs. Smith at the Detroit Study Club party, presenting all the white girls in the City. Detroit After the meeting at Bishop Smith residence Dr. Washington remarked that it was his experience in meeting people in the city he had never met, telling cultured colored women together with so many first, wealthy and cultured white women as true of the meeting at Bishop Smith's house. After the meeting at Bishop Smith's house, the president of the Board of Commerce and J. I. Hudson, the largest merchant in Detroit, drove Dr. Washington to the Country Club where dinner was served. After the dinner at the Country Club he was driven to the McGregg Mission where he spoke for a few minutes. After the meeting at the McGregor Mission he was driven to the Bethel A M E. Church where he addressed an audience of colored and white people that filled every corner of the church and overflowed out into the streets. In spite of the fact that an admission fee was charged, it is stated that two or three hundred people were turned away who could not even get inside the doors of the church. There were present at the meeting at Bethel Church all the leading colored men and women of Detroit, and the enthusiastic high.

CONVICTED OF ATROCIOUS CRIME Earl Vandyke, White, to Serve Eighteen Years for Criminal Assault Virginia Courts Deal Quickly With Slayer of Four-year Rebecca Chanler—Verdict a Popular One. Special to THE NEW YORK ACR Humpton, Va., April 19—One of the most celebrated cases ever tried in Elizabeth County came to an end in this city Saturday when the jury in the trial of Earl V. Vandyke, white, charged with criminal assault, returned a verdict using the defendant's punishment at eighteen years imprisonment in the penitentiary. It is reported on good authority that a minority of the jury was for capital punishment, and the verdict rendered was a compromise. Vandyke will serve a term in the penitentiary for criminally assaulting nine-year-old Rebecca Chanler, colored, on March 31, the child dying from the injuries received a few days later. The whites of Elizabeth County believe that in the conviction of Vandyke the tears and dignity of Elizabeth County have been completely vindicated, while the Negro citizens have become quieted, noting with approval how quickly the law dealt with the murderer of the colored child. I following were some of the comments heard after the jury had returned a verdict I am satisfied that Vandyke had a perfectly fair trial, and I believe that the verdict of the jury if allowed to stand is enough punishment for him. He has never told me that he did not murder my child and I believe him to be guilty, but the verdict as far as punishing him, is enough, and I am satisfied." —Mrs. Kate Chandler, mother of the dead girl "I am not altogether satisfied with the verdict I believe it should have been for capital punishment or nothing at all." —Attorney B A Lewis, who assisted in the prosecution Judge Robinson Refuses New Trial. Just what Circuit Judge Robinson thought of the verdict was made known when overruling a motion filed by Vandyke's attorney for a new trial, said "You have had a fair trial, Mr Vandyke. In my judgment nothing has been done to prejudice you. The crime with which you are charged is a very serious one, and I believe you have been legally convicted, and by due process of law. I am not prepared to say that the verdict of the jury is incorrect. It has been fully rendered against you and for a very bad offense. I sentence you to eighteen years' confinement in the public jail or penitentiary." The Vandyk case has attracted no little attention throughout Virginia. The defendant, who is an oil dealer, was arrested two weeks ago for criminally assaulting nine-year-old Rebecca, whose physical condition was such that she died a short time after the assault occurred. A coroner's jury found Vandyk guilty of the charge and Circuit Judge Robinson at once called a special grand jury which returned a true bill against the prosecutor. The opinion was so prescient that Vandyk should be summarily dealt with that the accused was at once tried, which resulted in his conviction. Vandyk is married. FIGHTING MEAT TRUST Mrs. Anita-Comfort Brooks, President of Gotham Club of New York, Active in Boycott—Accuses Trust of Selling American Public "Mummified" Foodstuffs. In the right being waged against the meat trust for a reduction in prices, Mrs Anita Comfort Brooks, president of the Gotham Club of New York, and who resides at the Hotel St James, is playing a prominent part. Mrs Brooks has been actively engaged in promoting the meat boycott, and has added materially in arraying a large number of her sex against the meat trust. She declares that a peaceable re- MRS. ANITA COMFORT-BROOKS olution is now going on in the United States, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf The meat trust is accused of dealing out to the American people "mummied" foodstuffs in quantities and prices to suit the barons, and that the trust's strong line of defense is its cold storage houses or morgues. The assertion is made by Mrs. Brooks that in New York City eggs are put in cold storage at eighteen and nineteen cents a dozen, and sold months later for fifty-five and sixty cents a dozen. Millions and millions of pounds of foodstuffs are also put in cold storage and sold at exorbitant prices, it is claimed. The Gotham Club of New York has suggested to the New York Federation of Women's Clubs that a permanent statue of "Purity" be erected on Broadway, between 45th and 46th streets, the cost of the erection to come from popular subscriptions. Mrs Brooks is a former resident of St Louis and is deeply interested in the progress of the Negro. She has written a number of songs which are now on the market BISHOP GAINES' STAND ON