VOL. XXIV. No. 38. NEGRO'S STATUS EXACT AND SURE In Eloquent Address to M Street School Congressman Taylor Tak's High Position Reading the Stirring Records of Advancement, Statesman Bids the Young to Take Courage DO NOT SPURN THE SOIL Business Development Must Go Hand in Hand With Intellectual Development, and "Excelsior" the Motto. Special to THE NEW YORK AOR Washington, D. C., June 21, 1911 — A class at eighty five was graduated this attention from the four-year academe course offered at the M Street High School, the exercises taking place at the Howard Theatre before an overflow audience which had gathered in large numbers, not only because of the inspiring spectacle, but also because the commencement address was delivered by the Hon. F. L. Taylor at present a member of the House of Representatives from Ohio, and recognized as one of the greatest friends of education effort in behalf of the Negro in the country. It had recently been made known that it was very largely through the efforts of Mr. Taylor in Congress that the sum of $60,000 was appropriated for the purchase of a site for a new M Street High School for colored students, and that the congressman had exercised itself to such good purpose for two years that appropriations had been more than one occasion based on the ratio of colored population in Washington as compared with the white population which is nearly one third. The congressman was given an ovation when he stepped upon the platform and another when he had concluded his eloquent remarks. The exercises were presided over by Mrs Mary Church Terrell, and the diplomas awarded the graduates by Rev W V Tunnell both members of the Washington board of education. Congressman Taylor's address is still the chief talk among the people Mr Taylor said in part. I consider it a distinguished honor to have been invited here by the affection of this school, to meet with and address for a few short minutes the graduating class and so many of the representative colored citizens of the District of Columbia. An audience like this is an inspiration to any one, and particularly one who, unlike myself, may be inclined to be pessimistic as to the progress and future of the American citizen of Negro persuasion. I am further honored by being permitted to speak to a class graduating as it does to-day, from the oldest high school in the city of Washington. The M Street High School has compelled my interest from the time I took up my duties as a Congressman, representing as do a district, which a larger and older Negro population is. I was gratified to learn that there are now more than 15,000 young colored people enrolled into the various grade schools of the District of Columbia, and more than 1,600 enrolled into the high and normal schools. School Typical of Race. The growth of the M Street School typifies the development of the race Starting as it did with but one teacher and forty-five pupils, to-day it is represented by thirty-five teachers and an enrolment of seven hundred and forty young American citizens, determined to prepare themselves properly to take up life's duties according to the bent of their individual ambitions and this not including that special institution, the Armour Manual Training School the work of the old business of the M Street High School. The effects of a high school upon your pupils lead to include the addition and a desire to educate ministers busi-ness lawyers and every other profession for the individual for the time of 1840 at which time the school was now higher education in industrial schools and professional schools and forthcoming.

FROM OHIO Who Delivered a Notable Address at M Street School Commencement at all times, even when others, both colored and white, were discouraged and inclined to pessimism, asdently optimistic and to the future of that portion of our citizenship, whose ancestors came to this country under the unfortunate circumstances of servitude. Example of Good Faith. One has but to look back a very short cycle of time, less than half a century, to see that the Negro has accepted his duties of citizenship in good faith, with true courage, and rising above more obstacles than any other nationality, has cheerfully and patiently progressed in education, business and other honorable pursuits as rapidly as any other race was ever known to do. When we consider the evolution of the Negro man to a citizen, we have a chapter in history which should stand as a beacon of encouragement to every one of us. When Abraham Lincoln declared the Negroes free, it could be well said that they were practically totally illiterate. A very few who had been freed or educated by their masters, could read and write, but the great body of the race, men and women, lived the lives of bondsmen,atterly laboring for their masters with no intention of being assigned to each under the direction and control of the superior minds. With one stroke of the pen, this dependent race were declared free and in a very short time thereafter, given the full privileges citizenship. Overcoming All Things With centuries of servitude and degradation behind them, how hopeless it must have seemed to ever accomplish or raise up education or compete with the other races. The utter poverty and ignorance which enveloped the colored race at the time of the reconstruction, is almost beyond comprehension. They had no money They had never earned a wage They had learned to depend for food and sustenance upon their owner They had no clothing or shelter, and most of them were without the slightest conception of the school and the home as we know them. At the very beginning they had no time for education The serious struggle to sustain life to obtain food, clothing and shelter of necessity retarded their efforts and desire for book knowledge. They had no knowledge of their legal rights, of contracts or agreements for wages. They did not know what their life would be without work. They must have worked, in season and out for the unscrupulous and selfish for bare sustenance. But this condition did not last long. Underlying the Negro character even in its then underdeveloped state were certain great saving qualities First they were less ill. Second they were courageous and this had demonstrated in every of this country that we knew. The Negro Soldier The Negro soldier has demonstrated his bravery in the War of the Revolution the War of 1812 the War of Mexico the War of the Rebellion and with Spain. During the Rebellion he served in every branch of the army with distinction, then earning the coveting gratitude of President Lincoln General Grant and other famous leaders. War was not forgotten his heroism and his bravery in the battles of Fort Wagner William Benton Petralia and numerous others. His record in the Spanish American War at San Juan Hill is a splendid monument to the heroism and bravery of the Negro soldier. But his chief asset the one great secret of his rapid adjustment to conditions was his wonderful adaptability. This has been the real secret of your remarkable progress. Factor in the Government.

PORTER HOOD TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT But If Colored Members Want to Stay With Mother Church Let 'Em Sipy, No One Cares. The statement made by the Rev S H Norwood, of Washington, and appear in last week's AGE, has stirred up a nest of one kind or the other. The Rev Mr Norwood is secretary of the Washington Conference of the Methodist Church, and is opposed with all his heart to the 300,000 colored members of the mother church going out of it. He not only believes that they ought to stay, but believes also that the "colored" Methodist bodies ought to "break up" and go back and in this way pave the way for a real Methodist union. Of course there is hardly the tiniest bit of remotest possibility of anything like that coming off It is hardly doubted that Mr Norwood represents the major feeling of the membership of his church, on both sides, in advocating "no quarter." Most of the leading colored men in the church want to stay there and will hardly get out without a fight. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, Dr J W E Bowen, Dr M C B Mason, Dr William W Lucas, Field Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, and most of the strong laymen, are outspoken defenders of the present order of things. Mr Norwood's greater offending was in his description of the "colored churches" as imitators and as agencies that have helped along in widening the breaches between the races. Hereabout the ministers of the A M F Church are rather indignant if any such suggestion, and the Zion preachers would be indignant also if they did not have the annual conference on their hands. For the A M F Church Dr Solomon Porter Blood of Trenton issues the following consoct statement Rev. S. H. Netwood says that the Negroes who left the M. E. Church about no hundred years ago made a mistake that they are guilty of lim- townism and race segregation in high places in spiritual things in the Chri- sian Church from which it has spread and become organized and legalized in all spiritual and temporal thing- ets. He says the independent Negro Methodists are imitators and mustte- m back, tells them they can do more by staying with the white people and making a fight for right than by drawing out and establishing a sepa- rate organization. He says all this in answer to the question which has been agitated by some of the most pro- minent Negro preachers in the M. E. Church. "Should the colored members (Continued on Paragraph 8) MRS. STOWE HONORED St. James Church Parked With Enthusiastic Lovers of Freedom Who Cheer Praise of "Uncle Tom"—Musical Program in "Keeping With Spirit of Occasion—Dr. Brooks Presides and Introduces Orator. The anniversary of the 100th birthday of Harriet Beecher Stowe was celebrated in New York with both great enthusiasm and a large outpouring of the people. Many has been the day since so large a crowd assembled on such an occasion it got together Wednesday evening of last week at St. James Church, in West 51st street. The exercises were held under auspices of the New York Literary and Historical Society, upon whose board is almost every prominent person in the greater city. The program rendered was far in advance of anything that has been attempted in Greater New York in many a year, and a packed house enjoyed every number, and entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion. In the audience were the representatives of the best in the social and literary life of both Brooklyn and New York. Dr A. S Reid, president of the society, introduced as the chairman of the evening the Rev Dr W. H. Brooks, "the people's pastor," who had charge of the celebration The Rev. William R Lawton, pastor of the church, delivered the invocation. A feature of the evening was the musical program, as rendered both by the choir, which was in excellent trim, the soloists, who received round after round of applause, and the audience, which sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" with a harmony such as only an audience of that kind can sing. Mrs Booker T. Washington, who was unable to come, congratulated the meeting upon the progress made since "Uncle Tom" leaped into fame, and Mrs M C Lawton read an able paper upon the influence of Mrs Stowe's life. The reading by Mrs. Ardelle Taylor was an able effort. Mme Gourdine sang in charming style, and Mme. De Lyon Leonard, who sings with striking ease, was compelled to respond to an encore Carroll, the baritone, sang with the spirit of the occasion. In introducing Roscoe Simmons, who delivered the oration, and who has delivered each of the centennial orations, Dr Brooks referred to him as the word-magician, and added that "to New York he is the voice, and this occasion, inspiring as it is would be incomplete if he was not here to deliver the oration—our own, our brilliant, in doquent, our devoted Roscoe." Mr Simmons spoke for an hour upon the career of Mrs. Stowe, surveying the period in which she moved His oration was punctuated with great applause and upon its conclusion he was given all kind of cheers, the audience crowding up to congratulate him. The officers of the society are President, Dr A. S. Reed, vice-presidents, C. C. Davis and Miss Dora Cole, secretaries, J D Jones and Miss Willa G. Rowe, treasurer, James Gwatheny. Executive Committee—A M. Robinson, chairman, Charles W. Anderson, Fred R Moore, James L. Curtis, Dr E. P. Roberts, John E. Nail, Thomas J Bell, C. A Allison, Jr, Edward E.

