ORGANIC UNION OF METHODISTS
ORGANIC UNION OF METHODISTS
Bishop Hood Urges Three Denominations of Church to Combine
CONFERENCE OF BISHOPS
A.M.E., A.M.E. Zion and C.M.E. Churches will be Represented at Session
TO MEET IN MOBILE, FEB. 11
Bishop Hood Says the Inter Church Federation Idea is Now a Reality and That Bishop Should Act.
In an article on "What the Negro Church Expects of Its Bishop," written for the Age, Bishop Solomon Porter Hood of the A M E. Church discusses the great need of the colored Methodists getting together, as follows.
The bishops of the three holding denominations of Negro Methodism will meet at Mobile, Al., in February. No body of Negro leaders anywhere could come together affecting a larger number of colored people. Any reasonable proposition from the greater respect and demand greater attention than from any other body of Negroes in this country. There is hope the greatest responsibility resting upon the bishops.
There are Negro civil leaders who are in the best respect, there are in the highest respect holding responsible positions, there are men in professional positions, and men in business who for their integrity and intelligence are race leaders. With all that the Negro preachers have been able and ought to be the people's leaders.
Among the ministers none are looked up to with more respect than the bishops. Even those denominations which have no bishops, such as the Baptist and Protestant, show great respect and a readiness to acknowledge the influence of a bishop.
Responsible Positions Held by Bishops.
Now, while this is a great honor to the bishops it means much more. No bishop who has the right conception of his work wants the place for the honor he receives, nor to simply dote upon the prestige the place gives. If he has the right conception of his work brings great responsibilities to God and man. He will feel he can only discharge the responsibilities by faithful service. That his leadership much tell for the lasting good of the people. That his great opportunity must not be lost by simple enjoying the power, prestige, or importance of authority or whatever he can do to bring being a bishop, but that he must use great office for the highest and best service of his people. We are thankful to say some do feel this.
For some time the question of origination between the three great bishops of the Greek theodism has been discussed. It has been shown that of the chief man who had the race's best interests at heart, many who were and some who were not members of the churches concerned that some decisive step would be taken in this direction.
Now it is more competent to advise and teach with more effect than the counsel of bishops which will meet at Mollis on February 11, 1911.
Here will come together the representatives of the bishop of the bench of A.M.F. the A.M. E Zion and the A.M.F. the B. Zion to consult and arrange for them as they can, without making any decisive enactment, the common good of all.
The time is now ripe as it never has been for the unity of these three branches of Negro Methodism. Branches in the north, the northern and Southern M. E. Church, the northern and Southern M. E. Church, move toward it. Inter-church federation is no longer an idea, but a reality and becoming more and more up the road by state. If these white churches are being organized organizations taking up the north state by state, if these white churches are being organized organizations have been divided by much sharper than before, ever separated the Negro churches are coming together, and with all the wealth intelligence and of courage possesses feel the need of cooperation what ought our Negro organization to feel. We have the same faith, charitons and a much greater

cational and missionary efforts, and yet we only have money by the hundreds for these great causes when we need it by the thousands.
Preachers Spend Too Much Time Appealing for Money.
Most of our chudches are in debt, and the preachers spread most of their time and often employ their greatest energies in financial rather than moral, intellectual and spiritual support and their families are often suffering for the barest necessities of life. In some places the preacher, like a religious beggar, has his hand always stretched out for alms from any source. It may come from the church, or from the church in sometimes left like a seedy old pauper because there are no funds to which he can be properly pensioned. Above all, the constituency from which the money comes as a class receive the most remuneration. It is the greatest effort to acquire property, educate children and live well. In the face of all this does it not behove their religious leaders, getting their own financial support from these people to so plan that all the money raised should be the most economically
In some places there are two or three little colored Methodist churches, the town might support one. Ought there not be some way to which the weaker could be consolidated with the stronger and in this way the more causes there are places where these little beggarly churches are simply objects of disfiance poverty. It seems sometimes a sin to send a man and his family to some of these appointments and to do it in the name of God. If there is something which the whole church cannot to耐 it is to use little colored church. Here are three denominations, all originating from the same source, with the same doctrines exactly, the same polity, and almost the same uses operating almost exclusively among the same people and largely among the same people in the writing could save money, energy, and men, and give the world the greatest organized body of Negro Christians it has ever seen.
Bishops Have Great Opportunity.
Such is the opportunity that stands like an open door to day before the bishops of these three churches at their February meeting. No body of men hold it within their power to do more to effect the material, moral and religious uplift of the Negroes in country and through the Negroes in country, and through the three Methodist denominations. They could give this work such impetus that the General Conferences of their respective bodies meeting in 1912 would take such infinite action as would result in organic union. There would be some difficulties ves, difficulties in proportion to the magnitude of the work, but none that the Christian men, who really wanted to do it could not surmount. The conditions of the Negro demand it, all the present greatest religious movements urge to it, and a great purpose of Christianity will be fulfilled by it.
CRYPT OF CHURCH OPENED
Brooklyn Episcopalans in New House of Worship—Hundred Persons Attend Ceremony.
The Rev Archdeacon Russell of Brooklyn officiated at the opening of the crypt of the St Philip's P E Church, Brooklyn. Saturday afternoon The new house of worship is located on Dean street, near Troy avenue The ceremony was attended by about three hundred members and friends of the church.
At 3:30 o'clock Miss Mary Benson turned the key of the crypt and entered, followed by the Rev N Peterson Boyd and his associates The choir sang hymns as the procession entered. Ground for the new building was broken on October 2, 1910, by the Rev. Mr. Boyd. The building was completed in four months, all the work being done by Negro mechanics. The cornerstone was laid on November 20.
The Rev N. Peterson Boyd was born in Wekhonburg county, Va., thirty-four years ago. He received his theological education at St. Paul's N. I. School at Lawrenceville, Va. From there he went to St Andrew's Divinity College at Syracuse, N Y, where he was made deacon by Bishop Huntington of Central New York.
Seven years ago he came to Brooklyn to take charge of the present church of St. Philip. He was made a curate by Bishop Burgess. The old church was in a pretty bad way when he first came. Repairs were made, but Mr. Boyd decided to get his congregation working for a new church.
Finally after years of hard work he raised enough money to fulfill his ambition. From a body of fifty attending in 1004, Mr. Boyd has increased the congregation to more than two hundred
Sunday morning at 7.30 o'clock Mr Boyd celebrated the first communion in the crypt. At 11.30 Archdeacon William Russell preached and at 8.30 p.m. the Rev C. F. Wrigley, D. D.
Among the well-known members of the Episcopal Church of Brooklyn present were the Rev. W. D. McClane, the Rev William Russell and the Rev C. A Brown.

