VOL. XXIV. No. 14 HATCHING A NEW REVOLUTION New York Papers Seeking to Stir Up Internal Strife in Haiti AMERICAN INTERVENTION If Gen. Firmin Starts Trouble A- merican Bankers Will Appeal to Uncle Sam to Step In. Haitians Are Doing Well Capitalistic Interests Said to be Inspiring Report of Dissatisfaction. Capitalistic influences, through several of the New York papers, are seeking to start an other revolution in Haiti. According to these publications, the black republic will soon be the scene of another revolution, and that the United States will probably intervene and take charge the affairs of the government. It is said that General Erwin will be the leader of the revolution. American bankers, who are deeply interested in Gen. Erwin's movements, will probably ask the United States to intervene to protect their interests as soon as the trouble starts according to reports. In reviewing the final condition of Haiti, the New York Times is the following to say: The Simon mode arrived in Haiti made arriving for a foreign loan this 20,000,000 dollar will be presented Haitian dollars and will be exported to the international markets. The expert is likely in need of funds and wharfs to handle with commerce. These facilities have been developed after other people had published in after other of the proposed business with properties were built in them. The Government made a contract with a French and German associate to underwrite this loan and enormous opportunities for this profit were at once opened up. The French financial scandal in Haiti because it was underwritten in Paris at 80. In other words there was a margin of 20 per cent for profits to the underwriters and profit for the Haitian Government. But the Simon Government went this arrangement a good deal better. Its contract with the French Government was the new loan on a basis of 72 per cent. This is said to have been because, in addition to the usual profits and commissions, President Simon demanded 5,000,000 francs for himself personally. The proceeds of the loan under this contract were from which the 30,000,000 present indebtedness must be deducted, leaving a wholly inadequate sum for the much-needed public improvements. Financial Affairs of Haiti Brought to Attention of Uncle Sam. The situation was brought to the attention of the United States Government, with other provisions of the contract, which brought it clearly within the scope of the Monro Doctrine, entail to a financial occupation of Haiti by the American government such as has been carried out in no many Latin-American countries. It is said that the American State Department made three formal protests to the Haitian Government last September against the consumption of this Monro Doctrine as a result of which it has been declared unprofitable and some of the provisions that made this step imperative to prevent Haiti becoming a financial vassal of European nations were these. The Haitian Government announced the right to issue token money, an attribute to sovereignty, and transferred which right exclusively to the syndicate, which was to establish in Haiti a branch of the American Union insurance for this and other purposes involved. This bank was to take charge of the Haitian treasury, for all purposes. The Government undertook to dispose American and Haitian citizens of bonds of the former issue by authorizing the bank to redeem them at 85 per cent bonds and 25 for 34 per cent bonds. The bank was to take control of the customs. The debt could be redeemed only as a whole, and not before 1920. These provisions were held to constitute invasion of Haitian sovereignty and formed the basis of the protest said to have been made by the State Department. With the breaking down of this arrangement banking interests here are prepared to underwrite the issue, but the contract with the European syndicate comes in the way. Only a revolution could wipe this out, and if Gen Firmin undertakes one and if Gen would be opened for American capital American intervention in Haiti would be opened and the way for this also would be opened by a revolution. Haitians here say it would be welcomed by the substantial people of the republic, who are weary of graft and disorder. A further interest to the United States would be the grant of three Haitian ports by the New Government for naval purposes. These would be at the gateway of the Panama Canal and of great value to the United States. Haitians Living in New York Been Anxious for Revolution. Even should Gen. Firmin decides not to start a revolution, or if it should fail, Haitians in New York say somebody else would certainly start a revolution, and that American intervention headed two revolutions before, both of which failed. He was Minister of Finance and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the regimes of President Hippolyte and Sam. He was a partisan of Gen. Simon in the last revolution, but when Simon was forced by Firmin Minister of Havana and still more prudently transferred him to London later on. Firmin served his country at the Court of St. James without receiving any pay and at the end of that time he determined to return to Haiti. Thereupon Simon proclaimed him a deserter, and branded him as a traitor, which makes him an outlaw under the Haitian constitution. the present financial situation in the "republic" said a Haitian resident of New York recently, "could not possibly be worse. All the Diplomatic Corps and Consuls of the republic are at bay, and Consuls have arbitrarily established a new impost for their own personal necessities. One of them has had the frankness to write to the Secretary of Commerce, that he realizes that he is complying with his conscience in imposing a tax on merchants engaged in the trade, and that the apology of his stems from those of his conscience. The political and financial condition of Hawaii is so deplorable that right-thinking men are brought to the conference that something must be done; that great effort must be made to free the country and that that something is only in the direction of assistance from the United States, the logistic and protector of all the Latin American countries, and the need for visiting conditions, and that is the establishment of an honest and stable government through and by the assistance of the United States. The good intentions, the true patriots, hav- pursuant to all foolish national am- mendations to that no other beneficial service be pursued. The reports to the effect that the American and various of the United States interning and assuming charge at the Indian Government, no advices have been received at The Age office to certify this rumor. MORE SCHOOLS NEEDED Booker T. Washington Says Lack of Educational Facilities is Responsible for Decrease in Population in "Black Belt." I have a lack of educational facilities for Negroes in the Black Belt section of Alabama is prime cause for decrease in population of counties situated there is the opinion of Booker T. Washington. That Macon county, in which Tuskegee Institute is located and where there is a more adequate system of training for the blacks, is the only county in the belt that showed a good increase in population during the last decade, the cities as proof that his theory is correct. Washington gives his arguments in the matter, advocating a system of schools for Negroes, and calling upon the white people to co-operate in the movement as a matter of common good. He says. "I have seen considerable discussion in the Alabama papers bearing on the question as to why the majority of the "Black Belt" counties have during the last ten years, lost population. An examination shows that it is the "Black Belt" counties that have no large cities that have decreased in population. Macon County, however, is an exception, for instead of losing population it has during the last ten years increased in population. In my opinion there are reasons for this. I may not be able to state all the reasons, but I think I know at least one or two reasons why Macon County has gone forward in population instead of going backward. So far as the Negro race is concerned, I am quite sure that Macon County has gained in population because the County Board of Education has been wise enough to encourage and help the colored people to have good public schools in the country districts of the county. The average white man does not realize that no matter what else the average Negro will do without, he wants education for his children. I am not taking time now to discuss the wisdom of all the wants of the Negro, but to state why there are few Negro families in Alabama who would be content to live from year to year in a country community that provides no public school or a school taught in a log cabin for three or four months only during the year, and that with a very poor teacher at its head. This condition means that the Negro family becomes restless, dissatisfied and seeks as soon as possible to better its condition, and to do this it moves to a community where school facilities are better. I do not believe that the leading white people, and especially land owners of the Black Belt counties know how little money some Negro schools receive, actually know of communities where Negro teachers are being paid only from $15 to $17 per month for services for a period of three or four months in the year. This, of course, means practically no schools. In making this statement I am not overlooking the fact that even where the disposition exists to help the Negro public schools the money is often lacking to a large extent, but I am stating facts so far as I know them. More money is paid for Negro convicts than for Negro teachers. About $46 per month is now being paid for first-class able-bodied Negro convicts, $38 for second-class and $36 for third-class, for twelve months in the year London of Labor Union Says Everything His Done Done to Give Lie to Article Published Some Weeks Ago. The American Federationist, the official organ of the American Federation of Labor, edited by Samuel Gompers, President of the Federation, in the January issue of that publication, just published, discusses at length the hullabaloo which followed as a result of Mr. Gompers' supposed views as published in the Associated Press of the country the latter part of November. Mr. Gompers, who is said to have written the editorial in question, which is published under the caption, "The Negro in the A. F. of L." says: In the course of an address before the St. Louis Trades and Labor Council at St. Louis, on the evening of November 17, during the sessions of the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, we alluded to the difficulties of organizing the Negro labor of the South, recalling to the minds of others the colored people as a whole for fully exercising and enjoying the possibilities existing in trade unionism. Among the newspaper representatives present, one reporter, and one only, possessed sufficiently the faculty of perverted ingenuity to enable him to construe our words as text of an article proclaiming to the world that "Gompers reads the Negro out of the organized labor." But "Gompers" was a newspaper published this "beat" and beat it certainly was, in point of pure fiction without even any of the common foundations of resemblance to fact that often support half-truths appearing in the sensational press. This piece of "news," however, was selzed upon by a representative of the Associated Press, perhaps in the person of the unsurprising reporter himself and went over the country. Prenticey Denied Anti-Segreg Statement. The next day, at the convention, on the earliest opportunity, immediately after a special order of business had been dispensed of, we rose and made the following statement, which was at once given to the press: Last evening I attended a banquet tended to the delegates by the St. Louis Trades and Labor Council. One of the morning papers published a statement that does me a very grave injustice and this labor movement a great wrong. The statement read that I had read the Negro out of the labor movement. No greater misstatement could be done. Plainly, have we to do it, and if I have the power I would not do it. In reviewing the organized labor movement abroad and in the United States I called attention to the conditions confronting the working people of our time and incidentally among several things to which I referred I called attention to the fact that we had with us a population of eight million Negroes, and that they are but a little more than half a century from a conditionquence it could not be expected that, as a rule, they would have the same conception of their rights and duties as other men of labor have in America. Instead of 'reading the Negro out of the labor movement' my contention and the contention of the American Federation of Labor is to try to bring them into the organized labor movement of our country. We know that best, and will continue to do so, to organize the men and women of toil without regard to their religion, their politics, their nationality, their sex or their race. I could not permit this entire day to pass by without thus publicly, in this convent, our visitors and their representatives of the press, make this correction. The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor duly took consideration of the incident, and on November 26 delivered a supplementary report dealing with it, from which the following extracts are given: In view of the very grave misrepresentatives by the press of the statement upon the Negro question, my statement, in the address which he delivered in this city on the evening of November 17, and in addition to the refutation which he made on the floor of this convention on the following day, we feel that it is due to the American Federation of Labor and that the labor which we represent that we, as your duty constituted officers, should take cognizance thereof. Numerous telegrams and letters, newspaper clippings and editorials, from every section of the country, all protesting against the declaration which he was alleged to have written, and identifying the identi- gent Gompers, thus demonstrating that the misrepresentation of his statement has been given wide publicity, something which is not only a grave injustice to him, but a great wrong to our cause, the organised labor, movement of the country, which this convention of Federated labor has the honor to represent. It is inconceivable that, in view of President Gompers's record of long years of life devoted to the cause of wage warfare, of those who tell that he and through him the American Federation of Labor should be placed before the world in the position of declaring that any class of wage-carryers, no matter what race, creed, sex, or nationality, should be "read out" of the labor movement. So far from closing the doors of the organized labor movement against any wage-carner, no matter of what creed, of what color, of what nationality, of what calling, of which sex, the American Federation of Labor annually exerts its efforts and toll in the endeavor to bring them within the beneficent fold of the trade union of every trade and calling without respect to color or sex, religion or nationality. There are now affiliated to the our secretary from year to year, showing the amounts spent annually in organization work will confirm us in this statement. The convention of the American Federation of Labor have repeatedly declared for the organization of all wage-carners without regard to class, race, or religion sex, or nationality, declaration embodied in