FARMERS MEET AT TUSKEGEE
Three States Represented at Twentieth Annual Conference OVER 2,000 PRESENT Negroes of Alabama Are Now paying Taxes on Property Valued at $20,000,000
Booker T. Washington Advises Farmers to
Till Ground on More Sci-ntific Basis
Report of Committee.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
Insidege, Ala. Jan 24--At the Twentieth Annual Negro Farmers Conference, held here last week, nearly two thousand farmers from Alabama Georgia and Mississippi were present besides a large number of distinguished white and colored visitors, including many college presidents and principals of schools.
In the report of the Committee on Declarations, the statement was made that twenty years ago the Negroes owned property valued at $5,000,000, while the present value of their realty holdings amounts to $20,000,000.
The report of the committee, which was presented by Prof Joseph Wiley of Fessenden Academy, Fla. was as follows
The twenty years of effort through these conferences have accomplished much. As a result a large number of our people are out of debt our teachers and ministers and we are raising thousand of dollars each year to build school houses and lengthen school terms. (In one county of Alabama the people have, during the past five years, over $22,000 to improve their schools; more thoroughly; a large number of Negroes now own farms and other property. In the state of Alabama twenty years ago we were paying taxes on about $5,000,000 property and paying taxes on over $26,000,000 worth of property. There is, however, much that yet needs to be done. We therefore say to the people Continue to build school houses and lengthen school terms; ministers are required to ministers are required to buy land, improve your homes.
Intemperance is still one of the greatest evils that beats us. The largest per centage of the crime committed by our race is due to strong drink. We say to the peopletwo from fraternity to the toxicants. We especially urge our leaders to do all in their power to combat this evil. Prohibition has been a great blessing to our race. We say to the people. Cooperate in every way with the offenders, seeing that the prohibition law is enforced. To the farmers we say Prepare to meet the holl weevil by improving your methods of cotton raising, also raise more corn, peas, peanuts, potatoes, wheat, oats, catnips, poultry and have a garden. We encourage our farmers to these commodities, not only to supply your needs, but to sell
We learn that some of the white planters in a few counties of Alabama, in order that their tenants may be taught improved methods of farming are co-operating with the financial aid of the agricultural demonstration work which the States Department of Agriculture is doing among Negro farmers. We welcome this recognition by the white planters of the common interest which both races have in the provision of Negro farmers throughout the South. We believe that if this sort of co-operation could be made general great good would result to all the people of the South and mutual helpfulness between the races greatly promoted. The conference, therefore, appeals to the planters of the South for their assistance that through agricultural demonstration agents and other means, Negro farmers may have the benefit of the education which the United States demonstration work offers. We believe that in this way will it be possible successfully withstand the rages of the well-land and present the permanent influence of farm life which might follow. Address of Booker T. Washington Dr. Booker T. Washington opened the conference Wednesday with a speech in which he urged the Negro farm to strive for better methods of cultivating the land.
He said. Colored farmers throughout the Southern States and especially those in the cotton raising States might as well understand from now on that the old methods are passing away and new ones are to take their places. I refer especially to the old habit of mortgaging the crop, animals, etc for the money on which to live. The wheat the crop is being raised. The Negro in the South has been free for more than forty five years, and it ought not to be necessary much longer for any proportion of these col-
ored farmers to be treated as though they were children instead of men. But to speak plainly, the people whether they are bankers or merchants or landholders, who have been carrying the Negro farmer by the old mortgage system, are sick and tired of that method of doing business. It has proved in the highest degree too expensive to the banker, to the merchant, to the landholder. There is no more difficult problem to solve than that which faces the owner of land in Alabama, when a farmer comes to him to rent his land, but is absolutely empty-handed, practically naked, has no horse or mule, has no farming implements, no food upon which to live a single month and is without even proper clothing for himself and his children. Such a man has no credit in his community. Under these circumstances, the landholder must find a way to furnish this farmer with the necessities of life for a year or he must let his land go unoccupied.
Should Be Thrifty.
I repeat that the time has come when the Negro farmer should be so thrifty so industrious, so full-handed that he can live for a year or longer without having to go to somebody to supply him with food, clothing, animals and implements to be used while he is making his year's crop.
"It the Negro farmer does not have enough during one year to support him during the coming year the South will soon begin to look about for a class of farmers who will save enough to enable them to live during the following year without having to be 'run' or advanced to. The old crop lien or mortgage system has proven disastrous and costly both to the white man and the black man and the only way to get rid of this system is for every colored farmer to be so industrious, so thrifty and saving that he will save enough out of this year's crop to live on during the next year without going into debt.
"To speak roughly one-fifth of the farming land in the Southern States is occupied or controlled by colored people. This means that, unless the Negro farmer gets as much out of this land as any other class of farmers can get out of their land, that in the same degree that they fail to do this, the South as a whole will be the poorer.
"There are some people in the South who do not realize that a system of dealing with the Negro which would succeed in slavery will not succeed in a state of freedom. In a state of slavery, farmers could be controlled in a way that they cannot be controlled in a period of freedom. During slavery the Negro had somebody to plan for him, but in freedom the Negro, in a large degree, has the responsibilities of planning for himself.
Negro Lacks Training.
"During slavery he had no home, no family, no children, nothing to educate him up to a system of responsibility, where he could take up and bear equally his share of the burden in the State. But even worse than this for his life of to-day he had no individual responsibilities. Poor as his clothes and his meals might have been, they were nevertheless prepared for him, and all he had to do was to rise and dress, or rise dressed, having but one garment, and sit down and eat. It was the same with all the tools and implements with which he had to work. They were ready to his hand and all he had to do, like the mule or horses he worked with, was to follow the course mapped out for him. I am very much afraid that the average American, and especially the average Southern man, does not appreciate the education involved in these little and apparently insignificant responsibilities. But it all comes painfully to the surface when the Negro is put out to manage his own affairs. It exhibits in a shocking degree how seriously in need the Negro is of the most common kind of training, that kind of training both on the farms and in the home which the average white man has inherited now for many generations. And so long as the Negro is weak in this regard, so long will every form of industry with which he is identified, and especially the farms, be retarded.
"In other words, this means that the Negro will be a poor farmer and, therefore, the South will be all the poorer because the Negro occupies such a large farming territory in the South, unless more attention is given by the States to educating and training the Negro farmers. In most of our Southern States, thousands of dollars are spent each year in agricultural colleges, instruct agricultural schools, farmer, institutes, lectures, and farming demonstration agents, but very little money is spent for the training of the Negro farmers in the same direction, some people seem to have the idea that the white farmers need all the training they can get in farmers institutes in agricultural schools, through lectures and otherwise, but the same class of people seem to feel that the Negro farmer is born into the world with so much natural intelligence that he can succeed in farming without any training whatever, without a single dollar spent for his education.
Negro Will Continue
"This is all a mistake and it is a shortsighted policy. No matter what is done, the Negro will continue for any number of years to occupy one-half of the land in the South, and unless the Negro gets the most out of this soil it is capable of producing, it means that the South will send its money to the West to purchase corn, to purchase pork, to purchase other necessities of life, which the Negro (Continued on Page 8)

