Large Army of Colored Baptists Will Invade the United States Capitol Tuesday, May 7, 1912 Jaye Small Committee Have Gone Very Little Good-Thinks 5,000 Will Make Them Sit Up and Take Notice. Tuesday, May 7, 1912, has been the date selected by the colored Baptists of the country to make their march to Washington, D. C., 5,000 strong, with a view to demanding fair play for the Negroes of the United States. The colored Baptists are really in earnest in the movement, and making preparations for the pilgrimage, at which time President Taft and the members of Congress will be visited. The idea to march 5,000 Baptists to Washington in the interest of the Negro has been at the annual session of the New England Baptist Missionary convention, field last June at Providence, I. L., where a resolution was adopted authorizing the appointment of a committee of three to raise a sub-committee 5,000. Since the convention in Providence the committee of three has been active. R. A. Mark Harris Tolla of Plans. One of the strong advocates of the movement is the Rev. A. Mark Harris, snow of the Union Street Baptist March, Jersey City, N. J., who made the following statement to a representative of The Ace: Recent disgraceful happenings in these parts demonstrate conclusively that the Negro problem is no longer addressed to the South. The burning of each Walker proves that he is not the Negro safe bush thugs and hoodlums go on the path. No one, ever dreamed or ought of the possibility of such an it of savage being committed in the Quaker commonwealth of Pennsylvania by William Penn, who loved it. But it did happen, and the Lord's Day. The quiet of that Holy Day was by the multitudinous howl of a bathhitry crowd of demons, disused in the form of human belongs, to their ghastly work by some of so-called beat white citizens of moscille, and unless the last of the commission of those barbaric deeds, the time come when the dying groans of a hero will be heard coming from the set where Crispus Attucks fell, and fair name of Massachusetts will come a stench in the nostrils of men. Let no Negro idly say that there is a New York or Boston. I will tell you at the only thing lacking is some one enough to lead the crowd, and world will be startled with the war of a 'Negro Burned in Broadway,' another about 'Negro Lynched on Anton Commons.' Washington, the total of the nation, has tried to "Jim" the Negro; Baltimore, the Negro; Delaware has had Norroe; Pennsylvania is stifled the smoke of a recent burning; New Jersey joined the ranks some ago when a minister preached a son which resulted in the lynching a Negro; New York City has for refused to serve colored men in place, and the waves were the rushing of a midsize wave, being the dead and wounded in its Visit President and Members of Congress. Will we have our backs to the lash ever, and view in silence the murders of our people? We answer. No shall go to Washington five thousand strong and memorialize the Preacher, the members of the Senate and House of Representatives in defense of the rights of all shall demand in respect to inter-state passage and ask Congressmen to use their science in their several states to wish the segregation laws. We shall also demand that Congress abolish disfranchisement in the South by taking the Federal elections such disfranchisement Congress can enact law giving the Federal courts jurisdiction in all cases of lynching and violence on the ground that the persecuting such lawlessness is about a Republican form of government and is in a state of anarchy. If we all have seized the Congress and did their duties in lynching about these rebellions we shall meet them at the polls defeat them. Results of Race Have Been Always Ignored. Now they under the sun can get hearing at Washington and have their demands granted but the Negro we have sent committees of ten, twenty of thirty and of fifty, but we have been looked upon as self-identified leaders, and are the door had behind them, their appeal had The New found its way to the waste basket, and nothing was done. But when five thousand of us shall march up to the White Hour, after holding a half hour prayer service in every church in the capitol city, there will be no question of leadership. The world will know that at last the race has decided to demand its rights, and will not take no for an answer. It is certain that no one who has red blood in their veins and a conscience will say that they are satisfied with the conditions in this country, of which we form no small part, and for which we form our lives on the Beld of battle, there are no contend that the white people of the South know best how to deal with the Negro, and that they are among his friends. If to be hung to a convenient limb and to be burned at the stake are acts of friendship, then may God deliver us from our friends. And his orth in a Baptist convention it is by no means confined to the Baptists alone. Indeed, it is a race movement and we therefore call on every man and woman of the race to write at once to the Senator and Congressman of their district, telling them of the movement and request them to meet at the gate of the capital, on the morning of May 7 next, and head the line of march up to the White House. It is confidently expected that every pastor, regardless of denomination, will at once get in touch with headquarters and arrange for meetings to be held in the town, which have secured the services of some of the most important in the race, and their voices will be heard from now until the close of the campaign. COLORED MEN TO STAY Employees in Supervising Architect's Office Slated to Go November 30 Will Be Retained. Thanks to Secretary Mia Leigh-Cabinet Official Issues Order Special to The New York Age Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—A number of colored employees of the Supervising Architect's office, which is under the Treasury Department, had cause to feel grateful to Secretary MacVeagh of the Treasury Department for not being dropped from the payroll. Because of a reported insufficient appropriation, a number of employees of the Architect's office, most of them draughtsmen and superintendents of construction, were notified of their dismissal on November 30. Those marked for decapitation included all of the colored draughtsmen, three in number, and all the colored superintendents of construction, two in number, and two or three messengers. The including of all the colored high grade employees of the Architect's office in the list of those to be dismissed, on its face, appeared to the colored people like a policy of elimination of colored employees from that bureau, and it has always been suspected that the colored employee, no matter how efficient, was persoona non grata in that office. However, when the eagle eye of Secretary MacVeagh scanned the list and found all the colored employees included to be dismissed, "for lack of appropriation," he gave instructions that none of the colored employees should be dismissed. Secretary MacVeagh's order not only carried joy to the hearts of those colored men who had been picked to go, but it has been most pleasing to colored men throughout the country who have always sized up Secretary MacVeagh as one cabinet officer who will not stand for color discrimination in his department. Incidentally it might be mentioned that Secretary MacVeagh has more Negroes employed in his department at high salaries than any other department of the Government service, and early in his administration he announced that there would not be any less while he was secretary. The fact is there are now more under him than there were when he made this statement, Emmett J. Scott, Chas. Cottrill, Internal Revenue Collector at Honolulu, and Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback being new places under Mr. MacVeagh. MARYLAND DEMOCRATS UNEASY Special to The New York Agn: Baltimore, Md., Oct. 3.