LOCAL OPTION. Special to The New York Age. Albany, N Y, April 19—Among those to speak in opposition to the Brackett-Gray local option bill for cities before the legislative joint committee a few days ago was Bishop W J Gaines of Atlanta, Ga. Bishop Gaines stated that he had been a prohibitionist for fifty years, yet he had found since state-wide prohibition had been adopted in Georgia that it had not checked the consumption of liquor, but that the people secured it by blind tigers and other secret ways whenever they wished. He said that many purchased "near beer," but he thought it was near whisky. Bishop Gaines has presided over Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and California. His diocese embraces East Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and the New England states. He is also President of the Board of Publication of the A M E Church and First Vice President of the House of Bishops Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS $198,540.25 IN DOLLAR MONEY A. M. E.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Baltimore, Md., April 20—Leading white Republicans and Independent Democrats are considering plans to test the constitutionality of the grandfather's clause in the new municipal election law for Annapolis, which practically disfranchises all the Negro voters in Maryland's state capital. The matter is now pending in the United States Court and will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary. The proposition of Gov Crothers and other Democratic politicians to have a case involving the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment docked in the United States Court by Attorney-General Isaac Lobe Straus is now regarded with enthusiasm, it is said, by Maryland's Attorney-General. It is said that he regards his side of the case as being almost sure to lose, and that his standing as a lawyer would be lowered somewhat in bucking against such a proposition as having the courts declare the Amendment invalid.

A Low Rents BRONX Adient Reports of Imminent Changes-Auditor Tyler Offers settlement Prizes-Superintendent Bruce Uas School Problema Dis- saged. Washington, I. C. April 20—It being only a matter of about ten days before the new recorder of deeds, Hon. Henry I. Moore Johnson, will occupy his office here and there being considerable political agitation stirred up the capital by visiting politicians from all parts, political gossip is very much at ease, especially among those sources usually considered authentic. It is claimed that the long expected changes in the high official cabal are to continue to occur, and that this will result in the resignation of the present register of the treasury. Hon William T. Vernon in June of this year, or before that the register is deferred, will also hand in his resignation to the same time, thus creating two vacancies in offices usually held by colored men. While a portion of the white press is the main hashtag in the appointment of a white minister in Mr Vernon's position, original opinion holds this antiticipation incorrect. Although there is possibility of several developments before June, the fact seems cut and dried that Hon John C. Napier of Tennessean is going to be mediated. Should Mr Vernon retire from the June as the talk of the individuals that he will, the cause of his resignation will be traced largely to the defeat of Hon. Chester I. Long of Kansas in the recent content for his son in the Senate here, Mr Vernon is now the nominee who in all probabilities will succeed the present register, is a man of splendid energy and mental and social capability. Jake Robert H Terrell of the Municipal Court will speak in Pittsburgh on April 14 to fore the well-known Locusts of that city. Henry K. W. Tyler, auditor of the treasury of the navy, has evidenced his ability to take the lead in social upheaval in the interest he has awakened through at the northwest settlement of the people of the capital by his offspring. He kept lawns attended by children in the age of eighteen years during a few months this summer. A reward of cash prizes made by him is accepted by the Howard Park Foundation Association and committees are being arranged to among the proper parties to judge the merits of the competing young landscape gardens. The lack of interest in this work is particularly felt throughout Least Park and in the vicinity of Howard University. Henry C. Perry, auditor of Philadelphia was the capital a few days this week at the residence of Mr. David Wurtz. The leading principals of the 10th, 11th and 11th divisions have been holding monthly meetings, under the direction of Assistant Superintendent R. Bruce to discuss school problems, and to discuss the progress from time to time with discussions from prominent educators of this At the meeting of March 10 Dr. Wernam E永nam entered into the discussion of pupil self-government, which was presented by Principals S. Bruce of the Wormley School Dr. E永nam gave thorough and scholarly criticism of the pupil self-government movement, especially as it appears in the Wilson L. Gill 'School City Plan' in short, Dr. E永nam characterized the Gill as unnatural, imprudent and precious. towing to the increased interest manifested in the committee meetings of building principals, and the desire of the grated school teachers in the assembly meeting was held in the Assembly Hall of the charles Summer School Building with a goodly attendance of grated teachers and friends. At this meeting Prof. Edward W. Prine of M. M. High School, an interesting and instructive talk on How to Use the Library. The discussion was led by Supervisors Martion P. Shudd John C. Nalle, James W. W. Inglegrum, M. F. M. Herrert, and Mrs. L. F. M. Herrert, stresses of primary instruction, and Dr. Luce F.

