Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXIV. No. 24 LEE BANQUET A NOTABLE EVENT Leader of United Colored Democracy Honored by Friends and Admirers Republicans and Democrats Vie With Each Other in Endeavor to Pay Chief Tribute Chief Lee Presented With Tiger Head Pin Studded With Diamonds—Prominent White Tammany Leaders Present. Chief Edward E. Lee, leader of the United Colored Democracy of New York, was tendered a complimentary banquet by friends and admirers at Palm Garden Monday evening that warmed the cockles of his heart—an occasion which will prove memorable in time to come in more ways than one. Those who had the good fortune to be present, as well as hundreds of others, will be able to refer with pride in the days to be of a banquet which is bound to be historic in its significance. Negro Republican leaders throughout the country are quite often banqueted in lordly style by members of their race as evidences of the high esteem in which they are held, but it was not until last Monday evening in New York City did a representative gathering of colored men, irrespective of politics, race, color or creed assemble to pay tribute to a Negro Democrat, one who, just a little over ten years ago, was severely criticised by many of his race for allying himself with the local Democracy of New York City. All Party Lines Obliterated. The banquet was truly a non-partisan affair in every sense. All party lines were obliterated, all race, religious and social questions temporarily forgotten. There were present men of various shades of politics, men of different races and in all walks of life met around the festal board in social converse and broke bread with unity as the watchword, to honor Chief Lee, not as a Negro, not as a Democrat, but as a man. The statement that the banquet was of a non-partisan nature would never be doubted by those familarly acquainted with those active in the Negro life of Greater New York. The hostmaster was Fred R. Moore, editor of Titie New York Avr, which paper is known as the strongest advocate of Republican principles in this country, while the address of welcome was made by Collector Charles W. Anderson, the Republican leader. Then, with Superintendent of Elections John R. Voorhis and such well known white Tammany district leaders as John F. Curry and William Dalton and Alderman John McCann in attendance, it is evident that aside from the occasion being non-partisan it was also non-racial. Palm Garden was especially decorated for the occasion, and before the seat of the guest of honor was placed a large bouquet of American Beauties, which was the gift of Mr. Gardenen During the evening the banquets were aided in their pleasant endeavors at mastication by the strains of sweet music, furnished by Walter F. Craig's orchestra Fred R. Moore as Toastmaster. Toastmaster Fred R Moore opened the oratorical end of the program by making a number of pleasing references to the political life of Chief Lee Invocation was next asked by Bishop Alexander Walters. Letters of regret were read by Counsel C W McDougald. Among those expressing regret at their inability to be on hand were Booker T. Washington, Mayor Gaynor, Thomas F. Smith, Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, J C Napier, the new Register of the Treasury, Col. H. A. Rucker of Atlanta, Ga; Thomas F. Smith, secretary of Tammany Hall; J. E. Bush, receiver of the United States Land Office, Little Rock, Ark., J Madison Vance of New Orleans, La; Congressman Thomas E. Patten, John M Royall, Dr. S A Furniss of Indianapolis, Ind., and Walter M Herbert. A telegram was received from Thomas Fleming, J. Frank Wheaton, Welcome T. Blue, George A Meyers and Charles A. Gordon, who were guests at a banquet in Cleveland, O, on the same evening. A telegram was also received from Counsel John William Smith. Gaynor and Washington Letters. Mayor Gaynor's letter, regretting his inability to attend the banquet, was as follows: City of New York. Office of the Mayor. March 9, 1911 Dear Mr. Moore It would give me great pleasure to attend the dinner in honor of Mr. Lee, but owing to the condition of my throat and voice, I have been obliged to refrain from going to such dinners. Fred R. Moore. 247 West 46th Street, New York. The New York Age Dr. Booker T Washington's letter read: I am in receipt of the invitation requesting my presence at the banquet to be held in honor of "Chief" Edward E Lee, at the Palm Garden, New York City, Monday evening, March 13, 1911 I find I shall not be able to be present, as I am to be in the West at that time, in fact, on the evening of March 13th, I am scheduled to speak in Madison, Wisconsin. If I were present, however, I should want to join with you and other friends in paying tribute to the worth of our good friend, "Chief" Lee. My heartiest congratulations to "Chief" Lee, yourself, and other friends gathered in his honor. Yours very truly, (Signed) BOOKER T WASHINGTON. Mr Charles W Anderson, Custom House, New York, N. Y. Chief Lee's Response to Address of Welcome. In welcoming the guest of honor, Collector Charles W Anderson made a happy address, abounding in witticisms. He stated that he had learned that a political leader followed rather than led his forces, and that the lot of a leader was oftimes a hard one, that there are always at least ten applicants for every political job, and that while a leader makes one friend in the man for whom he secures the appointment, he makes ten enemies. Collector Anderson spoke in glowing terms of Chief Lee and declared that while he was very fond of the Chief as a friend and neighbor, yet he feared him and kept an eye on him as a dangerous political adversary. Chief Lee's response was full of rugged philosophy, given without ornamental viability or rhetorical varnish He said in part: Mr Toastmaster and gentlemen For four long weeks I have been studying and rehearsing a speech which I planned to make on this notable occasion, and yet when I get up here I find that I have forgotten it. However I can say this gotten — this big demonstration in my honor to tonight shows that no matter what a man's color may be, no matter with what political party he is affiliated, if he tries to do the right thing and helps humanity he will be given credit. As I look at such a representative gathering here this evening, composed of our leading citizens, I have to ask myself the question — what have I done to merit all this? I will not deny that I am deeply touched by the tribute paid me, which shows that you believe in Negro leadership and no longer feel that is a act me for a Negro to be a Democrat Chief Lee told on how he was prompted to leave the Republic party and join Tammany about fourteen years ago, when Chief Cooker was at the head of the famous political organization. He disagreed with Collector Anderson about a leader in securing an appointment made one friend and ten enemies, and said that his experience had been that he usually made one friend and a thou-sand enemies. He concluded his remarks by stating that while he had never attended school for any length of time, his fellow colored Democrats should be thankful for such a state of affairs, for if he had been an educated man he would long ago have accepted a big position for himself and not bothered about the political welfare of others. However, as he was unable to till a position of great prominence he had devoted most of his time securing positions for others. Other toasts were "Leadership," Counsellor James L. Curtis, "Chief Lee as I Know Him," Dr P A Johnson, "The Power of Organization," Rev Reverdy C Ransom, "Chief Lee as a Man," Rev Solomon P Hood, "His Sincerity," Dr E P Roberts, "Helpfulness," D E Tohas, "Reminiscences," John I. Bell. Presented With Diamond Stud. The speech of the evening that elicited round after round of applause, and which held many spellbound, was made by Roscoe C. Simmons, who is without doubt one of the leading colored orators in the country and who has no equal in New York Mr Simmons made the presentation speech, Chief Lee being the recipient of a tiger head set with diamonds. In presenting Chief Lee with the token of esteem, Mr Simmons said in part: In honoring men we often cast pearl before swine and upon a felon's brow we place the crown of gold. Not so to night. The life of our guest is an open book, and upon its unshadowed pages are written deeds of charity, love of fellowman and a rugged unselfishness at which I marvel, since we are taught in our school of politics that those with whom we differ we should slander and that vicious gossip is more telling than gentle reason. Of the school of faith and trust Lee is head-master, and I am humble student I admire Lee, of whom time will tell more than our tongues can utter, not only because he has robbed the college of its awful superposition, but also and particularly because, if he missed the letter, certainly he did not miss the power that drew men to Bruce, that made Pinchback the mighty man of the South, that enshrined great Langston forever, that crowned unmatched Douglas, and that moves and directs the ablest and most resourceful leader any cause or race, in any time or land has claimed, since Moses held audience with glory's King on the mountains' smoky crest, and plucked from the evening stars his title and commission of leadership, written with (Continued on Page 8) NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1911. THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM EDWARD E. LEE Chief of United Colored Democracy of New York VETERAN JOURNALIST IS GIVEN TESTIMONIAL T. Thomas Fortune Principal Figure at Abyssinian Baptist Church PRESENTED WITH $316 PURSE Speeches Made Lauding Work of Negro Editor in the Past Testimonial Gotten Up by Booker T. Washington, T. Thomas Fortune's veteran, national and former editor of The New York Age, was tendered a testimonial last Friday evening at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 242 West 40th street, on which occasion he was praised for his efforts in the past in enduring to secure fair play for the Negro and was presented with a purse containing $116. The testimonial was given in honor of the distinguished writer at the instance of Booker T. Washington, who has been for many years one of Mr. Fortune's most intimate friends. Some weeks ago Dr. Washington conceived the idea of paying tribute to Mr. Fortune's worth in some fitting manner, and at first it was planned to present the writer with a loving cup. Later it was decided to make the gift a purse instead, and the friends of Mr. Fortune throughout the country promptly responded to the call sent out by the head of Tuskegee and showed the esteem in which they held the writer in the form of financial contributions. Fred R. Moore, editor of THE Age, was chairman of the testimonial committee, and the presentation speech was made by Collector Charles W. Anderson. Others on the platform were Counselor Wilford H Smith, Rev R M Bolden, pastor of Mother Zion M E. Church, and N. B Dodson. Editor Moore Praises Fortune. In opening the ceremonies Editor Moore stated that quite often tribute is paid a man only after death, but it was the aim of the true friends of T. Thomas Fortune to show him that his services as a writer had been highly appreciated while he was living Mr Moore was profuse in laudations of Mr Fortune while he was at the head of THE NEW YORK AGE, and declared that it was through the efforts of Mr Fortune that it was made possible for THE AGE to become the greatest of all Negro publications. Rev. R. M Bolden characterized Mr Fortune as the dean of Negro newspaper men, and told of how many men, who years ago, were struggling to make a mark in life had become inspired by his writings. Rev Bolden said that he claimed the distinction of not only having become inspired by the writings of Mr. Fortune, but had also received personal advice from him on several occasions—advice which had been of great benefit. Rev Bolden ended by pointing to THE AGE as the leading paper of the race, and declared that the work of Mr. Fortune on the paper should not be overlooked. N. B. Dodson also told of how he was prompted to take up journalism years ago by reading articles in THE AGE written by Mr. Fortune, a man whom he declared had never compromised on issues affecting the race, and one who had never sold out for dollars and cents. Counsellor Walford H. Smith termed Mr Fortune a foe to "Lily Whiteism" and "Jim Crowism," and said that he had done more to stimulate public sentiment than any other Negro editor. Counsellor Smith also told those in the audience of the high regard held by Booker T. Washington for Mr Fortune and why the testimonial was gotten up by Dr Washington for his old friend. Collector Ando:gon Makes Presentation. In presenting the purse to Mr. Fortune, Collector Charles W Anderson said in part, I have been a member of the party in this test month in the brave compass of Mr. Thomas Fortune. He is well placed more prominent in the hearts and mind