—With nearly 100 Democratic and Republican election officials already under indictment for alleged cheating in favor of the Democratic organization candidates, in the recent state primaries and the signing of an order by Judge Duffy calling for the opening of ballot boxes of municipal primaries and election last spring, the troubles of the Democrats are increasing daily. The examination of scattered precincts throughout the city show evidences of general fraud for Democratic candidates in the recent primaries, and the general opinion is that men high up in the Democratic organization will be indicted for directing the big steal. The order for the opening of the ballot boxes used in the spring election may show that Mayor Preston did not defeat J. Barry Mahool for the Democratic mayoralty nomination by 20,000 majority, and may also show that Preston did not defeat F. Clay Timanus, the Republican nominee, by less than 800 majority. All of these disclosures forebode evil days for Democracy and Republican success grows brighter daily. Disfranchise and other anti-Negro measures are being forgotten by the frantic Democratic candidate. NEW YORK, THURSDA Twenty-ix Are in Fever of Bruce's Burden n to Three Against - The Activities of Dr. Trounall Puzzling. Washington, Oct. 3.—The school situation here, which has been at white heat for the past two weeks, due to the three colored members of the Board of Education striving to have Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce dismissed as superintendent of the colored schools, is somewhat quiet. The alliance of R. R. Horner, Dr. Tunnell and Mrs. Harris, the three colored members to oust Mr. Bruce has thus far failed to produce results, and the rumor is that the ranks of this "unholy alliance," as it is being termed, is approaching disintegration. The fact that the combine, could not find, nor trump up any specific charges against Mr. Bruce, and the fact their opposition to him was based solely upon either a desire to "get even" or in order to put in favorites has solidified public sentiment in favor of Mr. Bruce. Dr. Tunnell's attempt to get the ministers of this city, as a body, to resolute against Mr. Bruce, and in support of the combine's attempt to oust him, met with signal defeat, twenty-six ministers voting for Bruce and only three standing with Dr. Tunnell. Dr. Tunnell's activities against Mr. Bruce, without rhyme or reason, it is said, may have the effect of proving a boomerang for him and will do Howard University no good, since Dr. Tunnell is a member of Howard's faculty as well as member of the school board. There are some who argue, and not without good reason, that Dr. Tunnell's course will cause Howard University to lose students who might enter that institution were it not for the antipathy against Dr. Tunnell because of his stirring up troubles in the schools. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE People here are getting disgusted with the annual fight in the schools, but feel that there is no hope for a cessation until at least two of the colored members on the board: retired. Mr. Horner, if he stands by his word, will soon resign, as he stated that if over-ruled in this Bruce matter the colored members would resign. If they respect their word, Mr. Horner and Mr. Tunnell will promptly hand in their resignations. The people have over-ruled them by a large majority. OPENING OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Special to THE NEW YORK AOB Lincoln University, Pa., Oct. 3.—Lincoln University opened for the fifty-seventh academic year on Thursday, September 21. As usual at this time of year, the campus is most beautiful and the surrounding woods and fields offer to the gaze one of the most attractive landscapes to be seen in this favored part of one of the most charming districts of Pennsylvania. To date twenty-eight men have been enrolled in the freshman class. This represents a selection from the sixty or more who made application. Each of the applicants accepted was able to meet the satisfaction of the faculty the fourteen units of preparatory work demanded as a condition of entrance. The units were adopted by the Carnegie Foundation as the standard for an institution of collegiate rank and represent a four years' high school course or its equivalent. Of the twenty-eight enrolled, seven are graduates of well-equipped up-to-date high schools, mostly in the Northern States; six are from academies; eight are from the Downingtown Normal and Industrial School, where a Lincoln preparatory class is trained each year under the efficient management of Dr. Creditt and Professor Hedgman; three completed the college preparatory course at Haines Institute, Augusta, Ga., and four were privately prepared. The States and countries represented are: Pennsylvania, five; Virginia, four; North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, three each; New York, New Jersey and South America, two each; Delaware, Maryland, Oklahoma, South Africa and Canada, one each. It is now four years since Lincoln University discontinued all sub-freshman work and resolved to confine the education given to work of a collegiate grade. This is the only institution for the higher education of the colored man in the United States that has taken this step; the bulk of the work done and the majority of the students enrolled in all the other similar institutions is of grade equivalent to that in the grammar and the high school. This means that the faculty is hampered in the attempt to carry on work both in the preparatory department as well as in the college. Sooner or later, however, all will doubtless have to come to the adoption of that part of the constitution of the College Entrance Examination Board, which says: "There shall be no pre- York Age.

The teaching force resumed it was with the exception that he became President, a recent graduate of Columbia University, New York City, has been engaged to give instruction in Greece and Latin a course in Biology with laboratory work for those preparing to study medicine will also be given. Of the professors, Dr. R. L. Stewart passed the summer on the Pacific Coast; Dr. G. B. Carr was in Great Britain and Prof James Carter on the Caribbean. Prof Carter was given leave of absence in March, and expects to return on November 1. He has been engaged in research work in Italy and France, and represented the university at the meeting of archaeologists held in Rome. FORMING A REGIMENT Not discouraged by the failure of Gov. Dix and a Democratic-Legislature to give them a Negro regiment as promised before last November's election, a movement is now being made to first organize a provisional regiment and then make an effort to have it made a part of the State militia. The following order has been issued: General Orders No. I. Upon the approval of the Equity Congress to organize a provisional regiment in keeping with the spirit of the Congress and the demand of the colored people of the State of New York, the following officers have been appointed to carry into effect the proposed regiment for the State of New York: II. The following field officers have been selected and will assume command in the regiment; Charles W. Fillmore, colonel-commanding; J. Frank Wheaton, lieutenant-colonel; majors: Herbert Jackson, E. L. Reed and Herman Blunt. The commanding officer has appointed J. A. Jaxon as captain and adjutant. 111. The commanding officer and the respective majors will report to these headquarters the personnel of their staffs not later than Sunday, October 8, 1911, to consist of the following regimental staff: Major and surgeon, captain and secretary, captain and quartermaster, captain and adjuster, captain and assistant surgeon, captain and signal officer, captain and inspector of rifle practice, captain and chaplain. Regimental non-commissioned staff: Serguei-major, quartermaster sergeant, commissary-sergeant. The field musicians and band will consist of forty pieces, hospital corps to consist of thirty-six men, signal corps to consist of twenty-four men. Battalion staff as follows: First lieutenant and adjutant, first lieutenant and quartermaster, and first lieutenant and commissary. Non-commissioned staff: Sergeant-major, quartermaster-sergeant and commissary-sergeant. These orders are hereby promulgated to take effect and be obeyed accordingly. By order of CHARLES W. FILMORE. Captain-Adjutant. The headquarters of the regiment is 89 W.134th street. TRAINING SCHOOL GETS PREMIUM Special to The New York Age Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 3.