Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXIV. No. 52. THE IGNORANCE OF HOKE SMITH Scientists Show That Georgian Knows Little About The Negro IS NOT WELL POSTED Prof. Boas and Others Challenge His Statements Made Recently in The New York Times TELL OF NEGRO'S PROGRESS "Projudice Has Never Solved Any Difficulties," Says the Reverend John Haynes Holmes. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who is both Governor and Senator-elect of that State, discussed the Negro problem from his narrow-minded standpoint in the New York Times several days ago, displaying gross ignorance with reference to the history of the Negro as well as to conditions existing in this country. So ridiculous and untrue were the prejudicial statements of the Georgian that a number of scientists have come forward to show that he is not posted on the subject on which he so loves to prate. Two well-known men who have challenged in the Times the statements of Hoke Smith are Prof. Frank Boas, of Columbia University, who is recognized as the leading anthropologist in the United States, and the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, assistant pastor of the Uniterian Church of the Messiah. Speaking of the Negro in Africa, Prof. Boas said: There are two types of Negro in Africa, the agricultural and the pastoral. When we make comparisons we must compare them with the ancient Europeans. It is fair to make the comparison, for the Negroes, like the Europeans, have to a large extent developed themselves. Some things, of course, both borrowed from other countries, but in the main are responsible for their own development. In later directions Europe has gone further than Africa, but this means nothing at all in respect to natural aptitude. Man has been on earth probably 150,000 or 200,000 years. To take only later times, of which we know more, he has been working upward for 25,000 years since the glacial period. When you deal with periods of time like this 2,000 years or 3,000 years nothing in the development of a race. It is like comparing a boy of eightteen to a young man of twenty-one. One may be further along than the other because he is a trifle older, but that does not mean they have not equal capacity. The Negro in Africa Has Progressed Far. Along their own lines the Negroes in Africa have progressed far. Their industrial development is very high. Their pottery and wood carving are admirable, while their weaving compares favorably with the highest type anywhere. Their plush weaving is a most remarkable invention. In agriculture they cultivate gardens rather than the land, but the tillage of the soil and the distribution of work between men and women is most elaborately worked out and is analogous to that of ancient Europe. In metal work they are distinguished. It is probable, although of course it cannot be proved, that the production of iron from the ore originated near the sources of the Nile among Negroes. Certainly the art of smelting iron was known to the Negro before it was understood by the most highly developed Europeans. They have beautiful flintwork work of iron. They inlay iron with copper, and do the difficult casting imaginable. In Renin the capital was surmounted by an enormous wall covered with brass work, which would with difficulty be copied in our best foundations. In the social life of the Negro we have to recognize that he, with the European and the West Asian, forms a unit of the human family. There is to begin with, a particularly strong tendency among the Negroes to morate themselves. Among the many primitive tribes this takes the form of provolves. The African peoples are very apt and amiably like our own. "I nearly killed a bird no one can eat nearly in a stew," which is, of course, "First catch your hair." "He runs away from the sword and hides in the scabard" or "Out of the frying pan into the fire." "An old dog cannot be taught." "Tameine compels one to eat the fruit of all kinds of trees." At all times there are pages and pages of these proverbs, sharing the strong moralizing tendency of the Africans. African's Judicial System Praised. But more important than this is the fact that throughout Africa there is no judicial system. Now I want that phased, because the Negroes are the only primitive people who have a regular judicial procluse among other primitive people to say a man is guilty is to make him so; they have deed himself. But among the Africans there is the same idea that our forefathers worked out. A man is innocent until he is proved guilty. Politically the African has been very much underestimated. The Negroes have a good political system. There is The New York Age. practically one fundamental type of political organization all over the continent; it varies in different places, is better in some than in others, but it is fundamentally the same everywhere. Ordinarily there is a, king and man, and sometimes a political political functions. There will be one in charge of the administration of justice, another of the agricultural interests, and so forth. In short, it is like a cabinet. Very often the king's acts are checked by a second court presided over by a woman. That is, the king is the one who is cared for by the females and vice versa. No, not woman suffrage exactly, but something like it. Indeed as far back as we can go in the history, of the Negro there have been remarkable statesmen among them. We find that persons of great personality and power established empires and ruled them well. Even tribes which have no writing have traditions which are quite reliable back as far as the fifteenth century. In the northern provinces, where they have a knowledge of writing, their history goes back to the ninth century. I am keen to count down to the temple of Nile, which flourished in the time of the Pharnohs. And in all this history the striking fact is the enormous number of strong individuals that appear and the extraordinary power of initiative they had. They were not merely men just like the rest of the tribe, but stronger and fiercer—they were persons of original genius. One Congo king, who ruled where we are accustomed to think of the people as cannibals, reasoned out a theory against war and applied it. There were no wars during his reign. When his people were attacked he refused to allow them to fight and subdued them by infiltration. Another king forbade the use of fire and arrows. This left the people to fight with knives and axes and made their quarrels a fight to the death. They acquired a more daring bravery at the same time that they were taught to be chary of beginning a struggle. It is often said of the Negro in Africa that he is evidently inferior because he does not advance in contact with European civilization. The fact is that European civilization has never been offered him in such a form that it could be accepted. The missionaries and the traders cannot do it. The Spanish proffered proof of the Negro's power or assimilation. There, coming in touch with the Mohammedan culture, he has made his own. Assimilation without the opportunity for social equality, it must be remembered, is not to be expected. It is a phenomenon which does not occur. Argument With Men of Smith's Type Does Little Good. Referring to assertions of Hoke Smith, the Rev. Dr. Holmes has the following to say: The difficulty that Gov. Smith, like many others, suffers from what the French call an "idea fixe," in regard to the Negro. I don't suppose argument would do any good with people of that sort any more than it would convince a naffic that he is not Alexander the Great or Napoleon Bonaparte. We must just allow him at it as cry. There is no doubt that the world will haugh it at some day when we have outgrown present day absurdities. There is one point in which I heartily agree with Mr. Smith, and that is where he says that the Negro problem must in justice be considered not the burden of the South alone, but the burden of the whole United States. It is illogical, it is unjust to place it all on the South. The whole country should be willing to share it and to help it. Now, usually we are told by our Southern friends that it is the problem of the South, and that the rest of us should let it very much alone. All such talk as this is, of course, absurd in an age like this. Just as a case of smallpox in New York City is a matter of community interest and a problem for community action, so the case of the undeveloped people in the midst of the American Republic is a matter of national interest and a problem for the concern of Massachusetts as well as of Georgia, and the citizens of both states are charged with the responsibility of working it out. It is a good thing that Gov. Smith recognizes this fact. But it would be better if he realized the methods that good citizens will insist upon using when they grapple with this task. He is mistaken if he thinks for a single reason the willingness to the solving of the problem means also willingness to accept the principles of action which he represents. Not at all! The challenge of these retarded blacks can be met only by the application of those principles, and those alone, which have been justified by every era of human progress. Knowledge of the application of enlightenment, degradation with uplift, oppression with justice. Prejudice never solved any difficulties any more than hatred ever healed any divisions. Deliberate oppression has never added human progress in any place or at any time. If history teaches anything, it is that tyranny has always been a forerunner of progress, and that another people had always led to destruction. There are a million hearts in this country to-day that feel that—and there will be more. Just let me say one thing: The Governor makes an interesting revelation of his mind when he says that "race prejudice seems to be instinctive." He would justify this prejudice, which he believes in his heart to be unworthy, by chasing it along with religion and human affection as an instinct of soul for himself. If he himself from his environment, and above all from that part of his inheritance and training which came so early that it constitutes a second nature, he would see that there are instincts and instincts. Race Prejudice Not Instinctive. Some are rightly so called because they are an essential part of the spiritual life; they are others so called because they are nothing but capricious psychological feelings which seem to be learned only because otherwise inexplicable. The young child, for example, in sheer caprice will manifest the most violent antipathy for certain people or for certain animals. This whim NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1911. ALL FACTIONS MAKING BID FOR NEGRO VOTE Philadelphia Primaries For Mayoralty Nomination on Saturday Appointed Attorney for the State Department of Factory Inspection Through Efforts of Senator Peirce. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 20. Every candidate for the nomination of Mayor on the Republican ticket is making a strong bid for the Negro vote, and as the primaries will be held Saturday, every effort is being made by the various factions to get the colored brother in line. The fight has been responsible for the appointment of Attorney Everett J. Waring as attorney for the State Department of Factory Inspection, and politicians claim that Senator Penrose has played a trump card by securing the appointment, for Waring. Upon accepting the position Attorney Waring retired as candidate for Magistrate on the Earle ticket. Attorney Waring resides at 2024 Catherine street, in the Thirteenth Ward. He is one of the leading colored lawyers of Philadelphia and came to this city about eight years ago. The colored newspapers are divided. The Philadelphia Tribune is supporting the candidacy of George H. Earle, Jr., who has the support of Senator Boise Penrose, while the Philadelphia Courant is championing the cause of D. Clarence Gibboney, the choice of the Keystone party. The Negroes of Philadelphia are learning the game of politics, having long ago found out that more recognition is secured before a candidate is nominated than after he has been selected as the party's choice. LODGE REORGANIZES Howard Union Lodge Returns to District Grand Lodge to Fight Out Differences Within the Order—The Members Installed. On Wednesday evening, September 26, Howard Union Lodge, 1337, G. U. O. O. F., was reorganized, the proceedings taking place at Odd Fellows' Hall, 160 West 29th street, with Thomas Johnson, noble grand, presiding. The members in favor of reorganization paid $1.20, or three months' dues, which was credited to their account and has been paid over to the District Grand Lodge to raise the suspension of the lodge. While the members of the lodge were speaking the district grand master and his staff of supervisors entered and the lodge was turned over to the district grand master and his staff for the installation of officers for the ensuing installation. Supervisors William H. Tolliver and Howard V. Frye were appointed to install, the former declining in favor of John R. Robinson, of Manhattan Lodge, 5477. Those called to the Chesterfield to be installed were; William Greenlee, guardian; James Frederick, warden; John H. Jones, right supporter to noble grand; William F. Bosley, left supporter to noble grand; William T. Brown, right supporter to vice-grand; F. De Willis, left supporter to vice-grand; D. Comedger, worthy chaplain; Thomas Ockermere, advocate; Moses W. Slaughter, worthy treasurer; William Lemaine, permanent secretary; James Matthews, elective secretary; George R. Berkley, vice-grand; Thomas Johnson, noble grand; John Mortow, past noble grand; Cornelius Jones, noble father; Robert Jones, past noble father. The regular meeting nights of the lodge will be the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Moses W. Slaughter, 312 W. 40th street, will have charge of the enrollment of members. Howard Union Lodge has been at odds with the District Grand Lodge for some time, having disagreed relative to the question of taxation. The controversy was taken to the sub-committee of management and the civil courts. Some of the members finally decided to have the lodge reinstated and fight out all differences within the order. WHERE ARE THE POLICE? Special to The New York Age" Baltimore, Md., Sept. 27. A gang of white hoodlums attacked a house in the 1400 block of Myrtle avenue in which a colored family moved last Friday and broke all of the windows in the house. No arrests were made. Another house, 1437 Myrtle avenue, which is owned by the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, was also attacked. The neighborhood is in the white section of the Seventeenth Ward. Harry S. Cummings is the City Councilman for the ward. A few days previous some hoodlums attacked a house in the northern suburbs, and after nearly wrecking the front, forced $^{14}$ tenants to leave. No arrests made. ATTENTION THOSE WHO HAVE Houses and Rooms To Let SHOULD Advertise in The Age. THOSE WHO DESIRE to Rent Houses and Rooms SHOULD Read The Age.

Marocskus Dorsey One of the Juries Investigating Freud Changes in Battles Democrats Fear Exposures Will Hurt Chances of Carrying State This Fall. Special to The New York Age Baltimore, Md., Sept. 26.—C. Marcekus Dorsey, a well known colored printer of this city, is a member of the Grand Jury which is investigating the charge of fraud made by Thomas McNulty, a popular Democrat who was defeated at the Democratic primaries for the nomination of Sheriff. A recount of votes in one precinct shows that McNulty received 49 votes, although the Democratic judges and clerks reported that he had not received, a vote in that precinct. Arthur Pue Gorman, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is almost frantic with fear, as he faces almost certain defeat. An opponent of retrenchment in the Legislature, the corrupt practices law, a law against loan sharks, a state primary election law from which he had his own county (Howard) exempted, he is now one of those loudest in yelling that the investigation be quick and thorough. William L. Marbury, an enemy of Negro suffrage, has already declared that a slow recount will mean the election of Goldsborough for Governor and the rest of the Republican state and county ticket. The doom of the Wilson ballot laws is now also predicted, as well as other Democratic legislation that is hostile to the interests of the people. With the title of Gorman and others somewhat hazy the Republicans expect to recapture what they lost in 1899, when Candidate Gorman's father led the Democrats to victory. FESSENDEN ACADEMY OPENS Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Fessenden, Fla., Sept. 25. Fessenden Academy has opened for the scholastic year. The first day was most interesting. Addresses from prominent people of Florida were noticeable features. The boarding department is well filled. The school gives instruction in Normal and High School beaches and in addition has a splendid industrial course of carpentry, iron work, agriculture, cooking, sewing, music and housekeeping. The well directed Carnegie Library is a valuable part of the course. The principal, Prof. Jos. L. Wiley, has been at the school for thirteen years and has seen it develop from a plant worth $2,000 or $3,000 to a place worth twenty times as much, and with an enrollment twenty-five times as large as when he took charge. The faculty is a strong one, consisting of Miss Jennie L. Childress, A.B., Detroit; Nathan Gilbert, B.S., Montgomery, Ala.; Mrs. J. A. Wiley, Nashville, Tennessee; Miss Lottie Starks, Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Georgia Jones, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Miss Caribel Cole, New York, N. Y.; Miss Bessie Thomas, Albany, Ga.; Miss Daisy Goode, Nashville, Tennessee. The positions of instructress in domestic science and music are still open.

The new Right Eminent Grand Commander is the vice-president of this conference and he and the other members of the Grand Commandery of Rhode Island and Massachusetts are booming it, and say all roads will lead to Washington in 1912. Templars Parade. After the session at the asylum in the morning a parade was held in the afternoon, and in the evening a military reception and ball was given in Paul Revere Hall, under the auspices of the two local commanderies. Toy's orchestra dispensed music, and supper was served by Sir Knight W. H. Randolph, caterer. The officers of the commanderies and of the courts of the Heroines of Jerico were present and a large number of the members of Boston society filled the hall. During the evening Mrs. Andrew J.

Milton Anderson's dancing classes, which for the past fifteen years have been established at 116 West 53d street, will, commencing Thursday afternoon and evening, October 5, and on Saturday afternoon and evening, October 7, remove to the Harlem Terrace, 104th street between Second and Third avenue. A special feature of the new hall will be a popular-priced matinee dance J. MILTON ANDERSON every Thursday afternoon to which an admission price of only ten cents will be charged. The regular class will meet every Thursday evening, and a grand monthly reception will be given every first Saturday (only) of each month. An entire orchestra will be in attendance at every class session, including the matinee dances, and if Mr. Anderson's past successes may be taken as a criterion, the future of his new venture is assured. OPPOSE DR. FOUNTAIN Special to THE NEW YORK AQR Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 25.—Opposition on the part of students has developed against the Rev. W. A. Fountain, who has just been elected to succeed the late Rev. E. W. Lee as president of Morris Brown College. The students allege that the Rev. Fountain is not a regular college graduate and the degree of Bachelor of Arts, which he received from Morris Brown College a few years ago, was not given for taking a resident course. They also claim that his degree of Doctor of Philosophy was received from a correspondence school. O. E. Williams, secretary of the student body, says that the movement was not because of any malice, but because they have the best interests of the college at heart. GETTING VERY PARTICULAR Special to The New York Ace: St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 26.—Rather than go to jail, four or five election officials in the Fourteenth Precinct of the Sixteenth Ward have returned to their work of registering voters. They struck because the Rev. W. W. Perry, pastor of Compton Baptist Church, had been appointed a judge in the precinct, Chairman Kortjohn, of the Election Board, told the white Democratic and Republican strikers that jail awaited them if they persisted in refusing to serve with the Rev. Perry, and they meekly returned to work. LEAVES SMALL FORTUNE. Hannah Mills, 80 years old, a colobed widow woman without family, who lived in New York for more than fifty years, died a few days ago leaving the savings of a lifetime which will go to her next of kin, if any can be found. Where Hannah Mills was born or her maiden name, unfortunately, is not known, but some years ago she spoke to a friend about a sister who lived up State having died. It is thought that this sister may have left children who would be Hannah Mills' heirs. PIANIST OFF FOR GERMANY.