SEGREGATION CASE THROWN OUT OF COURT
Judges Harlan and Duffy Declare Title of Law Defective
NEGROES WIN FIRST VICTORY
City Councilman West Has Announced His Intentions of Drafting Another Law—Chagrin Over Defeat.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 7.—The sponsors for the West segregation law were given a temporary setback Saturday when Judges Harlan and Duffy, sitting in the Criminal Court, declared that the law continuing colored people to certain sections of the city was invalid because the title of the law was defective.
The validity of the obnoxious law was questioned in the Criminal Court the previous Saturday, when several white attorneys filed demurrers to indictments made under the law.
State's Attorney Owens concurred in the decision of the two judges, which follows.
We agree with the state that by reason of the fact the the nature of the ordeal in the Session 221 of the City Charter, in that the subject embroiled is invalid and the demurrer to the ordinance, framed upon the same, will have to be sustained.
Whether it is possible to pass a valid ordinance providing for the segregation of the white and colored races in their places of residence is a question of great importance, which, in our judgment, ought to be decided when an ordinance otherwise void is placed before the court.
There will be a new law drafted, and City Councilman West, the father of the law just declared invalid, has engaged Attorney William L. Marbury to draft a new ordinance Marbury is one of the best known lawyers in the state, and is somewhat noted for his anti-Negro views. He was the attorney for the Democrats in the case, which resulted in the United States Circuit Court declaring the "grandfather" clause in the Annapolis municipal election law void, and declared to the court that it was his opinion that the 14th and 15th amendments were not legally adopted.
GOVERNOR AND PRINCIPAL FIGHT
Thomas E. Miller Forced to Resign as Head of the State Negro College at Orangeburg—Opposed Election of Gov. Blease.
Special to THE NEW YORK AOR.
Orangeburg, S. C., Feb. 6.—Thomas E. Miller, for many years president of the State Negro College, located in this city, has been ousted by the newly-elected Governor for alleged pernicious activity in politics. Prof. Miller admits that Gov. Blease is "getting even," and claims that he opposed the election of the new executive as he considered him a radical ant-Negro man.
The nassignation of Prof. Miller will take effect on June 30 of the present year. This date was named in order that he might have time to wind up the affairs of the institution before turning the work over to his successor.
The board of trustees which met recently in the office of Gov. Blease has decided to hold another meeting just after the adjournment of the present general assembly when the successor to Prot. Miller will be chosen.
Prof. Miller has been president of the institution for several years, and draws a salary of $2,000 a year.
It is expected that N. F. Nix, a colored Baptist preacher of this city, will be named by the board of trustees to succeed Miller.
Following the request for resignation, Prof Miller sent letter of resignation to Gov. Blease in which he charges that he was dismissed because he opposed the election of Gov. Blease. Miller says in his letter that he counted the cost before he opposed Gov. Blease. The letter of resignation follows
Cole C. J. Blease, the Governor
of South Carolina, Columbia,
South Carolina
Dear Sir--Because I opposed your election to the chief office in the gift of our beloved state, you have demanded my resignation, but that you do not permit the State to College business until my resignation is in your hand. In answer to your request, with your permission our honored trustees have fixed the end of the fiscal year, June 30, as the day for my resignation to be held dear air, for this lenency, the more so because I am guilty of having begged the voters not to vote for you. I counted the cost before I opposed you, hence I am prepared for the blow of your official axe. In the past, I was 10 since I was elected to my present position, having been indorsed by the Republican and Democratic organizations, the judiciary, most of the members of the constitutional convention, the state legislature, and the United States senators. In response to their indorsement, I have put fifteen years of faithful service in this work. I now thank them for the great confidence they reposed in me. Acts have gone into history; I do not fear the judgment of our people, white and black, upon them. My opposition to you was not an official act, and I alone am responsible to my country and
you, for there was no malice in my opposition to you. I felt that your announced policy against the Negro was not founded upon justice and the beat interest of the state: for that reason I tried to bring about your defender. Wishing for you an administration founded upon wisdom and statemanship, peace, prosperity and happiness, I hereby tender you this, my resignation, to go in effect June 30, 1911. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, THOS. E. MILLER. President of the State Colored College.
It is said that the Governor backed up his demand for Prof. Miller's resignation with a threat that if Miller declined to quit, the Governor would withhold his approval of vouchers or warrant, necessary to the procuring of money with which to operate the college. Prof. Miller is credited with having said in reply that he would not, by making a fight for any personal rights he might have, risk the prosperity of the college, and he accordingly resigned, the board of trustees having meanwhile joined in the Governor's request.
Prof. Miller, as president of the college, has done good work, and his place will not be as easily filled as some folks think it will. He had his students at all times under the best of discipline, and there was no friction at any time between them and outsiders.
IN HANDS OF RECEIVER
Affairs of Galllean Fishermen in Bad Shape—Failure of Bank Sald to Have Caused Complications.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGR
Baltimore, Md, Feb. 7—As a result of the mobility of the endowment department of the National Grand Taber nacle of the Galilean Fishermen to pay its death claims, and which condition was brought about by the failure of the bank of the order at Hampton, Va., by which the department was caught for nearly $25,000, Attorneys C C Fitzgerald and W C McCard have been appointed receivers for the order.
The affairs of the order have been somewhat complicated for some time and Rev Thomas R. Shorts, who had been National Grand Ruler for some years, was ousted last August, Columbus Gordon, of this city, succeeding him. Despite efforts to stem the tide, and coupled with the failure of the bank, the financial straits continued Joseph P. Evans, Grand Ruler, with Maryland, made application for the receivership. The order was founded over fifty years ago, and has branches in a num
FARMERS AT SNOW HILL
Interesting Demonstration Work Conducted by United States Department of Agriculture—Principal Edwards Makes Address—Resolutions Adopted
Special to THE NEW YORK AQUA
Snow Hill, Ala., Feb 6—Last Friday was Farmers' Day at the Snow Hill Institute. It was the fourth that has been held. The Farmers' Short Course in Agriculture was held January 30. The course was planned and conducted by Harry Simms, special United States demonstration agent for Wilcox county and T M-Campbell, district agent.
In his address Principal Edwards encouraged the farmers to educate themselves in farming by taking advantage of improved methods, by interchanging thoughts, one with the other. Each farmer was asked to tell about the improvement in his community, and suggestions were made to make more improvements especially how to pay for and beautify their homes, how to make more per acre on the farm; how to reach and lift up the masses.
The following resolutions for the sixteenth annual Negro conference of the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute were adopted therea. It is the object of this sixteenth annual Negro Conference to promote the moral material and educational progress of the entire community believing, as we do, that we are our own worst enemies, he it resolved that we this day pledge ourselves to abolish the mortgage system as rapidly as possible.
2 In view of the fact that the cotton hoil weevil is rapidly approaching this section, we shall put forth every effort to encourage the raising of all food supplies such as corn, potatoes, syrup, penn, hogs, chickens, etc., at the store than go in debt for them at the store.
3. To discourage the throwing away of time and money on Saturdays by lotering around town drinking and digging ourselves and families. We excursions and big camp-meetings," and try earnestly to secure better homes, better schools, better churches, better teachers and better preachers.
4. To encourage the buying of homes, and to urge upon all Negroes the work that will furnish farms and not only to own them, but to beautify and improve them.
5. We are in sympathy with the Farmer's Short Course Movement and do earnestly hope that it shall become a permanent feature of this Institution.
7. We further resolve to co-operate in every possible way with the Farmer's Co-operative Demonstration Work under the United States Department of Agriculture that is being introduced for Negroes in this Wilcox county, and that will encourage chocolate assistance given by the various white land owners in said county.
GOV. DIX DENIE8 REPORT.
Albany, Feb. 7.—Governor Dix denies the report coming from Brooklyn that he has indorsed a movement by the United Colored Democracy of Kings for the formation of a Negro regiment of the National Guard in Brooklyn.

Taken Off Pullman Car by Four Deputy Sheriffs at Vinta - Taken Before Justice and Fined $14.
Special to THE NEW YORK AOB.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 7—Dr William 7 Thompkins, of this city, has brought suit in the Federal Court against the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway and the Pullman Company for $100,000 damages, alleging that he was forcefully ejected from a Pullman car at Vinta, Okla., and taken before a Justice of the Peace because he refused to leave the car.
Dr. Thompkins, who is one of the most prominent physicians in the West on Saturday December 17, left home for McAlester, Okla., on the M.K. and T Railroad, to make a professional call on Miss Hazel McAlester daughter of L. E. McAlester, who was seriously ill with typhoid fever.
He had purchased a railroad ticket and also a Pullman ticket to McAlester and his trip was uneventful until he reached Vinta. At Vinta he was forcefully ejected from the Pullman by four deputy sheriffs who put him under arrest. When the County Judge refused to assume jurisdiction Mr. Thompkins was taken before a Justice of the Peace
During the mock trial it was discovered that Dr. Thompkins had been arrested without a warrant, and although there was not a member of the railroad crew present to enter a complaint, the case was tried nevertheless. Such a little matter as trying a prisoner without a warrant was overlooked. The Justice of the Peace fined the defendant $14 and costs, amounting in all to $14. He was told that he would either have to pay the fine or go to jail. Dr. Thompkins paid the late. So incensed are the citizens of Kansas City over the outrage that several local organizations are aiding Dr. Thompkins in his legal fight. As he was an interstate passenger prominent white lawyers here state that the plaintiff has a good case and should win. Dr. Thompkins stated to The Ace representative that he has hired the best legal talent available to represent him and is confident of winning his suit.
MARYLANDERS WINNING
Judge Morris in United States Circuit Court Awards W. H. Howard, Roberts John B. Anderson Damages for Having Been Denied Right to Vote.
Special to THE NEW YORK AOM.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 7—A fitting sequel to the notable decision in the United States Circuit Court by Judge Thomas J Morris some weeks ago, when he declared the "grandfather clause" in the Annapolis law was invalid because it was contrary to the Fifth Amendment, as it discriminated against the Negro, came in the same court last Friday, when the same judge decided that Attorney W H Howard, Robert Brown and John B Anderson, three colored residents of the capital city of the State, were awarded $250 damages from the two Democratic registration officials who denied them the right to register under the law, thus depriving them of the right to vote. In announcing his decision Judge Morris said that while each of the plaintiffs asked for $5,000 damages, and all though he did not want to minimize the grievous wrong done the plaintiffs in having been denied the right to vote, he took in consideration the fact that the registers had acted under a law which he declared to be unconstitutional October 28.
William L. Marbury and the two other attorneys who appeared for the defendants will contest the decision in the United States Supreme Court, and the question of the validity of the "grandfather clauses" in the disfranchising laws of the various Southern States may be finally determined.
Former Attorney General Charles J Bonaparte, Edgar H Gans, Edwin G Beatier and J Wirt Randall appeared for the defendants.
The two decisions of Judge Morton are regarded as important, for in them many see a great chance to put a stop to anti-Negro suffrage laws.
INDICTMENTS IN OKLAHOMA
Prominent Men in Trouble for Having
Taken Part in Enforcing "Grand-
father Clauses" Last November—
United States District Attorney
Keeping Their Word—Indict Seventy
Violators of Constitution.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Guthrie, Oklahoma, Feb. 6.—Two election inspectors have been indicted in the United States District Court on the charge of enforcing the "grandfather clause" at the November election, and seventy indictments have been returned against those who took part in the scheme to illegally deprive the Negroes of their votes.
· Before election United States District Attorney Emby and Lee issued arrest warrants.
are keeping their word. Duke W. Jeffries, a wealthy Democrat, and Willard Smith, a Republican, both prominent in Logan county, were last week arraigned in the United States District Court and placed under bonds of $1,000 each.
The two men, who were election officers at Seward when the election was held last November, are specifically charged with enforcing the provisions of the so called "grindfather amendment" to the State Constitution, which disfranchised certain Negro voters. In their cases, the Federal act applies because congressmen were elected.
Jeffries and Smith were indicted under section 19, chapter 3, of the Federal criminal act governing offenses against the elective franchise and the civil rights of citizens. The penalty is in eligibility over to hold office or place of honor, proft or trust created by the Constitution of the United States. In addition to this, the maximum penalty is ten years' imprisonment and a fine of the undefected were returned as a result of the recent instructions to the grand jury by Judge Cotteral, who held that the Federal Constitution is supreme over any state law in grinding the elective franchise. Previous to the election, United States District Attorney John Embry of the Western district, and Lee of the East district, outlined particularly the section under which the indictments were returned.
The land office is called again f

