DEATHBLOW TO PEONAGE SYSTEM Unlawful and Nefarious Practice Now at an End in the United States United States Supreme Court Rules That the Law is an Instrument of Compulsion Has Represented by Whites—Southern Judges of Supreme Court Rendered Decision, None Dissentent. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 17.—Peonage in Alabama is dead! Porished also are all the shadowy excuses and subterfuges that so long gave it nourishment. A stalwart grant twenty-five years of age it has been put to sleep by the staff right arm of Uncle Sam, who through his corps of new justices, none dissenting, declared the labor contract law of this state "An instrument of compulsion peculiarly effective as against the poor and ignorant, the most likely victims." The story of the case is the record of a Negro soaking justice. Only there is this extraordinary difference Southern white men were fighting his case. On July 25, 1908, Alonzo Bailey, a Negro, was indicted for breach of contract with the Riverside Company, a farm owning concern. Prior to this, upon the strength of his contract to labor, he had borrowed from the company the sum of $15. He was to pay at the price of $12 per month. Before repaying by labor and without refunding in cash, Bailey left the company. He was, therefore, indicted, having committed a crime against the state, the latter being very explicit with reference to this kind of offense. About the Labor Contract Law. Beginning in 1885, the Labor Contract Law of Alabama had undergone several courses of refining, until, when it reached Bailey, it was swift and mering in its decision. It declared in its latest revision of 1907 that "Any person, who, with intent to injure or defraud his employer, entered into a contract in writing for the performance of any act of service and thereby obtain and without refunding such money fails to perform such act of service, must on conviction be punished as if he had stolen it." For more than a decade the question of determining the expression, with intent to defraud" puzzled the Solons and politicians, but in 1903 and 1907 the gordian knot was clipped for saith the amendment of 1903 "Failure to pay or perform the service is prime facie evidence of intention to defraud." But then a man might by his evidence show that he could not have intended to defraud. And so the law ruled that the offender could not rebut this prime facie evidence by testifying his unexpressed intentions at the time of making the contract. Then, too, there was nothing in all this to fill the coffers of the state. Go to, the laborer must enrich the commonwealth From this came the swift and unmerited course of 1907, to wit. A person so offending must on conviction be punished by a fine double the damage suffered by the injured party, but not more than $300, one-half of said fare to go to the county and one-half to the injured party." Such was the law, such was the caliphr before the law, guilty, and his innocence could not be proved. Apprehension of the offender was all that was necessary. He had left without repaping, he could not testify, the leaving was evidence on the face of it that his intentions were fraudulent Some Ridiculous Situations for the State. That all common workmen were not born frudges was a discovery soon made by a few honest judges of the state. Superior almost than the contract law got well under way, some of them pernicious honest fellows with a taste for independent justice, began to smell out a flaw. A laborer entered into a contract for a year, receiving advanced money. At the end of six months his wife falling sick, the laborer had to take her away for treatment, and thus failed to complete his contract. This was prima facie evidence of his intent to fraud. Another laborer entering into a year's contract was arrested and imprisoned for an offense committed three months after signing his contract. He was now absent, by his failure to carry out an agreement or to refund, guilty of fraudulent intent. A woman forming an agreement for a similar matter met later on a man with whom she fell in love. Before the end of a year she married and moved away. She was apprehended and brought before the courts upon the charge of previous intent to deprive her employer. Such are some of the actual cases which came before the courts, and at which upright jurists began to demur and even declare void. The Law Assailed by Southern Judges. Alonzo Bailey was not the first Negro to test this law. In 1905 Jim Thomas, a Negro laborer, was brought before Judge William E. Thomas of Montgomery for the violation of the Labor Contract Law. Judge Thomas even then ruled in the city court that the "prima facie" section of the law was unconstitutional according to both state and federal laws. The Supreme Court of the state, however, reversed Judge Thomas decision. But the prisoner went free and the case did not fall in the hands of Uncle Sam. In 1907 a like case occurred in Talladega County. Judge G. K. Miller ruling as Judge Thomas had ruled. Once more the Supreme Court of the state reversed the decision, but once more also the prisoner went free. Judge W. H. Thomas of Montgomery, from the time referred to has figured in cases of this kind. When the woman who had married after forming her contract came before him he dismissed her, showing that since she had never seen the man before she formed the contract she could not have had fraudulent intentions. Then in 1908, the case now in question, Alonzo Bailey defrauding the Riverside Company. Bailey was bound over to the grand jury, and his counsels, two white southern lawyers, Ed S. Watts and W. R. Harr, instituted habeas corpus proceedings on the grounds that the contract law was contrary to both the state and federal law. Both the lower and Supreme Courts of the state refused the writ of habeas corpus, and the case thus wandered into the jurisdiction of Uncle Samuel. Upon a writ of error (that is to say Bailey had not been tried) the case was returned to the state, duly tried, and Alonzo Bailey, under the charge of refusal of the work for or fund of the Riverside Company, was convicted and sentenced, his failure to do either being prima facie evidence that he intended to defraud this company. All this the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed, thus sustaining the Labor Contract Law of Alabama. Once more the case knocked at the door of the Supreme Court of the land, and the test of the contract law was now applied. Alleging that the 13th amendment was violated by the Alabama law, the Department of Justice took a hand in the case, "as a friend of the courts" Through Justice Hughes the court dismissed the point that Bailey was a Negro, as there was nothing in the law to indicate special discrimination against Negroes. It announced further that so far as Bailey was concerned, the law as it stands was the same as if it made breach of such a contract a misdemeanor without saying anything about intent to defraud. To argue otherwise was characterized by Justice Hughes as making a distinction where there was no difference. Furthermore, it was held that a state could not reduce a person to involuntary servitude by the indirect method of considering his failure to pay a debt a crime, and that the law in operation furnished a convenient instrument for the coercion which the constitution and an act of Congress forbid and that it was an instrument of compulsion peculiarly effective against the poor and ignorant, its most likely victims. "That the provisions of the constitution and laws designed to secure enduring prosperity which depended upon freedom of contract, would soon become a barren form if it was possible to establish a statutory presumption of this sort and to hold over the heads of laborers the threat of punishment for crime, under the name of fraud, but merely upon evidence of failure to work out their debts." Effect of Ruling. Thus the new justices, many of them Democrats and Southerners, entered upon their career by making a distinct page in American history. Not only is Alabama affected by this law, but Georgia, Florida and until recently, North and South Carolina must readjust their labor scheme with a clear view of greater freedom for the laborer. Under such laws as the one just annulled, men have been kept slaves until their death, the slavery passing on even to their children Abuses of various kinds such as a Negro borrowing money simply, yet the planter swearing that the Negro had signed an agreement to work out the loan, with the poor black standing by daring not to dispute; one year's contract expanding into several by dint of interest on the money advanced have been among crimes protected and nourished by the states in which these laws were in force. That they were intended for the Negro farm laborer is perfectly clear, as no other kind of debtor is specified in the bond, and no other kind of laborer has been brought to justice under this law. Miners, though transported to the mines in hundreds and though have quit before they even began to repay, are never indicted. Persons running up accounts at stores and the like, all frequently with a genuine intention to defraud never have to face justice for intent to defraud. Southern Men's Fight. That the Supreme Court has thus ruled is indeed a remarkable and exaggerating fact, but that the whole case should have been fought out by southern white men in the heart of the black belt is cause for even greater rejoicing. Sojourner Truth once plied this question to Frederick Douglas, when the latter had delivered a speech NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1911. Eminent Authority on Mental Disorders Declares the White Students are In-same on the Color Question. Special to The New York Asn. Washington, D. C., Jan. 17.—Considerable excitement has been aroused among the medical students attending George Washington and Georgetown Universities by the presence of thirty Howard University medical students at one of their regular lectures. Dr. White, of the Washington Asylum for the Insane, who is the authority on mental diseases for this part of the country, invited the Howard students to attend his afternoon lectures. These lectures are a part of the regular medical course of these white universities. When the students from Georgetown and George Washington appeared to hear their regular lecture, they were surprised to find a large number of colored men from Howard in the room awaiting Dr. White. They held a short consultation and refused to enter. White Students Turned Down. The matter was reported to the deans of the respective colleges by the students and by the doctor in charge, Dean Kober, of Georgetown, manifested sympathy with his students in their refusal to attend lectures in the college students and upon the requests of various of the white men in the regular classes, sought a private interview with Dr. White and endeavored to get him to give the lecture twice a week for the men from Howard and once for the students from the other universities. He was given to understand by Dr. White that the students who failed to enter his lecture were mentally unbound on the question of color, and that before they would re-enter his classes they would have to give satisfactory explanation for leaving out his lecture. The doctor also stated that he would find it absolutely impossible to attempt a duplicate lecture each week; that he would talk regularly as before, but without withdrawing his invitation from the Howard medical students. Looking for Another Leoturer. Dean Kober and the dean of George Washington University are now casting about for a new lecturer on the subject of mental diseases, but up to date their search has not been rewarded. The student has been awarded University has been willing to say about the matter and do not seem to be greatly concerned as to the outcome, save that they have taken occasion to express to Dr. White their appreciation of the manly stand he took in the matter and regretting that their presence was the cause of such wide notoriety as the white press has given the incident. FARMERS MEET AT UTICA Mississippi Farmare Hold Eleventh Annual Session—Address of Principal Hotzcolaw—Adopt Forceful Replocations. Special to The New York Ace. Utica, Miss., Jan. 17.—A strong, common sense address to Negro farmers by William H Holtzclaw, principal and founder of the Utica Normal Industrial Institute, remarkable stories by individual Negro farmers, who told of their efforts to purchase land and educate their children and a sane, conservative public address by the farmers and visitors assembled were the principal features of the seventh annual Farmers' Conference which was held at the institute yesterday. In his address to the farmers, Prof. Holtzclaw explained the object of the conferences to be an honest effort on the part of the institution to be of some service to the people of the community, and gave some pointed advice to the race. Shiftlessness, illness, being always in bed, was strongly condemned by the prominent leader and on the other hand, he told his audiences if they wanted to enjoy prosperity they must get it just as other people do. "The price of success is industry, thrift, economy and morality," said Mr Holtzclaw, "with these you must mix a good degree of foresight. For nearly fifty years you have been renting lands and you have worked it until you have literally worked it to death. Yet there are some in this house to-day who are not worth one cent more than they have forty-eight years ago. We get into the habit of believing that the world is against us, that the white man is making an effort to keep us down. There is nothing in the world to keep the alp spirited Negroes in the tight standard of citizenship. In this effort, we have always the personal assistance of the best white people in the various communities. I have never found one white man, whose opinion amounted to anything in the community, who was opposed to Negroes being respectable, progressive citizens. On the other hand, I know them by the hundred, who have helped the Negroes to buy aid attain respectable places as citizens." Many Personal Experiences Related. The personal experience of many of the unlettered Negro farmers, who have been inspired by the institution in its efforts to believe their conditions formed by the most interesting portion of the conference program. Several others were taken up by the personal interest of the farmer, farmers of whom declared that they received their inspirations from the school and its teachings. Pleasant McCadney, Isaiah Marshall, Daniel Griffin, Henry Samples, and many other farmers who have struggled hard until they are now in comfortable situations, give such testimony. Significant resoultions prepared by a committee composed of Prof. T. J. Johnson, F. G. Smith, Will Dixon, C. W. Kelley and M. D Anderson, were read and adopted unanimously. The resolutions were vigorous and forceful and expressed the real sentiment of the progressive Negro The Negro was commended in all efforts to be law abiding, to acquire property, to raise the moral status and industrial education held up as of the greatest possible benefit to the masses. A frank statement of the condition of the rural schools and the lack of law enforcement was one of the real worthy features of the address. In this regard it reads. We cannot believe that land owners will continue to permit their Negro laborers to go into the crowded cities, simply because it is in the cities that they receive a better law, and a better opportunity to climate their children which cannot be bad in the country. The Negro is in the natural element when he is dear the soil. It is better for him, for the white man and our country, that for the present at least, he should remain to a very large extent in the rural districts. We beg therefore, that the officers of the law and the public sentiment generally make it possible that the Negro to receive the full opportunity to educate his children in the same proportionment on the plantation that he would if he were in the large cities. It cannot be expected that the Negroes remain on the farm from year to year, receiving scant wages, and getting this only once a year with two educational opportunities, because all teachers are poorly paid. All this means that to a very great extent, the Negroes of the State of Mississippi make up fifty-eight per cent of the population. We do not even suggest that the white child shall the State have one per cent. less than they already receive for their education. But they are the best interest of the whole country will demand that the Negro receive more. The members of the conference are going to make a united effort to get a larger appropriation from the state for educational purposes DR. HAYNE DEAD Funeral W was Hold Tuesday From Bridge Street A. M. E. Church—Was Regarded As An able Member of the Reao. The funeral of Joseph E. Hayne. D. D. M. D. who died last Saturday at his residence, 319 Grand street, Brooklyn, after a week's illness, was held Tuesday morning from the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, Rev A. R. Cooper officiating. The deceased, who was regarded as one of the able men of his race, was born of slave parentage in Charleston, S. C. He enlisted in the South Carolina Volunteers, United States Infantry, and served as commissary sergeant to cloak of the Civil War. He matriculated at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., where the received degree of A. B. He also attended Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, and graduated from the theological department of Howard University, Washington, D. C., in 1872. The deceased worked in the public printing office at Washington, where he invented a printing and folding press. He was one of the founders of the South Carolina Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is one of the greatest conferences in the denomination. He held all the important charges in this conference and served as a presiding elder in it for over twelve years, during which time he published a colored weekly journal. Dr. Hayne was put forth as a candidate for bishop in 1889, but gave his support to another. He was dean of the theological department of Allen University, Columbia, S. C., for four years. While there he took a course in medicine. He was admitted to practice in the State of North Carolina in 1894. The deceased was an acknowledged Latin, Greek and Hebrew scholar, and for twenty-five years he made use of both public and private libraries in different parts of the country, sometimes at great sacrifice, to get the fullest possible history of his race. He was the author of quite a number of books on the Negro. PROF. J. C. CORBIN DEAD. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Pine Bluff, Ark., Jan. 17—Prof. J. C Corbin, one of the best known Negro educators of the South, died in this city last week. The remains lay in state in the Masonic Temple for several days and then were taken to Chicago for interment. The deceased was born in Ohio in 1835, and received a degree at the Ohio University. He established the Branch Normal College of Arkansas and was connected with the institution for thirty years. ST. PHILIP'S P. E. CHURCH IN PROGRESS OF ERECTION 134th Street near Seventh Avenue EXCLUSIVE NEGRO COLONY IN CALIFORNIA Allensworth is Located Between San Francisco and Los Angeles IDEAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS Land Can Be Farmed the Year Around Colony Consists of Several Thousand Acres of Rich Land. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 16.—In California, Tulare County, about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, there has been established a colony exclusively for colored people—where it is being demonstrated to the world the capabilities and fitness of Negroes to govern themselves and organize and manage their own enterprises. Col. Allen Allensworth, U S A., retired, is the founder of this colony, and for the past three years has done nothing but devote his entire time and energy to the practical development and realization of his life-long dream of an exclusive colony under the ideal conditions existing in the favored State of California. The colony consists of several thousand acres of the wonderfully rich, deep, level, silt land that has made the San Joaquin Valley famous the world over. On this land can be produced practically any kind of semi-tropical fruits as well as all vegetables, and alfalfa to such a great extent that dairy- and hog-raising will in all probability become the greatest source of revenue. Deep flowing artesian wells furnish the water for irrigation and domestic purposes as a nominal cost In addition to the farming tracts there is a well laid out town which can now boast a hotel, schoolhouse, post office, local and long distance telephone exchange, warehouse, stores and many substantial and attractive homes The school is the only one exclusively for Negroes in the West, and Prof. W A. Payne is the only colored teacher on the Pacific Coast This colony is still in its infancy, but now, under the management of Messrs Hahne and Monk, general agents for the property, it is advancing beyond al expectations, and will, before long, be another milestone in the race's march of progress There are approximately eighty people living in Allensworth at this writing, but a large influx is expected in time for the spring planting, as about three-fourths of the acreage has been sold, and also a large number of town lots. The land is being sold principally in five and ten acre tracts for $110 an acre, with water for irrigation, $2 an acre down and $200 an acre a month Town lots are selling from $100 up—$100 down and $500 a month. Unable to ideal climatic conditions, where the land can be farmed the year around, in a locality where N groes are warmly welcomed and to come and accept the high that prevail where labor is where land will pay for itself time, on a trans-continental where health, independent perity await—there is the Opportunity."