Has Largest Circulation LIBERIA'S CRYING NEED, EDUCATION Educational Conditions in Little Republic Are Not of The Best Very Little Money Expended by Government for the Education of Liberian Children School Should Be Established to Prepare Children For More Progressive Agricultural and Industrial Occupation. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Monrovia, Liberia, Aug. 21. -The State Department has been apprised of the early coming of Reid Paige Clark, recently designated by President Taft to serve under the general direction of the government of Liberia as Collector General of Customs. Both the government officials and the citizens generally are deeply grateful to the American Government for keeping before them the program recommended by the late Commissioners of the United States, looking to the rehabilitation of Liberia as an independent government. Liberia needs all the help she can secure along the lines recommended by the American commission, but what needs quite as much is aid from philanthropic sources to help to establish a school system which shall serve to put within the reach of every child in Liberia at least primary and secondary education. A resume of educational conditions in Liberia may be of interest to the readers of THE AGE, and to Americans generally. Largely as a result of the pittable condition of the Liberian finances, education within the Republic is in a decorable state. Owing to the fact that there has been for years a large floating debt, it is extremely difficult to ascertain with any degree of accuracy what have been the real cash receipts of the government in recent years. A certain part of this debt has been cancelled each year, but a new debt often greater in amount has been created to take the place of that which has been cancelled. Liberian public finances is under the bondage of this debt. A business man with good credit may and does find a profit in keeping in debt when he is constantly increasing his means of payment. But let his ventures become unprofitable, so that the debt grows faster than means of payment, and he soon finds himself engulfed. Finances Have Been in Pitiable Condition. The case is rarer where a government can maintain a floating debt indefinitely, because its use of its resources is not as a rule profitable in the sense of profit making. In rare cases does government expenditure result in an enhancement of government receipts. In Liberia this floating debt is not contracted, as in the case of governments with well-ordered finances, by means of the issue of short term obligations, but through advances in goods by the local merchants. It is needless to say that these goods are charged to the government at exorbitant prices, and that as the floating debt increases and the prospect of payment becomes more remote, the prices increase. This may seem to be wandering a long way from education, but the point which seems essential at the outset is a clear comprehension of the fact that debt charges, direct and indirect, absorb a large proportion of the Liberian revenues. Estimating these nominal receipts of the last few years at $330,000, it is quite safe to assume that not more than $250,000 is in reality available either in the form of cash or credit for the general purposes of the government. With a population variously estimated at from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000, the problem of administering a government with no more than $250,000 a year is no easy task, however primitive the government may be. The maintenance of a framework of government and the preservation of peace and order make formidable demands upon so meagre a pittance. However high among the functions of government we may rate the care of public education, it is clear that it is not so imperious a demand upon the public purse as these fundamental conditions of any body politic. If, then, as in the case of Liberia, the public purse is so shallow that these imperious demands almost drain its contents, it is not to be wondered at that little is done for public education Only $25,000 Appropriated Annually for Elementary Schools. Theoretically, the Liberians recognize the value of education and the duty of the State to provide it. Practically the State can offer so little, and that little of so poor a quality, that the people take only a half-hearted interest in it. The annual appropriation bills carry mB. yO 1 Pe lh iia eee eee Ng GRAND RALLY AND FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY a.

In a recent advanced statement sent out from the Bureau of the Census under the heading "General Agricultural Data for the United States," one paragraph is devoted to a discussion of white and colored farmers. This paragraph says. The number of farms operated by white farmers was 3,422,892, or 85.5 percent of the number operated by Negro and other non-white farmers was 917,465, or 14.5 percent of the whole. There is a slight increase in the proportion of Negro and other non-white farmers, the number of farm operators who are being 13.4 per cent. Whether this increase in the proportionate number of Negro farmers means any increase in the relative extent of farming conducted by Negro farmers determined will for tabulations are made showing the size of farms, by color of farmer. The layman reading this paragraph would be left in doubt as to whether Negro farmers are making progress or not, for he would see that there is very little difference between 14.5 per cent. and 13.4 per cent. Also the closing sentence of the paragraph, in which it says that it cannot yet be determined whether there is an increase in the relative extent of farming conducted by Negroes, would tend to further confuse him. Each advanced statement sent out by the agricultural section of the Bureau of the Census contains a small table of statistics. The remainder of the sheet is taken up with a discussion of this table of data that is their interpretation. In this particular instance the interpretation has tended to obscure rather than elucidate the facts set forth in the table of statistics. In the discussion of the data no mention is made of the remarkable increase of Negro farmers during the ten years from 1900 to 1910. The fact, that while the white farmers only increased 9.1 per cent., the Negro farmers increased 19.5 per cent. is not mentioned. The same lack of interpretation is found in the advanced sheets that have been sent out giving agricultural statistics of the various Southern States. For example, the layman reading the explanation in the advanced statements concerning Negro farmers in Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia would be puzzled to know just what progress the Negro farmers in those States were making. The Census Bureau experts should have made it clear that in 1910 in Virginia there were 7 per cent. more Negro farmers than in 1900; more Negro farmers than in 1900; more Negro farmers had increased 12 per cent.; in Mississippi, 27.7 per cent., and in Georgia 47.7 per cent. The number of Negro farmers in Georgia in 1910 was almost twice as great as in 1900 The whole country, is greatly interested in the facts that the present Census is showing concerning the progress of the Negro. It will greatly help in every instance, especially in the final publications, where such facts are presented if the Census Bureau experts will make not only a relative comparison between the white and Negro, but also between the Negro in 1900 and the Negro in 1910. In other words, the data given out by the Census Bureau relating to the Negro should be so completely interpreted that all the facts will be brought out and not some of them obscured in such a way as to hide the true progress of the Negro, as is now being done. For the Negro this is a most important matter. WASTE AND COST OF LIVING WASTE AND COST OF LIVING There are strikes, lockouts, riots and small revolutions in progress in Europe, Asia and the United States because of the high cost of foodstuffs, and the signs are that these will continue to disturb the industry, commerce and commerce of the world for some time to come. A sudden rise in the price of certain staple articles of food, notably sugar, has already taken place, and advance in the price of other commodities is predicted by experts in the supply and demand of foodstuffs. In the face of such advance, high rentals remain stationary, simply because tenants can pay no more, and the wage scale, fixed arbitrarily at the lowest point by which employees can work as producers and deep life and body together, is reduced rather than advanced, except under pressure of strikes and boycotts. The cause of the unfettered The causes of the unfortunate condi- tion are usually given as the conflict between capital and labor, for which the consumer has to pay, and combinations in restraint of trade, which have a monopoly of the production and transportation of the necessities of life; but the fearfully and extravagantly increased rate of direct and indirect taxation for the maintenance of government—municipal, county, State and Federal—which the politicians, for the most part, evade or ignore, in their tirades against landlords, and combinations which manufacture and transport the necessities of life—this burden of direct and indirect taxation, as a provoking cause of the increase in the cost of living is not sufficiently considered or emphasized. At Albany as well as at Washington legislators spend most of their time perfecting measures by which to make needless appropriations for this improvement and that, and for this new thing and that, which calls relentlessly for increased taxation or interest on new bond issues. An instance in point is one we noticed recently on Central Park West, when the pavement from Fifty-ninth to Sixty-ninth street was ripped up and new pavement put in. There was no defect in the old pavement, apparently, and, on the surface, the only explanation seemed to be that somebody needed a contract and got it. "Who is the nest judge of this?" the Public Works authorities would ask, if questioned. The private citizen, who pays for the unnecessary work in increased taxation on real estate values, which storekeepers and landlords charge up against customers and tenants, may not be as good judge of the need of such work as the Public Works authorities and the contractors, but he knows when pavement is good enough not to be ripped up, and his right of protest and condemnation of such extravagance is inimitable. The enormous pension appropriation of