than the editor who has written a pen on the screen of the room and he has wielded determination in his incompetence, grit, and his rare and extraordinary talents in deeds of his beliefs. With other worthy members with such feats to their race and party he has had to be content with thanks—thanks the subjugator of the poor, but through it all he has remained a force which had to be reckoned with, and one that was stubborn and unbending for right and justice. Our great leader, Doctor Booker T. Washington, with that considerate kindness which is his invited a few of Mr. Fortune's old friends to make a small contribution toward a fund for the purchase of some token that would express our regard for him, but it it was subsequently decided that it would be better to present him with the purse than to unbend on him the conventional but useless loving cup, and the pleasant duty of presenting that purse has been assigned to me. I therefore present this purse of $316 to Mr T. Thomas Fortune as a sight token of the high steem in which he is held by the race, and wish him health and happiness until the arrival of that day, which I hope is far distant, when he shall put aside his armor and surrender his pen to younger hands. Mr. Fortune was visibly affected by the words of praise and high tribute paid him, and thanked all present for the consideration shown by attending the testimonial. While he had not been active in journalism for the past four years, Mr. Fortune declared that he aspired to play a more prominent part in the future. He expressed the opinion that the race was in a more critical condition than ever before, and that today it is an intellectual fight; that the race must get intellectual men to fight and speak for it, and if it refuses to do so the Negro writers and speakers will do business with others. The last speech of the evening was made by Rev L. J. Gordon Xenia, Mar. 14—Bishop B. F. Lee, of Wilberforce College, says that the statements he is aceredited with having made at the African Methodist Episcopal Conference at Mobile, Ala, recently, in criticism of President Taft, are entirely false. He stated further that he is a supporter of President Taft and that he has never spoken against him at any time, either privately or publicly. AN EVIDENCE OF THE AGE'S BIG LOCAL CIRCULATION Figures Showing the Number of Copies Disposed of by One of This Paper's Many Agents in Greater New York ADVERTISERS: THINK IT OVER INTERNAL TROUBLES IN TRUE REFORMERS ORDER Organization Is Facing Disintegration, is Latest Report Grand Master Holmes and the Counsellor Exchange Letters—Newsome to Make Thorough Investigation. Special to The New York Age. Richmond, Va, March 14.—Judging from recent happenings affecting the future of the Grand United Order of True Reformers, there is rough sailing ahead for the organization, which is said to face disintegration. This prediction is made despite the statements of Grand Master Holmes since the savings bank has been in the hands of a receiver—statements that have made members and friends of the order optimistic over the ability of the order to rehabilitate itself Among the statements of Grand Master Holmes recently appearing in a daily telling of the condition of the True Reformers, was the following Our receipts in the savings bank of the Grand Fountain at the time it went into the hands of receivers were over $130,000. This of course prevents the organization from carrying out some of its obligations on account of checks not being paid by the bank. Aside from this the Grand Fountain owns its home office, worth $40,000, a hotel worth $10,000, and a mortgage of more than $54,000 on other property What Commissioner of Insurance Thinks. The Commissioner of Insurance for Virginia tells the representatives of the order that it is possible for the organization to rehabilitate itself, but it will have to begin anew and not look for anything from the bank and expect anything from the property holdings to relieve the situation. At the same time he has advised them to procure the services of the oldest lawyers to protect what interests the order may have. Since the claims against the order are well up into thousands of dollars, the statement of Col Button somewhat reveals the fact that the statements of Mr Holmes as quoted will not stand. Another setting price of information given to public is that the board of the order's timeage will at the authority of the Grand Fountain, enveyed to the Repsons. Bunk carton pieces of property which was understood by the members of the order to have been the property of the order and lasted. This has been held for proof by law litigation. Referring to a meeting held by the executive committee of the order, which was held February 27, and the attitude of carton officials toward Counsel J. Thomas Newsome, who was elected attorney for the fraternity at the recent extra session of the society, a report in the Limt is as follows: He. Newsome immediately notified Grand Master Holmes that he had come to take charge of his office and that he would do so at once and that news came like a bomb and his request was not complied with. Newsome Claims Views were Disregarded. In the meantime, a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors was called Monday, February 27, 1911, and this committee deeded all of the property of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, throughout the country, to the Savings Bank, United Order of True Reformers, or rather to the receivers of the full property on Sec. 2nd street and be sure Reformers hall property, 6th and Baker streets, were not included in the conveyances. Those composing the committee are Measrs A W Holmes, W P Burrell, W T John- REV REVERDY C. RANSOM son, John E. Merriweather, Joseph Ward. When Attorney Newsome learned that this had been done he promptly disavowed responsibility for such action and notified the True Reformer officials accordingly. His pleas were disregarded, however, and he proceeded to consult with ex-Governor A J Montague and to retain him as counsel to represent the order. In the meantime Lawyer J C Robertson was acting attorney for the order and his action was highly displeasing to Mr Newsome. He notified him to vacate the office at once, which notice was not regarded at that time. Excerpts from a letter from Mr Newsome to Mr Holmes, the head of the fraternity are quite significant. They are: I am taking the occasion to write you this letter to say to you that from all sources has come to me the information that you were hostile to the Reformers, and that even since my election you have allowed serious blunders to be made in the department over which I have control, which are likely to involve the entire order in a maze of legal entanglements. Your objection to me, I am sure, was based upon the assumption that I am a firebrand, likely at any time to act with such haste as to incriminate innocent people in matters with which they are in no wise connected. This is not my purpose. I am frank to say that I shall suffer nothing to stand between me and what I conceive to be my duty to the True Reformers and the Negro race. A notice in the Newsome is an objection law and is endorsed by the best legal client in the State. There is no question of his ability, and the sentiment in Richmond is if he will go down to the bottom of affairs in the organization and make a thorough investigation and let the so fall where it may and expose the just cause of the fraternity he will be doing the race a great service. NAMED ASSOCIATE JUSTICE T McCants Stewart Appointed a Member of Supreme Court of Liberia—Formerly Practiced Law in New York. THE Age is in receipt of a letter from T McCants Stewart, which states that the former New Yorker has been appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia Mr Stewart practiced law in New York for many years and was at one time a member of the Board of Education of Brooklyn. The new Associate Justice has been codifying the laws of the African Republic for the last three years and has lived in Liberia seven years. He is the only American on the Supreme Court bench, and his appointment by President Barclay, of Liberia, is regarded as an effort to encourage American investors by the assurance that their rights will be guaranteed under the law. Mr Stewart, who was graduated at Princeton University, has written several lawbooks. He is about 60 years old. Has Largest Circulation REV.R.C.RANSOM ANSWERS CRITICS Well Known Divine Writes Long Letter for Publication in The Age Says That the Office of Bishop is No More Holy or More Sacred Than That of Elder. Claims He Was Standered—Produces Letter From Bishop Turner, Showing Pref. Council Sought Reconciliation. Rev Reverdy C Ransom, pastor of Bethel A M. E. Church, New York City, and who is recognized as one of the ablest ministers in the United States, has written the following letter to THE Age in answer to several attacks recently made on his character and qualifications as a proper candidate for the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church. The letter. To the Editor The New York Age: While your favorable mention of my name for the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church has caused me to receive many personal endorsements from men and women of prominence in every section of the country, my attention has been called to the fact that your position has been strongly challenged by certain publications, which have attacked my character and qualifications, both as a minister and a man. I assured that your gracious commendation, which was as unexpected by me as it was unsought, is received in the same spirit of appreciation in which it was given. I have never sought the bishopric. I do not seek it now. I consider it not an office to be sought, but one for which a man should be chosen by his brethren when they feel themselves to be acting under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I did not seek the calling of a minister of the Gospel. God chose me and put me into the ministry. When God moved persuasively and with deep conviction upon my mind and spirit, I obediently surrendered to His divine command and did not enter the work of the Christian ministry without he feels that he cannot help it. If his ministry becomes barren, or if the spirit of God shows him that the Lord has set him aside, however long he may have been in the ministry, he should have the honesty to get out of it. "Office of Bishop Greatly Exaggerated." The A M E Church and kindred denominations, with our secret and beneficial lodges and societies, are about the only fields left to the American Negro where he can show his capacity for self-government, or freely exercise his talents or abilities and find an outlet for his aspirations and ambitions. This serves to account for the great flood tide of self-seeking and rivalry for office, which breaks in upon us with the approach of each General Conference. The office of a bishop has been exaggerated out of all proportion to any warrant for which it may be found in the New Testament. The office of a bishop is no more sacred or holy than that of an elder. A man who is unfit for the office of a bishop is not fit to be an ordained elder, provided character, intelligence and administrative ability are equal. But because of the mature of their duties, the value and kindness of their do and say, and the large fields of their influence, all persons who are being considered for the bishopric should be scanned in regard to character, intelligence, capacity, honesty, integrity, unselfishness, gentleness, firmness, meekness, breadth of public spirit and love for humanity. And now, Mr Editor, I would both the commendation and the opposition which have been evoked by your mention of my name in this connection, pass without public comment or retort, if I were the only one affected. God knows my most merciless critic, my strongest opponent, does not go before me when I consider how often I have failed, and how far I have come short of rendering to my Lord the service which was due me, a sinner by grace. But many considerations, I think the time when come when I should speak, because of the love and confidence which are given my by the church and people whom I serve; because I have a son, who at the call of God, is preparing to enter the ministry, and because of my wife, who for nearly twenty-five years, has been more to me than Sarah was to Abraham, Rachel to Jacob, or Ruth to Boaz. Recalls Visit to Normal, Ala. Five Years Ago. It is sought to revive the painful incidents connected with my visit to Normal, Ala., some years ago, when I wont at the invitation of Prof. W. H. Council to address his school. The allegation was and is, in short, that I talked in French with a white woman on the sleeping car, took her in the dinner to dinner, for which I was set upon and beaten by white men, that I came to Normal, Ala., drunk, and went to bed with my overcoat and shoes on, for which cause I was sent away.