WALTER L. COHEN NOW LOSES HIS FEDERAL JOB
Is Removed As Receiver of Public Lands in Louisiana
THE WORK OF HITCHCOCK
"Lily Whiteclim" Under the Present Administration Goes Merrily On Despite Warning of Last November.
Special to THE NEW YORK AUOR.
New Orleans, La, Jan 24 -The Associated Press dispatches of January 14 carry the following innocent news item
Washington, Jan 14. -Luck of sufficient business for two attorneys goes the request for the consolidation of the United States land office at New Orleans and Natchitoches, La., in accordance with an executive order just issued by the President. The consolidated office will be at Baton Rouge
Behind this wee paragraph is the story of the passing of another Negro federal office holder in the South Mr. Hitchcock, who has been the dispenser of most of the patronage in
WALTER L. COHEN
the South through Mr. Ballinger, who holds his position in the Cabinet through Mr. Hitchcock, has been assiduously striving for more than two years to get rid of the redoubtable Walter L. Cohen, of New Orleans.
Failing in one way or another, it was at last decided to get rid of Cohen by having Mr Ballinger recommend that the two land offices at New Orleans and Natchitoches be consolidated, the consolidated offices to be located where a Negro would be afraid to hold the place.
With Cohen's passing, no Negro will now hold a federal position in Louisiana.
The place held by Col James Lewis was abolished. The place held by A B Kennedy, as Receiver of Public Monies, was turned over to a white man, Kennedy being given a place as clerk in one of the offices in the Custom House. And now Cohen, who has successfully resisted the machinations of the "Lily Whites" of Louisiana, and the efforts of Postmaster General Hitchcock in the prosecution of his "Lily White" activities, is made to "walk the plank."
The removal of Negroes from federal offices in the South still goes merrily on.
MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS
Appropriation Bill, Passed by the House, Provides $60,000 for New 30,000 H.S. School Congressman Taylor of Ohio, Made Flight for Colored Institutions.
Special to The New York Age
Washington, D. C., Jan 24. -The District Appropriation bill has been passed by the House. Through the activities of Congressman E. L. Tayler of Ohio, the bill carries $155,000 more for the colored schools of the District than the Commissioners and Board of Education had estimated for.
The cramped condition of the M Street High School, and the poor and antiquated condition of the building has been a matter that has called for attention for years, but each year, the friends of higher education have seen their attempts to secure a better site and a better and more modern building fail.
This year, through the efforts of Congressman Taylor, $60,000 is appropriated for a new site for the M Street High School.
The original estimates, as prepared and presented to Congress by the District Commissioners called for an aggregate appropriation for sites, erection of buildings and repairs, of
$806,095 for whites and but $121,500, or 15 per cent. for colored.
Mr Taylor insisted on a square deal for the colored schools and as a result of his insistence the District Appropriation bill carries the following for the colored schools Armstrong Manual Training School, $12,000 instead of $10,000; Normal School No. 2, $75,000, Deanwood School, $24,000, School on Military road, $33,000, site for Manual Training School, $12,000, building on this site, $42,000, site for new M Street High School, $60,000, fire protection, repairs, etc, $12500, making a total of $273,500, or 33.5 per cent, as against $121,500, or 15 per cent estimated by the Commissioners.
It is needless to add that Congressman Taylor has the thanks and blessings of all the colored people in and out of Washington.
BROOKLYN SUMNER MEETING
Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback Delivers Principal Address - Meeting Was Largely Attended at Bethany Baptist Church
At the Bethany Baptist Church, Clermont avenue near Atlantic avenue, Thursday evening of last week a large and enthusiastic crowd gathered to pay tribute to the memory of Charles Summer. The program was arranged by John H. Smith, who had the cooperation of all the Republican caucus in the city of Brooklyn, Mr. Smith presided. In addition to the resolutions in the musical program, inspiring addresses were made by Fred R. Moore ex Gov Pinchback, and Dr William H. Hunter. The pastor of the church, Rev. R. Powell, was present, and contributed to the success of the affair. The address of Mr. Moore was particularly forceful and highly enjoyed by his admirers. The address to the country was read by Benjamin Williams. The committee in charge of the meeting included R. E Waddell, Joshua P. Lee, J D Nixon and Rev W. R. Lawton.
Ex-Gov P B. S Pinchback delivered the principal address of the evening and he was listened to with marked attention.
He said in part:
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
Mr. Charnam, Ladies and Gentlemen
"It is meet and proper for our people to celebrate the anniversary of the passing of Charles Sumner. He was our consistent and steadfast friend. He was more than that; he was the friend of all mankind, the champion of liberty and equality for all the down-trodden of every race and clime. The grandest character the American nation has produced.
"It is needless for me to attempt to give you a detailed account of his life and work. It is an open book. Every colored man, woman and child should be familiar with it. The fall of slavery, the emancipation and enfranchisement of the American Negro was his life work. In season and out of season, from his high place in the Senate of the United States, he hurled great thunderbolts of denunciation against the slave power in the South and their sympathies in the North and aroused the sleeping conscience of the nation and compelled it to see and realize the enormity of the crime of slavery. To Charles Sumner, more than any other man, not excepting the martyr President, Abraham Lincoln, and the great Frederick Douglass, and Phillips and Garrison, the credit is due for destroying slavery and the present unparalleled position of the race occupies in this country.
"Time will not permit me to particularize. It is enough to remind you that from a race of slaves we have become not only a race of freemen but of growing intelligence and increasing wealth and power—a race that in the near future will have to be reckoned with—according to their numbers the same as the other races composing our body politic in all the affairs of the nation.
"In the meantime it will be well for us to remember that in the new situation there is much, very much, for the race to do to enable it to hold its own in the fierce competition that envisions it.
"First of all, it must enlarge its intelligence. Next, increase its holdings and be steadfast in its integrity. It must learn the value of time and acquire the habit of promptness in small as well as large affairs.
"Last, but not least, it must learn to respect its own race and not be ashamed or afraid to work for its own people. No other race on earth is cursed with such abominable habit. If the race will do these things Mr. Sumner's labors in its behalf will not have been in vain and its future is secure
"To fully appreciate the services of Mr. Sumner we must remember that he was exceptionally scholarly, highly cultured and of eminent social standing; wealthy and occupying the high position of Senator of the United States, he gave his time and talents to the cause of humanity. From his lofty position he championed the course of the lowly and oppressed and paid the penalty of death for his unswerving devotion to the cause of freedom
"In common with the race, I shall ever rever his memory, and whenever in the future I hear the mention of his name I shall feel like acclaiming 'Hail and farewell' thou the purest of the pure, bravest of the brave, and greatest of the great!"
GRANTED A. REPRIEVE:

