REPUBLICANS REGAIN STATE
Farcical Democratic Administration is Repudiated at the Polls
G.O.P. WILL Have Large Working Majority at Next Session of New York Legislature
BIG DEMOCRATIC LOSSES
Republicans Make Goals in Greater New York and Up-State—The Bronx Revolts Against Tammany and Dix
"The result of the election in every part of the State indicates a revival of confidence in the Republican party, and a positive rebuke to the legislative record of 1911 and Gov. Dix.
"Grave responsibilities now rest on the newly elected Republican Assembly to show the people of the State its capacity for intelligent and concientious treatment at the same time it for determination. It may not be able to accomplish great achievements owing to the Democratic majority in the Senate and Gov. Dix, but it will enable a better check upon any further exacerbation of the character enacted or attempted at the session of 1911."—William Barnes, Chairman of the Republican State Committee.
At Tuesday's election in the state of New York the voters showed what they thought of the administration of Governor Dix and the work of a Democratic Legislature by electing an A
legislature of New York next January.
A year ago the Democrats elected eighty-five Assemblymen to thirty-three Republicans, one Independent Democrat and one Independence Leaguer. Tuesday the voters, both in Greater New York and up-state gave evidence of the esteem in power by electing 101 Republicans to forty-nine Democrats and one Socialist to the New York Assembly.
Of the thirty-one cities in the state of New York, which held mayoralty elections the Republicans came out winner, electing mayors in Albany, Auburn, Cohoes, Dunkirk, Geneva, Gloversville, Kingston, Newburgh, Oneonta, Oswego, Rochester, Rome, Syracuse, Utica and Watertown.
New York City and Brooklyn contributed largely to changing the Assembly from Democratic to Republican. The Republicans gained eight Assemblymen in Manhattan and the Bronx and in Kings the Republicans have elected fifteen out of the twenty-three Assembly districts against five a year ago.
In every section of the state the Democrats lost heavily, but nowhere was the revolt against Dix and Tammany so obvious as in the Bronx, usually a Tammary stronghold, which will not have one Democrat in the Assembly to represent it at the next session of the Legislature.

CUVILLIER RE-ELECTED
Negro Voters Responsible for Re-election of Assemblyman Who Introduced Colored Regiment Bill.
Louis Cuvillier, who introduced a bill in the last Legislature at Albany which provided for a colored regiment in New York City, and who has been posing as a friend of the colored voters, although the measure did not become a law, will have another opportunity to introduce a similar bill, as he was reelected Assemblyman on the Democratic ticket from the Thirtieth Assembly District Tuesday.
Cuvillier owes his election to the hundreds of Negroes in the district who believe that the Assemblyman was sincerely in his efforts to get a colored man elected. The election of Harlem people by thousands of Negroes occurred over a hundred more votes than his Republican rival, Hyman Powder. In this district the Negroes supported the Republican candidate for Alderman, who was elected.
SAYS HE WAS BITTEN
Attorney Leavelle Claims He Did Not Use His Teeth on Attorney Outlear and Has Never Used His Teeth on Any Living Animal.
Attorney Louis A. Leavelle, who had a personal encounter with Attorney David C. Outlear recently, the two lawyers having quarraled over politics, denies that he performed any mastication stunts while fighting Attorney Outlear, but claims that he was bitten in the fray. He declares, however, that he is not in a serious condition by reason of the bites he sustained.
Attorney Leavelle makes the following statement:
"In reference to the article in Tux Auc last week, please permit me to say that I never saw my whole life kicked or bit an human being, and I certainly have not bitten any other kind of animal that was alive. There has never been any one moment in my life when I thought either act was necessary. I have never been for a moment in my life in that much distress, as I deen it.
"The manly art of self-defense is good enough for me. I never violate the Queensberry rules. I would feel much like a canine if I ever bit anyone. I myself, have been bitten, but I am fairing well. I do not want anyone to think that I would bite.
"In the light of your article last week, I would consider it a favor if you will publish this statement."
COLUMBUS COLORED BRANCH.
Special to This New York ACM:
Columbus, C. Nov. 7.—The Negroes of Columbus have been exceedingly active in making a campaign for; $5,000 towards providing a branch Y. M. C. A. for colored young men of the city. There will also be a girl's department. The white people of the city will give $12,000 for the project. The building will be located conveniently.
The local ministers, business and professional men are very active in the canvass. Among the large contributors are Wilbur E. King, Charles Hamilton, S. A. Weaver, William Moore, I. D. Huston, Dr. Woodlin, J. W. Williams, Jas, Watson, Wm. Hughes, M. E. Marchant, Robt. Payne, R. E. Barcus, G. W. Bowman, Wm. A. Burke, the Rev. I. A. Collins and the instructors and employees of the Lincoln-Ohio Industrial School, who gave $10.
A number have remarked that since Springfield, Dayton and Columbus are to have fine branch Y. M. C. A. buildings, perhaps Cleveland and Cincinnati people will wake up and take notice. Cincinnati has a fine new girl's home, which cost $8,003, leading white thieves having given substantially towards the plan.
NEW YORK, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 9. 1911.
CLEF CLUB TO-NIGHT
THURSDAY, NOV. 9. AT MANHATTAN CASINO
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FACES THIS ASSAILANT
Noted Educator Prosecutes White Ruffian Who Assaulted Him
CULPRIT IS ACQUITTED
Tammany Judges, by Vote of Two to Oni.
Set White Man Free—Negroes Ato-
sounded at Unseal Vardict.
In the decision rendered by Justice
Moss and Zeller, both Tammany judges,
who last Monday in the Court of
Special Sessions acquitted Ulrich, the white
ruffian who assaulted Dr. Booker T.
Washington without provocation on
March 19, the colored citizens of
Greater New York, regardless of politics,
have expressed the opinion that the attitude of the Tammany judges demonstrates that a Negro is no safer from maltreatment in New York than in other portions of the country. They are very skeptical since the decision on the subject that the courts of New York are fair to all persons irrespective of color.
When the case was called for trial in the Court of Special Seasons Dr. Washington appeared to prosecute Ulrich. Despite every effort of Ulrich's counsel to delay the trial, Dr. Washington has continued to press the prosecution. Monday he again appeared, although he had to cancel a series of engagements in Wisconsin and other western states.
The story of the assault was told in detail by Officers Hagan and Tierney, and a Wall street bank clerk who witnessed it, and by Dr. Washington himself. So complete and convincing was the testimony showing how Ulrich and another assailant had brutally beaten the educator that the spectators were astounded when, after Ulrich and the woman who was variously described in the story, he decided by a divided decision of two to one decided to acquit the defendant, on the ground that the proof of assault had not been clearly proven.
Dr. Wasington Had Nothing to Conceal
To prove his contention that he had nothing to conceal Dr. Washington fought the case to a finish, and is in no way cast down because the judges refused to convict the culprit who, with his alleged paramour, swore most atrociously in their efforts to fasten odium upon him. He feels he has done his full duty to his race and to himself in coming to New York to prosecute his offence, great expences and loss of time and effort. Immediately following the trial, Ulrich was arrested by New Jersey officials on a warrant for desertion sworn out by his legitimate wife, who lives in Orange, New Jersey.
Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith, who conducted the prosecution, was sentenced to his prison to secure the conviction of Ulrich; it was no fault of his that a conviction was not secured. He did his full and complete duty.
In court during the trial were Collector Chas. W, Anderson, Counselor Milford H. Smith, Counsellor James L. Curtis, F. R. Moore of the AGE, Geo. W. Harris of the Amsterdam Neus, Peter J. Smith, the Rev. Geo. H. Sims, with two friends; Mr. Scott, Dr. Washington's secretary, and a number of other colored citizens who followed the trial with interest.
Dr. Washington is in receipt of telegrams from prominent citizens of both races from all parts of the country expressing absolute confidence in him and his leadership and condemning in strong terms the unfair decision of the Court.
Colored Citizens Express Opinion.
Counselor Wilford H. Smith was quite outraged that so unjust a verdict should have been rendered on the testimony of Ulrich and his alleged paramour
Counselor James L. Curtis, who has followed the fortunes of Tammany Hall, was especially vigorous in his discussion of the great injustice done Dr. Washington by the two Tammany judges, Moss and Zeller. He said: "I am writing just a few lines expressive of my views regarding the outcome of the case of the People of the State of New York again, Henry A. Ulrich on complaint of Dr. nooker T. Washington. The charge was assault in the third degree, which is commonly called simple assault, meaning such an assault as is not calculated to take the
life or to protect, maintain, benefit injury to the one accused.
"To such a charge they can be but two defenses, which matter, nor can they justify the accused of the accused. One is an argument in that the alleged assailant was present at the assault, the allied forces were present at that the assailant preemptively on the grounds of self-defense, or for the protection of some member of the assistant's family, or for suppressing his house against an invader."
"I was pressed to bring the trial of the case in the Court of United States of the Peace of New York City and heard the witness testify, and saw their demeanor on the witness stand, and it did occur to me that the people made out a case against the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt. The fact that Ulrich struck Mr. Washington was admitted, the fact that Ulrich was the aggressor was admitted. No evidence was adduced to prove that Ulrich was called upon to defend his body or any member of his family from assault at the hands of Mr. Washington. It is therefore plain that he was not acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. There was no evidence of self-defense that Ulrich's home was invaded or that attempt was made to invade his home. It is therefore plain, that the acquittal of Ulrich could not have been on the grounds that the answer was justifiable as revolting in invade of the defendant's home. What, then, is the question that forces naturally in the lips of the average man we were upon by the majority of the court in teaching the conclusion that the defendant was not guilty. As to this I am not any more able to give an intelligent answer than the other two milestones and odd citizens of Manhattan Borovets.
"Divested to all preparations of race, politics, religion, education, or nation in life, to be free from harm, to man without harm, to cause assaults in the name of justice to an acquittal of justice? not until the grant of liberty jurisprudence is obtained, and blindfolded blinded to the symbol of American spirit until the state of the nation is replaced with a state more inert and cant of exercise."
Richmond, Va., Nov. 7.—The refusal of the United States and State courts last week to appoint a receiver to take charge of the affairs of the True Reformers has occasioned much jubilation among the members of the society from Grand Master Griffin down. The officers now assert without any hesitancy that it will not be many months before the business of the order will be in a healthy condition.
The True Reformer, the official organ of the order, speaking optimistically of the condition of the Grand Fountain, says in part:
"Out of the chaos of the past we are just beginning to see the light. To put the organization in the hands of receivers would be to cut off her revenues and thus bring disaster to thousands of Negroes scattered over the country.
"A glance at the Grand Worthy Secretary's statement * * * will convince you that we are doing well and only ask for time and all debts will be paid. The receipts vary from $500 to $1,000 daily, and claims are being paid as rapidly, as possible. It will only be a short time, if the management is let alone, before the organization will be re-established on a firmer basis than ever.
"The condition of the organization in a nut-shell is this: The new management is making a desperate effort to correct former mistakes and doing everything in its power to satisfy the creditors. Who could do more? There is not the least doubt that the order can be rehabilitated."
TEXAS A. U. B. F. REPORT.
Special to The New York Asi:
Houston, Tex., Nov. 7.—Following is the annual report of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten of Texas, submitted by Grand Secretary Gross, for the year ending August 31. Receipts—Balance from last year, $20,771.69; for widows and orphans, $52,347.75; per capita taxes, $6,887.93; home and business fund, $3,400.10; rent of office building, $2,600; reserve, $957; the sale of supplies, $689.28; the interest on deposits, $489.55; the change of policies, $87.50; total receipts for the year, $67,459.11; total amount available for the year, $88,230.70; total assets above all liabilities, $53,000.
Although Tammany saved the county by a small margin at Tuesday's election, Brooklyn did itself proud by electing the candidates on the Fusion ticket, including Van Sicklen, Busselot and Kelby on the judiciary ticket, and Crusey for district attorney. Law was also elected sheriff.
So small were the majorities of the candidates on the Tammany ticket that the managers evinced much surprise. For a time, Tuesday night it appeared as if the Fusion candidates would win in Manhattan and Bronx, and the Tammany leaders were visibly worried.
The Republicans and Fusionists carried the New York City Board of Aldermen over Tammany by a majority of seven.
Tammany elected its county ticket by plurality running from 2,699 for Corsan for the Supreme Court to 13,839 for Sullivan for Supreme Court.
courthouse plurality, for Sheriff was
four years ago the plurality of
the Court. Fusion, for Sheriff, was
in 1907 the plurality of
the Court. Foley, Tammany, for
the same office, was 25,000.
The Supreme Court Justices elected:
Francis M. Scott, Daniel F. Coulson,
Francis Key Pundetton and
Harry D. Hotchkiss. The defended
candidates were Nathan Ottinger, Ralph
Gorman, Currance J. Sheara, Independent
Counsel and Renee De Forest Baldwin.
Justice, deceased, Thomas L. Lilly, for
public.
The scandal over the nomination of William Willett, Jr., for the Supreme Court in the Second District resulted as expected, in the defeat of the Democratic judiciary ticket in Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau and Suffolk counties. In Queens Callahan led the losing ticket in the matter of votes, but all of the Fusion Judges were elected. Board of Aldermen is Republiann. In Kings ex-Police Commissioner James Cropsey, Fusion, beat John F. Clause, District Attorney of Kings by 6,802 plurality. Law, Fusion, is also elected Sheriff over Ragan, Democrat, by about 19,157 plurality.