This is construed to mean that the four or five colored clerks in that office will continue to hold their positions, and that it is a part of the Harmon program to nurse and favor the colored vote in order to secure it in 1912. All through the State Democracy is coddling up to the Negro voters and are entertaining the belief that with their favoritism for him, and his complaint against the Republican party because of alleged lack of recognition and favoritism of separate schools in Columbus and other towns in Ohio, on the part of the Republican party, the majority of the Fifty Thousand colored votes of Ohio can be depended upon for Harmon in 1912. The Democrats have already begun organizing the colored vote for the great contest in 1912. Raports from all over the state indicate that the colored vote is in more than a receptive mood NO "JIM CROW" SENTIMENT Commissioners Report the Residents of Washington, D. C., Do Not Favor Separate Conveyances for Recea. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, D. C., Jan. 17.—That Washington has no sentient, which asks for a "Jim Crow" law applicable to street cars, railroad cars and boats is the answer of the Commissioners to the bill introduced January 6 by Representative Clark of Florida providing for separate accommodations on public carriers for the white and Negro races. The Commissioners sent their views on this bill to the Capitol and they are embodied in a single sentence, which informs the House that the Commissioners know of no sentiment for such a law. The bill is designed to force railroad companies, street car companies, steamboat companies and every transportation company operating vehicles within the District, to provide separate and distinct accommodations for the conveyance of white and Negro cars. It provides that accommodations for one race shall be as comfortable as those provided for the other. The bill fixes the penalty for the active head of any corporation violating the provisions of the proposed law at five hundred to a thousand dollars' fine, from three to six months in jail, or both fine and at the discretion of the court. It also provides that a suit be brought against any compiling the provisions of the statute by any citizen of $1 damages to be recovered $500 for every day of vig go to the person br half to go to the Distri CROMELIN SIR Rohabilita* sible * 8lnc d Has Largest Circulation PRICE 5 CENTS COMPARE LOT OF COLORED WOMAN Said to Fare Better in The South Than She Does in The North GREATER OPPORTUNITIES More Industries Said to be Open to Female Members of Race in the Southern States MANY TEMPTATIONS NORTH National League for the Protection of Colored Women Issues Annual Report Members of Organization. In the annual report of the National League for the protection of Colored Women, a comparison is made of the opportunities afforded the colored woman in the North and in the South for making a livelihood. The statement is made that the situation is much better in the South, and that more industries are opened to the female members of the race in that section than in the Northern States: The report The situation which faces the colored woman in the North, especially the untrained Southern woman, presents more difficulties than in the South. Most industries, other than domestic service, are closed to her; domestic service in the South is limited; temporary lodgings in decent neighborhoods at reasonable cost are hard to find; employment in good families without references is hard to obtain; work in cafes and public restaurants often carries with it great moral risks; the cost of living is double than in her home in the South; good associates are hard to find; a couple's days' work is done where can she go for recreation. The streets are not safe, and the dance halls and other amusements open to her are warra. The Southern colored woman is very poorly equipped to grapple with this environment. She is usually untrained in domestic service, comes from a rural community, has been urged to leave her home by an employment agent who gets a big fee for her, and leaves her home without sufficient clothes or money and no information about her home. She arrives in Southern port, boards some vessel whose accommodations are often inadequate, and is given an address or told that she be met. Often she has not car fare to get across the city after she arrives. Even when she is not the victim of the employment agent she frequently leaves in no responsible way, hopeless or work.

NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY District of Columbia Commissioners Commended for Declaring Against "Jim Crow" Cars in Washington—Tanner Pictures in Corooroan Art Gallery—Other News. Regular Correspondence of THE AGR. Washington, D. C., Jan 17 —The Commissioners of the District of Columbia have been commended by the colored citizens for their action in the question of Jim Crow cars for the city electric lines. A bill was recently introduced in Congress to a representative from Florida, providing for the separation of the cars in the street cars. The bill was ratified by the three commissioners of the city for consideration as to the advisability of its pas- After holding up the measure for several weeks the commissioners reported that there was absolutely no sentiment among the residents of the city of Washington in favor of a separation of the races in public conveyance, and that there was consequently no need for the passage of such a radical measure. The Colonel art Gallery is being visited by a number of colored persons by individually and in clubs where interest has been aroused because of the appearance of two of the pictures for which the colored artist, H. O. Tanner, has been given such a high name in the world of art. It has been the general impression among the colored people of the capital who are really interested in art that there was a stipulation in art that there was Corcoran that most of the pictures of any colored artist should be hung in art gallery. A valuable invention has recently been patented by a Washington colored man. A Lt. Richie, who has conducted a private garage here for several years, Mr. Richie has invented a telephone register, which is a small contrivance attached to telephones and worked to the holder of the register key. Its use will revolutionize the telephone system on an advantageous basis. It is proposed that registers be attached to telephones. A call is made and the party desired is located, the central office will tell the person who calls to register. The person so directed will turn the key in the register and a call will be recorded there as well as in the telephone office. Advices were sent last week to Minister Furniss in Haytvl through Secretary Knox of the Department of State that the United States has withdrawn all of its equipment and the funding of the internal debt of the little republic. The loan will now be permitted and assistance given Haytvl in the matter. The Alexander Hamilton National Memorial Association met at the New Willard a few evening exams and announced that $6,000 already has been raised for the erection of the Hamilton status in Washington, and that subscription to such larger programs is planned to be given as soon as a site is selected by the congressional committee in charge.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGR. Buffalo. Jan. 17.—In my letter last week I spoke of the churches and their work and now I am to discuss Buffalo's professional men. Every year there are thousands of colored men and women—who are *screaming the line* and Buffalo adds here to the line. Amanda does, and we have three, two have crossed the line and all of them are married to Caucasian. The oldest practitioner in Buffalo is Dr Frank L. Watkins, who for more than twenty years has been acknowledged as one of Buffalo's best physicians. Dr Watkins has built up a very extensive white trade, but also practices among his own people. No more charitable man lives in Buffalo than Dr. Watkins and on account of his charitable work, he has a great many unpaid men have worked his generosity and robbed him of hundreds of dollars. No one ever leaves his door hungry and many have been helped by him, not knowing who was their benefactor. Dr. Watkins owns several pieces of real estate, his office rooms are well furnished and equipped. He has wonderful success with his patients, and several times has taken obstinate cases under his supervision and cured them after having been practical in their work. Dr Watkins examines physician for the Masons and Eastern Stars, for the Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth. Dr Watkins is indeed a credit to the community. Dr D H Van Vranken is a very successful chiropodist on the west side. Dr Louis E De Courlander is an electrical doctor, at one time he had a very fine electrical outfit on Main street. I think he is now located on the west side. The Hill brothers are surgeon dentists. They are nephews of the late James Hill of Mississippi. The Hill family had been Buffalo seven years and had a very auspicious introduction into Buffalo society. They entered the Buffalo school of dentistry, graduated and are now practicing. Buffalo has only had one laywer who has really practiced before the bar here the late Albert M Thomas. Lawyer Thomas was a Yale man and honored by the colored and white citizens and recognized as a lawyer of ability. Junius C Ayler was associated with him for a few months. Mr. Ayler left Buffalo to practice in New York City. James Alexander Ross has devoted his time in Buffalo to political and newspaper work, but has never practiced. Robert H. Merriwweather of Washington, D.C. has resided in the state over a year and now that his legal residence has been sustained expects to be admitted to the bar and to practice very soon. This brings a wonderful opportunity to the right kind of professional men. It is to be regretted that so many of them turn away from the race, as the local prejudice in Buffalo is not strong and a good man need not be afraid to det anyone know whether he is white or black. Can the work" is the question asked here. The oldest professional man in point of years of service is George H. Thompson of Laurel street, who for twenty-seven years has been connected with the famous world renowned Pierce's Medical Institute. Here come thousands of men and women each year from every country in the world, and the Pierce Company considers him one of the best, and most efficient trained nurses in their employ. Mr. Thompson is a very modest appearing gentleman and has a responsibility of his own unquestionably. He can always be found at his post of duty and yet occupies a conspicuous place in the community. David Lee is also a trained nurse in the Pierce employ. Before entering that institution he was eagerly sought by the best white physicians whenever stubborn cases needed careful and efficient trained nursing. Only a few did, and he took rest, did he find time to do so, as he had more calls than he could fill. Some sixteen or 18 years ago after many flattering inducements he finally entered the Pierce Institute. Mr. Lee and Mr. Thompson stand at the head of Dr. Pierce's paid employees list. The question asked both of them surely been. Can they do the work? Experience has answered. They have. Mr Thompson is chief of the day staff of trained day nurses, and Mr Lee is chief of the night staff of trained nurses. Later in discussing the families of Buffalo I will speak of them in a social way and of their social life in the community. The youngest professional man in Buffalo is Joseph Williams of Auburn, N.Y. Coming to Buffalo four years ago, a stranger, he entered the university and completed the course of study with honor, graduating from the department of pharmacy.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New Newx Acr Publishing Company THE FIRST STEP. The Methodist brethren have been greatly exercised lately over the attitude of the Southern Methodists and the Methodists as to organs, union, the future well being of the colored members of the Methodist Church and the possibility of a general union of all colored Methodist bodies. The Age has watched with much interest first this and that most of each force in Methodism, and read with great an interest what the seventh from the colored bodies have had to do in respect to the questions involved. While much has been written, nothing distinctly has been said. The Southern stern Christ in the Methodist Church has been greatly compounded in striving silence. The Methodist Church has not the quest in with bright eyes on while the Christian Index is heartily in favor of a new church of Methodists everywhere. Last year Bishop Scott's own colored Bishop in the Methodist Church, plainly stated that he has not not only lost the time come for the withdrawal of the colored members of the parent Methodist Church, but that the white members of the Church desire a division, and that, speaking for one, he is ready to go. Many of Bishop Scott's stanchest friends are opposed to his views, and doubt that he has accrued to wisely sinned the situation. No one, however doubts or denies the force of his argument, the essence of which is that it would be "better for the colored members to get out before they are put out." The question, then, is, will they be put out; if so, when, and on what grounds? The subtle points involved in the present discussion, and to be more deeply involved in the surely wide debate that will engage us before the final settlement of the future relations of the membership of the entire Methodist Church, we leave to those directly concerned We say in passing that the reasons against leaving the mother church so ably advanced by those that desire to remain are not to be despised, indeed, they carry with them much of sense and force and patriotism With respect to the possibility of a just and agreeable federation of all the colored Methodist bodies in the near future, we reiterate and emphasize what before we have said. While so many ambitious men have high voices in that matter, we have no hopes that so happy a consummation will be effected this side half a century, if then! We believe that a majority of members of each colored Methodist body is anxious to see one great ecclesiastical body, realizing how much more effective work could be done through one strong well organized church than through a half dozen bodies each jealous of the reputation and progress of the other. But the members do not exercise much of their powers, and are unacquainted with much of their authority. Pushing aside these observations for a moment, we came upon the news of what we believe is the first step in the federation of the Southern and Northern churches the final arrangement, of which will is thoughtful men so weaken the place of it does not ultimately destroy it that the colored member occupies in the scheme and interest of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Two white churches at Chattanooga, one a Southern body and the other a "Northern" body, have decided on "closer communion." We append two paragraphs in the agreement. To the end that the unity of spirit may come into the unity of service the committee has agreed that all fraternity and kindly relations between two churches should be fostered by bringing the iople together in religious exercises by co operating one with the other in every good work. Confidently anticipating that the joint commission created by the respective general conferences of Mothodists will speedily formulate a plan for unification, we are asked to Akition, we are agreed that our plans for new church buildings should be held in abaance as far as consistent with the interests involved pending the final adjustment of the whole problem and authorized authorities of the communities. Does the term "all the Methodist forces in America" include Negro Methodists? "All" usually includes everybody, but in the civil and religious laws of the United States some word or clause is invariably used to show all that "all" is not always an absolute term without confusion. THE RABBIT COUNTRY. Washington writers are telling how much at this season of the year President Laft would like to get away from his political and public burdens and hunt rabbits in the South Whore else pray does the President think that he or anybody else can hunt rabbits two or three twisted tail rabbits, except in a rabbit country? An Eastern Mohawk rabbit is an art less creature that has never been truly or thoroughly educated in the port he is expected to play in the great sport of the sphere. Having acquaintance, more or less intimate with the principal leaders of rabbitdom in either section, we venture our judgment in respect of good rabbits and true against all others. The southern rabbit his prowess, his art virtues, his clusiveness and general high traits we are prepared to defend. And yet we are not fully ready to accept without further proof the recent claim of President Dudley of the North Carolina State College that oneACK rabbit chased three of Cousar Cone's full bloomed for two more back of Proximity, he have in view in all things. The Aeg hopes that the President if he keeps his mind as to rabbit hunting will not be influenced by the claims of the founders of the Dauwilde, the Culpepper, the Missouri Kinawha, the Rocky Mount of the Mecklenburg rabbit. They are backyard, frightened by half breeds that would crack of a gun or run at back of a colg. The New Yorker but would teach the politic ENSLAVER LO PRISON In the opinion of many recent currence in Alabama I have served to blot out peonage in the Southern states. We have already referred to the recent decision of the Supreme Court President Taft has just refused to modify the sentence of W. S.

