VOL. XXV. No. 7. PRESS COMMENT ON ULRICH CASE Negro Papers Declare That Decision Was Unjust and Prejudicial EXPRESS CONFIDENCE Colored Editors Throughout the Country Renew Allegiance to Washington as Race Leader MUST GET CLOSER TOGETHER Unfair Decision of Courts Prompts Newspapers to Declare for Race Unity - Race Prejudice in Courth. In commenting on the decision of the Tammany judges in acquitting Ulrich of the charge of assaulting Dr. Booker T. Washington, the leading colored papers of the United States are unanimous in denouncing what they term "an unjust and prejudicial decision," and take up much space in renewing allegiance to the leader of the race; whose character is declared to be above reproach, and whose usefulness to the race and to humanity is referred to in glowing terms. All of the papers scoff at the American conception of justice in the courts, no far as the Negro is concerned when a white person is one of the principals in a suit for adjudication, and the question is asked if it is possible for the white man to forget his prejudices in the courts of the United States when a Negro is either plaintiff or defendant. With the exception of the Boston "Mudcow," also known as the "Colored Police Gaette," which has a reputation for availibility and insipid vapors, and whose ability access to have more knowledge of the Negro papers sound the keynote that the members of the race get closer together, basing their arguments on the appraisal of Ulrich. The Negro press comments on the Ulrich acquittal as follows: (Chicago Defender.) The peculiar ideas of justice in the case of Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York and in the Nelson case in Chicago has set the serious minded to wondering as to what is really meant by the term, "preponderance of evidence." (St. Louis Central Afro-American.) The acquittal of Ulrich in the New York Court of Special Sessions, on a charge of feloniously assaulting Dr. Washington, shows that prejudice is no respector of persons, when those persons are Negroes. (Cleveland Journal.) Henry A. Ulrich, who assaulted Dr. Booker T. Washington last March in New York City, was acquitted of the charge of assault last Monday in the Court of Special Sessions. We regret exceedingly that Ulrich did not get a severe sentence for this most cowardly and brutal assault. But while this unexpected verdict may temporary embarrass Mr. Washington he still is the most noted Negro in the world. His private life has been too clean-for a quarter of a century to be unsuillemied—his unseemless labors in behalf of the people with whom his life cast off too pure to permit this incident—framed up by blackmailers to ruin his reputation—losen in the slightest degree his great influence for the good of his people. And when those who have tried to destroy his character and interrupt his usefulness shall have been forgotten, Booker T. Washington will still be remembered by millions of his race. (Chicago Idea.) Dr. Washington has had a clear record, his actions at all times have been above criticism. His character is above reproach and his friends and admirers; those without prejudice will agree that the whole affair a flasco. He did his race a service in prosecuting Ulrich. The New York decision is unjustly seen when one realizes the mental calibre of Mr. Washington, his value as a citizen and his endeavors for his race. It is discouraging to find in this late day of the 20th century that prejudice so completely holds sway that it is impossible that a Negro of known ability and character to receive a just decision in an eastern court. While this prejudice exists in the Courts of New York city it is equally true in Chicago for it was only last week that a policeman killed a Negro teamster cold blooded and the officer was acquitted to fair-minded people, this state of affairs must always be regarded as a distinctive example of retarded development. Prejudice is always a weakness and a weapon against those who are victimized. In the light of present affairs it behooves us to renew our confidence in Dr. Washington and assure him of continued faith and appreciation since he has given us tangible evidence of his value in the community of which he is a part. In the language of the Record-Herald, "Dr. Washington will continue to command the admiration and esteem of all intelligent and fair-minded fellow citizens." (Charleston, W. Va., Advocate.) Except in its widest significance, that showing the influence color exerts in tribunals of justice, there is not in the acquittal of Uttica, charged with COLLEGE OF SCIENCE COL JOHN R. MARSHALL assaulting Dr. Booker T. Washington, either a source of pleasure to his enemies or a cause of pain to his friends. That the defendant was found "not guilty" rejects no discredit upon his career. They simply mirrors the trend of the times. It is to be seen clearly in the printed reports of the trial that the preponderance of evidence was on the side of the defense. The custom is so old as to be as strong as written law, that the word of any white woman has more weight than that of any Negro on any question involving the "social equality" burabo. It matters not if, as in the case under consideration, the woman is a self-confessed adulteress, or the black man is as white as snow. If the white woman testifies that a man of color attempted undue liberty in her prejudice, notice will in all cases be out of every hundred render the verdict. In such trials the court is alluring, enlisting, friend of emperors and kings, queens and princesses, millionaires and paupers, admired the world over by the best of the whites, the blacks, the yellows and the reds, should not be above the lurking, horrible suspicion of wanting to "cross the line," shows to what absurdities race prejudice will lend itself. It furnished conclusive evidence, if any were wanting, that, however high the Negro may climb, he is still a Negro, subject to all the "allies and arrows outrageous in their "which do bedes are no high, if a white woman raises even a false alarm, as not to have their veracity doubted in some communities, their liberty or lives endangered in others. When prejudice sits in judgment, blind Justice closes her ears Dr. Washington has our profound sympathy for his embarrassment regarding the affair, and assure him that it in no wise affects our belief in his integrity. Looking at the case of the people of the State of New York against Henry Ulrich, when he offered to co-ordinate a teaching Prof. Booker T. Washington, from purely a legal standpoint, the defendant should have been found guilty according to all the evidence. Dr. Washington was around the premises fully twenty minutes and he made no attack upon his assailant. If he was regarded as a suspicious character there was ample opportunity to call the police. And, even admitting for the sake of argument that adhered to the law of the Ulrich woman, which is unthinkable, yet there are laws to punish such misdemeanors which Ulrich was in duty bound to employ. But he took the law into his own hands and all but killed his victim even after the latter attempted to get away. There was no jury of ignorant white men to render a sympathy verdict in Urichio on the same ground where he decided on the same grounds that a Texas judge decided a case when the editor of the Informer was a Pullman carporter, many years ago. There were two other Pullmans on the train and a drunken white crowdy attempted to take a seat in one of them. The Pullman conductor ordered the porter to eject the intruder and he did so. But at the next town the train was stopped and the arrested for assaulting the rowdy. All the evidence showed that the white man was the aggressor and that the use of force was necessary to eject the white loafer from the Pullman. But the learned judge decided that although the white man was the aggressor as well as a trespasser, nevertheless "no Negro had a right to lay the hand of force on the white man." and fined the man 850. It was undoubtedly some such grounds as this southern judge expressed that actuated the two justices that decided the Ulrich case. The action of the Court of General Sessions of New York City in acquitting Henry A. Ulrich (white), who admitted heat Dr. Booker T. Washington, the great colored educator of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., will go down in history as one of the most fragrant displays of race prejudice ever made in this country. He was a stick and cut Dr. Washington's scalp his ear and bruised his face. To show to what extent race prejudice showed itself, in this case, one has but to note that the words of a woman of questionable character and (Detroit Informer.) (Richmond Planet.)