LEE SHOWS INDEPENDENCE
Leader of Mining Colored Democracy
Collector on Board Great Hine by
Lee Lee and Lester McGinn in a
book.
In a number of the election districts
in October New York Tuesday the
presentation of Mining summers of Tammany
Hall who are leaders in their respective
discussions, working about the policy
out a sort of campaign money in their
public was presented. This state of
affairs due to a general Monday at
Tammany Hall between Chief Edward
R. Lee of the United Colored Democracy
and the Tammany Hall leaders.
Usually on the day before election
Chief Lee votes the wigwam and is
shaken out several thousand dollars with
instructions to divide the policy among
the colored leaders. When the colored
chief Lee votes the Hall Monday
he was handed $1,100, a small man
compared to what he has been getting in
the past.
Chief Lee did not hesitate to show
that he was displeased with the amount
of money given for election expenses
and he was informed that owing to
hundreds of colored voters moving to
Harlem the Tammany leaders believed,
that it was not necessary to distribute
as much money among the colored
Tammany workers as in the past, as the
Negro voters were not so widely separated.
Chief Lee was also told that
1,100 had been turned over to Robert
N. Wood, his rival.
Although Chief Lee is said to have had the money in his pocket when the dispute arose, he left Tammany Hall without a cent.

ABOUT THE LATE "POP" FRAY.
Special to The New York AoR.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 8—City Councilman Harry S. Cummings tells a story of his being "arrested" by "Pop" Fray, one of the first colored policemen, in Philadelphia, who died in that city last week.
Mr. Cummings and the late Hiram Watty were standing on the west side of Broad street, Philadelphia, witnessing the Peace Jubilee parade a dozen years ago. They wanted to cross to the east side, but the police arrange-ment to arrest such countryside that day. They told Police Fray of their troubles, and he said, "I'll 'arrest' you and take you across the street."
He grabbed the two Baltimoreans by the arms and piloted them across the street, only to let them go when the east side was reached.
That night, Messiaa, Watty and Cummings were hurt badly telling their friends that they had not been arrested, but had only wound a little subterfuge to get across Broad street.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACE
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 18—Mary has gone Republican for the first in over thirty years, and the most Digress bill, which provided for disfranchisement of thousands of groes, has also been overwhelming defeated.
Returns show that Phillips Lee Gorman borough has been elected Governor of Arthur Pue Gorman by a safe margin. The Negroes throughout the state mainly responsible for the election of Goldborough and the burying of Digress Hill Knowing that the state of Gorman of Digress measure meant much more they twinned more than ordinary in Tuesday's election and received very heavy vote.
During the campaign the auxiliary committee to the Republican State Committee, composed of Negroes, sent about in the state to teach the voters how to mark the congressional ballots which had been made by the Democrats to confuse them.
The independents and the canals made honest elections and the goal of the Wilson ballot law that the Democrats made their favorites the white "Brown" party had dorsedement of a constitutional amendment to disfranchise the Negroes in the "Grandfather's clause." The amendment voted on was far moreoving than the Poe and Straus amendments, which were defeated in previous state elections by overwhelming majorities.
Strong efforts were made in Baltimore to hold the business men's vote in line for the Democratic ticket on the ground that Democratic victory would be adding it to the long year of the Democratic National Convention.

Says the Church Must Show More Goodness.
Nashville, Tenn. Nov. 6.—During the discussion of Methodist theology in the Ecumenical Conference of Methodism held in Toronto, Can., Dr. C. V. Roman, a practicing physician, of Nashville and lay delegate from the A. M. E. Church, delivered an impromptu address, which was pronounced a clever contribution to Methodist theology and the most brilliant five-minute speech of the entire session.
He said in part:
"I have been here since the opening, and like to listen. I wish to hear testimony to what the laity in the church look for. The old question of converting the world is the same question to-day—do get those outside the church to believe and come in; to get those inside the church to live the truth and continue in the faith. Illustration is often plainer than argument.

I began thinking and began mixing up theology and medicine, the question came into my mind what we are is man on the earth anyway. Of course, as individuals and families and wives we are sufficiently conscious of our relative importance. We are like a certain prominent Texas citizen who was making a public speech to a crowd of los adherents.
"But what is it that minded in its utility? If every vestige of humanity ever except it the earth, what difference could it make?" I entered us my notebook for future cognitions. "The Theological Aspects of Engenies! I have not been able to get a single thought on the subject: Science is all description and no explanation. Science fails to explain the simplest things. Why does the robin hop and the snipie walk? Why is chalk white and charcoal black? Science deposets not a word and evades the question by declaring finalities come not within the cognition of science. First causes and final effects are scientifically ultra vires. I cannot get any meaning into life in science. Religion is the only explanation of life; and if religion explains life it will uplift men."

In spite of the inclement weather those who braved the storm spent a most enjoyable evening at whist and dancing until midnight, when a dainty collation was served. Lester A. Walton was toastmaster and in a few well-chosen words welcomed the guest of the evening and expressed auspicious wishes for his stay here and safe arrival home. Among the other speakers was W. Woodruff Chisum, who proposed a special toast in honor of Miss Mary F. Jackson of Providence, R. I., who was in New York especially for the occasion. Among those present were the Rev.