Brooks filled the pulpit and delivered a searching sermon from Romans 8:16; subject: "The Dignity of the Christian. It is a great thing to be a Christian. You must begin to compare with the honor and dignity of being a Christian. 'I care little about your dominational likes or dislikes,' said the preacher, and pray God to make you a Christian about our church or creed—but are you a Christian that is the question." Men and women are sacrificing all that is high and grand and noble for things that are not satisfaction. For one night's pleasure we often sacrifice the highest and best that we possess. The entire wealth of this world cannot compare with the dignity and honor of our true faith. We cannot not destroy our personality. The conversion of Paul did not change his temperament, but changed his inclination. Instead of being easily excited in the wrong direction the Christian is easily excited in the right direction. God always co-operates with every individual in all legitimate lines of endeavor. Our minds are the medium through which action takes place. Our Spirit is the medium through which facts are brought to our souls. Our spirit mingles with the spirit of God and things to us the things of God. It is the still small voice of God whispering within toll The Sunday School was well attended and much interest was manifested At the Lyecem hour praise services were held.

O Haynes preached morning and evening to a splendid audience. His subject in the evening was "Sinful Pleasures." He treated the subject masterly and interestingly. At the close he told his audience he was on time in accordance with the time he was forced to begin services owing to the fact that so many of his members had to work for the members of the white churches and could not come early and he was ready to fly right and left in protection of the ministry and the church. Too many, he said, go from church to church finding fault and have not connected or joined any church and whenever they do come they are late.

Dr. Wm P Lawrence is pastor, a public installation of officers of the Progressive B. & L. Association of The Oranges (Incorporated January 18) were installed by Fred R. Moore of The New York Age. The speaker of the evening was Rev Wm. A. Creditt of Philadelphia. He was very proud indeed in having the pleasure of addressing the people of the Oranges, and especially upon the subject of B. & L.'s since he was so much interested in one at his home, and it had only been organized five years, and in that time they had secured twenty-two homes for their members. He stated that most preachers simply believed in teaching their people how to prepare to secure a home in the great world beyond, but he was one of those preachers who also believed in teaching his people how to secure a home on earth, so they might better appreciate the one beyond. He appealed to the people present and fifteen shares were subscribed for. The purchasing of property he said makes one a factor in the community and encourages your white neighbors to help you, because they see you are trying to help yourself. Total shares subscribed for to date, 132, valued at $26,400. At the conclusion of his address an informal banquet was served in the Sunday School rooms by one of the ladies' auxiliaryes of the church.