Congress, and the constant effort to increase them, is a feature of Federal extravagance for which taxpayers have to pay in the increased cost of import and internal revenue articles of consumption—such as the indirect tax on coffee, tea, sugar, fruits, liquors and the like. The mad tendency to tax the future as well as the present, taxpayers of the country has run riot in all directions during the past quarter of a century, as our vast bonded indebtedness shows. The interest which the taxpayers have to meet on municipal, county, State and Federal bonded indebtedness would stagger the imagination of King Solomon, and has far more to do with the high cost of living than the exaction of combinations in restraint of trade. It is openly charged, for example, that the slight increase per pound in the price of sugar has been made by the Sugar Trust to reimburse it for the nine imposed upon it by the Federal Government for violation of the Anti-Trust law—which law President Taft declared in his Detroit address last week is now, after twenty years of trial, as good as it can be made. If the Government levy heavy fines upon the trusts, the trusts will make the consumers pay the fines. And they will all do it as fast and as often as the Government imposes fines upon them. There are safe forecasts that the advance in the price of foodstuffs, begun in the fall of 1907, and which has steadily advanced penny by penny ever since, will continue to advance, while there will be no reduction in rentals and no radical advance in wage rates. The wise man, therefore, should look to the cost of his living, and the enormous waste, of foodstuffs which is part of housekeeping. Negroes are not only good eaters, they want the best in the markets, but they are wasteful housekeepers. They do not care for left-over cold cuts, vegetables and cereals, and do not, generally, understand how to make over and recook such in stews, hashes and the like, so that they would be more palatable than when fresh. Less meat and butter and more vegetables, cereals and fruit could be eaten to advantage to health and comfort. Soups and stews, with plenty of rice and vegetables in them, which cost but fifteen to twenty-five cents each, could be made to serve a whole family meal. Our poor, Jews, Italians, Chinese and others do it, and grow healthy and well-to-do by the common sense of it. The common delivered by the Rev. A. Chlauton Powell to the inhabitants of the colored churches of New York City at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, a part of which was published in Ture Ae last week, was misinterpreted by someone, who made Dr. Powell say that the Abyssinian Church was a graceschurch, and that that congregation no longer welcomed strangers. The Rev. Dr. Powell did not say anything of the kind, and Ture Ae takes this opportunity to correct the statement. There no church or pastor in New York who more gladly and warmly welcomes strangers than the Abyssinian and it-pastor. The students of Morris Brown College, at Atlanta, began the school year by rebelling against their new president, Mr. Fountain. They say he is incompetent. It books bad for Mr. Fountain to begin his work as a college president with that notion in the heads of the student body. CONDUCT IN PUBLIC PLACES. A gentleman is a marked man; he is known and noted by observers whereasover he goes. Even the rougher sort, the rowdy sort, the blackguard sort, know and respect him when they see him and hesitate to molest him or make him afraid; on the contrary, they are rather disposed to defend him from the jibes and jests and assaults of their own sort, by that intuition which constrains the lesser to look up to the greater, the baser to respect the better. If it were not so the bottom would drop out of society and the foundations of the State would serve to Carthaginian stumps for disconfused Mariuses to sit upon and bewail their eclipses. What said the faller/Trumvir? This 'Tell them at Rome that you saw Marius siting in the ruins of Carthage, and that you saw nothing more desolate than Marius!' And that has been the wall of every blackguard since who has forced himself into the company of puttiens. It is more obligatory upon Negroes than upon other sorts of people to so conduct themselves in places of public amusement, accommodation and transportation as gentlemen—modest, quiet, modestive but without fear or subservience—because any display of vulgarity, impishness, bumptiousness, attracts attention more readily to them than to others, because of their color, to inhabit such places which would pass imputed or be laughed out of contempt when exhibited by a white person is promptly resented when exhibited by a black person, often with serious consequences. It is not wise to commit a night and it is foolish to turn out one when it rushes into your light when forced to do it, but right hand is not to be forced to do it. A soft answer turns away wrath, "the temperation heights straight." Sine Sine. We are facing through a crisis in the Northern and Western States, in which the south temper has been educated out and perceived sensitiveness on the question. The hot blast of it has wounded its way out of the Southern States, where the laws have been so trained as to read "A white man can do no wrong and a Negro can do no wrong. We do not want that condition of adults Included upon the Northern and Western States. It is useful to set up the contention that a growing townly, vulgar element in the Northern and Western cities have not done and are not doing much to appreciate the situation. They are, for the most part, "gentlemen of leisure" who are awake most of the night and sleep most of the day; they have no known or certain means of support, but they do not go hungry and are usually well clothed. They are re-enforced by another sort, but of like character, who do work, but are always "out for a good time" and "not afraid of a trap" when not working. DEATH OF A GREAT HAYTIAN A great Haytian is dead. There are not a great many great Haytians living, even Autoren Firman died in exile, at St. Thomas, D. W. L. September 19, most great Haytians, including Toussaint D'Ortoire, have died in exile; always as general, never as private. Gen. Firman was great in peace, and not in war; all of his war ventures having been failures, undertaking always to secure the office of President, a tricky battle which those Haytians who have won it have been unable to keep for long, while as a diplomat and as a Minister of State he won much success and demonstrated high qualities of statesmanship. In 1890 Mr. Firman was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of President Hippolyte and was responsible for the failure of the United States to secure a concession for a coaling station at M. E. Nicholas. Mr. Frederick Douglas was United States Minister to Hayti at the time, but the negotiations were taken out of his hands and placed in those of Admiral Ghirardi Mr. Douglas, as he told the writer after returning to this country, was greatly humiliated for his country by the highhandled rough and insolent manner in which the Admiral sought to round the Horton Government to make the concession. But Minister Urman remained firm and self-contained. Minister Ulrich cooled benevolence, and pounding out that while he had signed the memorandum, Secretary Blaine had forgotten to attach his signature to it, announced that the negotiations were at an end. The Admiral was taken clean off his high horse, but could not do other than accept the humiliating situation in which Mr. Blaine's oversight had placed him. Mr. Firman greatly desired to be President of Hasty, and deserved to bey, but he had the misfortune to be born a scholar and statesman and not a warrior, and so he died in exile with the cherished desire of his soul denied to him. TRUE RELIGION The Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker is not only a very great preacher, but he is a very sensible as well as a very eloquent man. Dr. Washington regards him as one of the soundest leaders in the country. He is further recommended by his own large achievements in Augusta, including this new institutional church he is about to build at a cost of $100,000, according to the testimony of the usually unwilling Georgia Baptist. Dr. Walker knows the Bible from cover to cover, and he knows his own people from A to Z. He understands their virtues, appreciates their progress, sympathizes with them in the temporary distress that has overtaken them, and thoroughly knows their shortcomings, which are many. Lord, many. One of the faults, a chief fault at that, with colored people, according to Dr. Walker, who said so in a notable address at Pittsburgh recently, is their failure to understand what is really true religion. True religion does not mean shouting all day Sunday, winding up at the police court the first thing Monday morning. It means to shout on a Sunday because you have lived well the week before Sunday. It means what the Bible says it means—an appreciation of the Ten Commandments in operation, not as they read in some gilded frame on the wall. It means patience and honor, honor as well as prayer without ceasing. It means progress here, because religion holds out no hope of glory for a lazy man. It means life in the fuller sense. The pew while wrong is not wrong alone. It is Dr. Walker's opinion that the preacher must preach a practical every day religion if he has any hope whatever of holding both his congregation and his own place as the leader of the people. A lifeless pulpit means, for colored people particularly, a lifeless race. While it is the mission of the preacher to carry the people up to heaven, he must come down on earth to start up with them. A bad man in the pulpit is more to be despised than ten simmers in the seats of the saints. Dr Walker has the correct notion about true religion which is not only to live "unpotted before the world," but to live as clean every day as we try to appear on Sunday. THE SPIRITS OF 1892 Senator Thomas H. Carter, who died last week in Washington, leaves alive only one of the managers of President Harrison's campaign in 1892. They were a famous lot of men, as we remember them—Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, Louis E. McConnas, of Maryland; William Pitt Fessenden, of Connecticut; Garret A. Hobart, of New Jersey, and James S. Clarkson, of Iowa. Gen Clarkson only survives. Negro "Knighthood was in Flower" then, as politicians go; they had the run of the headquarters on Fifth avenue, near