VOL. XXV. No. 4. TAFT ON THE NEGRO PROBLEM Thinks Solution of Problem Will Be In The Widespread Industrial Education of Race PRAISE FOR DR. WASHINGTON President Says Educator in One of the Greatest Men of This or the Lost Century irrespective of Color. Special to THE NEW YORK AOB: Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 23.—When President Taft was in this October 16, he addressed the colored citizens at Blanchard Hall, speaking on race prejudice. He declared that he had given the so-called Negro problem much consideration and that he believed its solution would be in the widespread industrial education of the race. President Taft referred to Booker T. Washington as one of the greatest men of this and the last century—white or black. The chief executive of the nation said: "No friend of the Negro race would or could minimize the obstacles against which you have to contend in building up yourselves individually, and in building up your race as a community in the United States. No one who deals with you truthfully would attempt to depreciate the difficulties or mental suffering that many of your race have to undergo in encountering cruel and unreasonable race prejudices, and no one either would do you any good who attempted to stir up in your minds that of a prejudice against those difficulties, against that prejudice, which would lead you to the conclusion. of the facts that have to be overcome and one of the facts, which, when you have overcome them, will entitle you to the greater credit for the successful struggle that you have made. I have taken a great interest in what is called the Negro problem, and I believe it is to find its solution in the widespread industrial education of the race, especially in that part of the country where the race is most numerous, through the Southern States; and while there is a strong feeling at the South that presents a difficulty, those who have studied the question and those who live in the South know that there is a large element of the white men in the South who are the real true friends of the people of the South, and those who are his enemies are not of the best people of the South and do not have the true patriotism and the desire to solve the question presented by the races in the proper way. I know that there are differences among you. I know that your greatest leader, Booker Washington, finds those who do not agree with his method of refining your race. Personally, I think Booker Washington one of the greatest men of this and the last century, white or black, and I think so because he has had the courage, while he loves your race—his race, and would not be other man of that race—he has had the courage to tell you the truth, and to tell you the only way by which you can earn your place in the community and render better and better and higher and other. "He has had the courage to tell you that it is work, attention, industry, that will make you valuable to your community, that will cure the prejudices that now have to struggle, against, and when you furnish a mercenary or selfish motive to the white man, hower he may be, to respect you and ask for your labor to assist in build-up the community, then prejudices appear and his interest yields and get your rights. Now, my friends, I thank you for kindly testimonial. I want you to know, whether you do know it or not, there are those of the white people this country, and they number millions that sympathize deeply with you the struggle that you have to ungrand and realize that those sufferings not to be done away with by eloquence, not to be done away with byressions of sympathy, that they are hard burdens to carry, but it may do you to carry them to know that have friends in the white race, that have men who have a sense of responsibility for this government and people—this government and this that in times past brought you against your will and have necessiéd the conditions that now exist. Therefore, the United States is resemble you and for your betterment, but that responsibility cannot, in nature of things, reach to a point here it will save you and elevate you less than struggle on with bravery and courage and self-restraint and determination to win." CHELOR SUPPER AT NEWARK. Mail to The New York Ace* Newark, N. J., Oct. 24—Dr. James Boy Baxter gave a farewell bachelor er at his residence, 15 Elm street, day evening, which was attended by friends from New York City, Brooklyn and the Oranges. Dr. W. G.

SEXTON MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING Samuel B. Monroe Has Not Been Born for Over a Week—Made Gift of 5000 to Bethel A. M. E. Church the Day Before He Disappeared. "Where is Samuel B. Monroe?" This question is being asked by several hundred members of Bethel A. M. E. Church, who are greatly puzzled over the mysterious disappearance of their sexton, who has been missing since Tuesday, October 17. Owing to the circumstances attending Sexton Monroe's disappearance many of the members are inclined to believe that he has done himself personal harm and do not place much credence in the theory that he has met with foul play. That Sexton Monroe planned to absent himself from his home and the church is borne out by his actions only the day before he disappeared, when he called at the office of Counsellor James L. Curtis and had papers made out in which he presented Bethel A. M. E. Church, with $300 and Dr. Ransom with $30. On Monday, October 16, when Sexton Monroe called on Counsellor Curtis, he stated that his actions were due to a desire to give the church and others sums of money while he was in a healthy condition mentally and physically; that he also wanted to have the pleasure of seeing the beneficiaries appreciate what he gave them. On the following day Sexton Monroe left Bethel a. M. E. Church about 4 o'clock. He was last seen by Dr. Ransom. At the time the missing man appeared in a jovial mood and asked Dr. Ransom to give Counsellor Curtis a draft for $25 he had made out for legal services rendered. Dr. Ransom replied that he did not think that he would see Counsellor Curtis until Sunday and Wednesday when Sexton Monroe did not put in an appearance at Bethel A. M. E. Church a search was instituted for him, and his room on Fifty-first street was searched but no trace of the missing man was found. The police were notified, but they have been unable to locate him. Last Sunday during morning service Dr. Ransom told the members of the congregation of the mysterious disappearance of the sexton and read the papers which gave the church $300 and him $50. The missing man was sexton of Bethel A. M. E. Church for over ten years. BIG DEMAND FOR TEACHERS Dr. L. B. Moore of Howard University Says Professionally Trained Teachers Find No Trouble Securing Employment-What Members of 1911 Class Are Doing. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE: Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.—Dr. Lewis B. Moore, Dean of the Teachers' College of Howard University, has made his annual report to President W. P. Thirkield, D. D., LL. D., on the distribution and location of the graduates of the Teachers' College, class of 1911. He says, among other things, that the demand in the modern school for professionally-trained teachers in the pedagogical and practical sciences and arts is so great among colored people that it is impossible to supply the demand made by superintendents of education and principals of high schools and college presidents. "Were the classes in our Teachers' College much larger than they are, they would readily find positions of importance and large service," Dr. Moore maintains. Following is the roll of the class of 1911 with their present positions: COLORED DELEGATES TO ECONOMICAL CONFERENCE HELD IN TORONTO, CANADA. COLORED DEMOCRATS MUCH DISHEARTENED Discouraged Over Wrangling and Failure to Get a Colored Regiment LEE MEN MAKE CHARGES Say Robert N. Wood Has Brought Religion into Politics—Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall, is Disgusted. At this time the colored Democrats of New York City are about as peaceable and loving as two hungry canines after loudest. Since the colored voters began to ally themselves with Tammany in goodly numbers Chief Edward Lee has held undisputed sway, except for one short term, but now there are a number of colored Democrats who are ambitious to be leader of the United Colored Democracy in New York City. Chief Lee is not inclined to give up his position as local dictator easily and gracefully, and says he does not have to as he has the majority of colored Democrats with him. His strongest rival to date is Robert N. Wood, who has for the past year pulled off a number of political stunts to overthrow Chief Lee, but so far to no good purpose. While the colored Democrats express confidence and admiration in Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall, they are in an angry mood over the defeat of the bill introduced in the Legislature, recently adjourned, providing for a colored regiment in Manhattan. Gov. Dix was prevailed upon to sign the measure, the colored politicians assuring him that if the bill became a law hundreds of Negroes would vote the Democratic ticket in November that had never voted for other than the G. O. P. candidates. What Governor Dix Did. While the bill was passed in the Legislature it died because of the failure of Gov. Dix to sign it. Neither did he veto the measure, but allowed it to die of its own accord from neglect. By adopting such a course Gov. Dix did not arouse the wrath of the white regiments who opposed the organization of a colored regiment, and the state's chief executive thought, until a few days ago, that he had not put himself in bad with the colored Democrats, not having exercised his veto prerogative. The defeat of the colored regiment bill and the divided front being put up by the black Tammany braves does not make the outlook appear very bright for the colored Democrats, and the situation does not at all please Chief Murphy, who is having plenty of trouble at this time with the white Tammanyites. Chief Murphy is said to have stated in vigorous fashion last week, and in words none too polite, that he was tired of the fight going on among the colored Democrats. The opponents of Robert N. Wood are now up in arms and charge that in his attempt to wrest the leadership from Chief Lee he is dragging in the Catholic Church of which he is a member. They claim that they will not stand for religion being brought into any political controversy. LIBERIA GETS $65,850 Money a Part of Donovan Fund Left Republic Thirty Years Age—Sum Will Be Used for Educational Purposes. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.—Liberia is soon to become in possession of $65.850 from the American Colonization Society at Washington, D. C., for educational purposes, which is a part of the Donovan Fund left in the interest of the o. A de- lor Liberia conference H. L. E. American West Lyon in this Harry S. little republic many years vision to transfer the man was reached Saturday held in Washington betwe Johnson, President of Colonization Society, Dr. the Liberian Consul Ge country, and his attorn Cummings of Baltimore For the past two years the Liberian Government has been encouraging to get the money, but the American Colonization Society has not been disposed to turn it over until now. President Johnson has been more friendly toward the proposition than any of his predecessors, and he has co-operated with Dr. Lyon to have the sum turned over to the Liberian Government A cable has been sent to Liberia informing President Barclay of the outcome of the case. MISSIONARY JUBILEE Northern and Southern White Women Address Negroes at Charleston—Bishop Guerry Preside—Interest in Religious Forward Movement. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE: Charleston, S. C., Oct. 24.—In connection with the golden jubilee, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of organized women's work for foreign missions, a largely attended mass meeting of colored people was held at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church last week. The Rt. Rev. William A. Guerry, D. D., Episcopal Bishop of South Carolina, presided and the meeting was addressed by the missionaries and mission workers who are making the tour of the South in the interest of the Golden Missionary Jubilee. The Rev. Abraham Lincoln De Mond introduced Bishop Guerry in a brief but pointed speech that brought forth applause from the large audience. He spoke of the progress of the past 50 years, the noble work of women in the mission fields, and expressed the gratitude of the colored people for the interest Bishop Guerry had taken in their welfare. Bishop Guerry told of his lifelong friendship for the colored people, but said that he welcomed the day that finds the black man in larger and larger measure bearing his own burden. He said that as the Chinese were being Christianized by Chinese, so Negroes must be evangelized by Negroes. The missionary speakers for the evening were Mrs. W. Eugene Sallee, a native of Texas, who has just returned from mission work in the interior of China; Mrs. Henry W. Peabody of Massachusetts, who has spent many years as a missionary in India, and Miss Daisy Davies, field secretary of the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Miss Davies moved the audience to applause when she exclaimed: "If I had all the money that Barnum and Bailey's circus will take out of the Southland this year, I would build a hundred schools and send missionaries to the foreign field." A missionary collection of $43 was raised. The colored men of Charleston are co-operating in the Men and Religion Forward Movement campaign. Thursday evening, October 19, an enthusiastic meeting of colored men was held at Mt. Zion Church. Able addresses were delivered by R. H. King and Dr. A. R. Miller. The Colored Committee of One Hundred was organized with the following officers: Chairman, the Rev. N. R. Sterritt, D. D.; first vice-chairman, the Rev. A. L. DeMund, D. D.; second vice-chairman, the Rev. M. M. Mouron, D. D.; third vice-chairman, the Rev. S. D. Thom, D. D.; recording secretary, R. S. Lawrence; treasurer, W. R. Campbell; corresponding secretary, Rev. C. P. Goody, D. D. MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS Gilbert C. Morris Successor George F. Bula as President—Board of Directors All Representative Man. Boston, Mass., Oct. 25—It is the destie of the colored citizens of Boston—those who belong in the constructive method of doing things, rather than putting in a large part of their time criticising—that they have a banking institution to compare favorably with any of the banks conducted by Negroes in the South, and they are striving to make the Eureka Co-operative Bank a representative financial institution. Colored and white citizens are depositors of the bank, and an effort is being made to interest the colored people of the Hub City in what is characterized as "the real forward movement among the people of Boston." At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Eureka Co-operative Bank Tuesday, October 17, the annual reports were read and all the business and transactions of the bank were gone over. President George F. Betts presided. Owing to business Mr. Betts declined re-election and Gilbert C. Harris was chosen. The election of officers resulted as follows: Gilbert C. Harris, president; Robert G. Smith, vice president; David E. Crawford, secretary and treasurer. Board of Directors—George N. Rainey, chairman; James E. Atus, Dr. L. M. Holmes, the Rev. C. A. Ward, George F. Betts, Fred F. Smith, Edward Winston, Samuel L. Merchant, C. J. Johnson, Joshua A. Crawford, Stanbury Hexter, Americus G. Watson, George W. Brown and William H. Hemingway. The next meeting of the officers of the bank will be held Monday, November 6. About the Bank's New President. Gilbert C. Harris, the new president of the Eureka Co-operative Bank, is one of the best known colored business men in the United States. He has a national reputation as a wig maker and numbers among his patrons the most noted and famous people of the country. As an evidence of his standing among his people he has been the treasurer of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the largest church organization in New England, for many years. For many years he was treasurer of the large and influential Boston Lodge of Odd Fellows. He has been the treasurer of the National Negro Business League ever since it has been in existence. In the past fifteen years Mr. Harris has handled many thousands of dollars for these organizations with entire satisfaction. He was from the first one of the largest depositors in the institution and has constantly said that it was the best and safest institution ever organized in Massachusetts and should receive the encouragement of those who truly believe in union and progress. George N. Rainey, the new chairman of the Board of Directors, is one of the energetic and progressive business men of Boston. David E. Crawford, the treasurer, is the wealthiest colored man in Boston. He owns more modern apartment houses than any man or company of colored men. He is a lawyer with a large and lucrative civil practice. The entire list of officers presents a set of men worthy of the confidence of the people. WORLD DENOUNCES LYNCHING Papar Deploros Mob Law and Refere to Recent Acts of Lawlessness—Boeffs at Plea That Negroes Are Lynched in Defense of American Womanhood. In a strong editorial denouncing lynching, under the caption of "The Crime of Being a Negro," the New York World of October 24, charges that Negroes are lynched because of their color, and says: "In a Georgia town widely known as a model community a mob last week took a Negro from jail and lynched him for the offense of striking a white man. In an Oklahoma city on Sunday a Negro was taken from the hands of a deputy sheriff and ridden with bullets for killing the City Attorney and shooting two other white citizens in a riot provoked by a Negro who pushed a white woman from the sidewalk. "In neither case had 'the usual crime' been committed by the victim of the mob's vengeance and in neither was there the excuse that the honor of women had to be protected by making an example of the culprit. There was no occasion to fear that either male-factor would escape justice. The Negro lynched in Georgia was in a cell awaiting punishment and the Negro lynched in Oklahoma was in safe custody. Granting the greater provocation to wreak vengeance on the assassin of a city official, the mob had been assured that he 'would be convicted and legally hanged within thirty days' and there was not the slightest reason to suppose that the promise would not be fulfilled. "The mobs which have made these additions to the ghastly record of blood vengeance in a civilized country may at least be credited with tearing the veil of pretense from the plea that Negroes are lynched in defense of American womanhood. They are lynched because they are Negroes where the ordinary processes of justice are not swift enough to punish. When Negroes are summarily put to death without trial and without discrimination for offenses as far removed in heinousness as simple assault and murder, the theory is enforced that justice in this country is for the white man and not for the Negro. "It is something to have lynching freed of its hypocrisy; but with what a sardonic commentary on the equality of all Americans under the law without distinction of color!" CONGREGATIONS BURY MATCHET Nothing so far during the mny year's struggle of the Harlem A. M. E. Zion Church has been more hopeful of permanent peace and unity of action and a complete annihilation of the spirit of bitterness between the mother and daughter as the laying of the corner stone of the new church in 138th street recently by the Odd Fellows of the District Grand Lodge of the State of New York. The Rev. J. H. McMullen, pastor, and the members of his church were touched deeply by the action of the members of Mother Zion led by the officers of the church, who not only were present but who contributed largely towards the funds which totaled nearly $800. Many of the local clergymen were present together with Bishop J. S. Caldwell, D. D., of Philadelphia, Penna, who conducted the services for the church. Dr. R. C. Ransom delivered the address, which was regarded by all an able and timely one, briefly portraying the history of the organization. The church is nearing completion and will possibly be dedicated the first of the new year. The congregation is still worshipping in the little church at 136-138 East 117th street, where Dr. McMullen invites recruits for the new church. The services last Sunday were greatly interfered with owing to the inclement weather. Bishop Alexander Waltera, D. D., sent the pastor a substantial check for the work and indicates his interest in many other ways, as does Mrs. Waltera, his devoted wife. The Church folks express their thanks through The New York Acq for friendly considerations of all who show their sympathy toward the work. GET A VOICE IN PARTY COUNCILS Colored Republican Voters of Maryland Secure Recognition A UNIQUE CAMPAIGN Contribute Money to Republican State Central Committee and Meet Other Expenses CHANGE IN STATE OF AFFAIRS Passing of Professional Politician—Missgoose Organize Ancillary Committee—Digges Bills to be Defended. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 25.—In Margo land the day of the professional colored politician, who makes it his business to hang around Republican headquarters during a campaign and beg money for personal use, is about over. The Negroes of this state are playing a part in the gubernatorial campaign this fall which is out of the ordinary. They are not assaying the white epublican leaders for money, but have organized and contributing funds to carry on the campaign. Within a few days the Republican State Committee will receive from the colored voters' $500 with the request that the money be used to elect a Republican Governor and defeat the infamous Digges disfranchising bills. It is probable that more money will be contributed later on. The Negro voters have formed all auxiliary to the Republican State Central Committee and have established headquarters at 414 W. Hoffman street, a three-story structure, and the expenses for maintaining headquarters will be met by the colored citizens only. Colored speakers will go throughout this state and urge Negroes to vote in November, and they will not ask any financial remuneration. The white Republican leaders have a different opinion of the Negro voters than they did two weeks ago. And what's more they are showing them more consideration and giving them a say in the party councils. No more is the Negro given a few dollars and told what to do, but his advice is sought with reference to the Negro vote. New conditions have not been brought about at the instance of the white Republican, but through the Negroes themselves. With 52,000 colored voters in Maryland, nearly 18,000 being in Baltimore alone, several of the representative citizens decided to secure just recognition, so what a white man was appointed to look after the Negro vote a vigorous protest was raised by the colored citizens and the white Republican leaders began to sit up and take notice. Plain Talk for White Leaders Dr. Ernest Lyon, ex-United States Minister to Liberia, was called in by the managers of Phillips-Lee Goldsborough's campaign, and after he finished telling the white politicians assembled what the colored voters would not stand for they decided to give the Negroes an active voice in running the campaign. Instructions were given that the colored voters form an auxiliary to the Republican State Central Committee, and that they have full charge of the colored voters. Dr. Lyon has been made chairman of the auxiliary committee, and is being assisted by the following: Hugh E. Moorbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times, assistant chairman; the Rev. A. L. Gaines, treasurer; the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, secretary; J. H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger, chairman of the press committee; Dr. W. M. Alexander, president of the Maryland Suffrage League; Councilman Harry S. Cummings, the Rev. Harvey Johnson, the Rev. S. S. Jolley and former Councilman H. M. St. Clair, both of Cambridge; Capt. Edward H. Wilson, Upper Fairmount; Solomon T. Houston, Salisbury; Dr. U. G. Bourno, Frederick; the Rev. G. W. M. Lucas, Cumberland; John P. Forrester, Centreville, and Spencer Patterson, St. Dennis. Since 1901, the Democrats have been trying to disfranchise the colored voters of Maryland and have met defeat in every instance. This fall they have not agitated the question as in former years, planning to catch the Negroes asleep. But times have changed since years gone by, and the colored voters are suspicious of all amendments relating to registering and voting, no matter how ingeniously framed. There is very little likelihood of the passage of the Digges amendments, but in November the colored voters expect to so overwhelmingly defeat the constitutional measures that the Democrats will not have the heart to put another disfranchisement proposition before the people again soon.

Notes of the Masonic Fraternity Gathered by a Master. The monument erected to the memory of Prince Hall by the Masons of Massachusetts in Copp's Hill Cemetery, was unveiled June 25, 1895. Brother Frank Price, the genial past master of Hiram Lodge, No. 4, is working like a Trojan to complete arrangements for the monster musical melange and dancefest to be given by the Prince Hall Building Committee January 11, 1912. It is indeed interesting to note the apathy and seeming lethargy displayed by the rank and file of our brethren in regard to building a Masonic Temple; not so long ago the field was canvassed and the general sentiment was that we should build a Temple by all means, and now that the "faithful few" have inaugurated and promulgated plans for carrying on the work those who were loudest and foremost in their expressions of approval are significant by their inactivity. Brethren, let us awaken to the true sense of our engagement and rally to this effort as one man. A few days ago I met my good friend W. O. Murphy, most noble featus and illustrious Prince de Cacao of the Desert of Sahara; "Tom," said he, "when are you going to er, er, er?" "William," said I, "just as soon as Martin comes." Send all Masonic news for publication to Thomas H. Alston, 315 West 36th street. Minister Does Good Work I was transferred to the New York Conference by Bishop D. A. Payne by special request of Bishop B. T. Tanner on May 12, 1893. I served successfully the following appointments: Cosmopolitan Mission, Brooklyn, three years; Huntington, one year, breaking the record in reports on all lines: Bayhore, L. I., built and dedicated a new church, left a fine congregation, one year, collected more money at one rally than had been done at any time up to that date; Oswego, redeemed our church from the Sheriff's sale, and built it; L. I., built Birkdale, three years, the annual conference of 1800, the first home session over which Bishop W. B. Derrick presided. It was said he have been the best entertained in its blissary expense not one other's expense to the conference. I went next to Olean, where we found another unfinished church building. In one year we completed and had ready for us the second adjoining in whose conference. They has just celebrated their tenth anniversary, and we were there by special invitation of the officers and members. This is one of the monuments of our efforts of which we are proud. We were sent to this noted watering and summer resort to establish a church. We organized a church and purchased a building for the purpose of erecting a building. After a two years pastorate we left with the account in favor of the church for some one else to complete the work. This is a fine field for the right hand of man. Our next place was Westbury, L. I., one year. We made a payment on the person responsible for the report to conference. From here I wont to Setaquet and Port Jefferson, L. I., and within three years improved conditions, at former places, and success revived organizations a mission the latter place, creeting and delicating one of the finest little chapels on Long Island. was what had done at this latter place when we were there. The charge—Elmhurst. Of all the propositions with which I have had to deal, I found here the greatest. Its complications taxed me. I had to find ways a thankless task to attempt to complete what some one else has made a failure of, especially where $6,000 of the person money has been spent with no people. After a hard struggle of two years I am able to say that I have solved the problem of accomplishing the work of a decommissioned other military brass. I have also been successful in bringing to our assistance a few white friends of means and expert to pay down in hard money the debt of our former brass members is done according to contract, on or about October 25. Several memorial windows from friends in New York City have been donated in commemorative or their own compensation to them belong to General John G.

Don't forget the congregational meeting Wednesday evening, November 1, at 8:30 p.m. Harlem Congregational Church The attendance at Harlem Congregation Church, 2152 Fifth avenue, last Sunday, was large. In the morning, the parquet, in front of the room, was filled with interesting sermon from the text. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (I. Cor. 419). In the evening I. Cor. Holder again filled the pulpit, and "We have not yet resisted unto blood." Owing to the inclement weather, the attendance at Sunday school at 2.30 P.M. was not large. I. Cor. Holder presented an excellent programme at the Christian Endevor, at 7 P.M. as follows: "Invotional exercises, by Dr. Holder; tenor solo by Payton Byrd; vocal solo by Peyton Byrd; in the Slave Trade; Miss T. Husband"; vocal solo, Mrs. J. E. Loundon Isaacs of Brooklyn; a solo by Miss Anne Greene, assisted by chorus, brought the programme close. Miss George Cole charged the programme next Sunday evening.