RAISE $67,000 FOR Y. M. C. A. BUILDING
Chicago Citizens Subscribe $17,000 More Than Requested
SUM RAISED IN SHORT TIME
Great Fathusiam Shown at Meeting When Final Report Was Read—Some of Those Deserving Special Mention.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Chicago, Ill., Jan 24—The Negroes of Chicago have achieved the greatest and most important undertaking in their history. After ten days of enthusiastic and unremitting effort they have more than met the conditions for the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building to cost not less than $150,000. People of both races are amazed at the unprecedented and really unexpected achievement. At the last meeting for the announcement of subscriptions obtained, the reports showed that the colored people had raised $67,000, or $17,000 more than was requested or expected of them
The final meeting of the fifteen captains with their teams at Odd Fellows' Hall will become historic on account of what was done. Many prominent citizens were present and eager to be a part of such an auspicious occasion.
Prominent white business men and their wives were also anxious to take part. Messages of congratulation comes from all parts of the country, including one from President Taft and another from Congressman Madden. The two prominent capitalists who had already subscribed $25,000 each were joined by Cyrus McCormick, who on that eventful Monday night mounted the platform and gave $25,000.
The young men who deserve special mention, their names being as follows J W Fisher, Charles A Griffin, F V Babb, E A. Lightfoot, A G F Sims, R B Glover, Charles H Days R C Kelly, Frank Tinsley, Henry F Thomas, W. H Terrell, Albert G Williams, G T Cannon, George E Duncan and T. J E Snowden
Citizens Committee Did Effective Work
Added to these fifteen teams was the Citizens' Committee, composed of nearly every prominent man in Chicago.
Some of the figures connected with the work are interesting, and show how wide-spread has been the interest in the movement. The $67,000 raised by the colored people was the result of nearly twelve thousand subscriptions. The average subscription for each subscriber was about $6.
The only $1,000 subscription received from a colored person was donated by Mr Tilghman When Mr Tilghman at the Sunday afternoon meeting made this announcement he was heartily cheered, and became one of the leading figures of the remarkable campaign.
After all the reports were read and the big aggregate of subscriptions realized, there was a perfect hallelujah of mutual greetings and enthusiasm. Addresses of congratulation and thanksgiving were made by all of the white Y M C A officials present, and by A. H. Roberts in behalf of the Citizens' Committee, Ben Johnson, the president, the captain of the teams and J E. Moreland, to whom more than to any other individual, belongs the credit for the remarkable achievement. He was at all times equal to every emergency. To his two assistants, Morris Lewis and Charles W. Pierce, great credit is also due.
An incident showing how strong was the spirit of fellowship engendered, was the hearty invitation given by the General Secretary, Mr. Messer, to all the captains and members
the Citizens Committee to be presi

litrum on Wednesday evening

"JIM CROW" LAW INVALIDATED.
Special to The New York Am
Frankfort, Ky. Jan 24—Inasmuch as sleeping cars owned by the Pullman Company are not operated by the railroads, the railway companies in Kentucky cannot be forced to furnish separate sleeping compartments for Negroes. This decision was handed down here several days ago by the Court of Appeals in a case against the Illinois Central Railroad Company. The case grew out of transporting a Pullman car to Kentucky on which a Negro from without the State was a passenger. This the court says, is with out the jurisdiction of the court. In the future according to the ruling the Negro can ride with whites in Pullmans, despite the "Jim Crow" laws.
FROM NEW YORK TO LIBERIA
Not enough attention has been attracted to the fact that a line of steamships has been established between West Africa and New York City. One can now take a ship in New York City and go directly to Montrovia Liberia. This marks a new epoch in the development of Liberia. All this development is largely due to the sending to Liberia of the American Commission, and the end is not yet. Dr R P Falkner is now in Liberia perfecting arrangements for the loan of a million and a half dollars to the Liberian government.

RACE ISSUE IN THE SENATE
Election of Senators by Popular Vote Brings Up Question
Senator Depew Says Proposition Means the Annulment of the Fourteenth Amendment,
DISFRANCHISEMENT SCHEME
Senator Carter Believes Southern Senators Are Trying to Have State Law Made Constitutional.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Washington, D.C., Jan 25—In connection with the resolution relating to the election of Senators by popular vote, the Negro issue has been raised by several Republican members of the Upper House, who have declared that the Fourteenth Amendment is in grave danger and there is a possibility of the state laws in the South disfranchising Negroes becoming constitutional. Senators Depew and Carter are two of the strongest opponents of the measure.
In assailing the resolution Senator Depew gave out the following statement:
"The joint resolution now before the senate for the election of United States senators by the people fixes the qualifications of electors to vote for United States senators in this language. 'The electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of state legislatures,' in other words, shall be fixed by the state legislature.
"The fourteenth amendment guaranteed to the Negroes the right to vote and the southern states, by various devices, have disfranchised them. Take Mississippi, for instance. With 1,800,000 people, it casts on an average, I think, from 60,000 to 80,000 votes only. Under this resolution, allowing, by constitutional amendment, the state to fix the qualifications of electors, it repeals the fourteenth amendment, which says that every citizen 21 years old, who has not committed a crime, shall be entitled to vote.
Qualification Should Be Uniform In Each State.
"My proposition is that the qualification of the electors for United States Senators and Congressmen shall be uniform in each state, and that congress shall make laws to see that the votes are properly registered and counted. When I offered this amendment to this same resolution in the committee on privileges and elections, six years ago, it was adopted by unanimous vote of the Republicans. Then the Democratic senators who had been vigorously, and with a good deal of temper advocating the Mann amendment said that if the Negroes were to be permitted to vote, they did not want the election of United States senators by the people, and would not have it. They killed the resolution
"As an indication of the change of sentiment in regard to this disfranchisement of Negroes in the south, I got only I vote besides my own to my amendment in committee the other day.
"Now it becomes one of the most interesting questions, wherein six years' sentiment has so changed that Republicans from Northern States are willing in order to get the election of senators by the people to practically repeal the fourteenth amendment and allow the states, by a constitutional provision, to disfranchise forever the Negro vote
"The south has been endeavoring, by various processes, to repeal the amendment. They have nullified it, but they always have been afraid that the supreme court of the United States might declare that nullification expediences were unconstitutional. "Now, under the guise of securing the election of United States senators by the people, they virtually secure an amendment to the constitution, under which, in their states, one-half or more of the people can be permanently disfranchised and denied the suffrage. In other words, the election of United States senators by the people means that some of the people shall not vote, and they will be barred by constitutional authority." Now Passively Submit to Unjust Laws.
Senator Carter in attacking the resolution charged the Southern Senators with a scheme to saddle constitutionally the disfranchisement of the Negro voters upon the county, and said in part "The occasion demands plain speech and forbids evasion. Certain Senators not content with the success obtained in suppressing the Negro vote through (Continued on Page 6)

He preached at 11 a.m. from this text and. . . and whatsoever he kept His commandments and did these things that are phasing in His sight. His subject "How to have faith in Power in Christian Life and Service." The real message is that we miss our way because it is not more difficult. If we would do more time to studying God's Word we would learn what he has said concerning His promise to us. He has said that even doubt God will willingness to answer our prayers, when the real cause is that we have failed to meet God's simple requirements. If we would have power with hearts and minds entirely free of our worldly love, must yield our entire ability to Him and surrender our will entirely to His divine will. In official prayer we seek to know what we can do, or what we can contact with the heart of God. The answer we get to God the more anxious we are, brings others to Him, and are eagerly seeking to know what can I do, or what God will give us. Do you know God com mandal? Do you try to know them will you study? Dr. Brooks through His work asked the preacher God will not withhold any things from those who keep His com mandal.

