TO TEST VALIDITY OF ORDINANCE Negroes To Attack Constitutionality of New Segregation Law PASSED BY DEMOCRATS Make It Lawful to Segregate the Races in the City of Baltimore by Vote of 16 to 5 Speeches Made Against Measure by Councilmen Cummings, Binswanger and Ulrich-What Leading Lawyers Think Special to THE NEW YORK AON. Baltimore, Md, Dec 13—Members of the race are already making preparations to test the constitutionality of the race segregation ordinance, passed last week by the First Branch of the City Council by a vote of 16 to 5. Prominent white Republicans have made known that they will aid the Negro citizens in their fight against such an unjust ordinance. Some of the leading lawyers in the city have declared that the measure will be held invalid by the courts, as it is unconstitutional to make it a law to compel a race to live in a prescribed territory. The two principal speeches against the passage of the ordinance were made by Messrs. Cummings, Binswanger and Ulrich. The Republicans voted against the measure, and the Democrats in its favor. Councilman Cummings said it was "always regretable and unpleasant" to him "that matter calculated to arouse feeling should come up in the Council for discussion and decision." Continuing, he said: The passage of this ordinance is based upon mistaken presumptions. It is presumed and charged that Negroes are invading white neighborhoods that is, they are without law or reason and regardless of the rights of the owners of property in those localities taking possession of property wrongfully. Such is so far from the true situation that I unhesitatingly say that there is not a house in Baltimore in what was or is a white neighborhood that ever was, is or will be, bought or rented, except such has or will be bought or rented not only without the approval and consent, but at the earnest solicitation of the white owner or agent of that house. Who, therefore is to blame, the owner or agent, or the purchaser and tenant? Mistaken Presumption. "Again, it is charged and presumed that Negroes change their residences, or wish to do so, to become offensive in white neighborhoods. This is equally untrue. No decent, respectable, law-abiding colored person has so changed his home, except to surround himself and family with better home conditions; to breathe more and purer air; to have more and better sanitary conditions; to make his wife and children look better, learn more, feel better, live better in the sight of God and man, and become to their city and state more useful citizens—could people have a more laudable ambition? Are not the thousands of dollars spent for our education, the many seminars and lectures preached and delivered, the manly, gentlemanly conduct and example set by the good white men and women of this community, are all of these not to be profited by? Are we not to follow the good? Must we be forced by brusalism of this kind to turn our fares to the dark and cloudy past, or shall we by encouragement turn with a smile and with eternal hope with us in our bosom press forward to the sunlit of a glorious future? "We are ganged by the standard of our public sentiment. We rise or fall, or sink or swim in estimate in which our public sentiment is judged. It will be the best. It will more can have sad of this ordinance shall be passed the contrary to public sentiment citizens. To that same conservative public sentiment proverbial of our beloved city has assured at all times to the square deal. "It is this same we want servative public sentiment which ever encourage the decent ducious, law abiding citizens of the city to better the conditions of their life—to work hard and earn their earnings to educate and Christianize their families to fall steadily in the footprints of the world have made the Anglo Saxon civil The Marking of the "Dead Line" It is this same wise, conservative in the sentiment which will encourage us to get better churches, better school houses and better homes, and we ever stand as a bulwark against the station of this kind which seeks to guard our commendable and pro gressive growth, which marks out for us 'a dead line, saying to us, "Thus far shalt thou go, and no further" "Let this ordinance pass, and its advocates, in the midst of the criticism which will follow will, at least have the assurance that, according to, heir admission, it was passed in defiance of the public sentiment of this community." Mr. Ulrich challenged any friend of the measure to say that in voting for its passage he was not violating his oath as a member of the City Council, which oath declared that he would support the Constitution of the United States. "This ordinance is so plainly and clearly violative of the principles of the Constitution as to need no argument in that respect," said Mr. Ulrich. He declared that the ordinance would never be enforced, and referred to a number of instances in which laws on the statute books are not carried out. Mr Binswanger said the passage of the ordinance would be a step backward in the city, as well as in the State. In his argument declaring the measure unconstitutional Mr Binswanger drew attention to the fact that on the advice of Attorney General Straus, Governor Crothers vetoed a bill passed by the General Assembly providing for the segregation of the races in Crusfield, Md. The Attorney General held that the act was unconstitutional Continuing his argument, Mr Bins wanger said the ordinance was unfair, as well as unconstitutional, because the majority of the residents of Baltimore are white people "There is no such thing as race supremacy in Baltimore," said the Fourteenth Ward representative. He declared that efforts should be made to educate and uplift the colored race and that the colored people should be given moral support in their endeavors to better their condition JERSEY CLUB INCORPORATES Loading Men of Essex County, New Jersey, Members of the Kismet Club — Objects of New Organization Special to THE NEW YORK AGM.

Evanston, Ill., Dec 13—Evanston is strictly a residence city, and the population is made up very largely of wealthy people. The colored population is about 2,700.