some of the literature which is kept constantly on hand at our headquarters and which is widely distributed from year to year. The constitution of the American Federation of Labor, article 11, section 6, provides that: Separate charters may be issued to control labor unions, local unions, or federal local unions,合众国, exclusive colored unions, where, in the judgment of the Executive Council it appears advisable and to the best interest of the trade union movement to do so. There are now affiliated to the American Federation of Labor under that provision a number of local unions of colored workmen and a number of centrally bodied companies of local unions of colored workmen. There are a number of colored workmen, members in good standing of the unions of their trades, holding commissions as organizers for the American Federation of workers, they keep in touch with headquarters and other good work among the tollers of their race. Federation Makes Other Friendly Ad The colored people of the first Baptist congregation of St. Louis invited us to address them on the subject and on Sunday evening, November 27, we spoke in their church to an audience that entirely filled the auditorium Our statements—which could hardly be called "explanations," for on our part the audience was not interested in what was discussed on protest without question as the fates of the case. We had said nothing before the Trade and Labor Council, nor have we on any other occasion in all the years of our laborers, which could possibly be construed to place obstacles in the way of the organization of the colored people so peculiarly the labor movement From the movement, members of the negotiation contradictions of the canard sprung by the reporter were sent out over the country, as had previously been done by many labor men and others who knew the truth. Thus, so far as possible, no step that could be taken to deny the reporter's story was overlooked. But he had done the damage. To this day prosecution is a heeding exercise the American Federation of Labor against our assumed exclusion of the Negro from the labor movement. They have come in the form of regrets from friends, denunciations from enemies, judicial head-waggings from statesmen, howls from fanatics. Some writers beg us to "reconsider," some think that we do not deserve the confidence of the people to judge our sentiments as "repreensible," one editor pronounces us as "drunk, brutal, or stupid." Well, we recognise it as part of our duty to take the world as it is, without overvacation. To control the potentialities of cynical and imaginative mischief makers having access to the press and media, we need to invest in public opinion. In addition to our work, which includes asking our fellow-citizens to consider thoughtfully the sentiments and achievements of trade unionism, we are obliged constantly to go back over trade history to understand the role of micropresentations, misinterpretations, other forms of injury to which at every step unionism is subjected. We ask our readers to remember this Sit-Lou incident the next time their papers tell them about some awful paper that has just propelled trade union man has just persecuted. They may safely wager ten to one that he hasn't done it. TO PAY OFF DEPOSITORS Conditions of Northern Bank Not as Bad as First Thought—One Colored Depositor Has. $14,000 Involved—Neprose Also "Bit" by Closing of Washington Savings Bank. According to late reports, the condition of the Northern Bank, which was closed last week by the State Superintendent of Banks, is not as bad as the first examination indicated. There is a possibility of the depositors being paid seventy-five per cent on the dollar, at least. It has developed that the number of colored depositors affected by the closing of the 185th street branch runs into the hundreds, the deposits consisting of personal and business accounts. A well known colored saloon keeper on 185th street is said to have been one of the "hardest hit" by the closing of the bank, having $14,000 on deposit. The action of the State Superintendent of Banks in suspending the business of the Washington Savings Bank, located in Columbus Circle, a few days ago, also involved hundreds of colored depositors. The affair of the savings institution is not in such good shape as those of the Northern Bank, both of which were owned by Panda, who is now in Washington Bank. FRIENDLY RACIAL RELATIONS Leading Whites Speak Highly of Town and the People—Career of Berry O'Kelly, Leading Citizen. Special to THE NEW YORK AOB. Method, N. C., Jan 2—Method is a small village about three miles west of Raleigh on the lines of the Southern and the Seaboard Air Line railways. The village proper is occupied by Negroes, while the large, fertile farms immediately adjacent are owned and operated by wealthy white people. These farms have been raised to a high state of cultivation and area among the finest properties of the kind in this section of the State. Method is not a compact community its people are, for the most part, farmers, and cultivate from ten to one hundred and fifty acres each. There are perhaps, about two hundred families. They are a hard-working and thirty class and are doing well. In the earlier years of its growth Method was called "Save Rent." It acquired this name reason of the fact that many of its settlers bought the land and erected small houses in order to avoid the exorbitant rents then prevalent in the cities. Afterward it took the name "Slab Town" because most of the houses were built of slabs. As many provinces progressed it took on more pretentious arts and became known as a Mason Village. Louis M. Mishler is intelligent, progressive spirit, being a leader of the people, the village took its new name from him. Thirty-two years ago the writer had charge of the public school here Chas H. Woods's and Berry O'Kelly were then supplying the needs of the villagers by means of a small grocery store which was run under the management of Kelly Woods was the chairman of the school committee. Some years later he with drew from the business left the State and settled in Oklahoma where he is now residing. Rise of Berry O'Kelly. The business was continued by Berry O'Kelly. He prospered. The settlement grew in numbers. The surrounding forests recoded before the triumphant tread of undaunted spirits, and gave place to fruittal fields held, comtitable cottages replaced the slab built houses. Among these are now to be seen some large and beautiful residences. A post-office was established. A depot and freight office wee added. While these changes were in process the name of the place also underwent a change, and has since found a place upon the map of the State as Method. The place once derisively dubbed "Save Rent" or "Slab Town," has developed to a most important base of supplies for an extensive and prosperous area of white and Negro farmers, and Berry O'Kelly's business has mounted up into volumes most astounding. With a genius for mercantile pursuits and tireless industry he gave himself to work, work, work. By close, continuous application, by a thorough study of those great laws underlying successful commercial enterprise, by promptness in meeting and discharging obligations he has organized a magnificent business and amassed a fortune. His splendid ratings in the commercial budgets give him unlimited credit in the wholesale markets of the country. His straightforward, open, square dealing with his customers has established universal confidence. His uniform and unaffected courtesy and kindness of heart have secured to him the genuine esteem of all who know him. Mr O'Kelly is postmaster, railroad agent, chairman of the school committee and a sort of general director of the affairs of the community. Sunny in temper, genial in manner, sympathetic in opinion and of large, optimistic faith, he has formed attachment among all classes and all colors of our people of which any man of any race might well feel proud. He has commanded success by his personality, his tact, his unswerving integrity, and his devotion to his patrons. He is unassuming, unselfish, "seeks not his own," "is not puffed up" and is satisfied in the pursuit of his chosen sphere of activity. He is a generous contributor both in personal labors and financial means to the support of worthy enterprises whether of business or charity. In politics he is a Republican of the old school but by his sound and sane course has drawn to him the best people of all parties. As an instance of this attention is invited to the following correspondence. It may be proper to state that Col Ashley Horne is one of the most prominent, one of the wealthiest, and one of the most influential Democrats in North Carolina. He was one of the two leading candidates for the gubernatorial nomination in the last general election, and failed of success by a narrow margin. He is a golden-hearted gentleman of the old school, honest, patriotic, sincere. When such men are put forth by whatever party Negroes should have no hesitation in giving them earnest and hearty support. Horne-O'Kelly Letters. The following correspondence took place recently between Col. Horne and Mr O'Kelly. Method, N C, Nov. 23, 1910. Col Ashley Horne. Clayton, N C. My dear sir In your election as a representative from your county to the ensuing General Assembly I feel that the Negroes of the state have occasion for sincere congratulations. While we, as a race, have given allegiance to another party the fact remains that when men of your stamp are put forward we do feel that our best interests will be promoted by their election. The Negroes of your counts, as, indeed, the Negroes part of the state who know you speak of you in terms of highest confidence. Accept the assurance of my hearty congratulations. Larry O. Kelly, who was of Wetland Wetland County is one of the most prolific and successful Norwegians in North Carolina. He is made a fortune, whose firm is well as a big store, and by his course has won the confidence of the white people of Wake County. He knows the bird of man is best qualified to govern. Village Offers Many Opportunities. I have written this much about the career of Mr O'Kelly, but not for the purpose of extolling him. I am simply pointing out what one Negro of common sense, industry, perseverance and faith has accomplished that his example may, in one measure, afford inspiration to others. Method is taking on new life. Three churches have been built. A public school house erected and soon to be enlarged and modernized. Mr O'Kelly contemplates an expansion of his already large business. Here are offered excellent opportunities for the organization and successful operation of other business enterprises. A shirt factory or a hosiery mill or both could be made paying investments not, only in themselves, but would add to the population, create other demands, and result in a general enhancement of values. I know of no place anywhere offering superior opportunities for the foundation of a great Negro community than is right here presented at Method. SCHOOL GETS DONATION Braxton, Miss, Jan 3—J R. Webster of Comby has donated the framing for a two-story fifty room dormitory and domestic science building for the Pinyu Woods Normal and Industrial Institute, a Negro institution located at this place. The merchants of Braxton have also given very liberally toward the building fund, and the school will be launched under very favorable auspices. One of its principal benefactors is Edward N. Taylor, an ex-slave, and one of the most highly respected Negroes in this county, who gave forty acres of land and $50 toward the establishment of the school. The main purpose of the institution is to teach the country Negro boys and girls the dignity of labor, and how to till the soil and engage in domestic science pursuits intelligently. The head of the institution is Prof Laurence Clifton Jones, and confidence is felt that he will build up a school for Negroes that will eventually compare favorable with the famous Tuskegee Institute. FORTNIGHTLY CLUB ENTERTAINS The Fortnightly Whist Club held its annual reception and assembly at Phillips Hall Friday evening, December 30. Many visitors from Greater New York, Baltimore, Boston, Washington and the neighboring cities were among those present. The evening gowns worn by the ladies were beautiful and becoming. Supper was served at midnight, after which dancing was indulged in until 8 o'clock. The Whist Club was entertained Saturday evening by Miss Etta Cannon. The members of the club are Dr. James Stroud, president; Emmet Carter, vice-president; Miss Etta Cannon, secretary; Miss Florence Jackson, treasurer; Miss Mimie Smith, Amelia Downs, Goldie and Addie Long, Laura Jonea, Julia Dickerson, Mae Smith, Alice Sousaand, Louise Redfield, and Benjamin Withers, Edward Carter, J.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5,CENTS ANOTHER MOVE BY "LILY WHITES" North Carolina State Executive Committee Endorses President Taft PERTINENT RESOLUTIONS Refers to "Emancipation of Republican Party in the South from Detrimental Conditions Probable Alliance Between Colored, Voters and Conservative White Republicans in the State. Special to THE NEW YORK AGM. GREENSBORY, N. C., Jan 3.—In the State of North Carolina the Republican are holding the center of the political stage, due to a bitter right now waging over patronage, and an attempt of the radical element to Lily Whitize" the party. From present indications the G.O.P. of this State, before many weeks have passed, will be represented by as many varieties as a well-known pickle, manufacturing concern boasts of. Not content with the poor showing made by the Lily Whites" throughout the South last November, that faction heartily in favor of making an effort to eliminate the Negro voter as a factor is active, and succeeded in putting through a resolution last week at a meeting of the State Executive Committee which smells of "Lily Whitesism." The resolution calls special attention to the southern attitude of the President, and to his wisdom and justice in regard to abrogating the referee system. Special stress is put on the "granticipation of the Republican party in the South from conditions and policies which have tended to record its growth and work to its detriment." Negro Voters Wise to Resolutions Negroes of this State, upon reading the resolutions passed by the State Executive Committee, readily understood that the radical element of the committee got into control and started the ball-rolling to put the "Lily Whites" in power in North Carolina. While the actions of the radicals is not as pronounced as that rabid element of Democrats in the South who publicly demand the elimination of the Negro in politics, yet despite the diplomatic carriage in which the resolutions are clothed the Negroes see the intent and purposes of the "Lily Whites," and are already preparing to fight back. It is well known in North Carolinas that hundreds of Negroes voted the Democratic ticket at the recent election, and while their attitude has greatly pleased the Democrats, the "Lily Whites," on the other hand, have not been any too careful about showing their resentment toward the Negro voters. It is said that while President Taft is not averse to receiving the support of the Republicans of North Carolina, he does not intend to support any policy fostered by the Republicans in this State which will mean the elimination of the Negro vote and cause greater dissatisfaction than now exists among the colored voters of the country What the Resolutions Say. Following are the resolutions passed