LAW DECLARED VOID
Judge Campbell of United States Court Holds That Oklahoma "Grew father Clause" Violates Fifteenth Amendment.
Repeal TO THE NEW YORK AOR.
Muskogee, Okla., Feb 6—In his charge to the Federal Grand Jury, last Tuesday, Federal District Judge Campbell held that the "grandfather clause" election law of Oklahoma is void.
He said the clear purpose of the law was to disfranchise Negroes, and that therefore it isolated the Fifteenth Amendment.
"HOOKWORM AND POORWHITES"
Evening News Says Charge That Negro Brought Worm to This Country is Untrue—German Clergyman Said to Have Discovered Worm.
*Special to THE NEW YORK AUOR.*
Providence, R. I., Feb 7—In an editorial on That Hook Worm and the Poor Whites, the Daily Evening News writes
While there are many who refused to seriously consider the claim that there was such a thing as a 'hook worm' when it was first advanced, believing that some sympathetic and inventive genius had coined the phrase in order to afford an excuse for the lazy poor whites of the South, still when the munificent John D. Rockefeller gave a million dollars for eradication and prevention of the disease, interest in the subject grow.
"Now comes a write: we seeks to put upon the Negro thirst of bringing the worm with him. His water ciently pays less attention, that he does to rhetoric Otherwise, we would not have stated at the outset ha, in 1782 Goeze, a German clergyman zoologist, discovered what he called the hair-round worm on the intestines of a badger and that Friedlich, seven years later, discovered a same parasite in the intestines of a fox, and gave it the name 'hook worm'.
"Now Germany is not the habitat of the Negro, nor is there anything in common between the Negro and the badger and fox. These animals which gave the world the hook worm preferred Germany to Africa, it seems.
"But the writer, with these facts before him, insists upon concluding that it has been fairly assumed that in the beginning the Negroes brought the hook worm with them from Africa on the slave ships"
"As a matter of fact, the assumption is not even fair to the writer, nor to the Germans nor the Negroes. There were men of German descent in America before there were Negroes, and there were German and Negroes here before there were German or Negroes came.
"There were lazy white men in the South in 1607 who vied with the indolent red man and lacked none of that noble warrior's contempt for all forms of work. The hook worm in his most anemic condition is a dynamo of efficiency and strenuosity compared with many 'poor whites' of this type, and would probably be a propelling force if not an inspiration to them"

NOW THE MEN STRAIGHTEN HAIR
Latest Fad Among Colored Male Population of New York City
HARVEST FOR BARBERS
Tonsorial Artists Have Been Kept Busy Waking Curly Hair Straight Since Christmas
HUNDREDS USE PREPARATION
Men can be Seen in Harlem and on West Fifth-third Street Stroking Straightened Locks affectionately.
"Have you had your hair straightened yet?" This question can be heard many times during the day up in Harlem where the colored population is large in the San Juan Hill district, and in the vicinity of Fifth-third street. And the women folks are not the ones vitally interested in this latest fad, either. It is the men.
The idea vulgarly known as "making kinky hair straight" has taken root and grown to such large proportions that hundreds of colored men living in Manhattan have within the past month become enthusiastic adherents of the hair straightening process and are now temporarily "en the other side," so far as hair is concerned.
During the holidays a preparation was introduced among the colored barbers which was guaranteed to make the most stubborn and unyielding curly hair straight. An additional guarantee was given that close contact and familiarity with water would not cause the "made-to-order" hair to take a sudden change and assume its previous state; neither would the preparation leave the hair greasy and in a condition that would bring forth strong protests from the landlady and the folks at home relative to pillow cases, etc., the barbers were so informed
At first some of those who aspire to possess straightened hair (not straight hair) doubted very much that the preparation could withstand any friendly advances made by water, but several exhibitions were made which suited successfully, and one which gave his hair straightened well, finding it necessary to carry an umbrella with him at all times, and that he could wash his face without tiring up his head, the barbers began to do a "land office business". One of the first to have his hair straightened was a well-known performer, who sailed for Europe, taking with him a large supply of the preparation.
Up around 135th street and Lenox avenue in the neighborhood of Columbus avenue and Ninety-ninth street, and in the locality of Seventh avenue and Fifty-third street, colored men can be seen in large numbers who are wont to take off their hats repeatedly, even on the street when the temperature is far below freezing, and stroke their glossy, slick hair with their hand in an affective manne.
When a barber in Harlem who has ever able to start a bank account on the monde, he has made straightened hair since Christmas was asked by a representative of LAF. Again at the fas has injured the hair-cutting instrument he applied.
"Why, we barbera have" come now We seldom have to use the clippers and instead of using the scissors all over we only trim the edges and in the back the neck, which some folks call the 'kitchen'. Although the preparation is guaranteed to do the work for over month, yet the hair when it grows out of course curly, and the men have to come to us quite often to have the edges trimmed." When further asked if the hair straightening process did not have a tendency to affect the brain, the barber replied: "There is not much chance of those who are having their hair straightened becoming affected mentally Do not worry about that."
DR SHEPARD ENTERTAINED.
On last Saturday evening David L. Martin entertained the members of the New York and Newport Ugly Fishing Club at the residence of the vice-commodore, J Eugene Mars, in this borough. The guest of the evening was Dr. James F. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C. who was accompanied by his brother, Dr Chas. H. Shepard. President Shepard spoke briefly but interestingly of the principle on which the school is based, namely, that honest labor, morality and religion must go hand in hand. He also referred to the encouraging support that the work had received from wealthy New Yorkers. Among others present were Messra, V. C. Murray, F. H. Carmand, R. V. C. Hate Edward Barfield, C. H.

Beguine Church, Syracuse, N. Y. Feb 8—At the Baptist Layman Missionary banquet at the Central Baptist on the night of January 11, which was the largest gathering of its kind ever held in this city the delegation of nearly 30colored men from the Bethany Baptist Church was not only the largest single delegation present, proportioned to the membership of the church, but was probably the largest number ofcolored men that has even been enabled for this purpose.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGN.
Buffalo, N. Y. Feb. 8.-In reviewing the citizens of Buffalo, perhaps the hardest groups for me to do justice to will be the present one—our newspaper man. Now I have no intention to revolutionize journalism, but to have facts as facts as possible, and a told that many newspapers have been started here and I might give you a long list of editors, but as I am dealing with men of to-day, I must refrain from going back, with one exception. The oldest newspaper man in Buffalo was a Dickens, and a Dickens or Dickson, who in 1875 and 1876 assisted Edward H. Butler of the world-known Buffalo Evening News when it first began to appear, and Mr Dickens for years conducted a Sunday column and many of the newspapers of Buffalo will still call the table in which he handled the news at that time. The Sandy Leader originally owned by James Adams was purchased by Mr Norman E. Mack and the name was changed to the Buffalo Times. Perhaps the thousands of newspapers do not know that upon the editorial staff of that paper, is a colored man, Edward W. Crushy, who has worked his way from the bottom to the top, as telegraph editor and snapshot editor, and now upon the paper as one of the editors of the public opinion upon all important matters
Mr. Crossby is not a narrow man in any sense of that term, but is broad-minded, liberal, a fluent speaker of read, wit. A painter of mind pieced together his ideas in a spelled out, and many times his pen is used to fight the battles of the race in Buffalo, surely the pen is not better than the sword with Mr. Crossby.
James Alexander Ross is the only colored man here who owns, controls and manages the Gazeteer and Guide devoted mostly to railroad employees. Mr. Ross came to Buffalo fifteen years ago, and organized the Colored Democracy. It was its intention to practice law, but seeing the need of a newspaper he commenced to publish one, which he called the Mass. He believed that Mr. Ross was the first colored man to advocate a Negro exposition. He canvassed the ground here immediately after the Pan-American Exposition and set about to organize men and to capitalize such an adventure, and he encouraged him with the encouragement he thought he deserved and discontinued the project.
A few years ago a young lad established for himself a newspaper route and with that characteristic and push and inherited pluck and energy soon became the largest newspaper routes in Buffalo. His name is James Anderson. So well did he manage his own business that when the Morning Coaster, with a circulation of roughly 100,000 was in search of a location, was offered to Mr. Anderson, which he has led for the past ten years. Last fall the Buffalo Morning Express gave him a very flattering offer to manage their territory, which Mr. Anderson accepted and he is now the owner. The Age Frederick W. Lee, is a clerk in the office of the Express. Gerard Anderson is a collector for the Express. In the real estate business Buffalo had and had one colored family that dealt in real estate, the late Robert Talbert who was assisted by his son William H. Talbert, who succeeded to his father's business at his death. Mr Talbert was the largest colored dealer and real estate owner in west-central New York.
Mr Talbert is a member of the Buffalo Real Estate Exchange, and has succeeded in securing houses for colored tenants after repeated refusals to colored people by white landlords. Most of his property is in what is called the Down Town on Clinton street, two blocks from Main street, and the block adjoining the famous Lafayette Hotel. Mr Talbert is president of the Buffalo Republican League and of the Citizens Committee and also is attached to the City Treasurer's office. A great number of Buffalo's substantial citizens own their own property. Mr Talbert was one of the few "expert men" on the city taxes and he reports that over one hundred pieces of real estate are owned by colored families here.
A valuable man in the office of the Commissioner of Public Works is Oscar Brickt, who for the past ten years has held his position quietly and in blowing of horns or display.
For years Buffalo has been well represented by caterers. The late George Coleman at one time owned one of the prettiest lunch parliars in the city. Later came Oscar Brown, a chef who moved then William P. Myers, who located in the heart of Buffalo's busiest business district, operating two or three places, and now in the very fashionable Elmwood avenue district is Mr Henry W. Hamilton, who caters to Buffalo's business. Before going into the catering business, Mr Hamilton was a successful photographer but it became necessary for him to get away from the photographic work. He then attached himself to the Buffalo General Electric Company and acted as the director of Buffalo But Mr Hamilton was not satisfied and being encouraged to enter a new field of work decided to engage in the catering business, having successfully managed the Colonial Club, one of Buffalo's exclusive club houses. Mr. Hamilton was an exceptional phenomel and he has booked some of the choicest social functions up to the Lenten period.
For the past 15 years one of the best men attached to the New York Central Commission is William M. Ayers supply the number of men required to not leave Buffalo for New York or Chicago, with all of their cut meats. Perhaps the best dining car service in the world is the New York CentraFa. It is not generally known that many butchers cannot cut up the meats to suit the inspectors and superintendents of this group. The meat is wrapped in plastic.
ity rests upon Mr. Ayers, who is always "on the job" on time, winter and summer.
In the many Pullman trains arrive and depart from Buffalo they are not by Mr. James W. Uphur, the genial platform man. Mr. Uphur is the first colored man in Buffalo to hold this position, and is a general favorite in the office, having for a number of years been office man.
Collins Jackson has been appointed extra clerk in the County Treasurer's office through the uniting and persuading efforts of William H. Tabert. Mrs. Thomas Dunston, wife of the steward of the Criterion Club, spent several days in the city during the past week.