--The Appalachian Exposition, a mammoth presentation of Southern progress, held annually at Knoxville, Tenn., has just closed. The exposition is the work of the best white men and women of the South. This year they extended an invitation to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs to deliver a special address, and so anxious were they that she attend that they had their special representative at Pittsburgh, Pa., to insist upon her coming. Miss Burroughs had to decline because she is now in the midst of the erection of a new building at Lincoln Douglas and had to be on the grounds to arrange the details of the work under construction. She was also asked to send an exhibition of the work done by the school. She complied with the request, and the good news comes that the institution received one of the best premiums offered for fine work, and the prizes were awarded by Southern white judges. NEW REVENUE DEPUTY. Collector Charles W. Anderson has appointed Virgil H. Parks as a deputy collector in the Second Internal Revenue District of New York. Mr. Parks has a military record, having served as a trooper in the Ninth Cavalry, and also as a member of the 24th Infantry. He was slightly wounded at the battle of San Juan Hill. Bee, Solomon M. Hardwood, Steps The Colored Menace We Do Not Take Advantage of Their Rights. There is still much agitation in the Methodist Episcopal Church over the question of the practicability of the colored members leaving the parent body. Many of both races are unalterably opposed to the plan, while others are strongly in favor of it. Although the matter has been discussed pro and con for several months, no steps have been taken to definitely settle what seems to be a "burning issue." Among those who do not relish the idea of the colored members leaving the M. E. Church is the Rev. Sylvester H. Norwood, pastor of St. Paul M. E. Church, of Baltimore. The Rev. Dr. Norwood claims that the colored members of the M. E. Church do not lack equal rights but ability and preparation to use their rights. He recently discussed the subject with a representative of THE ACK, expressing himself as follows: The colored members of the M. E. Church have all the rights of membership in the church. They become members, hold membership, transfer it, and lose it in the same way that the white members do. They hold property in the same way. They belong to all the administrative, judicial and legislative bodies of the church. We have representation in the General Conference, and help make the laws of the church. The colored members of the Protestant Episcopal Church have no membership in the law-making body, something we have had all the time, and something that has been given us by the white membership of our church. So, the effort of the colored membership in the Protestant Episcopal Church is to secure what we have had all the time. "What we lack is not equal rights, but ability and preparation to use our rights. The white members have legislated our rights to us. They cannot use them for us. Therefore, if use them they do, they use them for themselves. For forty years we have been members of the body that makes all the laws and elects all the general officers of the church. It is no fault of the law nor of the white members that we have had no bishop, but it is to their credit that we have general officers we have. We never have had enough colored members in the General Conference to elect a colored man to any position. They have been elected by white men. We have all the rights, but lack ability in numbers (and here the seceding colored members, were they home, could help us), and preparation. Should Use Judgment in Selecting Delegates. "Having all the rights, the thing for us to do is to get the number or so husband what we have that we may get what else we need through the white members that have already give us so very much. Therefore, we ought to be very careful in selecting delegates to our law-making bodies, not selfish men seeking a job or seeking to retain the one they have, not over-ambitious, not over-educated, not adjusted to his environment, and unable to create environment commensurate and in advance of himself so that he may be developed. We should do the best we can and stop grumbling about what we cannot do, as by that we advertise our weakness and depreciate and humiliate ourselves in the eyes of the public. No, we are denied no rights, in the church. Let us grow and he men enough to exercise them. The following from the Methodist, in Baltimore, indicates a principle that must in the end work in the favor of all men. I suppose the editor-meant it for all of God's redemption. It is in the issue of September 28, 1911, under "What Would Jesus Do?" We discourse learnedly about sociology, the social engineer and kindred topics, but we do not eat with the socially unfit. We undertake the amelioration of social conditions theoretically: Jesus gave himself. The condition of the morally debased will never be improved by Church running away from them. Men can not, the sisters, be handled with tongs. The personal touch, the warm hand-lap, the sympathetic eye and voice, our selfhood must be given if we would show men a vision of better things. Jaque gave himself for the world's indulgence, "we can do no less for the privileged than the poor," he explained to the program. He continued for: "Whether the Methodist meant for us or not, it just the one case, and we get comfort out of it. Let those who know better stop saying, and those who do not know better learn to stop saying that the colored members in the M. K. Church are denied equal rights in their church." ORPHAN HOME DEDICATED Two Hundred Persons Attend Bid- tary Services at the Howard Colour- dish Anglum's New Home at King's Park. Special to The New York Times Dedicatory services at the new home of the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum at Kings Park, Wednesday, September 27, were attended by about 200 persons, white and colored. The Rev. Hester Sinclair, pastor of the Church of the Messiah, was the principal speaker, and dedicated the 10 new cottages just completed. Others who spoke were Deputy Commissioner Fogarty, of the Charities Department; Dr. Owen M. Waller, chairman of the committee of arrangements, and the Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Manhattan. The farm has a splendid supply of water and an up-to-date electric light plant, and is regarded as one of the best equipped institutions of its kind in the country. Every facility for the fullest development of the children will be employed and put into operation. The Rev. James H. Gordon, D. D., is superintendent of this institution, assisted by his wife, who is matron, and an excellent corps of teachers. Dinner was served and the visitors were driven over the grounds. All were delighted with the management and outlook. The asylum for years was located at 1550 Dean street and was considered one of the landmarks of Brooklyn. Owing to the increase in numbers and the growing demand for better facilities, the board of managers, after careful consideration, decided to seek more commodious quarters. Their first venture resulted in the purchase of a farm at St. James. Not long after the children had been transferred to that site one of the main buildings was built and was demolished, to which a large portion of the year's supply of vegetables, preserves, and even the wearing apparel of the children. It did not take long to discover that this venture was not adequate to the situation, and a second search for a suitable locality was instituted, whereupon the present site at Kings Park was selected and purchased by the board of management, of which the venerable R. M. Whiting is president. The last farm, which is splendidly adapted to agriculture, is stocked with cattle, 50 pigs, 10 horses and cows, enough to supply milk and butter for nearly 300. PROF. TORBERT KILLED Special to The New York ADR Piedmont, Ga. Oct. 2.