Wade, who was well known in Newark and other cities, died at his residence 86 South 21st Street. Irving, N.J., died at the library of the Holy Sepulchre, Newark, N. J. The death of Mr. Wade was so sudden that even his most intimate friends were ignorant of their sad loss. Opinions differ as to the real cause of his death. He was stated that the deceased died from scarlet fever his burial was within 24 hours. Mr Wade was one of the most genial and companionable of men, perfectly unassuming despite his brilliant appearance. He was employed as a letter carrier in the city post office, a regular correspondent of The New York Age, a strict commument of the Roman Catholic Church, a member of several clubs and a lover of his race. The sad news of the death and peculiar illness of Mr. Wade hgs given to his wife, who was born in Maryland, and at his death was 30 years of age.

Williams, the author of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution died in Portland, Oregon. Throughout a career beginning in the middle of the last century he had been the firm and unwavering friend of the black man. But these words of the Amendment will forever stand not only as the enduring monument to his name and that friendship but the greatest constitutional bulwark of the Negro's citizenship. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude Judge Williams not only prepared this text of the Amendment but was a potent factor as a United States Senator from Oregon and a commanding Western political figure in securing its adoption in 1870. But at an earlier day in the stirring struggle in 1839 which brought Oregon in as a state, the mettle of Judge Williams was tried and rang true. Though a Democrat at that time and though a large number of Democrats in the Oregon constitutional convention advocated its admission as a slave state, Judge Williams with fiery eloquence and irresistible logic swayed Oregon to the cause of freedom and justice Subsequently as United States Senator from Oregon, Attorney-General under President Grant, Mayor and first citizen of Portland, he continued his high and invaluable service to the freedom and unlift of the Negro. He was indeed "The Grand Old Man of Oregon." Judge Williams belongs to that passing grand old class of noble New England men and women who fought in the vail of freedom's fight. Their lives are forever enshrined in the hearts and memories of a grateful people. Their souls go marching on. MARTIN MORIA DELGADO President Gomez of Cuba on last Saturday appointed Martin Morua Delgado Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce, succeeding Ortelio Foyo. Delgado, formerly President of the Senate, is the first Negro to hold a Cuban Cabinet portfolio. His present large position in the affairs of his Republic is a great step in advance over his former position, the highest then which any member of his race had attained. In the last Cuban Congress there were twelve Negro Congressmen and two or three Negro Senators. It is a source of some consolation and genuine satisfaction to the Negroes of America to note the political success achieved by their cousins in Cuba. While the colored citizens of America have seemed at some times to be slipping backwards politically, there is no question but that the colored citizens of Cuba have been gaining ground steadily. General Maceo led a mighty host of valiant Negroes for many years against the tyranny of Spain and the independence of Cuba was the result. The consideration they gained in war they are firmly resolved not to lose in peace. They are following just as confidently as ever they followed the great and lamented Maceo his worthy successor, Delgado. They have organized and feeling themselves worthy they are insistent upon being counted. Cubans first, last and all the time, they are also Negroes when discriminated against as Negroes. The Negroes of Cuba furnish an inspiring political example to the Negroes of America. THE BISHOP AT ALBANY We have always had the highest respect for Bishop Wesley J Gaines of Atlanta, Georgia. We have appreciated his conservative judgment and his observance of the fitness of things. But the venerable Methodist leader slightly oversteps the borders of discretion when he comes into New York state and opposes local option. This Bishop Gaines did at the Albany hearing last week on the Brackett-Gray hill. Neither his pastoral position among his people generally nor the fact that New York is embraced in his episcopal diocese can hardly be strained to make his recent effort anything short of an interference in New York political conditions. But more than this we question the wisdom of any Negro