"THE MORNING AFTER."
With respect to the interesting "expers" now being "out" by Republican Senators at Washington, who have joined with the Democrats to kill off an amendment providing for Federal supervision of elections in the event that the Federal Senators are left to the tender mercies of the mob, the Tribune prints a story of unusual interest
Things look different in the cold gray light of the morning after even to a Senate insurgent. It is, perhaps, not only the clear light of dawn but the frantic protests of some of their local militants and henchmen which have served to open their eyes to the pitiless analysis which have appeared in the press have played a part. But whatever may have been the cause it is a fact that some, at least, of the men who to a deal with the Democrats to confirm the Negro disfranchisement (at Saturday) are undergoing to-day if they have done wisely Senator Smith, of Michigan, who voted with the insurgents and the Democrats, has a large Negro contingency. So has Senator Cummins, of Iowa. So has, or had, Senator Beaveridge of Ohio. Consequently it will be to protect the rights of the Negro in the Southern states, but that is a wholly different matter from alienating all right to do so in so far as the election of Senators is concerned. Throughout the insurgent states there are large numbers of men who are little corrupted by this overt act, the complete surrender to the Southern Democrats which is embodied in the Bornholm constitutional amendment, which was made the unfinished business before the Senate yesterday of more than a little more than a month. The command the necessary two-third vote in the Senate, even if the insurgents maintain their "unholly alliance" with the Democrats, but the very fact that insurgent Republicans have entered into such an alliance is filled with positives, welfare, and some of them are, metaphorically speaking, suffering from severe "morning after headaches."
The Act has never been able to understand the mental process by which Senator Borah moves and talks. He came to the Senate from a criminal court in Idaho, where he had to talk often and perform much, and maybe he thinks he has to keep that up to hold his people. The rights and status of colored Americans, or the purposes of the war amendments to the Constitution, have, we believe, never seriously interested the Idaho buzz-saw. Nor has he been trained deeply enough to grasp the wisdom of the fathers out of which came, after days of argument, the present provisional distinction between a Senator representing a state as a unit, and a representative standing for a number of people in a prescribed territory.
It is no compliment to the boasted fair play and justice of white Americans, particularly those that are members of the political party that was organized and launched to tight oppression, that colored men can only appeal to them for justice and equality on the ground of political expediency, rather than on the ground of brotherhood, patronism exhibited in war and peace, and the rights guaranteed to them and to all under the law. Senators are supposed to be intelligent men. They are supposed to be well read men particularly versed in the history and development of government. Does any one of them, Borah for example, know of a single government that has survived the practice of injustice and injusty against any race or class or citizen? Does any one of them, Senator Smith, for example know of such a government that did not go down?
The "morning after headache" referred to by the *Tribune* as *asleep compared to the "morning after" that will overtake these blessed United States if there is no check to the crimes committed against the Negro race in democracy's name.
OUR EMANCIPATOR
What is there to say of our Emancipator that has not already been said? Who can sing an unsung song or speak a word not hitherto spoken? What tribute can be paid that against his matchless name were not an empty bubble?
The world has picked Abraham Lincoln as the first of earth's sons to win what is indeed a deathless fame. His name is second to none in history. No one can tell of Lincoln unless the story is told of how Lincoln gave the Negro freedom, and how the Negro, through perseverance and achievement, has proved that Lincoln's mighty act was not in vain. It is a no small thing for colored men that their history is no later.
lined with the life of the new world? greatest figure.
By industry, frugality, patience, courage, hope and pride of our race, let the children of those whom Lincoln freecet that monument to him that wintnor rain nor snow can ever wear away. Chiseled stone can never tell the story as it is THE Age is often accused of overoptimism. It is not that at all. One reason of our undisturbed faith in the American people and in the coming years with respect to the place our people will occupy in the common weal, is that Lincoln is never forgotten. If his memory survives we shall come into our own. It is time enough to lose hope when he is forgotten.
Great character, moving force in the life of all men, prince of peace, yet boy warrior, Mosaic statesman, yet gifted with the erudition of Paul, no mortal man let his fame be written on Grecian scroll or Roman chart, has ever equaled him in a mastery of true philosophy.

Yet he achieves the Forum's praise
And soon earth's highest need has

REASON'S REPLY
Two distinguished Anglo-Saxon citizens of dear old Lynchburg VI are debating at each other through the columns of the Daily Strange over the exclusion of the Negro from the ballot. Words are thick and reason is long, and at the verbal contest we will come for error never met, tracing it in the sunlight that truth did not sit up, gaudy dress, skin stockings and al. The white men of Lynchburg are divided in their opinion, with the colored men are thankful for the civil Daniel that dares to read the writing on the wall. We welcome the countrys. The hope of the situation in the South is that year after year the Southern white men who dare to talk out against the infamy injustice and macination practiced against colored men will attract new men of force and character to the cause.
Senator A.F. Thomas of Virginia opposed to the colored mee of Virginia exercising the right to suffrage. His argument is that they are colored and are therefore unit for citizenship. John Singleton Diggs has courted resists and walked in the ways of justice. He says that Mr. Thomas is important, he possesses in it that sounds the dept of his Judge Diggs' final record as the Advance calls it, we reproduce its courage and strength, and is an excellent Virginia debate.
In reply to my appeal, Mr. Thomas to my attentions propositions to exclude the Negroes in special elections he declares that he will not elect the exclusion of Negroes from the elections created during the Civil War and that all institutions will admit Negroes.
He returns all counsels rather than facts and facts and lies and lies and lies.
The exclusion of the statesmen from suffrage and all participation in public affairs will not tend to purify the ill-educated. Lift up your eyes to Ohio, Illinois and Virginia, and witness the disclosures and exposures of the white Anglo-Saxon birthling, cheating and defending his brother of the same race, the governing power of any country, and defending his depriving, excluding and oppressing thousands of its citizens, not for crime or any wrong-doing, or lack of a common interest in the welfare of the country, but purely because they are of a different race is neither statesmanship, patriotism, good government, nor community. As it is unprofitable to prolong this discussion, I will not again trespass upon the patience of the public, but will leave Senator Thomas in that con-
ment which any man is entitled to joy who can not 'upon his Creator he full responsibility for his own prejudices and futilities. And so I affectionately bid him an epistolary farewell. J SINGLETON' DIGGS. Judge Diggs' masterly plea we shall preserve for reference. If Senator Thomas makes reply thegoe we purpose to frame it for exhibition.
BUILD A HALL
Two weeks ago THE ACE pointed out the necessity of colored men of means getting together to build a center of amusement for the people in New York city. With even more urgency THE ACE directs the attention of Odd Fellows and Masons and members of other fraternal organizations of New York to the need at a central hall and meeting place, and particularly to the discomfiture everywhere occasioned because the hundreds of lodges in the city are left to the tender mercies of heartless and unaccommodating landlords."
That there is no adequate fraternal center here owned by these organizations or by colored men is more than discuraging, it is really disgraceful. Some years ago the Odd Fellows attempted to buy a building in West 29th street got toighting among themselves and lost it. How they lost that money has never been explained. The majority of the lodges have still been meeting there, but the white man has collected the rent. But now they have got to move. That is bad. That building then assessed at $50,000 is now worth $125,000.
The Masons of the city, we hear are planning to provide a ball not only for themselves but for all the societies. If one half of the societies of this society town would unite in support of one ball, it could be paid for in five years, provided the cost of creation was reasonable. There are many strong and well-braided men among the Masons, and Tim Aigle not only hopes that they will bring something out of their plans, but advises them to go ahead and give to people a social and fraternal center. The people need it, and will help us for it.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
In last Sunday's World appeared an editorial reviewing not only the South's intolerance, but also and more or less entirely the wonderful growth of the South since the rebellion was rushed. In another column the World's attitude is reproduced in full.
The wonderful material and intellect progress of the South is a source to all the people of that country as it ought to be, and to the nation we do not believe as the World is that the whites of the South are increasing proportionately more rapidly in the blacks. We believe on the truth and that a fair investigation and true report will prove that the blacks are increasing more rapidly than the whites. We shall waste no time in doing that about since it is settled that we are in the South to stay, side

