HOTEL MEN FACE GRAVE SITUATION Hotel Managers' Association Forms Agreement to Replace Colored Help With White. THE AGE INVESTIGATES CASE Colored Waiters and Bellmen Conferring With Industrial Organizations to Bring About Better Conditions. Since September, nearly one hundred colored waiters and bellmen have been thrown out of employment in several of the large hotels and restaurants in New York City and their places filled by whites. The discharge of colored help and the employment of whites has been going on with such frequency for the past two months that THE AGE this week made an investigation of hotel conditions and discovered that the wholesale discharge of colored waiters and bellmen has been brought about at the instance of the Hotel Men's Association. The members of the association have shown an unwillingness to discuss the subject, although one white head bellman, who only a few days ago went to work with a new force at one of the large hotels, supplanting colored bellmen, admitted to an AGE representative that he was in his new position thanks to the Hotel Men's Association. Colored hotel men view the present situation with unconcealed alarm, and do not hesitate, to say that something must be done, or else the coloured waiters and bellmen will be out of the white hotels and restaurants in New York City altogether. There are quite a number of bellmen and waiters now idle, the number having been increased last week when two more hotels discharged their colored help. The men were greatly surprised when given notice that their services were no longer required, and were unaware of the agreement that had been reached by the Hotel Men's Association to get rid of all colored help in, favor of white. It is said that at a meeting of hotel men held in August a resolution was adopted declaring that any hotel in New York employing colored waiters, etc., was not considered first class. Since then it has been noticeable that almost every week has brought about the dismissal of colored waiters and bellmen from hostelry. Such well-known hotels as the Hotel Netherland, Fifth avenue and 59th street; Hotel Majestic, Central Park West and 72d street; the Annsoria, Broadway and 73d street, have discharged all their colored bellmen, while White's Restaurant, located at Broadway and 28th street, has put in white waiters, although colored waiters were employed for thirty years. The attention of the various associations in New York organized to promote the industrial welfare of the Negroes of this city has been called to the turning out of colored help in the different hotels, and steps will be begun this week by such organizations as the Society for Improving the Industrial Conditions in New York and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes to bring about more favorable conditions for the colored hotel men. DR. WASHINGTON AT BIRMINGHAM Educator Greeted by Large Audience at the Orpheum Theatre—Entertained by Negro Citizen. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 16. — Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, spoke here Friday night to a crowd that filled the large Orpheum Theatre to the doors. Several hundred white people were present in the auditorium, and seated on the platform with Dr. Washington were a hundred or more of the leading business and professional men of both races in Birmingham. The committee in charge of the arrangements was composed of Dr. U. G. Mason, Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, and Dr. J. A. Whited, pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. The appearance of Dr. Washington on the platform was followed by numerous applause, and throughout his address was marked with demonstrations of approval from both white and colored people. Dr. Washington was introduced by former Congressman S. J. Bowie, of Birmingham, who expressed his pleasure at being accorded the privilege of making the introduction. The address was plain and frank to both races. Dr. Washington congratulated the Negroes upon the wonderful opportunities open to them in Birmingham and in Jefferson County. He urged them to work steadily, save their money, patronize their own banking institutions, strive constantly for better school buildings and teachers, and above all to improve their caring power by increasing their efficiency. The whites he exerted to do their duty by the Negro in helping him to better himself. "In all that concerns the Negro in the South," he said, "there is no person in the world who can be so helpful to him as his white neighbor." "At the conclusion of his address Dr. Washington was entertained by the Tuskegee Club of Birmingham. BISHOP SMITH HONORED Honorary Degree Conferred on Him Address on "The Brotherhood of by Victoria University of Toronto— Man." Special to THE NEW YORK AGE: Toronto, Can., Oct. 17.—While in Toronto last week Bishop C. S. Smith of the A. M. E. Church, was awarded an honorary degree by the Victoria University. The occasion marked the first time in the history of Canada that a university of this country conferred such an honor on a Negro. In his address at the Beumenical Conference on "The Brotherhood of Man," Bishop Smith stated that there exists too much exaltation of rank, superiority, and too little exaltation of life and spirit purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said in part: "I wish to speak of the spirit that should possess the propagandist of the Christian religion as he goes out among the non-Christian races. What is the Christ spirit? What is the Christ idea of the brotherhood of man, his idea as it relates to the commonwealth of mankind? If the propagandist of the Christian religion goes out among the non-Christian races asserting the spirit of race superiority, he finds himself at once handicapped. And from my observation in foreign fields I am frank to confess, though'I do it regretfully, that at least in many instances, there is too much exaltation of race superiority and too little exaltation of the life and spirit and purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Point to a single utterance of the Master wherein he boasted of His racial lineage, wherein He emphasized or laid stress upon the mere incident of race superiority. I say 'the more incident because there are four things for which no man is responsible—of whom he was born, when he was born, where he was born, and how he was born. I know that there is no lack of stressing the idea of the fatherhood of God and the sonship of Christ. But there is a woeful lacking of stressing the brotherhood of man—not as white men, not as black men, not as yellow men, not as red men, not as brown men, but as men. "Now, I postulate that if the brotherhood of man is not one of the cardinal and fundamental teachings of the New Testament, then the whole scheme of the Christian religion is but a cunningly devised fable, the agony of Calvary the echo if a deceiving dream, and the reputed vicarious death of Christ a mere figment of the imagination. Jesus said: 'If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me. All ye are brethren. Love one another, even as I have loved you. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel" to every creature.' And unless the brotherhood of man is brought into realization here the apocalyptic vision never becomes a reality—the vision wherein John saw a number that no man could number gathered together out of every tribe and tongue under heaven; and when the inquiry was made, 'Who are these?' the answer was not white men, not black men, not yellow men, not red men, not brown men. No, blt these are they who have come up through great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." NEGRO ON COMMERCE BOARD Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook Elected a Member of Denver's Leading Commercial Organization. Special to THE NEW YORK ANN. Denver, Colo., October 16.—Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, a well-known colored physician, has been elected to membership in the Denver Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Westbrook is the first Negro citizen to become a member of the chamber. His election has been the occasion for rejoicing among the Negros of Denver, as they regard it as an honor to their race to have representation in Colorado's leading commercial organization. Secretary Deland says the election of a colored man to membership was designed to prove that the Chamber of Commerce is broad in spirit, does not draw the color line and is prompted by no petty policies. Dr. Westbrook's application, it is understood, was at first denied by the board of directors. Later he appeared before the board and his unanimous election was the result. The membership of the Chamber of Commerce has become cosmopolitan as well as metropolitan. The yellow races were given representation some months ago by the election to membership of N. Tatsukawa, a prominent Japanese merchant. Dr. Westbrook will be accorded all privileges extended to members, including the weekly luncheons. NEW YORK, THURSDAY THREE ORGANIZATIONS EFFECT CONSOLIDATION PLAN MUCH ACTIVE WORK Consolidation of Organizations Marts New Departure in Social Work—Officers of New Leagues. This week three organizations which have been doing a great work in the interest of the Negroes of Greater New York, namely, the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York, the National League for the Protection of Colored Women, and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, consolidated with a view to doing more constructive work, and formed what will be known as the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes... The organization of the new league marks a new departure in social work among Negroes as well as in the entire community. This is the first time that a number of social agencies have gotten together with a definite aim of uniting their work and presenting overlapping and duplication. It is also the first time that such organizations have come together to make a consolidated appeal to the community for financial support. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes will not only act as a clearing house for information, but will superintend and direct in a general way the work of the different organizations under its direction. The objects of the league are to promote and to carry on constructive and preventive social work, for improving the social and economic conditions among Negroes in urban centers; to bring about co-ordination and co-operation among writing agencies and Negrano Urban areas and to develop other agencies where necessary; to secure and train Negro social workers, and to make such studies in cities as may be required for the carrying out of the objects of the league. The membership of the league consists of equal representation from the membership of the three organizations. The officers are: Prof. E. R. A. Selligman, chairman; Dr. Wm. L. Bulkley, Mrs. Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., and Jacob W. Mack, vice-chairmen; Edward E. Pratt, secretary; A. S. Friissell, treasurer; L. Hollingsworth Wood, assistant treasurer. the executive committee are: Paul D. Cravath, Prof. Felix Adler and Miss Frances A. Kellor, from the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; Dr. E. P. Roberts, Mrs. E. B. Leaf and Mrs. Haley Fiske, from the National League for the Protection of Colored Women; the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, Abraham Lefkowitz and the Rev. S. H. Bishop, from the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York. The members of the finance committee are: The chairman, secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer, ex-officio; Dr. Everit Macy, Fred R. Moore and Dr. Wm Jay Schiefelin, Chairman of Urban Conditions Among Negroes is not only a local committee. Already branches are being, organized in various cities throughout the country, which will be under the general direction of the new National League. The object of these committees in other cities will be to do work similar to that done by the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which has been in existence in New York City for about one year. This new movement toward the consolidation of the Negro activities in New York and other large cities is the outgrowth of the work of the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which was organized largely through the efforts of Mrs. Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., the latter part of 1910. The work of the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes during the past year has been peculiarly successful. In addition to bringing about the organization of the new league, it has made a preliminary survey of the Harlem district, which has resulted in a local movement among the colored residents for improvement. The committee is also conducting the work of the Central Bureau of Negro Fresh Air Agencies and has supervised and directed all the fresh work among Negroes in the York City area in summer. The committee also conducted a model camp for colored boys at Manorville, L. I, and a playground was established in Harlem. One of the most interesting parts of the committee's work, which will be continued under the national league, is the work done in economics and social science at Fisk University. This work has been conducted with great success by Prof. Geo. E Haynes, and the students have not only been given academic work, but practical work in the community as well. This year there has been established two graduate fellowships under the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and two students, one a graduate of Fisk University and the other of Atlanta Baptist College, are studying North Carolina at PhDthropy and Columbia University. The National League for the Protection of Colored Women has been doing a growing and important work in the community. Stations of the league have been established at Norfolk, Philadel- phia, Memphis, Baltimore, York, where travelers aided. At Philadelphia established its own also keeps a list of租 agencies to which people refer, provides club for women established, and presents colored women in New especially developed. bring the In- teresting new complexity of the compa- sion which has the in- teresting Nigrose in leading toward the employ- ment for the among the crow.

Last Friday an attorney was made by Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall to settle the differences existing between the two rival factions led by Chief Lee and Robert N. Wood, effectively. After the conference the Lee team came out of the wigwam smiling and in good cheer, and declared that Chief Murphy had decided in their favor. The Wood followers, on the other hand, asserted that the did not make a direct statement that Chief Lee was to remain at the head of the United Colored Democracy of New York. Just what the head of Tammany Hall stated has not been given out. From all indications the controversy will not be definitely settled until after the election in November. Chief Lee is busy directing the affairs of the colored Democrats of the city, as in the past, which is said to be in accordance with Murphy's directions. John J. Bell, Jr., and John McNeal represented Chief Lee in the conference, while James D. Carr and Robert N. Wood appeared for the other faction. A large crowd of colored Democrats waited on the outside of the wigwam awaiting the decision of Chief Murphy. IROQUOIS CLUB ELECTION James Lewis, Jr., Chosen-President— Resolutions. Adopted Lauding Work of W. L. Cohen. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM New Orleans, Ia., October 16.—At the annual election of officers of the Iroquois Club, the following officers were elected: James Lewis, Jr.; president; J. Madison Vance, first vice-president; Dr. L. B. Landry, second vice-president; E. O. Moss, third vice-president; Ed Barnes, recording secretary, defeating R. J. Maurise; C. J. Reeves, financial secretary; Dr. J. A. Hardin, treasurer; members of Governing Committee, Joseph Cavalier, Z. A. Cohn, Jordan Cavalier, Theo. Evans, John Alberts, Dr. Ed Vincent, J. E. Hobbs and E. M. Holland. At a recent meeting of the club called to nominate officers in conformity with the recommendations of the special committee on reorganization, of which Attorney J. M. Vance was chairman, the following resolution offered by Ed Barnes, was unanimously adopted: Whereas, Hon. W. L. Cohen, president of the club for twelve successive terms of one year each, or as can be said since its organization down to the present, has declared his inability to further seek a club in that high office, and in view of the act that his splendid executive ability, coupled with the valuable services he has rendered were largely instrumental in advancing the club and proved a potent factor in its existence to this time, thereby making devotion that none will railway; and Wherens. After more than a decade of faithful and honest service volunteered and put forth to maintain and continue the wide reputation this club enjoys abroad, he should express our regret that his pressing business affairs compels him to relinquish the throttle and commit it to the hands of others; therefore, he is, the Iroquois Club in meeting assembled on this date reiterates the abiding faith and confidence it has repossed and still reposes in W. L. Cohen, its retiring president, and places the highest estimate on the services and unselfishly for the clubs uplift. Resolved. Further. That as a mark of esteem to Hon. W. L. Cohen, who now descends from his office to take a place in the ranks of the club, he has given the gun "carrying with him the good will and wishes of the members, the club endorses the proposition to confer on him, as a token of appreciation of his real worth, the exceptional distinction he has received from his name and the proposed title he placed accordingly on the ballot along with the officers and members of the governing committee to be voted for on the equal voter may so that each qualified voter may be elected. Hon. W. L. Cohen the words For and Against" shall be printed on sold ballot. Last Friday evening before a large and representative audience, the Rev. William Preston Hapus was installed pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church, the Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., officiating. The program Friday evening marked the end of the installation services, which began Monday evening, October 9. Well known clergymen from in and out of the city participated in Friday evening's services, which were the most interesting and important of the entire week. The program was rendered as follows: Opening prayer, the Rev. W. J. Howard, D. D.; scripture reading, the Rev. N. S. Eppa, D. D.; prayer, the Rev. J. C. Love, D. D.; selection, the Mount Olive Baptist church; installation sermon by the Rev. Joseph E. Jones, A. M., D.