BRADEFORD MEMORIAL Citizens of Montclair Propose to and Congregational a Lader by Eroting Colored Y. M. C. A. Building in That City. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Montclair, N J, June 21—The announcement that prospects are very favorable to the proposed memorial to the late Dr Amory H Bradford, taking shape in the erection of a $50,000 building for the Colored Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, is hailed with delight by all citizens here. The definite conclusion has not yet been reached but the outlook is very bright. Dr Bradford was a great champion of the rights of the Negro, and as president of the Congregational Council for many years did all within his power to assist the cause. His pulpul was ever open for ploys for various colored educational institutions, and man thousands of dollars went from his rich congregation to further the work. A committee of prominent citizens has in its control the decision is to what the memorial shall be. The Key Frederick H Butler pastor of St Marks M L Church is the only colored man on the committee.

WASHINGTON Before 3,000 People at Wilberforce He Makes an Address as Important as Any Utterance Since His Famous Atlanta Speech. If So, Why Not Bring It Out Before the People and Test It Son of Harriet Beecher Stowe Discusses Some Interesting Phases of the Rebellion. Special to THE NEW YORK ACR Nashville, Tenn., June 21—The commencement exercises at Fish University this year were as interesting as in the famous old university ever had. Thousands attended the several celebrations, and many could not gain entrance to the hall on the day that Charles F. Stowe, son of Harriet Beecher Stowe, delivered the annual address President Gates, who is making a determined effort to rase $300,000, needed to put the university on a good footing, was highly pleased with the enthusiasm manifested by both the visitors, students and citizens of Nashville Prominent Visitors. Many prominent visitors were present during the week Booker T Washington, who stopped over on his way to Wilberforce, occupied a seat on the platform on commencement day Others present included Hom J C Napier, Register of the United States Treasury, D R Lin Cave, who made a comment upon the address delivered by Mr Stowe; Clinton J Calloway, one of the commencement orators, and many of the distinguished townpeople. Every effort will be put forward during the summer to make a successful campaign among colored people all over the country to raise a large part of the money that the school needs. Several wealthy friends of the university are willing to lend a helping hand, but they want to see what the colored people themselves will do for their greatest university. Dr. Stowe's Oration Chief interest centered in Mr Stowe, not only because of his relationship to Harriet Beecher Stowe, but also because he has made a first-hand investigation of conditions in the South, and has a reputation as an observant student. In the course of his address he made many interesting statements and gave altogether an address out of the ordinary. He said, in part. Abraham Lincoln, in the celebrated Gettysburg address, spoke of our nation as conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. This is the great vague central terminant idea which has at the very heart of our national institutions. The fathers of our republic who propounded this great principle were neither Utopians nor Socialists but men of profound political wisdom acting under a noble sense of political responsibility. They did not monolograte about the need not to abolish human nature. They simply mean to declare in short that in our nation there should be a fair chance for every man to develop the best that there is in him irrespective of race, color or nationality. The idea was new and untried and if tried at all it must of necessity be in a new country. It was an experiment. It was not anything that could be realized at once, but must be the slow growth of age. This much must be conceded, that then northern states were just as responsible for the existence of slavery as were the southern states and that slavery ceased to exist in the northern states because it was for them an economic failure, and it grew strong in the southern states after the (Disclosed on Page 9) DISFRANCHISEMENT TESTED Negroes of Oklahoma Enter Suit in District Court at Guthrie Against Democratic Damages. The Court Refuses to Allow Them to Register. Asking for $5,000 Damages. Special to The New York Am. Guthrie, Okla, June 19—The colored people of this state are not going to be disfranchised if they can help it. Thurs. has been a bitter fight since Haskell fastened disfranchisement on the state, but they are not at all discouraged. The test suit to determine the constitutionality of the "Grandfather Clause" provision of the state constitution was filed in the district court here Wednesday by Attorney's John Devere and John J. Hildreth, of Guthrie, representing Theodore Cofield, a former Mississippi colored man, who sues Thomas Farrell, Democratic election inspector, and L. F Leach, sr. Democratic election judge, for $5,000 damages and court costs for enforcing the grandfather clause and preventing him from voting. It is declared Cofield was denied a vote because of race, color and previous condition, thus violating both Federal and state constitutions, and that only colored men are subjected to an education test in Oklahoma because of color, the law thus becoming a discrimination against that race. The case will be carried through all intervening courts to the Federal Supreme Bench for final determination of the Oklahoma law. Cofield shows that he was properly registered and in every way qualified as a voter. He admits, too, that he is unable to read and write a section of the state constitution, as required by the grandfather clause. The law is declared in violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal constitution, and Cofield claims the benefit and protection of such sections; also in violation of the state constitution, which adopted the enabling act provision that no law should ever be enacted that would disfranchise because of race, color and previous condition of servitude. The state supreme bench has held the grandfather clause constitutional and the Federal courts of this state in criminal actions have declared it unconstitutional. A civil action was desired, however, on which to secure final decision. The suit was started at the direction of James A. Harris, of Wagoner, chairman of the Republican state central committee, who believes the Oklahoma law should be tested. The votes of about 15,000 colored men are involved REYNOLDS LET OUT Columbus, O, June 21—Secretary of State Graves, a Democrat, will finish the process of eliminating Republicans from his department by replacing the last two Republican holdovers Calvin D Reynolds, corporation clerk and Capt David McCandlish, record clerk.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Wilberforce, O., June 16.—The commencement exercises of Wilberforce University, better this year than ever before in the history of the school, came to a close yesterday with an address by Booker T Washington that fairly took the audience off its feet. The occasion took the form of a memorial to the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, perhaps in his lifetime Dr. Washington's closest friend in the early days of Tuskegee. More than 3,000 people were out to hear the leader talk of the character of the race's greatest churchman. Of this number almost one-third was made up of white friends from all sections of the state. Dr Washington took as the basis of his remarks a passage from the Scriptures: "The heavens were opened and I saw visions of God." He was never more eloquent, never more effective, and himself spoke with a vision, delivering doubtless the most important address he has made since the famous Atlanta speech. He was cheered time after time. He said, in part I am glad to be in the State of Ohio again and at the University of Wilberforce. I am glad to have a part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the late Bishop Daniel A. Pagine, founder of Wilberforce University and one of the leading spirits in the establishment of the African Nethodist Enclosal Church. Bishop Payne a Great Man. Bishop Payne was a great man, a man of character, a man of vision. It is impossible for any individual or any race to have any large degree of success without vision; without faith in the present and faith in the future. There is little room in this world for the psalmist; for the man who has no faith in the present or future. I repeat that Bishop Payne was a man of vision. We, as a race, must follow his example, and to be a race and to possess vision, we must believe in the present. Without faith in the present and in his country Bishop Payne never could have laid the foundations of Wilberforce University so securely as he did. I have little doubt but that way back in the dark days of slavery, when the foundations of this institution were laid. Bishop Payne pictured to himself even then the spaces grounds, the well-planned and well-qualified buildings, the industrial and academic departments of this institution, as they exist to-day in such flourishing condition. We have little doubt but that he pictured to himself that the day would be when the community there would be gathered here thousands, as there are to-day, of the best types of white and black people representing the State of Ohio and nearly every section of our country. Bishop Payne's Vision I have little doubt but that Bishop Daniel A. Payne saw in a vision the time when there would be few in any part of America to rise and oppose the education of the Negro, whether it be industrial education, semantic education or professional education. I sometimes fear that we, as a race, do not rightly appreciate the advantages and opportunities which we enjoy in this country. Since the great bulk of our people, 9,000,000 at least, reside in the Southern States, you must excuse me if I dwell a good deal on what shall say upon the people of the Southern States, opportunities development in material, educational, professional and religious directions. Nation Within a Nation In numbers we constitute as it were, a nation within ourselves. We are 10,000 strong, Canada has only 7,000,000 of people. Australia 4,000,000, Belgium 7,000,000 and Holland 7,000,000. The combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark is about equal to the population of America. We must learn to use the strength of numbers and improve our condition. This means that we should cultivate in an increasing degree in every part of the country pride of race. If there is any one human being whom I distest it is the man or woman who is ashamed of the race to which he or she belongs, who is in all the time trying to get away from the race; who would rather be a third rate white man than a first rate black man. The Negro in America must learn to have as much pride in his race as the Frenchman or the Irishman has in his racial identity. There is a passage in the Scripture which reads something like this: "The heavens were opened and I saw visions of God." I believe that the heavens are just as truly open to today as they were thousands of years ago, that we can see visions of God just as truly as the prophets of old did thousands of years ago, and we must begin to see these visions before it is too late. Let us open our eyes and see the visions (Continued on Page 4) 1 St. David's Church Last Sunday at St. David's the recuer, B. G. Clifton, was the preacher at both morning and evening.