LEARNING AND PRACTICING
We have a good record in rehabilitating a patient to the effect that he was a victim of the effect that President Walters was refused accommodations for a time in the rest of South Carolina & Co. Now he is.
Now if the facts are true is reported that we are Bishop Wall. We have acted urgently and we hope he will do so in future. Bishop Walters is that who are preaching mankind and that kind of thing the Bishop instead of leaving the church and have refused to go to have suffered himself in necessary to be arrested, and have gone on to the police station. Or, if he did not choose to take this course, he should have at once taken the case to the courts and have it out. We hope he will still do so.
It is perfectly useless to go on preaching "manhood rights" when one has a chance to show his manhood in a practical way, and yet fails to do so. We have a law to cover just such cases. We should quit telling others to do what we don't do ourselves. Telling Southern Negroes to stand up for their rights and not standing up yourself, brings a smile and a thought. Where is the brave man now? Don't give us advice that you can't take yourself.
Thomas E. Watson, in a remarkable tribute, calls Joseph Pulitzer the most gifted officer ever Bred. The Geor-
gain steps that the World is the best thing that ever happened in the newspaper field. Two policies only he differs with the great editor upon. One is his attitude upon the Negro question. Mr. Watson ought to know that Mr. Pulitzer's attitude towards the Negro for whom he pleads with all his great powers, is one of the reasons why he is so great and powerful a man, and so mighty an influence in the nation. He knows that he is right, if there is such a thing as justice, and he knows that Mr. Watson is wrong. Mr. Pulitzer knows that unless the Negro is protected in every right and guaranteed in every equality, that democracy is a lie and this republic is doomed. The World is our greatest newspaper because Mr. Pulitzer always tells the truth.
A WORD TO LIBERIA
News comes to us to the effect that Hon. Mr. Howard, Secretary of the Treasury of the Republic of Liberia, has been nominated for the presidency. This nomination, we understand, is equivalent to the election. We congratulate Liberia on having so able a man as President. We also congratulate Liberia upon the fact that it has had for a number of years that very estimable citizen in the Presidential chair in the person of Mr Barclay. Every one who has come into contact with President Barclay speaks of him in the highest and most complimentary terms. Certainly, from all we can gather, Mr Howard is the strongest man.
Now that the Liberian loan question is settled, together with the boundary question, Liberia ought to take on new life, but in order for the republic to live and not disappoint its friends in America and elsewhere, some plain statements ought to be made.
First, the Liberians should get down to business. Too many of them seek after political jobs rather than the cultivation of the soil and the development of the natural resources of their country. There should be fewer men holding office in Monrovia and more developing the country.
In the second place, too many people are leaving the country and moving to the coast towns, especially Monrovia. The country districts constitute the safety of the nation.
Thirdly, Liberia needs new blood. It can not get this new blood from outside sources nor is it necessary. What the Liberians need to do is to identify themselves with the native population in the hinterland. This can be done by intermarriage, by interchange of business, and most of all by treating the natives justly and putting them on the same plane that the Liberians put themselves on. Fourth, Liberians everywhere need to get rid of the idea that the natives should do all the work and the Liberians play the part of gentlemen or overseers.
Fifth, Liberans should remember that civilization will not permit them to hold this rich territory much longer unless they develop it. New complications just as serious as those through which L. Liberia has recently passed will continue set the republic until the republic start off on a sure and rational foundation. That chance is now before the Liberans.
LOOK UP AND DOWN
Nine one can study and observe the conditions and the progress of our race in America without being greatly encouraged. In the first place we have grown in numbers and are continuing to grow. When we were made free we numbered four millions now we number ten millions.
We do not ruminate or disregard our disadvantages and difficulties, but we have opportunities that tar outweigh our troubles. The ten millions of Negroes in America live in better houses, have more comforts and conveniences in these houses, have more education, more schools and colleges and technical and industrial schools. Have more churches and better ministers have more forms, more industrial enterprises, receive better wages for their work, are better clothed, eat better food than any similar group of Black people anywhere in the world. And we have only just begun to make progress.
Let us keep these things constantly in our attention and let each law of festivals be a co-ordination and a celebration in the United States.
One very solid-heat of a Negro having the United States to become a resident of any other country. On the other, land thousands of black people from the West Indies, Africa and elsewhere are constantly flocking to the United States. This fact within itself demonstrates that there is a better chance for the black man in America than elsewhere.
VICTORY IN BALTIMORE
We congratulate most heartily the colored people in Baltimore on account of their knocking out the segregation act. We not only congratulate the colored citizens of Baltimore, but we congratulate the white people—and there were not a few—of Baltimore who stood by the colored people in knocking out this vicious law.
Further than this, the Baltimore people deserve great credit because without seeking or asking outside help in the way of money, or advice, they took the
matter into the coats, and with their own money and with their own brains smashed this vicious and unnecessary legislation.
ANDERSON HONORED AGAIN
It was a distinct honor paid our leader, Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, that he was among the few distinguished New York citizens invited on the committee to arrange for the dinner in honor of Mr. Nathan Straus. Mr. Anderson's name is second on the list. The dinner was a brilliant affair, there being present at it the State's best citizens, including Governor Dix, President of the Borough of Manhattan Mr. George McAneny, August Belmont, John Jacob Astor and others.
Right in the midst of these at one of the principal banquet tables sat Hon. Charles W. Anderson When such things take place in our midst, who would dare venture the assertion that we are not making progress under the leadership of men like Charles W. Anderson.
NEW ORLEANS DEFEATED
THE NEW YORK ACE justly claims some share of credit for the defeat of New Orleans in its effort to secure the Panama Exposition We are grateful to our friends throughout the country for the influence they brought to bear on their congressmen.
In this contention we did not try to get New Orleans to discard its separate street car system, although we are opposed to that on principle, but we did urge our people everywhere to bring influence to bear on their congressmen to get them to vote against New Orleans unless New Orleans agreed to take down the insulting signs and the bars in the street cars which makes it impossible for any colored person to ride in them without continually being chagrined and humiliated We trust that this lesson will do New Orleans some good.
COTTRILL CONFIRMED
Charles Cottrell, of Ohio, who was appointed some time ago Collector of Internal Revenue, at Honolulu, Hawaii, was confirmed by the Senate last week. Several weeks ago we made an extended comment upon Cottrell's selection, approving of it, and thanking Mr Taft for it.
Mr Taft has our respects for standing by his guns. Mr Cottrell has our congratulations and good wishes, and the poor foolish brown men of Hawaii who joined in with white Americans of Honolulu in protest against Cottrell have our sympathy, and our fervent hope that they and their children will learn wisdom with the years.
BOSTON AND HORACE
GREELEY.
What in the world has come over Boston? The one hundredth birthday of Horace Greeley has been celebrated, and Boston has remained quiet. Is Boston losing its reputation for 'celebrating?' Here was a magnificent opportunity to have "passed the hat" for several weeks. If Boston does not do better in the future, some other city will take its palm. Certainly no such other opportunity ought to have been persecuted.
NOTE AND COMMENT
Kansas Wrong Again
Some years ago William Allen White won a big fame and got his name in all the newspapers by writing a bright essay under the title, 'What Is the Matter with Kansas.' Mr White still cuts the coupons off this investment and the Emperor Grazette is not now compelled to take chickens and eggs for subscription money. Mr White is not one who brighter than our own Nick Chiles. He may be a little less rough. In a recent issue of the Plain Dealer Mr. Chiles describes a few cray Kansas colony and put his fingers on a few boll recessing thing at the clock of the Kansas feature. We shall all wish to tell our story. The Kansas colony there is in and with it a result in and with it a response to the needs of this colony and to the response of this colony to its children.
No Christian gentleman would resort to such a low thing. Such a bill is a diagrame to the white women of any state or clime, as its insane author takes a law to prevent their securing by a woman with the least spark of self-respect and womanhood would think of marrying a Negro nor would a colored man with the same amount of respect seek such a marriage. He has too many cultured and refined indies in his home from whom and the same can be said of colored father of this bill needs a good, sound thrashing or a coat of tar and feathers.
Still there is another wise one. He imagines that railroads should operate at a loss, that the people are being robbed. He therefore wants utility
laws in order to create more jobs and
job opportunities on the jobline so they
can perpetuate other jobs.
It is a pity that Kansas has been made the dumping grounds for the offalls of the world. They conjure up all kinds of schemes and when enacted a law works a hardship on the masses, we need a good through the tax system in order to keep these cranks in clover. Will the good people of Kansas ever catch on?
Now, there does seem that Kansas has something wrong in it. If Bill White tack Chiles will get together in a common defense, the state might be redeemed.
POLITICAL NOTES
Walter Cohen, who wrote a letter to
The Age last week in which he said
that he knew nothing of the plan of
Mr. Taft to dispossess him of the office
of Receiver of Public Moneys at New
York, has been displaced by Lois
DuPlessen, a white man. Mr Cohen is
the leader of the regular Republican
organization of the state, while Pearl
Wight is the leader of the illy-white.
The people of the United States will
await with much interest the promised
revolt of the white clerks in the Hono-
ton internal revenue office, now that
Cottrall has been confirmed and will
soon take charge. The list will doubt-
less be a large one, or if there is one
thing more than another that a white
man dearly loves to do it is to resign
a political job. The bigger the job the
reader he gives it up.
For the first time in many years the legislature of West Virginia has no colored member from Fayette county nor from any other county. The Resonor from any other county. The Resonor from Jim Harris to tricking each other while Jim Harris to good and John Gilmer were off watch, and brought on confusion. The fact is, he seems to be a general searcher of Republicans of any shade in the present legislature.
"Senator Jack is going back to Ohio soon," said A. Sutherling, a manufacturer of Akron, yesterday at the Walldorf, but who is traditional luck the chances are that something better than a sponsorship will come his way. In fact, in Washington the other came across a well known lawyer from someone who had been getting aquainted there and who said Dick knew more than he and other men down there. And would it be
But the truth is that he died. In Dick's career great disappointments had followed by him. He was county auditor and had served for over three years each when he thought it would be able to state and audit the safety of $4,000, was a great deal to him in those days. There were two factions in Redemption, one in Ohio in those days, and Dick allied with the Hanna faction. That year the Faction won and Dick did not get the nomination. Soon afterward Stephen Northway, representative in congress from the Nineveh, died. Dick stood for his place in the