WASHINGTON MAKES SPEECHES IN CHICAGO Race Leader Carrics Out Formidable Program During Short Stay PRESS ON NOTABLE VISIT All Papers Declare Much Inspiration Was Derived From Optimistic Utterances of Educator Special to THE NEW YORK AOE. Chicago, Ill, Dec. 13—While in this city last week Dr Booker T Washington experienced a most strenuous existence, and was on the go from the moment he set foot in the "Windy City." It was his first visit to the country's second greatest city since his return from abroad, and although he has been to Chicago many times and on important occasions, the eagerness of the public to see and hear him on his recent visit was extraordinary. The colored newspapers of Chicago point with pride to the visit of the noted educator, asserting that the presence of the Tuskegeean was productive of much good. Speaking of Dr Washington's visit, the Chicago Detender says. Booker T. Washington takes Chicago by storm. He speeches in Evanston and Chicago spoke volumes and the popdios is good he tarried awhile with us. Under the caption Washington's Great Influence," the Illinois Idea comments If Dr. Booker T. Washington has done as much good for the Negro in other states as he has accomplished in Chicago and Illinois, he will yet live to see the most wonderful human race development of modern times. Wherever one two or more students of Tuskegee School are found there is an inspiration for the boy or girl, the man or woman to imitate their conduct and follow their example. It is a safe prediction that in less than ten years the shiftless, no account and criminal element of the race in Chicago would be extinct and their places taken by a new generation made bright and wise and high minded by the teachings of Dr. Washington. Two trips a year by the great educator among our people would remove the thorns that line the pathway and strew the road well beautiful flowers. During the shorter space of two days Dr. Washington successfully carried out a programme of public addresses that has never been equaled in Chicago. This is what he did. 1 Sunday morning from 11 to 10 o'clock addressed the Drexil Boulevard Congregational Church 3 Guest of honor at the home of a wealthy citizen of Evanston, Ill 4 Addressed the Congregational Church, at Evanston. 5 Addressed the Ebeneezer A M E Church, of Evanston 6 Addressed an immense audience Sunday night in Orchestra Hall The morning papers stated that fully two thousand were turned away from the Orchestra Hall. 7 Addressed the Olivet Baptist Church 8 Addressed the congregation at Bethel A. M. E Church 9 On Monday afternoon addressed the faculty and students of the Chicago University 10 Addressed the Negro Press Press Club, composing the Chicago Conservator, the Chronicle, the Broad-Ax, the Illinois Idea and the Defender Those present were Dr A J. Carey, Julius Taylor, J S Abbott, S B Turner, William H Neighbors and Carey Lewis Dr Washington heartily congratulated the newspaper men for their enterprise and increasing importance 11 Addressed the Tuskegee Alumni Association before an immense gathering at Quinn Chapel 12 Addressed the Local Negro Business League York Age BE SURE AND BUY A COPY This Section will be published in magazine form, the size of the pages to be 10x14. It will contain articles by prominent writers and will be illustrated. PRICE 10 CENTS FOR THE ENTIRE NUMBER --- ISSUED At the Chicago University and in the middle of the afternoon every available space in the spacious Mandel Hall was completely occupied. Before these doctors of laws, of philosophy, of science, of art and assembled students Dr. Washington rose grandly to the occasion, and delivered a stirring appeal for justice and a more generous interest in the struggles of his race to emancipate itself from the thrill of ignorance and prejudice that profoundly stirred the vast audience Address Delivered at Quinn Chapel. Perhaps the most interesting of this series of addresses was the one delivered at Quinn Chapel under the auspices of the Tuskegee Alumni Association. There were present about thirty-five of these graduates. They constitute a fine group of young people, and each one of them is giving a good account of himself in this great center of business and competition. They greeted their principal with a perfect whirlwind of Tuskegee yells. Dr. Washington was visibly affected by this unexpected demonstration of his old pupils. They sang for him the old Tuskegee songs, and presented him with a splendidly mounted photograph of all the members of the association By 7 o'clock Quinn Chapel was crowded to overflowing, and it was necessary to close the doors Dr Washington's address to his old pupils was one of the most important deliverances. He appealed to them to uphold their Alma Mater by living up at all times to the ideals of the institute. The address to the Business League the same night, by Dr. Washington, stirred the men to a new sense of the importance of the Negro Business League as an element of progress. In his interesting way he pointed out how many things the league could do to make itself felt in the city of big things. He called attention to the fact that it is a mistake to wait for a large membership to do important things. The great movements of the world are initiated and pushed on to success by the few heroic and public-spirited people who see and feel what must be done, and go at it as if they were appointed from on high. Under the inspiration of Dr. Washington's words, a movement was started amidst much enthusiasm, to prepare for inviting the National League to meet in Chicago in 1912. MAKES HIGHEST PERCENTAGE Special to The New York Aon Cincinnati Ohio Dec 12 Fred C. Payne messenger in the office of the right reef at Columbus has just appointed himself in a civil service examination which he took two weeks ago at Cincinnati. The examination was held for the purpose of securing a man to fill a Treasury position that is now vacant. The place is one to which a colored man is invariably appointed and so it is a foregone conclusion that a colored man will be appointed to it this time and for that reason the applicants in the examination were all colored. Payne secured the highest percent age 264 which is also a new record for the examination board, no other person ever coming before it having attained so high a grade. Among those examined at the same time was W. T. Vernon, now registrar of the Treasury at Washington, who will soon retire from that position, and is seeking another appointment. IMMORAL MINISTERS SEVERELY CRITICISED Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting Discusses Subject RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED All Preachers Denounced Whose Characters are Impeachable, Irrespective of Section or Denomination Preachers who conduct themselves unbecomingly, and who are none too particular about their morals, came in for severe criticism at the last session of the Interdenominational Preachers' meeting Resolutions were passed denouncing the immoral preacher, and the conference went on record as being opposed to those ministers whose characters are impeachable. The resolutions adopted follow The members of the Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting of New York and vicinity learn with sorrow of divers form of immorality among the clergy, regardless of section, position and denomination, and desire to place themselves on record concerning the immoral preacher as follows. First—We denounce his conduct as vehemently as we possibly can, but do not sympathise with the wholesale and extravagant statement that classifies the many good with the few bad preachers; the bad are the exception and not the rule in the holy calling. Second—We believe the remedy for this symmetrical enemy of a weak, struggling race of people is largely in the hands (1) of the better class of preachers who should withdraw from him ministerial courtesy (2) of the appointing powers and (3) of influential laymen. Third—We reinforce our deep abiding conviction that the personal moral character of the Christian minister should be absolute unimpeachable. Rev William R. A. Palmer is president of the Interdenominational Preachers' meeting and Rev Leland Crick is secretary. LITERARY LEAGUE MEETS On Thursday evening, December 8 the House held its second special meeting of the Massachusetts Baptist Church under the auspices of the R.A.Y.P. I presided over by Mrs. L. Mormon the chairman of the Political Liquidity Association who had charge of the program of the evening. The advocate of the case presented their arguments and thus told why they thought that women should have the suffrage. Mrs. Mormon waxed eloquent on the subject, she was introduced Miss Nettie A. Odlill the first speaker at the evening. Miss Odlill was followed by Mrs. P. O. Morgan Miss Harriet May Mills President of the Woman Suffrage League of New York State, was the third speaker. After the women suffragists had had "their say" the men speakers took their turns, in telling why they thought women should be given the ballot. The men speakers were H. H. Harrison and D. E. To bus. The lateness of the hour did not allow the question to be opened to the house, so the evening was a grand success for the "cause," and not a man present dared to oppose, for the sexton hurriedly extinguished the lights. On January 6, 1911, the League will hold a big meeting at the St. James Presbyterian Church. The distinctive feature of this program is that it will be in commemoration of Charels Sumner, his life and services to the Negro race Col Roscoe Conkling Simmons will be the orator. One of the objects for which the League exists is to place before the race the necessity for appreciating such men who have aided the race FOR HONEST ELECTIONS Republicans of Oklahoma to Submit Proposition to Voters if Legislature Fails to Act—A Severe Deal for Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK AOB. Wagoner, Okla, Dec 13—If an honest election law is not passed giving the Negro a squarer deal at the polls during the session of the Legislature, which convenes on January 3, the Republicans will submit a proposition to a vote of the people. James A. Harris, chairman of the Republican State Committee, is responsible for the statement, and has expressed himself as follows: The recent statement made in the press that such a measure will be mutated is absolutely correct. In the recent conference of the Republican members of the Legislature at Guthrie, this matter was discussed by Representative Edward Clark, of Pawnee Representative Joseph Porter, of Fnud, Judge John H Burford, of Guthrie, and others, and the opinion of the members for such a law was unanimous. We will have but little trouble integrating the measure. "I believe, of course, that an honest election law should be drafted by the Republican members and offered to the Legislature in regular session. If they want to adopt it, well and good. If not, then we will submit it to the people at the polls, and the big majority that the voters recently gave against the Bryan general election bill on November 8 shows that an honest law can be initiated and adopted. The Bryan bill was the child of a Democratic Legislature. In addition to the many evils contained in the election law now on the statute books, it also provided for registration in country precincts, and gave to the Democratic election inspector in each precinct power to disfranchise every man, white, red or black, whom he might please. "The vote on the Bryan bill shows that many Democrats voted against it the honest Democracy lining up with the Republicans to kill unfair and dishonest election laws. The Bryan bill got only 80,146 votes to 106,699 against it and that, too, in an election that resulted in victory for the entire Democratic State ticket which shows that thousands of Democrats are in favor of an honest election law. "I am in favor, too, of not only of offering an honest election law to the regular session of the Legislature, but also of the Republicans championing other legislation advocating better laws along many lines to supplant the laws of Democratic origin that have been found to be weak and inoperative, and in numerous instances a detriment to the state's advancement. Every time that we condemn a Democratic law, I am in favor of offering a remedy in its place." JAILOR AGAIN BAFFLES MOB. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Columbus, Ga., Dec. 12—The bravery and straight shooting of Jailer A A Phelts prevented a mob of lynchers from breaking into the jail here about 2 o'clock Sunday morning and taking Henry Taylor, a Negro, who is held for an attack on a white girl. As a result of the assault by the mob one man is dead and three are wounded. The dead man is Irvin Kent, who was a member of the mob, and the wounded are Tom Crews and Buckshot Blackmon, also members of the gang, and Jailer Phelts. The mob, about a hundred strong, attacked the jail Jailer Phelts, aroused from sleep by the noise, warned the mob to desist. The mob jeered at the jailer, and the latter opened fire, shooting down Kent, Crews and Blackman. The would be landers begin to flee, and as they fled they tried at the jailer, one bullet entering his chest and inflicting a wound. He put away wires shut out and then man supposed to be wounded the mob were arrested to get the Negro time in their hands. ADJOURNED COURT FOR NURSE Superior Court, Lance Martin I.