Union Baptist Church Dr. Sims visited the Pennsylvania State Convention last week in company with Dr. N. S. Epps. He reported that Dr. E. W. Mann, the president of the institution already served 10 years. The system as well as brethren were very enthusiastic in their conventional work. At 11 a. m., Dr. R. C. Wood, the newly elected president of Lynchburg college and the president of the institution preached a sermon to our people that will not soon be forgotten. His subject was "The Dawn of a New Day." The sermon was filled with thought and eloquence. The preacher see why our brother was made president of such an institution as Lynchburg. Our Sunday School attendance was as large as usual. The Baptist Young People's Union still nourishes. The Missionary Circle still makes progress. At 7.30 the Golden Rule Tabernacle No. 90 of the Sons and Daughters of Moses were out for their annual sermon. Did they did? Did they attend a church, for we had our crowd. Our pastor preached from the subject of making a nation. The sermon was received heartily. On Monday evening there was a great meeting of the 5,000 movement on to the Missionary's duty to the South. A Mark Harrell urged the organization of our people, to march on to Washington on May 7. Mother Zion. Sunday morning services were well attended at Mother Zion Church. It was refreshing to all to hear the sermon, as the gloomy weather had left a depression on the face of the profile, and the services dispelled the gloom and brightened the thoughts of all. The Rev. Bolden spoke from the following verses: "Though he were a son, yet learned his obedience by the things which suffered. And being made perfect, he suffered. And in them of other saints unto all them that obey Him." Hebrews 3:8.9. The theme was authority and obedience, the most magnificent moral equipments in life. He said that the word son, as it applied to the word father, was far more important than is generally emphasized. For Jeans was not only the son of man but the Son of God, and that these two ideas suggested that he was the highest and best expression of the human Father's glory and the express image of His person. The screen was thoroughly enjoyed by all who heard it. A number of visitors came to the school to see the Sunday school had an interesting session. The Lyme presented an excellent program. A Jackson of Terrytown, N. Y., had charge. The Rev. Bolden occupied the pulpit at the 19th Psalm, giving an exposition of the 16th Psalm. There will be special services at the church Sunday. Pastor Bolden desires to see all the leaders with their members out in full force. The Rev. f. S. Cooper left for Washington on Monday morning. Y. W. C. A.

Resolutions Passed by Colored Residents of Washington. Deploring Death of the Late Justice John Marshall Harlan—Plan Memorial Exercises. Washington, D. C., October 25.—The colored citizens of this community do not fail to appreciate the valuable services of the late Justice John Marshall Harlan, and in order to demonstrate their love for the deceased, memorial exercises have been proposed. At the close of a recent meeting of some of the workers for social uplift in the capital a resolution offered by Jesse Lawson was unanimously adopted follows; "Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst in the zenith of his usefulness, a co-worker in his service for the uplift of mankind, in the person of the late Justice John Marshall Harlan; therefore, "Resolved. That in the death of Justice Harlan the judiciary has lost one of its ablest jurists; humanity a faithful friend; liberty an unfitting champion and the cause of justice and fair play for all classes of citizens an advocate that cannot be readily replaced. That for the very valuable service rendered the colored people in defense of equal justice for all, and for his unbiased stand on all questions coming before the court of last resort, of which he was a distinguished member, a mass meeting of colored citizens be arranged for in this city at an early date in honor of the life and services of the late Justice Harlan, and that persons of distinction from all parts of the United States be invited to participate therein." An interesting figure at this time is Dr. William Mehard Davidson, the newly elected superintendent of colored schools who will be called upon in a short time to decide how the trend of education shall go on with the colored people of this community as between several factions of the citizens here. Dr. Davidson probably has seen more of the present day colored social life in his short stay here than all of the white members of his official corps and the members of the board of education, barring Captain Oyster, president of the board. He is continually being invited to address colored audiences and as continually sticking very close to the profession of education. Occasionally he has let drop a sentiment which has led the very wise to believe that he intends to develop the Normal School No. 2 and the Business High School on a much broader plan than that on which they both are at present running. When the Normal School was started a quarter of a century and more ago, the need then was for fairly well equipped teachers to run into the educational system, the demand being far greater than the supply and the students training to fill the demand being much more mature than the present student body at the Normal School. It has been proposed that the Normal School course be extended to four years instead of two as at present. A new building is being erected for work in connection with this institution, and it seems altogether probable that Dr. Davidson will urge the change as intimated. Dr. Creed W. Childs, president of the Home and School Association of the Normal School recently had the new superintendent to address one of the association meetings. He expressed great pleasure at the development of the social center idea in educational circles in this community and prophesied the development of a community of interest between the family and the school home which would have a large influence upon the future of the nation. The music for this occasion was furnished by Prof. Joseph Douglass of Howard University, Miss Celestine Lott, Miss Ruth Grimshaw and the Jeter trio. A Masonic Charity reception will be held at Convention Hall on the evening of November 23. The second meeting of the Booklovers Club for this season was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Lawton in Thirteenth street, Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson entertaining the club.

Bruce, Rosetta E. Lawson, Miss Hilda Freeman, Dr. John R. Francis, Prof. George William Cook and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Lawson. A Halloween party will be given by Mrs Amphias H. Gleen and a number of other ladies at Martin's cafe on Tuesday evening, October 31, for the benefit of the colored social settlement.

Hon. Solon Menos, the newly appointed Haitian minister to this country has taken up his residence in this city. eys Wood Is Sailing Under Falses Titles. Buffalo, N. Y., October 25.—The colored Democrats up-state are not tilted to take Robert N. Wood of New York, seriously when he repremits himself to be the State leader. Allan G. Smith, secretary of the United Colored Democracy of Westm. New York, has issued the following statement: How Robert N. Wood can continually assume the title of State leader have for him and give him the power to comment in the State concedes his false claim and that it is obnoxious to the up-state Democracy. "I do not enjoy a personal acquaintance with Mr. Wood, for do I intend to take any part whatever in the present controversy over the leadership of New York City, but as a man I cannot and will not allow any man to represent himself to be that which he is not. Had Mr. Wood been willing to be fair with the Negro Democrats of the State after reading the article in The Age of August 20, he would have at least been modest enough to use his assumed title with discretion. Then, again, if he intended to be honest if his claim was true he would have refuted the charges then preferred."

Baylor, pastor of State Street M. E. Church South, spoke to a large audience at the Bristol Normal Institute Friday night under the auspices of the Negro Business League.