2lon Notes
The services at Mother Zion were well attended all day last Sunday. In the morning the pastor spoke from Colossians, lst chapter, 9th to 19th verses. His subject was, The Preeminence of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He emphasized the sovereignty of God, the power of God in invisible things. He showed that all kingdoms and principalities were created through Him, in order that they should serve Him, thereby glorifying God and sanctifying and making holy, man. Rev. Holdens sermons are a source of inspiration to all who hear him, as late as congregations prove. Prof S H Atkins of Winston-Salem, N. Additional secretary of our Church, worshiped with the choir ordered excellent music.
The Sunday School was largely attended. Rev Eato keeps up the enthusiasm among both teachers and scholars. Several new scholars joined. The J. C. Price Lyceum, under the efficient leadership of its president. Mr Justice, is forging its way to the front. Each Sunday theologian grows more interesting, the crowd increases. The committee, Mine M Johnson, President, is planning a surprise in the near future.
At the evening service the pastor spoke from the 24th chapter of Matthew. He talked about the signs of the return of our glorified Lord. He showed to the people that the unrest in the social thought of men was due to the influence of the Holy Ghost, who is turning the minds of the people from world idol of power and grudge to the Christ of the Kingdom of God, over which H.

Monday of this week Chief Edward E. Les of the United Colored Democracy, visited Albany, and ever since he got back his followers and everybody else have been talking about him. The Chief says that after a. while, when the Senatorship mess is settled, some more talk will be coming through. The Chief succeeded in having the following appointments made: Janitor of the Senate, William Crutcher, assistants, P. B. Bailley and William Himming. Janitor of the Assembly, George W Campbell, assistants, Sam George and Campbell Parker. The appointment of George W Campbell is credited to the 21st assembly district of which Ralph E. Langton, the Warwick of the colored democracy of Manhattan, is leader, and which is now the most important district in the city.

Begith Correspondence of Tus Ack.
Pittsburgh, Pa. Jan. 22. The withdrawal of the N.Y. members from the M. E Church as predicted by Dr. Lyons in a recent issue of The Ake has received its first impetus from the N.Y. community. Young man who recently received a license to preach and for a number of years a member of Warren M. E Church has wilt drawn and is pastor of an A M. E Zion Church, with a membership of 600. Mr Eddy is harsh in criticism race discrimination in his former church. He expresses much disapproval of the church. He has accepted such treatment so long. Negroes have paid $6,000 of the $12,000 subscribed to the Y. M. C. a fund. When the full amount is paid the central board will add $13,000 and erect a building to cost $25,000 for their use.

Gary, City of a Night.
Serious correspondence to the AGM.
Gary, Ind., January 24--Gary, the Magic City of the West, and the recognized rival of Pittsburgh in the production of steel, affords a great deal of employment for men of all races and creeds. At the mills the service of colored men is solicited and when the mills are running at full capacity number can find employment. Though the Negro is too often listless and careless the day of his inability to cope with the foreigner has not yet dawned. Among the professional and business men now in Gary are Dr. A. R. Arthur a respectable and able physician; Lawyers H. R. Alexander and H "S. S." Berrien Allen, tailor; U. L. Bansher, leading comon; and several others who are doing well. The coming spring promises to show a great influx of colored people to this city. "A New Year's Resolution" was the title of a play given at the Twelfth Street school last Wednesday night to a crowded house. The parts were well carried and each participant covered himself. Shirley Hamilton has returned to his home in Tennessee.
One of the best social affairs given among the colored people was given last Tuesday evening at the Social Club's club room in Washington street. The opening of the Social Club marked the initial progress of colored people in Gary. Rev Thomas Oglesby is acting pastor of the Baptist Church and in all probability will be chosen to fill the pulpit. The Dunbar Social Club, organized January 2, 1911, is to be Gary's most popular.

Atlantic City Notes
Regular Correspondence of the AGE
Atlantic City, Jan 25.—The mild mid-winter weather of the past week brought vast numbers to the show, spent Saturday and Sunday. The boardwalk resembled a day in early summer. Sunday the weather conditions were very unfavorable, which kept the visitors within doors. The presentation of Philadelphia was the cost of Dr. Leroy Morris of New York avenue Sunday last. Dr. Show visited the hotel office of the public and renewed old acquaintances throughout the city.
Fitzgerald's Auditorium Monday evening, January 10, was filled by the members and friends of St Augustine's and the reception given by Monitor Club. The president, Mrs. Richard Walker, presented as the special feature of the evening the famous shadow dance. The Communitarian Club furnished music for the occasion and the floor was in charge of Charles Smith. The Monitor Club is the most active in the parish.

T. Young, M. B. Glasgo, H. Daniels, M. Hardin of New York Mrs Purnell and Mr. J. G. Sparks. A New Year's party given at theuild hall of St Augustine Church, January 19, by Mrs. Gardner Pinkett was a novel and interesting entertainment. Refreshments were served to the audience and the affair was the means of bringing the guests together to work closer social relation with the vector and members of the church.
The committee appointed by Gov. Wilson of New Jersey to investigate the November elections in Atlantic City has started its work and the many sensations already that have been brought to light speak bad for those who have yet to face the largest and finest amusement place on the island, was filled to the doors Friday night last to attend the athletic carnival. Listed on the programme were over 30 events and 250 entrants. Society members in large numbers were out to applaud for our boys, as many of the high school starts were contesting for the valuable prizes. Ralph Deaver the note holder won a prize in the free-for-all mile relay race, in and many others received special mention. Mrs. Howard and daughter, Elizabeth, left for Charolletteville, Va.