Dr. Powell charged the pastor to devote at least two or three hours every day to meditation and the study of the Bible and to stay behind the Crown of Calvary. The Rev. Dr. Love charged the church to pray, talk to him, pay the tribute to pray, talk to the pastor of Doomsday Defenders for pastor receive coals alone for hire and heaven as his home, for in this world he needs money for existence and to pay his bills. The Rev. Dr. Hayes delivered an earnest and simple address of acceptance, in which he informed those present that as an ambassador of Christ he realized the tremendous responsibility which he had accepted. Representatives of the choir of the St. Mark's M. E. Church rendered selections during the evening. Members of Church Take Part. Thursday evening, October 12 with Trustee J. E. Taylor presiding, the addresses of welcome were delivered by Chairman Alexander White, representing the oard of Deacons; Trustee J. S.

After the program a framed picture, in behalf of the Junior Department of the B. Y. P. U.; a pair of Mexican woven curtains in behalf of the Sunday School, and a complete china dinner set in behalf of the Busy Bee Club, were presented to the pastor-elect and his wife. The members of the committee on installation were Trustees Henry Darnell, J. E. Taylor, J. S. Brown, Jr., J. R. Wiggins, Deacons Alexander White, Roger T. Batts, James Julius, Charles C. Allison, Sr., and Church Clerk John D. Younger. The co-workers and committee of ladies were Mrs. Charity Jones, Mrs. Susan Gardener, Mrs. Maggie Shepherd, Messrs. J. E. Taylor and J. S.

The church was beautifully decorated with the banners of the various states and the Stars and Stripes, causing the entire scheme of decoration with the arrangement of the electric lights to be very artistic. After the services last Sunday evening, photographs of the entire congregation and of the officers of the church were taken by flash light. PREACHED TO THE PRISONERS. The Rev. Chas. Aeworth, who is in his ninth year of service as a city missionary of the A. M. E. Church, having been appointed in 1902 by Bishop Derrick, visited Ossining; N. Y., last Sunday to preach to the prisoners in Sing Sing prison. He stated that of the 1,600 prisoners at that institution about 300 are colored, and out of sixteen awaiting the electric chair, three are of the same race. S. P. Harris Bloated at Last Thursday in Michigan at Michigan High School. Hold in Michigan—Won Burt and Recorded in Mississippi. CORRECTION TO THE NEW TOWN AM Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 17—For the first time in the history of this city a Mayor is a member of the City Council. He in S. P. Harris and was elected on the Republican ticket by his friends and admirers residing in the Third Ward at the municipal election held last Thursday. Mr. Harris has been a resident of Nashville for fourteen years. The new City Councilman was born and reared in Mississippi. After attending the public schools of his county he entered Rusk University at Holly Springs, Miss, graduating from the college department with honors in 1899. Mr. Harris next studied law at the University of Michigan, finishing his course in 1897. He was admitted to the bar at Pt. Smith, Ark, and followed his chosen profession for several years at Helena, Ark. Mr. Harris was induced to go to Nashville and mount the position of bookkeeper for the National Baptist Publishing Company Board, which position he has held ever since the institution was established. Nashville's new city official was married in September 1895 to Miss Mattie A. Cavanna of Nashville, Ark., niece of the Rev. E. A. Harris, president of the National Baptist Convention. Two boys were born of the marriage. $20,000 HAS BEEN RAISED Progress Being Made in Collecting Funds for Colored Training School at Nashville. Nashville, Team., Oct. 17.—The raising of funds for a $200,000 colored training school in this city, to be a part of the American Interchurch College for Religious and Social Workers, is meeting with success on the part of the Negro citizens of Nashville. The first gift of $4,000 was made several months ago by Hop, J. C. Napier. Since that time the donations and subscriptions have reached the sum of $20,000. The establishment of the colored training school will fill a long felt need in the development of the Negro, adequately and socially throughout the country, the aim being to train colored young men and women as specialists in moral, social and religious leadership among their people. At present the offices of the school are located in the Marshall Building, a large three-story brick structure, facing the Tennessee State Capital. The executive board of the Colored Training School numbers among its members such men as Dr. George A. Gates, president of Fisk University; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute; Dr. James H. Dillard, president and general agent of the Jeanes fund board; Hon. James C. Napier, Register of the U. S. Treasury, and Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist publishing board. It is a part of the fixed policy of the executive board to establish and maintain the closest possible relations of cooperation and affiliation with the three large Negro universities of Nashville—Fisk, Walden and Roger Williams—so that the resources and benefits of all four institutions may be made available for all students. It is thought that it would be better to encourage white denominations to appropriate money to the school and to urge colored denominations to patronize it, rather than to try to establish independent training schools of their own. The executive board will act as trustees for all denominations, both white and colored, that desire to co-operate. The general secretary of the executive board is Dr. James E. McCulloch of this city. REGIMENTAL APPOINTMENTS. A report of the recruiting officers of the New York Provisional Regiment was made at the regiment's headquarters, 89 West 134th street, showing that six companies have been organized. The recruiting stations are at 89 West 134th street and the Young Men's Christian Association, 252 West 53d street, which are open every Tuesday and Friday evenings. Col. Fillmore announces the following appointments: I. H. McCoy, first lieutenant and adjutant; Charles Cooper, first lieutenant and quartermaster; A. B. de Comathiere, first lieutenant and commissary; Dr. Gus Henderson, first lieutenant and assistant surgeon; S. R. Juliet, battalion sergeant-major; E. J. Lockhart, battalion quartermaster sergeant; John Lee, battalion commissary; R. Ritfeldt James, regimental sergeant-major; Joseph Watts, regimental quartermaster-sergeant; M. A. Hart, regimental commissary-sergeant; Alfred Frye, regimental senior color sergeant; Herbert A. Payne, regimental color sergeant. Ulrich's Real Wife One of the Wilderness Present in Tundra's Trial to Appear Against D. Sordell. Harry A. Ulrich, the drunken man who so brutally attached Dr. Booker J. Washington, the Tundrake educator, on a public street in this city last March, was "brought to book" in the Court of Special Sessions, Part V. Tuesday, Judges Zeller, Mayo and Ryan presiding. Dr. Washington was in court to prescribe Ulrich. Present also were his secretary, Emmette J. Scott; Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York; Fred R. Moore, editor and publisher of The New York Age; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department, Washington, D. C.; George W. Harris of the Amsterdam News, and other of Dr. Washington's friends. The people of the State of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James R. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford H. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this time delayed each time it has been called the trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution. Tuesday, through his counsel, he again pleaded for doing claiming that he had not been able to get witnesses into court—this, despite the fact that he had seven months to do so. Ulrich Makes Plea For Delay. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion, claiming that Ulrich had no witnesses and that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequences of his brutal and uncalled-for assault. The judges decided they would give him one more chance, and have set the case down for trial Monday, November 6. Dr. Washington has notified the District Attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements he has for Wisconsin and the West, make long since, so as to be in the court and prosecute Ulrich. The assault occurred several months ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington for a burglar, but to reporters he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich, his wife. Ulrich, however, was never married to the woman he claimed was his wife, and the real wife of Ulrich, who lives in New Jersey and was deserted by him several years ago, confronted him in court when he was Tuesday arraigned for trial. CHURCHE5 TO HELP PRESIDENT. Churches of the United States, Great Britain and German have taken united action in favor of President Taft's arbitration treaties and the creation of an arbitral court eventually to end war. Yesterday the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America from his offices in this city announced a commission on peace and arbitration. This commission is named upon authority of the executive committee of the council and therefore represents the thirty-one Protestant bodies in the council with their 18,000,000 members. The commission, which has on it members of almost all the principal religious bodies, is counted the strongest in personal standing that could well be named. The Rev. Dr. J. B. Remensnyder is chairman. He is president of the General Synod of the Lutheran Church. Among the members of the commission are Bishop Alexander Walters of the Zena A. M. E. Church, Rev. D. James M. Farrar of Brooklyn, Bishop Greer, Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, Dr. John Henry Jowett, Rev. Frederick Lynch, Dr. Henry M. Sanders and L. H. Severance. PRESIDENT TAFTS ELECTION CHANCES. In the last two issues of THE Age we have emphasized the disadvantage under which the Republican candidates for the Presidency will labor next year, because all of the Republican New England States except one, together with West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana, are now controlled by the Democratic party. It appears that this disadvantage is not as great as we had supposed. As the readers of THE Age are vitally interested in the question, we give them an opportunity to read the following article from the New York Times, by Mr. Charles F. Conant, ex-Assistant Secretary of the Federal Treasury, and now prominent in New York financial circles. Mr. Conant says: The rather amusing calculation given out by the Progressive National Committee, going to show that "to secure his re-election in 1910, he must have three Electoral votes from States carried by the Democrats in 1910." Is, when properly analyzed, the most conclusive proof of the Republican victory in 1910, three missing Electoral votes would be furnished by New York with forty-five and Massachusetts with eighteen. Even if the Democratic Committee should keep in the opposition much states as Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Ohio, and a number of others in New York, Massachusetts, with the States conceded to the Republican column in 1910, would be sufficient. Under the rules of the Republican Party, the Electors and the Northern States have called thirty-two, as against tea. In the South, it is exceedingly difficult to figure the actual victory the United States of Health has in high as to make the figures negligible. At the low-water mark of Republican governance, 67,000 Democratic plurality for Governor, 68,000 Republican plurality in Senate, but in the latter year President Obama won 18,000. He could stand the deductions of 60 Dix plurality, therefore, and still have a majority in the National Committee believes that New York, after a taste of Tumman government, is a Democratic Presidency year, that he is appointed in the Democratic column, their degree of sentiment in the East does not matter in the West. This is a cheerful viewpoint, the probabilities being that the Republican party will be able to recover the States of New York and Massachusetts, and then secure the necessary sixty-three electoral votes; but there is no certainty that it will do it. The Massachusetts manufacturers are not in sympathy with the tariff policy nor the reciprocity program of President Taft, and those same interests, together with the trust corporations and financial interests of New York, are equally disatisfied and restless. Of the thirteen great daily newspapers of New York City, for instance, three of them, the Tribune, the Gleaner and the Mail, are in full sympathy with and earnest supporters of President Taft and his policies. The newspapers are more powerful with the voters than the campaign, orators in a two months' canvass, because they hammer away three hundred and sixty-five days in the year. Experience has shown that there is nothing more uncertain than the electorate of New York State, simply because it is the most intelligent and independent in the Nation. The President's Western trip has known plainly a condition of public sentiment in rock-ribbed Republican States such as Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Oregon, and others, dangerous to Republican success next year, unless a healthy change is worked. Radicalism is rampant; the radicalism which Ralph Waldo Emerson declares "is destructive and uniless"—running pell-mell after initiative, referendum and recall, direct primaries, complicated election laws, commission government, open war upon unsecured interests, and the like. The President has done much in his trip to effect this radical sentiment, but the propagandists of it on the spot are able and tireless men, who are making open war on the steady-going, conservative policies for which President Taft stands. And, despite all that President Taft and his two immediate predecessors have done to appease "the fierce wrath" of the white voters of the Southern States the cold, unfeeling fact glares the Presidential lightning calculators in the face that not one Southern State can be counted upon for the Republican ticket next year. --- A DIRECTORY been compiled under the general direction of H. W. Scott, the president, and C. T. Bracken, the secretary. We recommend that our business men in all of the cities where Negroes engage in business in any considerable degree get together and make up a bona fide record of their business activities in the same way as has been done by the Local League of Dallas. Such a policy, if followed by local Negro Business Leagues throughout the country generally, would be of inestimable help in stimulating Negro enterprises. COST OF SAVING A SINNER. He is a benefactor who springs a palpitating subject into a stupid situation Mr. William Sunday is, therefore, a benefactor, and has placed the stupid situation, which is grateful, under obligation to him. Every sinner has a soul to save, and a very large and influential body of people have dedicated themselves to the work of saving it; and, too, without the desire or request of the sinner that the dedication should be made in his behalf; then, as long as mankind is divided into two classes, the saints and the sinners, the former, who consider themselves as the salt of the earth, will strive to save the latter, whom they consider the enemies of themselves and of society. The sinners have no such compact, world-wide organization as the saints, therefore we do not know, as we have never had a pronouncement, what the sinners consider themselves as, or what they honestly think of the saints. Well, then, Mr. Sunday has published his findings of the cost of saving souls in a pamphlet. Cost per soul: Atlanta $75; New Orleans, $78; Chicago, $305 Boston, $450; New York, $545; Indianapolis, $620. Who would have thought it! If we had been asked in which of the six cities we thought it would cost most to save a soul we should have stuck our stub pen into Atlanta, when behold, it heads the list for cheapness! It is one of those surprises that stagger belief. And Puritan Boston, with tougher souls than Chicago; and Indianapolis, with tougher ones than New York! How Philadelphia escaped the evangelist statistician is not explained. And we can imagine the sinners of Brooklyn and Jersey City kicking themselves