Marshall of the Eighth Illinois SHOULD FIRST ENLIST MEN Says Officers Should Be Selected Last—Tells of Subsequent Requirements—To Short Work on Armory in March. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 14.—Col. John R. Marshall of the Eighth Illinois, which is the only regiment in the State National Guard made up of colored men, from officers down, has returned from a trip East, visiting New York, Washington and other cities of interest. While in New York Col. Marshall showed much concern in the proposed colored regiment being organized in that city, but does not speak encouragingly of the effort being made by the Negroes of Manhattan, expressing the opinion that they are going about the work of organization in the wrong way. "In the first place the heads are appointing, all the officers without first filling the various companies with desirable men," said Col. Marshall. "The selection of line officers is an easy matter compared with securing men qualified to enlist as privates. While to date most of the line officers have been named, only a small number of privates have been accepted. "The requirements are so stringent nowadays, with reference to applicants being accepted as members of the State militia that I predict that they will be fortunate in New York City if 800 out of 3,000 applicants pass the examinations successfully. Even when the Eighth Illinois was organized during the Spanish-American War, 2,300 men were examined and but 1,300 were passsed on favorably, and at that time they wanted men badly. So you can readily understand what a big task the New Yorkers have ahead of them in forming a colored regiment. Will Cost $300,000 to Arm and Equip Regiment. "I am also afraid that in New York they are not looking at the big expense that will be incurred in the mustering in of a colored regiment. It will cost no less than $300 to arm and equip a regiment, which does not include the expenditure of money for an armory. "The law provides that an applicant desiring to join the State militia must be between the ages of 18 and 45 years, and that they must secure the consent of their parents or guardians. One must successfully pass an eye and ear test and no flat-footed applicants are taken." "While in New York I noticed that the officers of the regiment were issuing statements that the numerical strength of a company would be fifty-two men, which is not in accordance with the law, which provides that the minimum strength of a company should be fifty-eight enlisted men and three officers, and the maximum strength 108 enlisted men and three officers to a company. The members of the Eighth Illinois would like very much to see a colored regiment in New York, but we know that in order for the Negroes of New York to realize their ambition they must proceed along the right lines." Ground will be broken for the erection of the new Eighth Illinois Armory in March. The building will cost $100,000 and will be located at Thirty-ninth street and Wahash avenue. The piece of property was bought by the colored citizens of Chicago for $20,000, due to the activity of Col. Marshall, who interested the Negroes of this city in collecting enough money to buy the ground. After the property had been acquired an appeal was made to the Illinois Legislature to appropriate sufficient money for the erection of an armory, which was done. KELLY MILLOW AND DECISION Says Acquitted by Stella Mullen Has Caused Emile How to Put on Seatcloth and Adjourn The Negro's Distrust of Opinion. Special to THE NEW YORK ANNAL Washington, Nov. 14.—Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, has given out a briefish dealing with the astounding question in the Uirich assault case that leading bristles with indignation. A protective man, and not disposed to prosecution, all the professor's statements have been calm and thoughtful. No guilty statement thoughtfulness is as much as ever. Prof. Miller's statement is as follows: "The decision of the court in New York setting forth the sentiment of Dr. Booker T. Hammond, the foremost Negro in the world, has caused the entire race to panic in stockcloth and ashes. That this American, the blamelessness of whose life embodies the Christ-like meekness, humility and fidelity of spirit, should be stricken down with impunity, fills the just and right mind with indignation for the sentiment and infinite pity for the victim. "President Kill in his calm, judicial, patriotic spirit, professes that he reverences the president and personnel of the courts. Woodward said that the courts were so true their function that every American could share in this lofty sentiment. No blame in America feels that he can get justice in any court where the race feeling is involved. Even the President of the United States will, I am sure, forgive the Negro for not sharing his feeling of injustice for courts and judges, whose innocent personality is so exalted that they must not be called into account for doing done on the bench. "I take it for granted that every reasonable man will regard the allegation that the condition of Mr. Washington was provocative of the assault as shown in the last disputation a man who for well wish a man in the army and possessing a feature of a conduct has been under the white light of public observation, and who for so long has stood the test as being without moral spot or blemish, should, of a night, be transformed into an insane libertine, is too impossible to be entertained for a moment. No candid-minded American believes that Booker, T. Washington addressed any woman on the streets of New York in terms of lustful endearment. That he was peeking through a keyhole in a cheap apartment house with lascivious intent is so inherently silly that it would not even be repeated against any other American of like established character and renown. "The fact that Dr. Washington failed to prove the charge against his assailant to the satisfaction of the court before whom it was tried ought not to reflect upon his honor or prejudice his reputation. The fact that one judge out of three held the assailant to be worthy of punishment robs the decision of judicial conclusiveness. Dr. Washington was not on trial before that court; nor should he be before the American people. "Righteousness of practice, precept and principle is the Negro's only hope. This is indeed the only salvation of the weak among the strong. Dr. Washington has preached and exemplified this in his life. That he should be stricken by lawless hands, declared innocent by law, as an alleged transgressor of the gospel, upon which hinges the mission of his life and the salvation of his race, is to me the most tragic occurrence in our annals since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. And yet I feel sure that the high-minded American people will abate no whit of their respect, support and admiration for this gentle-spirited, pure-souled man because of the humiliation which even a blameless life may not enable the most illustrious Negro to escape." HAD HE BEEN A WHITE MAN. Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, in discussing with a representative of Tire Age the decision of the Court of Special Seasons in the Ulrich case, said: "Sensible people could come to but one conclusion, and that is that it was a case of race prejudice pure and simple on the part of the two judges who decided in favor of acquitting Ulrich. If a white man of Dr. Washington's standing in the country had been before the court under similar circumstances there would have been no doubt of the conviction of his assailant." ELECT ALLEN PRESIDENT. Special to THE NEW YORK ANN. Hannibal, Mo., Nov. 14. At the meeting of the Negro State Teachers' Association, held in this city last week, President B. F. Allen of Lincoln Institute, located in Jefferson City, was unanimously elected president of the association, succeeding Prof. J. Silas Harris. The members have promised to give the new president loyal support in his efforts to conduct a successful administration. For the latest! Theatrical News read the New York Age. EPHRAIM H. MURSSACK, A.M. A NEW ERA FOR LIBERIA Country Has 35,000 Square Miles of Farmland - Government Gives Away From 15 to 25 Acres of Land. Before sailing Tuesday on the steamer Kron Prinzessen for Liberia, Prof. Walter F. Walker, teacher of mathematics at the West Africa College, Monrovia, discussed with a representative of THE AGE the future of the African republic and the opportunity afforded American Negroes in that country, Prof. Walker, who has been in the United States since July on a vacation, believes that the American Negro farmer who tills the soil along scientific lines would find Liberia a productive field for his labors. In commenting on the announcement in the daily press that ten Negro families left Muskogee, Okla., last Friday for Liberia, where they intended to engage in farming, Prof. Walker said: "I expect to see a large number of skilled farmers leave America for Liberia within the next few years. Any Negro who tills his land, using modern methods, has an excellent chance in Liberia and will be gladly received by the Liberian Government. "A new era has dawned for Liberia, and the country is now destined to make great progress," declared Prof. Walker to an Age representative. "The republic promises to make great strides in agriculture, which is bound to be an important factor in its rehabilitation. Liberia has 35,000 square miles of fertile land, so one can readily see the great opportunity it offers for farming. "Any American Negro of good repute who desires to settle in Liberia as a farmer can get free fifteen acres of valuable land by applying to the Government officials. If he has a family he can secure twenty-five acres. One can go from New York to Liberia by way of Europe, second class, for $155, and by way of Madera, Canary Islands, for $110. Then, if one desires to make the trip traveling third class it will cost about $70 by way of Madera and $90 by way of Europe. "There is one piece of advice I want to give Americans who go to Liberia to settle. They should bring their household effects with them, as Liberia to date has no large stores which supply the kind of household goods that are bought in the United States. If you bring your furniture along you will not have to pay duty, but if you send for it after you have entered Liberia it will be different." Prof. Walker feels confident that Liberia, with the aid of the funds soon to be placed at its disposal, will be recognized before many years as an important commercial center and command the respect of the other nations. seat her favorite son for Grand Treasurer of the G. U. O. of O. F. of America, in the person of Ephraim H. McKissack, A. M., Secretary and Treasurer of the Odd Fellows' Benefit Association of District Grand Lodge No. 10, Jurisdiction of Mississippi. If merit counts for anything in Odd Fellowship, the Mississippiians have no apologies to offer in presenting this name, which will honor the office more than the office will honor him. The career of Prof. E. H. McKissack has been a long and honorable one and one of unselfish service. His boyhood was attended with both poverty and great privations, but he had in him the metal that makes not only men, but noblemen. His struggles continued until he had acquired a college education, graduating with the B.A. degree from Rust University, that historic institution among Mississippiians which has sent forth so many men of light and leading. Whereup he became the professor of natural science in his Alma Mater and held this position for many years until he was forced to relinquish it on account of the great pressure of business that developed by virtue of the great success that he had had in the building up of the Odd Fellows' Benefit Association of this jurisdiction, choosing the order as the means through which he could be of greater service to his fellowman. Some of the strongest men that are doing service for the race today have sat at his feet for years in the school room and are products of his untiring industry, among them the writer himself. In all of his life work he has been an untiring worker in all lines of Christian endeavor, and even now there is no more active church worker in all this country than Prof. McKissack. Great as these deeds are, they are transcended by his enigmatical, if not magic, work in constructing out of a lead pencil, a tablet and thirty cents a corporation doing a half-million dollars of business bi-enially. This, in brief, is the story of Odd Fellowship in Mississippi for the past twenty-five years. And during all of these years and in the handling of this enormous sum of money neither the smell of fire nor the smack of graft has ever been upon his garments. Modesty, economy, honesty and unselfish devotion have been his motto. Doubtless many do not know that he is general manager of the Union Guaranty and Insurance Company of Mississippi, that has a paid-up capital of fifty thousand dollars and with headquarters in the city of Jackson. Prof. E. H. McKissack represents the highest type of business development and would be a credit to any race or nation. Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, says that the twenty thousand Odd Fellows of Mississippi present this loyal son to the Grand U. O. for the position of Grand Treasurer and they will be present throughly duly accredited representatives at the sixteenth B. M. C. to urge that this great order take this timely step and crown this position with this great financier and fraternal magnate, who will reflect credit upon it and lead luster to it. "I have just been reading the papers about Gov. Blaine with his lynching and publicly declaring the necessity he would lead a more than or lychna a Negro," said the Governor Carroll to an Aust representative. I am satisfied that Gov. Blaine statement, I desire to have it just the keeps chilling of the public through the election of Gov. Blaine, the chief executive of the State who is the nature of a calamity, the better choice of whites are with the colored people. "Gov. Blease is seeking to gain political advancement by adopting a method used by Vardaman of Mississippi—appealing to the prejudices of the working class and the ignorant white. He was elected by the poor whites and he does not show much consideration for the cultured white people of South Carolina or the business people. On the other hand, they detest Gov. Blease and do not approve of his radical methods." "Gov. Blease belongs to that type of a Southerner that talks violently against the Negro in the daytime and shows inclination to meet on very friendly occasions with him at night. This is particularly true with reference to his attitude toward colored women. Knowing of the Governor's traits, the Negroes of South Carolina do not get excited whatever he abuses the race publicly. "So long as the influential white persons of South Carolina and the leading white citizens are friendly towards the Negroes of that State it is not likely that there will be any conflict between the races to the detriment of the Nation." ATTACKED WOMANIOD Head Man of Small Colored Paper Now baked by Members of Women's Club Alliance for Charging that Women Were Responsible for Immoral Conditions. At the meeting of the Women's Civic Alliance, held at Bethel A. M. K. Church last Sunday, the head man of one of New York City's small colored papers was "called down" for declaring that the colored women of New York City were mainly responsible for the immoral conditions existing in some parts of the city. Mrs. Lutie L. Cousen, president of the Women's Civic Alliance, led in the protest against the miscalled for attack on the womanhood of the city. The women present took exceptions to the speaker declaring that the world point in the armor of the race was womanhood; that the Negro could not present a solid front to the world under the standard of womanhood was raised. Reference was made to the large number of buffet flats being conducted by women and how women meet on street corners and engage in long conversations. When the speaker had finished and was about to leave, Mrs. Cowan impressed a desire that he remain until he had heard a few words on the subject by some of the women present. Mrs. Cowan declared that while it was proven that women conducted buffet had it was also true that such places were opened and maintained at the behaviour patronage of men; that when women stood on street corners and talked with members of the male sex it was clear that the instance of men, and that most women usually responsible for the moral charge of women. It was suggested that the men of the city set a higher standard for the women to go by and not need to drag them down, thereby improving relations. Other women answered the latter made by the newspaper some of the vein, and the male model some to have left the menus may be enclosed on the subject of Women.

He applied the same to the Christian warfare and then to St. James Church, showing even though the worker few as soon as possible, and yet both perseverance we will conquer. He said that there was no time to stop for complaint, no time to stop and rest, but that we should, continue the fight, doing all in our power to overcome the enemy. C.

Owing to the inclement weather the evening service was not well attended, nevertheless the pastor, Dr. William S. Holder, preached a very instructive sermon from the text: "Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 15:26). The reverend doctor said in part: "With Christian fortitude the disciples bore afflictions, and because they were brave men they filmed not, as the enemies to the cause lead them to the stake, the furnace and into the lion's den, and to the cross. These early followers forsook their homes, forgot their friends, gave up wealth and money for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Immediately after the Pentecost and the death of Stephen, the Christians were scattered from Jerusalem, through the evil work of Saul of Tarsus, who after his conversion became not only a supporter to the Gospel, but a martyr. Amid death and persecution, pangs of hunger and want the early advocates stood, never yielding, but climbing to the word. They preached the truth and gave their life for the name of Lord Jesus Christ, Aramian Lincoln, John Brown, Martin Luther, John Coplin, Ellas Thacker-John Greenwood, John Smith and others were possessed of the same sincerity which characterized the earlier followers of the lowly Nazarene. Reformers died for that which they were convinced to be right, while the poor disciples were killed because they repeated the story of Jesus and His works. This Gospel for which men were baptized, the curse of the unintended and the acceptance of the truth. Christians, therefore, should be willing to hazard their lives, if necessary, for the name of their Lord and Sayer, Jesus Christ. Among the staff of the evening service was Miss C. Thomas and Miss Tucker as member of Broadway Tabernacle Congregational Church. The attendance of the school continues to increase. The attendance of the Month's Bible Class of 5 P. M. W. W.

The institution is fortunate in having a fine corps of instructors. Robert Sneed, one of the oldest residents of this county, died at Milford, Tex, at the age of 96 years. He is survived by several relatives. Nathan W. Rhambo, the embalmer for W. M.

Special to Twin New York AVE Many were surprised to read in last week's issue of THE AGE of the death of "Pat" Chappelle, proprietor of "A Rabbit's Foot" Company, who died at his home in Jacksonville, October 21, and whose remains were interred in Memorial Cemetery, October 29. Funeral services were held from Bethel Baptist Church, the Rev. J. E. Ford-officiating, assisted by the Revs. James Johnson, William Nobles, J. M. Deas, D. M. Baxter and Grand Master J. H. Dickerson. About five hundred Masons attended the funeral, headed by the Welcome Cornet Band. Patrick Henry Chappelle was one of the wealthiest colored citizens of Jacksonville, Fla., owning much real estate. He was very successful as a showman, and made considerable money touring small towns in the South with his "A Kabbalah Foot" Company. He went for his health, accompanied by Mrs. Chappelle, last summer, but did not remain away very long, finding that the climate did not agree with him in England and Paris. Upon his return to the United States he announced in Fri. Nov. that he would not take his show out this season on account of his health. He leaves a widow. Native Laborers Strike in Africa. (From) Kamilovic Teakun Becana, Soc. 16. Some relied on persuasion the most best morally sensitive moment can scarcely be aware of the power of the press for good or evil. A striking example of this power when used for the benefit of the common was captured at East London hotels. There was a strike among the dock bands of the East London port. The East London dock was overloaded with the men's demands and the best way of stopping the lasting contention of dock laborers. The fact that strikers were all blocked did not deter the Dispatch from speaking up for the cause of justice. This advice was followed by the dock authorities and most fortunate for all conceived, the strike has ended happily. It is all well that ends well and for this happy termination of an unfortunate position we hasten to congratulate the authorities at the wharf including the dock workers on the helm of the Dispatch—the leader of thought. How unlike the Algae Bay burlesque where rather than accede to the modest request of their men they reported to the mean device of displacing them with inferior hands who scamped the work at double pay.

City Railroad are trying the experiment of having colored conductors and motormen. Already something like fifty or sixty men have been put to work and the public seems to be taking kindly to the innovation. There is nothing in the colored man's make-up that would unit him for any position that any other man might hold. Therefore, why should he not have an equal chance. We appreciate the fact that all this is happening in Canada, free Canada. The same conditions should obtain in our called free country and would were it not for the ever-present prejudice. The colored man here is told to work out his own salvation and when he attempts to do this the door of industry is closed in his face. Truly these are great people—Chicago Defender. This is the only machine ever invented that cuts directly on the cloth without paper weights, sorrows or pins. A dress can be out in seven minutes without gueswork or re-fitting, twice as quick as by pattern. This machine is so simple and easy that dressmakers require no personal instruction, and are able to work the machine at very short time. When a pattern is not desired, the operator can use tracing wheel and run around the machine upon the dress lining and so save time in her work.