Holmes of Baltimore, who was elected president at the stormy meeting last May over the ticket headed by Prof. Kelly Miller. A complete reorganization of the association when the committee on constitution makes its report. It is expected that the matter of membership will be given much attention. The progressives in the organization wish to have the number of members which confer a degree and by men who have obtained degrees in these schools. This proposition does not include the exclusion of those who have paid membership in the organization to date. The organization is undergoing a citation by undergraduates, this group naturally being much larger than the graduate body. This matter has been thoroughly gone over among the members in Washington. While it was objected to at a former meeting, observations were raised because of a misunderstanding of the nature of the proposition. Since this has been entirely cleared up the progressive proposition is to go through without a hitch.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION
MENACED AGAIN.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, president of the Progressive Republican League, does not like the influence the Southern Republicans have in National Conventions, based upon the Republican votes they give. He thinks the apportionment of delegates unequal, and wants to hit upon a basis of equality, making a certain number of Republican votes the unit. He says the South is dominated by a Federal machine. Yes, and the machine has been used and abused from John Sherman and Russell A. Alger to the present, not for the poor black Republicans who are the machine paws, but ambitious and knavish politicians not admitted to sell them out to the highest bidder at National Conventions. The New York Sun says, in its news columns:
Senator Bourne has figured out some of the boundaries that result from the present system. He has as much voice in the convention as 10,000 Republicans in Colorado, 11,000 in New York and 448 Louisiana Republicans. Republicans get as much representation for 218 Tafts in Colorado as for 11,000 while Ohio gets no more representatives for 12,000 for her favorite one than South Carolina votes cast for Taft and Berrie.
so invites the Northern Republicans to participate in a debate on his plan of equal representation which would reduce Alabama's debt to $100 million. Florida from 12 to 5, and so on. Under the scheme the Northern States would instead have 102; the Southern States would for example, instead of 90 delegate would have 102: Ohio 48 to 69. Pennsylvania 167 to 76 and Indiana 45 to 80.
The Ace has maintained that if the rule is to be applied to representatives the convention it should also be applied to Representatives in Congress; and, as in the two theories, The Ace has maintained that the way to right a wrong is used to justify and sanctify it by confirming it in those who have perpetrated the wrong, but to correct it by prohibitive and judicial procedure, to the end that the injured citizen may have the redress which the Federal Constitution provides. "No state shall deny or bridge the right of citizens of the United States to vote on account of their color or previous condition of servitude" is mandatory in the fifteenth amendment and prohibitive of "the basis of representation shall be reduced in any state where the right to vote is denied in any of the male inhabitants of such state" in the fourteenth amendment. This election laws of every Southern state violate the letter and the spirit of the mandatory prohibition of the fifteenth amendment, the second article of which provides that "this Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation," not by reducing representation, but by disqualifying Senators and Representatives in Congress limited under election laws that "deny and abridge the right of citizens of the United States to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude."
What applies to representation in the congress applies with equal force to representation in the National Convention. The black Republican millions of the Southern States are right where they were when they walked through a host of Democratic bullets to vote for Grant and Colfax in 1868, Grant and Wilson in 1872, and Hayes and Wheeler in 1876. They have not budged an inch numbers or Republican faith, but have grown larger in the one and stronger in the other. They have had their right to vote "denied and abridged" by Democratic election laws that they had no choice in framing and no vote in accepting or rejecting. What then? Are they to have their representation in the congress and National Conventions reigned or abridged by their fellow parishes because their Democratic enemies are disfranchised them "without due reason of law"—laws they were not allowed to vote for or against. Senator James and his sort would have it that
The National Republican Committee will meet at Washington December 12 and we dare say, Senator Bourne's proposition will be urged by some allowed Progressive of the Digressives. It should be prepared to meet it, but there is no Negro member of the committee to protect our interests, as Judson W. Lynx of Georgia did, when the question was raised in the committee by Senator Marcus A. Hanna, in 1900, at the Washington meeting of the National Committee. At that time Senator Hanna survived an avalanche of telegrams from
HOW TO MAKE SEGREGATION
GOOD AND PROFITABLE
The problem of how, to make a living, and the problem of how to keep a living after it has been made are two horiz of the same dilemma which look alike in sound and are frequently, lumped together in practice, but they are not the same. Like chalk and cheese, they may look alike stated in a proposition, but they do not produce the same effect when reduced to service in a demonstration. So, to work to make a living is not the same as to work to keep a living. Some are born to make a living and some are born to keep a living—some to poverty, some to riches. It requires as much effort and intelligence to keep a living, riches, as it does to make a living, to overcome poverty, and to hold on to the riches after they have been made, after the poverty has been overcome.
It is common nowadays for people who have succeeded in making a competency, or who inherited it, to exfoli poverty as an incentive to labor, to high achievement; but we have never been able to look at it in that way. There is nothing inviting in poverty, even as a stepping stone to better things; the suffering of it, the fifth in it, will always imbitter the thought of it, however far away from it one may get, if it be impossible to forget it. But this applies to sensitive people who find themselves in an economic condition for which they are mentally and physically unfitted. Such sort will struggle even unto the end to get out of such a condition into the one they belong; and many die, wrecks, to whom their lives were a long warfare of hopeless hopes. Wherever we see such we pity them, although pity to them is as the cut of a lash. On the other hand, we see on all sides people in a social and economic condition, which they inherited or come by accidentally, for which they are mentally and physically unfitted; and, struggle as they may, they are never happy, and are always in danger of falling down into the condition where they belong, and where they can have some satisfaction in living.
But the instinct is strong in most people to better their condition, to fetch into it the improvements, the adornments, even the little luxuries, which add to the comforts, the pleasure of living. They do not move out of the old house, the old yard, but they repair them, improve them, and put into them the ideas, the principles which make for brightness, for neatness, for comfort, for happiness. The example of such a family in any given condition will inspire a whole community to spruce up, to be happy. Our newspapers are full of reports of such conditions in the Southern States, and we have seen many such ourselves, where Negroes have made settlements for themselves that are models in their way. There are such settlements at Winston-Salem, and Durham, N. C., at South Atlanta, at Taunusgee, Ala., at Mound Bayou, Miss. All over the Southern States there are such, and they are increasing and should in number. Those who have them should labor, each in his way, to make them as neat and attractive as are the settlements of the whites in the same town or city.
An important feature about these settlements is that they encourage Negroes to open stores in a small way and grow up with the settlement; when it becomes a town or city the business of it is in the hands of members of it, where it should be. White merchants are not told that they are not wanted; they are taught it by the people, who buy of their own, and thus encourage the white dealer in the most eloquent manner to go to some other place.