-The friends of Prof. J. H. Torbet, assistant principal and financial agent of the High and Industrial School at Fort Valley, and which occurred to learn of his death, which occurred recently in an accident, while he was returning from Barnesville on a business trip. His horse ran away, throwing him from the buggy, sustaining injuries from which he died the following evening at his home at Piedmont, Ga. Professor Torbert was one of the most intelligent, influential and widely known colored men in the United States. He was for many years associated with Principal H. A. Hunt in the work at Fort Valley and through its ingenuity and co-operation the institution has grown from a hut to one of the best equipped industrial schools in the South. Professor Torbert's work was chiefly in the North, where he was unusually successful in raising funds and interesting substantial friends in the school work. While this misfortune has come at the opening of school and has in a measure upset the plans for the year, yet school will open this week with greater signs of a record-breaking attendance than in the history of the institution. FIREMEN STRIKE Special Correspondency of The Age Augusta, Ga., Oct. 3—Service on the Georgia & Florida Railroad is paralyzed owing to the strike of the firemen, which was declared last week. The white firemen went out on a strike for more wages and the colored firemen struck in sympathy. The situation is a peculiar one. An alarming feature of the situation is that many people along the line are in sympathy with the strikers and are siding in tying up traffic. The mobs which have held up the trains were composed of whites and Negroes. The Negroes are as violent as the whites and declare that no trains shall run until the road grants the demands of the Negro firemen. WIN FIRST PRIZE AT FAIR Westbury, I. I., October 4—The Queenan Brothers, breeders of poultry, won first prize on a Pekin drake at the Mineola Fair a few days ago. The colored poultry raisers competed against a millionaire and other white duck breeders, getting the bline ribbon in the face of hot competition, some of the ducks on exhibition having won first prizes for their owners at Madison Square Garden last year. Special to The New York Acm Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 8, 1911. Dr. W. A. Fountain, Dear Sir: We, the undersigned students of Morris Brown College, having taken under consideration all the facts connected with the presidency of Morris Brown College, present you the following community: Morris Brown holds first place in our hearts, and naturally all our efforts are for her advancement. We believe that our school is second to none in this community and accordingly desire that all things in connection with the school be the best. Our school has suffered criticisms in the past, criticisms that we had ever ever tried to challenge, for we knew they were unjust. We wish our college to be a college among colleges and to do that we must continually raise the standard. Morris Brown College through the uniting efforts of our late president was fast approaching the pinnacle of her success, and in order to be checked, we need at this time a man trained in college work and recognized as a scholar. Already we have begun to suffer from the numerous criticisms of the recent election, criticisms that we cannot challenge. First—That the trustees themselves lowered the standard of the school when they placed a man at the head of a school that makes the college department its main feature. Second—The President of Atlanta University is a graduate of Harvard; the president of Atlanta Baptist College is a graduate of Brown University; the President of York University is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan. The President of Morris Brown College, a graduate of the three year course of Allen University. These schools are sister institutions of Morris Brown College and her bitter rivals. If Morris Brown is to measure arms with them she head equally as well equipped. Following these criticisms the few stungh friends of the institution among the influential people of the city have turned to other schools. We believe in your integrity as man, and that you would not place any man in the head equally as well equipped. Believing this we do not see how you can conscientiously retain the presidency of the school. Therefore we beseech you to voluntarily make the chair of President vacant. Should this not be done, we the universtiy students of the College and Normal Department, will be forced to cast our bids with one of the other schools of the city. St. Mark's Church. The Rev. Fredrick J. Handy, D. D. of Philadelphia, preached to a large audience on Sunday morning.

Bethel Notes The prayer meeting and love feast conducted at Bethel A. M. E. Church Friday evening by Messrs. Reverdy Rannom, Jr., and Joseph Gomez, two young men who had billed fair to become prominent leaders of our race, was well attended.

Dr. Powell said in introducing Mr. Anderson that our Democratic brothers are having a "hulc" time just now trying to decide who is their leader, but that the armen corner of the Republican party either national or local, the colored Republicans of New York all agree that Collector Anderson is their leader.

About Aptintments—Other News. Banner Correspondence of THE AGE. Washington, D. C., Oct. 4.—The colored residents of Washington interested in the inner workings of the educational system are now giving a deal of attention to the new Superintendent, William Mehard Davidson. The question has arisen as to the qualifications of the colored trustees to pass upon the issue as to who shall be the next assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, or as to whether R. C. Bruce shall succeed himself in that capacity. Those who have studied the legal aspect of the matter thoroughly are still not quite satisfied as to whether this important question is one for the colored members of the board to decide, for the entire board to act upon, or for Dr. Davidson alone to act upon, for a recent meeting of the board the matter was referred to Dr. Davidson for adjustment, and it is understood, his report will be in within a few days. Meanwhile Dr. Davidson is familiarizing himself with the work in the colored schools as conducted to-day. He is getting acquainted with the city and country system and has visited as far out as the suburban Deanwood building. It is considered likely, therefore, that when his report is made to the board, that it will be thorough in every feature, rather than the result of hasty judgment. Dr. Davidson has addressed the colored teachers, the M Street High School and the students of Howard University, being everywhere received with enthusiasm and sent away with an ovation. His talks have revealed but little of his intended school policy, being mainly upon matters of civic righteousness, so that up to the present time the area of the colored schools of the Capital are strained to hear one word as to just regard Mr. Davidson is going to do in regard to the dual system and the retention of the present administrative corps. Some time ago an examination for a Latin teacher in the High Schools was held, Mrs. Anna J. Cooper passing highest of all contestants. In filing her application Mrs. Cooper answered one of the questions in a way that called up a series of official queries which postponed her appointment to the vacancy caused by the death of Prof. James Sturmum until this fall. Just months the position was filled by Tally R. Holmes, a substitute teacher, who relied on the salary for his services, due to a lack of thorough understanding between the Board of Education and the Controller of the Treasury. Mr. Holmes was given his pay, amounting to $800 this week, after presenting a claim to the board for his services. He has been appointed as a second grade teacher and assigned to the M Street High School. The Home for Friendless Girls, a charitable institution in this city, removed from frontier areas in Euclid and purchased quarters in Girard street, near Howard University. A lot was given to the Women's Union Christian Association in Girard street by a lady interested in benevolent work. The association then purchased a house next to this lot and in fitting the place as a modern charity settlement.

C., October 3.—The large lecture room of Howard University Law School was crowded to the doors Monday evening on the occasion of the annual opening. The main attraction was Assistant Attorney William H. Lewis, who made the chic1 address. In addition to the two hundred law students there were present all the deans of the different faculties of the university, members of the trustees and a large number of the leading colors of Washington. President Shirkfield presided and endured introductory speech. Mr. Lewis was at his best and made a brilliant and thoughtful address, which was received with the greatest appreciation throughout its delivery. Last year Judge Atkinson, of the United States Court of Claims, performed a similar service for the law, and Judge Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, and other distinguished legal light have done likewise in the case, but no similar effort before the students Howard. At the conclusion of his he received a royal ovation. Archdeacon Russell and Son Entertained. Bradal to Tue New York Agr Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 3—Archdeacon J. S.