C. Collins Tells The Age That Stockholders Will Not Suffer Any Financial Loss WHY BUILDING WAS SOLD Officer Says That Within Next Five Years Company Can Regain All It Has Lost. If Given Co-operation. L. C. Collins, vice president and treasurer of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, Wednesday made a statement to THE ACE relative to the status of the concern, declaring that while the recent sale of the company's building at Forty sixth street and Eighth avenue is a big loss that owing to other properties held by the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company and in view of its announced intention to continue in business the stockholders will not suffer any financial loss. Speaking further on the sale of the property for the benefit of the stockholders Mr. Collins said "Responding to a request for a statement I can only make a very brief one at this time. The purchase and remodeling of the building at 46th street and Lighthouse were made for the purpose of enlarging the mercantile feature of the company. The serious setback received before the remodeling was completed caused a change in the purpose for which the building was purchased, thereby necessitating a larger outlay of money. It was for that purpose that a mortgage of $25,000 was given on the building. The mechanics' bills and contractors' bills so taxed the resources of the company that it was impossible to make preparations sufficient to meet an obligation so large as the mortgage against the building. "For that reason a creditors' meeting was called and arrangements made with them and agreed to by the mortgagee to protect the institution for all times upon the payment by the company of seven thousand dollars. Two thousand of that being procured by the directors. "Energetic efforts were made to have the stockholders advance the remaining five thousand dollars. Various meetings were held, letters written and interviews had for that purpose, and the consequence in the event of a failure to raise it was made plain, but all without avail. More Information to Be Given Out Later. "The building was sold on December 2 for $45,000 Under a forced sale property always sells far below its real value. There are other details connected with the sale of great interest which will be told later. But while it has meant a loss to the company, a loss which the directors tried to prevent, yet there are certain features that THE ACE readers must appreciate. "First, that it would have taken many years to pay off the mortgage with interest together with mechanics' liens and judgments amounting to more than twenty thousand dollars. Second, that as long as they remained matters of record, they would ever threaten the existence of the company, and prevent new investments. "With the mortgage foreclosed the attention of the directors can now be turned to the development of the other properties of the company, and with a vigorous policy, wise management and such co-operation of the stockholders and public as is necessary to protect their interest, the company can regain more in the next five years than it has lost within the last five Complete and detailed plans of the directors will be announced within the next few weeks. "The last three years have been years of losses with most communities. But they, only are worthy of success who can succeed despite crisis. We deplore but nevertheless are honored by our rescuers." DR GILBERT SOON TO LEAVE At the close of the month Dr M. W. Gilbert postured the M. W. Hunt Bapert church, will be sent to Knoxville, Tenn. to enter upon the work there beginning Sunday, June 17. His resignation is deeply depended by the vast body of the M. W. Hunt Olivet, and they are not satisfied with the return of his physician.

Robinson, the superintendent, made a special address to the Sunday School. At the prayer he preached again. The ACE representative sent a rumor last Sunday that the pastor. Dr. Butler, is thinking of resigning. The ACE correspondent cannot vouch for the truth of the rumor.

At the close of the service last Sunday evening at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Rev A Clayton Powell presented to the choir members, through Mr. John H Page, their leader, $340.50 the net proceeds of the seventh annual musicale which was recently given by the choir. The gross receipts were $398.85. This would have been $100 more had the church edifice been large enough to have accommodated the hundreds who were turned away. No talent, either at home or afar, can equal the Abyssinian Baptist Church doing the same. New York Mr. Page, who has led the choir for nine years, as an organizer and director of choirs has few equals and no superiors among the men of our race. He is a graduate of the academic department of Wayland Seminary and College (now Union University), and at one time an assistant teacher of vocal music in that institution. His present choir consists of thirty-three voices, and keeps up a standard worthy of imitation. Punctuality at rehearsals is one of the conditions of membership.

Y., Dec. 14—Homer Slaughter of Urbana, O., who has been employed as a bellboy at the Yates Hotel since November 1, was seriously burned about his feet and legs on Wednesday afternoon by falling into a vat containing boiling water while in the performance of his duties which had called him to the basement of the hotel. He was removed at once to the Hospital of the Good Shopier, where he was being criticized for the hirsut being much deeper than at first supposed, and suffering greatly from the shock. His father, James Slaughter, a prominent citizen of Urbana, was called to this city to attend his son.