Forty-second street. One day, during the progress of the campaign, we noticed standing in the corridor and chatting together Norris Wright Cuney, of Texas: Perry H. Carson, of the District of Columbia; William A. Pledges, of Georgia; Col James Hill and Senator B. K. Bruce, of Mississippi, and Gen. Josiah T. Walls, of Florida. Now they are all glad, gone away, and left none others to stand in the places where they stood. Strong white men fall by the way, and others take their places; strong Negroes fall by the way and the places in which they stood remain vacant, draped! The days of 1892 are nineteen years ago. The Democratic plan to nominate a Southerner for President in Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey is a cute way to seek to gain by stealth what was lost by treason. Censorship of moving picture shows is the newest claim of those who believe that other people are, unlike themselves, incapable of knowing what they want and what they do not want. The Canadians have voted that they do not want reciprocity with the United States President Taft is greatly disappointed. A tariff war is possible for which the consumers of both countries will have to pay. The people who fly in the air have troubles of their own. Up to date there have been ninety-four deaths as a result of aeroplane accidents, fifty-six of them in the nine months of this year. The dancers must pay the pipers. Coe Please, governor of South Carolina, announces that if Senator Tillman, who is now very feeble, does not again take his seat in the United States Senate that the next United States Senator from South Carolina will very likely be the present governor of South Carolina. All we have to say is that South Carolina has been sufficiently disgraced. The Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, ized, and an effort will be made to recover the prestige and confidence the order enjoyed before W. L. Taylor, W. P. Burrill and R. T. Hill wrecked it as well as themselves. The reorganizers have a big job on their hands, but THE Age wishes that they may have success with it. The Council of Governors, one of the queer things called into existence by President Roosevelt, has appointed a committee of which Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio, is chairman, to protect the rights of the States from microchachment by the Federal Supreme Court. And Gov. Wilson, of New Jersey, wants the President to be nominated by primaries and not by a convention. Go it. The colored Republicans in Philadelphia almost to a man are lining up with Senator Penrose in the municipal primary fight which is to terminate September 30. Senator Penrose is supporting George H. Earle for the mayoralty. Opposed to him are Mayor Reyburn and his friends. There is hardly any doubt that Senator Penrose, who controls the city as well as the State machine, will win. The Negro before lining up should know where he stands—lining up is one thing—recognition is another. Some time ago THE AGE published a list of persons who had contributed to the T. Thomas Fortune Testimonial Fund. Inadvertently, we seem to have omitted the name of Mr. Chas. N. Love, editor of the Texas Freeman, and a cordial admirer of Mr. Fortune. Our attention has just been called to this omission, and we make this editorial note because of our keep appreciation of the high regard in which Mr. Love has always held the Nestor of Negro journalists. --- Will Mr. Johnson and Mr. Langford come together in Madison Square Garden, at New York, after all, and settle the vexed question as to which of them is the greater master of Fisticana? The sporty hope and talk are all that way. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Langford and Monsieur Jeanette occupy more space in the daily newspapers and more of the public attention than all of the other 9,999,997 Negroes in the United States. When they speak with their lists or tongues they, have the world for audience. Fame is a tickle jade, in one age favoring brains, in another brawn-abrute force. --- THE AGE has no objection to the small colored papers published in New York City reproducing some of its original news matter when credit is given, which is done by all editors familiar with the ethics of journalism. There is one ambitions publication in Manhattan, however, which is a weekly offender, invariably waiting until The Age appears on the street and then its writers get busy with shears and lead a strenuous life fixing up "specials". If such practice is continued the little paper, which boasts of "progressiveness," will be exposed. Reputable newspapers do not resort to such methods of "up-to-date" journalism. A hint to the wise should be sufficient. "The Negro ought to come back home; come back South," said Governor Donaghey of Arkansas, at the Little Rock meeting of the Business League. The sentiment is creditable to the head and heart of Governor Donaghey, but those of them in New York, at least, show no disposition to accept the invitation, instead they "keep on account" to New York. And what is the reason of it? Where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are not properly safeguarded by law and public opinion the defenseless will be disposed to take themselves and their belongings where they are. This is a blunt but truthful statement of the case. The Religious Forward Movement, a brand new thing, with plenty of big money and sentiment behind it, has begun to move. The purpose is to carry the Gospel to those in the highways and byways of the large cities who are not now reached by religious influences. We were once, in 1903, surprised to see a Salvation Army band marching down a side street in Yokahma, Japan, playing "Shall We Gather at the River." While all sorts of movements are organized or being organized, to reach and help better the moral condition of every nationality in the Republic, very little is done to reach and help better the morals of the Negro. He is left alone, to work out his salvation in his own way. His churches must headen out their work. The Negro needs his own Christian Temperance Unions, Rescue Missions and Homes, Settlement Works, Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations, Salvation Angels and the like. Speaker Champ Clark, of Missouri, visited "his old Kentucky home" last week and, of course, made an address, in which he expressed himself as so cocksure the Democrats would win the Presidential election next year that his hearers shouted for victory one year and two months in advance of the election. Mr. Clark reminds us* of Gen. Grossenor, of Ohio, who used to figure up Republican victories. He was never known to figure out a Republican defeat until his own Congressional district went Democratic, and then he stopped figuring. It was Gen. Grosvenor and the late James Hill, of Mississippi, who, at the St. Louis Convention; in 1896, figured Norris Wright Cuney out of the leadership of Texas Republicans and turned them over to the precious Lilywhites. Prophets have not in times past "come from Missouri;" they have made haste to pass through it as fast as possible; so why should Speaker Clark exalt his horn as a prophet? In our Note and Comment Department this week there is an extract from a letter written recently to the Outlook by Dr. Maury Stapler, of Georgia. Dr. Stapler has a very high sounding name, and we imagine that he is somebody in his state. He may be a friend of Ben Davis for all we know. Dr. Stapler is bitter against colored people, for what reason he does not say, and we are sure we cannot tell. Back to Africa he wants the whole race to be sent, because it was foreordained in the beginning that the blacks should inhabit Africa. That is very reassuring, we would have the doctor to know, but we do not put any faith in the doctrine, for the Lord took no more notice of the blacks than He did of the whites, if there was any-such thing in the beginning, and since the whites, or those who have come to be that way, refused to stay put in the land where history found them, we reckon the blacks also move about to suit themselves. This may be a "white man's country," but the blacks established the fact. Either, one if Dr. Stapler's colored patients forgot to pay him or Mrs. Stapler's chambermaid must have got in a huff and walked out; but those crimes are insufficient for the indictment of a whole race, and be rid of them in the fashion proposed by Dr. Maury Stapler. The withdrawal of the Rev. Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur from the pastorate of Calvary Baptist Church in this city removes our most widely known evangelical preacher from active pulpit work. Since 1850 he has pastored Calvary. That was his first and only charge. He was the first and only pastor Calvary had ever had. Dr. MacArthur is a forceful preacher, an eloquent orator, and a ripe scholar. Other churches all around him have lost their members, ten by ten, and the pastors of them have talked to women and empty benches. Not so with this the first of Baptist preachers. He held his congregation and made his church a great force in the life of the city and the nation by preaching the old-time religion; by applying the philosophy of Christianity to problems of the present, any by holding out his Master as the hope of the world. Dr. MacArthur has always been a steadfast friend to colored people and the fight they are making for a place in the life of their own country. The Baptist churches among us here, almost countless now, he watched with an eager eye, and lost no opportunity to aid them. His pulpit has ever been a shrine of light and liberty. It is said that Len Broughton, of Atlanta, a preacher known in his section, will succeed Dr. MacArthur. The members of Calvary can settle that question without any suggestion from us, but we do hope that the members will be careful to commit no desecration against a great church and the record of a great preacher. NOTE AND COMMENT It is the loast of the friends of James K. Vardaman, recently "elected" to the U. S. Senate from the State of Mississippi, that he is personally a well-wisher of the Negro race; that he prevented lynchings in the State during his term as Governor. A more untruthful statement we do not recall as having been made in connection with the policies of any public man. In a recent number of the Independent, Prof. John M. Mecklin, a white Mississippi man a professor of anacyte College, writes of the campaign just closed. He gives in the course of an illuminating article a faithful picture of perhaps the most