We very much desire that every patron of THE AGE will read the article headed, "The Fifteenth Amendment," which we reproduce bodily from The Independent of September 21. In discussing any phase of the race question, the editor of The Independent, Dr. William Hayes Ward, is always so comprehensive and sympathetic in the treatment of it as to leave little for friends of it to say, while at the same time giving the enemies of it an arsenal of facts and logic to overcome. He has done that much for Dr. William Hayne Leavell, who sees through a very dark glass darkly dark. There is one phase of the subject, however, that Dr. Ward does not discuss; and that is, that, although the Negro is disfranchised by State law in every Southern State, such people out of Congress as Dr. Leavell, and such people in Congress as Mr. Heflin of Alabama, Mr. Hardwick of Georgia, Senator Tillman of South Carolina and Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, keep up a running agitation for repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment in the constitutional way; that is, by submitting the matter to a plebiscite of all the other States. This agitation keeps the Negro voters of the Northern and Western States in constant fear of the Democrats coming into control of the National Government, and thus compels them to vote the Republican ticket, often at the sacrifice of their local and State interests. That this fear is not groundless is shown by the fact that at the present time the Democrats have a large working majority in the House of Representatives and are in minority by only seven votes in the Senate. With the Senate and House Democratic and a man of the admitted race antagonism of Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in the White House, the Negroes would be justified in expecting the most radical legislation in opposition to their civil and political rights guaranteed them by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment. The leaders of the Democratic party should have gumption enough to see that the agitation for the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment does not benefit them in the South and hurts them disastrously with the blacks and their white friends in the Northern and Western States. OUR NEW CITIZENSHIP AND ITS IDEALS To illustrate how Europeanized New York City is becoming, for example, there were in a Tammany Hall primary mix-up in the Nineteenth Assembly District, Tuesday of last week, James Ahearn, Solomon Goldenkranz, Morris Klein, Thomas Dorillo, James Costello, Max Orgal, and others of like name. Many heads were cracked, but no lives were lost, so the Tammany vote will be none the loser. American names are being rapidly overshadowed by European-names in the citizenship of New York City. Political and business control follow the names of them. It has become so in all of the large cities of the North and West, and is becoming so in those of the South. The Puritan civilization of New England and the cavalier civilization of the South, which laid the foundations of the Republic and shaped its policy for the first century of its existence, are being replaced by a new citizenship, a new civilization, the character of the induration of which it is easy to forecast in the obliteration of the Christian Sabbath for that of European license and the clamor for innovations of all sorts in the character and administration of the Government. We have more education of the masses than in former times, but it is material rather than metaphysical education, the aim of it being to satisfy the cravings of the life rather than the soul, the cultivation of ideals in which the false note, "Eat, drink, and be merry; tomorrow you may die," has taken the place of the sober, steady piety of old, which made for strength in moral and physical force, not for the day, not for the morrow, but for the future. The Negro is, necessarily, in the national swing for money-getting and high living, which burn the candle at both ends establishing the average physical constitution and dwarring the soul. sympathies, so that the physician and the undertaker are more important and necessary in the community than the preacher and the grocer. The Negro should be proud of his magnificent inheritance of physical bulk, health and strength, and not deteriorate them by following the example of those who "set the pace that kills." Beware of foreign names and examples that make for death instead of life. ROTATION OF BISHOPS. It is a sign of very great onenotrage to those of us who wish for the African Methodist Episcopal Church, as well as for all of our churches, the highest and best results in their work of moral and spiritual uplift, that all of our church newspapers and preachers are vigorously discussing the reforms experience has shown necessary and which they hope will be taken up and cited upon by the General Conferences to meet next year, and to which delegates are being elected this year. While in the South last August one of the ablest, strongest and most influential pastors of the African Methodist Episcopal Church said to us, confidentially: "I notice that you occasionally pay considerable attention to the African Methodist Episcopal Church and her working machinery. I wish you could be induced to advocate the rotation of our Bishops. We have Bishops who I do not believe have been compelled to get into the Bishopric by pulling wires, and by political strategy, and for them to remain for four years over a district is degrading to our ministry; it is making cowards out of our preachers, so that it has come to a point as to who shall stoop to the Bishop in our ministry. I wish you would advocate rotation of Bishops in our church." There must be some truth in this pastor's statement of the case, the substance of it crops out constantly in our church newspapers, in church conference debates, and in the conversation of our ministers in all directions. It is a hopeful sign when these within the church body are brave to point out the breaches and to demand, as King Johosh did, that they be repaired; mind you, not by outsiders, not by the congregation, but by the priest, Johoshada, who "took a chest, and bored a hole in the bill of it," into which the priests put all of the money brought into the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of it," that is to say, it is the business of the lishops and preachers and laymen within the church to purge it, when necessary, it is not the business of those on the outside of the church. When Turt. Nor, therefore, is asked from the inside to help in the reformation of church abuse; it has no hesitation in doing so, because it stands for the best that there is in Negro life in Negro hope, in Negro aspiration. Rotation of bishops is one of the reforms needed. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the General Conference, next year, will take up the matter and settle it wisely and for the good of the church, as the church will still be here, a power for good or evil, when those now in authority in it have passed beyond the great divide and, others shall take their places. It is the chieftest and most responsible of the obligations of mankind that those of the present, in all of the relations of life, are only stewards of those of the future. This is peculiarly true of those in authority in the church. Theirs is a continuing ministry, somewhat after the order of Melchizedek, and they must leave the account to their successors as they pass on. What is a bishop anyhow? Evidently all bishops do not study and live by the definition, nor lymen, as given by St. Paul, the Chief Apostle, to the Gentiles, in the First Epistle to Timothy (iii. 1-7), as follows: "This is a true saying. If a man desire the wishes of a Bishop, he desirest a good work. A Bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of fittiness here; but patient, not drunk, well his own cousin, having his children in subjection with all gravity (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the Church of God?); not a novice, best being lifted up with pride, best to fall into evil. Moreover, he must have a good report of their which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil." If, then, the keeping of a bishop in one district for any considerable number of years develops in him any one of the prohibitions set forth by St Paul, from whom there is no appeal by any, the highest and lowest, in the church, or the tyranny complained of by the pastor we have quoted, shift them about, rotate them from district to district, until the board of bishops becomes so strong in spiritual and moral strength that no one will be able to accuse