BUY PROPERTY JUST THE SAME Agreements of Whites Not to Sell to Colored People Ineffective Negroes Purchasing Property in So-called Restricted Districts Despite Many Pledges INVASION TO CONTINUE So Think Members of Real Estate Brokers, Exchange—Negroes to Occupy Section From 131st to 145th Streets. Although organizations to prevent the settling of colored citizens in certain owners in certain sections in Harlem mushrooms over night, and some of the daily papers are charitably inclined enough to give much space to aims and objects of these organized bodies, the Negroes of Harlem are regarding the antics of the white property owners with unconcealed amusement and view the incident as a huge joke. So lightly do they regard the agreement made by the various organizations that they are buying property in the so-called restricted sections where patics have been entered into to keep the Negro out. For many times have passed those who distinguished what they consider a strategic move to keep the colored citizens from living in certain sections of Harlem will find that all their mental and physical energy so freely contributed to the movement, and the publicity given their pet scheme in the daily papers, have been for naught, and that the colored invasion goes merrily on. In training of both the property owners in certain sections in Harlem meet and pledge themselves not to rent, lease or sell to Negroes, which instrument is usually filed in the Register's office, the papers never mention that there are a number of white owning property who refuse to become a party to such agreement, and who at the first opportunity make overtures to colored real estate men to dispose of their property to Negroes. From one or two sales made recently, yet unknown to the members of different organizations, it also appears that there are some who, even after they have pledged themselves not to rent or sell to colored people, become afflicted with a mental wandering and apparently unmindful of the agreement entered into, sell or make an effort to sell to Negroes, knowing full well that if the agreement is taken to court it would not stand the acid test of the law. Discuss Negro Invasion. At the meeting of the Real Estate Brokers' Exchange last week the setting of Negroes in large numbers in Harlem was discussed and the conclusion reached that no matter how much agitation the white property owners made the colored population would continue to invade the restricted territory. It was the unanimous opinion of the real estate men that before the invasion by Negroes stopped the whites would be forced to give up that section between 131st street on the south at 145th street on the north, and frog Fifth avenue on the east to Eighth avenue on the west. Colored real estate brokers assert that the white property owners hurt themselves by agitating that Negroes be restricted from occupying houses in certain sections of Harlem, and that susceptibility in the daily papers has more harm than good. "Agitation of any kind does not tend to promote business," stated one broker to an Anti-Representative, "and if the property owners in Harlem are asked to decrease their mortgage it is due to the fact that the whites have made so much unnecessary noise that the people who buy mortgages are not disposed to pay money into real estate where there is so much undue discussion." Despite the clamor of whites that the property in Harlem has decreased in value the city officials do not seem to take a similar view, as the recent assessment shows that instead of having to pay less taxes the property owners have to pay more.

C., Dec. 12—During the month of November warrants were issued from the police department for seven more white people than Negroes, this result being an unusual one, and being regarded with interest by those connected with the police department.

WOMEN GIVE AID Empire State Federation for Women Clubs Makes Donations Toward Support of Harriet Tubman. The Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs is in receipt of a letter from the Board of Managers of the Harriet Tubman Home thinking the association for its generous donation toward the support of Harriet Tubman.