This means that this rich and influential white man goes to the penitentiary at Atlanta within the next few days.

One of the reasons for our believing the Ngo is incompetent of controlling, is because every time he gets angry, he either puts his own head off or the other compels him to do so. A foolish Ngo said the other day, wait until Governor Please takes his seat and you will see that Thomas Miller will be removed. His only reason was that Governor Bienese did not like Miller because of his position of care. The former man would not have made that remark. Now!

Washington to the White People of Alabama and the South. their Natives in the arms of the Black Lords, as this. In no other of the Black Lords counties were Natives burgled with a crime, nor were they exiled and often interned. In spite of these circumstances, the country insisted on the Negro. The experience of the civilized world shows that when the most care and dedication is in the part of law, the most experience is in the sometimes punished. In the face of this experience it is impossible for a wild frenzied and excited mob of people to pass judgment upon the guilt or atroachment of the individual. In my opinion of the Negroes understand that the crimes they commit are gradually going to be im proved as fast as the State can do and that they will receive police protection in case they are charged with crimes in the country districts, as they do in the cities, then the best colored people from the country districts into the cities. THE NEGRO PRESS They Know All That. When black men learn that in this life of the survival of the fittest, they must meet competition with competition that the world like a man to be a man and not a child, they will have solved all their problems.

These work is abundant, there wages are good, there food is easily obtained for the soil is productive, there competition is not sharp and there the soil, the sun, the rain and all else know no color and set no race bounds. As fine corn, and potatoes and potatoes anywhere weed Negro fields. The Negro from the plantation (and the larger part comes from there), is not adapted to city life, knows nothing of city sanitation and is easily discouraged by the endless bustle and stir demanded to make a living. When he comes to town he assumes the easy way to buy food, finds himself pennitess. He is forced to live in a low, un sanitary locality and to shelter a wife and his numerous progeny in a small and stifling "gun barrel" tenement. Fifth surrounds him on every hand and thus deprived of food and cash he soon stickens and die hard. A large death rate of the city Negroes comes from among those who recently left the farm. -Star of Zion A Sweet Farewell. Slightly Governor Comer is his message did not forget to mention the Negro. He says that between the whites and the Negroes there has been less friction, fewer murders, fewer assaults and fewer bishops than ever before. He also says that the Negro community has made advancements. In discussing the Negro further he calls the attention of the people to the schooling or education of our people, mentioning the different schools that are drawing on the State treasurer, and says "I do not agree with the idea of a Negro school. Negro is bad. I believe that as the mind is developed and expanded by education, no matter what the race and previous condition, that every capacity is made better and every faculty improved. This statement is made regardless of many individual cases that have to prove the contrary"—Mobile Press. POLITICAL NOTES Governor Ben W.

It is not only written in Mr Davis' well known breezy style, but it has the specific approval and endorsement of Mrs Browne Smith, the financier's widow. Usually, however the endorsement of a biography by the family of the subject, is the most sign of its general worthlessness. In the book of a woman, whose idea of a biography is characterized sentences, is an indication of its utter worthlessness. Mr Davis' book is a really valuable addition to Negro literature. --- Albert S. Cook, the authority on Bible literature, in his introduction to "The Authorized Version of the Bible, celebrates Shakespeare, not only as the first and highest name in English literature, but also as a very sensible poet, who by his sublimest poetic thoughts and flights, took recourse to the beauty and wealth of the Psalms Mr. Cook says. Shakespeare, by common consent, is the author of the litteration of Shakespeare's prose, Churtton makes five classes, the last being what he calls highly wrought poetical prose. "This," he says, "is the style where Shakespeare has raised prose to the sublimest pitch of verse." As the first illustration of it he chooses Hamlet. That goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave orchanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, this gorgeous other thing to me than a foul and postilient cone of vapors. What a piece of work is man' how noble in reason' how infinite in faculty' in form and moving how express and admirable' in action how like an angel' in apprehension how like a god' The beauty of the world, the animals' And yet, to me, what is this possession of dust? Man delights not me. That, indeed, is fine rhetoric, but how apostrophile it is, and how repetitious' Canopy,' "firmament," "roof,"—thus it is amplified. Again, even if we can distinguish between "noble in reason'," "apprehension like a god," how shall we like clear to ourselves the difference between "moving" and "action"? And what an anti-ellimax—the paragon of animals! This is Shakespeare, though, to be sure. Shakespeare putting words into more dramatic character. And now, merely as a composition, compare Psalms with 3.8. "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon, and the stars which thou hast ordained what is man, that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man, that thou vistest him? For thou has made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou mastest him to have dominion over his hands, thou hast put all things under his hands and upon sea, and the beasts of the field the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas." Does "moon and stars" appeal less forcibly to the imagination than "gold on fire"? Shakespeare are "mystical roof" is unrelated to mann the "heavens" of the Biblical passage are knelt up in to the same fabric with him in the Psalm there is nothing hyperbolic. May the man be "mystical, infinite in faculty," nor may we assume a universal consensus that he is above everything else, the beauty of the world. In the Psalm he is subordinated to the heavens, only to be exalted over the creatures, and, when he is said to be "a little lower than the angels," the moderation of tone is more permanently effective than the angels of heaven like angel* which seems merely a piece of somewhat hysterical exaggeration—though, perhaps, dramatically in keeping—to one who has formed his conception of angels from the Bible, Dante, or Milton, from the Hermes of the ancient poet, or even from Shakespeare's own line in this same play.