If the whites insist upon segregation, as they do even in New York City, let us teach them that we can make it as good and profitable for ourselves as they can make it for themselves.
New York city departments ask for $174,000,000 for 1911, and the tax rate is $17.22 per $1,000 of tax valuation. No wonder people are moving into the country.
The Honorable Cole Blease, Governor of South Carolina, belongs to the hot tamale class. As an honor to his State he is far out of sight, but loud in sound. We hear him, but we do not see him. Recently Gov. Blease blurted out the following dignified blackguardism: "If I were not in politics I would whip the newspaper editor wholied about me. If I were not man enough to do it I would get a double barreled shotgun and kill him." Think over that gubernatorial blurt! A few years ago James H. Tillman, then Lieut.-Governor of South Carolina, hot to death Editor Gonzales of the Columbia Daily State: last year Tillman, deserted by family and friends, dike a cur in a hut in North Carolina. Cole Blease may go the same way.
the electoral state of New Jersey. Woodrow Wilson should be nominated by the National Democratic Convention as the candidate for President or Vice-President, the selection of Gov. Murphy as President Taft's running mate would become a question of vital importance to the party.
Gov. Murphy is a very strong man in New Jersey. As a National Committee-man for the State he has been a strong and helpful influence in the Presidential elections of the past sixteen years, and, besides, is well and favorably known by working contact, to the Republican leaders of all the States. It is, also, no small matter in the present posture of national Republican politics, that Gov. Murphy is very generously disposed toward the Negro people. In this respect he and Ex-Gov. Edward Caspar Stokes are in a class by themselves, as is Hon. William L. Ward in New York.
If Vice-President Sherman is sidetracked, Gov. Murphy would be a very popular running mate for President Taft, not only because he is very popular with the Republican voters of New Jersey, but because he is popular with the responsible Republican leadership of all of the States, as a man well versed in the routine of public affairs, as well as a business man of unimpeachable reputation, the sort of man Garret A. Hobart was who was so popular and helpful a running mate of President McKinley in his first campaign in 1902.
But, if it should be considered of more consequence to insure the return of New York to the Republican column next year, and Vice-President Sherman should be passed over, George Bruce Cortelyou is considered by the knowing ones as the strongest and safest man in New York to replace him. Mr. Cortelyou is an uncommon man from the common people. As private secretary to Presidents Cleveland and McKinley and secretary to President Roosevelt, he displayed the same high capacity for affairs that he displayed as Postmaster-General, as Secretary of Commerce and Labor, as Secretary of the Treasury, as President Roosevelt's chairman of the National Committee, and as he has displayed as President of the Consolidated Gas Company of New York. He rose from the ranks of the people by faithfulness in small things to be a captain of the Republican hosts he led to victory by faithfulness in great things. As a candidate he would rally to the standard the toilers up from the bottom and the captains at the top of our vast nationality that works as a wheel in a wheel.
The Vice-Presidency used to be regarded as negligible, to be bestowed to placate this faction or that; or to side-track an ambition more hard to control; but the death of Lincoln and the accession of Andrew Johnson, the death of Garfield and the accession of Arthur, and the death of McKailey and the accession of Roosevelt demonstrated that as much wisdom should be displayed in selecting the Vice-Presidential as the Presidential candidate.
The Age desires that the best, strongest and safest Presidential ticket shall be nominated by the Republican party, because we desire that the Republican party shall continue to rule the nation in the White House and shape the legislation of the nation in the Federal Senate. It will be best for the nation, best for the Negro.
THE STORY OF A HEADLINE
The story under the head-line in a newspaper does not always indicate what is in the body beneath it. Whenever this contradiction appears, when the head and body are in conflict, when there is difference between them, it means death to the body as well as the head of an article in a newspaper, or a skyscraper in the block, or a man on his feet.
The Columbia (S. C.) Southern Plowman, however, of recent date, contains three editorial articles under separate headings that make a story without a body, as they tell the story standing one above the other. Here follow the headlines:
1. "Scarcity of Farm Laborers Gather Crops."
2. "Running Revival Meetings Where crops are Wasting in Fields."
3. "Too Many Fairs Among Colo-people."
And yet there is plenty of idle land, South Carolina, while the Plains says, "much cotton is wasting in fields," "white and colored farmers" are unable to get laborers to gather soul saving, we admit, is the high session of man," it says, "and evens to that end should be apt us to be religious when crops are ing in the fields by devoting all of one to revival meetings, is the chief loafs in the sunshine and star the shade or which gets separated from his people in the chaining calling from the trifty neighbor "Plowman reads the following wise notion to the misguided revivalists. The Ditthee consensus is that we cannot have a man to extravagant and rob himself of the
There are plenty of people in New York who throw away golden opportunities, not only by attending revivals when they should be at work, but by attending balls and receptions, dance halls and card parties, far into the morning-hours when they should be at home asleep, preparing for the work of the day before them. The delusion that a person can spend most of the night in following "the pace that kills" and, going from the revelry to the work place, do an honest day's work, has cost many a man a good job which led to the wreck of his life.
DEMOCRATIC HESSIANS
The loud cry for "sanity in politics" comes from those who in time past most industriously sowed the seed of insanity—those who winked at and condoned class legislation and mob and lynch law in the Southern States; those who set capital and labor by the ears in the Northern and Western States; those, scattered over the entire Republic, who have clamored for new forms of administration in all directions, for civil service laws and regulations, for primary laws, for new-founded election laws, for direct vote of everything, for recall of everything, for bedlam in the conduct of public affairs.
The Democratic Hessians, from William Jennings Bryan to Woodrow Wilson, in 1896 to 1911, and from John B. Gordon to Benjamin Ryan Tillman, in 1868 to 1876, have sown to the rabble, and, now, the Deluge of Political Confusion I Reforms are necessary, because what suffices for one generation may be inadequate for another, but radical innovations which amount to revolution are not reforms; they are the madness, the reaction from time honored systems, such reactions as destroyed Carthage, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome. It is better to go back to first principles than to rush madly into new ones.
Our economic system needs readjustment, but we do not need to overturn the foundations of the Constitution as amended to accomplish it.
WAS ONCE A DEMOCRAT
R. W. Thompson, who holds down a $900 messengership in Washington, is greatly concerned about who will manage the campaign a year hence. Mr. Thompson, who is in the classified service, will perhaps not be allowed to write political stuff and hold his job in the Government service. This man Thompson must not forget that the people have not forgotten that he went to Washington, on his first appointment, as a Negro Democrat, and if the Democrats should happen to win next year he perhaps would get back into that party over night. Men like him who live in glass houses should be careful. People don't regard him near as big as he regards himself. If Bre'r Thompson don't keep quiet we will have to call his attention to the 55th chapter of Psalms and 20th verse.
EDITORIAL NOTES
In his St. Paul address President Taft said "the college yell is barbaric." Perhaps. At what time the college boy ceases to be a barbarian the President did not say, but not sooner than the street urchin from which he is descended.
The President has set apart November 30 as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer. The price of poultry even at this remove does not put the meat eat in a thanksgiving or prayerful frame of mind. There is much to be thankful for, but, like the needle in the haystack, it is hard to find.