With the opening of the new Pennsylvania Railroad station, colored waiters come back to Broadway. It has been many a year since colored men were given a chance in first class restaurants in New York. It has been the policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad to employ colored men wherever it has been wise to do so, and the officials of the road have always turned a deaf ear to any advice that looked to dispensing with the services of colored men in the dining rooms operated by the company. Perhaps only the Pullman Company has been more fair minded that the Pennsylvania in this respect, while in recent years the New York Central has been undergoing a happy change of mind THE AGE hopes that the men now employed at the new station may do well; that they will profit by the mistakes of the past, that they will keep themselves in proper trim for faithful work, and above all, that they will be honest in their relations and absolutely reliable in the matter of making time. When Summer comes we hope that the men will not desert their post for a six weeks' job at some resort. In the summer the Pennsylvania has undertaken a big job, and no department will escape the careful attention of those men upon whom rests all responsibility of affairs. The waiters will, we are sure, bear in mind that their race is concerned in their success or failure. Many things, too numerous and complicated to dwell upon, contributed to the calamitous disappearance of the colored waiters from first-class hotels and restaurants in New York. It may turn out that they may be given another chance if the men under Thomas Brown make good in their new home DEMOCRATIC GRATITUDE We see by the Baltimore American of December 6 that the first branch of the City Council of Baltimore has passed the bill to segregate white and colored people in certain sections of Baltimore as to their residence It is a noteworthy fact that in reading the proceedings of the Council bearing on this important measure that all the Democrats voted to segregate the Negroes and all the Republicans voted against the bill. This is the way that the Democrats usually vote, that is, against the Negroes In the face of such actions as this on the part of the Democrats it is hard for us to understand how any colored man can ally himself with the Democratic party as it is at present constituted. And then another puzzling element in the situation is this An "appeal" was recently sent to the people of Europe from the headquarters of the National Negro Committee, urging them to see that justice was done by the Negro in America. Practically every Negro who signed this appeal to the people of Europe voted in the last election, he voted at all, put the Democrat in power, hard for us to understand such inconstitutional people to be put in power and to get in power they vote in Baltimore to segregate the Negro and then to segregate the body of good people who vote the Democrat to bet and vote the policies are appealing to the white people of Europe and to the Negro of America to support the Democrat party so that this party in the put a position to segregate the Negroes in other cities. Also since the Democrats have gotten in power in West Virginia they are preparing to produce a separate law in that State. We presume that this Bullet more action and the West Virginia action may make those of our race who supported the Democratic party supremely happy We are glad to chronicle that Harry S. Cummings, a member of the City Council of Baltimore, stood up man fully against this outrageous piece of legislation. Mr. Cummings is a Negro. Republican. It is worth while to call attention to another feature. The Democratic members of the Baltimore city government enacted this law a month after the Democratic party had won a sweeping victory throughout the country. Every one knows that the Negroes helped the Democrats to win this victory in the Nation. This is the way the Democrats exhibit their gratitude toward the Negroes who voted the Democratic ticket. We presume that this is the kind of thing that must make colored men who voted the Democratic ticket supremely happy. A COTTON PICKER In another column on this page is a story from the World's Work about a cotton picker, a mechanical device, perfected after many years' effort. The story is an interesting recital of how the picker was developed against all kinds of odds. No less interesting is Mr Page's opinion as to the part the picker will play in the production of cotton, and the influence it will have upon the future usefulness of the human cotton pickers in the South Nine-tenths, perhaps even a larger percentage than that, of the cotton pickers in the South are Negroes, so that the invention of a picker to take their places in the field is of unusual interest to their race. Off-hand one might say that a piece of machinery that would do in ten minutes the work of a day for a man in any field would revolutionize the industrial condition of those engaged in that work. So it will. And better for all that it does! Instead of undermining the human cotton pickers, as Mr Page intimates, the introduction of the cotton picker will increase the value of all cotton workers in the planting and threshing the soil and add to the tonnage of the great American export product. Cotton picking in the South whether dries white labor or black labor has no more than one son work, plucking and molluring not only cotton but all cotton States. Millions of the worst cotton in the South and South West States are in wrinkles from any lack of capital or from an appreciation of the value of the staple, but from the inability of the planters to gather the crop without worry and at a satisfactory profit. The industrial development of the South, only now in the first stage, will require all the labor that can be secured, and since the Negro is the very backbone and hope of all labor there, he will find more work than he can do, at better wages than ever before. It is just as well for the women and children, who have been many regiments in the picking army, that they will have to turn their hands to other things. Howbeit, many crops shall have been gathered in the old fashioned way before the picker becomes universal The increase in the number of Negro land holders in the South, and their position as cotton producers and marketers, leads THE AGE to observe that for more reason than one the Southern Negroes are interested in any invention connected with the production of King Cotton. LABOR UNIONS AND THE NEGRO. THE AGE as well as the colored people throughout the United States, has been considerably stirred up on account of reported utterances of Samuel Gompers at the late meeting of the National Labor Union in St. Louis. We have taken some pains to get hold of the facts, and so far the information which we have gleaned seems to indicate that Mr. Gompers was misquoted in his remarks hearing upon the Negro, in fact, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says emphatically that Mr. Gompers did not make the remarks regarding the Negro that he was quoted as making. The fact would seem to hear out the contention ```markdown ``` TEARS, TEARS! In the New York Tribune despatches we find an account of Chief Justice White's conduct when he received information of his confirmation by the Senate. Justice White was visibly affected when he learned of the Senate's prompt action. He was on the bench when a group of Senators called to congratulate him. He met them in an ante-chamber and when he resumed his place his eyes were brimming wjtn tears Tears! White in tears! These are not the first tears that streamed down the classic features of Edward Douglass White. He has wept before and often. Away back in his career, before a waters of perfidy and machination had swept him into the United States Senate, where Cleveland found him in 1894, away back, we say, after he had planned the onslaught of the Louisiana Democrats against the rights of man, and had seen his chops lead the charge of horror; after he had witnessed the lynching of the Constitution and prepared the defense of the lynchers before the courts of equity and opinion, after he had viewed the prostrate bodies of a womanhood long before degraded by the "flower" of his race against whose name is that record that disgraces our national character, after the once free Canal street had become a highway of terror, and political slavery worse than physical bondage had fastened itself upon Louisiana from Antrim to Boudreaux, the Chief Justice wept that his phalanx could do no more against men too weak to defend themselves. Tears! How have tears before, in all the ages, freely flowed from the eyes of ivyants, birds, kings, wicked princes, and princes. We woe not with, but the Creat Justice. CHIFF JUSTICE WHITE. A vigorous Republican news issue has spread the republican presidency over that great tribunal and dispute newspaper the President would fail to select some eight member of the party to sit in a seat cherished above all seats of honor and power. No Republican President has had the opportunity given to Mr Taft not only to honor his party but to fill so large a number of judicial vacancies. Intent as he seemed to be upon promoting to the chief justiceship a member of the Court still it was not necessary to choose a Democrat. The ermine might well have fallen upon the suf- ficient shoulders of John Marshall Harlin, who has adorned the Court for 30 years. It would have been a splendid tribute to his ability and in- tegrity to have allowed the great Kentuckian to round out his life as a Chief Justice Speaking from the viewpoint of party good, it is our opinion that Mr Taft has failed to remember his obligation to his party. Just is a President owes a duty to his country, he owes something also to the political group that placed him at the head of the government THE AGE realizes that it is a delicate matter to discuss judgeships and the courts, but we owe something to the Negro people. We owe it to them to express their opinion about all public matters. Of all the Democrats that were available for the chief justiceship, off the bench or on the bench, Mr Justice White is least acceptable not only to colored people but to all who cherish the Constitution. Mr Justice White not only assaulted the Constitution on the battlefield as a rebel soldier, but he has assaulted it as a disfranchiser in Louisiana and as a leader of the group of Democrats in his State that took away the political rights of colored men there and contributed in other directions to the degradation of the colored people. Upon every question affecting the rights of colored men THE ELECTION OF BANKS the office that progressives that good sense choosing the very best man among them for a highly important task Mr. Park was the victory of those around him who believe that ex perience counts double when it has enjoyed success. The Free Masons of Mississippi not only believe in their symbolic glories but also in the future of the people They have united to do what they can to teach the people alike the lessons of the past and the lessons and duties of the present. They are a rich, influential organization. Under Grand Master Morgan and Charles Banks they should make larger progress in the future. In respect of this turning secret orders into agencies of progress, while every order cannot have a Banks, this ought to be the aim of each organization—to help the people and to teach them the things they ought to know The Charleston Advocate corrects The Age with complimentary gentleness.

What does it profit a man to gain a tip of he turns and tips it to another? --- The Republican State Committee of Louisiana according to the reports contributed $2,000 to the Republican Congressional Committee.

The organization is called the American Institute. What the gentlemen seek to imitate is called the French Academy. John Bigelow and Howells and Damrosch spoke. Papers were read. Poems were recited and several speeches were got off. Now, in all seriousness, how can any group of Americans, distinguished in letters go off to perfect an organization without calling in Booker T. Washington an immortal enough? Aside from his educational work and his first place as an orator, he is one of the really great authors of the continent. One of the books is known and read where there is a language for the people.