Foraker argued during the week the Corporation Tax Law before the Supreme Court as Washington. Henry Wilder Foote, after a month's investigation of southern schools for both white and colored children, writes an interesting and instructive report to the Christian Register. Mr. Foote thinks that one of the surest ways to insure justice to the Negro from the native white boys and girls to educate the boys and girls. To this work he believes that the north ought to contribute liberally. We quote a single paragraph: It is not easy for many Northerners to imagine the need of schools for white boys and girls, which still exists in the South. They forget that it is far easier to provide schools for an urban than for a predominantly rural population, that the South labors under the necessity of maintaining the need for schools and blacks, and that, though now prosperous as never before, the South lost practically all its accumulated wealth in the war, and is still relatively poor. Sometimes Northerners also say, "Let the South educate the whites, and let us give for Negro education. They do not see the white boys and girls, nor that the generous donations coming from the North solely for Negro education breed a certain resentment in the hearts of Southern whites; nor, above all, that the promotion of education and of high ideals among the whites is one of the surrest ways of helping the Negro. It is ignorant, low in quality, and the worst enemy of the Negro. If you fill the hearts of white boys and girls with understanding and generosity, the black race will benefit accordingly. The fact stands that the South does need such schools as those and that, though they will, as time passes, be increasingly supported by local contributions, at present, by liberals the country over have the vision to see that here is an opportunity to advance our nations by making an investment in patrolism.

SCIENTIFIC COLONIZING (From The Sun) Mr. S. F. Nermer, a pioneer and explorer in the Bigin Congo, has written an excellent paper upon scientific colonization in the substance of which is published in the Bulletin of the American can be national Society. The key note of the paper presents a struck in this, and in an interesting lines of discussion. Beware of the path of death For the path of life For the path of life There are still plenty of organisms on the earth's surface, and there is therefore a good deal to be done. Often in the past the best done by man was by the best host by selecting only the most impregnations of operation when methods of transportation were primitive and hygienic but with the best materials and techniques with the best method of conveyance and the best equipment. Here the best was established and there must be like the colony formed and not necessarily it was desired. Distance of most of the countries in North America well as in Central and most of South America say, Mr. Verner was that the only settlement were deathtraps. At the months of every one of the Voyage and South American rivers there were most pest hole. It is true that some has converted some of the pest holes into places where water can be secure from well water, but others take its tool even with the interrupted heat is extolling with the result that capital is slow to respond to demand upon it, and development logs. Mr. Verner days down several rules for scientific colonization. His first is that a port should be found on the coast "nearest to any elevated region or mountain, if possible having an altitude of 9,000 feet or more under the equate, or to the north or south, 1000 feet or deeper." There must of course be a temporary base on the coast, but he would restrict settlement "to the barest requirements for reaching these uplands." He eliminates the river as an essential: "It will be found that generally there is a sort of high peninsula abutting on or projecting sometimes for out to sea where a watershed runs down to the beaten between two rivers. This is notably the case with Cameroon Mountain, which marks the ocean terminus of the watershed between the Calabar and Bennanga rivers. There are plenty of other such watersheds mining and logging, and are neglected as possible buses, boat-mariners have aimed at the estuaries, while really these promotories often form camports for the best harbors. The promotories are also usually the nearest natural seaports for the highlands from which they extend. There is one special example of the application of this principle, where the French Government has built a city at Bukac below the mouth of the Senegal and practical terminus as such which has been designated as the finest, healthiest and most successful port in West Africa and is a shining example of the application of this idea." The hinterland of Sierra Leone and Liberia, the Cameroons, *Begijian Congo, Angola and Mashonaland* provide such elevated tracts for colony bases. Mr Verner in adding western South America to the list forgets that good harbors are rare on the Pacific Coast. A temporary base has been established, "build a preliminary rapid transit line from the port to the colony," he says. Building railroads in tropical lowlands is an unhealthy business, but with modern constructive methods rapid progress is possible. The "most woeful mistakes" have been made in not providing fresh food for the men engaged in opening up a new country "immigrants into Lebanon," says Mr. Verner, "have almost starved to death in one of the richest agricultural regions in the world. This law with my own eyes." The book of a proper food supply "dimsorted the Bengal railway." We are of and it is urged should be charged at once by the authorities and the ground propulsion to try to train of food stuffs. We must make sure dump pailers, stowing pailers, go back turn plugs, a sufficient amount soon be made available for the support of the land and in the presence of banches, and in the range and towls. Sister Mary, the most important account that I have of her work is to be supplied to the Secretary of the Board of Trustees. Mrs. Johnson is buried, a lady of the church, and I have sent to life in the trips she prevailed for every body involved in the enterprise, both at the hospital and at the mine. Mrs. Johnson is not to be neglected. It is the most important mission that the Temple is to accomplish. The most difficult task I ever knew at a time one which I hold his post for twenty years in every training position, says Mr. Verner. He probably plays 10000 games of tennis in that time. Therefore, these should be a grimnasium at the hill colony and a field of sports. No trading establishment, residence store or factory below the safety in another rule of scientific colonization. The main base above the safe line being established, automobile traction roads are to be built as acessories to the railroad, and spur line run down to watershed rivers. The should be supervision of forest clearing to assure an adequate supply of timber and to conserve rainfall. In a governmental schemes land ought be reserved at low cost to the individual colonists. In the French Congo this is done in the Belgian Congo not. The French possessions in the upper Niger have been developed to such a plan as Mr. Verners from the West Coast at Dakar, and the result is "a standing object lesson in colonial development." It does not deter from the value of this lesson that the French laterly were forced to get in to the hinterland by the back door because the English held the lower Niger. Sufficient organization is necessary with modernization. It belongs to the class of technology, steam drills, machinery, lab testing devices, machinery for cleaning ground and drilling the sand sampler and logging and construction equipment. It is an insensitive and cold treatment, and nothing need be done if not wanted. It is the Mr. Vernor Systems program for great care but not great profit.