Apply MANAGER AO - PRESENT IN THE AO Washington, D. C., Nov. 15. The election of William J. Browning of New Jersey, as Congressman from the first New Jersey district to succeed the late Hon. Henry C. Loudenslager, has considerably pleased the colored employees in and around the Capital. They confidently expect that Mr. Browning will step into the position which Mr. Loudenslager held as secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee, and that he will have the appointment of several employees of that committee during the elections next year. It is said that this matter is now being discussed among political leaders who have recently come to Washington to prepare for the opening of Congress within a few weeks. Mr. Browning was once chief clerk of the House of Representatives and is thoroughly familiar with every phase of the national political problem which now confronts the Republican party. The return of President Taft to this city after his long trip through the West was signalized by a reprieve granted to Mattie Lomax, the colored woman now in custody here sentenced to be hung for murder., and who was to be hung on the last day of this month. The reprieve is for several months. It is now expected that Mrs. Lomax will die before the end of the time which has been extended to her, as she is suffering with tubercular trouble. Several petitions were addressed to President Taft by the colored and white citizens of Washington asking that the woman be not allowed to hang, as this is an unusual occurrence in this locality. President Taft favorably considered all of these, and will, if necessary, act in accordance with the will of the people. William H. Lewis, assistant attorney-general, will be given a reception and banquet at True Reformers' Hall on November 27. A considerable number of acceptances have been received to this affair and it promises to come off with as much eclat as any that has been recently held in these parts. Mr. Lewis has won for himself a wide circle of friends since he came to live in Washington and they wish to express their public approval of his promotion to the high post which he now holds. The committee in charge of the reception and banquet is composed of Messra, Charles E. Hall of Illinois, L. M. Hershaw; Charles J. Pickett and Thomas H. R. Clarke. The plans for the new Normal School No. 2 are completed and it will not be many months before the erection of the new building is begun on the Georgia avenue site. The new location of the school will be in the neighborhood of Howard University on a high terrace on Georgia avenue, facing that street at about the place where it will be cut when the proposed extension of Vermont avenue is completed. The new white norm school will be in this locality also and, it is expected, the presence of these two institutions in this neighborhood will have considerable influence towards the establishment of a new environment for voice. At present the approach to the proposed buildings in so far as car lines is concerned is exceedingly meager. Alain Leroy Locke was a visitor in this city a few days ago, where he was the recipient of many social courtesies. The residents of Fairmount Heights, one of the largest colored suburbs of the Capital, were aroused from their slumbers by the cry of fire proceeding from the house of Harry Cardoza, who has located in that neighborhood for the past several months. Heroic efforts on the part of neighbors served to hold the fire in check. The lower part of the house was burned, as well as considerable of the invitations, announcing the wedding of Miss Leah Randolph of Jersey City, to Dr. J. Francis Johnson of this city, for Wednesday, November 15, are out. The Poinsetta Embroidery Circle has elected the following officers under the new reorganization: Miss Minnie Wilson, president; Miss Dorothy Johnson, secretary; Miss Evelyn Moss, treasurer. Other members are Misses Estelle Collier, Rosa Hershaw, Pearl Lewis, Mamie Lewis, Lillian Evans, Mary Cook, Euphemia Lofton, Fannie Holland, Suth Morris, Lulu Mayer, Norma Sewell, Mrs. Olive Ambler Weir and Mrs. Maggie Welborne Wilkinson. Mrs. A. J. Cooper of the M Street High School, addressed the Bethel Literary and Historical Society on the topic, "From Susan B. Anthony to Ella Flagg Young." The paper was well received and provoked a lively discussion, in which Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce superintendent of schools, Mr. Lusson, Mr. Garnet Wilkinson, and others took part. The Booklovers, Mrs. Henry Baker, president, are engaged in sociological research for their winter's program. The Wednesday Evening Literary has elected Mrs. A. J. Cooper president, and the members, too, have an interesting plan of study and social improvement. Neval Thomas gave an interesting account of his trip through Egypt and the Holy Land, illustrated with stereocion views. This is Mr. Thomas' second trip abroad.

Fleming nabbed the ball sent from the trusty Hilton's toes after it had been fumbled by Union for the first touchdown.

Lincoln Wins an Easy Victory Lincoln's huklysy warriors took an easy victory from the plucky squad of the Langston Athletic Club of Chester last Saturday, completely outchasing them in every feature of the game. In the first half Coach Roberts sent in his second-string men, who by ultra-modern tactic of open play, as well as by startling demonstrations of straight football, almost swept the opposing team out of existence, rolling up a score of 71 to 0. Never before in the history of the university he played, the tremendous score been recorded against an opponent. The first touchdown was made within three minutes of play, after which it was a common thing to see the Langston eleven lined up under the bright sunlight some time the Oranges and Biltz kick the goal. In the second half the "Varsity took the field and added 26 points to the 45 that had already been made by the scrubs. Of course, the score would have been much larger had the last shot not been cut from 15 to 8 minutes. "Big" Bullock certainly was a terror to the Langton squad, running through their line for 20 and 30 yards like a steam engine. Dunn exhibited great ability in his use of the stiff end for long gains. Townsend and Rafford stood out more conspicuously than others of Lincoln's ends in alertness and speed in getting down for punts. Whereas the Langton eleven was defended by the pace, it should not be overlooked that they put plucky fight and died game. Their team showed good discipline and was far better schooled in the game than Stentonworth. The much larger score is accounted for by the consideration that between the time of the two remarkable improvement in offensive as well as defensive play. The line-up: Lincoln, Rafford, Townsend, Green, left end; Shedrick, Bullock, tackle; Goss, Jamison, Ward, guard; Hilton, Wicks, right guard; Jamison, Goss, tackle; Townsend, Midgette, ends.

When our opportunity has been given it, in New York and New Jersey, in order to make good its professions of charity and loyalty to the people, Democratic party has always shown its incapacity to govern his household and therefore inalty to be loyal to the household owners. He who cannot rule his house will much rule the rule of his neighbor. As it is with individual, so it is with a party, in a nation. We have examples that us on every hand of individuals, parties, of nations, who bear out truth of this trite fact. in is true that the results of the question are somewhat in the nature of a drawn battle; but there is no meaning the tendency back to the Republican from the Democratic party, pronouncedly in the States of New York and New Jersey, and in the State of Maryland, where the Democrats were routed for the second battle in the war. It is a great surprise and gratification to have Mary Puebon turn from its Democratic ways, to spill out young Arthur Puebon, the candidate for Governor, and stood for the pernicious name and policy of his father, who did so much to debauch and degrade the policies of Maryland and to corrupt the policies of the National Democratic party. Governor Foss pulled through in Massachusetts, but the remainder of the Democratic ticket was slain. The success of the Southern party all over the country is the most surprising phase of the election season, they having elected one superior in New York State, eleven in Iowa and one in Mississippi. Even Jackson, S. C., went to the labor unions as against the Democratic and brown. The disposition in some quarters to insist, because of the results in India, where the Democrats and Socialists secured the advantage in nearly local contests, President Taft enforced in prestige is unjust, because the Taft administration was not an issue in the Ohio election; it is also enforced by the results of the voting throughout the country, favorable to the Republican party, indicating unmistakably the confidence of the people in the ability and the honesty of the President, who seeks to enforce the laws, the Sherman law included, so he finds them on the statute books, and not as special interests would help him do, that is, wink at or ignore their enforcement. Laws are made to enforce; if they are unjust or impose the best way to insure their appeal is to enforce them, and in that may make them odious. The outlook for the success of the Republican party in 1912 has been brightened by the results of the elections of 1911. CURRENT SCHOOL ADVANTAGES. New cities in the Republic offer secure and better opportunities to ac- cquire an education in regular or spe- cial branches than New York. This is true of the night as of the day schools. Those who cannot attend the day courses have an opening on every hand to do so in the night courses. Not only is provision made for the public schools for night stu- dies, where all of the regular but many of the special day courses are needed, but there are schools of sci- ence and ethical culture. Any one other desires to secure an education, so to perfect himself in any special school of culture or science or trade so as if he will deny himself and be the necessary sacrifice. The consent to which the night schools of New York are attended --- have the ability to prepare for the day ahead. It is not surprising that no large a percentage of those who attend are young people of foreign parentage who cannot afford to take the time from breadwinning in the day hours necessary to secure the preparation needed to make them good and useful citizens. They are eager for useful knowledge and make the sacrifice necessary to get it. THE AGE regrets that the night schools of all sorts have not a larger attendance of young Negroes than they have. We have a large population of such young people in New York City from our Southern States and the West Indies, and who are constantly coming, who cannot spare from the work hours time to add to their knowledge in ethics or the useful sciences and handicrafts, and yet who need such knowledge as much as the young whites in order to hold their positions or secure promotion in them, and who stand in their own light when they neglect to do so. THE AGE hopes that the Negro young men and women of New York will see the importance of taking, more generally, advantage of the night