A COTTON HARVESTER A Machine Invented Calculated to Revolutionize the Production of Cotton, of Great Interest to Southern Negroes. (Arthur W Page, in the December World's Work.) The mechanical cotton picker, the impossible machine that will discriminate between ripe and unripe cotton bolls, finger over the delicate plant, get the lint and leave the rest unharmed—this contrivance of almost human intelligence has at last been made. The cotton gin made cotton kings, and made the king's standing army of blacks a permanent drawback to half the nation. And the South considered this standing army as necessary to cotton production that it was willing to fight to preserve it. A gin did all this. The picking machine has signed the order to disband the black army of cotton pickers that have kept King Cotton from being an enlightened ruler. A South without the early depralization of cotton-picking time, when men, women and children from the mills, kitchens, schools and everywhere else desert their normal locations for the cotton patch—that would be a new South indeed. The machine to make this new South, and incidentally to save the Southern farmers tens of millions of dollars every year, had its beginning in a curious manner. Twenty-five years ago Mr Angus Campbell, a pattern-maker of Chicago, made a pleasure trip to Texas to see a brother, then a superintendent on the "Katy," as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad is known in the Southwest. As the two brothers "dead-headed" around the state (for in those days a pass was a privilege and not a crime) they saw hundreds of men, women and children dragging sacks step by step through the cotton fields as they picked Mr Campbell had been making models for several hundred inches and the idea of making a machine to do the picking occurred to him immediately. It was several years before he could get an opportunity to experiment, but in 1883 he made his second appearance in a cotton field—this time with a machine designed to pick cotton All of them have been murdered. (Strings with cotton pickers that run human blood since the 1920s (when a Louisiana plumber operated a grinder of dead human monkeys to the edge of the living them to pick). No one has ruled supreme and no one who have opposed to make noise of pickers have generally been held in the same category as the inanimate machines. Mr Campbell used to conceal his machines and cover his machines with curtains to keep people from questioning his sanity. Nevertheless, there was always a crowd of soffers on hand when the experiments were made. Why that cotton ain't clean enough for a dog to lie on?" was the hardly comment of one uninvited guest, as he looked at the results of one of his machines' work. With little money and less encouragement, with no shop facilities near the field and amidst the scouts of the uninhovers the inventor spent his vacation every year in the cotton field, of Texas Louisiana and Mississippi, where the thermometer is above 90 degrees, and a white man's patience is short. Truly inventing is about 10 per cent, genius and 90 per cent hard work. Late in the nineteen, Mr Campbell persuaded some Pittsburgh gentlemen to form a company--The American Cotton Picker Company--to promote his invention. In 1906 it put a machine in the field. But the company was poorly administered and I came unknot. It was recognized as the Pittsburgh American Cotton Picker Company and under this name all but captured this same performance. In the fall of 1905 the one in which the company possessed was in the fields at Vernon Tex. There was about $200 in the company treasury and the end was in sight. Mr Thoremberg H. Price of New York one of the production dealers of the company had long been interested in machine pliers having worked a good deal of time and money year after year all the which he had made promise of success. He had seen one of Mr Campbell's products for sale. Before the company subscribed to Mr Campbell resolved it that he must be sold Mr Price. pound, and during the next five years 9 cents has been the lowest. In the three five-year periods top prices have ranged from 10.1-4 cents in 1898-1900, to 16.65 cents in 1908-06, and 19.75 cents in 1909-10. During these fifteen years there was an increase in the crop, but not an increase commensurate with the demand. The average crop for the five years ending August 31, 1900, was 9,565,000 bales. The average crop for the next five years was 11,074,000 bales, and for the five years ending August 31, 1910, it was 12,178,000 bales. The machine itself is about as inspiring a sight as the gin was in Whitney's day. It is a small, gasoline, traction engine, with two picking attachments swung under it, and a pair of canvas bags hung out behind. It travels through the field about as fast as a man walks, taking the cotton plant between the wavels, where it is picked over by almost countless, revolving, steel fingers, which catch the line, but leave the plant unfurred, so that the later bolls may mature. To leave the unripe bolls has been the great difficulty in making a mechanical cotton picker. Cotton cannot be gathered all at once like wheat. Further, as the cotton is not all ripe and open at the same time, it must be able to go over the same field and plants two or three times during the season without injury to the plant or bolls. Yet, if you stand in front of the machine when it is in motion, and see it move, you will not look as if it were designed for shredding purposes instead of for handling a delicate plant, without injury The picking machinery is on two drums which hang from the frame of the tractor, one on each side of the cotton plant as the machine straddles the row. An endless chain of upright cylinders of small diameter follow each other around the drum. From these cylinders the needles which do the picking project horizontally into the plant. When the machine starts, every thing moves with a motion of its own. The drum carries the cylinders around, the cylinders poke the needles into the plant at the proper angle, and the fingers turn and catch the cotton. Every motion is delicately adjusted. The fingers move fast enough to catch the flare, but not fast enough to throw it off. The cylinders bring each finger into place at the proper time, so that there is never a space large enough for an open boll to pass through without touching a finger. The drum is moving backward at the same rate that the whole machine moves forward, so that the picking needles do not move horizontally through the plant, but merely turn it. Almost all the farmers who came to the market work came in a parcel skipped frame of mind. Even after they had seen it they took as the old woman on first seeing a hippopotamus. She wished it and it several times viewed it carefully, and thoroughly, remarked deservedly. Here is a thing: others are said to think theirs should be monopoly more popular. As a white poker to be made. Wow, anyone can take a drink or not the business to take there something left for a man to do. It will put the little school out of the totters stem soil. Second, and the twisting to be was given by a farmer's wife who accepted thankfully that she would not have to cook for it. The Picker a Money Saver. The machine will save the cotton farmers' money and temper. It will pick his cotton more cheaply than the hand pickers do, and it will not have to be begged to do so. Let us take, for example, a hundred-acre farm producing half a bale to the acre. The machine can cover at least eight acres a day. Its expenses would be approximately Total per day At that rate it would cost $75 to go over the farm once with the machining, and $150 to pick the 100 acres over twice, which it could do in twenty-five days. To pick the fifty bales from this hundred acres by hand would cost between $600 and $800, and it would take twelve "hands" more than twenty-five days to complete the task. To Increase Price of Land Moreover, in all probability the machine would tend to make land adapted to cotton more valuable. At present cotton land is not cotton land unless it is cultivated by a crop. Land adapted to cotton growing is plantiful in the Seaboard Cotton States at from $15 to $30 an acre (and uncleared land from $3 up). Yet it is customary for owners in renting this land to get 1,000 pounds of int as rent for a one-horse farm of thirty acres. With cotton at 10 cents a pound, this is a return of 22 per cent on $15 land and of 11 per cent on $30 land. Moreover, a good tenant could easily make 4,000 pounds instead of 2,000 on the thirty acres in which the owners Shaw will be 2,000 pounds, the owner would account to from 22 to 44 per cent on the land. This condition is the result of labor conditions, and the partial elimination of labor should improve it and add to the price of cotton land. The mechanical cotton picker is arraried so that the machinery can be taken off and a plow platter harrow or any other form implement hitched. No the twenty nine horsepower tractor. How general such usage will be known as americana or prophecy, but certainly it will be so used to some extent. The Tenant System Must Go be called little, or nothing else. But it also means poor methods of cultivation and a small yield of farm products of all sorts. DOING THE PRACTICAL THING The Tuakegee Educator Never Studied "Book Pedagogy"—The Experience of a Young Harvard Man Who Had. After describing his practical methods of teaching various branches—the measurement of the school-room walls and of the grounds outside the weighing of live pigs and figuring the price of polk, etc—Principal Booker T Washington, in the December World's Work Makers, says "In emphasizing the importance of studying things rather than books, I do not mean to underrate the importance of studying history, general literature, or any of the so-called cultural studies. I do think, however, that it is important that young men and young women should first of all get clear and definite ideas of things right about them, because these are the ideas by which they are going to measure and interpret things further removed from their practical interests. To young, inexperienced minds, there seems to be a kind of fatal charm about the vague the distant and the mysterious." In the same article he writes: "I have sometimes regarded it as a fortunate circumstance that I never studied pedagogy. If I had done so every time I attempted to do anything in a new way I should have felt compelled to reckon with all the past, and in my case that would have taken much time that I should never have got anywhere. "As an illustration of the way in which too much learning will hamper a man who finds himself in the presence of a new problem—one not in the books—I recall the fate of a young Harvard graduate who was a teacher at Tuskegee for one or two sessions several years ago. This young man had very little practical experience as a teacher, but he had made a special study of the subject of education while he was in college: largely because of his high scholarship he was given a position as teacher of education at Tuskegee "I am afraid that, until he arrived we knew very little about pedagogy at Tuskegee. He proceeded to enlighten us, however. He lectured and preached to us about Comenius, Rousseau, Pestalozzi and all the others, and what he said was very interesting. The trouble was that he made a complete failure in his own classes. "Bardinarily at the closing exercise of a high school graduates are expected to stand up on a platform and out of all their experience instruct their olders how to succeed in life. We were fortunate at Tuskegee in the thirty-seven industries carried on there and in the thousand acres of land that are cultivated to be able to their students in addition to their general education. A pretty good knowledge of some of the familiar trades or vacations. They have there, for something to talk about in their essays in which all of the audiences are interested and with which they are all more or less familiar Instead of having a boy or girl be a paper on some subject like "Boyor the Alps Lies Italy" we have them explain and demonstrate to the audien how to build a roof, or the proper to make cheese, or how to hate chickens with an incubator. Perhaps one of the graduates in the nursery training school will show how to first aid to the injured. If a girl taking the course in dairying, she will not only describe what she has learned, but will go through on the platform the various methods of operating a modern dairy. Instead of letting a boy tell why one ought to do right, ask him to tell what he has learned about the feeding of pigs, about the diseases and the care of them when they are sick."