Pastor Russell Quotes Scriptural Authority Proving That the Logos Was the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Conclusion, of Jehovah's Creation. Philadelphia, Pa. January 15. - Pastor Russell preached yesterday from the text, "In the beginning was the Word (Logos) and the Word (Logos) was with the God and the Word (Logos) was a God. The same was in Philadelphia, Pa. January 15. - Pastor Russell preached yesterday from the text, "In the beginning was the Word (Logos) and the Word (Logos) was with the God and the Word (Logos) was a God. The same was in the beginning with the God. By him were all things made and without him was not anything made that was made" (John 1, 1, 2). He said A week ago we considered the time when God was alone. Today let us discuss the first creative act as respects intelligent beings. Long before man was created, or our earth was brought from its chaotic condition long before angels and cherubim were created, Divine power brought forth a son on the spirit plane—Jehovah the first Begotten—glorious, perfect, beautiful his own image and likeness. This glorious time is in our text designated the Logos, the Word, the Message, the Expression of God. In the old Testament he is symbolically referred to as "Wisdom" in the words—Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way before his works of old. * * * Then I was by him, as on brought up with him, and I was dally his delight, rejoicing always before him" (Proverbs will 22.20) This might one personified as Wisdom, is declared by St Paul to be "the first born of all creation" (Christians 15-18). The Psalm similarly refers to him as Jesus' firstborn, high or than the kings of earth (Psalm xxxix, 27). Jesus thus refers to him self as one who had a prehuman existence, saving "Before Abraham was I am" (John vill, 14, 26, 42-58). The glorified, ascribed Christ, in Apocalyptic vision, declared the same great truth, that he was "the beginning of the creation of God" (Revelation 1, 14). And again he declared, "I am the first and the Last" (Rev 1, 17, 8). All of these Scriptures fully corroborate the statement of our text that he who subsequently beame the world's Redeemer was long before the primary Son of God. He ranked first, not only in seniority, but also in honor dignity and station, above all other sons of God, not one of whom was like him self—the direct creation of Jehovah "For all things were made by the Lords, and without him was not one thing made that was made." He was not the creator in the primary sense of the word, but in the secondary sense. He was the active agent of Jehovah in all of his subsequent creative work, thus he was not only the first-born of all creation, but individually, he was also the last of Jehovah's creation. To this agree the word of St. Paul, "All things are of the Father and all things are by the Son." Surely many have failed to appreciate not only the Divine personality of Jehovah, but also the greatness of him who is styled "The Son of God." In the Dark Ages. There was a time when God's people did not possess the Bible in their own language, and when education to read it was extremely limited, and when nobody possessed such wonderful Bibles (with references and concordances) as are common today. It should not surprise us that in that far-future confusing errors crept into traditional faith of the Church. The contention of the Jews was that Jesus of Nazareth was an impostor and the his mighty works were done under the influence of the fallen angel. It erubbed. So we think it strang that in the last of discussion some the follower of Jesus would in fact tracing it up for him in the deaver to oppose the theory that mod of Messiah a mere foolish man? It does not surprise us therefore that early in the third century claim were put forward in the name of Christ and his Apostles with another he nor they ever authorized. The Apostles declared him to be the Son of God with power" and that he was holy, harms, undoled and sapure from sinners. He threw all 250 The Master himself declared "My Father is greater than I." "He is above all" he sent me "I came to do the will of my Father in heaven and not mine own will." "I delight to do thy oh my God thy law is written in my heart." True, he also declared, "I and my Father are one," but he showed in what this oneness consisted that it was a oneness of will, of purpose, of work Because he had fully submitted his will to the Father's will and had made the Father's will his own, there fore they were one The Master again illustrated this sineness when he prayed for his disciples that "they all might be one even as those Father and I are one (John xxll. 11.21.22). Evidently the Master did not pray that his disciples should all become one in person, but that they should all become of one mind, of one heart, of one disposition through their loyalty and obedience to the Word and to the spirit of God And this oneness, he declared, was the kind which subsisted between the Heavenly Father and himself. ADVERTISE IN THE AGE Leaving the simplicity of the teachings of Jesus and of the Apostles, some went to the extreme of declaring that Jesus was his own Father; that the terms Father, Son and holy Spirit all applied to one person who manifested himself to mankind in three different ways corresponding to these names—one God in three manifestations. Others took a still different view and claimed that the Father, Son and holy Spirit were three Gods who operated as ones. In proportion as these unscriptural human theories were received, they produced confusion. And when asked how three persons could logically be one person, and how one person could be three persons equal in glory and power, of course no answer could be given. Then the subterfuge was raised. "This is a great mystery which nobody can explain." It should not surprise us from what we know of the structure of human nature that these extreme views were opposed by officers of the opposite extremes, some claiming that Jesus was a mere man; that he was born as are other men; that Joseph was his father, etc. Thus we behold the danger of any variation whatever from the precise teachings of the Word of God. It should be needless to say to Bible Students that there is nothing in the Bible which declares a trinity of Gods. There is just one passage of Scripture quoted in proof of the Trinity (I John, v. 7), and it is never quoted by scholars, because all scholars know that it was tampered with, several words having been added in the seventh century which are not found in any New Testament manuscript of earlier date. And those added words make the statement as a whole foolish. If you will turn in your Bibles to this passage, you may strike out the spurious words as follows in verse seven: "In heaven the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one;" and in verse eight the words, "and there are three that bear witness in earth." After thus eliminating the spurious additions, after thus removing from the preexist ointment this dead fly of falsehood which was inserted for the very purpose of deceiving, and be cause no Scripture could be found to give color to the doctrine of the trinity; then you will be able to read that portion of the Word of God in its purity and simplicity. Then the "mystery" part will be gone from it for ever. It will be in full accord with the entire Bible in declaring, "To us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things and we by him" (I Corinthians, vll. 6). How absurely the passage reads in our common version, stating that the Father and the Son and the holy Spirit are bearing witness in heaven that Jesus is the Son of God! The pure Word of God presents simply and beautifully the fact that the great Creator, the Father of all merries, is Jobovah God, and that he has an only begotten Son who is yet to be the Savior or Deliverer of all of Adam's race willing to accept the grace of God provided in him. And there is one holy Spirit, "the spirit of truth" "the spirit of wisdom" "the spirit of a sound mind" the spirit of power, energy, will, mind of the Father —which is also the spirit of the Son, and which must be also the spirit, disposition, mind, will of all those who now come unto the Father as sons through the adoption which is in Christ Jesus. The Only Begotten Honored. The Only Begotten Honored. Before the beginning of the creation of God, before the Only Begotten of the Father became the Alpha of Creation the Father had wonderful purposes in himself respecting all his great plan for the everlasting future. It included this world, and mankind, and the permission of sin, and the redemption of man from sin and its penalty and the restoration to be accomplished by Messiah's Kingdom and the glorious work of eternity in further creations in world after world But, as the Master declared, these things the Father had kept in his own power in his own hand. He divulged them not to the angels, nor even to his dearly beloved "only begotten Son." We have seen how this Divine secret, Divine purpose, was symbolically represented in the scroll in the hands of Jehovah as pictured in Revelation v. 1. We have seen that this revelation was delivered to the Lamb, the Only Begotten One, after he had been slain after his consecration at Jordan, and in its fulness after his death at Calvary, when he ascended up on high, glorified at the right hand of the Father's majesty. But before the Logos was made flesh, before he undertook to be man's Redeemer the Heavenly Father set before him the glorious proposition He informed him that he had a plan, a scroll and that the execution thereof was to be given to one who would prove himself worthy, by demonstrating his loyalty to the Divine will. We read that God sent his only begetten Son into the world, but we are not to understand from this that he came under Divine commands, the refusal of which would have meant Divine displeasure and his own degradation. On the contrary, we understand the matter clearly when we hearten to the Apostle's statement. He declares that Messiah left the glory, which he had with the Father before the world was, and humbled himself to take upon himself man's form and then consecrated himself even unto death all because of the joy that the Father had set before him. The joy set before the Logos was (1) That thus he might serve the Heavenly Father's gracious purpose. (2) That he might recover mankind from the state of sin and death into which all were plunged by father 'Man's one act of disobedience. (3) Additionally he was promised the honor and distinction of the Mestianic Kingdom by and through which mankind would be blessed and uplifted. (4) He was promised a special Bride class to be selected from among the redeemed race of men-u-ace having his own disposition of loyalty to God and to righteousness, and faithful unto death—which like himself, would be exalted in the chief resurrection from the earthly to heavenly condition, far above principalities and powers and every name that is named. (5) He was promised that his own personal distinction would be to all eternity a participation in the qualities of the divine nature; he would possess, not only glory and honor, but also inherent life, deathlessness, immortality. For these joys, he left his glory, he was made flesh, he sacrificed his earthly life and, being raised from the dead, he entered into his promised joy. Since, he is waiting in expectation for the completion of the Church, his Bride, the members of his Body, assured that then the Father will give him the heathen for an inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession, that he may bind Satan, put down sin and uplift the stinner and bring everlasting order out of earth's confusion by destroying the wilfully wicked. A God but Not the God. As all Bible scholars know, the word elohim in the Old Testament Hebrew is of plural form, somewhat like our English word sheep. Thus we read in Genesis, "The elohim (Gods) said, let us make man in our image." This would very properly apply to the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly Son, in full accord with our text. "Without him (the Logos) was not anything made that was made." The word elohim signifies, literally, the mighty, the powerful, the great. Surely it would be strictly proper to consider the Logos mighty, great, powerful as the active agent of the Almighty One, Jehovah, who is also styled the Mighty Elohim. This word *elohim* not only is used in respect to the Heavenly Father and his Heavenly Son, but it is also used in respect to angels as the messengers of God and of Christ, mighty to the doing of the will of God (Psalm vll. 51, "Thou hast made man a little lower than the angels (elohim)" Still further notice that this word elohim is used in respect to men; when Divinely appolated and active as God's agents they were mighty, or elohim. Thus we read of the seventy judges of Israel appointed by Moses, "The master shall bring him unto the judges (elohim)" (Exodus xxl. 6). We have given a very literal rendering of our text, showing the fine distinction of the Greek original in a way that our English version does not show it. As Bible students we have not in the past been sufficiently critical in our study of God's Word, but now, in Divine providence, it is possible for those even who have practically no knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew to understand the Scripture presentations thoroughly. If any amongst my large congregation are unsuccessful in finding authoritative works that show the interpolations and mistranslations of the Holy Scriptures, I shall be pleased to have them write to me for information. Our text in the common English version misrepresents the true thought of the original, but as we have rendered it the matter is so simple and clear that a child may understand. Jehovah God is from everlasting to everlasting and had no beginning. The Logos had a beginning—he himself was the beginning. "In the beginning was the Logos and the Logos was a God"—he was a mighty one, the beginning of creation, the first and the last creation of the God, the Almighty One—"of whom, by whom and through whom are all things." All honor and majesty and worship belong primarily to the great Father of lights and to him Jesus directed the attention of his followers, saying, "After this manner pray ye—Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." It is always therefore eminently proper in the highest sense of the word that our petitions should ascend to "the Father of Lights, from whom cometh every good and every perfect gift." It has pleased the Father to so honor his First Begotten Son, and to so reward his faithfulness unto death, and to so make him the Head in all things over the Church which is his Body, that it is eminently proper that, in the language of the Master, "All men should honor the Son even as they honor the Father" (John v. 23). They should not honor the Son instead of the Father, however, for the latter de clares, "My glory will I not give to another." The exalted Christ is to be honored, yes, worshiped, because the Father has highly exalted him and given him a name above every other name, that at name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 11. 8-11). Moreover there is a special reason why all who recognize Jesus as the world's Redeemer should recognize the propriety of including him with the Father in their thoughts and in their prayers. This is because, by Divine appointment, he is the Church's Advocate with the Father—the One through whom we are acceptable to God, even the Father. How could we, therefore, ignore our Advocate, our Attorney, our Intercessor? And with the world in the future, throughout Messiah's reign, this will be equally proper, because then he will be the world's Mediator, standing between God and men, until by his Mediatorial Kingdom he shall have lifted mankind from sin and degradation and death, back to actual justification and harmony with God. COMPARE LOT OF COLORED WOMAN (Continued from Page 1) and a reliable list kept on hand. Sometimes the agent to whom the girl is coming is a procurer for disorderly houses and she must be rescued from the house. She must be bagged, keep her in bondage, and let her out to work as it were, and she must have a strong friend to free her. Later the matron must place her in touch with good amusements, and in this she has to compete with scores of worthless well-dressed young men, who can earn easy money, that they may wear fine clothes, such as dazzle their unaccustomed eyes. Matrons placed at the ports mentioned do not give a complete system or protection. Exploiter, to evade the danger, bagged, leave other ports and arrive at Wilmington or Alexandria, or come by train. To really establish a system of complete protection which will checkmate the exploitation, matrons are easily needed at Richmond, Savannah, and Wilmington. Many of the girls leave Washington, really and correctly, and we can be done by a matron in the station there. Local Association at Memphis The effort previous) made by the National League to reach conditions in the Mississippi Valley has resulted this last year in the formation of a local association at Memphis and the appointment of a worker to meet the larger numbers of colored women who come to the city on excursions, either to see the world a little and return home, or to seek permanent employment, and who are exposed to various temptations and deceptions. In addition to strengthening the work at the points already covered there is great need of establishing it at many other cities, such as Wilmington, Del, and Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Cincinnati, and also of improving conditions on board boats. The quarters in the ship's instance are unavailable, in others there are no stewardesses and cabinets are frequent often, if conditions were reported directly to officials of the company, they would be remedied and the journey made much safer. The matter of the West Indian colored women requires attention. The numbers are increasing and while there are increases to look after the men in the ship, they cannot be set adrift in New York City. This in general is the work which the National League for the Protection of Civil War wishes to keep up to develop, and put upon a strong basis. It is of national of protection and industrial and increases the way. The league was established in 1906 in its boiler offices at No. 41 West Twelfth Street.