because they were not appraised. Mr. Sunday does not say so, but we take it for granted that he enumerated the black sinners along with the white sinners, as we are sure he must be too good a saint to have made any distinction between them, in so important an enumeration, "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." STORE RENTALS IN NEW YORK Despite the phiomenal growth, in the past quarter of a century, of the department store, in New York City, where anything can be bought, under one roof from a brass tack to a corner lot, the small grocer, butcher, clothier, stationer and the like, are still the reliance of every tenement block, the people of which buy things when they want them, on the spur of the moment, as the saying goes, from a penny to a dollar, and from a dollar to a penny-worth, the purchase being made to fit the size of the cash roll and not the desire of the purchaser. The big stores seldom are visited by any of those people, except to gaze upon the display of rich things out of reach of their means, and which would give them no more service than the cheaper things they are able to buy. It is all in the imagination. Contentment with little is great gain, quothe philosopher. The rent that the small dealers have to pay is of the greatest moment to the dealers as well as their patrons, as the profits of the one and the cost of goods to the other are regulated by the rent the landlord has to exact, because of the taxation and other fixed charges he has to pay and yet get a fair interest on the capital represented in his property holdings. The dealer, the landlord and the customer are alike interested in the annual tax rate, which the politicians regulate by useless public improvements to satisfy the insatiable greed of contractors in the ring." and by going "the limit," as is the case of New York to-day, in bond issues; but the customer is the most interested of the three, as he has to pay, in the cost of his purchases, the rent and profit of the dealer and the taxes and interest of the landlord. In every instance, in all of the relations of life, the man highest up stands upon the shoulders of the man lowest down. The rental of small store property, then, in New York City, normally, is high enough; but when the element of race prescription in the rental of such property is added, by exacting a prohibitive rental of Negroes, one of the most effective drawbacks to the development of Negro business undertakings has to be reckoned with. For instance, we discovered, without seeking to do so, that small store property on the east side of 135th street and Lenox avenue, controlled by Jews and white agents, was not only 65 per cent, higher than such property on the west side, but that there was a disposition not to rent store property to Negroes, even when they are most numerous of the population of a given block. We infer that this condition is general. Negro real estate dealers, of whom we have a large and influential number, should have an understanding about securing and placing store space in the tenements and blocks of tenements controlled by them. It is to their interest to encourage business development among their own people, and this cannot be general and appreciable when Negroes cannot secure store space because of prejudice against them by Jews and white agents, or prohibitive rentals. Our own real estate agents have broken down the barriers against Negroes securing desirable tenement house apartments, even at the expense of paying vastly more for leaseholds than was demanded of white. real estate agents; and we believe they will in some way solve the store space problem and thus do more than could be done in any other way to stimulate the business initiative and development of the Negro in New York. UNCONSCIOUS CEREBRATION. It is an old saw, of general acceptation, that great minds often run in like grooves. By this token many a cunning plagiarist has escaped literary hari-kari. Most great thinkers have been accused or suspected of cribbing from their contemporaries or predecessors. Lord Bacon was accused of writing all of Shakespeare's plays, and Shakespeare in turn was accused of plundering the Italian literary storehouse, the stenchful Boocaccio included, for material for those same plays. Neither accusation has been sufficiently established or refuted. The disease is called, in the refinement of charity, unconscious cerebration. It sounds big and looks good in print. The late Goldwin Smith of Toronto one of the brightest minds of the age in discussing the question of "Commonwealth or Empire" (p. 43), in 1902, said: "In the United States the white man has a burden, such perhaps as no other nation has been called upon to bear. It would be hard, at least, to find any instance of a problem so arduous as that of the two races in the South. Where intermarriage is out of the question, social equality cannot exist; without social equality political equality is impossible." In the leading editorial article in The Aue of last week we quoted a paragraph from the Crisis in which Dr. Du Bois says: "Now, riding on a Pullman car is social equality, and there is no use in pretending that it is not. Equal political rights are impossible without social equality." The question, then, is pertinent: Did Dr. Goldwin Smith sit at the feet of Dr. Burghardt Du Bois and learn of him, or did Dr. Burghardt Du Bois sit at the feet of Dr. Goldwin Smith and learn of him? Or is it simply a case of unconscious cerebration? In our leading article last week we showed that there is use in pretending that "riding on a Pullman car is social equality." It is not. Far from it. And, too, Dr. Du Bois, having peculiar views and ways of doing things of his own may "ride on" a Pullman car, but we following the beaten track in views and ways, always "ride in" a Pullman car. As between "in" and "on" there is a difference with a distinction. TOO IMITATIVE The Southern Life Magazine, published in South Atlanta, Ga., complains that the Negro labor unions in Atlanta did not parade on Labor Day because they were not invited by the white labor unions to parade. This is the utmost folly. The white labor unions have not patent on Labor Day. Why not Negro's parade anywhere and at any time they want? If necessary let them invite the white labor unions to join them. This policy of leaning and depending at all times on white people is suicidal. All this is like our starting little secret organizations with the same name white people have, every time we hear about white people starting some organization. Some years ago we heard that white men had started a Red Men's organization, and Negroes have initiated them by having a Red Men's order. Why not let Negroes have a Black Man's order? We need to assert a little more independence and a little more independent leadership. EDITORIAL NOTES "Gurr toters" are having the time of their lives in New York. Under the new concealed weapons law the magistrates are giving those convicted of carrying such sentences of one to seven years. Eliminate whitty drinking and deadly weapon carrying from the problem and the criminology statistics of the nation would become available, while the national life and prosperity would take on new vigor, and strength. California, which has just given President Taft a royal welcome, has adopted by popular vote, woman suffrage and the initiative, referendum and recall. People who inhabit lands where earthquakes are capricious and frequent in their movements, are always mattled in their heads. An influential portion of the Chinese people are tired of the imperial Manchu tyranny and incompetence and have rebelled and hope to get a Republic by it. They have adopted the American colors for standard, the red, white and blue. The yellow dragon will have to look to his thick hide and long teeth, for they are after him. It looks as though the Catholic Church has arrayed itself against the initiative, referendum and recall frenzy, started and fostered by William Jennings Bryan, as both Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland have pronounced against it. The latter styles it "the weapons of mobocracy." In the next issue of THE Age we shall discuss at length the initiative, referendum and recall madness, as a living innovation