disqualified figure that ever rose to power in American politics. Prof. Mecklin writes: In his earlier campaigns, Mr Vardaman made use of this racial antagonism of the poor white and the Negro with telling force. He advocated the dismantling of the moral bond necessary to actual taxation, which would meant practically no education for the Negro. To be sure, this never became law, but the moral effect of Mr Vardaman's campaign was the cause of Negro education in the State of Texas, not noticeable in the decrease of interest in and the actual neglect of the Negro schools. His son then went to the prejudices of this class was Mr Vardaman posed repell of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. It may seriously be doubted whether Mr Vardaman ever believed this possible and real possibility of being deprived together is it desired by many of the inhabitants of the state of Texas. Mr Vardaman's immediate purpose of feeding the prejudices of the poor was to help them together as a class under his leadership. Most disastrous and dangerous of all have been Mr. Vardaman's inflammatory utterances against the Negro advocating the use of physical violence to keep him down. The writer was informed by reputable citizens of one of the counties of Central Mississippi that the bombing of Negroes that took place in the years ago was traceable to an inflammatory speech made by Mr. Vardaman. He community only a short time before. He certainly has created the mind. the property-owning and law-abiding Negroes of the hill country a feeling of uneasiness, not to say of terror, less they, together with their families and property, may fail a victim to this danger. It is hard to be by Vardaman in the minds of the ignorant whites. Honest and thrity Negroes have told the writer that if they could, possibly dispose of their properties they would leave the South. They do want, as one said, almost paternally, i.e. peace. Bishop Turner's Disciple. Maury A. Stapler, who writes a letter to the Outlook, signs himself "M. P." Maury, we take it, is a doctor, an active practitioner. He deserves some slight notice. Dr. Stapler wants all the Negroes to go back to Africa, and believes that in time "every mother's son" of them will "beat it" to Africa's sunny land. The doctor must have been communing with Bishop Turner, who, failing to convert the colored people, have turned on the white folk in Georgia. Dr. Stapler hasn't read any history, else his is an unimpressionable mind. But, in the language of an old Mobile preacher, "he that as it may be," is what he wrote to the thousands of readers of the Outlook: Having given him the practical experience and freed him, we are now educating him, and as fast as we do he he tricks back to Boston. We are now teaching him the mission, have transferred the black belt from South Carolina and Georgia to Massachusetts and Connecticut, the Northern States are going to become unobearable irritable and aggressive, inflict injustice such as the South shall not break; positions being changed, the South will insist that the Negro get justice in the North. Then and now until then, shall we continue to co-operate in returning the Negro, at his request, to his native kind. The sooner, therefore, we educate the Negro, the sooner the injustice will be resolved and the South receive the blessing and the fulfillment of the divine plan. The South thinks it needs the Negro as a laborer, and would therefore have him uneducated. The North does not discern as yet the consequence of his coming, and to him it is thus the North is blindly advocating the plan, the South selfishly hindering. In the meantime the Negro is most assuredly on his way back home. And, when the time is provided, an evangelist and hosts provide a high pitch the homing and religious tendencies of the Negro race, thereby getting an enthusiastic cooperation that will contagiously take every mother's son and daughter from back to the land God have saved them. No longer an irritating presence, good will and money will go over to them alike from the North and the South, and there should be no reason why, imitating their white after the black, they should not have, after a time, to be a progressive and a happy race, fulfilling a destiny long delayed. Will Maury kindly tell us when the Will be questioned to be "taken back" to Africa. Brothers All For the Christian Herald Lucia Ames Mead writes a delightful story of the recent Races Conference held in London. We here get an idea of the significance of the meeting without trying to wade through a lot of high-sounding words and phrases that amount to little or nothing. This is what one saw at the conference: the bright reception and concert given at Charlidge's Hotel by a New York lady in honor of the president, Lord Weardale, humble, dark, skinned folk whose fathers had been found and themselves welcomed in those English dames who were rare jewels and rich gowns. Perhaps the most beautiful sight in this great world-group was that of a dainty Hinckley chandelier in the graceful fold which put present Paris fastens to shame. At the official reception one saw the young, keen-eyed Papal lieutenant wearing a crimson silk robe turbanned from India, thoughtful Chinese official named Ning, and Indian, Dr. Eastman, a graduate of Bardmouth College, who, with Professor Dufols, smiling, tactful and agreeable, seemed to be the favorites among the men of color. One of the tall handsome men of color, the gross took evident pride in his Maori blood, one of the most interesting was a black editor of a paper in South Africa, only one generation from a white who spoke good English, and it will be recalled that Mr. Maori gave Tao An a happy account of the congress, upon his arrival in August. Affairs of the Heart. (From the Lansville Defender. The white man down in South Carolina was for love of a colored girl was willing to be a slave, but certainly is in favor of social ties with a man. A few weeks ago he met his meeting with the colored girl he would have been one of the most bitter adversaries in town a few weeks ago, a white man was died fifty dollars for hugging a kissless a colored woman. The most astonishing part of the race problem is how shall the Negro man be kept from the white man? A few years ago right in Shilohville, the hot-bed of Negrophiles in Kentucky, in respectable white men committed self-destruction because colored girl refused his attention. The human heart is the same under all climbs, conditions and complexion. er SO " . 3 scenes we - eS eee 5 ta eS a ee ee eee EN ee ST ES Tere Pe eet Le MOT RO ONG ee a pe EE ee AER er ae re ants rete se EAS Bega rg et eon AA!

Country Overrun by Clergymen. So far as there has been any out- look towards the higher education. there has been 2 distinct leaning to- wards the Icamed professions of the bar and the ministry and thus indirectly for the public service. In Liberia the pro- fession of the ministry, so far from being 2 bar to public service stems to be a direct preparation for it, Ata recent church service. a portion of the Scriptures was read by the sheritf of the county, prayer was’ offered by the Postmaster-General,’ the sermon. was preached by-an Associate Jlstice of the Supreme Court. and the benediction was pronounced by a member of the Senate. The country is in fact over~ run by clergymen, of whom but a small portion devote themselves to their pro- fession. The great and crying weed of the country is in technical education and in preparation for a more progressive axnicuttural aud industrial occupation, There as, moreover, among the older keneration a growing feeling that they Rave too long neglerted the industrial opportunities of the counry, and their speakers dwell with insistence upon the need of better farming and the need of productive occupation It is eneourag~ ing that one of the feremost exponents of this doctrine. D. Eo Howard, now Secretary of the Treasury, is the Presi- dent-clect, so that we can count upen the influence of the future administra- tion being directed as far as it can to- wards promoting the economic and in- dustrial development of the country. The establishment at this tine of au institution in Liberia, based on the lines of the Tuskegee Institute, located in Alabama, U.S. A., would be one of the greatest blessings that could be con- ferred upon this commtry: Sucit an in- stitution should have two quite distinct aims or departments. The first should be a normal department. for te need of which the foregoing statements offer conclusive demonstration, This normal department as a necessary adjemet_ to the main purpose of such an e-tablish- ment, in order that in time the general system of public education may be im- proved and the institution reiseved of the .necessity of giving elementary. ine struction and therefore putting it in 2 position to do a larger work along in- Sustrial lines About Industrial Education. With regard to industrial education, tn a country Tike Liberia, which is al- most wholly agricultural, it is a mat- ter of course that any industrial educa- tion should he based largely pon agri- culture. It should, however, he pointed out that there are certain distinctions between agriculture in the tropics and agriculture in temperate climes, which must be brought into the reckoning of any plan for the establishment ‘of any agefeultural school in the tropics. In temperate climates, the object of agri- cultural education is, in large measure, te educate workers. In the tropics the jim must be to educate overseers. Neither the white man nor the Negro who has been transplanted from the United States in Africa can endure the hard physical labor which is necessary in agricultural pursuits in this clingate: Hh rmuet he aby hwere, ty ieee labor force, which consists of the abor- agines, Tt seems cot improbable that this difference in the character of the work to be performed may indicate Some differences in the training which is given. Tt is also clear that with agriculture Should be associated instruction in those handicrafts for which there is the greatest need in that country, These are, primarily everything ‘connected with the construction of dwellings, both we to carpentry and as to masonry. In the towns a large part of the buildings are constracted of brick, stone or cement, and this form of construction is that which is best adapted to the tropics. The brick used is mostly im- ported, though at the present time a great deal is derived from older bitild- ings which have fallen into decay and which have broken up.

WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT No little interest is being shown in the legal proceedings over the estate of the late Robert T. Motts, proprietor of the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, who left an estate valued between $50,000 and $100,000. Mr Motts died intestate and since it has been learned that he did not make a will, a large number of would-be heirs have come forward. The legal fight for possession of the property, on trial in the Probate Court, has brought forth a number of claimants who are seeking to prove their blood relationship to the pioneer of colored theatres. What disposition will be made of the Pekin Theatre, located at Twenty-seventh and State streets, will depend on the action of the court in determining who is who. Overcharging Colored Patrons in the South. From the Austin, Tex., correspondent of The Age, the following piece of news was received this week: The first colored show of the season to play in Austin will be the Southern Smart Set Company. It will be held on this city Friday evening. The usual extortionate prices will prevail, A white person can be seated in any part of the theatre at regular prices, whereas the Negro is crowded in two sections and is compelled to pay double prices. This is not very pleasant news to receive on this end so early in the season and the proprietors of the Southern Smart, Set, whose offices are in New York City, were very much surprised to learn that the colored play-goer was being overcharged in some of the Southern cities, when shown the statement made by THE AGE correspondent. If such conditions exist, however, an effort should be made at once to see that the colored play-goer is treated fairly and not overcharged for an inferior seat, while a white patron is sold a better seat for less money. Probably the desire of the house manager to make a "clean up" when a colored show comes to town is responsible for the unfair treatment toward the colored people. In such cities as Austin, Tex., a colored show is booked solely on the expectation of the colored patronage; the house manager figures in advance that the house will be top-heavy and that the attendance on the first floor will be light. The colored play-goer is, therefore, made to pay an exorbitant price for admission, evidently paying for his seat upstairs and the vacant one in the orchestra. This policy is not only practiced in the South but sometimes in other sections of the country. Quite often word has been received at THE AGE office that colored people are charged more for seats in the balcony than the whites pay in the orchestra. Such a practice of extracting hard-earned nickles and dimes from the pockets of the colored folk should be stopped, which can be done by the proprietors of the respective colored shows instructing their advance men to see that the house managers throughout the country treat the colored patrons with more consideration and fairness. Pute Ban on Girls Making Up White. A few days ago at one of the rehearsals of the Smart Set Company, S. H. Dudley called all the female members of the company together and with marked solemnity informed them that he had a confession to make to them. His confession was follows: Ladies—young and near young—I desire to talk with you for a few moments on a subject which I have given very little attention during all my years as leading comedian of the Smart Set Company; but after witnessing a performance recently in which the colored girls almost made me laugh and cry in turn when I observed the way they used paint and powder on their faces. I came to the conclusion that I would in the future have heart-to-heart talks with the young ladies in my company, particularly the chorus girls. In the future I don't want any white people in my chorus. I want all colored people; I want a colored show. I am sorry I have been allowing the women folks in this show and light mood much such a lavish hand. I did not know I was overlooking such an important item until I saw what a sad spectacle the colored girls in another theatrical organization presented. Young ladies, no more real light powder for mine. I want you to see me in a light mood. From now on I want to see any female member of this company of the brown-skinned type. To use an expression heard often on 135th street, Mr. Dudley "said a mess" when he told the young women of his company that he had put a ban on the use of extremely light powder. Why the majority of colored chorus girls show an inclination to make up very light has always been puzzling to me. Brown-skinned girls of various shades who could present a very attractive appearance by using only a small bit of paint and powder usually make themselves hideous by the extravagant use of make-up material. Why many of the colored chorus girls do not use powder which matches their color instead of dabbing on their faces something that makes them much lighter is also a source of mystery to the white critics, who seldom refrain from commenting on the half-white appearance of the girls in the chorus. Going to see a colored show they find it difficult to understand why they should see young women flitting about the stage with very few evidences to disclose their racial identity. Aida Overton Walker is one colored female performer who has never shown a disposition to be other than a "brownie," and it cannot be said that she has suffered any for using such good judgment. We should all rejoice and make glad now that Mr. Dudley has seen the light, and this season we expect to see the young ladies in his show make up 'to wit: the brown-skinned girls brown and the bright girls browner. Not as in the past, the brown-skinned girls light and the bright girls lighter. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

Manager Benjamin Nibur of the Crescent Theatre is now putting on four acts at each performance, with good results. Susie Sutton has just chosen a fourteen weeks' engagement at the Forabar Theatre, Washington, D. C., and will now take a few weeks' rest. John E. Lewis, tenor soloist, is making good with the Owens and Brooks stock company, which is playing at the Central Theatre, Athens, Ga. Johnson and Dean are making a fine record abroad as vaudevillians. In the past eighteen months they have headlined bills in England, Germany, France and Russia. Maude Jones, who has been cashier at the Crescent Theatre for many months, has resigned. Her place has been filled by Miss Hilaria Friend, formerly of Washington, D. C. Chris Smith, the well known song writer, who has been playing in vaudeville in and about Chicago for several months, returned to New York Monday, accompanied by his wife. Prof. J. F. Ransom, director of the Ransom School of Music, Boston, director of the Ebernzeer Church choir and a member of Handel and Haydn Society, is spending several days in New York City on business and pleasure combined. Emile H. Nelson is doing a character part in the Over Night Company. He is the only colored performer with the company and must have a grim that is a winner, as the Montreal Herald says: "Nothing better than the superbly knowing grin of the colored waiter played by Emile Nelson, has ever been done here." If the present members of the Alpha Comedy Four-Anthony D. Byrd, Ernest Lawson, William Scudder and Lawrence Chenault—are wise enough to keep together they will soon have an act strong enough for the big time. These four singers have a very good singing act with a bit of comedy now and then to relieve the monotony. They are some more harmonizers, effectively rendering each number. Ernest Lawson should have a song in between the numbers sung by Lawrence Chenault and William Scudder, not after them, which would prevent one tenor from appearing after the other. "DEACON" JOHNSON GETS MONEY. Edward M. Tierney, treasurer of the Sweeney-Tierney Hotel Company, who was defendant in a suit for $1,800 brought by Frederick Johnson, a musician, last week made up his mind to submit to the findings of the jury which awarded Johnson judgment in the City Court last June. So Johnson was handed a check for $1,800 a few days ago, which ended the controversy. Some months ago Johnson made a verbal contract with Tierney to furnish entertainers at the Marlborough Hotel, Broadway and 30th street. Several Southerners took exception to the presence of the colored entertainers in the hotel and Manager Tierney discharged them. "Deacon" Johnson demanded that he be paid for the services of the men for the entire time contracted. Manager Tierney could not see it that way and the case was taken to court. The first hearing resulted in a mistrial, the jury failing to agree. The second trial was heard in Justice McAvoy's Court, a jury rendering a decision in the musician's favor. However, the court ordered a new trial. The last trial took place in June, before Justice Lynch and a jury again awarded Johnson a verdict. After the trial Manager Tierney announced that he would appeal the case to a higher court, but for some reason he changed his mind. (What "Deacon" Johnson has done relative to securing what is lawfully due him, other can do—Editor's Note.) KELLEY AND DAVIS CELEBRATE. Kelley and Davis celebrated their ninth anniversary as partners in the private dining room of the Green Dragon Hotel. Philadelphia, Wednesday evening, September 20, which was a jolly affair, attended by well known vaudevillians. There were good things to eat and drink a plenty and everybody was in a mood to join in singing. Reference was made to the fact that Amos Davis was a relative of the late Ernest Hogan, which was responsible for the singing of "Is Everybody Happy," "Oh, Say, Wouldn't That Be a Dream," and "Emancipation Day." The late George W. Walker was also referred to and several of Williams and Walker's first successes were sung. The name of the late Joe Britton was also applauded. Among those who rendered selections were Shelton Brooks, Mme. Robinson, Mme. Pauline Dempsey, Lottie Dempsey, Mabel Whitman, John W. Cooper and John C. Glass. Three cheers were given for the C. V. B. A. and the Ladies' Auxiliary many times during the evening. Those present were: Sadie Britton, Mme. Robinson, Mabel Whitman, Mme. Pauline Dempsey, Sarah Venerable, Edith Harrison, Lottie Dempsey, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Perkins, John C. Glass, John Watkins, Willie Easly, C. Taylor, Berry Smith, Col. J. F. Simmons, John W. Cooper, Samuel Reed, George M. Hargroves, Joe Johnson, Pete De Rose, Russell Lee, A Miller, Bennie Jones, Jimmie Robinson and Jasper Men. WHITES ALSO LIKE SHOW Another colored show and a ministrel troupe at that seems to be pleasing the white Southerners as well as the colored people. Here is a review of the "Down in Dixie" Minstrels, appearing in the Arkansas Democrat of Little Rock, Ark: Henry Irving once complained of missing the enthusiasm of the gallery. The "Down in Dixie" Minstrels had no complaint on that score to make in their engagement at the Kemper last night. The balcony and gallery were filled to capacity and the crowd was made the welkin ring with applause, shouts and whistling. Barton and Wiswell have got a very good Negro organization, and the show planned the white contingent down stairs as well as those up stairs. Charles P. Williams, Al Thomas, Al Tolwer, Charles H. Williams, Clarence Davis, Augustus Stevens and Willie Gibbs are the principal comedians, and there are good advisers in the first part. The chorus work is good, too. The ollo is also worth while. La Sile is a snack wire artist of merit, his work on a balanced chair being excellent. Charles P. Williams is a juggler, fully the equal of most of the higher-priced white jugglers, and, indeed, he did some stunts entirely new hereabouts. Alexander Tolliver does a good trick buck and wing dance on skates; Augustus Stevens is a clever female impersonator, and Dr. "Doe-Doo," a skate introduces "little line of buck and wing dances." The piece, "The Richest Man in Dixie," written by Williams and Stevens, brings Charles H. Williams out at his best in a sort of Bert Williams character comedy role. The act is more elaborate than the average afterpiece of minstrel shows, and altogether the show is the best Negro minstrel show in quality if not quantity, seen here for some time. (Arkansas seems to be waking up.