John Stewart Kennedy of New York left an estate valued at $67,137,735, and by the terms of his will Tuskegee Institute and Hampton Institute each get $100,000, which should yield $5,000 per annum of income. The endowment fund of Tuskegee Institute is growing rapidly, and in a few years more should equal $5,000,000; that would net an income of $250,000 per annum, which the Institute needs for operating expenses. Hampton's endowment also grows space.
Mayor Shank of Indianapolis has seen so successful in lowering the retail price of potatoes and pears, buying them at wholesale and selling them at retail at about half what the middlemen charge, that he may now go in for breaking the retail price of meat.

Wanamaker of New York and Philadelphia is a great merchant prince; he is more than that, he is a great American citizen. October 28, 13,000 of Mr. Wanamaker's employees celebrated his fifty years in active and continuous business. The employees came from all parts of the world to attend the celebration. Mr. Wanamaker has always shown a kindly and helpful feeling towards the Negro people, not in a philanthropic way only, but in a practical way, as thousands of Negroes have had employment of him in his Philadelphia stores.
We are interested in the suit to dissolve the United States Steel Corporation mainly because of the Negro institutions which hold gifts from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, mostly in bonds of the Steel Corporation, and income from those bonds. The value of those gifts will be determined by the Government's suit, as their income value has already been affected. There are thirty-seven corporation defendants in the Trust, whose capitalization, the Government contends, was not less than $600,000,000 in excess of the value of the properties. The contention set up by the Government is that the United States Steel Corporation conflicts in its incorporation and operation with "an act to protect the trade and commerce against unlawful restraint and monopoly." President Taft insists that the Sherman Anti-Trust law must be enforced, and it looks as if he means what he insists. Anyhow, the big corporations that come within the scope of the law are putting themselves in shape against the time when the Government shall command them to "show cause."
It is hard to believe that any good thing can come out of whiskey. The dead water and the live spirit of it have killed more people, destroyed more property and happiness, than an army with banners or machine guns. And yet, down in Georgia, at Washington, whiskey saved a Negro from being lynched and burned. It happened this way: A white merchant named Hollenhead had trouble with the wife of Walker, and in the mix-up the black man killed the white man, which was a surprise to the white man. The sheriff captured Walker, but he was overpowered by fifty of Washington's best white citizens—best I—who started for the outskirts of the city. The fifty had plenty of whiskey and drank freely'of it on the way. A rope was put around the black man's neck, but the white men were all too drunk to pull him up, and fell to the ground in the effort, which was a surprise to them. Walker took in the situation, which was a surprise to him, and made his escape, which was no surprise to the Good which came out of the whiskey. When the good black man and the bad white man mix up about the good black man's wife and the bad white man gets killed—that is a surprise.
Is the Yankee race dying out? After looking over the last State census, Prof. Sprague of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, thinks so. He thinks it is due to indoor life; but it is not. It is due to the fact that the foreign immigrant, during the past forty years, has run the Yankee out. Like the scattered scholarship of Rome in the Middle Ages, the Yankee scholarship and character have, since the war, scattered themselves all over the country, leaving the hungry foreigner to fight it out with the spirit of "The Scarlet Woman" of Hawthorne and the Witch of Endor. Statistics will soon begin to show that the precious Cavalier of the Southern States is going the same way, driven out by the foreigner, but scattering as he goes, not scholarship, but the Black Death of mob law and race prejudice, the foul spirit of the bloodhound and the rattlesnake that poison and devour as he of them goes. The good spirit of Yankee scholarship and character may neutralize the foul spirit of the Cavalier bloodhound and rattlesnake, as, scattered, they gather, as in Kansas and Texas, and in Oklahoma and New Mexico after the Slaveholders' Rebellion. They asked for peace, but they get the whisky bottle and the lyncher's rope for reply.

Publicity of accounts is the cry of to-day. There was a time when public officials were not called to account as now. Forty years ago, but for some reasons, it was not a detailed accounting of public funda. But so many, officials have become corrupt, have misused money, have lived in luxury; out of the poor people's money, the rich have been accounting. In this state this is, truer to-day than ever, and some sad, bad, revelations have been made. Millions of dollars were stolen in the billfolding of the accounts of several prominent men. An accounting sent several Pittsburgh councilmen to prison, and an accounting now going on on affairs in this city seems to show that the millions of dollars have been misapplied.
People are therefore demanding that thorough accounts be made. They ask not only what have been the gross receipts, but the itemised and the gross expenditures, but the itemised expenditures, and only by getting each item can they tell whether their servant is dealing fair with them. It is gratifying to see how many publicities have been. This is not only a protection to the treasurer, but relieves the suspicions of the people. If Philadelphia had published all the details of expenditure, there would not be the present threat of imprisonment on account of the people's money—Christian Recorder.
REV. NORWOOD ANSWERS DR. LYON
To the Editor of The Age:
There appeared in 'The New York Age last month an editorial under the heading of "300,000 Disaffected Church People," suggested by a pamphlet furished you by Dr. Ernest Lepetit, exminister to Liberia, and the present pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md. Dr. Lyon is my brother in church and conference, and also I am a pastor who regret being personal, conscious and cross in my disposition, custom and training in replying to him, but in order to answer him, I am forced to be a prejudice is everywhere, is the greatest sin of the age. True, it is in both Church and State, the oldest, the controlling and the greatest organizations in the world, but now we come to the parting of the ways. We disagree with him in his treatment of this monster, race prejudice. Apparently, he treats women differently than men, usually we kill smokes wherever found, and there is always a cause for an exception. Race prejudice should be treated in the same way. One failing so, has a special cause for so doing.
We claim that the doctor is guilty of inconsistency in dealing with this race prejudice in Church and State. In the presence of two objects that we are absolutely opposed to, we would be unable to decide which one we would strike first and hardest. In the presence of two, one of which we absolutely prefe, ed, we would have no basaltancy in making a selection. There is no opposition to the objects would be并向 the old men, but upon our attitude toward those objects. The doctor has two different attitudes toward race prejudice, one attitude for it in the State, and another attitude for it in the Church. In the State, in Maryland, he fights it, is fighting it now in this political campaign. In the Church, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, he runs from it, and is using his influence to have others do the same. Why this difference in treating it? Why is he so earnest in trying to kill it in the State, in Maryland, and so willing to let it live in his own Church? Why has such an enlightened attitude toward it in Maryland, while assuming a let-alone attitude.
If in the presence of his own Church and in the presence of the race prejudice of his Church he does nothing for the Church, he has no preference for either; it for either one he acts at all it shows that one influences more than the other in some way. His proposition is leave the Church and leave the prejudice uninterrupted, and the times of it, and our friends see and feel the greatest need of putting our strongest efforts against it, he advises running from it. Unless the doctor advises us to leave the State more than he does love the Church, decide that he loves Maryland more than he loves the Methodist Episcopal Church; that he hates race prejudice less than he does his Church. Where shall we go to get away from it? She is the most dangerous place for it to remain in. By all means we should get it out of there, and get it out of there first. In the face of all this prejudice, we shall let us leave the Church, our Church. He discriminates between the Church and State, between race prejudice in the Church and race prejudice in the State, between his less interested in the Church than he is less interested in his own Church than he is in his own State, less interested in his own Church than he is in race prejudice. In giving his own Church to us, all we will see he is in fighting the Church we will say he is fighting the Church.
This inference is borne out by facts independent of it. Some time ago the two occupants of the church posited in the church, and failed to the inference. Then he sought a conference job, but his coveted went to some one else. The failure in securing these coveted jobs led to his agitation. Since then he has been fighting those who did secure them and his Church also. He is disgruntled, and especially he can hear the agitation in his Church on his own behalf in all variableness on all questions absolutely unqualifies him, and the general knowledge of his being a variable institution substantiate this statement. In his own conference he has had five with him, three of whom have long left him, and he is doubtful about the cessionist, then an autonomist, that