clally severe on those who have no confidence in themselves or any one else. If they could not succeed they do not desire to see any one else successful. Lack of race pride was strongly condemned. His theme was "The Worlds Market and its Occupants." He said in part
and its Occupants." He said in part, "The sentiment for instruction, for thought and for pioneer leadership must come from the pulpit. The object of this instruction is not display of learning or pedantic language, but that we may think along lines uplifting one another. It is not necessary that your sun shine in my way or that my sun shine in your way, but let us work in co-operation, one with the other. To increase business thrift, to ascertain the percentage of business done among our people should be among those of the pulpit. We should encourage self-help, both business and professional, and wherever there is a man or woman of our race doing honest work, get behind him and push him. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" was the sentence God imposed upon the first man, and it holds good up to this day. Toll vigor, and strength, through which man has earned his bread ever since his fall, and it is no less required of the men and women of our race.
"God would have each one of us do our best in our respective sphere, he does not expect us to be leeches sucking the life blood from each other, but must provide us with the strength to bring the shoulders of others and are therefore drones or burdens in the community in which we live. God, through kindness and mercy, has fitted up this earth land with all that man needs for his comfort and maintenance and commanded us in the future to come," and he holds us responsible if we fail to bring out or cultivate the best there is in it, or bring out of the elements something to glorify him God is a partner in your business and furnishes the middle part. In whatever happens the mind or abilities to do business. It is God who supplies the gas mains and electric motors which light up our homes and cities by night. The earth has been tunnelled until sister cities have become one, but God furthers the need for us to enter into the other, but God furnished the air. Not only does he furnish the middle force, but the opportunity as well, therefore let us bend all of our energies to use them. Unless we support our business men and women we are gone. The world has thrown them away, and we must sink or swim, survive or perish. We must hold each other up
"A hungry man cannot pray, nor can a poor man give much, therefore the two must go together. There are different kinds of occupations, but each due the other a certain respect. You must be broad enough to honor every man or woman in his position and count them all as one body. Talk the business of our man and women up and not down. If you don't employ them, don't injure them. The pulpit must create a man or woman to play a man or woman because he or she is colored, but because they are capable, competent and efficient. Those of us of the same kith and klm must continue to grind at this mill until we shall have created a sentiment that will have to up to him up. Use your freedom as God would have you use it, for the wisest and best interest. There must be more union among ourselves, more friendship. There can be no permanent business without God. You may have to be a poor man and honest but don't lose sight of God, for he is a liberator. Business education and religion will solve any problem.
At the close of the service the Rev Dr. Moses was presented with a handsome loving cup from the business men and women by Counsellor W. W. Delarte. The collection amounted to $11 and $30 was raised for a Norfolk school, of which Dr. Moses is chairman of the Board of Trustees.

and discussion, and after an amendinent
offered by Senator Depew of New York
had repeatedly been voted down This
amendment, we are happy to note, has
, been revived by the New York Senator,
and was a few days ago the subject of
interesting speeches, addresses and ob-

remarks of Senator Carter, who pointed

Senators were made
Senator Depew's amendment provides
that in the election of Senators, afl cits
zens shall have equal right of suffrage.
‘The immediate and violent opposition
‘of Southern and Democratic Senators to
this proposition, it will readily be seen
and even as the Southern Senators
themselves admitted, was due to the
fact that under it the Southern colored
men, now disfranchised by the spirit and
operation, if not the letter of State laws,
would have the right of franchise in the
election of Feteral Senators. “I would
rather have no change,” Clarke of Ar
Kansas, is reported to have said, “than
to accept such an amendment” If we
were discussing the moral sscue rather

HALLS. AND BALLS.
Colored New York has the dancing
fever, and no moral doctor seems to
be able or desirous of curing it. More
balls, larger balls and sweller balls
are given in New York in any three
months of a year than are given in
any dozen cities in two years. Per.
haps we should admit that if any peo-
ple anywhere have the right to in-
dulge their appetite for mirth and
folly, they are New Yorkers, for they
are such dancers as no other com:
munity can claim [t is said that
dancing is an art. Maybe. But in
this mighty town it is a passion We
do not say “on with the dance,” but
we do say let sense for once be un-
confined.
Why is it, will some one, anyone.
tell us. why is it that the business
element among colored New Yorkers
does not turn the dancers and frolic
ers into an asset? Why is there no
attempt to provide the balls, prenics,
and receptions with a suitable ball-
room owned by our people? No great
amount of money is needed for such
a gurpnse, and the investment would
pay 100 per cent One-third of the
meney that was spent by the Metro-
poltan Company preparmg a build:
ing to virtually give away would put
the colored people of New York in
possession of a place of amusement
that would be in every sense accept
able.
We have in mind a place of amuse:
‘ment, a “casino” they call at, that 1s
supported almost entirely by colored
curgamzations Indeed, it is almost
a colored institution There 1s noth-
img gargeents about it, nothing super-
meting It as not even in the “heart

influence us to vote for New Orleans,
hut the larger anterests of the peo-
ple compel us to appase its selection

Mr Arrington, we trust, readily un-
derstands that in our opposition to the
selection of his city, we speak not
only for the progressive Negroes of
the North, but also and particularly
for the intelligent Negroes of the
South, who would rather take ther

‘THE ALONZO BAILEY CASE.
No decision handed down by the
Supreme Court of the United States
has meant more in all of its aspects
the colored people than that bearing
upon the Alonzo Bailey case.
This case was taken up through
the state courts. U. S. District Court
as well as the Circuit Court 0 the
Supreme Court It invalved the con:
stitutionality of the Alabama law
which permitted a person to be im:
prisoned or confined if he entered inte
2 contract of labor and ceased labor-
ing before he fulfitled the contract
The Supreme Court has declared this
law unconstitutional and Alonzo
Bailey has been set free
Tt seems curious, but nevertheless
it is a fact, that this decision comes
about’soon after the elevation of a
Southern Demorcat to the Chief Jus-
ticeshy» This certamly ts not a bad
beginning We are glid to note, too,
that Chic Justice Hughes rendered
the opinion
We hope our readers read carefully
the detailed account of this case which
we printed 1m our Last issue from our
correspondent at Montgomery, Ala,
where the proceedings originated
This case 1s nat only important be-
cause it affects the State of Alabama,
but because nearly every Southern
state has a similar law, and this de-
ersten on the part of the US Su-
preme Conrt knocks out all such un-
are laws
But the most encouraging element
‘in the Alonzo Batley case 1s in the
fact that Southern white men and
colored nun in Alabama worked to-
gether, secured the money and fought
this cace through all the courts until
this decision was secured We con
gratulate all the parties who have
worked for two or three years un-
reasingly sought to bring about jus-
tice by having the Alabama law de-
clared unconstitutional
We have not heard much talk about
tvs case, but the people in charge
of wt an the South have been quietly
standing by the case and doing the
actual work, instead of merely dis-
sieae a
-_ If this ia the kind of decisions that
the Supreme Court under Chief Jus
‘tice White are going to hand down,
the Negro race will be willing to
‘commend Mr Taft for appointing a
Southern Democrat to the Chief Jus-
‘ticeship rather than to condemn him
CONVERSION OF MR. BARKER
Mr J Ellis Barker, the eminent
English economist and writer, tells
an interesting story as to how he was
converted to respect and believe m
the American Negro
He says that he came to America
4 few months ago prejudiced in the
highest degree against the Negro, that
he thought he amounted to nothing,
dul not believe in him and had no
respect for him Soon after commg
into this country, however, he stopped
at the Pennsylvania Depot in Wash-
ington ta take a meal He was wait-
ed upon by a neatly dressed and fine-
luokmg colored waiter He began
talking with this colored waiter To
his surprise he found he was intel-
ligent and cultured He talked with
“him further, and was still further
surprised to find that this colored
water was a man of education and
refinement.
With that start, Mr Barker sud
he hewan investieating for himsell
the condition of other colored peapl:
cand the mere he came ants vantied
with then, the mote he went ant
their houses, the more he went 10
ther churches, am fact, the more he
sw of them. the more Ihe begin te
Vike and respect them The re sn'
was within a few weeks he became
thorough convert
To-day there are few people in the
world who believe more thoroughly 1