knocking loudly for consideration and adoption by the voters of the country. The Shanks' potatoes are all the go by the car load, at cost price, at retail, in Indianapolis. They are purchased in the open market by Mayor Shanks to break the corner in potatoes established by speculators. Of course, "the Bronzed Viking," editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, whose magic bration in Bauer's Opera House, at the Louisville meeting of the National Afro-American Council, is still ringing in the rafters of it, eats Shanks' potatoes. Speculation in the price of food stuffs, which falls heaviest upon the poor, is one of the lowest and meanest forms of money grafting. New York has become a great literary educational as well as the financial and commercial center of the Republic, Columbia University alone has a registered student body of 7,468. This body has representatives in it of the three four great divisions of mankind—America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Not only in matters of education, but in every other respect, New York is the most cosmopolitan and democratic city on the globe. It takes into its stomach every sort of creature that comes, and either makes a man of him or eats him up. Perhaps nine of every ten are so eaten up. The Chicago Daily Tribune thinks it plausible that Europe has decided to divide Northern Africa, in view of German and French activity in Morocco and Algeria, and Italian activity in Tripoli, but questions if this can be done without the possible diamemberment of Turkey and a possible Pan-Islamic uprising. We do not think Europe, with the assistance of America, is ready to challenge as Christian powers the Islamic powers of Asia and Africa to a death struggle. The latter powers are by far, numerically, the stronger, and modern methods of warfare and equipment are the common property of all of them. A religious war is the most dangerous of wars. Gov. Woodrow Wilson has come out as strongly against church hymns that mean nothing as he has for new fads in governmental administration. He recently aroused churchdom by speaking against church hymns that mean nothing, the provoking hymn being "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." The whole hymn is a meaningless jingle of catchy words. Church and Sunday school hymns should mean something, but oftener than otherwise they mean nothin. Take "I'm Climbing up Jacob's Ladder." What does that mean? This: That Jacob had a ladder made of twelve sons called Israel, and that those who want to reach the blessings in Jacob would have to climb over all of the curses in the ladder, from Benjamin to Reuben. 一 The Chester County juries have acquitted seven of the nine men indicted by the grand jury for complicity in the lynching of Zachariah Walker, at Coatesville, Pa., and the expectation is that the last two will be acquitted. The state and county authorities have done their utmost to punish those guilty of the crime, but have not been backed by the citizens of Coatesville and Chester County, from which the juries are drawn. It is fair to say, also, that the Chester County grand jury did its full duty. Grand juries may indict, state and county attorneys may prosecute, and honest judges may instruct, but if prejudiced juries refuse to convict criminals, justice is cheated of its vengeance and lawlessness is encouraged. As we have said time and again, the mob sentiment that feeds on race prejudice is gaining a dangerous foothold upon the public opinion of the Northern and Western States. Are There Repeat Heavens? Are There Separate Heaven? The 60 or 70 colored citizens of Salem, the capital of Oregon, are experiencing some very unpleasant injustice through the recent prosecution by one of the court officials in the case of a man involved in the murder of a woman. ored church anywhere else than outside of the city limits. These same white Christians who are now clamoring so hard against the erection of a colored church in that city were some of the first to propose separate churches. We believed that the heavens—one for the white Christians and one for the black.—Portland Adocate. ABOUT GOV. WARMOTH New Orleans, La., Act. 9, 1911. To the editor of THE AOK: THE New York AOK of October 5 puts ex. Gov. H. C. Warmoth of Louisiana that he has "have fallen so low in their gratitude and self-respect as to speak of their old associates and Negro supporters as in an alleged interview by a Sailor reporter. This is a very unjust characterization of Gov. Warmoth, and it is certain that if THE Age knew the ex-Governor. Colored people of Louisiana will hardly have the power to enforce a capable disparagingly of the New York or anywhere else. At home where it takes courage for a white man to defend the Negro and face other white men and insist on the colored men enjoying all their political rights, Mr. Warmoth has the power to disparage the fight and the cause of the Negro. He was not long since before the House of Congress with a plea for the recognition of the right of colored men to vote and participate in politics in Louisiana. He spent time and money doing all he and unlawful an election in which colored men were not permitted to exercise the ballot in the First Congressional district. The papers his attorney filed in the case contained enough to satisfy any colored man that Gov. Warmoth had been involved in his conscientious Republican and a fearless defender of colored men as citizens. Gov. Warmoth more than any other leading white Republican of Louisiana in recent years has been invariable in his attitude regarding colored men participating in conventions and naming colored men for delegates. for membership of committee and the like just as he has done white men. When Pharr in the last State convention made his impassioned speech for his delegation and a solid white man, Pharr was Gov. Warmoth who rose and answered Pharr, telling him that if he did not want colored men in the Republican party it was plain that he was not a Republican and ought to go with the Republican and a solid white man. Pharr and his "Lily White" Republican and his convention and severed their connection with the Republican party from that time. That is enough to satisfy any reasonable person that somebody in New York has misrepresented Gov. Warmoth. 1811 Terpsichore St. V. P. THOMAS. Ed. NOTE: We are not responsible for the words put in Warmth's mouth by the reporter for the New York Suns; we have no disposition to misrepresent him; therefore, write to The Suns a disclaimer of the offensive characterization of his old Negro colleagues and send us a copy; we will gladdly give it a conspicuous The Sun Anz. It is up to him and The Sun Anz up to The Anz Anz to set the matter right. We were in New Orleans in 1886 striving to head off the purpose of Mr. M. A. Hanna of Ohio to commercialize the black Republican party and to destroy the Black Republican organizations they controlled in the Southern States, in his efforts to secure delegates to nominate Mr. McKinley for the Presidency at the white house convention. In that contend, in which the Republican were slaughtered, Mr. Joseph E. F. Florida was the only Negro in the South who had charge of Mr. Hanna's interests in any State: in every other State white men on guard Louisiana included, in 1886 the organization in Louisiana in 1886 was controlled by William Pitt Kellogg as National Committeeman: Henry Demas, chairman of State Committee, and Those, Age, Secretary, Gov. Warmouth sided. He also had theeld James Lewis; Mr. Hanna got the delaware and the regular Republican organization was disrupted and has never since got on its feet; it has been a white faction ever since, and Gov. Warmoth has ever acted. We are glad that in the last state convention he split with Pharr. LEGAL FRATERNITY GETS REC OGNITION. To the Editor of The Age: Armond W. Scott is not only recognized as one of the brightest legal lights in this community, but he is just as successful as he is able. He has been a man of great forensic ability, his speech, three years ago, presenting Senator Foraker with a loving cup, given by the Senator's colored admirer, his great stand in defense of the disastrous case he is being regarded as a very brilliant and effort. Though opposed to Mr. Taft, during the