The Mystery, Covered So Long, Is Now Made Plain. Joseph, the Second Son of the Patriarch, Pictured the Heavenly Seed. Ishmael, the First Son, the Earthly Seed. Omaha, Neb. Dec. 11. — Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacle visited our city yesterday as the guest of the International Bible Students Association. He gave two public addresses, which were heard by large and intelligent audiences. We report his ad- MUSTER dress from these words of Scripture: "And Isaac brought Rebecca into his mother Sarah's text, and she became his life and he loved her."-Genesis xiv, 27. When we sometimes speak of Abraham, Isaac and gilgam as types we should not be understood to mean that they were merely types—that the Bible stories respecting them are fictions. A person or thing is a type when, in addition to the actual experi- ences, the Scriptures indicate that it prefigures and illustrates on a small scale some person or things yet futura. As, for instance, Adam in certain respects, as the head of the race, was a type of Messiah, the Second Adam. The first Adam was the head of our race, but failed to give the eternal life desired. In God's providence Messiah is to be the Second Adam, in the sense that he will regenerate, as his children, all the posterity of the First Adam. Messiah is thus declared in prophecy to be the Everlasting Father of mankind—the Father or Life-giver, better than Adam, and who will give to our true everlasting life, instead of a heritage of weakness, imperfection and death. Similarly, Moses not only was a real character, the leader of the nation of Israel, but additionally he was a type of a greater Mediator Messiah. As Moses meditated the Law Covenant for Israel, so Messiah the Prophet like unto Moses, and antitypical of him Acts 11, 23, is to be the Mediator of Israel's New Covenant under which the Abrahamic blessings will reach them and through them reach all the families of the earth (Jer 3xxl, 31) Similarly, Aaron was a type of the higher priesthood and its better sacrifices connected with the New Covenant. So, also, the under-priests and the Lervites, additional to their own experiences, served, in God's providence, as types of the higher institutions by which the New Covenant will be inaugurated shortly. On this occasion we ask your attention to Abraham, known in the Scriptures as the friend of God, as the father of the faithful, and to his son Isaac, the Son of Promise, born out of the natural order, miraculously, when his mother was old; also to Isaac's wife, Rebecca, selected by Abraham to be the companion and joint-heir with his son Isaac in his inheritance. These personages lived their lives wholly unconscious of the fact that God was using them and over ruling their affairs so as to make of them prophetic pictures of his own great Plan of the Ages. These type pictures are always to be read in full harmony with the inspired writings of the Bible and never to be understood in contradiction of the same. Not everything that Abraham did, however, is to be esteemed typical. In a general way this grand man of the past looms up before our minds as a monument of faith and integrity and justice. The blessings promised to go through him to his Seed, which would constitute him the father of many nations, made of him, as St Paul points out, a type of the Almighty, from whom flows every good and every perfect gift from whom proceeds the blessing which ultimately is to flow through Messiah, his Son, and through Israel, his people, unto all the families of the earth. All Christians, presumably, are aware of St Paul's interpretation of Abraham and his family as types. As Abraham typified God, so his wife typified the command through which the vitality of the promise ultimately develops the Seal of Promise - Isaac in a type and Man - the antique St Paul's ant. Hacer is to be done for a time with Abraham and Hagar. Hagar is to be the Law Council of the great cloos arranging God and Father. Hagar is to be the Jewish man under the As Abraham Israel is blessed on his behalf rael and desired a life in the offering of the law of the Nevertheless as Israel the offer of the bond woman was desired to to be the primary host of the Arya hamkam promise, but a second one so the children of Israel the offering of the law Covenant were not intended to be the Spiritual Messiah the whom the promise declared that the blessing should first proceed. In the type we see that Sarah Arya ham's wife who represented the original Abrahamic Coronant brought forth of all of our lives. Isaac, long years after the benedictine, her institute, had brought forth Ishmael. When Isaac was born, Sarah repudiated Ishmael and no longer acknowledged him as her son, but, instead, claimed everything for Isaac. The antitype of this is that from the time that God began the development of the Spiritual Israel and set forth the "Govenant by sacrifice" through which this Spiritual Israel would be developed—from that time it began to be clearly manifest that the chief portion of the promise of God to bless the world was not to be fulfilled through the Ishmael Seed, natural Israel, but through the Isaac Seed—Spiritual Israel. The Well-Spring of Hope for the Jews From the first there was manifested a competition for the Abrahams blessing. And as Ishmael mocked at the infant Isaac, so the Jew, in his considerable development and strength, mocked at the Antitypical Isaac—Jesus and his comparatively ignorant and unlearned followers—and persecuted them. In order to continue the type, that Abraham might typify God, he was commanded to send forth Hagar and her son into the wilderness. That seeding forth typified the Divine disfavor which came upon the Jews eighteen centuries ago and which has made them outcasts from God's favor, as Hagar and Ishmael were cut off from Abraham's presence and family and care. The bread and water which Hagar took with her, by which she and Ishmael were nourished in the wilderness for a time, pictures and types the premises of God through the Law and the prophets which still belong to the Jew and upon which, for eighteen centuries, he has been nourished, and without which the hope of the nation would have perished. Now we come to the dire moment pictured in Genesis xxl. 15-19. The water provided by Abraham had been consumed. No more was to be had. Ishmael was dying. Hagar, his mother, separated herself from him. At the opportune moment the angel of the Lord appeared to her and pointed her to a spring of water, where she refreshed herself and Ishmael with new life. The antitype of this is now to be seen before us. The Jewish people, separated more and more from the Law and the Prophets, are becoming weak and faint as respects hope. They are about to die. But no the Lord graciously points out a well-spring of the water of life at this critical moment. As Ishmael was rescued from death by this water, so the antony of Israel, whom he typified, is now about to find in the providence of God that their portion of the Abrahamic Covenant is the earthly one, not the heaviest one, not the spiritual. They are about to be refreshed and to enter upon a new career. That career, however, will not mark them as Ishmaelites, nor will their New Covenant relationship be symbolized by Hagar, the Old Law Covenant. Therefor they are represented under a new type. Isaac Was Heir of All. If, at first, our Jewish friends might be inclined to feel disappointed that they were represented in Inbahel, and not in Isaac, by the Hagar Covenant, the Covenant of bondage to the Law, instead of being formed free from the Law, there is a consolation. Their consolation is that Isaac typified the Messiah and that Israel is pictured as the nation on whose behalf Messiah will mediate the New Law Covenant. The Messiah must be spiritual, in order to be able to confer the great blessings indicated in the Covenant made with Abraham. The nation of Israel never expected to be spiritual and had no such promise in the Bible. To the Jews will come exactly what they have always been expecting: greatness as an earthly people, honor as the elect nation through whom the New Covenant blessings will be opened up to all the world of mankind the Gentiles. As already pointed out, Isaac the son of Abraham, typified the Messiah of glory, the Son of God and heir of all the promises the one through whom alone eternal life may be obtained and restitution to that perfection which will enable Israel and the world to keep the Divine Law perfectly and merit the gift of God eternal life, according to their New Law (Ovenant by and through its great Mediator Messiah. Eleazar Type of the Holy Spirit. In due time Abraham sent his trust servant Eleazar (typical of the holy Spirit) to select a Bride for his son Isaac. Eleazar might not go anywhere He was directed to go only to those of Abraham a family, thus implying that none would be called to be the Bride of Messiah except such as were already in relationship to God through faith, obedience and justification. When the servant had found Rebecca he put upon her certain jewels, explained to her and her relatives the nature of his union and the kind of she were when to him and be held by Bride. He had My master Abraham is very righl and all that he had both given unto her. Thus the great values of care are again illustrated in Abraham and the fact that Moses threw his Son and the half of the provisions of God for the one-three thousand and all man- kind shall be saved. Rebecca is prompt to respond and thus threw her self to the angel Bridegroom and hosted with the servant to them. As her kinsfolk lady, but gently she wished her a life in these words. Eu then the mother of the sons of Hesus (Geneva xxvii) 12 Were that Rebecca cared and her sister (double servant) and they fell into the garden and fell with the sister star. Here we find in her memory with other Saints a picture of this age and its work of bringing to Messiah a pastoral Bridegroom of smallness. Congratulations that is sent to this office written on both sides of the paper will not be printed - Ed. often. First amongst these unique wives some of the Jewish nation, according to the Divine Rule; as the Scriptures set forth—"to the Jew first." This Bride class has been selected from every nation, people, kindred and tangle, yet in all will be but a little flock—"Fear not, little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom"—the spiritual, unseen Kingdom of Messiah—joint-bedrahp with him in his throuse—not the earthly Kingdom which has been promised definitely to Israel. The Bride Class and the Great Company. Other Scriptures have shown us that there are two classes amongst these salats. A few, peculiarly devoted, will constitute the Bride class. And a larger number, not so courageous of the Truth and righteousness, will constitute her companions, her servant, as Rebecca travelled accompanied by her servanta. These two classes are particularly specified in the Scriptures (45th Psalm), where we read of the Messiah-Bride and Queen. In her resurrection glory she is pictured as the Queen robed in gold of Ophir with fine needlework—the glory representing the divine nature which will be granted her and the fine needlework representing her glorious righteousness, embellished with the fruits of the holy Spirit. The Psalmist tells how she shall be brought into the presence of the great King Jehovah and then adds that the virgins, or companions, that fellow her shall also be brought into the presence of the King, showing that there will always be a difference of rank on the spiritual plane. These two classes are again pictured in the Law as Priests and Levites, the Bride class being represented by the Priesta, owing to their willing sacrifices of the earthly portion in favor of the heavenly. We are not to identify the Bride class with the nominal Christian Churches of today any more than we would identify the Apostles with the Jewish Church of their day. The Apostles were a select few, and similarly all the members of the Church throughout the Age have been a select few out of a nominal many. "The Lord knoweth them that are his." The true Church has been selected, not only from all of the twelve tribes of Israel, but from every other nation, people and tongue even so many as the Lord our God has called Rebecca's hearing her father's house typified the personal conservation of each one who led the Spirit, accepts the Divine invitation to joint helpless with Christ. The first jewelry given to Rebecca, when first she needed the invitation and invited the servant to her home, represents the earliest blessing received by believers. The jewelry she received after she had decided to go to Isaac and become his wife represents the blessings of the Holy Spirit which come upon the fully consecrated, those who determine to walk in the footsteps of Jesus in the narrow way into the Kingdom, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit Arrived at the end of her journey, she found herself in the presence of Isaac, and immediately alighted from her camel and covered herself with a veil. Thus, pictorially, is represented the fact that the Church, when having experienced the change of the First Resurrection and in the presence of the heavenly Bridegroom, will no longer need the guidance of the holy Spirit, through the Scriptures. This part of the picture, of course, is yet future. The Scriptures, however, indicate, and outward conditions correlate the fact, that the time of this glorious change is nigh at hand. To Be the Mother of Thousands of Isaac immediately received Rebecca and took her into his mother's tent. Sarah had died and Rebecca became her successor. Thus is beautifully pictured the fact that when the Bride of Messiah shall be complete on the plane of glory, the Sarah Covenant will be at an end and her place, as a channel of blessing, will be taken by the glorified Church. Then will be fulfilled the prophetic blessing of her relatives. "Be thou the mother of thousands of millions." Those thousands of millions represent the world of mankind, which will be regenerated, or granted new life by the great Messiah during the thousand years of his reign as the Mediator of the New Covenant. Whether we are to receive Messiah and come into harmony with the righteous law of the true Kingdom will be the first to be blessed. They will be particularly in this matter of food is made up of per person, however, of their past experiences and certain lessons and tenets of the law and the prophets. The law will be the order of things and also with it therefor to the blessing go first of the last and the lessons points of the law to the blessings will follow. With what that is the purpose of this work is made up of food is made up of our culture and education sure to membership in the Body of the Bride of Christ.