THROWS LIGHT ON ODD FELLOWS' LOOT Angolan Being Added by Houston, Davia and Needham - Overcharges Relative to Traveling Expenses Broadway to Two New Years Am. Washington, D. C., March 16.—In the nature of articles to follow it shall be the purpose of the writer to set down nothing in malice, but to give a clear, unmarried and a somewhat chronologically arranged statement of succinctive operations of the little coterie of men who apparently are banded together for the purpose of looting the United Order of Odd Fellows of America. We start with, it is hard to understand how a man like the present head of the order could possibly succeed in building the many intelligent and thoughtful men who make up the membership in this organization. Here is a man who has not the confidence of the colored people of Chicago where he lives, who does not affiliate with colored churches, nor does he have any knowledge in Chicago that he for their object the moral and rebellious uplift of the colored man. He passes all understanding how a man of this character can delude and expose himself upon the masses of colored people outside of Chicago. As an institution in Chicago, the following picture of him is reprinted from the report made by the Legislature's Voter League of Cook County, under date of October 20, 1892: H. H. Morris, born in 1859, lived in Chicago since 1870; first elected to the State Legislature in 1891. His political associates have been given aid of the worst elements of his party and to further his own private interests. Almost every colored man of any prominence in Chicago, during the recent endeavor to raise $50,000 among the colored people for the erection of a public library, really toward this fund; not a dollar, far as we can learn, came from Edward H. Morris. This is not the d thing that he is interested in. The gamblers of Chicago are not interested in Young Men's Christian Association building, and for Morris Mr. Morris has been the paid attorney of gamblers. Whenever a Young Men's Christian Association Building goes up that means that there will be fewer gamblers in Chicago; fewer gamblers in Chicago means less money for Mr. Morris. So much for Morris as an individual. Apparently joined with him in the effort to loot the treasury of this grand noble order are such men as W. L. Houston, former Grand Master, Benjamin J. Davies and other members of C. M.; Needham, present Grand Secretary, and other of that stripe. Some of the following facts may come as startling reminders to the Odd Fellows of the way funds of their order are being systematically used. To begin with, then have been overcharges in connection with the traveling expenses of S. C. M. and other members of the S. C. M. to the last four general meetings of the order, which extravagances, considering their positions as trustees of the funds of the church, practically amount to peculiar Of these peculiations, Morris and Henry Lincoln Johnson, who are the present Master and Deputy Grand Master, personal knowledge and condoned Althouse when paying full fare from Atlanta to Philadelphia and remaining in attendance upon the sessions of S. C. M. receives for his entire expenses $23.50, charged and received from the order of the President, and held in Atlantic City in September, 1908, $225 at a time when the midfare fare was greatly reduced on account of convention rates. This excessive to the extent of almost $150. W. L. Houston, then Grand Master, charged for his expenses in Atlantic City at the same meeting where Davis charged $235, the sum of $150, when he was entitled in addition to $25 and he was entitled in addition to $3 day for board for eight days. T. P. Woodland charged and received for his attendance upon this meeting, 850; there was at least $150 "graff" in this Julian C. Johnson charged and received for his expenses, more, $160; this was excessive to the extent of $75; James F. Needham charged and received for his expenses from Philadelphia to this meeting, 875, this was excessive to the extent of at least $58. In some of expense were not reported to the order separately as the laws and Regulations of the order require, but were gathered up under a general charge, "Expenses 14th M. C., $2,922.80." Of this amount it is least $1,500 was practically filched from the order. It is impossible just to estimate the exact amount which other Guests received, but they were nearly as excessive as those above specified. Continuing this story of the "footing" of the Odd Fellows, it shall be our purpose in a letter to follow to describe how the Auditing Committee was denied the privilege of uncovering this loot, how the Grand Master stood in the fury of the Funds of the Order perverted, and of the damage during the whole of the Houston administration practices of similar character were indulged in.

NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY Celered Republicans in Lower Houses to Lose Position, Is Rumor—Number of Changes to Be Made—J. C. Napier Moves to Washington. Regular Correspondence of The Ace. Washington, D. C., March 16.—With only three weeks remaining before the assembling of Congress in extra session, because of the probable attitude of the House of Representatives which Clark, the situation at the capital is deemed very complex by the leaders within the city walls. It is practically certain that the District Committees will be in the hands of Representative Johnson of Kentucky, which promises to persuade persons holding office under the District Government. The hope has been held out that while Mr. Johnson has always appeared strong-headed, he will be as reasonable as various of his Southern colleagues have been in the appropriations for colored institutions. As the time draws near for the opening of the extra session it becomes more and more apparent that the presence of colored committee messengers and a rising number of highly scour. The positions have been held by colored men from the States for decades, and there are many colored men who served through sessions previously when the Democratic party was in control of the Lower House. The number of men about to fall on a host of good men in and around the Capitol building. As far as can be ascertained at present, the only opposition which has developed to the appointment and confirmation of either Hon. J. C. Napier from sources influenced by colored persons. This opposition is not seriously considered in political circles. Mr. Napier arrived in Washington with his family last Tuesday and at once took up his abode in the Angleton Hotel, where the registrar of the register of the treasury having been put in shape for his coming. Jesse Lawson, of New Jersey, has been elected to head the movement looking toward the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the proclamation of emancipation which will be held in this city during the third week in September, 1918, and probably throughout the rest of the year.

ARGUMENT OVER DUBO18 American Members of Lyceum Club, London, Refuse to Attend Dinner at Which Negro Was to Have Been Guest. A cable to the New York World states that the dinner at which Prof. E. B. Dubois was to have been present has been declared off. The dispatch says: "The club has a weekly banquet, at which some 'bigwig' is the guest at the evening, and arranged to be on March 27 the club was as the principal guest Dr. William Edward Burghardt Dubois, the colored professor of sociology in Atlanta Uni- versity. Invited to meet him were Sir John Corkburn, a former Premier of South Australia; Sir Arthur Downes, a former President of the Uni- versity; Maurice Hawlett, the novelist; Sir Percy Bunting, the editor of the Contemporary Review; Sir Edward Bra- brook, ex-Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies, Henry Nevinson, a prominent publicist, who loves the colored and Elizabeth Robins, the novelist, an artist, who was born in Louis- ville, Ky. Some knew of Dr. Daboib's color, others did not. When the fact came to the cars of an American member of the club the trouble began. The American members made the strongest representations to the organizers of the club. They argued that the more fact that a Negro member tingled, had been entertained by a number of distinguished people of a London club would react in America and understandably would have a bad effect. The stab first took high ground, holding that Dr. Dubois was a distinguished educator worthy to sit with the cultured elect, no matter what their color. But when the American members threatened to resign in a body if Dr. Dubois were entertained the organisers changed their tone, and the projected hilt had arisen, and now it is announced that the banquet had been unavoidably postponed, a polite way of saying that it never will be held. loves company.