Clayton Powell returned from the New England Baptist Missionary Convention, which was held in Providence, R. I. in time to preach a stirring sermon to his audience Sunday morning. Rev. J C Love of Montclair N J. delivered a very helpful discourse at the evening service. Two or three hundred of the Abyssinian members have left the city for the summer, as was noted at both services Sunday. Rev Dr Powell is representing his church at the World's Baptist Alliance in Philadelphia. There will be a union prayer meeting at the Abyssinian Church Friday evening between that church and the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church at which time Rev W. P Hayes will deliver a short sermon. Rev Dr C T Walker, of Aurusta, Ga. and Rev J W Hackett of Covington, Va., who are delegates to the World's Baptist Alliance, will preach next Sunday at the Abyssinian Church. St. Mark's Churn Rev Dr Brooks filled the pulpit last Sunday and proached a wonderful sermon: subject "Love." One must sit and study a great painting he would get the full attention of the congregation. The Bible does not begin to inform us of its beauty and grandeur, Dr Brooks said. If we would comprehend God's love towards us we must study Him through His word until we can see Him with the full attention of the congregation. Every individual, but we can never forget Him until we have learned to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We must completely lose ourselves, our wills, our desires, our indulgences in the study of the Bible. Full restlessness every plainty of the disbelief will call away but says that love endures forever. When Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment He at once answered love. Without love we could not approach the central God. It is upon the basis of the commandment that Jesus said, "He is Father." It was through love that Jesus died for you and me. The secret of outlining can be found in the word "love." A very unique characteristic of love is that it never counts wrong done to it. When dying on the cremation bed, it is out of of His great heart of love. "Forget me" for they know not what they do." One of the greatest needs of the church is a spirit of divine love. True love will right all wrongs, whether in church or in state or in the social life. True love as mentioned by Paul and exemplified by Jesus Christ will advance. Nowwithstanding the warm weather the attendance at Sunday School has kept nearly up to the usual standard owing to the many visitors in our city who readily find their way to St. Mark's Church. A very commendable feature of our Sunday School is the organizing of the entire school for physical, social and mental recreation during the season. Clubs were also formed among the little children to cultivate the habit of saving money. In the evening a very forceful and logical sermon was delivered by Rev L. J. King, the assistant to Dr. Brooks during the summer of July and August. Rev King has been with us since time but he has already won the hearts of every member and friend of St. Mark's Church. Y M C A Notes tended the Life. Preachers that sat Saturday in the Church. Mr. Y. M. C. A. took the chair in the closing talk on "Health and Pollution." The interest in the subject was great.

Lawton being the par- sons of St. John's Church dellivered to the parish and was years later in the church.

The man can go no further than the giant ask for the grain of corn no higher than the full ear but there is practically no limit to the full development of man. It is possible for him to be in his spiritual nature anything upward next to God. "In the second place we can be useful men. That is within the possibility of us all.

Such a man is always a useful man. "Again, every man can be a law- abiding citizen.

A YOUNG GIRL'S TIME To Receive Company Dwelt Upon by Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Who is the Principal Speaker at the Y. W. C. A. Rally at Bethel. The Young Women's Christian Association held a large and enthusiastic mass meeting last Sunday in the interest of their work at Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. R. C. Ransom is pastor. Mrs. Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker. Mrs. A. W. Hunton preaded and introduced the speaker. Mrs. Washington told in an interesting way of the work that is being done by the women's clubs for the betterment of women and men. She emphasized the importance of beautifying the backyard as well as the frontyard. She showed the value of parental co-operation with children. The proper time when a girl should receive company was also dwelt upon. Mrs. Washington told of the work the clubwomen of Alabama and Texas were doing. Especially interesting was her story of the reformatory movement in Alabama and of the interest of the governor and white people generally in the work. The reception given Mrs. Washington was most cordial and she was warmly thanked for her very helpful service to the Y. W. C. A. Mrs S Elizabeth Ross Haynes spoke on "Self-Rellance." The music was rendered by the Mt Olivet Baptist Church choir Mrs James L. Curtis had direct charge of the arrangements. The audience was made up of the representative women and men of New York.

The movement to aid the West Alabama Institute took the form of an educational mass meeting, held in Salem M E Church last Sunday, and was in every respect a successful gathering. The Institute was represented by Prof Arthur W Mitchell, order and principal, who described the condition of the people in Sumper and adjacent counties, which led to the establishment of his school at Panola. Among other things, Prof Mitchell stated that in eight counties there were nearly 250,000 Negroes, $5 per cent, of whom were illiterate, that they outnumbered the whites eight to one, that there were only forty public schools for colored people, and twelve licensed teachers, getting from $15 to $22 50 per month, or about one teacher to each five schools, and that the average school year was less than four months. Prof Mitchell established the work at Panola three years ago, with three students. He taught in a church. The number has increased to 280 day and night students, with four buildings and eighty acres of land, valued at $12,000. The present obligation of the institute is less than $900, $300 of which is due to the teachers for back salary. He has the hearty co-operation of the white people of the neighborhood. One of them donated the eighty acres of land, and another $2,000 in cash. No part of his address made a deeper impression than his recital of how four girls walked thirty miles to enter the school, only to be refused admittance because of the lack of facilities to accommodate them. The movement to aid this school is receiving hearty support from some of the leading pastors of the city. Present at the meeting were Rev. W. H. Brooks, of St. Marks; Rev. W. P Hayes, of Mt. Olivet; Rev. D. W. Wisher, of Philadelphia; Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of Salem Church, all of whom made impressive addresses and appealed to the New York people to aid this worthy movement.