any one of them of "falling into condemnation of the devil" or "of them which are without" the church. There are other reforms in our church government which we shall discuss from time to time in a spirit of friendliness and helpfulness and not of captiousness and eumity. The war between Italy and Turkey is unfortunate for two reasons: Because it disturbs the peace of the world without sufficient reasons, and because it threatens to provoke a religious war between Christianity and Islamism. A CARPET-BAG GHOST IN NEW YORK They are few and far between—the carpet-bag ghosts of the Reconstruction saturnalia. Time has mowed them down and ruthless mother earth has chewed them up. Now and again one of them strays into New York, maunders, mumbles a little and vanishes from the smilling face of the hotel clerk and the inquisitive newspaper reporter. The other day Henry Clay Warmth strayed into the Waldorf. He was Governor of Louisiana in 1868-72; now he is a rich sugar planter, and speaks of his old Negro supporters and associates as "darkies." William Pitt Kellogg, who succeeded him, never fell so low in his gratitude and self-respect as to do that. A Sun reporter backed Mr. Warmth up against a Waldorf settee with orate frills and pumped out of him the information that the "darkies" and most of the white Republicans of Pelicana were not allowed to vote; that the Democrats are fighting among themselves; that the price of sugar is double that of last year, and that the knights of the white Camelias and Ku Klux Klan murderers grew out of the night rider patrol system maintained by the slave-masters before the war to keep their slaves at home when they had no pass to go abroad. There is nothing so painful, so disgusting, for a man, for a race, to remember, when too late, than that they had entrusted their lives and honor and property to the keeping of ingrates and traitors, such carpet-bag ghosts of Reconstruction days as Gov. Clay Warmoth, of Louisiana; Gov. Marcelius L. Stearns, of Florida; and Governors Franklin J. Moore and Daniel H. Chamberlain, of South Carolina. Some poets and "Not even the future over the past has power, what has been has been." The mistake of the Negro politicians of Reconstruction days are of that sort. These whom they ignorantly misrepresented or wilfully betrayed are still paying the debt in laws of disfranchisement, of denial or abridgement of civil rights of crippled public schools, of mob law whose blood stained hammers laughingly in the confused face of justice. Measure the word, weigh the act, because when they go they return again to bless or to curse. ENGLISH RACE PREJUDICE AND JACK IOHNSON. The decision of the English authorities, that the scheduled prize fight between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells cannot be pulled off in London, is statement of a radical change of British public opinion on the question within the last century. No effort has been made in the English to colonize India, climatic and other considerations, having deterred them from doing so, but they have raised the country with, mailed hounds, exchanging of it every penny that could be wring from it by commercial greed and taxation. To do this a standing army has been necessary, but despite this there have been some of the bloodiest wars between the British authority and the natives in the history of European colonial government. The fear of an uprising in India is ever present with the British people, as the natives forget no injury (and they have been subjected to uninterrupted injury), and constantly look forward to the time when they shall be able to throw off the yoke of oppression and repression. Will that time ever come to them? "The sun never sets upon the British Empire," and "the drum beats of Great Britain are heard arud and the globe" are boasts which the Britisher never tices of repeating. But the spirit law which moves silently in the rise and fall of nations has played some queer tricks upon those who impose their law of conquest and exploitation upon them races. In the time of Jesus, the eagles of Rome overawed the world; today there is no Rome, and there are no eagles of Rome "The Nubes of Nations, there she stands. A shattered arm within her withered hands. Whose hold most was scattered long ago? A different policy is pursued by the British in West and South Africa. Actual settlement of the country by British people, as in Australia, and development of the country by British labor, under government by British people, from active participation in which the natives are rigidly excluded, are the threads of the policy. The natives are treated, for the most part, as aliens, and are tolerated, under drastic restrictions, in the colonies, or forced back into the interior. The Dutch Boer Republics treated the native Africans with acclamation inslence and brutality, and the British, since their conquest of those republics, have changed for better little of the policy of the Boers. Like the Irish in Ireland, the native African is more at home anywhere else than in his own West and South Africa, which the British have taken over as their own inheritance. With the growth of British interests and the development of the policy of suppressing and oppressing the native blacks of West and South Africa, prejudice against the blacks has grown into a national policy in the British islands; it has, therefore, been determined by the Home Government that it would be bad policy to allow Jack Johnson an opportunity to knock out Bombardier Wells, as it would give British islanders the impression that, physically, at least, a black man is the equal of a white man, while making the black of the African colonies restive under the yoke of oppression and suppression. The same outey was made in this country against the exhibition of the fight pictures after Johnson had knocked Jeffries into kingdom come at Reno, July 4, 1910. If the white man had won the battle there would have been no such outey, on the contrary there would have been an overwhelming demand for the right picture shows from every hamlet, town and city in the Republic. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's" does not set well on white stomachs when Caesar happens to be black in the face. It proves that the white race has a big yellow streak in its nature; and moral cowardice is always associated with structural mental weakness. MOSAIC TEMPLARS, OF AMERICA. It is a sincere pleasure to publish even as an editorial in The New York Vol. the following statement, which has been published over the signatures of two of the inspectors from the office of the Insurance Department of the State of Tennessee. It means much to the race to have such a splendid endorsement published regarding our fraternal or business organizations. The statement: Little Rock, Ark. Sept. 1, 1911. To Whom It May Concern: We, the undersigned, having been appointed and authorized by the governor and commissioner of Tennessee to examine the records and, fully inspect the office of the National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America, especially so much as pertains to their conduct of Endowment business pleasure in stating that we have spent several days examining the effects of the office, and discover the following: Immediately upon presentation of our credentials we were given absolute possession of all books, papers and records. We find a full, well equipped officer capable, painstaking supervision. The controller, officials, W. M. Alexander, N. G. M, and J. E. Bush, N. G. S, and Miss Leona Richmond, chief clerk, are deserving of special care as efficient as ever in several duties. The records are well kept, and exhibit a satisfactory knowledge of systematic bookkeeping. So well is everything arranged, and so plainly recorded, we found ourselves at the office covering a period of eighteen (4S) months in much less time than we anticipated. We discover that the funds are safely handled and minutely accounted for, and the public of funds are in keeping with the records thereof. The order is commended as safe, sound and reliable, and the exhibitions verify that it is perfectly solvent and worthy of trust and confidence and indications are that it is in the front rank of successful secret organization among our people. The order has taken on a healthy among the largest in our country. We recognize, of course, that this is an advertisement of the Mosaic organization and of our friends, W. M. Alexander, W. M.; J. F. Bush, N. G. S., and of their capable chief clerk, Miss Richmond. The statement, however, is well worthy of being published in these columns, because that is what THE ACR is for—to encourage worthy