Dickinson, Secretary of War, in the course of an address to the Southern Commercial Congress, at Atlanta, Friday of last week, made an astounding statement with respect to the future of the colored race in America. Mr. Dickinson discloses that he is a segregationist, and that in the school of good Bishop Holsey he is an apt and loyal pupil. The voluntary removal of the "young Negro" to some distant country, or to some separate territory, there to be protected and guarded by the United States, the Columbus philosopher offers as his solution to the Problem of Problems. The secretary says When they (colored people) grow in wealth and education and still find themselves confined in their aspirations by inordinate hardship which but their economic and political progress and deny them the opportunities of citizenship, open to all others, and ambition to free themselves from conditions may it sustained by a liberal governmental policy, lead to such a movement. So brutal a recommendation coming directly from a high officer in the Republican administration might give us concern if we did not know that Mr. Dickinson was invited into the Cabinet in spite of his views touching the Negro, in spite of a life-time affiliation with the Democratic party, and in spite of the clinging prejudices that enrobed him in his Mississippi cradle. Mr. Dickinson may deserve the eminence attached to his record as a lawyer, but in his views upon public questions, world wide in importance, he discloses no qualities of a statesman. It is of no use to go into debate with Mr Dickinson with respect to what he thinks or says about the Negro. No long-sighted man, who had given serious thought to the questions involved in such a proposal the rights of property, the history of the Negro indisolubly bound up with that of the country; his record in the wars of the country; his position as the backbone of labor in the South, and the personal relations that millions of them bear to their white fellow-citizens—would venture to suggest a scheme so horrible for overturning the plans of divinity, apparent to all that seek the deeper channel of the issue. The Negro will give up his proper y surrender his rights, blot out his high record as an American citizen, and voluntarily seek a new and strained land under the American flag only when the sun rises in the west and the ocean goes dry. Involuntarily migration will be accomplished when the moral sense and courage of the ruling blood of the Union are entirely dissipated. Thinking colored men have for many years remained silent while the talk of segregation has had its periodic revival. When it engages the tongue of one so high as Mr. Dickin, he describes the attitude of the Negro towards segregation of any kind, local or national, now or ever. Mr. Dickin has a Columbus nightmare. CHARLES D. HILLES The ACE congratulates President Tait and Secretary Hilles, his new secretary Secretary Hilles knows the excellent people. He knows the best and he knows the worst. He cannot be deceived. We predict that he will pursue a straight form of many, and his course in dream of fortunes and parties. Mr. Hess is an officer on an ethical as Mr. Tott has in his administration, a successful educator, and possesses wonderful civic abilities. He certainly from Ohio, and is, therefore, a politician to the manner born. Since the days of George R. Cortelyan and William L. Lark, the office of Secretary to the President has been almost a Cabinet place, and only a strong man may hope acceptably to fill it. He must know not only how to dictate a letter and help the President put on his coat, but also how to measure influence, judge public opinion, weigh men, study the political map, and keep the President from putting on somebody else's coat. Mr. Hilles is such a man Colored Republicans are fond of Mr. Hilles and have unimited confidence in him. They believe that he will help them hold their own against the lily-white of the South, and save them from the reckless hand of Frank H. Hitehcook, who has brought good men to grief, and driven hundreds of colored men out of the Republican party, and who will drive thousands more out of the party if somebody, Mr. Hillear, or Charles P. Taft or J. Br Foraker or Roosevelt, doesn't tell the President of his pernicious activities. Salutations, Mr. Hilles, from the loyalest element in the Republican party. Heaven preserve it against its own sludpidity! FOR BISHOP, R. C. RANSOM. Since some weeks ago THE AGE suggested the propriety of elevating to the Board of Bishops the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom. The Negro press has been rather free in its comments respecting the Bishopic, and, led by the able Charleston Advocate, whose editor is neither tool nor fool, many good men have criticized THE AGE for presenting New York's great preacher. The Advocate resurrected a lot of old charges against Dr Ransom and challenged us to disprove them, when it is established everywhere among law-abiding peoples that it is no burden upon the accused to prove his innocence. The accuser must establish the guilt of the accused. We do not fight over this, and we are pleased to meet the challenge of the Advocate, and of all everywhere who may honestly inquire into the fitness of Dr. Ransom for a high office in the church, exaggerated, as he himself says, out of all proportion to its warrant. Our silence under fire and questions has been due to our desire to gather and present the facts involved in the dispute In another place in this issue of THE ACE is a statement from Dr Ransom which covers the disagreeable matter which is the substance of the controversy. It must have been painful to Dr. Ransom to go over the happenings of the period when good men stirred up anger by grievous words, and the race was feverish with criticisms. Better than THE ACE could ever do it, by pleadings or eloquence or advocacy, Dr Ransom, in simple language, states his own case. Let every honest man read what he has written, and then ask himself if the preacher deserves the respect of his fellows, and if, his qualities of mind and heart being everywhere conceded, he deserves promotion in the great church whose foremost pulpiteter he is. What are the facts? Dr. Ransom was not unduly intimate with any white woman, on a train or anywhere else. Brutal white men did set upon him and beat him, not because he spoke courteously to a woman, but because he was a passenger in a Pullman car. The conductor of the train, though powerless to interfere, advised Dr. Ransom to call upon him for assistance if he should decide to take his grievances to the courts. He was not drunk when he got to Naomi. Dr. Councill, never a brave man, but green be the grass, drove his grave did not meet Dr. Ransom, and, influenced by the newspaper reports of what had occurred, was afraid to meet him at all. But why go over all this? If there be other words necessary to read the letter from a man who never tells a beother in Georgia or Illinois unhersetly Bishop Turner wrote Dr Rison that Council took unto death not want to die without reporting a grave in his hallowed done to Dr Rison. Through Bishop Turner Mr Council requested Dr Rison to come to see a Newt. Dr Rison properly reissued In Dr. Rinsmith has been in the effective in his public and educational work as he has been in his jobs in New York, his record is he and reproach. The AO presents him for the Bishop, because we know him to private and public to be to man, a Christian, a leader, and the greatest preacher his church, or any other church, may now claim. In respect of all this, The Age may have any sayings to other men and forces we know that J. C. Chisholm of the Idea, in what we see, is written with respect to Dr. Ransom, has such a trust for his children with men and problems. The AO does not recede from its position in believ- Agriculture the main industry of the country the main industry of the country the care pregnant wilds did not be tended by savvy men in America.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1911 WHAT ABOUT IT? The news dispatches tell us that the Canadian Government has decided to stop the migration of the American Negro; that he is now too numerous, and that his room is more acceptable than his company. Several days ago near the boundary at Manitoba a party of colored people bound for western Canada, the wheat region, where, by the way, many colored men are landowners and wheat producers, were detained and plainly told that they were undesirable immigrants. This detention, permanent or temporary, is a clear violation of the understanding between the governments of the United States and Canada with respect to the travel of the citizens of either country. It is possible that Ottawa knew nothing of the affair; that a local government officer, influenced by the newspapers, took it upon himself to exclude these people. We have heard not a word from Washington. We do not know what has been done about the matter, nor that anything has been done. What about it? What have the leading colored men in Washington done, anything? No. They spend so much of their time eating and gossiping that they have but little of it left to devote to important matters. BALLINGER Those that have entertained the thought that William Howard Taft is not a brave man, that he has no courage, and that the ideas he may for a moment hold are powerless in conviction, ought to read his letter accepting the resignation of his Secretary of the Interior, the Hon. Richard Ballinger, of Washington state. We doubt that that letter has any comparison in the annals of statecraft. Years of research and study have failed to reveal a paper from the hands of any ruler that breathed the courage and indignation characterizing the President's note. He saw a faithful public servant riddled with false accusation, maligned by self-seekers and blackguarded by the prophets of murk. Like a friend indeed, who dares the storm to relieve a brother, the President met the Pharisees on their own ground, and put them to flight and perhaps to shame The retirement of Mr. Ballinger removes from the Cabinet not only a faithful, able public servant, in every respect an honor to the Taft administration, but also and very particularly the only speaking-out friend the American Negro had among the President's advisers. Mr. Ballinger comes from a state in which there are but a handful of colored people, yet many years in public life gave him an acquaintance with colored people everywhere, with their loyalty, their progress and their consuming desire to be good citizens of their country. In Washington and elsewhere among informed men, it is known that whenever the Cabinet discussed policies with reference to the Negro it was expected that Mr. Ballinger would present the cause of the Negro. We shall not forget him. It may be worth something in the records it a high career to know that it millions of people who no longer be a name. Peace progress and good luck to Mr. Burlinger. He served his country and and served our reputation on the altar at lowly. Trio A not only entertained at court recording Bishop Watts but conspired him to his arrest. A fraternal friend.