The City of Meridian Was Alive With More Baptists Than Ever Gathered at One Time in a Mississippi Town—Gov. Noel Makes a Speech. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Meridian, Miss, June 13.—The Baptists' hosts that populated Meridian last week, who came here to attend the sixth annual convention of the Sunday School Congress of the National Baptist Convention have gone. The Congress closed Sunday night, when the whole city had turned into one huge Sunday school class. The visitors were treated with kindness and civility by both white and colored citizens, and since the convention the moral atmosphere about the town is greatly improved. A feature of the meetings was the music not only by the selected choirs but also as sung by the congregations. When Dr C. H Clark, D. D., chairman, of Nashville, Tenn., called the Congress to order a chorus of 100 voices, selected from all the churches of the city, under the direction of Dr N. H. Pius, sang "Hail the Baptist Congress," and thousands of voices enthusiastically joined in the song. A song and prayer service followed, lasting thirty minutes. Dr. Clark made a short address, outlining the work, and introduced Secretary Henry Allen Boyd, of the Congress, the young man who had labored hard for the success of the meeting. The Sunday School Congress has more than twenty-five thousand Sunday schools to draw upon for representatives and support, as every Sunday school is entitled to send one or more delegates. Governor Noel Speaks The local committee rendered a program at the opening that was entertaining. The night service on the first day was splendid. Among the distinguished visitors was the Governor of the State of Mississippi, Hon E. H. Noel, who has gained much distinction as a Sunday school worker and enthusiast. His words of admonition to the Negro Baptist Sunday school forces of the United States were received with prolonged applause. Personnel of the Congress. At 11 o'clock Sunday morning, ministers of national reputation were sent to all of the churches of the city. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon all gathered for the mammoth, overflow Sunday school missionary mass meeting, where it is estimated that over five thousand people were in attendance. No auditorium in Meridian could hold the people. The principal speakers of the afternoon were Rev H M Williams, D. D., pastor of the Avenue L. Baptist Church, Galveston Tex. Other speakers down the street were Rev R. Arlington Wilson, D. D. of Kane City, Kans., who will speak in the Mokka or young men's Sunday school class and Mrs I. V. Melon, A M. Suntar, S. C.

Well kept lawns with sweet scented flowers form a picture nowhere to be seen in the city excepting the East End. It is encouraging to note that our people are keeping pace with the citizens generally in their home beautifying.