by the North Carolina State Executive Committee: Whereas, The present Republican State organization in North Carolina was brought into existence by the rank and file of the party as a result of wide-spread approval of and general response to the attentions of residents in the State convention in which he declared that the old southern referee system was the greatest handicap to the building up of a militant and successful Republican party in the South; and Whereas, The State chairman, in connection from the State convention a unanimous election to the State chairmanship, declared for an open-door policy, and also further declared that he construed the meaning of the action of the convention as an endorsement of the Republican Turtle southern policy against the constitution of the referee system; and Whereas, It is the desire of the President to co-operate with the majority of the party, represented by the committee in furthering his idea of appointments to office and the advancement of Republican principles and whereas, The President has made it known in his recent message that a postmaster serving one term satisfactorily to the department and to the patrons of the office is to be considered prima facie worthy of a second term; therefore, Resolved, By the Republican State executive committee in meeting assembled: 1. That we recognise the wisdom and justice of the above enunciated ruling and policy as in harming the interests of the President and to the abrogation of the referee system and the enunciation of Timothy Baptist Church. The Christmas tree at Timothy was very nice. Little Brehah Dahoney took the honors of the children speakers. The pastor and Mrs. Newkirk were among the Christmas tree shakers and were favored with presents. New Year's night brought out a great many to make their New Year resolutions and Timothy was favored with a good offering. The pastor was out as usual on Sunday morning, feeling very much refreshed after his holiday celebration, and preached a good sermon. Sunday night he preached his special sermon. The Number Seven." St. David's—Bronx. A large gathering was present on Watch Night to pray at the departure of the old year and the arrival of the new year. The rector, Rev E. G. Cliffon, preached an instructive and comforting sermon from the words, "The Acceptable Year of the Lord." On Sunday, New Year's Day, the rector preached both morning and evening to large congregations. At the morning service there was a celebration of the Holy Communion. The subject of the sermons at both services was based on the circumcision The friends of St. David's are cordially invited to the Men's Club "Phoebe Snow Concert and Reception" on February 2d at Edling's Casino, 165th street and St. Ann's avenue. The ladies are requested to wear white dresses and violets. Violets will be distributed as souvenirs at the door. This entertainment should appeal to our colored friends in Greater New York, as it is the first of its kind ever given by a colored church and will be very unique. The best talent obtainable will be used at the concert and a treat is promised to all who avail themselves of the opportunity for a night of rare enjoyment. The Men's Club of St. David's Church has become a criterion for unusual entertaining. St. Mark's Church Rev. Dr. brooks preached to a large and enthusiastic audience on Sunday last. His text was Genesis 5 24. "And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him away." Enoch's life, Dr. Brooks said, was short, but he achieved immortality. Every individual should build a memorial that shall outlast gold, silver or brass. The records of many great men of our times have been lost in their lives and forgotten. The name of Enoch has withstood the waters of the flood. The names of good men will always live in our hearts. Nothing, continued the preacher, pays like righteousness. It does not depend upon how long we live, but upon what we put into our lives. It is possible for the shortest life to affect the world for ten thousand years to come. John Sumnerfield lived only about 27 years, yet he immortalized himself. Jesus Christ accomplished more in about three years than a million preachers can ever make known. To walk with God we need not forsake any honorable calling, for if our hearts and minds are pure we can honor and magnify God in whatever place we occupy. "While walking with God our paths are not always smooth or strewn with flowers, said Dr. Brooks. The conclusion of the season is made an earnest plea to the unavowed to forsake their ways of sin and take Jesus Christ for their companion at the very beginning of the new year. Many accepted that most gracious invitation. Owing to the inclement weather the Lyceum was very poorly attended. A short discourse on the value of personal evangelistic work was given by the chapain, E. N. Broadnax. The Sabbath school gave its annual Christmas tree entertainment last Friday evening. Mrs. E. Handy Berkley had charge. Quite a number received prizes for faithful attendance. Every department of the church is devoting all its energy to the revival that is now in progress. Following the services on next Sunday morning the first quarterly love feast will be the place. If you did not attend the operetta on last Wednesday evening you missed a rare treat. Following the custom of previous years, special religious services will be conducted each Sunday afternoon during the month of January. Prominent speakers will appear at the meeting. A Mock Trial is being planned for the first Thursday night in February. First Baptist Church Down in the little mission in West 16th street, discovered by the Ams correspond- ent a few weeks ago, the services were wet attended. Hev Mr. Cole preached and an evening. The little mission is fast growing into an in- fluential little church. St. Paul Baptist Church St. Paul's Baptist Church in West 35th street began the new year with a full attendance at each of its services. The revival began a the Watch meeting service, which was the largest ever seen at St. Paul's. The church became the St. Paul's on the round of the churches the congregation was singing a revival hymn. Rev. H. Arthur Brother, the pastor, preached both morning and evening last Sunday. The choir, under the direction of Mime, V. E. Scott, offered special music for the occasion. Dr. Gilbert Remembered Rev. Dr M. W. Gilbert, who resigned his charge at M. Ulf. Baptist Church a few weeks ago, was tendered a farewell dinner last Thursday evening in Asl. He was joined by his wife, of the Y. M. C. A., of which Dr. Gilbert was a member. The dinner was quite an affair, to which only the executive members were invited. After dinner the two men went to the dinners, all of them testimonials to the high character and ability of Dr. Gilbert. Those present included Dr E. P. Roberts Henry Dornell, Geo. W. Allen, Prof. J.

JNO. M. ROYALL, 21 West 134th Street OSTON'S TWO CELEBRATIONS Honor of Mudsoos and Morgan De Not break as They Pass Away — Disgrace Pliers for Celebration of Sum- mer Birthday. Brought to THE NEW YORK AGE. Boston, Mass. January 3.—Boston is with plans for celebrating the anniversary of somebody's death and annual the hat passing business in continuity with these celebrations goes immerily every day. This plea- aing business has become such a habit our people that they cannot a year be satisfied with one celebra- bur but are to have two. It seem that the Trotter and Mr Morgan no longer ask as they pass by, so they go to opposition celebrations of the annu- ary of Charles Sumner's午夜; one of these celebrations to be in Faundel Hall and the other in white church. We understand that as soon as the summer celebration is over, that the hat will begin to pass around again in order to get money to celebrate the anniversary of Wendell Phillips. It is wisdom that many weeks pass in Boston without the hat being passed around to get money. We very much fear that many of the people who are engaged in passing the hat for these various celebrations depend upon this method for making their living or a large part of it at least.

Two hundred fifty worthy families were remembered with a magnificent big dinner on Christmas Day. The Salvation Army gave out or supplied food and drink to well burdened hikers. The officers of the army said more families were supplied this year than last, and many a home where no cheer nor propping of happiness shone was blessed by the God of thought and goodness of the Army. There was also a Christmas tree for the 15 children who live at the home. It was well stocked with presents people on the outside can only imagine the great joy of those people over that grand spread.

Make Good. Supreme Correspondence of Twin Ace. Austin, Tex., Jan. 3—Tom Brown, the congenerial伯伯 in the adjutant-general's department, won another distinction last week. The incoming governor and administration made the announcement that they were going to make changes in all departments from chief clerks to spitwash washers. Mr. Brown, who has been in this position for several years and connected with several fraternities and also quartermaster-general of the colored milith, came under this order. A Swede was given the position, but an American was discharged and Tom Brown was reinstated. Governor Campbell, the retiring governor, said "Tom is the best pennman in the state capital and his services are required in all the departments at different intervals to do expert and fancy writing of different documents." The Texas capital is one of the world's wonders, and it is quite appropriate that it should contain a wonder as Tom Brown.

Emancipation Proclamation Services Held—Dr. Ernest Lyon Chief Speaker —Talks on Sepregation—Reconstitutions Adopted Lauding Booker T. Washington. Missouri correspondence of The ACM. Baltimore, Md, Jan 3.—That the segregated position which the race occupies in this country has been largely responsible for the great progress made by the race since the abolition of slavery was the view taken by Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States Minister to Liberia, in an address memorandum of the eighth anniversary of the signing of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, held last night at John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church. The services were largely attended by prominent citizens of both races, who listened intently as the various speakers spoke words of wisdom and counsel. Resolutions offered by City Councilman Harry S. Cummings mentioned in giving terms the great progress of New York in 1865, issued the proposed exposition project in 1918; extolled the diplomatic services of Dr Lyon and declared that the race is discriminated against in the United States Navy. In an eloquent address, Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington eulogized Lincoln, Sumner, Garrison and the other leaders of the abolition and the race, and spoke of the present-day opportunities and problems of the race. The issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation," said Dr. Lyon, "marks the most noteworthy event in the history of the colored people in this country. It is a declaration of the rights and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, upon which, not only the rights of citizenship and franchise are based, but the right to enjoy every other constitutional privilege, which is the heritage and the citizenship of a common country." After saying that he believed that disfranchisement and other anti-Negro measures would not endure, and metioning some of "segregation, self-imposed, is not a bad thing. It may have a bad name and a questionable origin, but it has helped colored people this color. Wherever they have the colored man has become an economic factor, without it we would be without representation in the City Council of Baltimore to-day. It is a means in disguise to bring the race together. We object to segregation by law, but the race would not get together unless forced by unpleasant methods. This method shows that class is trying to get away from race. The operative might not agree with this, but it is nevertheless true." The resolutions adopted read "We hereby endorse the effort to train on a scale comparable with the importance of that event, at which the program is fully demonstrated and the recognition of the able services being rendered by Dr. Booker Washington in the interest of the limited extent of the race, we hereby extend him an invitation to tour the State of Maryland in the interest of said project. "We also call attention to the present which by the severe discrimination on account of race and color, has compelled the state to the season's class. Therefore, we respectively invite the attention of the N.A.F.A. to the fact and ask as a primary remedy that one or more vessels be manned by Negro seamen. The resolutions with praise for the service rendered the race by John H. Murphy, the veteran editor of the Afro-American Ledger, and commends the plan for giving a monster banquet in honor of his 70th birthday. PROGRESS SEEN EVERYWHERE. Fred R. Moore Sweeps Through Grand Old Comfort of Banks, Mortgory and Jones, and Sass the Wonderful Things of a Decade. Regular Correspondence of THE ACE. Vickersburg, Miss. January 3—Since my last news letter I have visited Tupelo, where I attended the Conference of Bishop Cottrell, who assisted me in its work. I have visited the institutions. Bishop Cottrell has the confidence of the white people and black people of his State, and is doing a splendid work. He is a strict disciplinarian and insists that the minima be treated with respect to their work. The minister who does wrong has no chance with him. From Tupelo I went to Mound Bayou and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Banks, the descendant of the Mound Bayou would require more space than The Age can give in one issue. I have promised a descriptive article on the general makeup of the town later on and was also on hand by Mr. Banks, Montgomery, and inspected his farm, cattle and cotton gin. Mr. Montgomery is a farmer of no mean order, and has educated all of her daughter to cotton gin and the properties of Banks and Francis. A Mr. Crozier of New Orleans has purchased a large tract of land on which he will invest in up-to-date successful contractor at New Orleans. The home of Chas. Banks would fit it well even in New York. The Negroes of Mound Bayou are the owners of Mound Bayou does a thriving business. From here I went to Clarkeodale and saw the many evidences of progress. Negroes from the country districts by the hundreds, buying Christmas presents for 40 per cent of people. The Chinese and Greeks do business on a money-making scale. The Chinese own grocery and hardware stores and marry colored women, and get Negro trade. Same conditions obtain Negro business and a grocery store, with here and there a bank and drug store, but haven't yet learned the habit of getting closer together in business. They are happy and have no worries, but many illiterate Negroes own from 10 acres to 5,000 acres and market from 20 bales to 1,000 bales of cotton with bank accounts of from $50 to $5,000 and more, mostly in the white man's bank drawing no interest, with the Negroes and many times more accommodating, paying 4 per cent, annually. The white man seems to have more magnetism. The Jews control largely in the trades. The bank at Greenville of which J. W. H. was fairly business, and the Negroes own many good homes. Negro people rent from colored people and live side by side with them. A handsomely finished bost of BISHOP ALLEN, FREDERICK DOUGLASS or BOOKER T.

The Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, Ala., is the first, Bank of Birmingham, third From here I went to Vickersburg, and was the guest of Rev and E. P. P. Jones who have a beautiful home and three most interesting children. E. P. P. Jones is the value property. I would see him is easily worth $30,000. He is a hustler and is known far and near for his kindness of heart. He has two churches one here and the other at Port Gibson, each with a man named the members swear by their pastor. He gives liberally and without bluster. The Negroes of Vickersburg own much property, have a Union Grocery, Com pan manned the store, and three doctors and little small stores of various kinds, and the Union Savings Bank, of which T. Ewing is the cashier. The confidence of the people is somewhat shaken by the Negroes, and the Union Bank. It is said however that the depositors will receive about 20 per cent of their money. W. F. Mollison is the most widely known lawyer in the State and has the most white bar. The Negroes from the farming soils come into Vickersburg by the thousands, many of them with porks being with money for the funds and many of them being for a movement for income the Negroes to organize cooperative stores and get some of this money. The New York Age will hereafter circulate articles of interest. State I visited Holland, the home of Roscoe Conkling Simmons, and spent the evening with Mr and Mrs E. P. Simmons, who have a most comfortable home. Everybody in Miss stapled known Roscoe as the wife of him, and they admire his writings. Port Gibson is a good town and Thomas Richardson, a Negro is Postmaster and has held office since the days of President Grant with the exception of the two terms of Cleveland. The white people, he endorses him, office is Al, and he has the privilege of seeing the people of the city regardless of color. At Natechez I was entertained by Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Dumas, who gave a dinner in my honor, at which were present Drs. Scott and Harris, Dr. G. W. Rumfield, J. R. Ross, the Missa Julia Walker, Edna Ranland and Anna Beck. Dr. and Mrs. Dumas have a beautiful home on one of the principal streets, and are blessed with a fine brick store and a sanitarium, in which he employs five persons. He is kept constantly busy. His practice is said to be worth $10,000 a year. Professor Ross is the cashier of the house, and is doing a good, conservative business. Dr. J. Banks is on the board of pension examiners. Negroes own much valuable property. The relations between blacks and whites is on the improve. Washington is far-reaching here. Almost in every home, particularly in the farming districts, his picture is in their homes. He is admired and respected and they are giving heed to his advice. Washington generally accept him as their greatest leader. It is amusing to hear some of the expressions of some in their comment on the Northern Negro who gives forth solving advice. He is a leader. Dr. Washington represents us and we are working our salvation, by getting property, educating our children and getting a bank account, and joining church. We like the doctrine of The New Age, we like the newspaper, but we don't want no fire-eating doctrine." The Negroes of Mississippi are brave. All recognize the difficult confrontation with the white way and constantly winning friends. The Negroes have and are getting splendid all the time and are all the best I have been. Many of them own entire blocks. F. R. M. Providence Notes Regular Correspondence of Ten Acm. Providence, R. I. Jan. 3.—A very pleasant surprise party was given to D. T.

Publishing Company The year of our Lord 1910 will always be memorable. The death of Tolstoy, the Russian genius, marks that year forever. Historians may have reason to go back to that twelve-month in search of important records. Politicians everywhere, on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond the Pacific, may refer to it in counting the effect of an awakened conscience of the people in all lands and among all classes. Statesmen may call it up in the course of the consideration of world-questions and topics, but the democracy of men, now growing and asserting its powers and purposes with alarming vigor, will count it among the important and cherished reasons as long as the memory of the great Russian teacher, patrot and author remains fadeless. Science, invention, art, literature and statesmanship have each made progress since "Time's great clock" struck in the year. Progress is not conditional. It is, or it isn't. It is, however, comparative. Moreover, progress is no longer confined to the hurrahs of personal triumph. We measure progress now by the general advancement of mankind through each achievement, small or large, of every effort. For example, science and invention have given us the literal flying squadron of airships. The year 1910 has witnessed both the perfection of the invention and the daring of all and the death of the few of the brave men who have attempted to conquer air, unknown and unseen yet nature's mightiest force. When it appeared that the operation of air-ships who practicable idea, giving large promise of early fruition, statesmen and economists began to consider the use of these in war, and in the business of peace. The men who had given us the ships of air became, then, not vulgar triumphers, but benefactors of knowledge. The year just closed saw Peace in the midst of her resplendent triumph. Not only have the leaders of all nations more highly resolved against war, whenever the least possibility of its escape becomes apparent, but The Hague, the center of civilization's effort to promote arbitration and the spirit of it, to place government on the foundation of reason and increase understanding as the essence of wisdom in the affairs of nations, has become the capital of the world. Mr. Carnegie, prince of the brotherhood of man, recently gave $100,000,000 to promote peace. The rulers and premiers of all the important governments of earth, following the ironmaster's lead, have willingly recorded themselves on the side of peace. This does not mean at all that we shall have war no more. Until the end of time there will be wars and rumors of war. Never upon the earth will the time come when the pruning books shall be beaten into ploughshares: for the imperfection of man is to all everywhere apparent, and it is as incurable as the laws of nature are inexorable. But the Carnegie and similar grits and the attitude of the thinking thinkers of the world makes happy the hope that wars shall be less frequent in the future, and that they shall not be waged at all unless reason and counsel are utterly incompetent against situations as they appear and conditions as they arise. The year 1910, then, may be called, the beginning of the wars of peace. Literature and the arts have made no marked advance, yet the progress of each is rather paradoxical—progress is proven by the absence of retrogression Each great field has sustained losses of men who had already enriched them. No new poet of vision and power has appeared, and despite the promise, the great novelist of the period is not come among us. Mark Twam, the uncrowned king of American literature, passed away, and, as heretofore indicated, Tolstoy passed off a stage upon which he had been chief actor for more than a quarter of a century. The drama has had a rejuvenation in Europe and a demoralization in North America; while the art of music has enjoyed a large and happy growth and a newer appreciation in our own country, where a fictile love of music fattens jobless Italian singers and French soloists whose art the vulgar spongia can never touch. Ah! The material property of our community since the bitter and ruining panic of three years ago. The people, given to riotous living, have come to a proper appreciation of economy, and have recognized that before nature's awful laws all peoples are judged alike. A fortnight ago Secretary Wilson, the grand old man of the American farm, gave us startling and gratifying figures upon our products, our progress and our resources. The Secretary writes "Nothing short of omniscience can grasp the value of the farm products of the United States this year. At no time in the world's history has one country produced farm products worth one year with a value reaching nine billion dollars—$8,928,000,000." No boost accompanies the statement, which of itself is sufficient. The other interests, mining, manufacture, banking, etc., show a relative growth, and the general well-being of the people, the end of all government, is agreeably established everywhere. In this respect, the people's conception of government must necessarily increase with prosperity. Let prosperity come with honor! In the affairs of nations the year of 1910 added to history a few pages, but now the less important because they are few. The progress of popular rights in China, the conquest of Korea by Japan, the fluctuating attitude of London towards its several little Africas, the progress of the Young Turk movement and the gradual evolution of the Russian people, not to put our anger upon the curtainless fance of Ireland—a farce since great O'Connell passed away and Parnell died disgraced by an ignorant mob of cross-cuts in the species of man—are no one of them as important in their bearing upon government and history as the abdication of the king of Portugal, his pittable flight, and the succession of the republic. In America, Mexico, the land of the free in truth, celebrated during the year its 100th anniversary, and Diaz unmercifully choked the life out of a revolution. Canada, gentle neighbor, yet dangerous friend, keeps up her steady march under Britains power and Britain's glory South America is free of strife. Internecine war for the moment has subsided, be assured the reader will, that a no small number of South American revolutions are hatched by American newspapers, too many of which are controlled by those that feast on the instability of government! Cuba moves on in the way of freedom, resisting every attempt of wicked Americans who live and rob in Havana, and the New York press, to degrade the Cuban blacks to whom, and to whom alone; Cuba owes its final success, bloody though it was, against the barbarous yoke of Spain. The United States, that whirlwind of democracy—against the swaggering curses of the cavalier, the sickening hypocrisy of the Yankee, and the thunderous threats of the Thor-like sons of the West, the old flag still triumphs. The year but a few hours shipped away saw the morning of the terrible day of struggle for the nation; the mighty battle; the people against power. Then reason against, the people gone drunk! The koreanist Party, the grandest political group time ever saw, bit the dust of defeat in yesteryear, because it departed from the path of its glory, and abuse, deceit, vituperation, dishonor, distrust, ambition—the dregs of these had made the party leaders drunk. Defeat sobered them defeat is a mighty soberer. The party went down because the people, viewing the ugly wrangle among the responsible party leaders, decided that a leaderless party could offer no positive program of progress in government. THE AGE does not share the unclouded optimism of the wise and beneficent Taft, but we do believe that, Envy had aside and Union the Watchword, the party will come victoriously out of the political storm of 1912. The survey of the year is interesting nothing is really interesting to undiseased minds, save history, which is a fact, and immortality, the fact. We must, however, pass briefly to the movements of the colored race in America, the Africans, and the acts and words of those that have dealt with us. Nineteen hundred and ten was a golden year. Indeed, the golden age of the blacks is returning in a strange way, a way beyond mortal comprehension, in the golden land of the reserved hemisphere. In every direction, in the pursuits of peace, in the spirit of our wonderful civilization, in the broad fields of scholarship and cultivation—at every forge of life, the amazing triumph of the Negro has been constant. And it has been accompanied by the good will of the great white race in whose midst Providence has placed and sealed us for a purpose who shall say what that purpose shall in the years unfold? The year saw Liberia redeemed against the encroachments and cupidity of England, redeemed by the United States upon the representation of colored men citizens here. What shall become of Liberia? The Republic was planted in Africa by agitation and political stupidity. That it shall live is our hope. That it will live is the boast of those who have acquainted themselves with conditions there. But, all things considered, it was an extraordinary diplomatic accomplishment for this country to assure the Republic in a new lease of life. Neither the President, Secretary Knox, the Liberian Commission, of which the brilliant Emmanuel Soto was a member, nor the lent men of power who aided the fort, can be too highly praised for reducing Liberia from the turbulent waters of national defeat. Upon this continent we have increased in the things that make men strong, and that give race vitality. In the accumulation of property, in the steady decline of illiteracy, in the conscientable appreciation and grasp of the responsible leaders in respect of both opportunities for advancement, the proper putting down of the foundation and an appreciable strengthening of social character—in all these things the fear was rich in its rewards. Let us also consider what the twelve-month brought us in the striking evidence of the comprehension of both pew and pulpit—pulpit following pew, at that—of practical Christianity labor, service, patience, perseverance, charity, and a walking in the open'. The available figures bearing upon our material progress as well as our advancement towards knowledge, the press has published from day to day, yet we direct especial attention to the marvelous strides of the people in awakened North Carolina, in progressive Virginia, in silent Mississippi, and in the new State of Oklahoma. The empty agitator and the grained-tongued vender of malice may argue, as is his habit and his heart, that we have become weak in our place as an important part of the government. They that are wise must see that this is not true. The bitter struggle that marks our march of victory but emphasize the wondrous achievements of the forty years campaign and the inspiring promise of the triumph's end! The malicious council rule of Baltimore, the evil practices of election inspectors in Oklahoma, and the bitter cries of the demagogues, still sleepless and unimpressed by tact or tancy, are overcome by a growing public opinion in behalf not only of justice to the blacks, but justice for all. The decision of the Federal courts of Maryland against the astounding proposal of the election commissioners of Annapolis to virtually annul the Fifteenth Amendment, the