(From the Washington Bee.) The National Negro League (N. A. A. C.), with headquarters in New York, and of which Prof. Dubois is the paid, if not the titular, head, has issued a word-buried address "to the People of Great Britain," just as if Great Britain was cognizant of American infinitesimals. As might have been expected, the address is an altar to the Nation. Washington whose shoes many of the members are unworthy to unatch. It is a pity for Prof. Dubois that he is so consumed by jealousy and so hedged about with envy that he cannot move out on the broad field of human endeavor and race uplift unfettered. His accouterments are too cumber some for a long march and a succession of failures. He is the father's appears to have for its one object the pulling down of Dr. Washington from the high pedestal he occupies, and upon which the people placed him. Every utterance of Dr. Dubois is poisoned with the venom of jealousy for the builder of Tunkegee. But Dr. Washington, bent to one purpose, and determined upon one aim, the uplift of the masses, ignores the need for the builder, minded assailants, and continues on, uninterrupted and unserved, with his grand and good work of uplift. The address of the National Negro League, as sent "to the people of Great Britain," is signed by a few men who, like Prof. Dubols, are actuated by jealousy and envy, and some of them have failed signally to carve a small niche in life's rotunds for themselves. In looking at the books of some barristers without clients, some physicians without patients, some authors whose books earn no royalties, some ministers whose religion has not the impress of Christian tolerance, some editors whose newspapers are but sheets of billingagate and columns of defamation, and a few human jokes who are but impeccable camp-followers—the whole lot forming a limited fewtronostasts who are impersonated within their own conceit, and halted by their own envoyess. Dr Washington is not infallible, but he is honest and sincere. He has never claimed infidelity. He may have made mistakes but the mistakes if made were in an honest effort to build up and not in tearing down. Dr Washington is the president of all races. He has the confidence and誓约 of his own trust. His leadership cannot be dislodged. He must instead of building the reserves in build up his trust in losses at times dear down. He must always be the epitome of honesty and sincerity. "In their fruits shall we know them" The fruits of Dr Washington's labors are the sweet, life-giving fruits of noble effort and beneficial uplift Prof Duhous's fruits are the bitter apples of leaustry and the sour grapes of envy We repent. By their fruits shall we know them." MONTREAL HOME OWNERS Progress to Be Noted in Thriving Canadian City—Rev. Gant Doing a Good Work for the People. Regular Correspondence or Twin Acu Montreal Canada, Dec. 6. -Summer has gone with it happiness and flowers and winter has set in with its ice-creams. The colored people of Montreal as a whole, have spent a very pleasant summer. There were many visitors from the tSatea, and all were highly entertained by the generous hearted residents of this city. Montreal has some of the most beautifully furnished homes among colored people in the States or Canada. The great portion of the people here are employed by the two railroads running out from Montreal, as headquarters, viz., the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk. The men get good salaries and they are saving their money by putting it into property. We have palatial homes in this city, which are very well-perfection. They rank favorably with best of residences in the city. Among the homes in which the visitors were entertained this past summer, were C. W. White, Mrs John H. Harper, Mrs J. H.