Too much of some things is quite enough, as we have said behind some more famous sayer from time to time. We have had too much "Negro baiting" in and out of New York, too much mouth from Joe Bailey, formerly of the rope, the torch and dive in Copiah, but now of oil and wide hats in Texas. We have too much cursing of colored men in this town and too much color prejudice The situation is alarming, not only to colored men, but to the real thinkers among every color and every tongue Life, the one great publication of its class in this country, that speaks for the red bloods and the blue, and that despises a snob as much as the devil despises holy water, is like all its readers, pretty well disgusted with the attitude of white men some of whom ought to be ashamed of themselves, towards a dark skin. Under the caption "Too Much Negro Batting" Life sent the following arrow straight to the heart of snobbery When I go to work upon the levee Man) man happily dances there. Ol' Song So also doubtless in New York one may see happy darkies if he looks for them in the right place—see many of them, no doubt. And yet things come to light in the papers, which coupled knowledge, makes one wonder, if, even hero, Negro life is all one glad sweet song. There was the Booker Washington incident the other day, an instance of the sort of casualty that may overtake a man. Then on May 17 there was the incident of the little yellow man, Cain, who was smoking a pipe on an elevated car platform (which was quite wrong of him) and was rebuked by a white man who slapped his face. Furising to his own fight, Cain ran amuck, killed two men with his knife and wounded eight or nine more. Cain is a dangerous mulatto. He had killed a man before and been in prison for it, but it was an outrageous mistake to kill the man who did it disappeared unhurt. Then on May 22 the Negro, John White, went into a saloon wearing a green necktie. James McTaggert, a furniture mover, objected to White's necktie and ordered him to take it off. White refused McTaggert grabbed for the necktie. Naturally White struck at him and then came White a broken jaw, a broken nose and a fractured skull. He died in the hospital. McTaggert disappeared. At this writing his reappearance has not been reported. One hopes he is not permanently lost like the man who slapped the face of little Cain. New York is a cosmopolitan city. It should have more cosmopolitan manners. It should complexioned voters should regard themselves as clothed with consensual police powers for the regulation of voters whose skins are dark. While there is *Life* there is a voice against the cowardly attitude of a certain class of white men towards all colored men an attitude based on ignorance and a false notion of race and color and that kind of external thing *Life* is very correct. Light complexioned voters who are not "colored" will not be allowed to regulate voters of the darker hue and hotel and unkeepers we must run into their holes, for they are many of them hoodlums in their hearts and a disgrace to our great city. BAILEY In a recent speech Senator Bailey the Copiah hero makes the hold and hold statement that the Negro must always remain infirm the whole time. The Negro is a slave who has a good mind but lacks task and problem solution for the solution he has given the greatest task of his life the task of always returning inferior to a man like Bailey. How on the world in any man what ever he gets at the point where he can no longer infer Bailey? Come, the wipe out from your ered blood and give us an easier task. THE TABLE TURNED Way down in the southeast corner of an inside page of Mondays Sun we come upon a sticker of two type, telling a story always found on the front page of our glory sheet when some poor Negro is put away with red hands that seek blood. But the Sun is a wise old owl This is the story Monticello, Ga., June 18—Lawrence Crawford, a prominent young white man of Jasper county, was 1 early this morning, accordi- ports reaching there. Miss Lissie Hale, the seventeen-year-old daughter of a wealthy planter. The crime for which it is reported Crawford was lynched was committed Friday afternoon, and he was chased with bloodhounds by relatives of the girl all day Friday and Saturday and was run down and shot to death this morning. Poor Lawrence, he did not have time to blacken up his face, make his escape, and in that way secure another "black brute" for the lyncher's oak, for half the number of Negroes lynched in the South are lynched for white men's crimes. And shocking this must be to "Anglo-Saxon" civilization, for the "Anglos" are paragons of virtue, manbness, gentility and gallantry, as the "white slaves" in this town and elsewhere will testify Booker T Washington has a tongue of wisdom, a judgment almost unnerring "If white men lynch colored men, the time will come when white men will lynch white men," Mr Washington once said. And if white men lynch white men, and enough of them, we shall see the end of it, for lynching is not an ineradicable disease. TAFT'S GOOD WORK President Taft is a great record breaker, a great finder of new places. No President in recent years has gone so far in placing Negroes in positions of honor and trust, heretofore untitled by colored people, as President Taft We name only a few of the places he has put Negroes where none have heretofore been. He has sent Charles A Contrill as Collector of Internal Revenue of the district of Hawaii, he has made Whitfield McKinlay Collector of Customs for the District of Columbia, he has placed the stalwart ex-governor Pinchback in the internal revenue service and made his position permanent at that. Now he has just made W T Vernon, Assistant Superintendent of Indian Schools in Oklahoma. We have only named a few of the new positions which the President has opened up And last, but not least he has made W H Lewis Assistant Attorney-General of the United States, and still there are those who say that the Negro is not making progress in America. All honor to a President who has courage enough to lead the way in such matters! LEWIS. President Taft, who thinks with his own head and does things in his own way, we have thanked in all kinds of fashion for standing by William H. Lewis. When it was announced in the Fall that the President intended to appoint Cottrill to Honolulu, Napter to the registrieship and Lewis to his high place, the howlers and baggage masters on the kickers' train, smoke truth hip and thigh and slandered everybody in sight. The Act gave it as its sober opinion that Mr Taft said what he meant, and was settled in his determination. By referring to the files our readers can substantiate this. He has carried out every promise and done other things not on his books at that time. Talking about laws many of the shining critics who could never shine at anything else claimed that the tribute we paid the Boston lawyer was far fetched and underserved. No tribute we should pay him now. On the other hand we would that honor to the loving law and works. We love it this way. The admission of William H. Lewis is the Eighth East Indian lawyer as Assistant Attorney General of the United States without the expected oppposition marks we have the best evidence of a lawyer in dealing with the most important officer of the federal government, the United States Marshal. When the admission was taken before a federal South Carolina question was why North Carolina men were not selected for the Court, a number of answers to the question. There was no rational ground for any opposition to Mr. Lewis both at Amherst and Harvard, where he was a famous abolitionist he was so highly popular because of his stirring qualities and as Assistant United States Fiscal Attorney in Washington. We wish to write to the people that in our long and wide imprisonment with leading colored men from Dunglass and Pimphacke of Lewis and Cottrell we have known no colored man who was in asleep for political honor whose main reason for wanting a job was other than to reflect credit upon his people and through his office lift his race. Now, the antis everything who have abused and slandered Mr Lewis may care to turn their alimy tongues upon Oswald Villard and the Evening Post for these kind words. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1911 CLARK8DALE Clarksdale is the queen town of the upper Delta in the State of Mississippi and the capital of Coahoma county, within whose boundaries, from Friar Point to little Coahoma, may be found more good and brave white men than may elsewhere be reached through the whole state. Charles Banks was born in that county, and his influence, notwithstanding his removal to the adjoining county of Bolivar, has never waned. His name is still a high sign for his people. Once it was the boast of Clarksdale that no lynching would ever disgrace its records and that every one of its sons, let his color run or stand fast, stood equal before the law. That was once the boast and is yet. So that colored men walk the streets of their city, first of their loves, with a feeling of security common among them in no other community in the state, excepting, of course, Mound Bayou. A week ago Clarksdale white men made it plainer than ever before that no crime against an innocent colored man would be permitted to follow a breach of the law committed by some other colored man, holding to the old-time principle that, indeed, guilt is personal. A lawless set of Clarksdale white men, presumably, visited the home of Dr C W Raines a week ago and riddled it with buckshot Dr Raines, one of the leading colored men in the state, was supposed to have committed the heinous crime of raising funds to employ a lawyer to take an appeal to the Supreme Court in behalf of a colored man who had been convicted in the courts of the county and sentenced to be hanged. The militant defenders of law and society of Coahoma, armed with shotguns and other paraphernalia of war, accused Dr Raines of having prevented a hanging in the county, and of too much insolence, if it was he that sought to raise funds, in carrying a cause to the Supreme Court of the state, the best and fairest tribunal among them all. We have often turned the willing ear to the claim that the "best" white men in the South see nothing while seeing all, and that often they are mute when they should speak a stern word against the behavior of those who bring shame upon them and their fair section. Not so with Clarksdale. On the morrow of the night of the assault upon the Raines home more than 200 of the best white men in Clarksdale and Coahoma assembled in the court house, and with no small vehemence and eloquence, denounced the hoofprints as a disgrace to their city and its people made a record of their meeting in strong resolutions, and offered a reward for each of the men composing the riotous band. Not a man arrazo to defend the deed. Not a note was heard. Not a plea in extinction was made, but the determined actions of a peaceful town spoke a moving speech against laxness and against vane or perverse of their ideal neighbors. They knew the behind them was the settlement of a county and the local support of the white women of the county the wolves long celebrated. The Delta K. is a river in the United States. It is a strong river and it is the most important city in the country. It is also the most important city in the country. but the right will be a people for white men of the South who love people the in front of the country's population. All the time we appreciate the President and Mrs. Taft. We are planning to be in this neighborhood when they celebrate their golden anniversary and if pens are still in use and ink still flowing we shall go on record then as now. We count it rather a misfortune that the President was not given some slight sign of the affections of colored Americans, but they are not to be scolded for refusing to rush in where only those easy in the mind may tread. Mr. Taft's large success as a politician, a judge and now a statesman is due to the jewel he has in a good wife, more to be chosen than many riches, for a good wife is in herself a treasure beyond compare We had it on our mind the second day of the week, as we passed the plot of the first Pulitzer homestead in West 55th street, to inquire of him, when a glance through the *Tribune* a few hours later gave us the intelligence of his return to these shores. We are glad that the great journalist has returned to us. When he is sailing foreign seas we are always apprehensive And, then, what about that dinner wager between Mr Pulitzer and the "old master," who returned to his Louisville throne some weeks ago? Who wins, Watterson or Pulitzer, the wager having to do with the relations between Mr Taft and Mr Roosevelt? The feast, we believe, is to be served in Washington. The means, is to be served in Washington. The guests will die of indigestion before morning unless Jim Gray is permitted to dish it up and out It is a happy thing to note the esteemed Planet of Mitchellville in Richmond, Va., commend Booker T. Washington for a good deed. We do not agree with the Planet when it says that Dr. Booker T. Washington is "the political referee for presidential appointment of colored men in this country" Dr Washington, we believe, desires no such high office or distinction. As the foremost colored man in this or any land, Dr Washington may be consulted about men and measures, which is a good thing for his country as well as his race, but he is not "referee". Not only in the Lewis appointment but in many another direction, too many to recite, he has proven his loyalty to his race and his patriotism to his country. Carter Harrison is off on his vacation and Chicago misses him. Just before leaving, so our correspondent informs us, he appointed several additional colored Democrats to office Mayor Gaynor of New York, as good a man as his party ever had, might very properly loosen up in his attitude towards colored Democrats, many of whom are good and able men. Adamson, we hope, is not so much Georgian that he can't do things in New York, like a New York way NOTE AND COMMENT A Remarkable Tribute. That there are in the South white men who are deeply interested in the progress of the colored people, we have all along contended That there are not enough of them we have never failed to admit A Southern white man is the wonder among all the elements that make up our wonderful population He loves with an ardor that no man can understand, and hates with a venom that the devil's don't know Jeff Davis, the Arkansas blue back speller who lost his book, doesn't lay much store by the colored people of his state, because if he did he would be hewing cotton instead of exhibiting himself in the halls of Congress. The Arkansas Democrat is the leading daily newspaper of the state. In a recent issue the following remarkable tribute in cultural it is, to the Negro was printed The approaching national convention of Negro business men which will be held in Little Rock directs attention to the accomplishments of this race which has been master of its own affairs based on a half century of hard work and overcame the difficulties and overcame the many of them has the Negro Hold in bond with his master will for generals the Negro was at one stroke of the point of President Lincoln placed in political position with the proof of truth the globe but without the compromises which was necessary for him to cope with his changed conditions. But the Negro should have required some generations to cope with a working knowledge of the officers of the race to be expected but that he must be years made a place for himself in the country where he was going a slave more than marketable. His last words would be, "the country will be the industry of the members of the race, and all that will be done with the concession these facts will be much more manifest doubtless as a general principle. The Negro is to be congratulated upon his achievement and encouraged toward a achievement of this and the coming generation. White Skin and Black The Hon Noah W Cooper is a white gentleman of high standing in Nashville, Tenn. He is always a weighty word, and he bears well the honors of the people. A few days ago he was called on to speak a word or so before the Negro Teachers Institute, then in session at Nashville. He delivered the following eloquent and touching address The ideal Negro has righteousness in his life, intelligence in his head, joy in his heart, and skill in his hands. He is a Negro that nobody hates, that everybody loves. You can find use in scrubbing his clothes to good use, whether scrubbing flowers or laying brick, whether laying crossties or plowing fields, whether hauling garbage or healing the sick, whether preaching the gospel or teaching school. We are praying and looking for the ideal Negro, and when we meet our neighbors to rejoice with us time we have found a friend to every virtue, a foe to every vice. The true glory of the Negro race and the peace and happiness of all our people depend, in large measure, upon the Negro school teachers. For the Negro, just like one bad white man, can bring pandemonium to any community. The Negro school teacher is the white man's tribute to peace and virtue. He goes to reincarnate the gospel of righteous living and honorary military service. Every good Negro teacher is a palladium of the state's happiness. He goes to the schoolroom, like a picket to his post, without bond or security. We trust him like a Roman guard to watch and work for the state's best interest, and for his duty well performed he deserves as rich rewards as any other job. Your success will mean that the greedy dives of shameless men will go into bankruptcy and decay for want of Negro loafers. Negro thieves, Negro drunkards, Negro gamblers and Negro ruffians. The selfish politicians will have no Negro dupes to vote for vice in virtue's testimonies. Scarce three hundred years have passed since first the Negro was sold a slave upon our soil, not half a century has passed since he became a citizen. Yet today in many places the Negro stands the voluntary arm of the destines. We have seen him sold the land. His vote is almost as much sought for in the political world, as is his labor in the industrial world. If the Negro is ever to decide our conflicts in the political world, if the Negro is to vote us forward toward paradise, or backward toward perdition, then I pray that that Negro may be the Path of Negro. The path of Negro is always the path of safety. And if we white folks don't do our full duty toward our brothers in black, if we don't strive with might and main to make him an ideal Negro, the time will come when the Negro who was sold a slave to make us rich will sell us to the devil at the ballot box or bind us out in slavery to public plunderers. We should out to the Negro in order to save ourselves. Joseph went to Egypt as a slave but he stayed to save Egypt from famine and death. The Negro came to America a slave to a virtuous slave who will him to stay a slave to a virtuous slave who will him to save America from a famine of bread and a famine of righteousness. His skin is black, but it takes more than a black skin to make us outcast, and it takes more than a white skin to make a gentleman. Go see Philip far from home out upon desert to preach the truth to the Ethiopian. If we fail to follow this great example Ethiopia will rise up to condemn us, if not to inflict us with unutterable words. We work with a teacher, virtuous and valiant in his task of supplying our country with ideal Negroes, will become a Christian Hercules, who works out his own freedom, happiness and salvation by freeing his country and stables of vice, and slaving the hydra-headed monsters of double and crime. POLITICAL NOTES It is announced by his closest friends that United States Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, who has made every effort to disrupt the organization of the Republican party, will be a candidate for the nomination for the presidency at the next national convention. No one outside his circle of friends takes the Senator's candidacy seriously, for the renomination and re-election of President Taft are taken as a matter of fact by keen political observers in the capital city.