reusal of the constitutional convention of New Mexico to provide any subterfuge against the operation of the Constitution of the United States or to establish separate schools for races, the increasing respect of the courts for the rights of man in contradiction to the rights of property—these are permanent advancements, to be credited alike to those that are struggling up and those that are struggling to stay up. In respect of the political recognition of the Negro, his part in the affairs of the government, and the attitude of the Taft administration towards him, let us say that, excepting Mr. Taft's monumental blunder in excluding colored men in the South from consideration as officers of the government, an exclusion based upon advice from white members of the Republican party whose general ability is usually far below the ability of the Republican Negro leaders, and the false representation of members of the Democratic party, who have grown restive under a long absence from the personal benefit of the spoils of office, the Negro happily shares in political honors; those honors never before carried with them so much of responsibility. The records of Anderson, Tyler, Terrell, McKinley, Lewis and Rucker, lately a victim of the venom of the vicious and slanderous among his own are records rich alike for their race and their country. The colored man in high political office, carries himself with dignity and so moves in his official environs that naught of dishonor may touch his garments. Tire Ace, weighing events and precedents and surveying the teachings of history, holds that the Negro will catch step in freedom's army with the coming years, in proportion as he prograsse the significance of free institutions and becomes enlightened in the ways of knowledge. This is a happy reflection: not only is every Negro college filled with ambitions youth, but the colored race is giving the world a lofty example of self-help in the work of education and religion. Negro scholarship is beginning to receive the recognition long due it, and the leaders in education and morals are putting proper emphasis upon character as chief in the curriculum of universal training Two or three misfortunes have undertaken the financial and business life of the people, but over and against these we place the hundreds of astonishing achievements of our men in every department of commercial activity. The religious world has been interested in both the actions of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church at Cincinnati, when Suffragan Bishops were denied the colored members, the threatened secession of the colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the promised union of several of the colored Methodist churches, which will never come about as long as there are ambitious clerics to thwart the plans of good men, and the peaceful settlement of certain disputes that had aroused grave fears among the followers of the National Baptist Convention. The year 1910 will be memorable as the unhappy season in which the light-thinking and misguided white "friends" of the race, sided and abated by the little and unethical, unrestful and unrestful. since the early days of the church and planned and measured the scheme. Under the federal leadership of the real wonderful things have been accounted among men; let the future say what under that leadership, the central character of which has won the admiration of the world, shall be the record! The growth of the self-respect of the womanhood of the race, its expanding culture, its developing graces, is a contemplation sweet to a manhood only now in the huddling. Our numerical number is on the increase, notwithstanding the findings of statisticians who mistake fancy for fact and the fearless knights of prophecy that find the Negro's death rate always alarming. The census will show that there are 12,000,000 accounted colored people in continental United States. Not less than a quarter of a million have "crossed the line," never to return. So the year has brought us much of good, and little of evil. Let us forget the things that are behind, and press forward to the mark of whatever calling the unfolding wisdom of Providence may dictate as set aside for us in the grandest land whose fields a favoring sun has ever warmed: home of democracy, citadel of Christianity, nativity of freedom, the promise of a government of fraternity, liberty, love between all that came from creation's womb! Let the year, whose clock has but struck its initial hour, find us, above all, more than all, not a race of clowns and make-believes, but a race of men, God-fearing, persistent, time-inspired men! PRESIDENT TAFT AND EDUCATION. Few, if any, Presidents of the United States have shown the genuine and practical interest in the education of the Negro that President Taft has shown. He has seldom been called upon to deliver an address in any part of the country in the interest of Negro education that he has not gladly accepted the invitation. He has spoken all through the South and all through the North in behalf of Negro education. Aside from this, President Taft is a member of the Jeanes Fund Board, of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees, as well as the Board of Howard University. An unusual spectacle presented itself at the White House only a few weeks ago; that of the President of the United States leaving aside his many duties and responsibilities for a period of three hours and presiding at a meeting in the interest of Negro education—the Jeanes Fund Board of Trustees meeting, which took place in the White House'. Mr. Taft was not afraid or ashamed to let the world know that he is interested in the education of the Negro. His example in this respect does a world of good in shaming little people out of their littleness in regard to the education of our race. The race has cause to thank Mr. Taft with no unstinted gratitude for his practical interest in Negro education. THE LEWIS APPOINTMENT. Some days previous to the election a notice was sent out from the White House to the effect that within a reasonable time Honorable William H. Lewis would be appointed to the position of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. THE AG has no doubt that Mr. Taft means to keep his word in regard to this appointment. We say this notwithstanding the contradictory reports sent out from Washington. Mr. Taft is not a man to play politics in such a matter and we believe that those who have been expressing doubts as to his sincerity in the appointment of Mr. Lewis will find themselves greatly mistaken. For our part, we are going to trust the President. Three Japanese and Chinese whipped the American Consul at Dairen. The yellow men are early learning the arts of combination. With Japan, China and Mexico on one side, England and Japan bound by treaty, France indifferent and German an interested spectator, what would become of the United States in a war with Japan? The new English Parliament will have a large number of Jewish members, who stood, for the most part, for districts in which the Jewish element did not predominate THE PRE98. (From President Taft's speech before the National Press Club, December 31, 1910.) Those who come before, press men for the first time are in the habit of either praising the press and its influence and bowing before it or of taking that opportunity to indicate how it might be improved. I have had so much experience in this matter that I am going to take neither course, for I have failed in both. I believe press men are like all other men of intelligence and education in the community. There are leaders, there are men of conscience and men who are not greatly burdened with it in the profession. The profession is like all other professionals—like the profession of the law and the ministry and medical. You are proud of a great many of them. Some of them you are not proud of, but what I wish to emphasize is that those who are the characteristics that you use make of present men of interest from that which you make of all persons in which a great number of them are. To the Editor of The New York Age: I want to congratulate you on the Christmas Number of your paper and take this occasion to commend it. It many years I have been an inquisitive reader of The Age but with this issue I have been particularly struck. Your editorial on "Nineteen Centuries After" is a choice bit of English writing with the story of the Christmas full for the uplift of humanity and the hope of the world. The gifts of which the writer of this article is master writer of the world, the paper is a manifestation of what Negro brain impelled by Negro enterprise can accomplish. The wonderful achievements of your paper are a century create in us amusement as we create in superior opportunities may be their record in the year sto come. The world is before you; friends are an end. God is above you. Go on and prosper. A. C. KAUFMAN. Charleston, S. C. Dec. 28. [THE ACE can say nothing of the character and reputation of this distinguished citizen of South Carolina that all who read do not already know. Soldier, statesman, Christian gentleman, he has stood for justice and brotherly love between men since he has had a voice; nor have any circumstances hushed his plea for the oppressed or chilled his heart warm for all that are troubled or are struggling for higher and nobler things. We thank him in the name of our people, kind, lovable, patriotic folk, for what he says of their progress, and for the assurances he so charitably extends. What he so kindly says of our efforts shall move us to renewed efforts for the advancement not only of our kind, but of all men everywhere, and for the correct interpretation of the principles of the Great Teacher, which are, indeed, as Col Kaufman says, "the hope of the world"—Editor of THE ACE. THE NEGRO PRESS "JUST FROM GEORGIA." For Social Notes, If These Are Not the Real Thing, Farewell. (From the Georgia bapstak) Mr. Editor:—Please air me allow me to speak. I will be in the condition of affairs in this vicinity. However we are agry to say that Mrs. Willie Jones has been quite indisposed but glad to say she is better. I would like to state further that we were beautifully entertained at the home of Misses Emma, Annie, and Hattie Walton. I would like to come and see one of the best meat and vegetable cooks going, and Miss Emma equally as good baking cake and other deserts. The guest were Mr. Willie Peak, Mrs. Willie Walton, and the writer. Everything was nicely served. Menu: Vegetable soup, green cabbage and bacon, rice, cream potatoes, sweet potato, and brown gravy, macaroni pie, Salille Inn, rolls, beaten biscuit, Metropolitan cake, gelatine with sauce, after dinner coffee, cocoa and whipped Biga Notes Mr. Glenn Favors has bought a new dress. He is a fan of Favors girls, he is all around HG. Ge Mr. A. F. Favors has built himself a new chimney. Mira Lee has moved to stay with her grandson. She are going to buy a new stove for the church at Shady Grove. We hope to have a fine Christmas. 8it Down on 'Em That a large number of our people do not read any newspaper is a fact much to be regretted because of the information that is lost to them. And that a vast majority do not read any Negro newspaper is still more regrettable because of the lack of race pride and race cooperation that it establishes. But, of course, newspapers published by either or both races are not less astonishing to see or know few read anything outside of the court proceedings in the white, or the local and society notes in all of them. In many instances the absence of a preponderance of local land society items affords an opportunity for disquiet and, in some cases, the paper as having "nothing in it" makes many times the Negro paper receives its deserving setback because it has not supplied enough of that class of news. Writing of Negroes and newspapers naturally puts us to thinking of the support of Negro papers receive from the people in general and also from our business and professional men. We have already referred to the lan-table fact that the stage negro journals, but a still more lamentable fact that those who subscribe for them will not pay for what they receive. That is true of the general mass of people. Now, as to our professional and business friends. It is our experience and we suppose it is the same with other publishers, that alarge majority of the professions and those doing mercantile work also advertise in the advertising columns on our race papers where they are doing business nor will they subscribe for the paper; and yet these very Negro business and professional men will use the local columns of the paper that is not worthy of their financial support to advertise their services and so forth if they be preachers; to hall their success in treatment; to hall their success in doctors; their ability and reliability if they be lawyers; and the quality of their products of their stock; and their willingness to serve the public if they are in any business as all. If someone to say that is will be the part of business and life they do, our people and work with clients to give people good and personal support to their needs. Negro-Jewish theatre will work for their interest, and limit a brief to them—Charlotte (N.C.) Artistine. NOTES ABOUT TOWN Hipped in on the "College Girl" at the Columbia Theatre. Cracking show, best burlesque that has come this way since Fannie Brite Bite through last year. What a "twist on"! All the song, is as popular as it was last year, and "Some of These Days," Shelton Brook's song, is a scream. The Street is well represented in the song-world these days. Col Theodore Rosevelt will be the orator at the annual memorial to Grant at his tomb in May. Harry T. Burleigh, the soloist and composer, was a soloist at Carnegie hall last Thursday, when Damrosch and the orchestra gave the annual exhibition of "Bethlehem," the man Burleigh was one of the few participants that got a real ovation. Mrs. Burleigh is soon to make her appearance an act in her own dialect poems, and they are closely compared, will be her chief subjects. The rebellious Knights of Pythia those who have so long kept the order in darkness, want to get out an injunction against the regulars under Le Yarr. It is said that their lawyer wants $250. It will never do to "bore row" from the reserve fund. Where then, is the money coming from." One Captain less in the Street since Ed Conick "went away." POPE BLESSES WORK Of Father Burke Among Colored Poor Villification's Most Important Work Because of an extraordinary interac- t manifested by Pope Plus X in the Catholic Board for Mission Work in the United States, the Rev J. E. Burke is dire general, the members decided to ask Catholics and all devoted to the spiritual and intellectual spirit of the Negro in the Church, to year to raise earlier than the usual time the fifty thousand-dollar contribution to the work, which Father Burke is formed to need every year to execute