Had the South achieved freedom in 1865, impoverished, exhausted, welled down by a great war debt, hampered in industry and in international relations, incubus of slavery, what would have been history? We may only know what its history was. Its population has nearly been the whites increasing more rapidly than the Negroes. Texas has grown since 1600 more than its entire population to
1860, and has jumped from the twenty third state to the fifth. Florida's people have more than quintupled.
So difficult in mining and manufactures as to hamper it greatly in the war, the South has now flourishing industries. Its agriculture has become far more diversified, yet its great staple棉花 has grown more than tripped the five-year erage of 1866-60, and the "Cotton States" are growing far more rapidly than the Middle West. No city of its rank has paralleled the marvelous increase in ten percent of birmingham, Ala., which in 1868 did not exif. In education, white immigration, railroads, the South has been transformed within two decades.
And the nation as a whole has grown in city years far more truly a nation. In city years it has becomeulous, prosperity is more diversified, has all but departed from political disasters. And perhaps there has not been under the war when the statesman unilateral of war was so needed in Washington as now likely to win the gratitude of the North.
Tribute to Bishop Grant
Editor of the New York Age
The Sunday Club, First A M. E. Church of Gary, wishes to say through your columns that we deeply deplore the boss so valuable a man as our beloved deceased Abram Grant, whose worthy life has proven him to be a Moses for the most one who possessed exceptional ability placing the Negro in the proper light before other people of this and other countries. We pray that at the call there shall be another to answer and take up the work that was so nobly carried on by our beloved bishop and thereby further the progress of the Negro race

I take a constant reader of your est-

liberty to address this letter to you.
If your issue of January 26 I read on your editorial page which referred to another article on the same page in reference to the same subject. The reference is 750,000 "Odd Fellows pledging themselves to support President Taft and his administration.
In my dear air, I am a member in good standing of the G. U. O. of F. O. and I must say that when I read the articles in your paper I was very surprised. If I ever gave my consent to a member of the G. U. O. of F. O. I was pleased with President Taft's administration and I have been in a trance. The first I heard of me when I read your paper, and between one, you and the gate post, I as additional member of the G. U. O. of F.

In the Rhinehead, N.Y., planet of January 28, a Washington (C.D.) dispatch says "Booker T. Washington and his firm race policy were documented in bitter terms to an immense force in the Metropolitan A. M. B. Church Tuesday night, and every utterance of the speaker was applauded to the crowd."
The speaker was E. H. Morris, as the lawyer and an ex-member of the Illinois legislature. It is very evident from the discussions it is from other publications that those who are most bitterly opposed to the excellent ideas of Dr. Washington for the protection of his people are all outraged at the lack of his employment, who would require the public of their region to talk without consultation in the building up of Tuskegee. Dr. Washington, who erected a monument of fame for his work through the coming ages and was there through the people whom he worked with, are the only entity of any tim. The organized defenders of the Washington are in print, and the soldiers who use the script of the Scripture are the end of Christian religion. This are not only the subject of Tuskegee, but Dr. Washington is an important benefactor of the people they fell to find salvation.

WHY GOD CARES FOR MAN. The Divine Program For Human Salvation Is Only Beginning.