Andrews editor of The Summer Disaster announces that now the end of U.S. Capitals in the politics of North Carolina is in sight, steps will soon be taken to let President Tatt know that the regular organization of the states is with him and that the organization is betting on the President being with them. Mr. Andrews is a very wise leader and he understands that plans ought to be and now for the contest that his organization must make in the next national convention against Capitals and is a little ahead of hope. The United Republican of Pittsburgh led by N. I. V. War is known far and wide for his progress. Ideas are making a determined effort to get their share of patronage in the Republican party. That is the only way to do it, although it is very discouraging to party workers to be opposed for recognition after working hard to roll up a party victory. The Republican machine of Pittsburgh is Mr. Bryan says in his Commander that he has never assumed the role of dictator of the Democratic party, but that in what he has had to say from year to year and what he has done, was said and done in his capacity as a member of the party who had a perfect right to speak out whenever he saw fit to do so. That is very correct, and we reckon, also, that Mr. Bryan should not be damned, because a million or two of pretty good people respect his word Whatever else may be said against Democrats, this much can be said for them. When they get into power they take care of the men of their own party who have borne the burden in the heat of the day, and appoint no Republicans to office, holding that no matter how good a man a Republican may be. there is one Democrats who is a little better. That isn't bad politics, either "The Great Triumph." The United States Senate confirmed the nomination of William H. Lewis as Assistant Attorney General of the United States. There is much to its credit and a remarkable tribute to President William H. Taft, who must have insisted upon the elevation of this brilliant attorney from Massachusetts. It may be well to state too that the president of the Col. Theodore Roosevelt. We are of the opinion that colored men throughout the country should regard with favor this signal recognition of merit on the part of both the administration and the United States Senate. It indicates that color will prove no bar to him, and that who possesses transcendent ability of the positive kind and the tenacity of purpose which merits praise. It may be well too to recognize the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington is primarily responsible for Mr. Lewis' elevation. He has stood by him in season and out of season and it is proper place to recognize this great triumph. The confirmation of Mr. Lewis is a surprise. We doff our Panama to "The Sage of Tuskegee," the political referee for presidential appointment of colored men in this country. Those who had been killed by Mr. Washington had he failed, should now accord him praise for having succeeded A Chicago Musical. (From the Chicago Defender ) Mime Hackley on Thursday at the new Appomattox Club was at her best. She has never appeared in grinder form but since the time of her coming the last twenty years of her coming here. The beautiful club house auditorium was packed, and even the stairways and billiard hall were packed. The silver offering was good only to that, and the only thing that was, it looked like robbing Peter to pay. Paul, when the ladies would let their escorts pay the silver offering. If a three-cent silver coin is found among the change the Defender will publish it, and he will publish the silver in the Guess Who column next issue. Not Guilty. Lord Not Guilty The echo is still in the atmosphere giving place for praise and commendation upon the breaker that surged around the Temple last Thursday evening in that wonderful lecture "The Fruits of Appomattox," by that man who met the genius, historian, unassured logician, and philosopher the Epicetus of our day, the Hon Roscoe Conkling Slimmons, of the New York Age. GREAT HARVEST 'WAITS REAPERS (Continued from Page 1) that are in the South in the direction of opportunity for material advancement Must Be Up and Daing. The foreigners who are fast flocking into the Southern States are these clans and the Negro must see them or the time will come when he will be shut out from the many opportunities now offered him in the Southland. We have a right by inheritance, a right by the labor of our forefathers, the riches of the South and we must not let these nor inconvenience frighten us away from sharing in this birthright of today. Two hundred million acres, or over fifty per cent of the total land in the South is unimproved. There are about 100,000,000 acres in Alabama twelve million in Georgia. Five million in Louisiana, six million in Mississippi and one hundred million in Texas that means that there are two hundred million acres of land waiting to be cultivated, that means that this land at the present time is comparatively cheap and can be purchased by black man or white man, but it will not remain cheap long. The average 100,000 years land value in the South has increased very rapidly. In some instances the increase has been from one hundred to the hundred per cent. Lands which fifteen years ago were selling at from $2,000 to $15,000 per acre are now selling at from $40,000 to $100,000 per acre. The South has been increased by $10,000 per acre. Woes of Landless Race While most of our parts of the world are seeing this opportunity and getting bind I want to. I go to do the same thing. I want to see that many of our offspring lived through the opportunity and are basking in it. Land is land. Land means a position taken raiser. A landless race means a dependent raiser with uncertain emplacement, one that they are phiking up old jobs and that they a landless race means not taking raiser an unsettled race a thrifty raiser. Every person into the possession of all of this country North and South. Throughout the South there are numerous organizations that work every day in the form of commercial farms, farmers, and workers. Old King Cotton There are millions of acres of land in the Roths that are purchased for cotton relation and made for drying and for fruit growing. There are millions of acres from which coal and iron can be gotten from which lumber can be manufactured. All these are possibilities within the reach. of the humbest black man in America. 200,000 Farmers Needed I know of no one influence, no one ment that would add more to the dependence and the progress of the 9,000,000 of Negroes in the South, than for us to have, within the next 20 years, 100,000 200,000 more intelligent, successful ladies pendent farmers throughout the country, and these farmers would not be composed of the ignorant element of our race, but should be composed of the educated of our race. Our vision need not be limited to writing and cultivating the soil. There are great opportunities in the direction of manufac- turing. Within the past 25 years the cotton and manufacturing center of the country has moved from New England to the North Carolina and South Carolina. It is not necessary for the Negro to conduce to the same matter of cotton raising fle can advocate cotton manufacture in some form. The Negro, both in this and other countries, is a great consumer of cotton goods. On a small scale, at least, he can be grown. He can also be grown in another field for the energetic, panshing, educated colored man. Heretoon, in too large a degree, our educated man have felt that he must either teach us, and not enter the field of commerce. On Becoming Manufacturers The South is full of the best lumber ridden for the manufacture of all kinds of the culture. The lumber in its use is as far to the colored man as to the white man. We are great consumers of household furniture. We have the lumber that can begin the manufacture of furniture that could manufacture one-tenth of the household furniture that we, as a race, consume we would give employment to thousands of our men and women and add immediately to our wealth, improvement and usefulness. We extend the white man is taking to the fact that twenty years Arkansas has increased her horse advantage of the natural resources of the South. I have but to refer to the fact that within 10 years Arkansas has increased her horse power for manufacturing 214 per cent. South Carolina has increased her horse power for manufacturing 214 per cent. South 250 per cent. Louisiana 610 per cent. There is vast water power in the South that can be used for manufacturing purposes. Everywhere in the South people are using water power for generating electricity. Examples of the water power used in aquaguard (near Columbus). Gas on the Tallapoosa River and near Montgomery, Ala. Opportunities for Merchants If we do not want to go into either agriculture or manufacturing there is a real hold open for the educated colored man in the direction of merchandising. With a hold open as we have in the direction of commerce in the South there is no readiness to create a colored man need go about looking for a job. He can create a job for himself and when one creates his own job, he gets into a position of power and independence, and is not dependent upon the whiteness of political color prejudice. There are places in the South where we can store stores, and there are colored people ought to support these dry goods stores. In the South the Negro merchant is not dependent upon the trade of his own race alone, but throughout the South, while there is prejudice against colored people has little prejudice to contend with about this line. Not only the colored man trade at the colored man's dry goods store, but the host white people are not afraid to protrize a first class dry goods store, and the same thing is true of other business enterprises owned and controlled by the colored people. Lot Us Build Cities. There are openings in the South for at least 8,000 additional grocery stores, at 3,000 additional drug stores. There are openings in the South for 2,000 store closures, 2,000 millinery stores, and there are openings in the North for 2,000 additional Negro banks can be opened and reported. Further than this, there are places in the South where, at least 75 self-giving self supporting and self directing towns or cities may be established where the colored people can have their own major own board of aldermen, their own self-giving from every point of view. In the South, there are openings in the most precious kind of self government. If none of these openings suit the requirements of our educated colored men and women on there is another field that is ripe for the harvest that of education. There are many schools and a few Negro schools in the school age who do not attend any school in the South and there are hundreds of thousands of others who are in school only three months out of the twelve months. We need 30,000 additional school houses built in the South and we need at least 20,000 additional school teachers. That is the number of the schools that we should be realized in any of the callings to which I have referred, there are still further opportunities in the South. I refer to the opportunities in professional directions. There are individual locations in the South for 200,000 additional dollars and 400,000 additional dollars and 1,000,000 additional dollars. Do Not Lose Courage In the lines of religious service I want the young women to be the visionaries opportunity to preach the message to the more colored people to be supporting a Y M A A are situated in the country of Y M A A building and support. We need them all relations. Then we have to trend with in the South and color line of unjustified the country. We have to have we have to contend with information that people as we should use it to higher efforts to re Foundation of Baset Taft and Lea: man who in education and tutoring was able to fulfil than fifty years in Presidency and Taft. A President who is making the appointment and in of William Henry Lewis, who was found the co-founder man capable of filling the position. When a circumstance take within so short a period, who will dare be so short-sighted and faithless as to go discouraged? Truth we are living in as when old men shall dream dreams young men shall see visions. 7 NS ae eS ae 9 RN eS PRE AERA SM eRe ae ee | “gen THE NEW YORK Aca) THURSD AY, JUNE 22,1988 . very bi under > HAVE YOU CULTURE?