the work successfully Father Burke upon his assumption of the duties of director-general, pledged himself to the work of an infinite period, the ultimate end in view being the erection of a general college and industrial school in parts of the South not embraced in other areas. Plus X has assured the board of directors, which is composed of Cardinal Gibbona, Archbishop Farley, Archbishop Byrne, and Bishop Byrne, Allen and Kelley, that there is no greater missionary work being conducted under the auspices of the church than this among the clergy. That is no anxious that the colored people be brought into the church that he has urged the board to encourage the best of the young men to enter the church. That is why the holy orders when they are deemed amply equipped to go among their own people with the gospel. The letter in which this advice was given by the archbishop Byrne, treasurer of the board. "His Holiness most earnestly wishes," the communication reads, "that this work of the apostolate to the church be made more encouraging encouraged and applauded beyond any other undertaking of Christian civilization, may find numerous and generous supporters, to all of us." This day his apostolic benediction. The headquarters of the board are in the tower of the Metropolitan Cathedral, which is organized three leagues as auxiliaries to the work—one for priests, another for laymen and women, and a third members of religious communities. MORE SCHOOLS NEEDED (Continued from Page 1) One other element in the situation that drives Negroes from the farms of the Black Belt *counties* is this: In many of the 'Black Belt' *counties* when a Negro is charged with a crime a mob of wild, excited and often intoxicated people scour through the country in search of Negroes who happen, as former Governor Jelks trankly stated, that the wrong Negro is caught and often lynched. There have been happenings of this kind in the country districts which have made many of the best colored people feel that the safest thing for them is to move to the police protection in case they are charged with crime. The experience of the civilized world shows that even where the utmost care and deliberation is exercised on the part of lawyers, judges and jury innocent persons are sometimes punished. In the face of this experience, it is impossible for a wild, excited and often intoxicated person to pass judgment upon the guilt or innocence of an individual. In my opinion of the Negroes understand that their public schools in the country districts are gradually going to do so and that they will receive police protection in the case they are charged with crime in the country districts as they do in the city, then the best colored farmers will cease to work from the country districts out of the city. Macon County Schools In Macon County there are good school hours, to be remembered, good teachers. This is true. I think I am safe on saving, for both races. Ask my white man in Macon County and he will tell you I think, that since I am black, I has a more ordinal and now abiding Negro population that labor is much easier to secure, and that the colored people work better than they before. In addition to this, Negro pupils schools in Macon County have teachers who teach about the things by which children learn, and trust to teaching the children with books and about the Bible, they teach them how to farm, how to grow vegetables how to raise poultry, pigs, fruits, etc. they also teach the girls something of cooking, table service and sewing. The result is, the whole community through the school is taught to love country life and to respect labor. The State of Alabama is going to spend money on the education of the Negro child, I believe it will be better to see that this money is looked after "Another reason why I think Macon County is in such good condition because the Negroes have good enough so outline that they have no desire to work in a responsible does not rest with white people. There are few Negro in Macon County who do not co-operate with the officers of the law in order to get rid of lawbreakers. There are Negro in Macon County who refuse to assist the sheriff in fences; they are not in good standing; a court of justice. And the Macon County also co-operate with the school officials in buildings and instantiating good public schools. No Racism Problem." We have no race problem in Macon County. We have no race friction. In taking with the sheriff of Macon County that he told me that there is no little crime in Macon County that he is in carefully and enough to keep him "As I have gone into Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta and other large cities, I have met and colored people who once lived in rural communities and have worked why they divorced. I the ten have and in many ten they have told me that there were no public schools in the communities where they formerly lived, believe that the 'Black Belt' councils will continue to lose its population unless we give it time to building up good public schools rural districts. It is just as easy to have a Negro population that is happy contented and prosperous as to have that is restless and dissatisfied because such matters. I believe in this respect that we can cooperate and in this way add the happiness and prosperity of both." POLITICAL NOTES Dr William Demos Crum is proving to be one of the most popular ministers at the United States eve. sent to Liberia. The retirement of "Ed" Howe from the Atchison (Kan.) Globe removed from the Kansas political field a striking character. Cecil Lyon, the lily-white Republican leader of Texas, got his start in politics at the hands, and likewise the feet of Norris Wright Cuney, the greatest political leader the South ever had. When the term of the present collector of the port of Memphis, Tennessee expires his friends propose to put forward Robert R. Church, Jr., for the post. Mr. Church was a candidate when the office was last vacant, and he had the endorsement of the governor of Tennessee, both senators, Luke E. Wright, and all other celebrities, and of course, the colored people to a man. The Negro Republicans of Westchester County, led by Davis, Boyd, Page Harper, Bruce and others, always give a good account of themselves in election results. Why do not they prosper? Because there are trouble-making men in the county, and because, also, there are not enough Henry Clarkes among the white leaders. The most popular municipal judge in the city of Washington is a colored man, Judge Robert H. Terrell, who presides over the financial district of the city. When a few ill-advised colored men opposed Judge Terrell's reappointment, the bankers, lawyers and real estate operators became really indignant and almost demanded Judge Terrell's retention. The common people are very fond of the judge. He is called the poor man's lawyer, and the rich man's judge. Governor White, who turned over the reins of government to Governor Dix Monday is one of the squares as well as one of the ablest men that ever sat in the guernatorial chair. If he had not got mixed up in some insurance unpleasantness, and it has never been proved that he was at any time other than honorable, he would be governor of the State of New York to-day. Colored Syracuse almost worship Horse White. Following each new census Congress makes a reportment of the representation in that body. In 1700, when Congress first had the power to fix the basis of representation, there were 106 members of the House of Representatives. Now there are 191 Under the two reportment the ratio was one congressman for each 193,167 population. The present Congress may fix the basis of representation and the State legislatures will then redistrict the respective States. It may be that Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine States that show in increase of less than 10 per cent in population, will lose one or more members each. Kinsas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana show an increase of between 10 and 20 per cent. States showing an increase of between 30 and 60 per cent are Florida, New Jersey, Colorado, Utah and South Dakota. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, North Dakota, Montana and Washington show an increase of 60 per cent. Ignorance and Superstition the Factors Which Lead to Fear. True Message of God's Word, the Only Proper Antidote to Fear, Desirable at Opening of New Year. Brooklyn, N. T. January 1.—Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacle addressed a large congregation in the Brooklyn Academy of Music this afternoon on the importance of good courage for the New Year, from the following text Brooklyn, N. Y. January 1—Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacle address ed a large congregation in the Brooklyn Academy of Music this after noon on the importance of good courage for the New Year, from the following text "Fear not for I have redeemed thee mine"—Isaiah xiii, 1 As usual he had a large audience and the very closest attention. He said in part— Fear is a great calamity. It is closely related to all the sorrows of life, closely linked to all the crimes of the world' One of the blessings of true Christianity is the release it gives from fear But also' true Christianity, true Christian faith, and the present rewards of these are not very common even in Christendom. Few know the meaning of the Master's words, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Few appreciate the assurance, "If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (Matthew xi, 28; John vll, 36). Fear has its foundation in sin. We may be sure that the angels in heaven know no fear. After Adam had disobeyed the Divine command in Eden, he feared his Maker and hid from him. Similarly, fear affects all of Adam's posterity, because of the general realization that "all are sinners." God and his righteousness are, figuratively, light, and the sinner and his sins are, figuratively, darkness. There is no compromise—the darkness hateth (opposite) the light, the light scattereth the darkness. Love and reverence go hand in hand, but love and fear are opposites; we cannot love that which we fear, we do not fear that which we love. Fear. Worry. Slokness. Hope, pride and ambition encourage the business man and the laborer, the king and the peasant, the housewife and the maid, the leaders of the social set and the patient mother. Nevertheless, all of these have a drag-anchor of fear, which in the stress of life produces worry; worry produces indigestion, indigestion produces insomnia and nervousness which lead on to every form of disease and unhappy. To the extent, therefore, that fear is removed, health and happiness are encouraged and added. The fact that fear is closely related to disease Hence the wise physician always counsels cheerful surroundings for the sick cheerful conversation, diversion of the mind, the avoidance of thought along worthless lines—the rest cure, etc. It may be asked, Why is it that the Master's cure is little considered today? Why are so few pointed to Christ, the Great Physician, for the rest and peace and comfort and joy which he promised to his followers eighteen centuries ago? Have his words proven untrue? Are his professed followers amongst the most anxious and troubled and overcharged and sick and sorrowing and fearful of our poor, groaning creation? If so, what is the explanation? We must concede the inference. We must admit that the four hundred millions of professed Christians are much more unhappy, much more fearful, much more harrows, peevish and sickly than the twelve hundred millions outside of Christendom The explanation of this peculiar alteration is that Christendom is not Christianity, that the name Christendom is a misnomer! Christ's Kingdom does not prevail amongst the civilized coast-fourth of humanity. For cent now Christendom has deceased itssim, and has seriously misprespeached Christ, his teachings and his prom the Kingdom of righteousness for wiid still we are praying, "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth." Our standing armies, prepared to destroy each other and our Dreadnaught navies, prepared to blow each other's atoms and our submarines and outlying machines our great cannons and torpedoes, all praise the mistake of calling human civilization Christ's kingdom. Similarly, the worry, fear, strife person in a court of Christendom prove that the Great Teacher's note for fear and worry has not been taken by the masses of Christendom. We hold that the Good Phrenon remedy for an curbing care worry fear is just as effective the today as it was eight centuries ago and a half centuries ago we hold that the real difficulty is that his prescription has not been faithfully followed. We urge that those who now have "an ear to hear his message should accept it faithfully and that they should not accept at the hands of anybody another prescription, said to be "just as good." We should make sure that we get the remedy which bears the endorsement of the Lord's Word, and which has the seal of "the precious blood." The Master's Teachings Perverted. During the Dark Ages superstitious fear has encountered, all will concede. the Reformation Movement by leading zealous people to resource Purgatory as unscriptural and to accept in-its stead for the world at large eternal torment—a still more unscriptural proposition—a still more God-dishonoring doctrine of demons. Fortunately for ourselves we Protestants do not fake our own doctrine seriously. However much all Protestant Creeds assert that only baptized saints will reach heaven and, contrariwise, that all the unsaintly will suffer eternal torture, nevertheless, not one in a hundred believes this. The most saintly, the most conscientious of them are troubled by their fears, tormented by their sympathies, perplexed to understand God's dealings, hindered from having the peace and joy which the Master promised his followers. The less conscientious of them具 conscience to their own injury, gradually losing faith in the Word of God because of this error. They thus escape some of the torments of fear, but they do not attain the love, joy, contentment and peace which the Master promised his faithful ones. Unreliable Subterfuges Harmful. There is only the one Divine remedy for this harmful fear. That remedy is associated with the Gospel of Christ; but there are numerous subterfuges. Some drown their fears, disappointments and sorrows with alcohol or various narcotics. Some seek to drown them with sensuous pleasures, some with business activity, some with church activity, some with "dovil-may-care" unreason. Of late a considerable degree of subterfuge success has come along the lines of decalc-denying the existence of sin, denying the facts of pain and sorrow and death and, contrariwise, affirming that everything is good, regardless of the untruthfulness of this proposition. The result of this self-deception indeed relieves from a considerable measure of fear. To this extent it