Grant, in 1885, have the Negro people been called upon to lament the death of a friend so remote from them in his place and so close to them in his sympathies as John Marshall Harklan, an Associate Justice of the Federal Supreme Court, who died at his home in Washington Saturday morning, October 14. Mr. Harlan had been conspicuous in the politics of Kentucky from 1858, when he was elected county judge, until he was appointed to the Supreme Court Bench in 1877. Between those years he held many and high positions in the State and Nation, including membership of the Louisiana Commission, growing out of the Hayes-Tilden presidential election dispute, and in all of them he displayed the same high efficiency and devotion to service which characterized his long career of nearly thirty-four years on the Supreme Court Bench. Justice Harlan believed in a strict construction of the Constitution, and has consistently opposed the tendency of the Court to read the "rule of reason" into the Constitution, to read law into the Constitution, by making precedents, an instructive chapter concerning which was written, recently, for The Outlook by President Theodore Roosevelt. It is a distinctively revolutionary and dangerous tendency, inaugurated by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, in 1856, who undertook to read slave law and precedent into the Constitution, and thereby helped fetch on the War of the Slave Holders. In a recent deliverance Justice Harlan defined his position on the question as follows: In the new not very short life that I have passed in this Capitol and the public service of the country, the most alarming tendency of this day, in my judgment, so far as the safety and integrity of our institutions are concerned, is the tendency toward judicial legislation, so that, when men having vast interests are concerned and they cannot get the law making power of the country which controls it to pass legislation they desire, the next thing they do is to raise the question in some case and get the court to construe the Constitution or abstain so as to mean what they want it to clean. That has not been written. Practically the decision today, is not made in the judgment, but parts of the opinion, are the effect that the courts may by their judicial construction amend the Constitution of the United States or an act of Congress. That it strikes me is palindrulous and that is the part of the opinion to which impossibly object. It is to this tendency, so tersely stated by the Justice, that distrust of the Courts in due; a distrust which raised a storm when the income tax decision was rendered and its shuttlecock character was understood, and which has taken shape in the Recall of Judges proposition now, up for discussion and settlement. It is obvious enough that public confidence in the Courts, Federal and State, has been greatly shaken because of this very tendency to read law into the Constitution, rather than to interpret law by the Constitution. The Federal Supreme Court has been a great offender in this matter. Justice Harlan believed that the three war amendments were incorporated into the Constitution by "We, the people," to mean what they do mean, and to accomplish what they were intended to accomplish; he, therefore, construed them strictly, and in doing so found himself at variance with a majority of the Court whenever a question came before it involving any of the vital principles of those amendments. His dissenting opinions on the opinion of the Court upon questions involving the principles covered by the war amendments should be collected and edited and published in book form. Justice Harlan was an active member of the Presbyterian Church; and kned a consistent Christian life, in this setting the highest and best example for the youth of the Nation, as well as in the practice and administration of the law. The example of such a life, like the lives of Chief Justice John Marshall and Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, constitutes the glory of the American Judiciary and pride of the American people who, at bottom, love justice, and the human virtues which exalt justice. Ex-Congressman George Washington Murray of South Carolina, now of Chicago, is making a lecture tour in Texas, and we learn from a two-column article in the Dallas Express that nothing the films of him was ever seen or heard be- here in the classroom of the Law School flag. He has with him, it is said, a patented Race Problem Solution, warranted to solve, something they need more budy and urgently in South Carolina than in Texas; but Mr. Murray, if we remember aight, is not allowed to exhibit the Solution in South Carolina where the desire to get rich quick proved his undoing. Experience is a heartless schoolmaster, and he is a wise man, indeed, who remembers and practices what he learns of him. GOVERNMENT BY MOB LAW. Calamity Howlers have been the curse of popular governments in all ages. Those in power have to stand the clamor of those out of office, impassioned appeals to the basest passions and interests of the electorate or the soldiery who make and unmake rulers being made without regard to truth or the safety of the State; and when those in power have been hounded out, they in turn become Calamity Howlers. In the long run they all become tarred with the same tar, rulers and makers of rulers alike, so that the common interests and the State are swallowed up and finally effaced. Athens, Rome, Florence, Venice, were strangled by Calamity Howlers who, having no good in themselves, could see no good in their fellows. As a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, so rulers are no stronger than their electorate, and their electorate is no weaker than their rulers. If they persistently undermine the truth, the character, the one of the other, there will come a time when the weakness of them both will result in the strangulation of the State and their common interests represented by the State. The Federal Republic has been subjected to many tests in the past which threatened its life, but it was never confronted with such a test as that which William Jennings Bryan' thrust upon it in his "Crown of thorns and cross of gold" speech, in the National Democratic Convention at Chicago in 1896, when the issue between capital and labor was sharply and bitterly drawn, and has remained and grown more acrimonious and determined until this day, so that distrust permeates the whole mass. Capital distrusts labor and labor distrusts capital; public officials, the office-holders the politicians, distrust the electorate, the voters, and the voters distrust the politicians. In the effort to control enough votes to secure power the politicians of all parties have, since 1896, pandered to the lowest and basest appeals and pledged themselves to the most revolutionary policies, regardless of the common interests or the safety of the Nation. Speaking of the situation which confronts us, in a public sermon at Baltimore, October 1, Cardinal Gibbons, one of the strongest and most helpful influences in American life, said: To give to the masses the right of annulling the acts of the Legislature is to substitute mob law for established law. To recall a judge because his decisions do not meet with popular approval is an insult to the dignity, the independence and the self-respect of our judiciary. Far lessening to the commonwealth is an occasional corrupt or incompetent judge than one would the habitual slave of a corrupt or incompetent judge, always ear to the ground trying to find out the verdict of the people. Speaking to the same subject, at Council Bluffs, Ia., October 11, Archbishop Ireland of Minneapolis, said: Democracy, yes; mobocracy, never. Toward mobocracy we are now bidden to wnd our way. The shibboleths of the clamor, the initiative, the referendum, the recall, put into general practice as the evangelists of the new social gospel would fain have them, are nothing more or less than the madness of democracy. The bigheat and extremes become evil—so with democracy. With the initiative and referendum legislative bodies become mere bureaucats of registration and exchange for popular views and opinions. All conclusive authority is lost to them. A small fraction of the population sets the machinery of legislation in motion, retards or annuls its decrees. And this for all subjects, the most absturse and complicated. The ultimate verdict, it may rest, rests with the whole population, but it is true, problems problems regarding which the whole people have no adequate knowledge, to which, in the throes of a political campaign, the people are unable to give the requisite reflection. "Whatever the social or political revolutions with which the country may be threatened, for the sake of America, let us pray the God of Nations, let there be no sacrilegious hand laid upon the courts, impailing their independence or lowering their majesty." It should not be overlooked that government by mob was first instituted in the Southern States, in 1874-6, when legally elected and constituted. State governments were intimidated and overthrown by armed mobs of Democrats, fresh from bloody battlefields on which they had failed to overthrow the union of the States, and that since that time Southern State governments have been and are administered by a minority of the citizenship, who have been and are deprived of any share in the administration by cunningly devised primary and election law which the Federal Supreme Court and Republican Congresses have recognized to be regular and valid, on the theory that blood is thicker than water, despite the fact that blood is water before it is blood, and the further fact that "an injury to one is an injury to all." The British nationals throughout the country will now the cancer of Southern government by mob law is growing at the whirl of the States of the North and the West. They who sow to the winds reap the whirlwind. In this situation of affairs the Nation will be wise if it shall cling to a man of the judicial temperament and training and resolute character of President Taft, rather than go after a will o' the wisp like William Jennings Bryan or Woodrow Wilson. 