As a result, the two sec- tons of the country grew up on two utterly Irreconcilable | and hopelessly antagonistic basis, that of and free labor rth, with free labor, was jony with the most en- d intelligence of tho age to slavery, and advanced rapid- ly toward a conception of a na- tlonal democratic republic in which the individual should be the unit while the South, holding to the inatitution of slavery when it had become an anachronism, and the whole enlightened intelligence of the world was armed agatust it, was put upon the defensive, shut up within itself, and was as hopelessly tsolated from the rest of the world as is China today Abolitioniste Scorned. Now, as slaves were property. according to law, any attack upon this form of property was an at- tack Indirectly upon all forms of property, and an attack also upon the Constitution of the United States. In the minde, therefore, of plous, church-going, orthodox slaveholders, and many ‘such there were, the abolitionists of the north were looked upon as we to- day regard the bomb-throwing anarchists of Chicago or the most radical wing of the socialist party. as the enemtes of society and the enemies of God and his holy word. the Bible, in which the pious slave- holder of the south found abund- ‘ant authority for his beloved in- stitution, So atong these two points, the conflict raged, and slavery. when it was attacked, entrenched Itself more and more within the doc- trine of states’ rights, so that at the last the two became Identical, ‘and to attack one was to attack the other, to defend one was to defend the other — Consequently, when it came to the outbreak of the Civil, War, many patriotic southern men who cared little or nothing about slavery were stirred with the deepest indignation at the suggestion of the national government subduing a sovereign state by force of arms, and sald that a unton that covld only be held together by bayonets had better be dissolved, and for the principlé of state rights und state sovereignty, the southern men fought with a hols ardor and self- denying patriotiam that have cov- ered even defeat with tmperish- able glory A Southern View. And let us look at the matter from the southern standpoint. The party that elected Abraham Lin- coln was a party avowedly hostile to the Institution of slavery, and elected a man to the presidency who also avowed the hostility to the Institution of slavery, and who had been known to say’ that the Union could not exist both slave and free, was bound ultimately to become all slave or all free. and who in his Cooper Union address said that the anti-slavery senti- ment had already caused more than a milion votes. which could have seemed to the southern states nothing more or less than a danger and a menace. Conse- quently when they drew thes word to defend the doctrine of states’ rights and the tnstitution of slav- ery, they certaloly had on their side the constitution and laws of the land, for @ strict Interpretation of the nations! constitutlon gave a certain justification to the doc- trine of states’ rights As to the institution of sinvery oven the abolitiontats tad tueds the digeay ery that the conatitution legalized ft. and panaequentiy ther de- nounced the conatitution of the United Staten a angue wlth death and a covenant with hell and maintained that ne moral or Chria- tlan man could find or hold office under auch an nceureed govern- ment ar ore and gave all their energie to proting that geccasion wan the duts of the fellow atates So, Is It net perfectly evident that’ there was a great rebellion hot that the rebela were the north erners ani that those whe defend- ed the constitution ag it war were the eeutherners for ther defend- ed states’ righte and alavery which were Alatinet entren: hed within the constitution War Rosult of Compromise Sows can tenly ere that mis underline Ueffelent snags of our Sad war we fhe sompromba:< af Mhe caatitution utterly trrecens ADL principles s eeetine thee aide Veosideceavered aply Pe camper mise Hat could tn the end eriaty neither party, Then ram the ete at canten sere that emda) te the VWiawoart cinpromiae | Inta that entered ates the element af abicery when Nhe fee atites dented the slave Peter any pert et the Tautalyna Porehase whieh sans the gure her Bie whole natin The elise Valdera crnge up In anwer and faked whe thes woth their pe Sale praperts senhd be abut aut from tereitary which had been Lotehawed Ta the whale nttian Tere veain there ane a compre miss Mat nat a esbutten Lincoln's Death Unfortunate.