proves a solace and satisfaction; but it is a subterfuge and not the true remedy. As a proposition its influence upon the mind, upon all the reasoning faculties, is injurious. The twisting of reason necessary to this philosophy, which calls black white, and pain pleasure, and sin righteousness, is destructive of sound reasoning ability. The habit of perversion necessary to the calling of bad good and wrong right not only injures the mind, but, in attempting to sustain itself from the Scriptures, perverts the entire Word of God. With reason perverted and the Scriptures perverted, the true message of the Scriptures cannot be enjoyed. Unless fear be measurably eliminated, the proper faith, hope, joy and spirit of a sound mind are impossible. Divine Antidote For Fear. God's message through the Law and the Prophets, to Israel, as interpreted by Jesus and his Apothetes, gives us the true antidote for fear. It does not deny sin, sickness, sorrow, death; it denies no fact, but it does hold out a remedy for all of these, an antidote, "the balm of Gilead." Moreover, it informs us that this antidote can be received only through the co-operation of our heads and hearts. It informs us that this healing is obtainable by only a comparatively few at this time but, eventually, the Divine blessings world-wide, shall operate toward all humanity as fully as have the penalties of sin. It applies now (in full degree) only to such as have the hearing ear, the faith, the will, the response heart. Others may obtain a measure only of this consolation. The Great Teacher gave us the key to this deliverance from fear, saying, "We shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free. If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (John viii, 32, 38). The first step toward having the Truth make us free is to have the coat when supper was served; the part dispersed at the wee hours of 11 morning at the morning supper was Augusta Brown, the Missa Jesse and Ada Stewart, Mabel Thompson, Messas Lester A Walton George W. Harris, Edward S. Paytor, William P. Malea upon him, William P. Malea break their bonds and get free as a difficult task. Only those who hunger and thirst after the Lord and his rightousness are in any likelihood of ever being properly freed. Others getting free from one error are merely stored by the Adversary into another as bad or worse. God seeketh not these at the present time; he will deal with them by and by under Messiah's glorious Kingdom, when Satan shall be bound. Now, as the Apostle declares, "God seeketh such to worship him as worship him in spirit and in truth. "The secret of the Lord is with them that reverence him and with them that life Osman will not set them free now from the bondage of superstition and fear, and by and by, in the "First Resurrection," he will free them from the body of corruption. In other words, at the present time all humanity may receive a blessing of heart consolation in proportion as they can come to the knowledge of Divine Truth; and each will be helped to the knowledge of the Truth in proportion to his hunger and thirst after righteousness—his honesty of soul. The disheastern-hearted are not worthy of being set free from fear. Liberty and freedom from fear for these would. Overseasness that in most of this century will not be abolished. 10. The Gospel of John, chapter 10, verses 11-13, and verses 14-15, with the exception of verse 16, and 17, in the other Gospel. "Knees of the wicked shall understand" (John 22, 10). *Mystery of the Gospel Age.* To attain the highest blessing which God has to offer at the present time certain difficult requirements must be complied with. Sig must be repented of heartily, and, so far as possible, restitution must be made, which means that sig must be forsaken to the extent of ability. Faith must then recognise the "Lamb of God" which taken away the "sin of the God"—that the sacrifice for sins was necessary, and that God himself provided it in the death of Jesus. Faith and knowledge must go further and not only see and acknowledge the death of the Redeemer, but also that God raised him from the dead and highly exalted him to spirit being again, to the intent that eventually he may accomplish for all mankind, the wonderful blessings foretold in the Law and the Promhets. Additionally, to such will be revealed the great "Mystery" of this Gospel Age, lasting from the death of Jesus to the manifestation of Messiah in power and great glory as Michael—the "God-like One" (Daniel xi, 1). The Mystery that is Jesus is the Head. Chief, Lord, over the Church which is his Body, and that the "Body" members will eventually be glorified with the Head on the spirit plane; and that then Head and Body will constitute the great Messiah whose spiritual reign of a thousand years will result in the blessing and uplifting of mankind. Whoever shall be thus taught of God in the school of Christ will learn also the necessity for having a share with the Master in his suffering and death, in order to have a share with him in his glorious reign. These will be taught by the great Head that "if they suffer with him they shall reign with him" and that the sufferings of this present time (if faithfully endured by them) will work out an exceeding and abundant blessing. The Sentiment of Our Text The Sentiment of Our Text. To properly understand our text and, indeed, to understand the Bible as a whole, it is necessary to discern that God has foreordained two Israelis—the earthly and the heavenly. Both are precious, both are "select," both are to be used of the Lord during Messiah's time on the earthly plane and the other on the earthly. A mistake has been made by some in recognizing the earthly Israel and not recognizing the heavenly or spiritual Israel. Others have made the mistake of recognizing the heavenly or spiritual Israel and not recognizing the earthly Israel. "The promise of God is to be sure to both the seeds of Abraham—to that which is according to the promise, the earth—the Spiritual God—and also to that which is according to the Law, this natural need (Romans iv. 16). The Spiritual Seed must be developed first, because the blessing will proceed from the Heavenly Seed to the earthly seed, then from the earthly seed to all nations. The blessing upon all nations will consist of the opportunity that will be offered them of becoming members of the earthly-seed which, ultimately, as the sands of the seashore, will include the saved of all nations—all found worthy of everlasting life. "I have constituted the father of many nations" (Röm. tv. 17). "Princess In All the Earth." "Princess In All the Earth." All who will come into this blessed experience of relationship to God are described in our text. "Fear not! for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine." The faithful few of this Gospel Age, who have passed through the deep waters of tribulation and walked through fiery trials, have not only come off uninjured, but have been blessed, yea and will be abundantly blessed in the rewards of the coming Kingdom. They have naught to fear. Similarly, Natural Israel as a people was specially favored from the days of Abraham down to the rejection of Messiah—particularly the saintly few of that people whose sure reward will be their privilege of being made Princes in all the earth by the great King of glory (Psalm xiv, 16). Even during the Gospel Age when the nation of Israel, "Jacob," has been obliged to pass through trying experiences, "waters of affliction" and "dry trials," the Lord has not forsaken them. He has kept them together as a people. He has not permitted them to be destroyed by their enemies. Their persistence for thirty-five centuries is of itself—a miracle of Divine supervision. Without afflictions they would have disappeared as a distinct people. As the Gospel Age (for the selection of Spiritual Israel) draws to a close, the voice of God is calling natural Israel and pointing them to the Land of Promise and reviving their hearts with the messages of their prophets. All are to share God's blessings eventually, and then all may be without fear. Now is the time for those who know their God, to fear not. Now, those whose eyes of faith and understanding can discern God's stately stoppings amongst the children of men in the directing of the Divine Program may fearlessly rejoice. Now is the time for these to be of good courage to fear not to overcome the world! to be valiant for righteousness and truth! Their blessings of the Lord will be in proportion to their faithfulness and courage. There is no other route to the true rest and peace to which Jesus invites. And there never can be a better time than now to accept the Lord's offer: "Osee unto me!"

Miss Carrie Brown, who was appointed principal of the Street School, is doing most excellent work. According to a Cleveland paper the Rev. E. Thomas Demby is being talked of as the rector of St. Andrew's Church. The success that the father is having in this city will not warrant such a change.

JOHNSON apr 28.8m Prospectus ADVERTISE IN THE AGE MUSIC AND THE STAGE A UNIQUE SITUATION THERE are but few cases on record of New York theatre-goers having become afflicted with an acute attack of modesty, it being their proud boast that they are usually afforded an opportunity to see the best plays long before the theatre-goers of other cities. As a rule the Gotham devotee of the dramatic art finds unconcealed delight in writing to friends hundreds of miles away and making mention, in a spirit of ghoulish glee, of the plays on the boards in the metropolis-plays which probably will not be presented in other cities for months to come. This season developed a unique situation, one which has provided the colored play-goers of other towns a long looked-for chance to give their New York friends the merry ha ha. And the Follies of 1910, of which Bert Williams is the stellar attraction, has been responsible for this turn of affairs. It was about six months ago, I believe, when the hollowes of 1910 budded and bloomed on the roof of the New York Theatre, becoming a summer product along with the flowers of June, the hobble skirt and the rising mercury. Although the show did not bid farewell to Broadway until last September, the audience and investment in seeing Hert Williams on the stage were not given an occasion to laugh at the antics of their favorite colored comedian until December The Recent Engagement at the Grand Opera House. When the Follies of 1910 played a week's engagement at the Grand Opera House three weeks ago it made its first appearance in Greater New York after having visited many of the leading cities of the United States. In every town in which the company has played the colored play-goers have flocked to see the colored comedian, many of whom would write to their New York friends and give some valuable 'inside information' relative to the production—information which has been received in apparently good grace. New Yorkers who are able to look backward over a large space of time state that they cannot recall a similar situation as has been created by the New Yorkers who are able to look backward in the past when the dark-skinned inhabitants of this city have been compelled to occupy seats none too near the stage, they were given an opportunity to see the production in question nevertheless. Why They Discriminated on Jardin de Paris. It was the policy of the managers of the New York Roof, which place of amusement was also known as the Jardin de Paris, to cater to the colored theatre-goer until summer before last, when several colored men are said to have provoked the management as well as some of the white patrons by showing a disposition to firt with several fair damsels with whom they has passing acquaintance and, in a method nowadays employed by the majority of whites when they meet to race discrimination, never making an endeavor to generate the sheep from the goats), the management resolved to close its doors against the colored theatre-goer. One of the chief questions discussed before Bert Williams and F. Ziegfeld, Jr., came to terms last spring was the probability of the colored citizens making trouble if an attempt was made to exclude them from the roof. When several members of the race applied for tickets during the first two weeks of the show and were informed that all seats had been sold, the word went out that colored patronage was not desired, and few sought admission during the balance of the company's stay in New York, where Groumutances Alter Cases. That circumstances alter cases is a saying that can be aptly applied to the respective engagements of the Follies of 1910 at the Jardin de Paris and the Grand Opera House, New York City. At the Jardin de Paris the colored brother was not wanted, while it is said that Manager Ziegfeld depended to a large degree on the patronage of the ghony-hued citizens to make the engagement of the Follies of 1910 at the Grand Opera House a success during what is considered the worst week in the show business—the week before Christmas. And he figured correctly, for they assembled in large numbers throughout the week to see and hear Bert Williams, whom many had not seen since his appearance in "Mr. Lode of Koal." No review was given in these columns of the work of Bert Williams at the time the Follies of 1910 first became a tenant on the New York Roof, believing that comment would only tend to make matters more complex. At this writing very little can be said of the production that has not been already said. That Bert Williams is the point hit as well as the point of art of the show has appeared in print often this season, but a true estimate of this talented comedian's efforts can be produced and reproduced without giving offense. Mr. Ziegfeld Should Make Another Ex- Florence Ziegfeld, Jr., like a large number of other white showmen in New York, has inconvenienced the colored play-goers of this city, not because of any feeling of race antipathy he possesses for the colored citizen, but because he has pursued a policy purely commercial in all respects and void of an iota of sentiment. His experiment of exploiting a colored comedian at the head of a big white show was indeed a bold piece of pioneering which has proved highly successful, due in the shade to the attitude assumed by this LESTER A. WALTON. Mr Ziegfeld should now be more favorably impressed with the colored clientele and when he produces the Follies of 1013 in which Bert Williams will be one of the leading attractions, he should show a more magnanimous and charitable disposition toward the colored residents by giving them an opportunity to see the production so that they can maintain their erstwhile enviable position among the residents of other cities. This season has been rather humiliating to them, and they do not care to have history repeat itself. We do not expect to pack and jam the Jardin de Paris, but a discriminating ticket seller can dispose of a few seats nightly to us without creating a sensation.