schools' advantages of New York, in order to perfect themselves in the line of work they are doing, or the work they desire to do, or to enlarge their culture in what is called polite learning. The schools are here, and our young people are as free to attend them as are the young people of any of the many other race types who make up the population of New York. Locate the night school nearest to you and go to it. THE MAN BEHIND THE NEWS- PAPER. The effort to eliminate the man behind the newspaper and to substitute a veiled prophet yanked hither and thither by a board of some sort, without individual responsibility to the public, has so far been a failure that, when a man like Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World dies, the wise ones immediately seize upon the occasion to exalt' the man to his proper place and to subordinate his board of some sort to its proper place—that is, a thing which did the will of the master and not the master who did the will of the thing. Everything must have a head, including a newspaper, with which its working parts are in sympathy and who is in sympathy with its working parts. Certainly THE Ace has and always had such a head, with wisdom enough to secure and to hold such sympathetic parts as are necessary to make it a great and helpful force in American life. When it ceases to have such a head it will cease to be a body of light and leading. It was so with the New York World during the lifetime of Joseph Pulitzer, the beginning and the ending of whose work in New York we saw. Mr. Pulitzer died in Charleston Harbor, in sight of Fort Sumter, whose brazen guns finally, as a soldier, he helped to muzzle forever, on his yacht, Sunday afternoon, October 29, 1911. Mr. Pulitzer was born in Budapest, Austria, in 1847. From his youth up he was full of the force and resolution that mark the career of those who succeed. He performed any sort of work which came handy, and performed it well, but sought improvement in his stock of knowledge and fortunes in every change. He had defective vision, and this thwarted his efforts to be a soldier in Prussia, in France and in Great Britain. When the Civil War broke out in this country he came here, joined the Lincoln cavalry, and served to the end of the war. In 1868 he drifted into journalism, in St. Louis, as a reporter on the Westliche Post, a German paper, edited by Carl Schurz. Later he purchased that paper, and then sold it. He was special correspondent of the New York Sun pending the settlement of the Hayes-Tilden contest, at Washington, in 1875-6, and remained with that newspaper until 1878. In the same year he established the Post-Dispatch in St. Louis, and owned it when he died. In 1883 he purchased the New York World, and in the development of it stamped his personality upon American journalism in a manner most marked and decisive. In 1883 all of the New York daily newspapers retailed at five cents a copy and were of four-page form. Mr. Pulitzer reduced the price to one cent and put no limit on size. The innovation caused a great stir in New York, that was felt throughout the country. The morale of daily journalism fell down with the fall in price and increase in size, and has never in any respect recovered from the fall. Then came a scramble for circulation and advertisement, for business it was ironically called, with apparent disregard of public rights or feelings, as the gutters as well as the palaces of the world were scoured for what was, sarcastically, labelled news. The scramble is yet in full cry. The New York Sun, Times and Evening Post refused to join in the scramble and clung to the dignity and decency that characterize them even unto this day. Mr. Pulitzer made money hand over We knew Mr. Pulitzer very well in his young days in New York judicialism. He had the the face of a Mephistopheles and the wit of a Diabola. With the editorial pen he scattered rose water in one paragraph and vitriol in another. He fetched a love of human freedom with him from Austro-Hungary, where there is little of it, and could not divest himself of it. He had no love for the Negro, but espoused his cause from first to last because he is the victim of vicious public opinion and laws. Mr. Pulitzer belonged to no party, as a partisan, and served none, and in the politics of his times was as much of an Ishmael as his bitter enemy, Mr. Charles Anderson Dana of the New York Sun, both of whom were more of a hindrance than a help to the party they elected for the time to co-operate with; and neither of them was the originator of any good thing in morals or politics that survives them. They simply seized upon such currents of public thought and movement as would best serve their purposes for the moment and made the most of them. We doubt not that they both had the tenderness of heart which was inseparable from the iron backbone of Abraham Lincoln, but the public seldom got a glimpse of it in what they said and in what they did. Critics, like those who live near a mountain, are predisposed to underrate or overrate the object of their criticism. In the case of Mr. Pulitzer the newspapers and publicists of America and Europe have given him a pre-eminence as a journalist in his death which he did not earn nor enjoy in his life. He was not in the same class with Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune, who helped to crush slavery; nor of George Jones of the New York Times, who strove to crush Southern political White Liner Terrorism from 1868 to 1877, and to thwart the Tilden theft of the Presidency in 1876-7, and who stood at the head of American journalism from 1870 to his death a few years ago; nor was he in the same class with Carl Schurz of the New York Evening Post, and George William Curtis of Horper's Weekly, whose joint labors did more to neutralize corruption in politics and to reform the civil service than that of all of their contemporaries combined. Mr. Joseph Pulitzer was a great journalist, and THE Ace appreciates the editorial friendliness towards the Negro people which was a marked feature of his work as a journalist. THE GUILTY ULRICH. Justice is no longer blind, nor the scales of it held evenly balanced, in New York State, when the Court of Special Sessions can, by a vote of two to one, find justification, on the evidence presented, to discharge a man of the low moral standing of Henry Ulrich for brutally assaulting a man of the high moral standing of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The evidence showed that the assault, which occurred March 19, last, was unprovoked and brutal; that had not the man been restrained he may have committed murder, and that the motive for the assault was based upon the unsustained testimony of the man's kept woman that Dr. Washington had accosted her in the doorway of the apartment house in which she lived a life of shame and falsehood. That the evidence of two such characters should weigh with the court against the evidence of such a character as that of Dr. Washington and the witnesses who corroborated his evidence, argues a condition in the character of the court which the public opinion of New York, we believe, in no wise approves. That, at least, is the charitable view of it. It was apparent to every one in the court, who heard the evidence, Tuesday, of last week, that Justice could see the color of the parties concerned, and that the scales of it were unbalanced by what it saw. It is a dangerous condition of affairs when, in a New York law court, corroborated evidence of reputable citizens can be overborne by the perjured evidence of a prostitute and a wife deserter and dealer in dog flesh for livelihood, presumably, on the face of it, because the defendant was a white man and the complainant a colored man. We do not look for that sort of justice in a New York court, and have not heretofore found it to be so, but of late it has become so far the rule in the courts of first instance and with the police details to give the white man the benefit of the doubt and the black and colored man the benefit of the law, without regard to the evidence, that we should not be surprised, while we protest against it, to find it corrupting its way into the higher courts. We should bet. our Nee as a flint against the tendency, because that way is the way of death. Henry Ulrich has been passed on to New Jersey justice for another off- the public, and to have faith in Dr. Washington and to hold up his hands in his good work, as one of the master builders of the nation. PROFANITY IN PUBLIC PLACES The cultivation of refinement in speech and manners, in private as well as in public places, should be the pleasure as it is the duty of every person who desires to stand high in his own estimation. We put it in that way because it is not only the most suggestive but it should be the most convincing way. The opinion of others is good and necessary to cultivate, but to cultivate one's own good opinion is far better. Indeed, many people sacrifice their self-respect in order to secure the good opinion of others, whose standards may be low and vulgar. It depends largely upon the standards ruling in the time and place. If these be low and vulgar many people, rather than be odd, unsoiable, conform to them, despite their repugnance, their disgust, so that after awhile their finer sensibilities become roughened by Alexander Pope's token that: "Vice is a monster of such frightful mean That, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet, seen too off, familiar with his face. We first endure, then pity, then embrace. Those who associate with low, vulgar people are bound in time to become themselves low and vulgar, however hard they may fight against doing so. There is no commandment in the Bible more binding upon Christian people than the prohibition against profanity, blasphemy. "Swear not at all" sums up the whole matter, not only as a commandment, but fixed as a law by Him who "spake as never man spake before" to those who believe on Him and the philosophy He laid down for the sheep separated from the goat—the clean people separated from the unclean people. How can a person have a pure heart if he have a dirty mouth, clean words if he have vulgar thoughts. Might as well expect to whiten linen by washing it in muddy water as to expect clean words out of minds full of vulgar thoughts. And yet many Christian people act upon the theory that they can cultivate low, lewd, vulgar conversation in private with their associates, and, yet, escape exhibition of it in their speech and conduct in public places. That which people cultivate in private, for diversion, for amusement, that also will they betray, perhaps unconsciously, in public, often to their confusion, sometimes to their undoing. The safe way is to "touch not, handle not, the unclean thing;" there is danger in any other course. The frequency with which sensitive people in a large city like New York come upon low and vulgar manners, in the conduct and speech of others rank profanity, lewd ejaculations, in public places of travel, amusement and accommodation, is not only astonishing but disgusting. And often those gnity of it act and speak as if utterly unconscious of the proximity of others, or as contemptuous of the rights and feelings of such. The latter theory is oftener true than the former. They simply do not care, having become tough in their own vulgarity, what others think or feel about it. If such people are rebuked, even in the mildest, politest manner, they become vilely abusive and are ready and anxious to reduce their abuse to violence. Now, this condition of profanity in public places is not confined to any one race or class of the citizenship. It is to be met with in high and low places, among all sorts of people, and it is doing very much to lower the national moral standard and to vulgarize the national life, so that the estimate of foreigners of Americans, in Europe and the Far East, is that they are a profane and vulgar nation, because they make that display of themselves at home and abroad. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is natural for Mr. Bryan's Commoner to give aid and comfort to the Progressive Republican Leaguers. Misery loves company. The New York Bible Society circulated last year 151,000 volumes of Scripture, in forty languages. This does not sustain the contention that Bible reading is dying out. We are reminded of Sherman's When the vast hosts of people who use the railroads, as passengers, every year is considered the fatalities are surprisingly small. With the year ended June 30, last, the total casualties were 160,555—10,369 killed and 150,159 injured. Of the 1,648,033 employees one in every 458 was killed. Prohibition, it has just been decided by the Governor's Council, will continue in Maine, as a result of the last voting. The result was so close as long to be in doubt. An amendment to the Federal Constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in any State, is the only effective way that the curse of drink can be stamped out. The United States leads the world in beer and whiskey drinking. It should be the other way. The friends of Rev. J. H. Morgan, D. D., of Bordentown, N. J., have named a committee to raise him a nurse on his sixty-eighth birthday, October 15. Those who desire may send him their contribution direct. Dr. Morgan was unjustly forced out of the ministry, after thirty-five years of service, by Bishop Gaines, at Camden, two years ago, and has since had no employment, and can get no relief until the meeting of his General Conference next year. The white garage keepers and the white chauffeurs of New York appear to have formed a league to freeze out the Negro chauffeurs and garage keepers, but we think they will rather assist, by their hoggish policy, the increase of both Negro garages and chauffeurs. One way to arouse people to do justice to themselves is to undertake to drive them away from a common trough, so to speak, the common right to make a living in any given occupation. We have now three or four Negro garage owners in New York who are doing well, and there will be more of them as the demand for them grows. The Negro Republicans of Maryland have learned how to get together under competent leadership. Those of New York State refused many years ago, when we made an effort to teach them, to learn, and they are yet supremely ignorant of the fine art. But it is never too late to learn how to do a good thing, and to practice the doing of it. Why does not our good state committeeman, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, move for a state convention that would perfect a state organization? He has the neucleus in the New York county organization, through which he has accomplished a good and helpful work for the party and the race. Let's get together. Elections are necessary, but they come too soon and often. An election once every four years would be sufficient for all purposes of government. And there are too many offices; half the number we now have would be sufficient. And there are too many voters, one-half of whom have no material interest in the welfare of the government, and do not know what they vote for or against; half the voters we now have would be sufficient for all purposes, and include all of the citizens who have a material interest in good government and who know what they should and should not vote for. Because of numbers, most political conventions and legislative bodies are two unwieldy to do business, so that a small committee, with a boss for chairman, has to be selected to do it for them. The new Prime Minister of Russia, who succeeds M. Stolypin, recently assassinated, is said to be a very able man. Perhaps. He certainly has a powerful name, which a stuttering man would have trouble in pronouncing. His name is Vladimir Nikolaievich Kokovytsoff. It requires almost as much name and backbone to be a Prime Minister of Russia as it does to be President of Hayti, where for the moment General Cincinnatus Leconte is holding down the job and watching the bulletin board for an nouncement of "the usual" revolution. The time is bound to come when the people of Hayti will have a more stable government and those of Russia a more democratic form of government in order to assure their continuance. We hope the best outcome for Hayti on general principles, as we do for Russia, but we have a peculiar interest in the former that we have not in the latter. The late James C. Atwater, who left an estate of more than $1,000,000, bequeathed $78,000 to charity. Among the beneficiaries is the -Brooklyn Home' for Aged Colored People, $5,000. The Negro charitable institutions in New York county, and they are quite numerous. it is to be regretted do not figure in the wills of our rich citizens as frequently as do of the country of the institution then is becoming so large and the needs of its charitable institutions so much the greater and argeat as to require more and more the help of the charitably disposed. Their presence should be kept before those who give among us and their work and needs to the maintenance of such institutions. The will of Mrs. Anna Maria Fisher, of Brooklyn, probated last week, is a healthy indication that our people of wealth continue to remember their own in their bequests, numerous other indications of which we have had in the past. The Morocco dispute between Germany and France has been settled in favor of France, which now controls Tunis, Algeria and Morocco. The German Kaiser wanted to enforce his view of the contention by a resort to war, but when the German bankers were asked to furnish the money they said they didn't have it. Nowadays when the money lord says "nol" the war lord has to bathe his sword in "cusa" words instead of blood. It should presage a happier future condition of affairs for mankind that war lords not only, for the most part, have to consult their legislatures but their bankers as well before they rush into war. Legislators are responsible to the taxpayers, their constituents, and bankers are responsible to their depositors, and they look upon a war proposition as upon any other business risk, only as being more hazardous. The check book, therefore, has become more powerful than the sword, and wars are more difficult to begin and to prosecute than in any other period of history. "The Grand Lodge of Scotland of Free and Accepted Masons," a recent Glasgow dispatch says, "has inhibited the lodge of Forfar and Kincardine from conferring any further degrees on Jack Johnson, pending an inquiry as to his initiation into the lodge a few days ago." The action of the Grand Lodge caused a great stir in Forfar, and in Scotland. The Forfar Lodge insists that Johnson is just as eligible and good for membership as a white man would be. It is the first time, we believe, that a Grand Lodge in Great Britain has drawn the color line, and shows, as we pointed out recently, that the growth of race prejudice in the British Islands has been coincident with British territorial acquisition and expansion in Africa. The British treatment of natives in their Australian, East Indian and African colonies, like that of Germany, is in striking contrast to that of France. The policy of treating the natives of colonies as if they were aliens, with no right to voice or participation in the government under which they live, is one bound to breed a discontent which will make itself, in the final development, troublesome, if not disastrous, to those responsible for it. There is no longer any question or dispute as to what constitutes Christian rules of warfare as opposed to barbarian rules. The Christian nation that practices barbarian rules of war, such as General Forrest carried out in the Fort Pillow massacre and the Confederate authorities winked at in Libby Prison, not only has to reckon with the public opinion of the times but that of all times. It is still a debatable question as to whether Japan was justified in beginning the war with Russia before the declaration of war was made public. The Italian army murdered 4,000 women, children and men. "Abrabs, children of the desert," about Tripoli, in Northern Africa, October 26, because previously Arab soldiers had fired upon the rear of the Italian line. The New York Evening Post says: "The details of the slaughter are terrible reading." "The story is sickening." Christian newspapers in Europe and America, as well as the Roman Pontif, have expressed the opinion that the Italian conquest of Tripoli from Turkey, would be tantamount to snatching an Islamic brand from the burning, but if the Cross is to supplant the Crescent by such slaughter as the Italians are engaging in in Tripoli, it can only be done by planting the Cross in desolated cities and peopleless deserts. The severity with which the Russian government treats its Jewish subjects has long been a national disgrace and a reflection on Christian Europe. But American Jews in Russia fare very little better than those native to the country. All efforts of American diplomacy to effect better conditions for them have so far been unsuccessful; on the contrary, it is now announced, such efforts, instead of bettering conditions for American Jews in Russia, make them worse, as the Nationalist party "seek to find in this agitation evidence that their opponents are beneficiaries of foreign interference," which is resented. The Russians feel about it about as Americans would feel if a European state should actively, by its accredited diplomatic representative, intercede regularly with our State Department against mob violence and discriminating laws against the Negro citizens of our Southern States. And yet the enlightened Christian sentiment of the Constitution of Russia and the Megan of the Russian States in the class laws and public opinion that make them both alike the victims of national and of race persecution. FASCINATIONS OF THE CIRCUS The colored people of Norfolk almost to a man quit business Tuesday and went to see the circus parade; there is some kind of peculiar fascination the colored brother and sister has for the circus. The circus is gone and many a man and woman neglected to pay a few honest Monday bills. Pleasure is all right if one has the cash and the time to waste.—Norfolk New Century. BOUQUETS FOR TORTUNE We told you Fortune could "come back." Feed, clothe and encourage a genius and he will get into the finest of working trim.