Brooklyn, N. Y.
February 5.
Brooklyn Academy of Music was crowded today to hear Pastor Russell on God's mindfulness of man from the text,
"What Is Man,
That Thou Art Mindful of Him?"
(Psalm vili, 4.) The large audience listened with intense interest, so that a pin-drop could have been heard.
The speaker said—
For some weeks our city will be in the throes of a "Revival of Religion." Hundreds of ministers have placed themselves and their congregations under the leadership of the Rev. Dr Chapman and Mr. Alexander, the famous singer, for the purpose of reviving religion, for the purpose of rescuing human souls from eternal torment, as the proposition is generally understood. Business men have subscribed large sums of money for this noble purpose, reasoning that if thousands of dollars are spent in fire-fighting apparatus for the protection of human life for a few years, the services oflessers, Chapman and Alexander will be cheap if they carry away twenty thousand dollars for a month's work, provided the results show a goodly number rescued from eternal torment.
We sympathize with some of these large-hearted and open-handed busi-
ness men who give their money for so landable an object. Yet we can not think that many, nay not even a majority, of those who contributed this sum have done so conscientiously. We cannot think that one-half of them believe in the teaching of eternal torture, nor can we think that more than one-tenth of them believe that a practical conversion is signified by a response to an invitation which implies a preference for heavenly bliss rather than for eternal anguish. However, it is for those who pay the money to exercise their own consciences in this matter, and it is none of our business what they decide.
}
We sympathize also with the hundreds of Pastors of this city who have joined in this movement, which they hope will increase their congregations and church revenues, but these Pastors know in reality that the Bible does not teach eternal torment, and they have discarded the Bible anyway in favor of Higher Critical Infidelity. Their is an unhappy and stultified position.
We sympathize still more with the poor people whose education along spiritual lines is almost wholly neglected and who live in constant fear of the trial who loves them and in dreadful misunderstanding of the Bible which he has given them. Between the imperfectness of the translation and the coloring of prejudice and the twist of misunderstanding of some parables and symbols they are helpless in the presence of education men who teach inferentially what they do not themselves believe. Alas* no* "commun-people"* that you should be betrayed by those in whom you re-possidence and whom you unwittingly pay for keeping you in the dark by taking from you the key of knowl-edge. "True" "My people perish for lack of a wedge" (Hosea iv. 0)
Sympathize Still More With God.
By these we sympathize with God, whose name is dishonored whose Justice, Wisdom Love and Power are honored, nay, valued. We say, How wonderful the patience, which for centuries has been, is the good character and Dignity of the Ages! Well does he be as the heavens are higher than the earth, so his plans and method is perfect to our salvation are ours not lower. Well does that human fear to war be the presents of mercy to his Word (as lab is to his Word (as We can see reasons why we kept along toward the judge so long delayed to come who knew her ter, the great and holy name represent the Divine purpose
We should shepherd our children found misleading the children by giving them into poisonous possession. We believe that he would not shepherd from them, even though he loved them still to shepherd their possessions. And it is quite our thought to such a judgment impends ever to the children and that all shepherd herds and their trust, will be dismissed unanimously, and that very soon.
Some people that we should do evil in order to obtain good results; that we should not represent the Divine character in order to get people to join the Church. Is it urged that some may, as a result of this evangelistic movement, lead a more orderly and
ADVERTISE IN THE AGE
Decent life hereafter as citizens, and that we should be willing to join in traducing our Creator, in order to obtain this result? We answer, No, a thousand times, No! In our judgment the perversions of the Truth, the dishonoring of our Maker, the instilling of misconceptions into the minds of the people, is an awful cost to pay, even if the results should be a hundred times as great as promised. Well did Jesus say, "Ye compass sea and land to make one proxelyte and when he is gained, you make him two-fold more a child of destruction than yourselves" (Matthew xxiii, 15). The conversions achieved by misrepresentations of God instil a polson into the heart difficult to eradicate, impervious to the Truth.
It grieves me to be obliged consequently thus to characterize a movement which has, at least, an outward appearance of godliness. It will attract to me the venom of those whose hypocrisies I criticize. It is not the money that they will collect that grieves me, for those who give it honestly, thinking thus to serve the Lord, will surely be blessed by him. It is the hypocrisy of the thing, the misrepresentation of their own belief and unbelief and the slander against the holy name of the Creator and the further bambooating and throwing of dust into the eyes of the common people—this awakens, and should awaken, righteous indignation. And the more others do not speak, the more I must speak in denunciation and in warning to the people to search the Scripture and become undecelved.
Hearken Now to Our Text
The teachings of all of the creeds of the "Dark Ages" which have come down to us, although they contain many good things, are so begged with misrepresentations of God as to be a stench to our nostrils and a menace to our spiritual health. They picture to us a God either reckless and careless of the future interests of his human creatures, or as powerless to aid any but the few. They picture to us millions going down to torture during the four thousand years before Jesus came into the world to seek and to save that which was lost. They picture to us that since his coming only a handful, comparatively, of the human family have become his disciples, footstep followers, "Meet for the inheritance of the saints in light." All the others, according to our Protestant creeds, Calvinistic and Arminian, have gone down to eternal torture. From this standpoint it is that Dr. Chapman and Mr. Alexander are the heroes of the hour, saving a few more whom God would have otherwise neglected, or, as some might say, saving them in spite of Divine force coordination to the contrary.
But what say the Scriptures? Does the Bible substantiate such theories? Nay, navi! In harmony with our text, the entire Bible reveals to us a God as infinite in his Wisdom and Power as in his Justice and Love. Our text tells us that he is mindful of his creatures—humanity. He was mindful in the very beginning when he created man and foreknew his fall. Away back there he foretold that "the Seed of the woman should ultimately bruise the Serpent's head." Away back there he indicated his Divine purpose, in due time, to redeem man from destruction (not from eternal torment, for one were sacrificed to torment).
The skins which covered the nakedness of our first parents cost the lives of animals, and thus God typically prophesied "better sacrifices" for the perfect man, of man's sin and shame, of man's disobedience with the nation of Israel, of he give numerous types of forest, of the later blessings, following of the latter sacrifices of the antitys. Amen and Day—blessing all the forms of the earth.
God will satisfaction of man's interests all the time because or forty two centuries, during that long period, was actually accomplished. The salvation was purposeful, was pleased, was assured but must be waited for until God due time.
Reconciliation by "Better Sacrifices."
When Jesus appeared the world was still still, the one little nation of Israel was still under Ibylne condeignation because of sin they cause their type of crimes were insufficient and more foreshadows of the better sacrifices, which God was mindful later to bring to pass.
The better sacrifices are not yet conceived, though nearly so, we believe they consist of the Man Christ Jesus, who gives himself a "Ransom for all" and a soof of the faithful few who he has sacrificed as his disciples and who are waiting in his steps "presents their bodies living anricles, lives and acceptable to God," through the theologer (Rom xl. 11), God is minister of humanity. He is given his responsibility thus to minister. The theory that God shall be responsibility and allows the almost thousand who die daily to die unto eternal torment because of earthiness or indifference on our part, if not true is not Scriptural.
God affirms his own responsibility for every feature of his Plan. He declares, "My Word that is gone forth out of my mouth shall not return unto me void, it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (Lantah is, 11). Hence we should understand that God sent no message to convert the world during the first forty-one hundred and fifty years after Adam's creation, because he did not will the world to be converted them. He had no message for the world. His time had not come. St. Paul refers to this, saying, "The times of that ignorance God winked at" (took no notice of). But now, since the death of Jesus, the Just for the unjust, and the opening up of possibilities for a future life through a resurrection, God commands all men everywhere to repent. And all who become disciples of Jesus are piv
flagged to be ambassadors for God, to convey to all who he the hearing ear a message of God's mercy—to bind up the broken-hearted, to declare the acceptable year and the opening of the prison doors.
But the work in the present time is restricted. Not all could possibly be blessed now—and the elect must have an ear to hear and must be "drawn of the Father" and must walk in the Master's footsteps and thus become copies of God's dear Son. This is the only work that far, and it is not to the world, but to the few who have the hearing ear and who leave the world to become followers of Jesus.
"The High Calling In Christ."
"The High Calling in Christ."
The Bible calls that now God is sending forth a "high calling in Christ." Those called during this Gospel Age are called to walk in Jesus' footsteps as saints, "presenting their bodies living sacrifices," suffering with their Master and for his cause. The promise to all these is that: if faithful, they shall share with the great Redeemer his Messianic Throne which is yet to bless the world. To this Bridegroom the Redeemer will be the Bridegroom, Lord and Head. Sharing his sufferings they will share his exaltation to the divine nature and its glory, honor and immortality. And these will participate in the glorious Messianic work soon to begin.
"Let God Be True"—Others Liars.
If evangelists and others would preach this "narrow way" of the Gospel of Christ, how we would rejoice with them, and how soon would the true knowledge of God's love spread over the world and appeal to the hearts of all! How gladly we would have them join us in this message and in the further message that God's Plan in the next Are will reach Adam and all of his posterity—"every man," just and unjust—living and dead! They should be told of the "Times of Restitution" that are nearing. They should be advised that if they neglect the "high calling," the "election" now in progress, they will, nevertheless, have responsibility and be liable for stripes or punishments, in proportion as they know right from wrong and wilfully do the wrong.
What we plead for is that the educated ministers and laymen should cease to do evil, cease to misrepresent and traduce our gracious Creator. We warn them that he will not hold guiltless those who take his name in vain—will not hold guiltless those who atrociously mutil his name.
The Great Revival Coming.
As for methods for the calling of the "elect" in this Age, we urge that neither we nor others are wise enough to improve upon the methods and practices of Jesus and the Apostles. We urge that any deviation from their Gospel of "good tidings of great joy for all people" must be injurious. We urge that we of today should preach, as St. Peter did at Pentecost, not only of the "high calling" of the Church, but also of the world's blessing—"Times of Restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began" (Acts III. 1923)
We urge that such a general presentation of Divine Justice would appeal to all true hearts and heads in the present time much better than any "expedency" preaching and prepare all mankind the better for the future as well as for the present life
The great revival of religion will come to the world immediately following the great time of trouble with which this Gospel Age is shortly to end. Then, under the blessing of Messiah's Empire, all the ignorance and superstition and misrepresentation of God and of his Plan will flee away before the presence of the Sun of Right-earness, which will illuminate the world.
Then will come God's time for blessing the world. His Kingdom, established in the world with power and great glory, will rule it with a rod of iron, compelling prompt obedience to the Divine Law, both in letter and in spirit. The obedient will be helped upward and will progress step by step to perfection, while the rebellious, after proper testing and provings, "will be destroyed from amongst the people" in the "Second Death."
Why should we not tell the people plainly that there is a special salvation now in progress and that a common or general one will follow for the nonest? Why not explain to them the great reward of the present tinkling joyfulness with Messiah in the Kingdom for which we pray, "The Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as in heaven?" Why not explain to the world that restitution is the portion of all who do not choose to sacrifice, but that, according to their present course, upward or downward, will be their staircase, future more or less disrupted and requiring more or less of chastisements or strips, disabilities for their extrication for their unplitting.
Much better could we understand the giving of money to tell mankind the Truth and to glorify the name of our God and our Redeemer. But we are totally at a loss to comprehend the attitude of those who give time and money for a little outward show and the grievous inward injury to the many through a micropresentation of their Creator and his Word.
To the out of Church millions whom I address through the newspapers weekly I suggest that the power of the Truth is love, and that faithfulness to our Lord and to his Message in the Bible are the two greatest privileges that could possibly come to any of us, and that we should each and all unite hearts and voices in "showing forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light." Thus we may be helpful to other wanderers seeking "the Way, the Truth and the Life." "The Love of God constrains us."
CHARLES BANKS MAKES STATEMENT.
Tells of Sound Condition of Bank of Mound Bayou, whose Crests by Giving Information About Institution.
Mound Bayou, Miss., February 6.—Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, has written a letter to the Rochester Sentinel, setting the paper right relative to several incorrect statements made by the paper regarding the condition of the bank.
The letter:
To the Editor of the Rochester Sentinel:
I notice in your issue of the 21st inst., a reference to The Bank of Mound Bayou. You refer to the item in statement showing over $700 loaned to officers, directors and stockholders. You will note that but Little is loaned Seven Hundred ($700) dollars is loaned to officers, who are also directors and stockholders. When given them when they are regular depositors of the bank, and when their collateral is satisfactory. We do not, however, lend on stock certificates, but take collateral which is loaned to them in this section. People usually deposit money where they may get accommodations, if needed. We therefore work to get the good accounts among our directors and hold them the same as we would anyone else.
Now, as to our cash reserve. You perhaps overlook the fact in our statement that we have time deposits amounting to Twenty-seven Thousand ($27,000) Dollars, and we have time deposits amounting to a chck of Seventy-nine Thousand ($79,000), we have sight exchange amounting to Thirty five Thousand ($35,000) Dollars. It will be hard to find a better showing in the statement of any of the banks in the country, as cash item is small, but in this section, the cotton, lumber and native traffic are handled largely in checks and drifts, and we keep practically all our funds in the money centers with our correspondence payable in cash change which we are drawing daily, and we receive shipments of currency daily.
Now touching our overdraft item, this was secured and represented advances on cotton left by farmers who did not care to sell at current prices, and cotton is almost the only item disposed of at any minute. All banks advance on cotton in this section in this way to any amount they can stand. In fact, in this section, cotton is money. If you will link into account our available cash assistance, you will find that our statement shows a sound institution of which any people should be proud.
Yours truly,
Signed) CHARLES LANKS,
Cashier.
The Bank of Mound Bayou is considered one of the most reliable banking institutions in Mississippi.
ALBANY NOW THE CENTER
For the First Time in Many Years Politics Chooses Capital City—Chief Lee Chesnais and Does Out Quaintly, But Everybody Knows When He Has Been Around.
circular Correspondence of The Ace
Allanay, Feb 7.—Those who should know apparently do not know at this writing the final outcome of the senatorial contest. The breach between the regulars and the insurgents widens from day to day. According to Bishop Ludden, the failure of the majority to elect Mr. Sheehan is due to race and religious prejudices. This goes to show that there are others as well as Afro-American men who are the mainstay of race hatred. The insurgents, as a matter of course, deny with apparent indignation the reverend gentleman's accusation. However, the bishop seems to be in the same frame of mind as the insurgents, and her well—andriterates his statement.
The German, the Irish, the French, the Jew, and, in fact, almost all races, however fortunate or favored they may be, are confronted at one time or another by this monster—race prejudice. The weaker member of society is the greater sufferer, but the strong com- plete or occasional bitter drought. In tolerance begets intolerance, bigotry, bitterness, hatred, hatred, persecution, persecution. We often look for the reverse, but seldom see it. All these stronger members of society lay aside their differences, at times, long enough to unite in a common crusade against the weaker member. While this may be a difficult task, it is apprehending and unpopular to decide with the fellow "who is down," and few, very few, will face popular sentiment. Misery like company, and often there is just a little bit of satisfaction in watching the indignation expressed by those who run up against the same set of discrimination that makes it difficult to deal out to others. If you will dance, it is no more than fair to a title with the fiddler.
Chief Edward E. Lee is a frequent visitor to the Capitol and usually stops on his way up the hill at Room 301 in Albany's famous hotel. Our short acquaintance with the chief gives the impression that who he is goes after someone he is more interested in. He comes very near getting what he is after He.