F. JOHNSON Propertyless ADVERTISE IN THE AGE THE MOVING PICTURE THEATRE DURING a recent session of the Interdenominational Ministerial Conference, held at St Mark's M E Church, Rev M W Clair, pastor of the Asbury M. E. Church, Washington, D C, who was the principal speaker, charged that the moving picture theatres were causing a steady falling off in church attendance, and urged the ministers to start a crusade against such places of amusement. Rev Clair's statement precipitated an animated discussion among the ministers present, some of whom agreed with the Washington minister, while others contended that moving picture theatres were not a menace to the church and that it would be unwise to inaugurate a campaign against the small theatres Rev A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, made THE MISSING MAN the most forceful and good talk in favor of the operation of moving picture theatres. It was due to his argument that the conference, which is composed of the ministers of Greater New York and vicinity, failed to act favorably on the suggestion made by Dr Clur Rev E. W Daniels, assistant rector of St Philip's Church, also spoke against beginning a crusade on moving picture theatres. Why He Took the Negative Position For the benefit of the readers of THE AGE, Rev Powell tells why he is opposed to the church starting a crusade on the five and ten cent theatres. At our Interdenominational Ministerial Conference two weeks ago, the learned Dr. Chair, of Washington, D.C., delivered an address on "Religious Conditions of the Capital City." The speaker pointed out that during the last three or four years there had been an alarming decline in church attendance in his city, and the reason for this declension was traced to the door of the moving-picture shows and the one-center discussion which followed the majority of the preachers declared that these shows had also greatly affected not only church attendance, but the character of the young people in New York, and suggested that a crusade be started at once, looking toward the ultimate closing of the nickel and dime amusement places. I took the position that instead of beginning a crusade of annihilation, we should begin a campaign of purification. If the doors of every moving-picture show and tent-centre could be closed at once, we would question whether anything would be added to the moral character of the city or to the spiritual efficiency of the church. The first sentence I memorized in Science of Government reads, "Men are by nature fitted for society." If the church does not and will not furnish an opportunity for the enjoyment of this God given nature then men will go elsewhere seeking it. The poor have this social aptitude as well as the rich but the poor cannot pay from $1 to $10 for seats at the large playhouses and theaters. It takes a hard days work to turn with the slender purses to the ten-movement picture shows for a cent of social outlet. If these places were closed many people spend their evenings there would retaliate when buffet flats and gambling houses on the rest would stand on the street corners until midnight which is about the most democratic of places. Popularty of Moving Picture Houses Popularity of Moving Picture Houses Since man and women are polite find social cohesion somewhere since it is admitted that they are going to the moving pot to show for that enjoyment is to another place of amusement with the skill of care and management with the skill of reservation for the church to seek for the removal of any pictures or plays that may seem hurtful to the morals of the young? If a game intellectual test were made, the church and clergy against any exhibition or play doomed pernicious to the moral charac- ter. I venture the assertion that there is not a proprietor of any amusement MUSIC AND THE STAGE such a protest serious consideration. Ministers and parents should visit the amusement houses patronized mostly by the young people of our race, and if their morals are not protected, as is often charged, the case should be presented to the managers, and if the managers do not remedy conditions, then let the fearless minister of God proclaim against this evil as he does against all other evils, and warn his congregation against going to such places. When we do this something worth while will be accomplished, and people will be convinced that the church is still "the salt of the earth," not trying to destroy everything outside of its own walls, but trying to make everything wholesome that is unwholesome. The Abyssinian Church is surrounded by the theatres and nickelettes as is no other church in the city, but I do not believe that they have affected our attendance in the slightest degree. Any of the cheap-priced theatres on Eighth avenue would be glad to exchange their crowd for our Friday evening prayer meeting audiences, and on Sunday we do not know that they are in the city. Our choir sings bright and cheery hymns, and the pastor preaches a gospel which appeals to the head and heart telling men how to live so as to be happy here as a guest after. The people not only come but generously support the church, because they believe that we have something which is infinitely better than anything they can find in the theatres. Lauds Program of the Church. The church has the finest programs in the world. Every other program puts into insignificance when it is compared with the program of Christianity. Whenever the church fails to draw men the trouble is it with the program but with its execution. If the children in the world fail in the exercise of light the children in the world fail in the exercise of light. of their musics. The Orphis took in hearing distant of the sirens Orphis took up the violin stringed harp which Hermes insisted and made such beautiful music that his sulters and contempts on board paid no attention whatever to the sweet songs of the sirens As the sirens saw the ship pass their music under the greater spell of the harp and voice of Orphis they were disgusted that they threw themselves into the ocean and were transformed into rocks The day has gone by when we can stop the cars of the people with the way of tradition and lash them to the church by creeds and doctrines promulgated by the ecclesiastical councils of the Middle Ages. The church can only draw and hold the mass by presenting in sermon song and daily life of its members the ever-living active Christ of God whose heart is bursting with love for humanity. The church that thus faithfully presents Him will have no need to fear the competition of the world. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE HIS HONOR THE BARRIER GLOBE. The author of the book of December 1921.

HOWARD REDUCES PRICES WESTERN CITY, CALIFORNIA. WESTERN CITY, CALIFORNIA. WESTERN CITY, CALIFORNIA. MANAGER PRAISES THE KEMPS People in the country, to which he prepares it, Kemp Robby and Mr. for the department by the acting the spirit Manager Love and While the very large majority of colored performers in the theatrical profession conduct themselves like ladies and gentlemen, there are some; it is true, who do not (with particular reference to the men in the profession) and who are given to gambling and other pursuits which bring odium not only on themselves but on their race and on the vaudeville profession generally. But the percentage of colored performers who conduct themselves in such manner is so infinitesimal as to be almost lost sight of in the light of the excellent conduct of the greater majority of their race I recall with considerable pleasure the conduct and deportment of the Kemps—Robert and May—known in the profession as Hob and May Kemp. It has been my good fortune on several occasions to have this duo of entertainers on my stage and I have yet to be appointed in them, either as entertainers or as a type of men and women whom it is a pleasure to know. Color cuts no figure in my estimation of the human family, and I rather pride myself on my ability to tell at a glance whether a man is a good man or whether a woman is a good woman. The Keys are my ideal of the Christian vaudeville entertainer, with Johnson and Wells a close second and others well up in the running. In comparison the colored performers are as a whole about 98 per cent pure gold. In conclusion I would say that to my personal knowledge that there has been but three instances in the past ten years where coloured performers have laid themselves open to censure by vaudeville managers. Ettoris Note We certainly appreciate Manager Finn's outspoken praise 19 for the colored performer which comes off the stage and is lit for him. MILITARY BAND'S MUSICALE Last Friday evening the Exchequer Military Band gave its third annual musical at Grand Central Palace, Lexington avenue and 41d street. The hall was beautifully decorated with flags and buntings. The young Lady of the Arizona Club, under Mrs Irene Stith, acted as ushers. The musical program for the evening was well tendered. Albert DeNancy scored in a tenor solo from Carmen Goodlette's Repertoire Company presented "A Social Outcast," a one act drama, which pleased the audience immensely. W Hartwell Hicks rendered a cornet solo and was forced to respond to several encores. What's the Matter With Father," by J Bodewalt Lampie, aroused with enthusiasm and the act was repeated. The music was rendered by the Excelsior Military Band, which is composed entirely of young men of the city. This band deserves great credit for the progress it is making.

Hereforeto the team representing Howard University has been handcapped on account of lack of facilities for practice and also by the playing of its best material with outside club. This year, however, the men are able to continue regular practice and every student in the university is lending his best effort in building up the team to represent the institution. The stars of last year's champion Y M C A. basketball team of this city, Oliver, Gray, Nixon and Curtis are promising candidates for this year's Varsity The Howard University Basketball team will play the All Star team of New York City on December 10, in New York, but previous to this date some of the men of the Howard University Basketball team will represent the Y M C A team at Washington against the Alpha Physical Club of New York. This game was arranged last year before the men of the university, who were then playing with the Y M C A team, had signified their intention of supporting the team of Howard. As this was a pre arranged game, the men mentioned who were playing with the Y M C A team at the time this game was arranged will fulfill this engagement, after which they will discontinue as players of the Y M C A team and represent the team of the university of which they are students. As the same players represent two teams while in New York City during one week, we hope that the above will enlighten the New York public to this seemingly popular condition and trust that the position of the men representing the two teams will be understood.

Parker, colored musician and politician, came out victor over Judge Black, of the Juvenile Court, in his determination not to send his child to the new Champion Avenue School. He objects to the school because of alleged segregation of the races. When he was prosecuted by school authorities because of the child's alleged truancy, he sent her to Lima. On penalty of going to jail he was ordered several weeks ago by Judge Black to bring her back and send her to school. Parker promised he would "My child never went to the Champion Avenue School," said Parker yesterday "She was not brought home until Thanksgiving, and since then has been going to the Eighth Avenue School. We moved out of the Champion Avenue District." The hearing of the case of Charles T. Smith and Parker, colored men, in which they seek to enjoy the board of education from making the Champion Avenue School one for colored children only, was begun last week before Judge Rogers. A bitter fight will be made. Randolph W. Walton, of counsel for the Negroes, said they expected to prove that the boundaries excluded white children from the district. In a reply to the board's answer the complainants yesterday declared the board told what was not true when it said that it had no knowledge that the teachers for the Champion Avenue School were all colored. Colored people from all over Ohio are eagerly watching the result of the suit George B. Okey is chief counsel for the colored men, and City Solicitor Weinland is leading the fight for the board APPOMATTOX CLUB ELECTION. Special to The New York Agn. Chicago, Ill.