NORTH CAROLINA REFORM SCHOOL Leading Negroes of Tar Heel State Organize New Institution and Will Ask Legislature for Aid. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Greensboro, N. C., January 19 — The leading colored men of the State of North Carolina have taken another step to advance the cause of the race. The legislative session at Raleigh will be called upon to make an appropriation for the support of a reform school for the colored boys and girls of North Carolina. Two years ago a charter was granted the Foulks Reformatory with headquarters at Greensboro which provides for action by the legislature towards supporting the reformatory. So far the Foulks Reformatory has not been satisfied. Nannie Foulk, a colored servant employed by Mr. Fuller of the American Tobacco Company, remains in trust. Loading citizens of both rucs have pledged to contribute to the movement and already substantial subscriptions and some money have been secured. The following officers and directors were selected some time ago George Clement, president, Rev P. J Anderson, R. P. Secretary, Oscar Jackson, assistant secretary, Dr A A Wyche, treasurer; C H Watson, manager and financial agent; J T Sanders, counsellor Directors, Bishop George W Clinton, Bishop A J Warner, Dr H L.

Springfield Deacon Realigns Sexual: Correspondence of The Age Springfield, Mass., January 11.--The annual business meeting of the Third Baptist Church was held last Thursday evening in the vestry of the Church. Reports of officers were heard. The report of the finance committee shows the year just past to have been quite financially in the history of the church. At this meeting the resignation of Deacon Alexander Hughes was tendered and accepted after a good deal of talk and persuasion on the part of those present in an effort to induce Mr. Hughes to reconsider his resignation. Mr. Hughes' term as deacon has been a long and faithful one, having twenty-five consecutive years. It constant loyalty and material help to an organization count, then ex-deacon Hughes stands out in bold relief and PHILIP A.

ADVERTISE IN THE AG THEATRICAL COMMENT THAT the members of the colored theatrical profession play an important part in bringing about friendlier relations and a better understanding between the two races in the United States and that the department of the well-behaved, discreet colored Thespian acts as a powerful antidote for race prejudice, are expressions of opinion I have often made. Last week the members of McCabe's Georgia Troubadours were parties to an incident which has strengthened my convictions relative to the influence wielded by the colored performer. The company has been touring Missouri for several weeks with great success. Manager McCabe showed some reluctance in booking his attraction to play two nights in an interior town which does not boast of any colored inhabitants, according to the lastest census returns. He learned that the absence of the ebony-hued brother from this Missouri town was not due to any boycott that had been declared against the place by the colored people, but because of the disinclination of the white citizens to present a mixed population Greeted by Hoots and Groans. Despite the rumors that in the town several signs stood out in bold relief in which suggestions were made to all colored courtesies not to tarry a second later than the setting of the sun in the Golden West, the Georgia Troubadours invaded the corporate limits of town but with fear and trembling. Onkers thought that this involuntary shaking of the actor folk was due to the frigid atmosphere, but the visitors knew that fright was the cause of it all. Upon alighting from the train the troupers were accorded a reception, but not on the order of the one given Theodore Roosevelt upon his return from abroad. They were greeted by hooks and groans, and on every hand insinuations were made that the performers would show marked judgment by not remaining in the town over night. A number of hotels were visited, but at each establishment the would-be guests were informed that the hostelery was crowded and that it was utterly impossible to accommodate additional guests. Tired and hungry the members of the company wended their way to the theatre and prepared for the evening's performance. At the rise of the curtain the house was comfortably filled, and from the audience oh's and ah's punctured the atmosphere. It was not many minutes, however, before the playgoers became so deeply interested in the performance that they forgot their prejudice and were applauding vigorously. Citizens Regretged to See Them Leave. After the performance the manager of one of the hotels, who had been in the house, called on Manager McCabe and informed him that several who had written for accommodations had not put in their appearance, and that he thought he would be able to give the members of the show board and lodging during the remainder of their stay in the town. The offer was promptly accepted The next day the performers were treated more cordially by the townsmen, and the Georgia Troubadours played to standing room that evening. When the company was leaving the place the male members of the organization were accosted by such declarations of friendship as, "Boys, you are at right," "We want you were playing here a week," and "Come home again." When the show people left town the white citizens possessed a higher estimate of the colored man and his capabilities, and had a warmer spot in their heart for him than forty-eight hours before. Minstrel Man Disgraces Profession While the Down in Dixie Minstrels were playing a week's engagement at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C. recently, an incident occurred that his graced the theatrical profession and called for many explanations and apologies. Let the colored performer member that it is also his duty to make a good impression among the colored people of this country, and that his conduct is a matter of much consequence. At one of the evening performances given by the minstrels, the wife of one of the prominent colored residents of the Capital City, and who stands high in his profession, gave a box party, which was attended by several of her female friends. One of the members of the show appeared during the oloh in an act which was enjoyed by the ladies in the box, and in particular the hostess, who was profuse in her aplaus. This conceived performer mistook the plaudits of the lady, assuming that the applause meant personal attention instead of a recognition of merit. During the remainder of the performance he directed most of his glances in the direction of the box, but the occupants did not regard his actions seriously. Booletty Woman Shows Rosentment. About twenty minutes later the ladies were shocked when the same performer entered their box without invitation, took a seat and made an attempt to hold a conversation with the hostess of the party. As soon as she gained her company she received her retentition ordering the insulting individual from her presence. Next day the manager of the theatre was visited by the husband of the prominent society dame who had been insulted. The obnoxious actions of the ministrel man was related, and an inquiry was made as to whether the policy of the theatre was to allow the female patrons to be abused and mistreated by insolent male performers. The complaint was promptly put before the manager of Down in Dixie City, who summarily summoned the guilty party. Biology was made and the matter dropped. MUSIC AND THE STAGE EDITED BY The managers of the various shows should get together and agree to discharge any person who conducts himself so unbecomingly and in such an unprofessional manner, even if he is a star. Such people, the face of the race, in fact, more so, as the members of the Georgia Troubadours and many other organizations do good. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. HIS HONOR.