300,000 DISSATISFIED CHURCH PEOPLE. The phenomenal growth of Negro Churchh denominations and membership under their own governing bodies and laws, is one of the most significant and encouraging phases of the problem of manhood and citizenship that confronted the race after the War of the Rebellion. The people rallied to the standards of the churches after the war as if they were the inheritance into which they were to come out of the black night of slavery, and by so doing put to confusion those who prophesied that, as free people, they would go to moral wreck and ruin, devoured by the vices of the white man which it takes him-half his time and money to prevent from swamping him and his institutions. The upper and nether, the good and the bad among men in all lands, wage a relentless warfare for mastery. There is never any let up. The Baptists, Methodists and other denominations that have representative church governments, predominate among Negroes, and they have a just right to pride themselves upon the vast membership they have gathered together and the valuable church property they have acquired and own. Their founders who built upon very small beginnings could not have dreamed of the magnitude to which their work would grow. There are some five distinct Methodist Episcopal Church bodies, under separate names and government, that believe primarily in the same doctrines and preach the same Christian philosophy, other than the 300,000 that belong to the white Methodist Episcopal Church. Many efforts have been made in the past twenty years to effect consolidation of the Negro Methodist bodies, but very little progress has been made. The advantages to be derived from such consolidation are conceded, but some stumbling block has always been forthcoming, trivial in character, to prevent it. Rev. Ernest Lyon, D.D., LLD., exUnited States Minister to Liberia, a man charged to the muzzle with ideas and the necessary courage to back them, has put into pamphlet form a sermon of his on the condition that confronts the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, some 300,000 people, which he calls "autonomy." Dr. Lyon shows very conclusively that this membership occupies an unsatisfactory position in the church, tolerated only by the white membership, with small representation in the general councils and very little voice in the government of the church. They have only three of the general offices filled by General Conference vote—Missionary Bishop, Secretary of Freedman's Aid Society and Editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate—with no hope of better representation or of ever securing the election of a regular Bishop, with residence in this country. "In this condition," Dr. Lyon says, "we are deprived of Episcopal representation among our own people, as well as representation in the National and State. We are swallowed up by the overwhelming number of whites in this imperfect union." Dr. Lyon does not advocate separation from the parent Church, but we infer that he would not shrink from it. He offers the autonomy plan suggested by Bishop Foster. "Autonomy means," Dr. Lyon says, "that we remain exactly as we are in the Mother Church, but govern ourselves, instead of being governed by the whites,"—with their own conferences, bishops, secretaries and the like, a church within a church, in short. The plan looks inviting, but there is nothing of promise, and all of disappointment in it, we believe. A church governing body within a church governing body would be provocative of more discontent than now obtains. If the 300,000 churchmen in whose behalf Dr. Lyon speaks with so much force and eloquence are convinced that their standing in the councils and government of the church will not be changed for the better, so that they will ultimately stand upon equality in all things with the white membership, they have only two courses open to them: First, to remain with the parent body and accept what they can get; or, second, to separate themselves from the parent body, organize a working organism of their own and take all of right which belongs to them as such independent body. President Taft has added 4,000 miles to his circle swing, making 17,000 for the total, and plans to be in Washington November 18. He has made a good impression on the people of the Central West and Pacific Coast States. SOUTH CAROLINA is famous in American history because of the great men it produced during the Revolutionary period, and in the anti-slavery agitation from 1804 to 1807, and because it is the resting place, on Sullivan Island, of Osceola, the Florida Seminole Indian, one of the greatest soldiers in history. Its great statesmen before the War—Routledge, Pinckney, Hayne, Calhoun—were great even when in the wrong on questions of National policy; the same is true of Wade Hampton and M. C. Butler, after the War. But after those two men were shoved aside, ousted from the Federal Senate by the Tillman type of "Hill 'Billy and Hill Bully," after 1878, the State has been dominated by as low a type of demagog as ever scuttled a State or cut a throat. Talking about two of this sort, who have dragged the reputation of South Carolina in the mud, the New York Sun says: A real contest between Senator Tillman, whom everybody knows, and an antagonist worthy of his powers would interest the whole country. Senator Tillman has managed to make himself the centre of a thousand converging forces of inspection and enthusiasm. He has posed an exemplar of the rugged virtues, as an exponent of the uncouth but incorruptible. There can be no doubt that if circumstances should raise up against this formidable campaigned an opponent who promises results the subsequent proceedings would be of the most dramatic nature. Governor Blease is not well known outside of his own State and those immediately adducing, but if he begins a struggle with Senator Tillman he will fill the Appalachian indications with echoes of great pith and moment. He is young, impudent, accomplished and persuasive. He was originally a Tillman man, an understudy in fact, and he appeals to the same passions and prejudices that lifted the quondam prophet and leader to the pinnacle of political eminence. Senator Tillman, who discovered and utilised the raw material, is now incapable physically of conducting a vigorous sight. Governor Blease is active, enthusiastic, and besides he has nurtured the organization that Senator Tillman dropped. Tillman and tillease, the Senator in Congress and the Governor at Columbia, the names of them joined together, sound much as the noise of Samson's foxes, lied tail to tail, might produce on the sensitive ear, attuned to harmony in patronymics as in music. Gov Blease has been even more blatant in treating the Negro citizenship of South Carolina as aliens than Mr. Tillman as Governor, or Senator, and this is detracting much from the sum total of Mr. Tillman's blatancy, blackguardism which his paralyzed tongue might resent if the subject were suddenly brought to his attention in the Hill country where he is arriving to recover his speech. Let Tillman and Blease fight it out. If they should kill each other before the battle of words is concluded it would be a good fortune for the others of the South which would warrant them in solemnly setting aside a day of prayer and feasting, with "joy unconfined", bubbling, exultant. But South Carolina and the Republic are likely to come upon no such good fortune. Loud talkers are never good fighters, and Tillman and Blease seem wound up for many more years of "wagging of the tongue and shaking of the head." More's the pity. BASEBALL MADNESS New York and Philadelphia went baseball mad last week, when the championship series was played between the two winners of the pennants of their respective leagues. And yet only a small percentage of the population of New York and Philadelphia purchased the high-priced "pasteboards" and witnessed the games. Of course the millions who did not scramble for seats or jam the streets in front of bulletin boards read the newspaper reports in full, and some of them were tiresomely full, or contented themselves with the score of the results in the brazen, flaring, glaring headlines published in the newspapers It is a good and healthy thing that so many people are interested, more or less, in the National game. It distracts the attention from too absorbing concentration upon the daily concerns that burn the candle of life at both ends, and it lures thousands from the heat and noise of the big cities into the open country, into the fresh air. And the enthusiasm and good humor that characterize the great baseball crowds are not only life-giving but teach the lesson of self-restraint, of self-control, without which most of the clashes that keep the police busy are provoked. The women have won the fight to vote in California. Now, will they vote, and as their husbands command them? As an issue in politics the Negro has become as negligible as the Indian. I. he cannot stand on his merits, he has to fall on them. Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia was in an automobile mix-up near Roanoke, Va., last week, but escaped unhurt. Men of his vicious sort often bear a charmed life, but his Fury always catches him in the end. Mr. John D. Rockefeller now weighs 150 pounds, and somebody has traced his ancestry to the royal Plantagenets of Great Britain. In this country the Almight Dollar is the golden key that opens any old sort of lock. A life sentence was given two Italians and seven years for his wife for kidnapping a five-year-old child in Chicago last week. The child stealing disease is prosecuted to furnish a market as debased as the shrewd brutality which seeks revenge or profit by it. There are said to be 3,000 millionaires in New York City, only 250 of whom belong to the Recess Club, with 140 on the waiting list. If there is anything more curious to study than a live millionaire it is a dead pauper, and a live pauper is worth more than a dead millionaire. A Kansas farmer recently ate a biscuit which thirty minutes before was standing grain in the field. A Kansas hog could be got to his mouth from the stry in equally record-breaking time. They have been doing things rapidly and in their own way in Kansas, ever since John Brown of North Elba taught them how. --- Mr. James J. Hill accounts for the hard times here and the hard times on the way here by the fact that farmers have to raise twice as much as formerly to feed those employed in other industries than farming. Perhaps; but there is more foodstuff in the retail markets than hungry people have money to buy. How account for that? A moving picture theatre manager is serving a twenty-day sentence for admitting minors to his place. Music dance hall and moving picture shows are among the worst agencies for the corruption of young people of the large cities. There is a movement in Chicago to weed out the dance hall attachment to saloons, and there should be one in New York. War cannot be successfully engaged in nowadays unless the money Shylocks furnish the cash sinews, and they will not do this unless they see very clearly where they are coming on. On this account Turkey and China, which are bankrupt in purse and character, cannot borrow the money they need, the one to defend itself from Italian aggression and spoilation, and the other from rebellion at home. 一.