pre-convention days, because he was loyally for Senator Foraker, he is a thorough race man, and broad mind, commend good in any and every man. Speaking of President Taft, Mr. Scott had the following to say: "I thoroughly appreciate the Lonor President Taft this conferred upon colored lawyers of the law, and recognition he has given us cannot help appreciate local fraternity that high standing their ability and service merits. "By the appointment of Judge Terrell to the Municipal Court bench, the appointment of J. C. Napier of Tennessee, another high classed lawyer, to the Treasury, the retention of James, as Special Assistant U. S. District Attorney, the appointment of S. Lalig Williams as Assistant U. S. District Attorney at Chicago, and by that crowning act, the appointment of Win. H. Attorney General, the appointment Attorney General, President Taft, a high estimate upon colored lawyers. Not only should, and do the colored lawyers of the country appreciate this signal honoring of the fraternity, but they should also must appreciate it, for there is no color colored men doing more for the upbuilding of the race than colored lawyers. It is the colored lawyers who are the buffers between the Negro and his rights, and like the colored lawyers, and like the colored lawyers by the race, to contend at court for every case, to safeguard by the law, and for every privilege sought to be denied us by iniquitous laws passed by the Democratic party. Differ as some of us may with prejudice. Act as to his alleged South Carolina political representation in that section of policy to which I have always been opposed, we cannot help but admit and appreciate that he has taken an advanced step in the recognition he has given the colored lawyers. Certainly the time when the Negro faces an ally themselves with the Democratic party when every policy and principle has been the development of Negro manhood and womanhood. "I am hopeful that President, Taft will abandon his alleged Southern policy's affecting the Negro. I always contend for a whole loaf when hungry, especially when I know that I am not in need of necessary will accept a half loaf, but when so doing I still feel that I am entitled to the whole loaf. There is more likelihood of a Republican President giving us a whole loaf eventually than there is of a Democratic President giving us so much as the crumbs that fall from his banquet table. A WASHINGTONIAN. September 18, 1911. THE NEGRO PRESS Pointed and Practical. Quit lying and tell the truth; quit loading and go to work; quit plunging and save your money; quit meddling and attend to your own business, and Put a Stop To It. Now is the season for the fool cotton pickers both on and women of the race to do the "karr" on the Happy Go Lucky cedar and walk to and fro from the frost, touch to the back talking loud and acting such fools as to make decent people sick of their actions and shame to be one of them. "Ain't It So. (From the Dallas Express) Booker T. Washington besides being the world's most esteem industrial engineer is a Missionary Baptist Black Republican. Of all things he thought in the mist; upon these crafts he files no doubtful flag. This much cannot be said of his truducers. He does not blow hot and cold on the same subject.

Children for the winter and every indication is that they will have a successful year. Here at this school every Christian influence is thrown around the students. Girls are not only trained in the literary branches, but are trained also in the industries and domestic science. But perhaps the greatest good lies in the general sense that girls seem to possess after attending the school. We wish for the principals and teachers a year of uninterrupted quiet and progress. Bad Element Responsible. (From the Charleston (W. Va.) Leader) There can be no possible excuse for the disturbance started just outside of Edgewood Park, a quiet residential area Edward Woods, young man who was well liked in the community. Some of the parties in the unfortunate affair last week caused trouble at the last gathering of the members of the race at Edgewood Park. It seems that with worthy of note the very worse element is the first to be on hand and start trouble. This been a noticeable fact for some time and steps should be taken to debar this element from all others. Do nothing other than start disturbances and disgrace the race. Lord Help "Negroes and dogs" are not allowed at Lakewood park during the Summer when white people go there. The season for white people to attend this event is grown out of nowadays is over. The management low-extends of the grounds and the attractions to Negroes. They are distributing handbills inviting the Negroes of the city to come, and are urging the farmers from the country to come and bring their cattle to the Negroes. The merry-go-round. The Negroes by hundreds are taking advantage of this opportunity to spend their money and get a little after-season pleasure. This of thing may suit some folks. Charlotte Africa-American Freebyterian. Manage It Honestly (From the True Reformer) We are making herculean efforts to save an organization which has ranked along the side of such white organizations as the Royal Arcumum, Christian Knights of Krieg, and many others. It has done much to start the Negro on the road to success. The principles and rules of the organization are the same they were in the past. We have checked of this and other states were checked in their rocklessness and taught what could be done by co-operation, combination and concentration. These lessons have been helpful to the whole and easily full members of the order. Our condition is not on account of our rules and regulations nor on account of insufficient assessment, but mismanagement has brought the disarray to the organization. We proceed in a different way and with different guides, so that you can invitation to sacrify fortunes with us. Gin Bottles in Africa As everybody knows, these empty gin bottles become such a nuisance at Abekuta and danger to both man and beast that the authorities, were compelled to pass a law prohibiting the people from gin bottles and gin bottles on the streets. Rev. M. L. Storrie gin bottles on his church attracted huge crowds to his church march after night to hear his account of his experience of empty gin bottles at Abekuta and elsewhere; and his famous utterance, "Wi iyou turn bi way. Bottles; If you turn the other way, Bottles!" is formed of empty, everybody's mouth. On the other hand, bottles formed of empty, upturned bottles, still exist and can be seen any day by anyone who desires to see them. Of course, it is not to be wondered at if evidence of this kind escapes the notice of those who would pretend that drinker should have it is producing an nonexistent. If the story expressed in the aphorism, "None are so blind as those who will not see." The Lagos Weekly Record. Financing a Church One of the chief questions to be considered by our next General Conference will be the adjustment of our financial resources. We have established a financial basis on one dollar per member and apportioned among the Conferences according to their numerical and financial strength in an nearly joint manner. The trouble seems to lie in other grounds, the irregular collection and the inappropriate distribution of funds. the funds coming to the department. It is well proven that immediately before the conference assembles the General Fund is raised. Another suggestion that acceeds to meet with observers is to deposit the General Assessment and reporting every dollar collected to it. This would furnish financial credit never before enjoyed. The corresponding secretaries would then become in a larger degree field assets and a vigorous campion for all bevolunteer collectors is would resume. We have something to do with those who have something to suggest relate to these really important questions—Star of Zion. Opportunities in Nashville. Globe Nashville offers many businesses for the Negroes in her hounds. For instance, there is not a single Negro shoe store in Nashville, nor a dry goods store, nor a millinery store, nor a man's clothing store; there is not a grocery store, nor a church. There are several communities where Negroes predominate where there is not a drug store, nor