The members of the company spent Christmas at Palmyra Mo., and to aid in the painful blessings of the day the weather was beautiful.

H. Dudley. Althorne Jr. was in the columns of LTU. For six months ago that that S. H. Dudley and Aida Overton AIDA OVERTON WALKER Walker would appear next season as to star in a musical show, there has been some misapprehension of late regarding the probable alliance, owing to the inability of all concerned to come to an agreement After a long conference last Thurs. day evening, however the well-known soubrette was submitted terms which were agreeable to her, and the contracts were signed NEW SHOW GOING SOME. Do My Lord Leave from Dove Company of which I Louise Hill is the star played Martin City the first part of the week, the daily papers speaking highly of the show The Dark Past comments as follow: Last week of the Apollo saw Lennard Hill as a star in his own vehicle. My Friend from Hike* for a number of seasons Hill has been with Williams and Walker and Fraser as a character comeback but a producer as well. His new offering follows the line and the general run of this style of show, but things closely to the American Negro where many other past plays of this type are sorted to Art in Zulu, Haiti and more. Lists in the show among them being "Him Jackson Lee" song by Hill and Melissa Candy by Will Brown. The music is by Will Hodys for years director of this class of show. Many white successes are using Vodys music unlike different names. The Time Plan is the many. There is a large company among which are Brown and Shel- ton, who have a decided chance for Williams and Walker's place, Leona Marshall, Louis Mitchell and Manile Butler, who was here last season with Cole and Johnson. There is every reason to believe that "M" friend from Dixie will be there. Mitchell will show the many moons. It will be repeated again Tuesday and Wednesday with daily matinees. "DEACON" JOHNSON SUES. Sutt has been brought by Frederick W. Johnson, a colored musician, better known as Deacon "Johnson" against the threat of a federal crackdown on $775 for breach of contract, because he 1 "DEACON" JOHNSON and his colored male quartet were put out of the hotel. The defense is that the hotel has many Southerners as patrons who objected to the colored musicians and that for that reason the quartet injured business MINSTRELS IDLE IN "PHILLY." The Down in Drive Minstrels are in Philadelphia this week, but they are not filling a theatrical engagement. The numbers of the company have been in the Quaker City since Thursday of last week, and it is said that they could not leave at it they so desired, walking not being in style at this time of the year.

NEGRO DANCE IN PARIS Society in Paris has a terpsichorean novelty. It is a dance called the "Argentine Largo," the inspiration of which has come here by way of South America from the Negro communities of the United States. Its chatham is described as that of the take dance played by elders. There is a combination of exposition and a slow languorous melody which it said to be particularly fascinating. French society seems to be going wild over it.

Takes Issue With Coach Roberts. the personal experience of the 45. I am the coach with the team, and an article in recent issue of your valuable paper subject "Review of the Football Season," by Head Coach Chua E. Roberts of Lincoln University. In commenting on the article I desire to say, first of all that I am a stanch believe not only in hard clean, modern athletics, but in fair play as well. I do not mean to accuse Coach Roberts of unfair tactics, but I am compelled to believe that the team's football lore did not receive a correct estimate of the ability of some men on some of the teams I know. Now, all the men whom the coach mentioned have an indisputable right to be so kindly spoken of, but since he endevours to make a rating of all men worthy of honor in all the colored colleges, think it is unfair in the middle of Lawrence M. Cheek, captain of the football team of 1910. Shaw University, and than him a more gallant defensive end and a more intruded one at offense never denoted a football uniform. His playing against the mighty Tyson of Howard was one of the features of the game, this together with his showing in previous and subsequent games, thinks him one of the most formidable swat as capable candidates for first All-American end in the business. In addition to Capt Cheek, Shaw can proudly boast of another piece of valuable football timber. in the person of Joseph Brown her lightning fullback of the game as one of the hardest, cleanest, headiest and most consistent players that the season has produced. He was a tower of strength to Shaw's back field, and whenever he was called upon to carry the ball, his running game was decisive, was were the marvel of the spectators. I admit that Shaw's team this season was not up to its usual standard, but the two men whose names appear above, were the outstanding stars in every contest, and certainly are, beyond honorable mention.

PHILIP'S NEW STRUCTURE Handsome Edifice Being Built in 134th Street by Wakeman & Miller at a Cost of $200,000. About five years ago the Negro population of Manhattan began to move to Harlem. At this time the colored citizens are invading that section of the city in such large proportions as to excite comment among the whites. The rector and members of St Philip's Church had the foresight a few years ago to see that Harlem was the coming Negro settlement, and upon selling their property in Twenty-fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, purchased property in 133d and 134th streets, near Seventh avenue The church building is now in course of erection, and will cost $200,000. The builders say that the new structure will be one of the finest in the country, of the one hundred thousand Negroes of Greater New York are settled between 125th and 140th streets West. False or true, the statement will arouse much interest in the minds of some. It is a question of segregating the Negro, if so, it must be admitted that circumstances are solely responsible for it. Rush Started With Completion of Subway. The rush of colored settlers into Harlem, commenced with the completion of the subway and improvement of other local traffic lines that made it as convenient for them to live in Harlem than in the rest of the city, so that they be nearer these distant points. The fact that they selected Harlem as a home is what causes us to look for the advantages or disadvantages of their choice. If we are right in supposing that the location of the Negro is on trial in this case and may yet throw light upon the discussion of that important question, let us consider some of the grounds upon which protest may or may not eventually be made. Property rights are all pretty well established, and personal rights are left out of the question altogether; so far as we can see the matter resolves itself in discussion of the business a rest of the Negro. own distinctly ner like it to him. at one of his own perform- ers until he becomes a show himself to his unsympathetic neighbors Standing runs in his moving picture theatre Road more luxury and are in payment to him than a loot seat in the Metropolitan Opera House would be to many. Conditions Under Which He Lives. The conditions under which the Negro is living in Harlem (regardless of cost) cannot be said to be the worse. One can hardly find fault with voluntary segregation of intelligent Negroes who, although might displease or disturb the selfish it will be hard to refute the unanswerable argument that the coming together of Negro business men of intelligence and training in any large city for the purpose of serving their own people would not be for the best interest of the race good of the country and community. The New York Evening Journal, speaking editorially in its issue of November 30, 1910, in a defence of the "Negro's Rights," said that probably the plan to compel a hundred thousand colored people in Baltimore to live all together in one neighborhood could not legally be enforced. DEATHBLQW TO PEONAGE SYSTEM (options from Page 1) ful of the blue devils of dejection "Frederick, Frederick, is God dead." God is not dead in Alabama. Whereas, the law was made for southern white men, it was also Bounded and ruined by them. It was the Southern who first saw its fallacy, Southern lawyers, Messers Ball, Watts and Harr fought it to a decision and southern money stood whatever expenditure was necessary to defray expenses. As far as is known no Negro figured in the case one way or the other save Alonzo Bailey, the output. More than this Bailey himself is very little concerned, for at this writing he knows not nor care, that he is famous, that his name shall go down on the Nations books as one whose misdemean or affected a blessing and protection for many. Serenely at large he was when last heard from slinging hash oil, caring not which way the winds of the earth robbed him not of his good manliness and freedom to break contracts when ever he listed. So much the more credit to those who fought the case, many of whom suffered political beheadings and social ostracism.

Zlon Church was occupied for ten days ending Sunday, by the "Pentacostal Mission (white). Mrs. Ida B. Amos delivered an address at a meeting of the Woman's Association School. Spencer byterian Church in New York City on Tuesday afternoon, January 17. Miss Flossy Jones, of Charleston- ville, VA., spent the holidays with Mrs. Omstead of Hamilton avenue. During her stay she was entertained by several of Paterson's distinguished colored families. A similar meeting of the New En- terprise Realty Co. was held in the col- ored Men's Association Hall on Wed- nesday evening. The company is do- ing a fine business in buying up real estate, and is the business managed by colored men in which all of the col- ored persons in Paterson ought to own a share, as we see by its accomplish- ments. The Colored Men's Association Hall at 157 Governor street is being well patronized by our people and although its men's amusement room is equipped with reading matter, games and two pool tables, it cannot furnish amu- sements for all, and soon another pool table and a shuffle board will be added. Baths may be taken any time, but to 12.30 any day, excluding Sunday. A hearty welcome is extended to all to attend the Bible school of the St. Augustine Presbyterian Church at $3.30 p.m. 4:30; choral class included. 19 Government High, conducted by Prof. Pervis of Newark.