B. H. NORWOOD
OOKER T. WASHINGTON IN TEXAS
By Dr. J. B. Crannill, late Prohibition Candidate for President of the United States. In the Baptist Standard, Dallas, Texas.
Booker T. Washington is the greatest Negro in the world. Recently he made a tour of Texas, speaking in the principal cities. He was greeted everywhere, by vast audiences, made up of about two-thirds Negroes and one-third white people. We present when he spoke here in Dallas, and I do not hesitate to say that his address was of the most sensible, pointed, practical and eloquent speeches that it has ever been my pleasure to hear.
I have listened to many of the great orators of our time. Among these I recall Henry Ward Beecher, John McNeill, George H. Carroll, John B. Broadman, C. B. Carroll, J. B. H. Jones, George W. W. Reuttl, Sam Jones, F. B. Meyer, P. S. Henson and W. J. Bryan. I have heard both Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt, but Cleveland was not an orator, nor is Roosevelt. As practical, pungent and convincing speakers they book ex-called, but I would not class either of them with the great orators. I have mentioned.
All things considered, Booker T. Washington's address was the equal of any I have ever heard. The soul of oratorian philosophy is his audience. Not only is this true, but that man is a great orator who, knowing the character and temper of his audience, projects his speech so that it will accomplish purpose. His orator is judged by rational standards. Booker T. Washington's oration claused with the eloquent sermons, speeches and appeals that I have heard from the illustrious and statesmen that have been named. The chief point in his address was the right relation between the races and with an intuitive inclusiveness he has developed in racial prejudices and predelictions with a defiance and a delicacy as sublimated as that of Paganiini when in the floodtide of his greatness and disgrace he confronted his violin as though it were the fabled harp of a thousand strings.
No one who is familiar with present day conditions in the United States doubts that within the past decade the African-American drifted farther than they were a score of years ago. A generation of Negroes has come upon the scene who knew not Joseph, who never knew what slavery was, and who never felt the kindly influence of the Christian slaveholder, and thus learned to love the whites there has grown. The African-American some of the blacks against the white people that bodies no good for either race. While all of this is true, the new generation of African-American grown away from the love of the uncles and aunts of the Negro race that was sallent in the ante-bellum days. All of this needs to be conserved by tolerant statesmanship on the part of both races.
Booker T. Washington wisely said that the Negro was in the South to stay. All of the Utopian schemes that have been suggested for his expatriation have been sidelined in the light of the real and fundamental issues that are involved. The Negros are not going to leave the South, and certainly the white people are going to stay. Washington made humiliating and angry outlines of the race in which they would not only be welcomed by the white race as permanent inhabitants, but reflect credit upon themselves and honor upon their native land. To this end he accentuated the importance of all-round, useful, industrious and property-owning citizen of himself, and thus becoming identified with the civic and industrial life of his State and time. I have never heard a more accurate description of idleness and crime than Washington's speech contained. He told the Negroes that it was their solemn duty to exterminate the idle, loafing and criminal classes from among them, and to stand with the white people and all other races in a campaign for moral, civic and religious advancement.
I wish that Washington could speak to all the whites and all the blacks of all the South. I go further—I wish he could speak to all the people of our country. I wish he could speak to all the whites even now there is greater tolerance for the Negro in the South than in the North. Recently in a Pennsylvania town a man was elected to office on the Republican ticket chiefly on the ground that he allowed a Negro to be a member of the party. He bears fought against Mason and Dixon's line, but there is now no line across this continent, on either side of which a Negro is better off than on the other side. If this fact shall permeate the minds of statesmen throughout our country it will cause an arrest of thought on the will of the constitution that will be wholesome indeed.
Booker Washington did not, but I charge it upon the white men of the South that their neglect of their Negro neighbor is a crime unspeakable, and this situation upon this vital question is largely responsible for the present strained relations between the races that is seen in so many sections. All over Texas there are black men who have bored because they did not vote for prohibition, but their failure to do so was largely due to the unwishness and indifference of the white men, who locally and in the State at large, uttered their objection to them to be voted like drunk drivers cattle by their most malignant enemies. When we have another prohibition election, I trust those who are chosen for the campaign will have a care for this issue, and, as a matter of time, we should be expending our energies in such a way as to educate the Negroes to the gravity and importance of this transcendent issue so they will be prepared to cast their ballots right when the next election comes.
I shall always be glad that I heard Booker T. Washington's address. If I should would take pleasure in giving to your heart the advice he said. Suffice it to say that this greatest of all Negroes is a man to be trusted by both the whites and the blacks, to be sent to the dom for such a time, and is the apostle of peace, industry, progress and advancement to the people of his race. He is destined to perform a task still conduce to the commercial, moral and spiritual uplift of all the people.
public and domestic industries, sell them the land and the industries and manufactures the growing sentiment in that district by the Southern people, give reason to believe that in a few years will have a great many foreigners various nationalities in the South to the work, buy the lands and build industries and manufactories. If find the Negroes in the South, the growth of our civilization the future will be restricted for genius to come; but if we can persevere our moneyed people to join in the in buying small farm lands, in being people to diversify their pro-cess, to build industries and manufactures and to manufacture their pro-cess from the clay, the farm and the land, with which we can have access the markets of the world, we will be an independent foundation and build up our business and professional interest as well as other people, the coming of the foreigners will be blessing as consumers, if a bless- at all.
Real Inviting Field for Investment
The farming lands all over the South,
especially in Alabama, offer one
the best holds of investment in the
country. Lands can be bought from
to $125 per acre all over the State.
These lands are increasing in valuation
much. Lands that were sold from
move to six months ago from $7 to
per acre in many cases are now
all the way from $20 to $40 and
per acre. In the most cases these
lands are offered only in large quanti-
from five hundred to ten thousand
which, as individuals, the col-
people are not able to reach. The
need of the Negro race is that
moneyed men among them will in-
their money in this channel where
they cannot only make some of the
latest returns on their money but at
the same time help to establish an in-
dependent civilization for the Negro people.
The moneyed Negro can safely follow the Northern capitalists in this direction, who have spent hundreds of millions in the lands of the South. Very recently in our State there has been large quantities of farm lands bought by Northern capitalists. In one case thirty-one thousand acres at $27 acre, and it seems that these opportunities to make money and to help the race should appeal to every man from God has blessed with means. The Alabama Penny Savings Bank is offering itself as a channel through which these men of means may operate in this profitable and laudable enterprise. The bank is under a pledge to arrest a large amount of its incoming capital stock in buying these lands and putting them up in small farms and selling them to our people, and therefore we make an urgent appeal to our moneyed people throughout the country to reach these profitable investments by buying our stock, on which they will earn a solendid dividend.