bishop attacking the greatest statutory boons and benefits to the Negro. Local option is a measure in that direction in highest accord with democracy and the principle of local autonomy It is a state matter purely. It is reported to us that no other speaker on the bill either clergyman or layman aside from Bishop Gaines came from outside the State of New York. The impropriety of Bishop Games' action is obvious. The Negro churchman high and low should not place himself in opposition to any effort toward the reform of the liquor evil. The interests of the church are paramount to the liquor interests THE DEATH OF MENELIK. Menelik II, Negus of Abyssinia, or King of All Ethiopia, as he styled himself, has been officially reported dead. Thus there comes to an end the career of the greatest of recent native African rulers. His reported death at divers times during the last few years has kept the eve of the civilized world fixed upon his kingdom.* The able reign of the astute and picturesque old monarch was a surprising and successful defiance of the designing nations. The tremendous burden of not only conducting the troubled internal affairs, but of balking the greed of scheming Europeans falls upon the shoulders of Lij Evassu, the son of Menelik's daughter, whom the late King Menelik designated in June, 190- Menelik III being now only twenty years of age Ras Tasmania will act as regent The new government has started off with a vigor that promises a successful future. Queen Taitou, widow of Menelik, together with several oglistains, attempt to seize the government, were immediately arrested and imprisoned. Now that England is withdrawing from Somaliland and the Mad Mullah is unrestrained In Eyassu will perhaps be forced quite early to take the hold to repel the Mullah's invasions. Menelik ruled his own people as a benevolent despot. He exterminated an expedition of invading Italians in 1890 at Adowa, and to-day the name of Menelik is a household term of extermination in the communities of Italy. Though disclaiming direct relations with other Africans, the world considered Abyssinia a Negro kingdom. The death of the great African monarch as therefore a loss of the African race. That Menelik III. may successfully wear the mantle of his grandfather, Menelik III. will, much much to all African peoples. HARLEM'S BUSINESS MEN The massing of the large Negro population in the Harlem district of New York City has been the making successful of many Negro profession and business men Within the region bounded by Fifth and Seventh avenues and One Hundred and Thirty-third and One Hundred and Thirty-sixth streets, there are actually scores of successful Negro businesses of various kinds and of Negro professional men of the various kinds These business men have little complaint to make of the patronage they receive from their race Generally speaking, we are gratified to save the colored people of Harlem patronize their own color when they can thus secure the commodity they desire, the price, quality and other things being equal Now these successful business men liberally patronized by their race owe a duty to their race. They receive their money very largely from their own people and they should give as much of it back to them as possible. All of those Negroes who own or operate businesses and property should employ Negro labor. The real estate dealers, whose name is rapidly becoming legion, should employ Negro janitors, plumbers, painters and carpenters. The churches about to be erected by all means should employ competent Negro mechanics. The doctors should employ Negro nurses. Every Negro who can so spend a dollar with a Negro thereby serves not only his race but himself at the same time. The race should have long since passed its silly period of pealousy and white skin preference and patronage. Competent men in every avenue of occupation can now be found within the race. The time is now when it behooves every Negro to help one another. COLORED ENUMERATORS The taking of the census is now well under way. We should be thankful that in the taking of the census between 1,200 and 1,500 colored enumerators are engaged in this work in different parts of the country. This is by far a larger number than we have ever had before, and we feel quite sure that the employment of so many colored people to assist in the taking of the census is going to result in getting more accurate information as to the number of Negroes in the United States, and, also, as to their advancement in education, property, and business. In this matter President Taft certainly helped the entire race and should have the race's grateful appreciation.