MUSIC PUBLISHERS DRAWING LINE
WILL MARION COOK, the well-known composer, has written a letter to THE AGE in which he charges that colored composers and performers are being discriminated against by several white music publishers.
The letter:
To the Dramatic Editor of The Age:
A recent experience with a music publishing concern inspires me to comment on the treatment colored composers and artists receive from some of these firms. As you know, for the pas, year all my songs have been published by the Harry Von Tilzer Publishing Company. Knowing this to be my headquarters many well known colored writers, actors and singers have called on me at the Von Tilzer offices to consult about material either for use on the stage or in regard to having songs published.
The professional manager of the Von Tilzer Company, Max Window, after expressing disapproval of these visits to our books and evidences of lack of courtesy to my visitors, finally blankly informed me recently "that entirely too many spades come into the office."
Inasmuch as music of the day is to a great degree popularized by the colored performer and cafe singer, and inasmuch as the majority of music firms cater to the colored actor and singer when they have new songs. I feel that the color prejudice of Mr. Winters should be more known. I would assume that since our singing of songs helps to popularize and increase the sale, that we seek those firms where our presence is not only welcomed but eagerly sought. There are quite a number of firms which consider colored singers their most valuable asset. I have often noticed and commented on the courtesy shown them at Remclks, Wiltmark's, Ted Sniders and others. Now, the question issue is how the colored composer and performer go where they are not wanted? Yours very respectfully,
WILL MARION COOK
Objected to Presence of Colored Sing- er
While Will Marron Cook is said to be somewhat erratic in his method of transacting business at times, as are many other composers, yet his veracity has never been questioned. His reputation as a writer of marked ability is generally known, and it is hardly likely that a musician of his standing would register the charge that some of the white music publishers discriminate on account of color without good cause. It will, therefore, be presumed that the color line is being drawn and that the statement was made by Max Winslow "that entirely too many spades come into the office." For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the expressions of slang used in "Tin Pan Alley," reference made to "spades" relates to colored composers and performers.
Will Marion Cook says that the question at issue is—should the colored composer and performer go where they are not wanted? To my mind the question at issue, which does not appear to be such a complex one, should be readily answered—and in the negative. If the presence of colored artists in the Von Tiltzer establishment is obnoxious to Mr. Winslow, and if he is not particular about doing business with colored singers, his wishes should be respected and given wide circulation. It was good of him to air his views to Mr. Cook, who has been kind enough to let us understand Mr Winslow's position on the so-called race question.
The attitude of the various music publishers toward the colored performer—whether friendly or otherwise—should be regarded philosophically Their relationship and dealings involve a business proposition pure and simple, and if some of the firms are so saturated with color prejudice as to overlook the great good the colored artists can do them commercially, then it is their loss. The colored artists do not suffer. The Influence of the Colored Thespian.
There are over three thousand colored performers in the United States, and they play an important part in popularizing songs. The refusal of this small army of Thespians to sing the compositions of prejudiced publishers would be felt in the business office of any publishing house. However, it should be not only the business but the duty of colored singers to help those who are not disinclined to cater to them and to sever all business relations with those who discriminate.
It is strange that some music publishers, as well as many others, are so blind to their prejudices that they cannot see how greatly they can be benefited by catering to colored artists and colored business institutions. For instance, although The Age devotes several columns weekly in the interest of the theatrical profession, and is more widely read than any theatrical weekly published, yet the music publishers can-
When performers write into THE ACE office and give a list of songs they are singing, or when some colored writer "puts in" a song with a white publisher we are expected to do some free advertising, which proves more beneficial to the publisher than anyone else. However, it seems that free advertising is appreciated—but no other kind.
But I am diverging from the original subject. In answer again to the query of Will Marron Cook—"Should the colored composer and performer go where they are not wanted?" I have but this laconic reply to make: Not

Counsellor James L. Cartus addressed the members of the Colored Vaudeville Beneficent Association on "The Power of Organization" last Sunday afternoon at the organization's headquarters. The remarks of the speaker were very instructive and inspiring. During the afternoon Frank B. Williams sang two of his compositions and W H. Barker gave a recitation.
---
Stewart and Marshall are at the Open House, Easton, Pa., and are a big hit. Last week the Camden Post Telegraph spoke of the act as follows "Stewart and Marshall, colored, billed as 'The Natural Comedians,' were practically unknown to Camdeniens until yesterday. Last night one of the best judges of vaudeville in the city said that he liked them as well as Williams and Walker. This may seem reasonable to some, but the proof is in seeing them. There is not the slightest doubt that these performers will soon be at the top of the ladder in their line of entertainment."
CRESCENT THEATRE
Two new acts were seen at the Crescent Theatre the first part of the week, and both pleased. King and Gillam have an entertaining sister act, and Miss Gillam's singing of "Ideal of My Dreams" deserves mention. The young ladies could well afford to lengthen their costumes used in the opening number especially Miss Gillam A fraction of an inch would help matters. The Musical Vera open rather tamely but score heavily at the finish. Their best work is on the cornet and slide trombone, Miss Vers playing the latter. Condon and Doyle, who have one of the best skits that has been seen at the Crescent, repeated their success of some weeks ago.
NEW ACT PLEASE8 MANAGERS
Cole and Johnson's Sambo Girls, with Edgar Connor and Jules Smith, opened over the big time at the Alhambra Theatre last week." As the act has been given additional booking on the United Circuit it is evident that it has succeeded in favorably attracting the attention of the managers; and you know they are somewhat indifferent to colored acts nowadays—unless they "over make good." The act is very pleasing to the eye, and there is a bevy of pretty girls who wear elegant costumes and sing and dance in animated fashion. It is one of the greatest and cleanest colored acts that has been put in waundeville.

Havanas Win First Series
In the first series of the contest in Cuba for the baseball championship pennant, the Havanas carried off the Honoring being won six and lost one ending with a percentage of 85. The Almendares won five and lost two finishing with a percentage of 714 while the Fe team did not win a game Seventeen games were played, fourteen of them decisive and three a tie
The vocal hit of the act is made by Blanche Deas, formerly a chorus girl in The Red Moon Company, and who was with the Smart Set Company the first part of this season. Her singing of "Phuebe Brown" is an artful hit. Rosamond Johnson showed good judgment in selecting her to sing the song. If other colored managers of shows an acts would follow his example man ambitions and talented chorus girls would get an opportunity to demonstrate their worth.
Others in the act are Julia Coleen in Nagatha Joplin, Bessie Oliver Brun Cecil Mann and Florence Brook.

A thousand of the thousands track men throughout the middle Atlantic states. Colored athletes around New York and Philadelphia enter competition in all of the large games, but Southern boys have not been allowed this right and are therefore new at the indoor games.

Havanas Win First Series
In the first series of the contest in Cuba for the baseball championship pennant, the Havana carried off the honors, having won six and lost one, ending with a percentage of 55'. The Almendares won five and lost two, finishing with a percentage of 714, while the Fe team did not win a game. Seventeen games were played, fourteen of them decisive and three a tie. Havana, the series winner, captured six games, lost one and figured in two ties. Havana's only defeat was inflicted by Almendares, 7 to 2, on January 5. The Fe team did not get away with a single win, but was in two tie games.
Fe and Havana played a nine-inning tie, 3 to 3, on December 29, the third game of the series, and Fe fought Almendares a twelve-inning tie, 1 to 1 on January 21. Havana and Almendares played a nine-inning tie, 1 to 1, on January 9, and a 5 to 5 tie on January 26, going eleven innings.
The second series of fifteen games was to have begun on Sunday last with Havana and Fe pitted against each other.
It is generally believed that Havanna will capture the flag, as "Sam" Lloyd who quit the nine in a huff a few weeks ago, is expected to rejoin the team.
Capt. Grant Johnson ("Home Run") of the Havanna Reds has been signed by Owens Walter Schlchter of the Philadelphia Grizzlies to play his team this season. Other players play them in Cuba, including Lloyd, Barber, Poles Petway and Pierce, will accompany him.

Booker T Washington Tells Audience at Ethical Culture Hall That Sentiment is Growing in the South for Negro Education.

A half dozen years ago, however, began a campaign through the Southern States for as Oklahoma our aims on these trips were speak directly and frankly to the Southern white people informing them of our methods and the importance of giving the Negro a generous share of the public good.

Hampton and Tuskegee supervise the government of the farm Hampton is work of Virginia and M. Tuskegee is a farm. M. Tuskegee is a Negro confederate farmer's institute. M. Tuskegee is the Rev W. H.