NOTE AND COMMENT servation upon the relationship between Houston and Morris: I see Will Houston, the ex-grandmaster, is back in Washington, trying to earn an honest dollar at law. I told Will last summer that just as soon as Ed. Morris squeezed all the juice out of him he would toss him to the garbage man. Of course Will thought I was talking through my humplap in order to pass, though as I predicted. He washed Morris' dirty linen for him, ironed his rags, acted as his valet, and dressed him up as his successor, and then, when they got back to Chicago, Morris, with the tuneful voice of a siren, whispered low to Will I love you you would do better to work in Washington than you needed you." In effect he said "William, I have no further use for you. You have pulled my chestnut out of the fire, and burned your hands, but as there is some question as to the validity of the employers' liability act, I don't think I need keep you here in Chicago or burn your hands, but as judges of the supreme graft court, and that will give you $80 per court. You can stay in Washington on this." Certainly there was nothing for Will to do but pack up his little wardrobe and hike back to Washington. I guess he is pondering over the fickleness of kings now and so foolish that the zeal I served my king he would not thus have left me naked to mine enemies." Will Houston simply got in bad company. He's all right at heart, and a sociable follow, and it's a pity that he ever tled up with Morris. I hope he succeeds in law there, and I am sure he will succeed in law there, if certain individual don't come up with that loan of $25 I made him six months ago. But Will will sure have to bustle, because these colored lawyers here are all johnnie-on-the-spot when it comes to hunting business. I guess Will Houston thinks am a prophet now, since he said to him he would succeed in law there, and if he squeezed the juice out of him—has come true Morris will give them all Mexican salve for a while. POLITICAL NOTES It has just come out why new Orleans host to San Francisco in the Panama Expansion fighting Thomas Hellin, the Alabama Congressman, made the principal appeal for the Crescent City. Judge Dunne, a defeated candidate for Mayor of Chicago in the recent primary fight, wants a recount. A well-known State Senator in the lobby of the Manhattan the other evening "Dunne like the rest of them who die hard. A game looser is hard to find these days." The Courier-Journal, Marse Henry's paper, says that the Democratic State Committee of Kentucky has got the party in a pretty mess; that the less said of the present conditions within the party, the better for Democracy. The Courier-Journal sees but little hope for the party in the coming election. At the recent municipal primary force in Chicago 109,538 enrolled Republicans, and 147,174 enrolled Democrats voted Carter Harrison received 55,069 Democratic votes, and C E. Merriam received 34,225 Republican votes. They become the respective candidates of their parties for the mayoralty. The betting favors Harrison. It is not unlikely that at the reorganization of the Republican National Committee Heng, New of Indiana, will become chairman. Senator Murray Crane could have the job for the asking, but he doesn't want it. Colored Republicans generally will welcome a change from Frank H. Hutchison who deserves the favor that he has given to election directors directly. He will have all but turned the political process over to Republican The Chicago mayor whose editor lead the city's anti-immigrant crusade of an anti-police trial in 1968, it praises the colored voters of Chicago for their bravely supporting Chas T. Merriam, and to remind the white man that he holds no non-voly on honest citizenship" Much has been said and felt by the friendly as well as by the hostile white man concerning the purposability of the race to admit that there has been too much ground in the past for this criticism. It is reassuring to know that leading representatives of the colored race have taken the initiative to admit that Professor Charles E. Merrifam, of the University of Chicago, Mayor of the city, Large and enthulastic meetings in colored churches and other places frequented by colored men, have authority at which col- ored and white speakers have urged his claim, chief of which is that he is the easiest enemy of graft, a gentleman of academic and ethical independence of machine owners, and the plain truth is that the white race holds no monoply on honest citizenship and is not immune to political raciality. When there are no vote buyers among the white voters, the vote is not among the poor black people under the wheels. The disgrace of selling a vote is always less than the disgrace of buying votes. Who are the men who have been elected to the white Chicago office find them in pieces of honor and responsibility to which white men have exalted them. THE TRAGEDY In Edward Sheldon's "The Nigger" (Macmillan), the proud Governor finds out that he has a drop of African blood. A white man, long a friend to colored people, gives the following advice to the fallen idol "All you've got't do, son, is fall in line.

PROGRESS IN AFRICA (From the Sun) In the great game which the French Republic is playing south of the Mediterranean a month rarely passes without an announcement of the completion of some old project of empire or the undertaking of a new plan. Only the other day. The Sun commented upon the opening of the last section of the great intercolonial railroad from the Moroccan frontier to the Gulf of Tunis; now French colonial journals are printing maps of the new railroad already authorized by the Government which is to complete the commercial if not the political annexation of eastern Morocco. On the present maps to be sure, the projected line is modest enough. Within three years the tiny part of Nemoors the last considerable garrison town on the west coast of Algeria near the Moroccan line is to be connected by rail with Lida, the first Moroccan town west of the present terminus of the Algerian railroad system. But while the French Government is actively beginning its construction of this forty miles of rail nearly all on Algerian territory, it is also opening negotiations with Morocco for an extension of the line to Taurit, known to the French public as the scene of the bloody conflict in the history of the poor "promotion" of eastern Morocco, that actually well known to the colonial power. The key of that portion of the Moroccan empire rest of the Mali and south of the Atlas. conquer Poe. famous frontier of capital of the political for Marian thumb and to and not at the Kiss. Communically however, the French in this region fear Spanish roads. At the present time Oran, more than two hundred and fifty miles from Lourmarin to the port of this region. But Mellilla, fifty miles to the north, competes successfully and as the Spanish push south will naturally compete more successfully. Not even an extension of the Oran line from the froftier to Tournai will help the situation. But a further effort will bring the central valley of the Mulhua within a hundred miles of the Mediterranean will permanently deflect commerce, for Spanish finances will not in many years supply the funds for African railroads. In the French African plan the new railroad has another service to perform. Every year, many thousand Moroccan cross the frontier to work in Algerian fields at harvest time. Their labor is valuable, but for the French they perform another service; they act as advance agents of French rule. Seeing prosperity and security in Oran, learning from the Algerian natives, Mohammedans like themselves, of the benefit of "French peace," they begin to build the prejudice against the Christian invader. Here at least is a conception which approximates the familiar pacific penetration. When the railroad has been finished to Taurirt and therefore the Muluya, perhaps five years hence, the French will have completed that portion of their programme in Morocco which the Algeciras convention approved. But in doing this the will have brought a new wave of French Pez. Looking back over the events of the last five years to the humiliation of Algeciras, it is impossible not to recall the comment of M. Gautier upon "that great fact, strange yet undeniable, that the Third Republic has been during the last thirty years at once the most timid of Governments and that which has made the greatest colonial conquests. At all events, it has been a scientific frontier, for even in Roman days the Muluya was, like the Rhife, a natural and historic boundary. WANT TO BE INDIANS Statesmen of the White Race Willing to Forsake Race to Become An Indian Chief. (The Seattle Republican.) Alleged superiority of blood is a splendid thing and a great asset to the man of money, but to the man in need of money or desirous of personal influence, it is not only nothing, but even worse, it is minus nothing, and in substationation of this assertion, we cite the following bit of news. The Chickasaw Indian tribe is without a chieftain just now, owing to death, and it is the duty of the President of the United States, according to a law passed by Congress, to nominate a chief for the tribe This is a pretty fat job, and one not only Indians, but even the proud white man is very anxious to obtain, but aside from getting the ear of the president and the secretary of the interior, one must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he has Chuckasaw blood in his veins in order to be named as such. The recent general election all over the country left at home a great many statesmen, who had been law makers at the National Capitol, and who believe it would be dangerous to try to carry on the government without them being in some way connected with its affairs, and therefore, they are casting about for fat positions on which to land after their terms in Congress expire next March. Representative Tawney of Minnesota who, the whole country had always believed was a pure white man with no inferior racial blood in his veins, is now seeking the position as Chickasaw chiefain, or using the vernacular of the Indians themselves, wants to be "big Injun." Who would have thought it? And United States Senator Charles F. Fairbanks, once vice-president of the United States and a formidable candidate for the presidency to succeed Roosevelt, is likewise said to be a candidate for this big Injun job, and he, too, has always been considered the pure of the purest type of white man. And along with these there are many others equally as prominent in the past among the Anglo Saxons who now declare that they have Chickasaw blood in them and for that reason are perfectly eligible to be named as chief of the tribe. Perhaps they are all correct, but in view of the attitude they have taken in the past it would seem they are taking a good long step backward in order to feed at the government crush VIRGINIA (T2: Richmond Planet) Those persons who assert that the governor of the state be legally appointed to the ordinances ordained into law have been holding only at the Court of the United States of the State of Virginia Artist L.