even a grocery store; there is not a furniture store where new goods are being made; every dutch used in the Negro cities of Nashville are brought from ten other than black men. To say that Negroes can not engage successfully in any of these businesses is a misdemeanor, and the man who should attent it the Negroes would not support them is also erroneous. Good Advice. But Wasted Elsewhere we publish a communication regarding the reduction of the trustees of Wilberforce which seems to be along proper lines. We shall not mention the financial and educational problems at force until we entrust the work to a few capable, conservative, Christian men. At most, twenty trustees are enough for any school; one from each Episcopal district; at home with the exception of the bishop and our court, which might be included in the bishops of these districts who should be ex-officio members. It is a fallacy to hold that Wilberforce is a connectional school it should have trustees from every conference, both lay and ministerial, in a greater sense than Wilberforce, yet it has only one member of its board from each district. So the Publication Department and S. S. Union Church Extension and others are connectional, but some of them do not have every district repre- Furthermore the importance of our education work in the Southern States has grown so that it is the part of wisdom for Wilberforce to look chiefly to the first educational district for her support and government. With a number of other students—one men, Wilberforce could be much more efficiently managed than it is to-day.—Philadelphia Christian Recorder. GERMANY IN AFRICA Arriving fully a generation Late at Germany has New an African Policy. (Editorial: The Sun.) At the present moment Germany has on the west coast of Africa and facing the Gulf of Guinea the triangular shaped colony of Kamerun, which touches Lake Tchad on the north and is out off from the Congo by the comparatively narrow strip of French territory that connects the French possessions of the Sidan with the establishments near the mouth of the Congo. On the east coast, again, German Southeast Africa extends from the Indian Ocean to Lake Tanganyika, there touching the Congo Free State, which has a solid block to the Ethiopian River. If German Kamerun should be extended by the French cession of the territories between the Kamerun and the continent to a German ocean to ocean colony would be the neutral state of Belgian Congo, the possession of a minor European power which could not defend it and to which the Germans would be subject. What Germany asked, moreover, it is plain now that she will substantially obtain, the French territory certainly, the reversionary title perhaps less certain. Each of the larger European schemes in Africa has been expressed in the terms of a great railroad. The French planned the Trans-Saharan and are actually building the Trans-Sudanesan railroad. The Germans has served as a promise of unity. The Germans on their side have already begin two sections of their railroad of empire, the Trans-Equatorial which will cross African near the country both One other detail contributes the German conception as European colonial observers now see it. South of the Congo Free State and separated from by Portuguese Angola is German South West Africa, which stretches to the Congo River. The general collapse of Portuguese colonial power or in some instance induced by German influence Angola becomes a German possession, then save for the brief interruption of the coast encroaches of French Congo and Spanish Guinea. Germany would be an Atlantic coast line stretching from the Orange River to the Gulf of Guinea. In the Congo Ocean an external front from the Zimbabwe River. Such in late outline is the German African conception, now accepted by all European journals. Yet it has one incidental consequence, which cannot be disregarded. If Germany is to have an African colonial empire stirring from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean it must be in the British Colony of California. Course Free State is equally the barkstone; the success of one is the other. Since only one can pervilate therefore, it is not strange that English, German and French constituents alike are arising out of the settlement of the Moroccan question question of Anglo-German rivalry of which cannot yet be accurately measured. But for the moment what is most interesting most novel is that the Germans in their turn have adopted an African policy. Arriving a generation already successfully upset the exclusive policy of France and England, and with complete triumph laid the foundation for their "place under the man." Hanceforth Germany must be with in Africa. The part of the empire in England and France have obtained by previous activity, but the empire Germany now seeks is notifier inconsiderable new peaking in enormous commercial position, while the population may possibly return to the old nation of Ireland and France.

Hartford, Conn., October 17.—The Ladies' Night given by Nutmeg Lodge, No. 67, L. P. B. O. E. of W., was held in Conway's Dancing Academy, Thursday evening, October 12, to which fully two hundred ladies and gentlemen attended. Besides being a most novel act it proved a great success. The enthusiastic gathering, most elaborately arrived, caused the committee in charge to feel that its work had not been in mind. Deviating from its usual custom, that of affording amusement for the men in the form of smokers, etc., an affair of this kind is wholly an original idea among the Elks, it having been successfully tried once before, and one greatly appreciated by the ladies.

In seasons gone by the Smart Set Company has used a number of songs heard in other shows and acts, but this season both the lyrics and music have been. written expressly for the show, which’ makes the ‘entertainment better, as we prefer to hear iresh songs when we go to see a colored show than old ones. Mr. Dudicy’s song, “What Did I Say That For?” is funny, and he is compelled to sing a number of verses and choruses. ‘With the prospects of a good season ahead the management should do away with some of the old wardrobe used in “His Honor, the Barber.” Twice I was compelled to grow, reminiscent and think of the old production, due to old clothes—once when the men came on the stage in a number and another time when the female members of the chorus were on the stage. The expenditure of 2 few more dollars will be worth the while. There is one thing that we of darker hue take particular notice of, and that is the clothes worn by each other.

Ragtime has a stanch champion in Phillip Greeley Clapp. instructor in mu- sic at Harvard. This form of melody which claims America as its hom, has been mecting with rough usage of late at the hands of the scientists of the musical world. Prof. Ludwig Brum- mer of Berlin states that ragtime jars on the nerve centers, and causes an ir- ritation of the brain cells. Prof, Clapp makes a sweeping denial of such charge “Ragtime does not shatter the nerve centers, but it tends rather to puta pleasing effect upon the listener. The idea of it being immoral, too, is ab- surd. Music that is worthy of the name ig not going to wear anybody out, and by this I don't intend to exclude’ rag- time. Ragtime is a form of music which is very characteriste of this country and cannot be neglected in any consideration of American music as a whole.” WANT PLAY SUPPRESSED. The Irish citizens of Rosshn are very much wrought up over the presence of the Irish Players at the Plymouth The- atre in J. M. Sygne’s drama "The Play Boy of the Western World.” The Irish claim that the play is an insult to their race and asked the city authorities to suppress it f jecause of a protest by the Federated Irish Societies it cost the city $8 to have censors witness the performance Mon- day evening. Mayor Fitrgerald’ sent Private Secretary Leahy and John Casey, head of the Licensing Board, to take notes on the drama and report to him, and Police Commissioner O'Meara sent a representative as well as_attend- ing the performance himself. They, all put down cold cash’ for their seats, al- though the management was willing to do the honors, the expense, with the ex- ception of in the case of Mr. O'Meara, being on the city.