DEMOCRATS APPPOINT NEGRO.
H. Godman Named Special Counsel by Democratic Attorney-General of Ohio.
Guide to THE NEW YORK ACM
Columbus, O., Nov. 7—L. H. Godman, colored, an attorney, has been appointed special counsel in the office of Attorney General Hogan. The appointment was announced by General Hogan Tuesday.
Mr. Godman is the first Negro attorney to be appointed to a legal position the department.
He is a graduate of Howard University Law School and a former student Ohio State University.
As Attorney General Hogan is a Democratic official and the right hand man Governor Harmon, the appointment is political significance and indicates that Governor Harmon in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination is out to capture the colored vote, and thus early begins to placate the colored vote. Mr. Godman is now and has been a Republican voter and worker, but it is expected, now that he has been appointed by a Democrat, that he will become a convert to Democracy and to Harmonism. The appointment is occasioned much speculation in political circles of Ohio, though, fortunately, there have been no protests against

They simply say that they are shipping those who desire to learn technical things. Those who are trained in Lincoln School experience no difficulty in obtaining employment, and their efficiency commands excellent remuneration. Nearly two hundred students were enrolled last year and six instructors are employed. The tuition is free, and a much larger enrollment is exerted this year. The apron department one of the practical sides of the work, where over one thousand aprons are made each week by young women power machines. Two or three new classes will be opened soon, among them an automobile department.

THOUSANDS OF NEGRO DOLL$
Progressive Company at Nashville Now Ready to Fill All Orders for the Holiday Trade.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 6.—Close investigation this week developed the fact that the National Negro Doll Company, which has been doing business here for three years under the presidency of Dr. R. H. Boyd, and the management of Henry A. Boyd, has sent out a carload of dolls to various wholesale dealers. The company now has thousands of these toys at their Nashville headquarters, which guarantees that they are fully prepared to fill all orders that may come by mail or otherwise, getting them out to their patrons within twelve hours after receipt of the order.
The manager, Henry A. Boyd, has just returned to the office after an extended tour through Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, West Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, reporting a greater outlook for the doll trade this year, and that everywhere he has heard nothing, but the most favorable comment. The people have decided that "Negro dolls for Negro children" is the right thing. Hundreds of churches are now contemplating doll bazaars to be held during the months of November and December, using the Negro doll from the National Negro Doll Company.
LITERARY SCOUT HOLDS MEETING.
Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 6—The Literary Scout, an organization devoted to the interest of Tuskegee graduates, had its first meeting for the year on October 14, in Dorothy Hall. Edward L. Snyder, Steward Boarding Department, Tuskegee Institute, read the paper of the evening, "The Problem of Feeding a Boarding School," Mr. Snyder very ably discussed this important subject. He spoke in part as follows: "The problem is one of general interest and concerns every individual either as a consumer of food or as a purchaser of food supplies. The problem of feeding in the home is the one question which perplexes the housewife more than any other connected with domestic life. Every boarding school should have truck farming as there is no class of food which contributes more to the solution of the problem as do fresh vegetables, and at the same time so satisfying and healthful.
"In most cases the boarding school has to look to the general public for its support and as a natural result must take care of its students at the least cost possible. An institution having for its use from six to twelve vegetables and facilities for handling them, has not much of a problem, other things being equal. The average institution can can enough vegetables and fruits in the spring and summer to supply the tables in the fall with wholesome food. In handling canned goods the greatest care must be exercised as the slightest error may cause serious illness in the whole student body.
"The institutions of the future must feed better as the people of to-day demand more than they did ten or twenty years ago. The boarding schools can meet this demand if they plan to feed largely vegetables."
As a striking illustration of the nutriment of vegetables Mr. Snyder said that O. P. Kinsey, who is in charge of the boarding department of Valparaiso University, for nearly half a century, stated to him on one occasion that he never planned to serve meat more than eight times a week.
Mr. Snyder's paper was exceptionally well written and elicited general approval from all present. It was one of the most interesting papers that has been read during the series of meetings. Questions were asked the speaker after the reading of the paper and many interesting points were brought out, though at times the interrogators differed from the views of the speaker.
President Neely called for the yearly report of the secretary. Arthur P. Mack, after which the election of officers was taken up. As an evidence of their worth and ability all the old officers were re-elected with the exception of Miss Bessie Calloway as a member

The aggregation will be headed by J. Leubrie Hill, who was the leading comedian last season and who attracted favorable attention as a funmaker. The company will start rehearsals November 27. Mr. Hill says, that the show is being taken out, this season because of the

"Darky Daffodila."
Harry Kraton of the Kratons, is developing into a humorist, which can be judged by the following effusions from pen, which he calls "Darky Daffodils." 1. Just because John Rucker is "white" would that make Harry Brown or Perry Black? 2. If Feldman's pants cost $5 a pair what would you pay for Sherman Coates? 3. Just because Mrs. Melntosh is over 105 pounds in weight, does that make Aida Overton? 4. If Lawrence Deas would get a contract for Hammerstein's would he let Harry Reed? 5. If the show business would get real bad and Tricolore Fannie could not get any work, would Amy Cook? 6. I remember one day Will Cook got mad and gave Abbie Mitchell 7. I have a friend named Veralen. I call him V. for short. I heard he had joined The Frogs. Goe, but I was surprised to C. V. B. A. Frog!

Sweatman, Minnie Brown, Ledman and Somers, Hunter and Chappelle, Cubanola Trio, Ernest Lawson, Restus Brown and Taylor, Selma Lawrence, Harris and Smith, Golden Gate Trio, Williams and Brown, Sterling and Ada-Rex, Fred Jennings, the Whitman Sisters, the Prampins, Mabel Whitman and Picks, Mme. Fowler, the Mitchells, May and May, Thornton and Long, Leon Long, Porter and Porter, Albert Bowers and Patterson and Percell.
Levy's Arrest Surprises Theatre Managers.
The arrest of Harry A. Levy, assistant manager of the Lytic Theatre, on October 30 for denying Louis F. Raldwin the right to occupy seats in the orchestra of theatre, although he posed tickets, has created no little confusion along Broadway, as Levy's arrest was first regarded as a joke.
When the case was called for trial, November 2, in the Seventh District Magistrate's Court before Magistrate Charley W. Appleton, the plaintiff being represented by Mr. McDougall of the District Attorney's office, Levy apparently thought that he would be charged. His lawyer frankly said he did not expect the District Attorney's office to be interested in so "trivial a matter." Both Levy and his lawyer came to their senses, however, when Levy was held for trial on a criminal charge. Levy and his host of friends representing the theatre trial were simply bewildered.
Even a civil action heretofore has
addition been brought, and the idea of
microfilm of a criminal nature was
quite too much. So lightly did Levy and his friends consider the matter that they thought it unnecessary to bring their bondsman to court. No great promise can be held out for Levi's conviction, for there will be no jury, but three judges will hear and determine the case, according to the custom in Special Sessions.
A conviction will, therefore, depend largely upon the attitude of the judges. Conviction or not, the wide circulation in the press that a white man has been held on a criminal charge for discrimination against a man by reason of his color will inspire a more wholesome respect for colored patrons of New York theatres. In taking up this matter Mr. Whitman has shown that he is the District Attorney of all the people. In assigning his colored assistant to the case he showed every evidence of good faith, for he knew Mr. McDougald had both the ability and the disposition to push the matter to the bitter end.
The colored people of New York have nothing but praise for Mr. Whitman and Mr. McDougald for striving to give to every citizen, irrespective of race or color, the equal protection of the law.