THE SINS OF THE BISHOPS Key Hayne Eloquently Appeals for Impurement of Grafting Churchmen. To Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE, It is with no small degree of pleasure that I pen you these few lines, to congratulate you on the editorials you have written against the moral turpitude of certain chief pastors in the A M E church, who may be described thus: "They are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand, they all look to their own quarter." Isa 1:2. Their greed for money has made them as the "Publicans" in the time of Christ, and in later times, like "the farmer-generals years gone in France, who collected the money out of the people at any cost, regardless where and how the people got it, and the amount taken was with out limit." We need no stronger case in point than we find in the Bishop of this first Episcopal district, against whom there are so many charges. His wanton and crooked courses, and open corruption, are at hand, and if they were written for the eye of the public would read like a romantic tale. All of the facts in the case are in the possession of the writer, and can or will be given the public for inspection, if the good prelate dares to deny them. What I am saving is no secret in South Carolina, and if the venerable prelate thinks I am committing a slander on him let him take me to the courts, then will the general church, and the civilized world will see this Bishop in his worst form—an enemy to himself, his race, his church, and his God. The brethren of the New Jersey Conference don't know the Bishop, he is beyond the bounds of repentance and is on the verge of his great and certain full. No man on the bench has his great tyranny done more to crush men within their rights in the church than he But, happily for the church, we are now living in another and a more enlightened age. We cannot only discover every moral and spiritual relation on the bench but we are able to smoke him off his pulpit sentiment, through the columns of such excellent journals as Butler and other papers that are engaged in this great moral and spiritual reform. It is remarkable as strange, and yet not unexpected of the Bishop under charges, that he should preach so loudly against moral turpitude, and he himself should become a insert of his own swine-flea, and seem receivable that a Bishop of a sound mind should or would allow himself to be charged with the same crimes on every district he has ever served since 1888. He surely must be greatly afflicted with sensitiv There is but one thing left for the other Bishops who are not under censure to do immediately, and that is to order an investigation of all these charges or rumors that are rife against those Bishops that are evil spoken of. It does seem that what nations do by their bloody wars the great A.M.F. Church can and ought to obtain by the decisions of its great tribunals, for we know that unchristian passions can only be laid to rest or satisfied by these just tribunals, furthermore, it is by them that brothers will become brothers again in the connection, it is then that the Gospel will resume its great empire in the church, therefore, let us all confide in one presiding senior Bishop of the church, and a majority of the Bishops, who are not censured, who can and will decide upon their own conscientious im- the church will be disbanded, and those who are now clamoring for revenge against the tyrants and bishops of grafts will return together in peace from this Christian tribunal to the loom and the plow, and the work of the church. (Rev) IOS T HAWNT Brooklyn N.Y. AMERICA AND LIBERIA Secretary Knox Should Have Support of All Thinking People, Concludes Washington Post America's growth in and birth rate than the little republics of Europe back to 1820, when the American Colonization Society purchased land from the natives and started a movement of colonization by American Negroes. These early efforts were followed by the activities of societies formed for the same purpose in Virginia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Louisiana whose operations were supported by the federal government of the day. America's guardianship of Liberia is one policy of the United States which has, for nearly a century, been uphold equally by Democrats and Republicans. Indeed, in 1832 a committee of the House of Representatives recommended that the United States take over Liberia as a colony. In 1847, failing such action, the American holders of the territory set it up as an independent republic. Prior to the Civil War a naval squadron stationed on the west coast of Africa lent aid and assistance to the Liberians in their troubles with the natives. In 1850 the Secretary of the Navy was authorized by Congress to turn over an American army and assistance to Liberia. On request of 1862 provides for interment by the United States when solicited, and from 1850 on the good offices of this government have been drawn with great frequency into the external difficulties of Liberia. Wise action upon these recommendations will be the discharge of a national duty and a contribution to the civilization and development of the vast continent where the United States has taken an unsignificant part, but which in years to come is destined to be a great field of commerce and enterprise. Glance at the map will show that all Africa, save this one spot, has come under the domination of one or another European power. Center of American Influence The present question, then, is whether this one American spot in the great Dark Continent is to be obliterated, or whether it is to be preserved as a future gateway for commerce and a center of American influence. Liberia seems discontinuant but it is interesting to reflect that the distance from Liberia to the center of Broward is no greater than that from New York to Saint Damascus, and is with two thirds of the distance from San Francisco to Holliday and from New York to Montana is not much more than these ninths of the distance from New York to Montana. My view is that Liberia should be an important site in the millions of Americans of the Atlantic coast, and should lend itself to great national importance or excellent hold to the emergence and intrigue of the Negro race in this century for what others may in time to consider to be need of a continent. The report of the commission and its recommendations have received most attention, study and the part of the Department of State and the conclusion is reported that the action on the suggestions is the result of the efforts of the nation to community which owes its existence to the United States and is the nation's ward. It is the purpose of the department of the President approve and so direct by letter to the Secretary of Government designed to a compilate these articles. The United States minister, Mr. Lincoln Lives, is now on his way to Montreal on the earlier Birmingham and he is directed to sound the Liberian government in his delegate to an compilate the ends in view. In entering upon negotiations so far to American traditions, so beneficial to Liberian, and so in keeping with the position of the United States is a responsible world power, Secretary Knox should have the cordial support of all thinking people. Indeed, one could scarcely read the President's message, the report of the Secretary of State and the findings of the Commission and reach any different conclusion earth.