enterprises among the Negro people of the United States. We hope that our fraternal organizations throughout the country will put their acents in such shape as to deserve such commendation as the above. Don't be ashamed to save the pennies; they make the dollars. The Negro Democrats of New York City, and they are a large army, quarrel among themselves just like white Democrats over the spoils, but, we regret to say, on election day they bury the tomahawk, close up the ranks, and vote the Democratic ticket. A young white woman of good standing in New Orleans is accused of poisoning her father, mother and sister, ostensibly to benefit by the small insurance on their lives. And in Arkansas a Sheriff and his deputy and a white man and his two mulatto sons were killed last week in a shooting scrap. The dear white South is going some these days on criminology skates. The New York State Association of Embalmers proposes to substitute the word "mortician" for that of "undertaker," with "the idea of elevating the profession of funeral director." We do not approve the substitution. "Mortician" means, literally, one who kills, while "undertaker" has come to mean one who prepares and buries that which is dead, which has been killed. Who the mortician is we do not know; but the undertaker—we know him. When the Negro schools of the District of Columbia reach a condition of peace from warfare among their superintendent, trustees and principals—when will that be! In Aesop's fables the dog crossing a stream on a log that dropped the splendid piece of fresh meat he had and dived after that his shadow had, lost that he had and that his shadow had, and himself, also. MOSAL: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good," because, if you do not, the other fellow will. The Cuban sugar crop is 300,000 tons short, and the price of it promises to be 300 times more per ton to the consumer this year than it was last year. The coffee crop is also said to be short on supply and long on price. The supply of water, however, is abundant and can still be obtained without money or other exchange value. But the thirst for water has become well-ugh drowned in the large cities of the Republic by the stronger thirst for tea, coffee, ales, beers, wines and other stimulants. Nature furnishes the best and cheapest food and drink, but few know and appreciate it. The cat is out of the bag. Mr William Randolph Hearst of New York, who has created more upheaval in politics in the past twenty years than any other Ithmaelite, says he favors Champ Clark of Missouri for the Democratic nomination for President: Champ Clark favors William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, and William Jennings Bryan favors Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. The theory of them is that if one doesn't get it the other will. Mr Hearst also thinks that the time has come when a Southern Democrat can be nominated for the presidency without prejudicing his chances of election. So? Try it. Nothing will please us more than to have the faith of it put to the test. In a recent issue of THE AGE, we condemned the tendency of the daily newspapers to magnify clashes between blacks and whites as one of the surest ways of fostering and intensifying race prejudice in the Northern and Western States. We are gratified to find in so influential a newspaper as the Philadelphia Press (September 27) a contributed article by Mr. E. O. Danielson on the same subject, treated from the same viewpoint. The daily press should be ashamed of the policy of magnifying the Negro's bad and minimizing his good qualities. Only self-seekers, special pleaders, see only one side of a question, and in magnifying that they often utterly destroy the other four sides. President Taft appears to be convincing the dissatisfied Western Republicans of the honesty of his tariff and trust policies, and in his fairness towards all the interests concerned, and that it is better to move wisely and slowly than passionately and precipitately in dealing with the business situation. It is to be hoped that the President's trip will bring order out of the Republican confusion in Wisconsin, Iowa and pars of Illinois. The situation looks equally for Republican success next year, with the Democrats in control of such Republican States as Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine, and with sullen discontent in the West. Served Him Right. A man in this town who took a white paper in preference to a Negro paper because he got more paper for the money, was attracted by the advertisement of a fire escape when would be forwarded on record. He sent the cash in in few days received a copy of the New Testament. Texas Tactics in Oklahoma. (From the Oklahoma State Guard) It is a pity that the whole State of Oklahoma must bear the diagnee for the loss of the Troops from the Texas line. While it is over the line in Oklahoma it is virtually Texas doing the devilment. Good Words for Secretary MacVeagh. (From the Washington National Union) Secretary MacVeagh's heart beats sympathetically for the man farthest down. His retention of the three-colored architects with his record for helping worthy Negroes who help themselves to doing their full duty wherever they may be assigned. The Editor's Mission. (From the Cadtz Informer) The far sighted and enterprising editors have long since realized that their chief work is to anticipate the actual needs of their patrons and meet them, being prepared and spurred by constantly multiplying incidents and indiscretely pushing things day and night. Always on the go, making things go and making publications are the groundwork for teaching and the foremost in distributing education and training the people in civic righteousness. Upon them rest a great responsibility, since they may be agents of great good or great harm. THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT There are men in our Southern States who think it worth while to urge the repeal, or, if not that, the annulment, of the Fifteenth Amendment, which gives to the freedmen the right to vote. If they fear it is impossible to get the amendment repealed in one of the ways provided by the Constitution—that is, by another amendment adopted by three-fourths of the States, or by a constitutional convention—they imagine can annulled by the Supreme Court, which may be persuasive to declare it unconstitutional. That is, that it was fourths of the States. They will try to prove to the satisfaction of a majority of the justices of the Court that a number of the States were coerced into accepting it, and that their aid was therefore not sufficient to not begrudge their entailment to those who do not engage in such anticlerical actions. They might employ their abilities in a more mischievous way. We have in mind the State of Mississippi, where three candidates lately sought the nomination of Governor, and where this proposition to seek the annulment of the Fifteenth Amendment was a burning issue. To see there is no more chance of an annulment or the commandment to love one's neighbor as one's self. In fact, the attempt to repeal the one is an attempt to repeal the other. But they do not all suit it so in Mississippi, and one of the most earnest in the offer is to a friend of the president when he was New York pastor twenty years the Rev William Hayne Leavell, D. D., L. L. D., who was trained under the influence of his father-in-law, the late distinguished Senator George, of Mississippi. As he calls our attention to a pamphlet written by him during the annulment of the Fifteenth Amendment to consider the argument for it, which he and a few others are taking somewhat too seriously. The argument offered by Dr. Leavell and those he reargests is that the Negro is an inferior race, not capable of voting intelligently, and therefore must be used to ammunition giving him that right should be annulled. The whites are superior, and must be predominant, and are determined to rule by fair means or fool. At present the means used are confessfully foul, and therefore Dr. Leavell was used to ammunition and then the States could fair means disfrisebise all Negroes; and when Negroes know that they cannot vote they will cease to seek equality and will be contented and quiet in their inferior position. The Negroes are the antifaction which a usually sensible town presents to us for our approval. Ours is "the superior race," he says. But before God, and properly before men, we are not to be approved or condemned as race. We are not to be accused of Ezra's arguments that principle at length, even under Judaism, and it is the basis of the Christian religion and ought to be of any Christian