SOUTHERN SMART SET CO.
The Southern Smart Set Company made a decided hit in New Orleans, playing to capacity nearly every night. It was the consensus of opinion that The Mayor of Newtown is the best show the President City. The impact of the company were sumptuously entertained, numerous balls and receptives being given. The most notable event was the smoker tendered to S. Tutt Whitney, Honore Tutt and the male members of the company by the Impromptu Club, one of the most select colored clubs in the country. It has entertained the President of the United States and most of the foremost Nationals. The club's membership includes men in music, a few of whom are Ion A. S. Johnson, collector of playing, Walter Colton, J. Madison Vance and Col. Jas Lewis, Jas Lewis, Jr. is president, and Edward Harris is secretary.
BLACK PATTI CO.
Ethiel Glenn, wife of "Happy" Julius, joined us in Kansas City, Mo, which adds greatly to the appearance and power of a now well-known chorus. Min. Jones is singing with great success the "Quarter from Rigotto" assisted by Charles Bonna, tenor; Jennifer Cooke, alto, and John Phillips, baritone.
Much credit must be given "Happy" Julius Glenn for the manner in which he is handling the principal comedy role. His many "well-wishers" who predicted a "frost" for him have been greatly surprised to learn that he has developed into one of our greatest present-day comedians. His pronounced laughs put on once more the fact that in many of our picture houses and small-time vaudeville acts one can find much buried theater which, with the proper handling, might prove fitting successors to the later triumvirate —Walker, Cole and Hogan.
While in St. Louis the members of the company were highly entertained at the Dumbo Republican Club, which is conducted by Tom Turpin, a former minstrel man.
The press is giving special notice of our strong soprano section, which includes Jeannette Cooke, Johnnie Lividston, Ada Douglas, Estelle Cash Willett, Howell, Marle Green and Ethel Glenn.
Little Sequin Bledseaux sends regards to all friends in and out of the profession. Z. B.
SMART SET COMPANY.
"Dr. Beans From Boston" is drawing large audiences in Providence this weeks. While at the Grand Opera House, Boston, the home of the doctor, last week, the company scored heavily. Each performance was played to capacity, and the papers spoke in glowing terms of Mr. Dudley's work. Henry Troy, who wrote the show with Mr. Dudley, is very much played with its success. Wherever he since he leaves "many pleasant memories." Jim Burris is a great favorite in Boston as was shown by the reception he received at each performance. Jennie B Hillman was royally entertained during her stay in Boston by Mrs. Marion Smart Moore, of Dayton, and her sister, Mrs. Crawford, of Boston. A dinner was given in honor of Jennie Hillman and Ida Blu or last Saturday. George Smith and wife came in possession of a fine Boston bull called "Trape." The Boston papers claim that the male chorus of the company stands out

Moore in addresses; C. Carroll Clark, who sang "Big Red Shawl"; a violin solo by Henry Harding and an anthem by the St. James' Choir.

Lloyd Resigns as Manager and Captain
John H. Lloyd, the heavy-hitting shortstop of the Lincoln Giants, has sent in his resignation as manager and captain of the team, to Rod McMahon. He asserts that he has resigned his two positions with the Lincoln Giants because some of his teammates did not give him the proper support as head. In a letter to The Age, Lloyd gives out the following statement:
"I have resigned as manager and captain of the Lincoln Giants because the players have not shown the right spirit toward me since I was appointed manager, and rather than force a fellow player to do his best I have decided to give up my positions. There are some players who believe in doing their best for any man they are under while there are others who do not even mean themselves any good. I never expect to be at the head of another team as long as I am in baseball, regardless of what kind of salary is offered me. While I have not set up any other mark for other players to shoot at I have had to fill in such a position. As a player I expect to be with the Lincoln Giants next season or with some other good colored club."

Chicago, Ill. Nov. 6—The colored people of Chicago were not one whit bound in joining in the chorus of good will to President Tafe during his recent visit here. It may be said that they participated, in a representative way, more largely in the welcome to President Taft than on any other previous occasion of this kind. At the first public meeting, arranged by the Hamilton Club to greet and welcome the President, at the First Regiment Armory, Hon. Edward Green, Col. John R. Mullan, A. H. Roberts, S. Ling Williams, Assistant U. S. District Attorney, and W. H. Neighbors and Carey Lewis occupied conspicuous places on the platform and with many other prominent colored people in the audience joined in the enthusiastic welcome accorded the distinguished President.
At the banquet tendered the President by the Bar Association S. Laing Williams had the honor of being one of the invited guests. In fact the President seemed to inject into every occasion a genuine spirit of fellowship broad enough to include all the elements of this strongly cosmopolitan center. The climax in interest for the colored people was the monster meeting, arranged by the Y. M. C. A. leaders, at Quinn Chapel, on Sunday afternoon. This was exclusively a men's meeting at which the President was invited to speak a word of good cheer and encouragement in the interest of the white and colored men who are generously committed to this splendid endeavor.
Never in the history of Chicago has there been a meeting like it in interest and enthusiasm. The 2500 colored men who filled every nook and corner of this historic edifice kept up a continuous uproar of cheers, songs and hand-clappings. Those who witnessed this demonstration could scarcely believe that it was possible to bring together under one roof such a splendid gatherer of colored men.
On the platform were seated several millionaires, including C. McCormick, Julius Rosenwald, Banker Harris, Judges of the Supreme, Circuit and Municipal Courts, prominent politicians and other men, both white and colored, in the higher walks of life. When President Taft was escorted to the platform he was greeted with a spontaneous enthusiasm that fairly shook the rafters of the historic old church. This meeting was simply amazing to many of the prominent citizens of Chicago, who, unfortunately, seldom have an opportunity to see colored people at their best. The President's address was one of encouragement to the men who are working so hard to realize the establishment of this branch of the Y. M. C. A. and the association building. There was not a single note of concession in his stirring words of good cheer and congratulations.
The honor of introducing the President to the audience was accorded to Adelbert H. Roberts, of this city, an author of more than local fame. His remarks were in every way admirable, in good taste and evidently pleased the President, who earnestly congratulated him. Other addresses were made by the Rev. Mr. Callis, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and Dr. Braddon, of the Berean Baptist Church.
"It may be truthfully said that in point of interest, enthusiasm and fellowship, it was the most important meeting ever held in the city of Chicago.
Dr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Hall gave a delightful reception in honor of L. Benjamin, of Boston, Monday evening, October 30, in their beautiful home on Wabash avenue. Among those present were Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Watkins, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Mosely and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Jackson and family, Mrs. L. W. Cummings, Mrs. Ella Martin, Mr. and Mrs. S. Laing Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Leary, Prof. R. T. Greener, Mr. Enbanks, of Cleveland O. ; Mrs. Zoe Young, Dr. H. F. Garnett, of Evanson; Wm. Harsh, Geo. Arthur, Dr. Mercer, Dr. Bryant, Dr. Kennebru, of Jacksonville, Ind.; Alfred Anderson, F. Wispeland and Mrs. Alicia D. Anderson, Maj. F. Dennison, the Misses Essie Arnold, Vivian Harsh, Ada Lou Mitchell, Bertha Young, Miss Stubbs, of Boston, and Genervie Willson.
The Hallowe'en season was artistically, carried out in table decorations and in the dainty and becoming caps worn by the charming young lady guests who assisted in the dining room.
NEGROES WANT POST OFFICE.
Special to The New York Apt:
Thomasville, Ark., Nov. 7.—The Negroes of this village have forwarded a petition, through Auditor R. W. Tyler, at Washington, to the Postmaster General, petitioning for the establishment of a postoffice here. Thomasville contains more than 250 families; that is, families to this number reside in and within a radius of three miles of the town, and this is the nearest railroad station for them. The nearest towns to Thomasville are Moro, five miles to the northwest, and Aubrey, four miles to the southeast. This village is on the Missouri and North Arkansas Railway, and bies just thirty miles northwest of Helena. Will H. Lane, principal of the schools, is the prime mover in the effort to have a postoffice established for the more than 250 families of this community. It is largely a Negro settlement, and it is hoped to some day have the town rival Mound Bayou for thrift and population.

The Mayor was profuse in his praise of the church, having studied its history from the building, at a cost of $2,000, from the present time, with only a balance of $6,000 remaining, which they are in hopes of paying off soon. He congratulated the members personally in behalf of the city for the progress they were making and stated that he hoped to be favored again by an invocation at the burning of the more memorable of a crusade within