Newport News Star --- Regardless of all that is being said and done against the Negro, the faults are in himself more than in anyone else that he is a weak and impatient people. As long as the Negro does not respect the church the Sabbath and the home is long as he neglects his family and wastes his time in idleness and folly as long as he fails to untie and latch to lift up the race as long as he fails to recognize leadership among his own people so long will he remain servile dependent in other folk.

ABYSSINIA AND SOMALILAND. THE OLD TAINT OF BARBARISM Times Scathingly Arraigal Tu neace's Miscarriage of Justice. "Disgraceful in its haste, stocking every sense of decency," is the inaugural comment of one of the counsel for the State of Tennessee upon Governor Patterson's act in pardoning George Copper at the very moment when the Supreme Court of the State had affirmed his conviction and sentence of twenty years imprisonment for the murder of ex-Senator Carmack. That will be the prevailing sentiment in every civilized community in the United States. We do not say that there are unevolved communities in this Union, but wherever in an community approval is express that the outrageous Executive parole there will be found a trace of barbarism that of barbarians to which some communities in the South—or, rather, some individuals in certain Southern communities and then revert. It was the effect of barbarians that struck down women and again the old barbarians in the pen of Governor Patterson's wrote and signed the parlor. The foundation difference inization and barbarians is clothes and manners. It is a plants trial custom, puts out individual impulses, and allows persons to respect the court. The view that the Cooper's actions to society and that was worthy of an April hunter of Bonnie Governor Patterson view of his relation to the society has sworn to respect and to a fragrant aboriginal and savage Nothing could be more shocking to sense of decency, or more obvious to the spirit of civilization than Governor Patterson's statement of his treaty granting the pardon. The men were convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. As to Colonel Cooper, the Supreme Court has just confirmed the conviction, ordering a retrial in the case of Robin Cooper. Thereupon Governor Patterson writes, "In my opinion, neither of the defendants is guilty. They have not had a fair and impartial trial, but were convicted contrary to it and evidence." The Governor overturn both the trial court and the Suprem Court. The trial was not fair, because the conviction contrary to evidence Upon both these points the Supreme Court ruled after hearing and deliberation. All this the Governor disregards. He declares that he is "thoroughly biliar with the records." It cannot be denied that the Supreme Court was first equally familiar with them Majesties, where such things are done that is a Government of men, not of laws. Governor Patterson's personal relation to the Cooper's and to the case qualified him for the use of the paradoxing power He was an intimate personal friend of Colonel Cooper Colonel Cooper was one of his chief political supporters. He was a witness for the defense at the trial. Every consideration that should have weighed with a civilized Governor in a civilized community ought to have restrained him from this act. The case gives new strength to the argument that the paradox power should be vested in a board, and never committed to an individual. But more than that, it is a new and amenable evidence of the persistence of the barbarian spirit in the South's spirit which the enlightened men of that part of the Union with real and honest devotion to higher ideals have given drive out by inculcating the wretched spirit of respect for law and justice.