THE GREATEST ARTIST Henry O. Tanner's Works on Exhibition in Chicago Exhibit Highlights Trade—Many Claim. Him: Greatest Living Artist. (From the Chicago Univ.) An exhibit of his pictures at the Thurber Galleries in Chicago has just been made by Henry O. Tanner, the accomplished artist whose work has received the highest commendation from the critics in both continents. That he is a great artist all agree; that he is the greatest artist now living some competent judges assert. Mr. Tanner's favorite themes are scriptural. Among those exhibited in Chicago that attracted much attention are the paintings of the "Holy Family," "Mary and Elizabeth," "Christ Walking on the Sea," "Christ Learning to Ride," "Hills Near Jerusalem," "The Hiding of Moses," "A Lady of Jerusalem," and among the smaller ones was a striking portrait of a Jew and several bits of Jerusalem landscape. All these themes Were handled with an originality that was refreshing. The shadowy Christ on the water, and the affectionate lad leaning upon the mother who gives him his reading lesson, stand out in the memory. We are glad to know that five or six of these notable paintings are to stay in Chicago and that Mr. Tanner will return to his work in Paris and to his elegant suburban home with his accomplished French wife, and beautiful children, who are suspected of having served as models in some of these pictures, greatly encouraged. Mr. Tanner is a gentleman of refined manners ad shrinking spirit, and this is all that need be told in order to fix his place in the social as well as in the art world. But to the confusion of the clannish and the dismay of the would-be representatives of the superior race, it must be said that Henry O Tanner is the son of the beloved Elbishop Tanner of the African eMethodist Episcopal Church of the United States. In both the father and the son is the race prejudice refuted and the white man's arrogance abashed. As long as there can be no color line in commerce, science, art and plenty, the attempt to establish such lines in the social and political world grows more and more hopeless. In all the prefound estimates of humanity the race lines are superficial and the dread of contact with inferior races is justified only in the degrading effect upon the lives of those who are not affected by the theory. It is the "superior" race that is always demoralized by its contact with the alleged inferior race, and it is the theory of inferiority, not the inferiority even though it should exist, that corrupts the morals of the arrogant race, as the gruesome history of the British soldier in Indian and the American soldier I. the Philippines has sadly proved.

As to the train incident, a white woman did ask me a civil question, to which I gave, a courteous reply, no other word passed between us. An hour or so afterward, I was set upon by a crowd of half drunken white men and elected from the sleeper, receiving a blow from the effects of which I still at times suffer. No allegation of intoxication was made in the accounts sent out by the Associated Press. The conductor of the sleeping car from which I had been ejected, came to me and deeply deplored the assault which had been made upon me, but said he was powerless to prevent it. He gave me his card, of which this is a facsimile: A. BEETS. Knoxville, Tenn. Masters' Lodge, No. 244, F. & A. M. Pearl Chapter, No. 24, R. A. M. Coeur de Lion Commandery, No. 9, K. T.

After riding the rest of the day and night, without food or sleep, I arrived in Huntsville, Ala., about 8 o'clock in the morning and was taken to a boarding house where surroundings were so repulsive, I could take neither food nor sleep. In this condition I went to Normal, in company with the pastor of the A M E Church in Huntsville. I was weak from lack of nourishment and sleep, and suffering from the assault which had been made upon me. I was driven to Prof. Council's house. While there I met no one except a young woman, who I have since learned, was Mr Council's daughter, whom I asked for a glass of milk and permission to rest. I did not attempt to lay down as I was momentarily expecting Prof Council. But I did not see him, because he did not put in his appearance while I was there. I saw only Charles Stewart, the well known newspaper correspondent, and later a man who told me he was the president of the Alumni Association, and that my engagement had been cancelled and they desired me to leave the place. The newsboys had been running through the streets of Hunville since early morning, crying out their papers with the account of my trouble on the train I supposed (and still think) it was because of the excitement this had aroused that my engagement had been canceled. But when I asked if this was the reason, the gentleman in question refused to assign any reason whatever. Without any courteous, no capitulation or assistance, I left getaway to the depot as best I could. As a result of what I had suffered on this trip when I returned to Houston where I was then living, I was confined to my bed for over two weeks under the care of two physi-cians. Council Sought to Repair Damage. Now since these things transpired, Prof Councell has departed this life, and I would gladly let this unfortunate affair rest in the grave also; we were not others seeking to centralize it and use it both to the damage of my reputation and the impairment of my influence. Under much provocation I have up to now resisted the temptation to inform the public how Prof Councell sought to repair the injury which had been done me. It is contained in a private letter written to me by that cosmopolitan and I am tarter. Despite H M.

I hope you will accept Truly. H M TURNER Denies Charge of Interference. While appreciating the spirit in which the tender to revisit Normal was do, I declined to do so. I replied in effect, that all the reparation I desired was for Prof. Councill to publish to the world what he had said to me through Bishop Turner and to correct the gross libel which had caused me and mine so much humiliation and pain. It is hinted or mentioned from time to time, that I have left a bad record in places where I have served as pastor, notably in Chicago, ill., and Cleveland, O. Specifically, intemperance has been alleged. I have never indulged in strong drink through craving appetite or force of habit. But it is true that in mental or physical exhaustion and weakness, I have resorted to alcoholic stimulants as a temporary property, and as worthless, then I have found that it is worse to pop which breaks under the weight of all who lean upon it, only to mock them in derision when they lie helpless from their fall. It is also true that I have at times taken a social drink, with some of the ministers, who have best and are now, regarded as the embodiment of all that is highest and best. When I did these things there was never anything secret, snacking or surreptitious about it. I am preaching and lecturing to thousands of people, white and colored, here in New York and elsewhere. I am in daily contact with hundreds of people. I challenge them, and I challenge the world to successfully impute to me the use of strong drink in any form. Even the semblance of any such thing has long since passed from my life; nobody edited the book of the Editor The New York Age who has followed me closely since my ministration in New York City, to whom this letter is addressed. I have been in the ministry of the A. M. E. Church for twenty-five years—two years in Altoona, Pa., two years in Allegheny City, Pa., three years in Springfield, O., three years in Cleveland, O., eight years in Chicago, three years in Boston, and New Bedford, Mass. I am now closing my fourth year in New York City. *Refers to Good Record Elsewhere.* In none of these places or anywhere else, have I ever had a mark or a charge against me of violating the sanctity of any man's home, of dishonesty, untruthfulness, or lack of integrity or mismanaging either the spiritual or temporal business of the Church of God. I never had a fuss or quarrel with any church in my life. I never served a church where the officers and members did not petition for my return when I was leaving for another charge. I have taken the space to set these things down once for all that they might stand on record under my hand and goal. Despite what opponents may say or write to the contrary, this paper will go into the hands of thousands whom I have served and others who have known me all my life. They know, and the people here in New York know, whether wil at I have said is true or false. As to the matter of the bishopric, the A. M. E Church is fully competent to manage its own affairs, while not perhaps objecting to any light the outside world can give on the problems that confront her. If God wants me or any other man in the bishopric, no man can prevent it. It is true that by political and other questionable methods, men have reached the bishopric, but God has moved some of them out by the hand of death almost as fast as they could have arrived up and become inconspicuous in an office they were not large enough to magnify. Election to office, or the conferring of honors, has no power to transform ignorance, stupidity, mediocrity or incapacity, while no office or honor can add to or take away from a man's ability or intrinsic worth. Without regard to the bishopric or any other office, without regard to censure or applause. I shall continue to preach the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ to light in a common sense way of the truths we have to stand them strive to promote peace on earth and work for the realization of the brotherhood of man. Faithfully yours. REVERDY C RANSOM TEXAS SALOON FIGHT. Can't Tell Christians from Sinners in Contest—Women Invite Mrs. Booker T Washington to Visit Them. Regular Correspondence of TMB AOR.