American Negro than doce J Fils

the Grand United Order of Odd Fel-

officials of that organization, called

MUSICAL THERAPEUTICS
IN an interesting and instructive article on "Musical Therapeutics," the science which treats of the healing of diseases by means of melodious strains, Melville Charlton, the well-known concert organist and instructor of harmony, counterpoint and fuge, makes the assertion that when music is administered according to certain defined rules it proves an excellent remedy for those afflicted with different forms of diseases.
The article
Music is an evolved art. In an essay of this kind it is unnecessary to treat evolution in the most comprehensive sense. The world is it necessary to tell us that the nebular-hypothesis which assumes that all suns are orbiting the earth diffused but caused by what diffused but caused by what was produced or created by what was produced or created by what does not behave in the same way as or developed from the same form of life, and that it is the same ceary ran through the same range of animal life including the anthropoid ape, and that simply a step man became what he is. The history of music can be seen by the architecture and tradition of the literature. A very short sketch of the historical will prove that it was evolved, i.e. it was at first crude simple and homogeneous in character and that it afterwards became beautiful, complex and heterogeneous.
In prehistoric times there were no musical instruments. The music perceived was not simply the rhythmic beat of the human heart, but other natural manifestations were naturally felt by our prehistoric parents—the melancholy sighing of the wind through the trees (the wind frequently moans and screams a scale with intervals smaller than the intervals of our chromatic scale), the singing of birds, many of which emit series of tones, not only of beautiful quality, but of definite pitch and melodious in structure. Then there were wild animals that varied their vocal sounds according to their moods and can, to a limited degree, reason, even if they can't work out problems in mechanics or calculus. Human beings, even in those early days, felt sensations and emotions, and it is reasonable to presume that they emitted tones of pain or pleasure and cries of grief and joy.
The Development of Music.
Volumes could be written on the great efforts of the ancient peoples to develop music, but their efforts were crowned with little success. Even the Greeks, at a period when painting, sculpture and architecture had reached great heights, were listening to the most insignificant music. Music and musical instruments, after a slow process, finally attained a degree of perfection that we now know to be exemplified in modern instruments and in the masterpieces of Bach, Beethoven and Wagner.
Compare the simple music of the ancients with a music drama of Wagner, with its orchestra composed of many ancient instruments producing complex and wishing melodies, and one will be convinced that the evolution of music is proved by history. The last and most interesting stage in the evolution of music will be treated in a brief manner—the subject of musical therapeutics.
Therapeutics may be briefly defined as the science which treats of the healing of diseases, hence musical therapeutics is the science which treats of the healing of diseases by means of music. Musical therapeutics must not be put in the same category with that pseudo-science called Christian Science, which very frequently attempts to treat the most serious organic diseases with simply prayers, and so often sends prodigious tools to an early grave. Musical therapeutics should be based on superstition; if so, it should be crushed in its infancy. All superstition should be eradicated, even if it does masquerade as religion. Musical therapeutics, as any rational science should, deals with cause and effect. It is not intended that this science should take the place of medical science or surgery and attempt to perform a Caesarean operation. Neither does the musical therapeutists attempt to destroy, with a Basthevon sonnita, bacteria or germs, which cause the varicose veins, with a phlox fever, consumptions, and the other bacterial diseases. He knows that although music is no remedy for all complaints, it can at times be a powerful therapeutic agent.
Reputable medical doctors, psychologists and aliens in different parts of the world have found, after careful experiment, that music acts as an excellent therapeutic agent on the insane and those suffering with a disordered condition of the brain and nerves.
Two distinguished French aliens, Pinel and Esquiol, successfully conducted experiments with music as a healing agent.
Dr. Drapes, an Irish alienist, says "Nothing cheers the patients or helps them forget their troubles in an equal degree to music. It removes the cloud of deprivation, grief, confusion, excitement, and anxiety, ever, produces the alightest ill effect. The position of music in the treatment of the insane is and ought to be a high one."
Several Cases Cited
The following cases are selected from the Blackwell's island report of 1878
Case 1. Female. in asylum five years; chronic mania, prognosis bad, brought in violent. Beethoven's "Funeral March" played; patient quiet and smiled, but after two minutes became violent again. pulse 120, more "Funeral March," plantasimo patient quiet again; pulse 100. Lively music made her frantic and the pulse could not be counted; total change, from 150 to 60.
Case 2. Female. 35 years old. three years in asylum, chronic mania, prognosis bad; brought in with straight-jacket on; violent and using profane language; a Chopin nocturne played; result, stopped sweating and said sensibly; an Afrago of Beethoven; less

Case 8 A dement of long standing, who became quiet after the 'Rhapsoide Hongroise' was played. Experiments conducted on Ward's Island in 1900 revealed these facts. That music is a powerful agent in affecting the emotions of some of the insane, that melancholia seems to be best suited to this kind of therapy, since the attention of the patient can best be attended by sound alterations Observations (1) Pulse, respiration and body movements increased in many all cases (2) Bodily nutrition greatly improved in large numbers of cases, three fourths of cases were not imminent patients who
or some time."
It is to be remembered that musical therapists must be trained in teamwork with medical science and all other rational sciences, and that the musical treatment must be carefully adapted to individual cases. The same composition will affect different individuals in a dissimilar manner; one man is an another's man's poison. The effect of a given stimulus is, as Herbert Spencer says, largely dependent upon the structure and the condition of the structure of the individual. Just as in medicine the set of individual effects are dependent upon the good effects are dependent upon the way in which the doses are administered. Strychnine is one of the greatest tones known to medical science, yet if improperly administered it is one of the most deadly poisons.
Although music vibrations actually affect us physically, their effect is mostly psychic. No art appeals so strongly to the emotions as music. The greatest scientists and philosophers tell us that our emotions have a real effect upon our bodies. Excessive grief can cause death Worry can bring on jaundice. Intense fear can arrest the action of the heart. Pleasurable emotions act as a tonic, so is by appealing so very strongly to the emotions that music principally contributes to our mood. We know that music can cause the pale check to flush, the dull eye to sparkle, the heavy, sad heart to leap with joy. Musical therapeutics contributes to human happiness. What greater tonic is there in the vast universe than happiness?