President Adolf MEANING OF THE CENSUS Legal Fight Has Been Going On For Two Years - Court Advises Principals to Adjust All Differences. Rev M W Gilbert, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, scored a big victory in the Supreme Court a few days ago when Justice Ford denied the application for a permanent injunction, made by several members of the congregation, the suit having been filed to restrain Dr Gilbert from serving as pastor of the church. The legal right to oust Dr Gilbert has been waging for two years. On one side has been arrayed Dr. Gilbert, Roger T Batt, James E. Taylor, and J B Wood. On the other, X W Jackson, James Wells, William H. Holloway, E D Horman, W C Wilson and others In rendering a decision in the case Justice Ford reviewed the testimony submitted by both sides, calling particular attention to the fact that the principle of the complete separation of church and state in this country prevents the civil court from hearing religious matters, even where property rights are denied or where the church has deposited no clearly from its own rules and principles as to oppress a member and thus deprive him of his just rights, and he called particular attention to the fact that both sides had submitted their differences to the Perth council for adjudication. matter that the testimony showed that the Investigating Committee Council Mr Jackson had rattled to pledge to the council and whispered that it then pending until with the elements that greeted them and although Mr Jackson's friends had denied that the defence promise to the council, the accepting had been advised to assist their friends on this matter that Dr Mac Arthur and Judge repputable witnesses, had test such a promise had been made because Mr Jackson and returned to the committee and their case thoroughly, that the evidence conclusively that an evidence had been entered into to decide the decision of the Permanent Lester called declared that after submitting all this to the arbitration of the Permanent Council of which Dr. MacArthur was chairman, the decision as decided by the Permanent Council would have been final, and that the civil court cannot be expected to go behind with a decision Justice Ford then acts as a friend of the Negroes, who told them well. He admonished them when they have any religious differences, when their denomination has taken on a matter, to let the matter there, and entreated them to show much self-respect for themselves and the race to bring such matters to the courts. On this matter the Judge spoke most feelingly. He declared that he saw no reason whatever for interning in this matter, that it was clear that Dr. Gilbert had been exercising his rights legally, and that he had the support both of his people and his denomination, and therefore, he had to find in favor of the defendant, Dr Matthew W.

The public, as a rule, 1s not very much interested mm the actions of per- formers other. than ‘their work belore fapfovtlightsy but in connection: with, ‘is farce comedy, “Who is headliner at the Victoria Theatre This Week” there is a story which most likely will prove interesting, and will give one an oppor- tunity to learn how inconsistent some white performers can be when it comes to the color question. There 1s in existence in this country an organization known as the White Rats, made up of white vaudeville per- formers. One of the objects of the as- sociation 1s to promote the interests of the theatrical professions Another law (evidently an unwritten one) 15 that the progress of the colored saude- villian should be retarded Just how both aims can be accomphshed in the Jong run 1s difficult to understand, An ulumatum has been issued to the managers cf the large vaudeville houses in New York that no colored artist shall head a bill over a white vaude- villian. Why such pernicious activity should be shown by this body which de- sires to help advance the interests of the theatrical profession 1s not known ‘When word was given out that Bert ‘Williams was to take a flyer in vaude- ville at a large figure, the White Rats began to inquire if the colored come- slian was to be headlmer at the various variety houses in Greater New York. Such impartial managers as Percy Wil- fiams and Willie Hammerstein answer- ed in the affirmative, which brought forth a volley of protests from the White Rats, and the managers tinally Pombed that they | would ‘not make rt Williams a headhner So, this week at Hammerstein's Maude Raymond supposedly heads the bill, her name appearing first on_ all Raper. Next comes ‘the name of Bert filliams, but in type twice the size of Miss Raymond's, in which he 1s re- ferred to as “the greatest and most original comedian in the world” — In electne lights in front of the Victoria Theatre “Bert Williams” can be seen dt a distance, and im the lobby of the theatres his “pictures are. conspicuous everywhere It cannot be recalled that a “Readimer” has ‘ever received. such Barren honors as, Miss, Raymond, but the unwritten law of the White Rats has not been violated.