A jury refused to allow the charge. We have many preachers who are undertakers in New York, but they lump the funeral sermon with the undertaker's bill, "throw it in for full measure," in most cases, we understand The Progressive Republican League has come. It met at Chicago, 200 strong, last week, adopted a set of resolutions and endorsed Senator Robert Marion La Follette for President. At the conference Senator La Follette was It and the other 199 responding parts of It. There were two Senators and one Representative in Congress in It, while the others were more or less unknown of character and reputation. But the League should be watched. Senator: Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois has left Springfield for Washington in despair of harmonizing the party discord in his State, and declaring that he is too poor to maintain a home in Washington and pay board in Springfield. Senator Cullom evidently does not belong to, nor is eligible for, membership in the Senatorial Millionaire Club, some of whom give their private secretaries all of their salary as Senators. He says if the Republicans of Illinois want him to serve another term in the Senate he will do so Cold shivers have appeared in the columns of certain daily newspapers lest William Randolph Hearest should make off with the Democratic nomination for President, or of some independent faction. With a string of daily newspapers stretching from Boston to San Francisco, Mr. Hearst creates more confusion between capital and labor, and has more fun of the Neroic sort, and makes more money out of it all, than any other American. He has no more hope of warming his patent leathers at the White House grate than has the red-headed freckled face Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, but it pays him handsomely, as a newspaper proposition, to keep his Presidential boomlet alive and screaming. The new five-dollar note, few of which have found their way into Turn Anx office, has upon its smiling front the blood-hound face of President Andrew Jackson, and the signatures of Treasurer Lee McClurg and Register James C. Napier, all of Tennessee. No other Treasury note, it is said, was ever signaled by three names from the same State. And time makes strange bedfellows. What would "Old Hickory" say if he were alive to find that a Treasury note with his face on it would be valuation without the constraints of a future necessity. Negro? President Jackson, by the way, appointed Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in 1836, for the purpose of scotching the State bank monopoly, but he became gibbetted in history as the author of the Dred-Scott decision, in 1856, in which "it is held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights which a white man is bound to respect." Now his face on a Treasury note would be worthless unless the descendant of a black man signs his name to it. The Philadelphia Record directs attention to the significant fact that prison stripes are being discarded in many prisons in the clothing of the prisoners, the modern tendency being to cultivate in the unfortunate a feeling of self-respect. Close-cropped hair and close confinement are being done away with gradually, while the parole system, or shortening of the sentence, for good behavior, is being extended. But this applies to Federal prisons and some of the State prisons, not in the Southern group. In the latter the most barbarous prison methods, for the most part, are still practiced. This is due to the fact that most of the convicts in Southern prisons are blacks, for whom, it is argued by those in authority, any sort of treatment is good enough. Some of these days the responsible Negroes of the South will organize and maintain a Prison Reform Association, for which there is plenty of work to do. The barbarous Southern prison system has never recovered from the exposure and drubbing of it Mr. George W. Cable give it quite two decades ago. The unfortunate, like the poor, we have always with us, and the Christian obligation, therefore, is upus to do what is possible to mitigate the horrors of punishment and to encourage reformation in the character of the unfortunate. A CORRECTION In the leading editorial of last week's ACE the types made us say that "all of the Republican States of New England except one are in the Democratic column." The sentence should read "all of the New England States except three and all of the Middle States except one are now controlled by the Democratic Party." FIGHTING THE BOLL WEEVIL Charles Banks Issues Letter to Colored Farmers of the Delta Advising That Active Campaign Be Waged Against Post. Special to The New York App Mound Bayou, Miss., Oct. 23. — Charles Banks, president of the Missisippi agricultural open letter to the Negro farmers of the Delta, as follows: To the Negro Farmers of the Delta: The boll weevil has infected practically the entire delta. Its destruction in the southern part of the state has been dreadful. But the fear of the weevil has more hardships on our people than the boll weevil. The who stayed where the weevil found them have fared better than those who came away to escape him. These last ones came into hardships they knew not of, and have the thing to do is to rout the weevil, instead of allowing him to rout you. The merchant acted for the best interests of all in not advancing money when the weevil appeared, for more money was invested, for the first year of his advent that had been done in better crop years. It has taken you a lifetime to get together the things you own. To work or break up and start a business you do not understand, will very likely mean your undoing for all time. You can and should raise more hay, hogs, grain and feed stuffs. Nor does this mean to neglect cotton as a government and other methods, the weevil-infected district can be made to yield as much as other places. For instance, Sharkey may buy hay from a producer more cotton than Cochahua did without the weevil. So, judging by the light of past experience, it is the part of wisdom for the weevil to do himself to the conditions surrounding and remain here and light it out. This is my advice and counsel as president of the Negro Business Council of Mississippi, which has for six years been eye open for your best interests and pointed you the way thereunto. Yours truly. CHAS BANKS VIRAS, BANKS, President of Mississippi Negro Business League. Mound Bayou, Miss., Oct., 1911. The farmers have decided to act on Mr. Banks' advice and light the toll weed along systematic lines. Colored People Owning Farms In the good old "second" state of South Carolina, where the rebellion in behalf of slavery fired its first shot heard down through all the coming ages, the Negroes own more farms than the white people. According to the 1860 census, 10,000 farms in that state, of which number the colored citizens owned $8,950 or more than half. The increase of farms owned by negroes in the decade from 1860 to 1865 accounted to more than a thousand years. If this thing keeps on, the Negroes will be the land artistry of South Carolina before many years. Looking down upon this situation, we wonder Barnwell, Memminger, Keltt and Milk think of it now! We wonder if Brooks, looking on at the statistics, would not drop his club and run. What changes a mormon idea, put to work, makes in a country. But refer to the practical fact—the improvement of the negro race in the mere fact of possessing land. It elevates them in character and purpose of the good of his race, a Negro should own land—get away from the city, be indo problem, and find the white person that is the Negro brightest outlining the Negro's love of happiness among the Negro land owners of this country than there is among the mill migrants of New England.—Daily (Columbus, Ohio State Journal). A Splendid Doctrine (From the American Baptist) Every able bodied man should be a work and especially is this true in a busy season when every man's service does not apply more urgently, but this does not apply more urgently, but he man than to another, for he can or black he should not be an illiterate a vagrant. There are entirely too many, colored men around the court rooms with no business demanding their presence there and the county attorney-of Christian county should be break it up, but his efforts should not be directed against colored men alone for a loafer has no more right to be around the court room than has a colored loafer with no business calling him there. The man who wont work when his services are actually needed should be made aware that wont work when they there it is not doing better than to have him work in county roads, for he should be of some service to the community. The good road movement is not only popular, but it is a necessity and in every community these idlers and vagrants should be pressed into service in the community for the good of the community. If some organized effort was made in this state in every county, vagrants, loitering and idleness could be reduced to a minimum. HARTFORD, CONN Hartford, Conn., Oct. 24—The Harriett Beecher Stowe Club held a parishal at the residence of Mrs. Braxton E. Hill on Brook street, Monday evening, October 15. The large attendance of members and friends spent a pleasant evening in music and song. James Gordon acted as toastmaster and his writings caused much amusement. The affair proved to be more like a reception than a social as the ladies seemed to be especially dressed for the occasion. The music consisted of duets by. Braxton E.