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. T. Thomas Fortune and the journal he established, The New York Age, are again united. The Age without its Fortune is as Hamlet without Hamlet.—Huntsville (Ala.) Journal. Editor Fortune. it seems, is to go right back to the New York Age. Well, we are not the only one associated. We always thought that Thomas mourned his first love.—Indianapolis Freeman. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, once the illustrious editor of The New York Age, is again in the same position. His death in 1906, but he is said to have entirely recovered.—Norfolk: Journal and Guide. We are indeed glad to note that the Hon. T. Thomas Fortune has again assumed the editor's chair on The New York Times without fear of successful contradiction) is the best Afro-American paper published—and Mr. Fortune made it that before he left the job sometime he would have written for the position and we will watch the editorial columns of his paper for rich, rare and racy gems as he is one of the able writers in the country. We dip into his honor—San Antonio (Tex.) Inquirer. It is quite hard for a man to lose his first love, Mr. Fortune is an excellent newspaper man. He is the father of The New York Age and has ever conducted its editorial columns successfully. Great credit should be given Editor Moore for having kept the New York Age up to the point of high-class journalism. While Mr. Fortune dealt more with the political issues, touching all phases of life and civilization, Editor Moore dealt mainly upon the educational, religious and industrial lines. In fact, The Axe has never lost any of its sweetness, and now that he is no longer able to be able to shake the entire North and wake up the South in scientific journalism—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. T. Thomas Fortune, editor and newspaper authority, is again with the New York Age after an absence of four years. The New York Age is the old and more traditional of Negro papers, and that this is true is due largely if not entirely to the knowledge and endeavor of Mr. Fortune. He is a close student of human nature, a correct observer and a caretaker, and he has created a paper which is an acknowledged leader among Negro newspapers. It is with great joy that we welcome him back to the paper which he has made such a forcible mouthpiece, and he has endeanced and knowledge will serve to give The New York Age even greater prestige than it already knows, and its readers throughout the country must share the pleasure which New York feels in seeing him resuming swear Mr. Fortune in one speech who may be not only to keep abreast of his times, but to anticipate them. He knows fully the value of a newspaper to a people, and he has made it the best effectively within their reach. People who know the good he has done throughout the country, and the high ideals which he has maintained, feel unusual gratification to see him back in harness, directing the progress of an important group of interests of those whom it endeavors to serve.-Chicago (Ills.) Chronicle. Says Democrata Will Treat Negro Fairly. The following letter explains itself: House of Representatives, U. S. Committee on Accounts, Washington, D. C. Nov. 9, 1911. Rev. Alexander Walters, New Bern, N. C. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor of the 6th inst., enclosing a communication from The New York Age. The statement made in that article is untrue. At the beginning of the session we reduced the number of employees of the House about twenty-five. It is true a few of these positions were held by colored men, but the reductions were made without regard to the color of the individuals holding the places. In fact, seven offices filled by white men were abolished to every one filled by a colored man. You will see, therefore, that there is no justification for the stance that the officers were dismissed their places might be white men, nor that there was any discrimination against men of either color. It is true that a position known as "Assistant Stenographer to Committee," which had been in existence when the officers were abolished, happened that this vice officer was filled by a colored man, Mr. Johnson, who, while he had rendered service to the Speaker, had never performed any regular duties with the stenographic force. I will say, there are a number of New York men here now, and I have information in no instance has a Negro been displaced by a white man. It is the purpose of the Democrats to treat the Negro fairly and to discriminate against no one, and one thing is sure—the Democrats have as much concern for the welfare of this colored man as for the fact, as a rule, when he wants a favor from a white man goes to a Democrat for it. THE CLEF CLUB CONCERT IN referring to the Clef Club 'Symphony Orchestra, which gave its fourth remai-annual concert at Manhattan Casino Thursday night, it can be said that the orchestra is one of the most unique musical organizations not only in the United States but in the world. Most likely some will think that this is giving the Clef Club too high a rating and will perhaps not regard such a statement seriously until the white press makes a similar assertion; nevertheless, recent investigations have brought to light that the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra is out of the ordinary in many respects. While other symphony orchestras can be found possessing the ability to delightfully render musical numbers as did the Clef Club last Thursday evening, the capabilities of the musicians usually stop at playing mandolins, bandoris, cellos, pianos and other musical instruments; for they are not singers and dancers. Then there are artists who have no difficulty entertaining at singing and dancing, but they play no instruments. The members of the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra, however, play instruments as well as dance and sing. Before a large and elegantly attired audience the Clet Club scored its usual success. Under the direction of James Roese Europe, assisted by William H. Tyers, this aggregation of versatile musicians produced melodious sounds which caused those in the audience to heavily applaud throughout the evening, convining all present that they were well qualified to give a symphony concert at Carnegie Hall or Mendelssohn Hall, and before a critical audience. The only criticism made of the program presented by the Cefl Club Symphony Orchestra last Thursday evening was that it was too long, which point seems to have been well taken. To give an entertainment lasting from shortly after 8 o'clock until nearly midnight, despite the fact that all of the numbers were good, is a little too trying on an audience. This is particularly true when there is no intermission throughout the entire performance. It has been the aim of the Cefl Club to always give the people full value for their money, and they have succeeded, but there is a saying to the effect that too much is as bad as not enough. There are so many clever musicians, singers and dancers in the Clef Club that an effort is made to give all an opportunity to participate in a concert; so aside from the symphony concert a vaudeville bill is also given. With such a wealth of talent the Clef Club would find it to its advantage if the symphony concert and the vaudeville performance were given separately in the future. Each is strong enough to stand without the other, and the move would please the public immensely. The symphony concert was chuck full of pretty numbers and rendered in the usual able manner, showing that the musicians had not rehearsed the various pieces one week but several weeks. The most inspiring number of the evening was a march, written and dedicated to the proposed colored regiment of New York by James Reeze Europe, called "The Strength of the Nation." The symphony orchestra was reinforced by a brass band under the direction of E. E. Thompson, and the musicians were compelled to play the march more than once. "Thoughts," by Will H. Dixon, "On Bended Knees," by Harry Burleigh, "Hula" and the "Lorraine Waltzes," both by James Reeze Europe, were also excellently rendered. The "Lorraine Waltzes" were conducted by William H. Tyers, who, despite the instructions of his physician, got out of a sick bed to be present at the concert and assist in directing the orchestra. Mr. Tyers was seriously injured in an automobile accident a few days before the concert. He was given a roaring reception by the members of the Clef Club when he made his appearance. Other numbers played by the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra were: "The Clef Club March," "Queentano," a Cuban intermezzo, by James M. Shaw; "Dance of the Marionettes," by Hugh Woodford and William H. Tyers; "Tout à Vous," "Panama," the latter composed by William H. Tyers; "In the Shadows" and the "Clef Club Chant." The vaudeville bill was under the management of William Parquette of That Scand'less Trio, and contained some very entertaining sketches. William Robinson, formerly of Cooper and Robinson, and George Henry appeared in an act which was easily the headliner. They should form a, team and go into vaudeville. Robinson, with his imaginary trombone, and Henry, with his little-tin life, furnished some pretty sweet music. Then they are both good dancers. If Henry and Robinson joined hands as a vaudeville team they would be one of the hits of the season. Arthur Rhone and Emry B. Smith also gave an artistic performance, and Ed. J. Brown, Jesse B. Wilson, Harry E. Hill and William Carle, members of the Eureka Quartet, gave evidence of why the quartet is always in demand. Tom Bethel, fresh from England, with an English accent and English clothes, showed how the Britons sing a coon song, rendering "My Dusky Maid." Other numbers which contributed to the success of the vaudeville bill were: "That Mysterious Rag." James Hunt: "In All My Dreams I Dream of You, Henry Sales: "In De Evening," Joe Boyd: "Honey Man," William Patrick: "When Elephants Roost in Trees," Black Primrose: "My Hero," Ras Jones: "Alexander's Ragtime Band," the Ragtime Octet: "Another Rag," William Parquette: "That's Why They Call Me Shine," George W. Waller: "You Can Never Catch Me There Again," Al Brown: "Mine," George Hamilton: "Get Over Me," Irving Wh CARP COMPANY liama; "The Harbor of Love" William F. Jakego Manhattan Casino presented an animated appearance with its beautiful decorations and hundreds of music-lovers fashionably attired in stunning costumes. Sprinkled here and there throughout the large audience were visitors who had come to New York with the express view of hearing the musical organization of which they had heard so much. After the concert E. E. Thompson's celebrated orchestra and the New Amsterdam Brass Band dispensed dance music to the delight of those personally interested in the terpsichorean art, and Old Sol was about to bid "Good morning" to Mother Earth when "Home Sweet Home" was played. Each time I attend a performance of the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra I leave Manhattan Casino more deeply impressed with the idea that some day the organization is going to make the devotees of music in New York sit up and take notice, irrespective of whether they be colored or white; for there is really some class to the Clef Club.