If slavery were an unutterably evil institution, with no alloviating features, how ‘are we to account for the fact that when the Con- federate soldiers were at the: front fighting, as they thought, for thelr independence, the Negroes on the plantations ‘took care of the women, children and old people, and nothing like an act of vio- lence was ever known among them? T have seen in Charleston, 8. C. ‘ monument erected by ‘former slaveholders and their descend- ants In grateful acknowledgment of the fidelity of those slaves who remained upon the plantations and cared for their women and child- ren while they were at the front, and I understand that the con- federate veterans are also to erect another such monument. Certainly such kindly feeling between master and slave shows that there must have been some- thing good in the institution of slavery Certainly that is the plain Implication of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” for the very noblest char- acters in the book, Mrs. Shelby. Eliza. Uncle Tom, ‘St. Clare and Uttle Eva, were all the offepring of the Institution of slavery and nourished on its breast. and cer- tainly an {natitution that tn itself was essentially wicked and dia- bol{cal could not have produced stich noble characters So we should not look back upon slavery asa reign of unalleviated wickedness and horror, but re- member that It had within itself, 1n spite of Its many nbuges and In- tolerable horrors, much that was good Now Fellow Citizens.

WALTON PREPARING FOR NEXT SEASON MANY playgoers throughout the country seem anxious to learn of the plans being made for next season's colored shows. There are several hundred colored Thespians who are evincing even more interest in the movements of the respective managers, being ignorant of what is going on. To date preparations galore have been made to produce several colored shows during the season of 1911-12, but very little definite advance information has been given out. Indications are that the coming season will be sponsor for quite a number of colored shows—more than the season recently closed. That the managers are showing a more friendly interest in colored productions this summer than a year ago is apparent to all who give some attention to colored theatricals Twelve months ago it was difficult to interest a manager in a colored theatrical proposition. For some reason one gets a more respectful hearing on the subject to-day. It is probable that conditions are more favorable for colored productions. Next season the South promises to be quite a theatrical center. More colored shows from the East will visit Dixieland than ever before. The col- [Picture of a man with a mustache and a dark suit]. General Manager of the Colored Enterprises of the Barton Amusement Co ored citizens below Mason and Dixon's line have evidently become enthusiastic theatregoers to the great delight of the managers in recent years, for no less than half a dozen shows will be sent. South from New York to provide entertainment for the Southerners The oldest and most prominent organization will be the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company. For sixteen years Mme. Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti) has been making annual visits to the South, and the appearance of the gifted singer and her company is always looked forward to with pleasant anticipations. Manager Voelckel reports that last season's business was more profitable than any other, and is optimistic as to what his show will do during the season of 1911-12. A company to win five in the South last season was the Smart Set Company, No. 2 headed by S. Tutt Whitney and Humber Tutt. From every where came out that the company was making a favorable impression and what brought joy to the heart of Manager Charles L. Barton was that when the season of the company ended on the profit side of the judge, it was expected that the company will do a large business next year and the reputation make the past year. Jolly John Larkins will provide a stint entender in the told especially in the South—the coming season. He is appearing in leading companies in the Black Patc Company for several seasons and with much success.

Leubrie Hill took out an aggregation, consisting in the main of raw material, last season, but he favorably impressed the managers and hundreds of playgoers. He will be seen at the head of "My Friend From Dixie" next season, and the company will be greatly strengthened in many departments. J. Leubrie Hill agreeably surprised many friends and admirers as a comedian last season and he claims he will make them sit up and take notice with increased vigor during the season of 1911-12. There is some talk of Stair and Havin reviving "The Red Moon," and occasionally one hears that Hurtug and Seamon contemplate taking "The Oyster Man" off the shelf, but these two firms have done nothing so far to substantiate the reports circulated by those of the fertile mind, who find delight in sending out much unauthentic information From the West comes word that Wm McCabe's Georgia Troubadours, Richards' and Pringles' Minstrels and the Congo King Company will continue to make the one-nighters through the West and Southwest, while Pat Chappelle will make his annual pilgrimage to small towns in the South.

Mr Cleggett is a progressive business man and is meeting with much success. Lacy Fox, the well known painter, has completed his handsome new home on Elmwood avenue and moved in. This is one of the exclusive neighborhoods of Montclair and it was rather a surprise to some that a colored family should enter this block, but money talks and Mr Fox is comfortable domesticated and quietly enjoys himself. Mr John Fitzgerald, the popular backpacker is about completing the new garage he is creating for Wm M Morgan on Maple avenue.

Not Establishing Jim Crowlem,_ To say that Negroes i a separate Charch are establishing Jun-Crowism is not true The Negroes have never made any of the conditions as they are in this country. but have been forced to accept the conditions as they fond them and do the very best they could under them The Negro Methodist organizations have tried and have been the leaders in the ef- fort to fraternize with their white brethren, but to fratermize on the grounds of equal manhood The inde- pendent Negro churches have no con- troversy with the brethren who desire to remain under what <cems to us white domination, however welcome ‘or acceptable the conditions may be to them But for ourselves, we feel better, however gmall and humble, in our little denominational cottage. keeping house for ourselves, than in the most palatiol residence overshad- ‘owed by some one else A Day of Sepheate Things To-day all over this country there are Negro lawyers, Negro doctors, Negro banks, Negro newspapers, Ne- gro business leagues, Negro insurance companies, Negro ‘secret organiza- tions. Why? First, because the Negro was either entirely excluded from many of these things or wrongly treated in them, and had no redress. and to continue meant only to be out- classed and outnumbered by superior numbers, superior wealth and influ- ence. Second, all these independent organizations are plain illustrations of what the Negro can do for himself. and nothing has helped to bring him up to a standard of recognition more than these independent organizations An Age of Imitation. Mr. Norwood contends that the Negro church is an imitator and has developed nothing new I suppose he means because the independent Negro Methodist churches have the same doctrines and government as the white. This seems very weak It is equivalent to saying because one per- son, institution or organization adopts the’same plan and method of another it is, therefore, impossible to show its ‘own ability All over this land cities are adopting government by commis- Son, one imitating the other Accard- ing to Mr Norwood the city that does this shows no ability to govern itself ‘because it has the same form as an- other. Rather than this, adoption by the Negro of the methods and sys- tems of the ME Church showing any lack of ability, it shows exactly the opposite: that the Negro has the ability to take the white man's sys- tem and work and run it independent 9f the white man to his own benefit If the Neegro. church is producing nothing new, what is it doing? Using Another's Weapons. This whole nation denied the Ne- grees ability to stand atone It told e world that it had a race of chat- tels, irresponsible children, incapable of learning, of manly action, of being other than wards But the Negro took up the same methods, forms sdeas, plans and systems of the white man, 'and more than anywhere else in his ‘independent church life, and showed hi8 ability, in the face of pov- erty, prejudice, and every possible discouragement, to take bis place alongside his white brother in the progress‘of the world. Negroes n0- where in the world have given & glearer and better idea of their abil- ity to do for themselves than is illus- tradted by their independent churches in this country. .

To carry to the less for- tunate the light of wisdom more than 30,000 of your people, men and women. have earnestly striven through secondary schools and col- legea, to obtain a certificate which would entitle them to do thelr share in the splendid work of o people's uplift.