WISHER TENDERS RESIGNATION No Longer Pastor of Baptist Temple —Presented with Loving Cup and Bible—Well Known Minister Issues Statement. The Rev Daniel W. Wisher has resigned the pastorate of the Baptist Temple after a pastorate of three years. Dr. Wisher got tired of the chicanery and machinations of the trouble makers and left them to their joys. The Baptist Temple was founded by Dr. Wisher of Olive Hill's church district from Mr. Olive of Baptist Church several years ago. After a year or two with the Temple he went to Pennsylvania, where he remained until the Temple "called" him three years ago. His pastorate has been a successful one. Many new members have been taken in, and the sum of $7,249 has been raised. The sum of $500 is now in the bank to the credit of the building fund. Dr Wisher issues the following statement, which shows not only what he was up against but also hard to bear in "the" Baptist church but had some of them ambitious, licensed preachers, are strong in the membership. I am going to tell you why I resigned as pastor for the second time. I was your first pastor and was forced to resign the church by the deacons and trustees, with only a few hours' notice on a Sunday morning, while my wife lay sick in bed. A story was circulated among the members that I got tired and left on my own accord. That is false. The same thing is being said now, that I leave on my own accord. That is also false. Hirrethen, here are the letters in which you sent for me and sought me and pleaded with me to come back against my protest, but after a few days full counsel I came to do the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to "know nothing among men save Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Do you remember my first text and sermon, acts 10:29? I told you I came back not to quarrel, but to live in peace together, and that when you began that kind of business I would take no part in it, and if you refused to hear me and would not let me lead you, or be your pastor, I would resign. This I have done, because you have forced me to do it. You threw down the gauntlet for a fight. The same evil spirit that forced the other pastors away has caused me to leave, the same Jezebel and others control this church and there will be no living in peace until they are out of it. God never has appointed deacons and trustees to lead his Church, but pastors. No church can succeed that ignore its law and Bible, and that factions in it. I found you three years ago divided and bravely in debt. I worked hard with old servants, but God and a few workers were with me. We kept the service of a foreclosure away, charged $100 and paid off many of the debts of the church and raised money for a new building and yet you accepted the value of a member who said that none nothing and that I must include thunderstorms that the church is dying. On that night I read my resignation to a brother around the whole secret of the church meeting. He told what I was going on during the summer months with a few of the faithful trainees and working members, and I was working hard to build Christ's church other services away from home. stand." not and will tell work with him, it is to be spent at once I have some good loving Christian and late too I do hate their infidel ways and told them I try to and I regret but I will pay all of the bills you will pay your guide and get by your laws and pay another and not say love while dieser is in your hand. I爱你 your money, not by my promise but by my own will, in soxton time for 41 weeks, saving $205. We had a decent house and yard, and the parents gave entertainments, and none of the numbers would not patronize them, even some of the officers. Missed New Churoh. But brethren, you just missed your new home by your hasty action, a rich gentleman called on me two weeks ago and offered to put up the money for me for a new church building and I refused it. I have his name and a witness to the fact. But you did all this before. Northern, I am the fourth pastor in twelve years. God bless you and save you if it is His will from ruin. You have, great outside opposition, but the greatest opposition is among yourself. Jesus said, "To be my friends, if yo do whatsoever I command you." Dr. Wister's "farewell sermon" was heard by an audience that overflowed in Lenox avenue. He spoke from the text, "Finally, brethren, farewell." Among other things he said: The truth teller is disliked because he inflicts pain, but the pain shows there is something wrong within. People generally dislike to think that others know their particular faults. The truth teller is disliked for fair nymphs the ugly fauns and satyrs. The truth-speaker is our best friend. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful" it is written in the Book. Think of the courage of the apostle. He tells the Galantine the truth at the sacrifice of their personal friendship and love. Truth-was a more precious thing than man's esteem. It was the very truth of the gospel, with man's salvation hanging upon it, and therefore incapable of being betrayed or surrendered through any spirit of unworthy love or peasleying; they persecute you in one city, flee into another said the Lord. But not as a shrieling who sees the wolf coming, rather as a brave warrior who retreats fighting. The brave retreat may reflect more honor than the hopeless prolongation of warfare. Pulpit No Easy Chair. The greatest works have been done for God and the world by sufferers in the midst of suffering. In the world the faithful apostle has tribulation, but peace in his heart, and it distils from his lips upon his brethren as he goes. Perfect ease is not to be coveted by the true servant of Christ. The pulpit is not an easy chair. It is sometimes the duty of the preacher to tell unpleasant truths. It is a mistake to suppose that because he has a gospel to declare he must let only honeyed phrases fall from his lips. Jeremiah set up the prophesying of smooth things as the one sure test of a false prophet. The truth has been too much pampered with comforting words. We need more preaching to the conscience. There are unpleasant truths. aure is not all roses and lilies, nettles and vipers exist. The page of history is slotted with tears and blood. There are many ugly facts in our own past experience. The great ground on which the preacher is required to utter unpleasant truths is that we are all sinners. Men often a refuse to admit unpleasant truths about themselves, treat them as libels and the preachers of them as killers of the race. It is a great blunder to treat the preacher of unpleasant truths as an enemy. Truth is not the less true because we are blind to it. The revelation of its existence is not the creation of it. Amongst men there is a natural cravings for equality, we present a fellow-whom we are going to lord over us. And in the realm of religion we have ever need to remember "all ye are brether." What a poor fool a great man seems when he swells and struts in his miserable pomposity and conceit! He is not great, no one can persuade us that he is great—he is extremely little. How much greater our great men would be if they would not be so great! One might imagine, sometimes, that our Lord had commanded those who would be chief to imitate turkey-cocks, but he said they must become as little children. Not a few of them had ill wishes for him he had nothing but good wishes for friends and foes. This was a very real farewell. Upon our lips it often means too little in fact it has become but the barest signal for separation but coming from Paul's heart, it was full of earnest meaning, possibly in his thought it took the form of Repose in the Lord," as in Phil. 3.1. Everything of value in the eyes of Paul was in the Lord." And there is no real farting well unless we are in Christ Lofty and Gracious Desires For spiritual growth to be perfected Give the care which will be spent out Rest in worship Nice to have you more like your Lord Strive to get rid of the old things, only to see new in Christ The best is to look at one another within you This was designing for the very last test.

Walter 1 Cohen presided. When the “bill of fare” was nearing the end, W. R. Dubuclet, one of the leading spirits of the organization, sur- prised the guests when In a beautiful spéech he presented President Cohen with o beautiful silver loving cup, two feet high, inacribed thusly: Presented to Walter L. Cohen, as a token of our esteem, by the members of the Economy and Mutual Ald As- sociation of New Orleans, Loulsiana. Our President since March lat, 1897. Mr. Dubuclet told of the good work dono for tho Society by Mr. Colten and pleaded tho right to refer to hjm Ys “Cap,” by which term, title, or nick: name, ho Is known to men, women and children in this community. Edward jaudet, who zealously labored and elped to secure tho cup, in a humorous vein, recognized the worth and work of Cohen, but deprecated the monopaliatic tendency of Cohen and tho Presidency.

Austin, Texas, March 13- The prac- ticability of the new Price-Campbell cot ton-picking machine has received recog- mition from the legislature of this state through the enactment of a law which permits farmers to organize companies 2nd incorporate for the purpose of pur- chasing and operating these machines The amount of capital stock of corpora- tions of tins character 1s limited to $50,- 000.

The cost of a ma- chine places it out of the reach of the ordinary farmer, but by forming com- panies one can be purchased and made to do the work for many farmers. Should the use of the machines be- come general it would mean an annual foss of many millions of dollars to. the Negro population of Texas and the other Southern states.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR LIBERIA Little Afrioan Republlo Will no Loriger be Bothered With Financial Diftioul- tiee—To Get Loan Desired in Order te Save Standing of Country. ‘Special t Tus New Youn Acs Washington, D. C, March 15.—A cablegram from Roland P. Falkner tc the State Department states that the outlook for Liberia ts bright, and that the rehabilitation of the little republic is assured. The visit to Monrovia of Roland P Falkner, financial representative of Li- beria, during the recent session of the legislature brought this about. In twenty-four days he removed all the local obstacles to obtaining the much needed loan. There were three main barriers—ihe Kanre Lahun question with England, the new boundary delimitation treaty with France and the judicial system. Settlement of the first and second prob- lems was necessary to get the consent and co-operation of England and France. Judicial reforms were needed to guarantee the security of capital in- vested in the country. There was strong opposition to yield. ing the Kanre Lahun district to Eng- Jand and to ratifying the new bound- ary with France. At a luncheon given by President Barclay, at which many senators and representatives were pres- ent, Mr. Falkner spoke some plain, un- pleasant truths, especially about Li- beria's lack of credit in the world’s money markets. There was no further hesitation on the part of the legislature, as there was no alternative for Liberia should the proposed loan fall through. The dehmutation treaty was signed and Kanre Lahun passed to Great Britain 1n consideration of $20,000 and a strip of territory southeast about as large as Kanre Lahun itself. The act reforming the judiciary was tabled because the session of the legislature was too near the clase to give the measure due con- sideration. This act would provide a simple system of circuit courts, with the republic divided imto four judicial districts, and the judges of the supreme bench to act in conjunction with these circuit judges. . ‘The result of Mr. Falkner’s “visit to Monrovia was the appointment of an in- ternai debt commission to ascertain the amount of the floaung debt within the republic and to classify this with a view 25 ste, hewsdaten.