Advices from London state that all has not gone well abroad with the Chocolate Drops, the act owned by George L. Archer, of which King and Bailey have been principals for a couple of years. According to the latest report from across the water, the act has disbanded and King and Bailey are appearing alone in a skirt over the Marmoll Stoll Circuit. Whon the act left New York some months ago with George L. Archer in charge and Joe Jordan as musical director, it was understood that the Chocolate Drops were to play at least six months over the Marinelli time. The first engagement was at the Hanser Theatre, Hamburg, where the act remained for a month. The next engagement was to have been in Berlin, but the management of the theatre and Manager Archer were unable to come to terms on the question of money. Archer asserting that an effort was being made to give the act less money than what the contract called for, and refusing to permit the Chocolate Drops to appear Contracts were cancelled to play in Berlin as well as in Vienna. It is said that the managers of the two theatres were threatened with being made defendants in damage suits, but the Marinella people finally patched up matters by making a settlement. The rest of the Marinella time was cancelled, however. Upon leaving Germany, the Chocolate Drops went to London, and after some dickering they were booked to play at the High Holborn Music Hall. The act did not seem to please the Londoners, although the work of King and Bailey was not reported time to time that the young comedians, who have been billed all along as the feature of the act, took exception because the girls were put in as large type as themselves. As offers to book the act were not coming in quick enough to suit King and Bailey, they were not offered the Moss and Stoll time to appear alone. They made their first appearance minus the girls, but still under the management of George L. Archer, in Manchester, and were cordially received, and will play over the entire Moss and "Stoll Circuit. They bill themselves as "King and Bailey, the Chocolate Comedians." Joe Jordan, who went abroad as the musical director of the Chocolate Drops, now appears vaudeville with Goose Gang, formerly Carlisle and Baker, and is said to be doing well. A DAN MICHAELS in Vaudeville MURPHY AND FRANCIS SCORE Murphy and Francis, a big time act playing over the Morris Circuit, was the principal attraction at the Crescent Theatre the first three days of this week. They are to be congratulated on the lively skit they present, as well as complimented for playing the Crescent Theatre. When an old standard act as Murphy and Francis is no; opposed to playing the Crescent Theatre, it is about time that some of the other colored acts playing more evidence of possessing more good business judgment and not pride. Perhaps it is not known to many theatergoers, but - quite a number of small colored acts have refused to play the Crescent Theatre because the audience is colored. Can you imagine a colored act drawing the color line? Bert Murphy has been in the business for a number of years, but he is yet an eccentric dancer of no little ability. He has a talented partner in the person of Miss Francis, who has a pleasing way in putting over her lines. The Wilton Sisters, in a class musical act, and Karle Cook in songs and imitations, assisted in making an unusually strong bill. Murphy and Francis have been held toer for the entire week, and will present a new sketch, the latter half entitled "Coming from the Ball." The City Sisters. This will also be on the bill. I've often wondered why it was some fallen more easily that in among the lady falls I won't see any they are not so start I won't see any they are not so start As some of the clown girls, or that they're chasing or commotion, that always first to buy. II. Perhaps in climbs the queens That come the highest way, And some the most chung to their boots, That show up up by day. With some the horses turned down, Doesn't justify that lady falls When he's announced to flew. III. Come if that's all, I my right here, That she's not so called beaux At some the other so called beaux That live from hand to mouth They sellen have enough to spare Change—I mean, if time was change— They'd be tickered in the land. IV. But at that still some's got the change With clothes and diamonds, see, That they all they want Them many traits are few. The pretty boy, the clothes, the jewels, Cause lady falls to fall, That some real man If he by chance should call It's just a choice few—that sort, That's in the social set, It is not brains, naddles and hah! It's not brains, They never think about their past, Success means not to him, He's got the pick of body folk, Future can go to swain. VII. Just let a manly appear, One who dares to think "Boat life, success, things worth争, From hardships wouldn't stink; And he'd work, Nor of his past afraid, Who does not bear about the bush, But calls a spade a spade. VII. One not afraid to meet that Judge Who dares to think The One who'll judge not one—but all— When with this life we'd done And then we'll know and then perhaps The difference that lies between The clothes, the Jewels, the man. VIII. Not like that dressed up social wolf The ladies call a man, The men call and crush the poor Upon the lowly stand. Just like a vampire not ashamed To boast of conquest made, To wield these wolves Of daylight are afraid But life is lived to suit one's self. Yet hard to understand. Why that in pants—that social wolf—is taken for a man. It's tough on one who'd beard the lion. And dare be on the level. Yet lady folks prefer those shrimps—Now, don't it beat the devil? IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A WALTON ALL STARS, 19; HOWARD, 16. MANHATTAN Casmo was the scene of a hotly contested basketball match last Friday between two of the strongest (if not the strongest) colored quints in County. The teams antics in the All State of New York and Howard University of Washington, formerly the Y. M. C. A. team of the capital city. The New Yorkers won by the score of 19 to 16. The game was marked by fast team work on both sides and was full of interest throughout. As the quints were fighting for championship honors the players displayed unusual activity and MISS UNIVERSITY BRADFORD Crack Center of the AB-States were often penalized for fooling. In almost every instance the All Stars profited by the fouls committed by the visitors, as Bradford, the crack center of the locals, would, in the majority instances, make a basket. He was easily the star of the game. On the other hand, Gilmoe of Howard, was not so fortunate. Oliver, Howard's star guard, played a decidedly aggressive game and was largely responsible for the points made by the Washington tans. In the first half the All Stars played a far superior game to Howard, and the score stood at 10 to 8 in favor of the keyed up of the power. Howard started off matters with a rush in the second half and made several baskets in quick order, ticing the score. At this juncture the only disagreeable features of the match occurred, due to the inclination of Referee Sam Melitzer of Columbia, to give the onlookers an exhibition of fictitious instead of basketball player, but he has much to learn before he can qualify as a referee. It is said that one of the Howard players, during an argument, called him a short, mean name. He resented the compliment by striking the player. A referee in a game should be the last one to lose his mental balance, and Mr. Melitzer should have smothered his "righteous indignation" until after the match, at least. When play was finally resumed the teams had only a short time in which to finish the match, the game resulting in the All Star's favor. The All Stars will go to Washington February 21 and play Howard a return game. Before the All Star-Howard match the Jersey City Regulars and the St. Cyprian met, the Jersey City team winning. The accrete: Jersey City, 30; St. Cyprian, 8. The All Stars are making arrangements to play the crick game of the Tenth Cavalry on February 18.

AGENTS WANTED. Advertise in the Age the part in the South from conditions and policies which have needed to retard its growth and worked to its detriment and that this committee subpoenaed the rulers of the police and will carry name in good faith in the matter of recommendations for appointments. 3. That we call upon the rank and file of the Republican party in the State, nine-tenths of which was represented by 800 members, the last Greenboro state convention, who registered the voice of the party as to the old referee plan, to accept the will of the President in this matter, and also to support the administration in its policy of dealing this question of dispensing the fed-stratronage in the Southern States. 3. That with the generally accepted belief and knowledge of Republican sympathizers throughout the State that nearly every precinct furnished independent voters whereby Republican recruits were gained in the November election, which means that there are more Republican candidates State to state, ever before, the de-dam policy should be permanently established until every legal voters of the State who believes in the National policies of the Republican party is enrolled in its ranks. 4. That we depreciate and condemn the usual and characteristic campaign methods of the Democratic press and politicians as exerting a pressure whereby they seek to influence the people through appeal to passion and prejudice based upon unfounded and unjustifiable personal attacks and slanders of opposing candidates and individuals, that the ignoring of the issues involved in the result upon personal abuse and calumny is unworthy of honorable partisanship and are deserving of rebuke at the hands of intelligent and thinking men and most emphatically do we condemn the illegal and fraudulent practices of the Republican field. Republican voters are deprived of their franchise. 5. We specially invite the attention of the people of the South to the fact that President Taft more chief policies of his administration than any exec in the last half of the South, and we deplore the fact that Democratic politicians of the South have wilfully and persistently perverted his true motives and have thus far failed to meet him in the spirit of his writings. 6. We hereby address the administration and policies of President William H. Taft in a national President, and we please ourselves to labor for his reelection and reelection. Many white Republicans in North Carolina are strongly opposed to the need to invariable reelection by the July Whites" in November. There is some talk of the Negro Republicans and conservative white Republicans cooperating with a new group controlling the GO in the State. PROGRESS OF TRAINING SCHOOL Institution in Charleston in Splendid Condition—New Apparatus Recently Installed—Nurses and Inmates Spend Pleasant Christmas. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Charleston, S. C. Jas.—The patients and nurses of the Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses had a most enjoyable Christmas, largely due to friends who sent turkeys, fruits and edibles of every description. On Monday night the nurses had a Christmas tree, and with some of their friends spent an enjoyable evening. Last week a mounted, articulated skelpee was received from the United States Army Medical Museum, at Washington, D. C. This much needed and important loan (which is practically a gift) was secured through Dr. D. S. Lamb, who has charge of the preparation of anatomical specimens in the Museum, and is also the professor of anatomy in the medical department of Howard University, of which Dr. A. C. McCleman is a graduate. The hospital has also recently installed a partial equipment for the application of electric modalities in therapeutic cases amenable to electrical therapeutics. The pieces of apparatus consist of a very superior high tension faradic coil and a high frequency apparatus. From this latter piece seven different modalities can be furnished, namely, the sinusoidal, cautery, diagnostic light, thermal curettage, frequency curettage, DARotone, K-Ray. A good galvanic battery will now complete the electrical equipment. The operation o the instruments will be in charge of the Rev H. A. Parrs, who is a diploma in mechanotherapy, and has made a special study of the application of electricity in diseases. Father Parrs is also delivering a course of lectures (with demonstrations) on mechanotherapy and the practical application of electricity in diseases of the nervous system. The public are invited to hear these lectures every Friday at 4 p.m. giving treatment (free of charge to the poor who may be suffering from partial paralysis and other ailments in which these methods are available. On the whole, the institution is in a splendid condition, and the touch of the cloth outside added to a coat of wash on the outside, gives a pleasing effect to the eye.