The bill at the Howard last week was something new in vaudeville to a Washington audience. Last week's bill was an excellent sign that Mr. Thomas is determined to present clean, high-class and elevating as well as entertaining vaudeville. Albert Bowers, Thelma the Great, was a most interesting female impersonator. The Kentucky Trio, consisting of Claybrooks, Miller and Claybrooks, made a very favorable impression. Mr. and Mrs. James Worles and Mr. Percell composed the Ginger Trio. Their work received a good stamp of approval. One of the most pleasing things about the bill last week was that most of the acts were new in MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1912 NEW STAR CASINO, LEXINGTON AVENUE and 107th STREET One of New York's Most Handsome and Thoroughly Equipped Places of Amusement THE FROGS Have the honor to announce their first Presentation of Original Plays, Sketches and Musical Compositions by its members, in connection with an Elaborate Ball; the most pretentious Entertainment ever attempted in New York.

The bill presented at the Dahney Theatre last week caused the management to hold the bill over for another week. The Ginger Girls, Lottie Gee and Effie King, are not new to Washington, and also never fall to prove a drawing card. It was pleasing to note the new songs and the beautiful new costumes the clever girls sprung on us this time. Clarence Nugent, a blackface comedian, is new to this place. His singing and dancing act was entertaining... The coming of Mrs. Aida Overton Walker and her All Star Company for the week of Thanksgiving is looked upon with great favor. The reserve seats are selling very rapidly. Everybody seems anxious to once more enjoy the pleasure of seeing and hearing theatrical performers. The Hiawatha Theatre still accommodates large crowds each night. Geo. W. Battles is always on the job with a new song, which he plays and sings with some more class. Clarence G. Wilson is playing the piano in the Howard Theatre orchestra. Prof. Alfred Ross, of New York City, is director of the Howard orchestra. He is rapidly shaping it into one of the finest in the city. W. W. Osborne of St. Louis, J. Sherman Hunnicutt of Wilberforce and W. P. Bayless were seen at the Howard Theatre last week. W.P.B. FROGS TO PRESENT PLAYS. At a meeting of The Frogs Wednesday this far-famed organization decided to give its first presentation of original plays, sketches and musical compositions by its members at the New Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue, on the evening of January 29. In The Frogs are the leading comedians, singers, playwrights of the race, and an effort will be made to present the most elaborate entertainment ever produced by colored artists in New York. After the show there will be dancing, and owing to the size of the New Star Casino hundreds of dancers can be accommodated without crowding. The New Star Casino, which is said to be the largest and most up to date place for entertainments in the city, handsonly equipped with all modern conveniences and in elaborate its appointment. It will be the first time that the colored amusement lovers of New York have had the use of the casino. All the members of The Frogs who are in the city on January 29 will positively appear on the stage. A number of the out-of-town members, including Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. Algenon N. Jackson of Philadelphia, and Edward D. Green, member of the Illinois Legislature, have signified their intentions of appearing as actors. The officers of The Frogs are: Bert A. Williams, president; Lester A. Walton, first vice-president; James Reese Europe, second vice-president; Alex Rogers, treasurer; John E.

Mack, Chairman of the National Committee and Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, favors the selection of James A. Ross of Buffalo for Democratic State leader. As yet Mr. Ross refuses to enter the fight for this place owing to his connection with the National Committee and the Negro Democratic League, but if the various colored Democratic leaders throughout the State are urging him to accept the place for the sake of harmony. Mr. 1. JAMES A. ROSS Ross will be acceptable to both factions as he has kept aloof from any factional fight in the State. His selection as the leader will probably take place in the spring primaries. Mr. Mack as State Chairman stated to a representative of THE ACE that he will only recognize as State leader a man who is elected by the regular organization of the State and one who can bring about harmony among the rank and file of Negro Democrats. Mr. Mack was especially emphatic in his remarks to impress your representative that the leader must be bona fide and express the sentiment of Negro Democracy through New York State. Mr. Mack declares that he does not want to name or force a leader on the Negro Democrats of the State, but as Mr. Ross has always been with him and the National Committee, he feels assured of his ability to bring about the desired result, believing that it would be beneficial to place a man in the position who does not have the endorsement of the New York State Chairman. The Negro Democracy up the state is united on the selection of Mr. Ross and will trust that greater New York accept the suggestion of Mr. Mack and make the selection meaningful. POLITICS IN MARYLAND. Democrats Will Be Unable to Make Another Attempt to Distranchise the Good Work Time—The Good Work of the Republican Auxiliary at Recent Election. Special to The New York Age Baltimore, Md., Nov. 15.—The Republicans of Maryland have begun to consider ways and means for the placing of their party in a decidedly stronger position. With the election as Governor of Phillips Lee Goldsborough, a halt will be called for the next two years at least of Democratic attempts at disfranchising the colored voters and of building up an invincible machine. The next Legislature, although it will be Democratic, will lack the necessary three-fifths majority to pass a disfranchising amendment or to pass a measure over the veto of the Governor. Some profess to see in the result a curtailing of the power of William F. Stone as boss of the party in this State Stone has been Collector of Customs here for the past twelve years, and first attained to the position of city leader. His sway in State politics was disputed by the late Congressman Wachter and former Congressman Jackson, the latter representing the Eastern Shore. Goldsborough lives at Cambridge, on the Eastern Shore, and is regarded as a protege of the Jacksons, William P. Jackson, the son of the former Congressman, being Republican National Committeeman for Maryland. The Stone regime has meant the gradual decline of the influence of colored voters in local party councils, and the starting of the Republican Auxiliary Committee. The Stone regime has meant the gradual decline of the influence of the race in the party councils and the organization of the Republican Auxiliary in the last weeks of the recent campaign plucked the last dying embers of race influence from the fire. Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes and the Rev. A. L. Gaines, president, secretary and treasurer, respectively, of the auxiliary, have been praised on all sides for their great work in arousing the colored voters and helping to bury the Digges disfranchising hills. In no small degree was their work responsible for the defeat of Arthur Pue Gorman, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who declared he would disfranchise every colored voter in Maryland if elected. Through the appointment of men of probity as election supervisors in the various counties Mr. Goldsborough can save to the Republicans hundreds of votes which have been lost by unfair manipulations of the ballots within the Wilson law counties in the past eight or nine years. Mr. Goldsborough will have the appointment of the members of the various state boards, and through the appointments can make the party appeal to the fair-minded intelligence of the State. Democratic politicians have since the election-spoken of the possibility of having the outgoing Legislature called in special session in order that Governor Goldsborough will find his hands tied when he assumes reins in January, but Governor Crothers has not lent a willing ear to the project as yet.

The session here was presided over by Robert L. Pendleton of Washington, the deceased head being too ill to attend. Much sympathy was expressed for him as well as fervent expressions for his recovery. The deceased was born in this city fifty-three years ago. He was educated in the public schools and the old Baltimore Normal School. For the past twenty-five years he had served as a clerk in the local postoffice. He was regarded as one of the best speakers in the city, and was one of those to deliver an address when the Business League met here several years ago. He is survived by his wife and one son. Prof. Harry T. Pratt, president of the local Business League, is a nephew of the deceased. Funeral services were held at St Mary's P. E. Church. Monday afternoon, solemn high mass being celebrated.