FRED R. MOORE, CHAIRMAN Editor New York Age Presides at Morris Brown Educational Mass Meeting. The educational mass held in Bethaida Church last Sunday afternoon for Morris Brown College was in many respect interesting and will result in great good. Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, presided, and when the devotional exercises had been conducted by Dr. Helen Millard of the Presbyterian Church and the songs were sung by the church chair and Rev T. F. Sayers, the pastor, had led in prayer Mr. Moore spoke as follows. "It is a pleasure to me to add my contribution to the aid of schools and churches, and in fact any other move good of the Negro people of the country regardless to the locality. I thank God for that class of men and women in every section of the country who dothings and who keep making better the youth of the race before them. We could not engage in a more reputable work that into them but am thus in the phases of education and the choices of the Negro people of this country." Miss Gina R Jackson secretary of the W. W. A. and social work in New York was introduced to said It was a pleasure to speak with you about the importance that being a social worker has to the lives of children and adults in the community and to the highest good working with them. The work is carried out in the community by the W. W. A. and social work in New York was introduced to said Dr. Frederick H. Luther said I believe he really is a teacher at the Negro. It is made other peoples strong good and powerful, and it will of the same forces as property is imparted to trained and skilled. It has the schoolhouse, the schoolhouse, the schoolhouse, the school platform the bills of Congress business and the stump. We want it to encourage the youth to develop the innate and Christian powers of his life and character. I have visited Morris Brown when that splendid man, Bishop H. M Turner, the power of his life and character on the field, were putting that institution before the country. They did so with little money, but with great faith and it stirred the race all over the country and they felt proud of what was being said and done by the Negro for the Negro. I want to communicate to the Negro that they have done and are now doing to make this one of the useful institutions of the country. Dr W W Beckett secretary of missions for the A M E Church said his institution he represents. The institution is a humble and encouraging work. This school is deserving and should be encouraged not because it is of the A M E Church, but it shows what the Negro has done and can do for himself. Mr Stinson has made a name himself by teaching every book and corner of the country not only among our own people but the white people of the South who do not care for considering or educating the Negro open their columns, editorially and otherwise to the work of George Washington and Georgia, led by Bishop Turner, ex-President Flipper, for seven years furnished examples for the rest of our race in doing gpractical educational work. New Yorkers make a step in the dialogue when they support and advocate opinion stands next to Mr Washington in sentiments that will do great good for the race. Dr Richard D Stinson made the closing forceful and tactful speech of the meeting upon the subject Education results in Life and Character. Said he. As a race we have no time for theories, joblessies or anything that blindses. Which is the right or wrong education? Let us save the laws and girls of the race and add them in their contribution to the progress and development of the nation. Morris Brown is being printed with the facilities and money in hand. The school hopes to be of a more practical and common sense use for the community where it is used and the people in general. The strength of the school has been determined to differ from those upon the way it is being taught. The teachers are well trained and well equipped to handle the needs of the students. We hope that the school will be a success and that the students will be well prepared for the future. tered Mr. Lumas Entertained was inducted and presented in a happy vein Mrs Taylor who welcomed and entertained the Mrs Lomax, who had a kind word for each and interestingly told some of her experiences as a bishop's wife and of the help a woman can be in the TO LET- Private parties and dining room of the Progressive Art and Embroidery Club for reception, whist parties, musicals, etc. inquire 21 W. 182d st.

Walker of Augusta, Ga., said to be one of the most powerful ministers of the Baptist denomination, has closed one of the most successful ten days' revivals ever witnessed here between 300 and 1,000 were turned away, because of the bad weather at the Ebenser Baptist Church at 11 o'clock services last Sunday. At 3.30 p.m. Dr Walker addressed a meeting of men at the Presbyterian Church. This meeting was in the interest of the Y M C A branch. At the close of the address a standing vote of thanks was extended the speaker, and he thanked the people for their opposition to what some style "Jim Crow" branches of the Y M C and said he did not think much of Negroes who made so much noise about their place in white organizations. Rev Walker concluded this part of his address by saying a majority of the Negroes want Y M C A branches, and it is therefore foolish for the small minority to continue oppose "Co-op" organizations and "Hang an Aim in Life" were the subjects with which he closed The reverend's remarks were especially causal in referring to the lack of co-operation on the part of Negroes, North, West and East. All our banks are in the South, he continued of the banks of an island with which he is connected which is capitalized at $150,000, and paying a nice dividend to its stockholders, with forty-five branch offices and furnishing employment to a great number of people. The speaker said he would like to eliminate from the Negroes' social life the word "women" and "up to date." He would like to have every Negro arrested that he heard using these words. Too many of our young people are having what they consider a good time" concluded the speaker. The plea he made to the young men to have a purpose in life made him laugh, the world better by reason of their work. Dr. Walker made a great impression.