MINSTREL COMPANY CLOSE8.
At the offices of Barton and Wiswell this week the statement was given out that the Down in Dixie Minstrels, in which John Rucker was being featured, had closed, and that there was not much likelihood of the show going on the road for the balance of the season. It is said that the minstrels made money up to and including their New Orleans engagement The management, however, found it impossible to play one night stands with so large an aggregation and come out on the right side of the ledger. Many of the minstrel men have gone into vaudeville
BLACK PATTLCO
Our business since Christmas in Mobile has been big and we have been turning them away. In Montgomery, Ala, at the Auditorium, although playing four days behind another colored company, we did a large matinee, and at night played to standing room. In Montgomery Allie Smith, when returning to the car after the evening's performance, fell into a steam vat of boiling water and was badly scalded. She is in the hospital and doing nicely, according to latest reports.
We were joined at Chattanooga by Alice Ramsey, a contralto, and Leila B Mitchell, a soprano, and both are making good.
Cast and chorus are receiving unstinted praise for their harmonious and effective work. Credit must be given our stage manager, Al J Watts.
Frank Sutton, as "Rags," the detective, is making many friends on this, his first Southern tour.
We made our entrance into the land of palms, oranges and gators at Tallahassee. Ela, finding it very hot and summer apparel was in order. From Tampa we will homeward bound for the North.

He would be a valuable addition to any of our colored shows.
FROGS HOLD BIG MEETING
A large an enthusiastic meeting of The Frogs was held last Sunday evening at the club's aerial bungalow, 15 West 137th street, Bert A. Williams, presiding, at which several important matters were discussed and acted upon. The date for this year's annual frolic of The Frogs was set for Monday evening, June 26. Manhattan Casino will be the scene of this big summernight's dance fest. It was also decided to move into the club's large and palatial clubhouse, located at 111 West 132d street, and which was purchased at a cost of nearly $12,000, about the first of May. After considering the names of a number of applicants for membership, a collation was enjoyed until a late hour.
"HOT TIME" AT CHILE SUPPER.
During the evening a musical program was given, the Pekin Trio coming out best as applause-getters. Should this trio quit vaudeville it would not have much trouble securing work as entertainers.
Harrison Stewart, of Stewart and Marshall, writes as follows of the supper, which he styles "A Night with the C. V. B. A.":
Well, sir, last Friday evening I finally found my way within the doors of the C. B. V. A.'s, and say, the time I did have, in old familiar faces I did see, in above all the chile carne I did eat!
Did you not the anything? No, sir, or not, I'm be it a male or female who wants to know. For the simple reason I wan't allowed to. Not being as yet a member, which I must regretfully say after having looked on with the observance of a detective after a criminal at all of the surroundings.
Well, I suppose you want to know who cooked the "beer" carne. Now, no one told me this but from the appearance of Breer's Stevens upon my arrival he must have been the guilty party, because I found him all decked in the "glad rags" of a chef. The head waiter seems to have been his partner, Breer's Sam Cook, because he was up to the house and came from the top of the house and stained to the kitchen, and then some Old Breer's Lester Walton stood around watching what he could see, so he could ram it up that newspaper of his'n. Then there was old Breer's Simon Dunmore running around calling himself "making it comfortable for everybody," and stepped on my foot some four or five times.
A musical treat worth talking about truly came off. Breer's Sam Arnold, Broke Cole, and Kirk Duncan, they got so high they were in a Trio, but "believe me" they tore off some old old Chicago rags, say they made everybody most forget the chile con carne was hot.
Hal! Hal! old Breer Sam Lucas he jumped up some two or three times to make a speech, but they told him to sit down, and he hobbed around. He is indisputably
Who else was there? Well, I'll tell you, the man needs space in his paper for something else, so I can't call no more names. But can say this, that the man who was in town was there, and some folks who weren't. Myself among the latter.
IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
CHJCAGO GIANTS IN CALIFORNIA.
CUBA is not the only place where baseball is flourishing this time of the year. In Southern California they are also playing the national game, and a colored team—Frank Leland's Chicago Giants, is the leading attraction.
The Chicago aggregation is a member of the California Winter League, consisting of four teams. The other nines represent Los Angeles, San Diego and Veronica, a suburb of Los Angeles, and are composed of white professionals who spend their winters in California.
The San Diego team is in the lead and the Chicago Giants in second place with a percentage of 600.
The personnel of the Giants is. Williams, Bali, Gatewood, Mooney and Wareware, pitcher, Pettus, Johnson, Winston, Moore, Wright, Lane, Seldon, Green and Harris.
When Colored Team Beat Bender.
The following article recently appeared in the San Francisco Bulletin in which is related a game played between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Leland Giants when the colored players detected the "Quakers" with Bender in the box:
"The way that colored pitcher Williams is playing in the South is not surprising me, remarked Jimmy Byrnes this morning when the work of the Leed Giants happened to be mentioned." When I was with the Philadelphia Athletics I played against the very same bunch and, believe me, they could play the national game all right. I will never forget a battle they gave us one day at Atlanta.
I was playing on the Yannligans and Comie Mack arranged a game between us and the Giants. In the ninth inning the score stood something like 16 to 9 in our favor. We had a bunch of young players and there were a lot of good men among them. I remember that Bartley, who won a pennant for New Orleans, pitched for us and with such a long lead in the ninth it looked like an easy victory. The first colored player up in the ninth slammed out a single and the next one did the same and the next one killed the ball, and would you believe it, before we could get three men out the Giants tied the score. In reality they beat us, for the umpire robbed them of a run by calling a runner out at first who was safe a mile Down South, you know, the colored race hardly gets a square deal. We finally played eleven innings and called it a draw.
Why the National Commission Ruled Against Colored Clubs.
"But that was not the worst that happened to the Philadelphia club. The Giants beat the regular team a series of five games with Fender and Plank in the box, but this was at Atlantic City Comie Mack, arranged this series, too, and the National Commission was so sore over the defeat that they passed a ruling for major league clubs not to play colored teams any more. If they should ever allow black men to play in the major leagues or any other league there would be about half of the Leland Giant Club that would be gobbled up.
"That day they met us they had a colored player on first base bigger than Tub Hackett, who wore a glove no larger than an outfielder's and he was there with the goods. They could all hit and it was a treat to see them fire the ball about the field. They were all comedians and everybody liked to see them play. I think they would be a big drawing card up here. I think I will write the manager and see if I can't fix up a series with them before they return East next month. We could get up a picked team to meet them. The Giants work on salary like other players. They dress well and travel in style, and play the game for all it is worth."
IMPERIALS. 18: Y. M. C. A. 12.
At Douglas Auditorium last Friday evening the Imperial Regulars gained their most notable victory of the season when they took the New York Y. M. C. A. into camp, winning by a 18 to 12 score. A crowd of over three hundred was on hand. In the first half, while the Y. M. C. A. boys played hard, they missed every attempt for goal, making their three points on fouls. The half ended with the score 8 to 3 in favor of the Imperials. In the second half both teams made more points, but the Imperials played the better game, doing some neat passing, followed by accuracy in shooting the goals. Goode and Young doing most of the shooting. The line-up- Imperials—Goode and Blanchard, forwards; Young, center, Henry and Burrell, guard. Y. M. C. A.—Lee and Mackenbac, forwards: Stone, center, Gordon and Norway, guards.
In the preliminary, the Imperial Corinthian young ladies' team of Orange, defecated the Eclat young ladies team of Newark by the score of 3 to 2.
On Friday evening, February 3 the Imperials will play the St. Cyprian of New York at Douglas Auditorium Oak wood avenue and Parrow street Orange N. J.