—Editor's Note.) SHALL THE BALLET SKIRT GO? From Paris comes the following news: The question of the length of ballet girls' skirts at the Opera is causing nothing less than a small revolution among the Paris public, and especially among the fashionable subscribers to the boxes. The ballet of the Opera is an institution in Paris, and anything that affects it deeply affects all Parisians. Now, the new ballet master, M. Clustine, a Russian, has announced various reforms and, of these, the chief is that the short "lamp shade" ballet skirt must go, and be replaced by long flowing dresses, which, he says, are not only more respectable, but more artistic. This flat has divided opera goers into two camps. One declares that the short "tuta" is thoroughly ungraceful and that it destroys the beauty of the feminine form, while the long skirt can be a powerful ally in the harmony of line which is the aim of good dancing. The other side contends that the present costume has been in use for centuries and would rather have things remain as they are. The latter camp is supported by the younger members of the corps de ballet, who complain that if their legs are to be completely covered up, their advantage over their less shapely sisters would be lost. They even talk of going on strike, and the directors, M.M. Messager and Broussan, find their time taken up in hearing formal protests and receiving deputations. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT By LESTER A. WALTON Colored Playera and the Big Leagues. REFERENCE has been made frequently in the daily papers this season of the series of games played last winter in Cuba between the Detroitsof the American League and the Havana team, which was won by the latter. The writers invariably speak of the Havana nine as having been composed entirely of Cuban players, when as a matter of fact four American Negroes were the stars of the aggregation. They were Lloyd, P. Hill, Petway and "Home Run" Johnson. The prominent part played by the colored players from the United States is shown by statistics giving the batting averages made by the five leading batters of the series, as follows: Lloyd, 500; Johnson, 412; Petway, 390, Cobh, 370; Crawford, 360. Not a Cuban player wielded the batting stick with such effectiveness as Lloyd, Johnson and Petway, who swatted the ball oftener than the renowned Tey Cobh and the heavy-hitting Crawford of the Detroit team. Many colored players believe that the presence of Marsans and Almeida, Cubans, on the Cincinnati team, is of great significance and will have great bearing on the future destiny of the colored men in baseball. True, Marsans and Almeida are very light Cubans and look like any of the other white players; but they are Cubans nevertheless, but there are a number of colored men playing semi-professional ball whose complexions are as light as the Cubans for that matter. The fact remains that the American public is aware that the big leagues managers have decided to permit colored men—Cubans—to play on the major league teams. Now that the first shock is over it would not be surprising to see a Cuban a few shades darker than Almada and Marsans breaking into the professional ranks, with a coal-black Cuban on the order of the crack pitcher, Mendez, making his debut later on. Manager McGraw of the New York Giants is quoted as having said that if Mendez was a white man he would give a large sum of money for his release, and as quiet as it is kept, if McGraw did not think he would raise too much of a racket he would sigm Mendez today. He is one manager who is not chuck full of color prejudice, as he has shown by using Meyers, the big Indian catcher. McGraw chief aim is to win games, and as long as a player makes good he does not bother as to what race he is identified. With the admission of Cubans of a darker hue in the two big leagues it would then be easy for colored players who are citizens of this country to get into fast company. The Negro in this country has more varied hues than even the Cubans, and the only way to distinguish him would be to hear him talk. Until the public got accustomed to seeing native Negroes on big leagues, the colored players could keep their mouth shut and pass for Cubans. It is strange that the big league managers are opposed to colored men of this country playing in the National and American Leagues. In all other forms of sport the Negro is not barred from competing, except, of course, in the South. White and colored runners take part in the same events, the Caucasian and Negro meet in the fistic arena; and white and colored jockeys ride rival horses on the different race courses. Then, if there is no race prejudice on the race track, in the prizing and on the cinder path, why should there be on the baseball field? THE LIFE OF MARY CATHERINE BURKE The St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently published an article on "The Great American Game," which is worthy of reproduction. The article: There is some doubt if baseball, after all, is the great American game. We play it, to be sure, but the colored people play it so much better that the time is apparently coming when it shall be known as the great African game. The St. Louis Giants, a black baseball team, have easily beaten everything in town but the Browns and the Cardinals, and neither of these latter will play them. The Chicago Giants, all alligator bait, have the same thing in city, and there no need of people up there willing to wager that they can beat either the White Sox or the Cubs. Your Negro is not a bad athlete. Peter Jackson only missed being heavyweight champion of the world because the holders of that title through the years of his prime would not fight him, and Jack pennant would for a fourth time the earth to-day like a black Colossus. The greatest bicycle racer America ever, produced was Major Taylor, a Negro. Forced off on the other side of the track by the white conspiracy against him, he rode yards and hundreds of yards further than anyone else in the race, and still usually won it. Subsequent to his side of our sat up on their machines and watched the sunlight flash on his black heels. But it is in baseball that the descent of Ham is at his athletic best. Less removed from the anthropoid ape, he gets down on ground balls better, springs higher for liners, has a much stronger and surer grip, and can get in and out of a base on all fours in a way that makes the higher product of evolution look like a bush leagner. It requires some courage to predict that colored baseball, like coloured pugilism, is to supersede the white pugilism, to someone has to think ahead and illiterate when we drift, and we therefore wish to go upon record as having said that it will. If the Browns and Cardinals will admit the St. Louis Giants to a three-centered series for the local championship this fall it will begin in St. Louis right away. Taking up the idea advanced by the Post-Dispatch, why can't a three-cornered game be arranged between the New York Giants, the New York Americans and the Lincoln Giants or the Royal Giants for the local championship? The spectacle of white and colored teams competing is common in and about New York. Five or more colored clubs play white teams throughout the season before large crowds; so as far as the public is concerned no traditions or customs would be shattered. The last time a big league team of New York City played a colored nine was two years ago, when the New York American, after finishing the season, went to a small town in Connecticut and played the Royal Giants, losing by a one-sided score. Of course, from a business standpoint, for a major league team to be defeated by a colored semi-professional aggregation does not tend to boost the stock of the big leaguers, and it is probably from this standpoint many of our managers look. Lloyd, the captain and manager of the Lincoln Giants, says that Ty Cobb who hails from Georgia, and the other players on the Detroitis, are jolly good fellows on and off the field, and it is most likely that if a vote was taken among the white ball tossers relative to the admission of native-colored players in the major leagues, the majority would vote in the affirmative. Lincolns Get Even. With the Royals. If revenge is sweet, then the Lincoln Giants had a regular candy pulling and cake walk at Olympic Field Sunday in a double-header with the Royal Giants, defeating the visitors in the first game to 1, and 9 to 4 in the second contest. The Lincoln started out to get even with the Royals for the drumming Manager Connor's team gave them at American League Park two weeks ago and succeeded. "Reddling, who was knocked all over the lot in the game at American League Park, was the star of the double-header, pitching both games and earning the name of the "Iron Man." He allowed the Royal Giants five hits in the first game and nine in the second Eight Royals streak one in the first contest and nine in the second. Reddling's record for the afternoon being 17 strikeouts. Earl started to pitch for the Royal Giants in the first game, but retired in the second inning after four runs had been made off his delivery. He was relieved by Crawford, who held the Lincoln scoreless during the rest of the game. His attempt to follow Rodling's example and pitch both games proved disastrous, however, as he CRESCENT THEATRE 36-38 West 135th Street VAUDEVILLE MOVING PICTURES Box Office open from 1 to 11 P.