WALTON FIFTEEN YEARS AGO UP in Harlem a few evenings ago a goodly number of Frogs gathered about their "pond" and began to exchange ideas on the race problem. The discussion drifted to the theatrical profession. Some of those present, who had seen more winters and summers than others, showed an inclination to become reminiscent and reflective. The younger members were inspired to listen to the喧嚣 of their elders, and the number of affairs brought out some interesting history with reference to the colored performer. Hanging on the walls of this unique organization are the theatrical pictures and billing of by-gone days. One half sheet in particular that engaged the attention of this loquacious gathering was printed about fifteen years ago—a decade and a half. It announced that a monster benefit was to be given at Miner's Bowery Theatre in aid of Mamie Emerson, who was at that time in ill health. Everybody's name was printed in the same type, and the bill read as follows: Mme. Sissieretta Jones, Mme. Flower and F. J. Piper, Mr. and Mrs. Tom McIntosh, the Mallory Brothers, the Reese Brothers, Williams and Walker, C. L. Moore, Hodges and Launchmere, Mattie V. Winkler Johnson and sean Ernest Hogan, Tole Kearney, Johnson Robert A. Kelley, Brown, Lloyd Gibbs, Billy and Willie Farrell and Irving Jones. Three colored shows were represented—the Black Patti Company, A Trip to Coontown Company and Isham's Octoon Company. The benefit was given under the personal direction of Jesse A. Shipp, while W. A. Foster was stage manager, and Sam Corker, Jr. announcer. Since fifteen years ago some of the performers who appeared at the Emerson benefit have won name and fame in two continents. Several of them have passed into the Great Beyond, while the majority are living and still in the show business. A few have retired from the stage and are following other avocations. Benefit was given for Manie Emerson, Williams and Walker had not gained distinction in America and Europe as comedians; Ernest Hogan had not demonstrated to the managers that he was worth $300 a week alone in vaudeville, and the late team of Cole and Johnson had not written "Under the Bamboo Tree" and other hits which made them big vaudeville favorites. The brightest star of the lot at that time was Sissieretta (Billy Rett). Fifteen years ago Billy Parrell had not crossed the Atlantic and become one of the sensations of the English variety houses. Each act on the bill was taken sep arately, and the following observations were made: That Mme. Sissier ettes Jones (Black Patti) is now in her sixteenth season on the road at the head of her own company. Mme Flower is still in the show business and doing a single turn in vaudville. She was a member of the Dr. Beans from Boston Company up to two weeks ago as prima donna. F. J Piper is deceased. Mc Tomlntosh died about seven years ago while leading comedian of the Smart Set Company, having succeeded Ernest Hogan. Hattie McIntosh, is in vaudville. The Mallory Brothers are in Jacksonville, Ill., and are now pawnbrokers, and the Reese Brothers earn their livelihood as vaudville artists. As to Williams and Walker, this erstwhile famous team is a thing of the past. George W. Walker, the most aggressive fighter of them all for an amusement, is dead, and A. Williams is the largest white musical shows of today—the Follies of 1911. C. L. Moore, who later became personal representative for Williams and Walkers, presiding in New Haven, Conn., is planning to identify himself with the theatrical profession again. Hodges and Launchmere have seen sets come and go, but are yet in the ring, and Mattie V. Wilkes, who is the widow of the late Ernest Hogan, is in Russia appearing in the vaudville Johnson and Dean are also abroad. For the past year or more have been enjoying much success as vaudvilleians in the country. Ernest Hogan, the greatest colored actor-comedian, died in the spring of 1909 after a lingering illness. "Bob" Cole and Billy Johnson dissolved partnership soon after the benefit. "Bob" Cole, the last of the great triumvirate that did so much to advance the best interests of the colored theatrical profession—died only a few months ago. Billy Johnson is in Chicago appearing in vaudville. Robert A. Kelley, one of the old war horses of the footlights, is a member of the vaudville team of Kelley and Catlin. Tom Brown of Brown and Newvaro, is abroad, and his act well liked by the feigien Lloyd Gibbs is a member of the Bannans. Forniss playing in New York. Billy Farrell, an old vaudville favorite in England, is entertaining the subjects of King George in former years, and Willie Farrell, his former wife, is married and living in New York. Irving Jones is presenting a vaudville offering with Bart Grant. Jesse A. Shipp is producing acts and is interested in several business enterprises in New York. W. A. Foster is conducting a music store in Chicago, and Sam Corner, Jr., has just returned from Chicago, where he was managing the Pakin Theatre. Mamie Emerson is involved and when last heard of was the show business. The married characteristics and pe- nicious nature of it was told how Ernest Hogan came from the West in a broad-brimmed hat looking like a cowboy, the absence of style and elegance in which Williams and Walker first entered New York City from Chicago to Billy Bill's acclimatizationally parted the cakewalk craze while working at a casino at Rockaway Beach. It was truly an interesting and instructive discussion in which pathos and humor both played prominent parts. Some of the older members shook their heads and spoke feelingly of the great change Father Time had wrought in fifteen years, and the others agreed that things were not the same. It was the consensus of opinion that the bill on the wall told a story of much historical value. Before parting the members of The Frogs reached the conclusion that the half sheet which will soon reach the age of sweet sixteen, relates a romance involving the colored theatrical profession, which is similar to the history of races and classes of people possessing the necessary elements to make up history—incidents involving the joys and sorrows, the dead and the living.

Who was the first to dance the Turkey Trot on the stage? This is a question agitating theatrical circles, as many performers are claiming distinction of having introduced the dance which is being used in one fashion or the other in the majority of the Broadway musical shows this season. Not only are they dancing the Turkey Trot in the United States, but it has made its debut in London, Paris and Vienna. Mme. Pacchia last winter announced that she was taking back with her a dance she had discovered in the West that had originated along the St. Louis levee and well known to frequenters of the dance hall along the river front. Then came Blossom to the stage. She came while she called the Todolo Glide, claiming that she learned the dance out in Frisco and had been using it for four or five years. Mae Howard, known as "Queen of Burlesque," states that she appeared in the Turkey Trot twelve years ago, and is quoted in the Morning Telegraph as follows: "Why beat around the bush and try to find a mysterious origin for the dance," she asks, "when nearly every one knows it is nothing more or less than a modified form of the Loving Two-step," seen in every dance hall in Southern and Western towns for the past fifteen years. "It was twelve years ago, while I was playing Louisville, that I saw the dance for the first time and immediately modified and staked it for my production. It was then identical, in almost every detail with the Turkey Trot of to-day. It is really nothing more than ragtime with a little trot introduced and accompanied by a peculiar motion of arms and body. The some more experience for the same love and desire about the same dance in Spain for ages. The popular 'La Sorella', which was introduced in The Queen of the 'Moulon Rouge', and has been used frequently since in this country, was written for the young King of Spain when he visited Paris several years ago, and that at that time our American 'Turkey Troa' was one of the features of his amusement." EDITOR'S NOTE.—With all due respect to Mae Howard, Blossom Seeley and Mme. Parlown, the Turkey Trot is a distinctly American Negro dance and was first danced by the colored man in this country.

Coming Colored Star at Brown At Brown University this year is a colored student by the name of Shepley, who is attracting more than ordinary attention as a football player, and is also giving advice to the team. he will be given a chance on the team. This is Shepley's first year at Brown, and while he is not eligible for varsity, he has been playing on the scrubs against varsity and has been giving the members of the first team no advice. Those who have seen Shepley play predict that he will make a great reputation as a knight of the pigskull. He is a handy player, is daring, and is so built as to successfully tackle the heaviest and speediest players. The team is giving him out at tackle and expect to develop him into a great half back.

As was well known, he was under six months' engagement with Lester, and admitted that the American was a hucky young fellow, who would give a good act of kindness to the British in Hotting Day. His (MacVea) had fought him three times before, but they were in the days when he had had no experience when he had stood 20 rounds with Johnson. Johnson was a man whose methods required a fighter, who wore a man down, and waited for him to come to him. Johnson was a good, clever man whose ways in the ring were calculated to bring his opponent Johnson liked fighting at close range so that he could hit him. He had a peculiar way of getting on to his knees. He had a peculiar way of raving - man until he had him at his mercy, and then he waded in. His methods were the photograph pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight. MacVen considered he was as strong as Johnson, but how tall he was longer in the reach. He had studied his fighting closely and considered he knew his best punches. If he managed to hit his own in and, at the least, give the champion a hard tussle, his punishment than Johnson? He was asked. "Well, Johnson is a man who has never bumped up against much punishment, he has been on his powerful arms, and keeps clear of hurtful punches." "I think of Langford?" "He is at all times a dangerous hard hitter, and can stand a terrible hiding, but is handicapped by so small. Unable to move, he is clever. At the same time, if he was as big as Johnson or myself, neither of us knew how to get clashed." "When I fought Langford," he added, "he kept me moving. I guess there was no cold breve under my feet during that fight, but my feet did not know how to get clashed." "What is your favorite hit, Sam?" "What is your favorite bumping. They know it is a hook, but comes off all right, and it is hard to stop." "That is the question I hope to make good in Australia." "What do you think of Burne?" "He is a good little game gopher, but he refuses to meet him. He should he refuse him before he fought Johnson, as he had agreed to do so." Billy McLain, manager for MacVee, chipped in and said, "If Burns had fought on then Johnson could not have been there, and the would have been MacVee boss. Is that not so?" MacVee taught and booked this head. "Maybe," he answered. P. S. A. L. of Washington Gives Out Plans. All officers and all committees of the Public School Athletic League of Washington, D. C., have been chosen for the season of 1911-1915 and plans have been adopted for the year's work. Public school schools are now encouraging basketball teams that play series two teams may represent each school, one in the lightweight division for boys who do not weigh over 95 pounds and one for boys of any weight.