civilization or government. Individuals are good or bad supporter or inferior not race. Dr. Leavell, Negroes against Dr. Leavell, possibly his superior. There are all sorts in all races. But being inferior, the Negro must be kept in subordination and must not mix. And yet he does not seem to be so inferior, for Dr. Leavell allows that he is getting education and health, and that he is not being inferior, which he has, however, gone on a good way with no great opposition on the part of the white men of the South. But Dr. Leavell says: Before such a terrible cataclysm could sweep all harriers away, our race, which has never submitted to any other, never permitted any man to be a harrier, which has never balked at any means necessary to clear its path, and which has always won, would rise in ungoverned wrath and utterly annihilate every condition and every person and thing that made him dislike it. Under necessity would do that without hesitation and without remorse. That is, rather than allow intermarriage of those who might wish it, the white race would murder the black race without remorse, and Dr. Leavell would have been wrong. If equal legal rights were given, very few would want intermarriage; but with it forbidden and the race maladjustly inferior and subordinate, miscognition would continue as it has in the past. But he does not like to antelapse the method of massacre; his alternative is perpetual "subordination," and for that reason he would have the Fifteenth Amendment annulled, so that Missislai would be Negro of the right to vote. He says: "Were the Negro deprived of his vote and deprived of the expectation that his right to vote will sooner or later be recognized and allowed, it would not take ten years to produce harmonious relations between the whites and blacks as a whole. An amazing statement! It is more likely that bedlam would follow. Does he think they have not human passions, that they would be satisfied to represent it if the black in them were so innocent, would not the white in them present it? And are not thousands of them as white as the whites, and hundreds of thousands of them half white? Do not they share with the 'race which has never submitted to any would they submit in gentle grace? Dr. Leavell comforts himself with the faith that 'actually every thoughtful white man North and South alike holds that it was a humiliation from the Negro.' The reason there is not a Northern State in which an effort to describe the Negro of the ballot could find support amendment or no amendment. We believe that slavery does not lend to an complexion of the ballot to bear men or stunt the men of small or no education to thick men or to women than it is to carry them. While we will and must maintain white supremacy, we should do so in ways and by means that will not tend to undermine our moral quality. There are such means, by being better men, if they can, wiser men, and with which we can be impossible to do it by forbidden means, and subordination of anybody, of whatever color or estate, without moral degradation. To attempt to rob black men or poor men of the right of suffrage, of all equal civil and political rights, is an insolent injustice. To attempt to remove a black man from office so as to keep him self on top of the table is mean and cold and when it is unworthy of one who preaches the Gospel of Him who came to "break down the middle wall of partition." By all means let Dr. Leavell read the volume of letters on International Publications concerned at http://www.congress.org in London in July, published for the World Peace Foundation, Houston. CALIFORNIA Those of the best class of Negritos who want to better their conditions and are figuring on making a chance, have many things to take into consideration, principally climate, presuppositions for advancement, and social roundings. It is not necessary to say much about the climate of California, as most of the people are fairly aware that it is the finest climate in America, summer and winter. Every day in the year, the people of California spend the most nights of the season months you will find it necessary sleep under a blanket. The climate must be ideal, or why is it that so many of the millionaires of the country have winter homes out there, and why is it that thousands upon thousands of the North, South and East spend their summer vacations in California? As for prejudice or discrimination—well, just ask anyone who has lived out there or in any part of the great West. It is a well known fact that the spirit of the people of the West is in the country. A man is a man in California if he conducts himself such, and is treated accordingly, regardless of creed, color or nationality, with the exception of the oriental, who is not and never can become an American citizen—and he is live on American cents, pay with which he possible, for blim to work for less money than others, thereby working a hardship on American laborers. And this is one of the reasons why California is extending the wild land of welcome to the best class of American immigrants and money to the undesirable foreigners. Another reason why there is no prejudice and never will be is the fact that none but the best class of our people go to California. It is impossible for the riff-raff to get out there. In the first place, the best class of our people must be a move like that, and the undesirable people lack all three, and consequently will never be the weight around the neck of the Negroes of California as they are in other sections of the country. However we have no doubt that we must have no doubt that the thousand of our worst people in the State of California it would be no time at all before they would pass Jim Crow laws, segregation laws, etc. But for the reasons explained that is impossible, and the fact is that the colony is in the country and respect as any other rain so long as he deserves it and no man can ask more than that. And as for Liberia and other far distant countries, why even consider them when we have the glorious State of California, with our own perfect Allensworth Colony in the rich county of California in the heart of a sinkhole minute that when you go to Allensworth you will find yourself in a wilderness, away from the railroad in an undeveloped and new district. On the contrary, is on the main line of the State Ft. Railroad, surrounded by beautiful farmland and farm farms. You will find in the town even now a station and telegraph office, post office, telephone exchange, nice hotel, school, three stores, barber shop, livery stable bakery, one immense property, a house and one smaller property, any one invest $1000 in the property put in it! And besides all this there are a large number of ports and comfortable homes. There must be a number yard, a blacksmith shop and bank. The time is the most important to the past, the rightmost to the rightmost and grass it. The Monsourth Colony is located in its infancy. Up to the present time there are approximately fifty families purchasing property with facilities purchasing property with facilities being the first to begin living the the hundred and so means about two thousand people and right now there are in the local area one hundred people living only and laying the foundation for their new community and laying the foundation for their new community and happily enjoying the healthiest and happiest of dependence that has ever been the of the colored people, and their and the future of their children is assured.

The reunion on September 29, the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels proved a concentration of the congregation in a unique and most forceful way.

Among the speakers was the Ven. Chas. H.

The rector spoke briefly of the past achievements and the future possibilities of the work. He expressed his desire to have these reunions on September 29 of very year. After he had outlined the policy of the year's work and urged all to cooperate in making the Harvest Home success, which will open in the Guild Hall at 1010 Dean street, on October 17, the congregation was dismissed with the Ven.

Kink-no-more is the best hair straightening tool. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair, becomes straight. Kink-no-more last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it Kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there isn't another preparation for $100. Offer a return of $100 for any head of hair of Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from promoting a lurking growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or at least to prevent it from growing on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair.