NEGRO WINS LEGAL BATTLE
Supreme Court of Washington Decides Important Case in Favor of David Cole—Cannot Exclude Negroes From Buying Property
Special to The New York Aon
Spokane, Wash., Jan 23. A decision was recently rendered by the Supreme Court of Washington involving the property rights of the Negro, which has caused much rejoicing among the colored people of this State.
The case was that of the Hunter tract Investment Company against David Cole.
Save the Spokane Citizen regarding the case.
"In winning the case Attorney Andrew R Black, of Seattle, scored a tremendous victory for the Negroes of this State. The Hunter Tract Investment Company represents a large and aristocratic section of the city of Seattle and by their policy Negroes were to be excluded. David Cole by purchase
secured a contract to a certain parcel of land in their section and concluded the contract by paying the total price for the land. The Hunter people then on the ground of his being a Negro refused to sign and convey the deed.
In the Superior Court of King County after a very hotly contested legal battle between Attorney Black and the several attorneys representing the millionaires' syndicate, Black won and the Hunter people carried the case to the Supreme Court. Mr Black personally appeared and argued the cause of not only his client, but his race before that tribunal and was rewarded by the present decision.
"The Citizen congratulates Attorney Black and feels that it expresses the silent sentiment of all members of the Negro race throughout the State when it says, 'He nobly fought a good fight and the reward obtained by the Supreme Court decision will last and be enjoyed by generations yet unborn in this State.' By and under the present ruling the Negro's right to buy and hold property any place when he has the money to purchase is longer than question. The Supreme Court can judge. As of his inherent rights. The decision was just and honest and the Supreme Court judges are to be commended upon their attitude of fairness in this case."
RACES TO CO-OPERATE IN TEXAS
Houston Chamber of Commerce and Local Negro Business League Work Together for Bond Issue.—Negro Citizens Praised.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Houston, Tex. Jan 24—An evidence of how black people and white people are co-operating in the South is given in the statement just made that in the interest of a bond issue of several hundred thousand dollars for the completion of a ship channel and the building of a mammoth viaduct connecting the North and South sides of this city, the Houston Chamber of Commerce and the Local Negro Business League worked together. The bond issue was carried, and all those connected with it in an official capacity were enthusiastic over the outcome.
The campaign did not by any means involve a local or a state issue. Throughout the country people have been vitally interested to an exceptional degree, some of them owning interests here, and others expecting to own interests here. Especially was this true of the people of the great Northwest section of the country, who look to Houston as their future outlet for products shipped to foreign countries.
Mayor Rice, in speaking of the deep water proposition, stated that it would be the making of Houston, and that it would mean more for the welfare of the state than anything yet undertaken
County Judge Amerman said:
"The result of to-day's election makes me prouder than ever to be county judge of Harris County"
Colonel Jake Wolters, chairman of the bond issues election issue, made the following statement concerning the outcome:
"It is not an egregious sentimentality, but simple justice that prompts the statement in this connection, that not a single colored property taxpayer and qualified voter was reported to the committee as opposed to either of the two propositions. Not a single one ever as much as intimated a

RACE ISSUE IN THE SENATE
(Continued from Page 1)
a curious variety of state constitutional provisions and legislative devices, now seek absolutely to deprive the general government of all power to protect the elections of members of the Senate from such fraud, violence or corruption as may taint a Senatorial election North or South. He said that the adoption of some measures in the penal, though limited, national sanction to the disfranchisement of Negroes in the Southern states
"In their disfranchisement," said Mr Carter, "we now passively acquiesce, but with this supine attitude some Senators are not content; they ask us actually to strip Congress of the power to question election methods and actions in so far as the election of United States Senators may be concerned, and by the way of inducement to the Congress and the nation to consent to the permanent suppression of more than a million votes at elections to choose Senators, they will co-operate in the adoption of a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people"
FARMERS MEET AT TUSKEGEE

farmer could produce at home and therefore help to keep money in his whole county and enrich the whole South
"The time has come when, in my opinion, the white citizens of the South should realize that a very liberal policy should be pursued in connection with the education of the Negro as a farmer. It is too much to expect that the Negro farmer will get the best results, and succeed without having any money spent on him to make him a more successful farmer, while thousands of dollars are being spent every year throughout the South in the education of the white farmers
"It is the interest of all concerned, I repeat, that those entrusted with the government of the Southern States should try to secure liberal allowances for the training of the Negro farmers."
"It is the interest of all concerned. I repeat, that those entrusted with the government of the Southern States should try to secure liberal allowances for the training of the Negro farmers."
"One of the special objects of this conference is to prepare you to become better farmers. I believe the Legislature of Alabama would do well to make an appropriation for holding farmers' institutes, and providing other means for the improvement of Negro farmers."
Among the Other Speakers.
W W Campbell, President of the Macon County Bank congratulated the conference on the stories of success he had heard. He thought the condition of the Negro farmer of the present day was at its lowest ebb and lower, he hoped, that it ever would be again.
"To little account is made of time. Hustle should he the order of the day. The average farmer works about one-third of this time and half works at that. Don't go to town for the fun of it. There is a wrong conception of freedom I believe every man ought to have as his final object the owner ship of a home. This was the first advice I ever heard my father give the colored people. Do not let your free dom starve you to death. Do not move too often.
"There is too much abuse of credit. Give the cold shoulder to the man that comes to your home to sell you something. Deal with men that you know to be honest. Don't buy what you think you need, but what you know you need.
"The white man will help you buy land. It is cheaper in the Black Belt than anywhere else
"You can live at home You can raise everything you need
"The white man is your friend in all your needs Ninety per cent of those here to-day who have told stories of success, live shoulder to shoulder to their white neighbors"