THE TRUE LIGHT IS AGAIN ON THE EARTH Foo talk about the Negro problem and the true Church problem. There has never been a more important subject, and the second coming of Christ as is now given this week is the True Light' newspaper, published by the True Light Army at 819, 325 and 330, and by the True Light newspaper, published by my light that Pastor Russell of Brooklyn and London Tarnabacle has ever given or anybody else ever has given in the warfare. Great is the man who can equal it or exert it, and it would be well and good in Christ to read what this great Archbishop of the Church of Glory, and founder of the True Light Army, has told us people the world over, for their true and immutable constitution. Fred J. Birkleigh, corresponding secretary, High School No. 186 Dwarfwell, New York, New York—Amy. During the conference the large influx of Negroes to Harlem was also discussed, and those conducting thirst emporiums in that section of the city promised to direct their efforts toward bettering conditions. An agreement has been entered into wherein the colored saloonmen in Harlem will make an effort to decrease the number of drunks among colored men. They have entered into a compact to the effect that all persons under the influence of liquor upon applying for indictment will be released. The general tendency of Negroes to support saloons and other business enterprises managed and owned by whites in Harlem were discussed, and plans will be made to equalize this support among the colored business institutions. EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN Booker T. Washington Sends Out Letter on Subject to Negroes of the South. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. TUSKEGEE, ALA., Dec. 12—Using as his subject "The Education of Our Children," Dr. Booker T. Washington has sent out a letter to the colored people of the south, as follows: This is a season of the year which for several years it has been my privilege to call the attention of our people to the importance of improving the facilities for public education. I mean the education of the masses of children in the small public schools. As I have said before, I think a very small percentage of the children of our race can be sent to any large boarding school. The masses must be educated at home in the small public schools if they are to get any education at all. We have observed in conditioning conditions in most parts of the South. I find that the people on the whole deserve the greatest degree of credit for their efforts to educate their children. In many cases they pay tax themselves, aside from what they pay in the Army. We have also built public schoolhouses and extend school terms. This is all commendable. We want, however, to be sure that we go forward every year. If we do not go forward in providing better school facilities for the poor, we would be educated in increasing each year. My special object in calling attention to this matter is to impress the ministers, business men, teachers and other leaders with the importance of having a good, comfortable, well-furnished schoolhouse, in every community, in the way of education, no matter how good a teacher may be secured, without a good comfortable schoolhouse. In many cases, especially in the Gulf States, the schoolhouses provided for the education of the Negro children are disgrateful. In some cases they are not fit for animals to stay in. It is important that teachers and pupils to compel them to sit in a cold, uncomfortable schoolhouse day by day. In such cases it is impossible for the children to learn anything. Each Community Asked to Lend Aid. The thing that I urge upon each community is that they unite their efforts this fall and winter in providing a good, comfortable schoolhouse. If every person will contribute a small amount in the way of money or labor or even a farm produce, few months' worth of comfortable schoolhouse can be built and furnished in every community in which our people live. Good schoolhouses will mean in the future good teachers and a school term lasting eight or nine months in the year. If those who read a good schoolhouse already already a good schoolhouse in their community, I earnestly beseach them to begin at once to building one. One other thing: often a large amount of the money put into a school building is almost thrown away, because no plan has been provided. the pubs and it makes me want to come to town for a drink. I don't know not be in town but should whether needs the town in the dron or cause the houses in and prosec Wherever their public stay continuing schoolhouse ple. I have cities near school in school lack of air faces can tional fac- tility us proper area where the have underst school build these schools must be public schools required to provide a means. Where it is necessary to establish beginner schools for preschoolers and other that meets the requirements, the offices and grounds of or other schools should be made to properly serve the two children, with our leaders and formulate them before the parents, and the needs, until prepared for our purpose in some of the schools of the colored district of school or are there because of the parents' proper education in the cities by concern needs on the basis. This should be community and city council authorities the task of providing I am glad to find that in many of the communities and cities of the South, creche schools schoolhouses are provided by an increasing degree for the education of the Negro child. But it is not a good ward stop because, but that we are a ward, both the country and city year by year is increasing decent, comfortable school facilities. In connection with what I have said in this letter, as a race must bear in mind the half of the colored children in the city, we do not attend any school full. Duties of all ditions are carefully changed, our race in this and accompanying generations will be greatly less neglected by insurance. L. L. A. A. ACCOUNTED Special to Teen News, June 4, 2013 ATLANTA, Gov. Dec. 12. In the Superior Court of Fulton County, B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, was laid back acquitted of the charge of being the suitor of A. Graves. A statement regarding this indictment was published in Tus. Az. some time later. The trial occupied the greater part of two days, and because of the circumstances of the conviction, large and obvious crowd to both races was attracted to the courts. Im. Although strenuous efforts were made by the prosecution to convict, it was evident from the start that the case against Davis was weak, and that proof of guilt was almost entirely lacking. After both sides had rested, the judge instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of no guilty. At the conclusion of the Davis was firmly congratulated by his friends upon his release. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, Washington, D. C., who defended Davis, has issued a statement to the public press. An extract follows: "Among the white people of Georgia no men brighter shine among its citizens than Hom. L. Z. Rosser, the magnificent lawyer; than G. Muse, the Christian merchant prince; than Hon. M. J. Yoeman, of Dawson, one of the most prominent of the white lawyers of Southwest Georgia; than the Hon. Obadiah Stephens, the distinguished Railroad Commissioner of the State. Of the best blood and the highest civilization of the Southland there is no more positive an exponent than Capt. Henry S. Jackson, the collector of United States Internal Revenue. Among the laboring men, none stand higher and brighter than T. J. Counts; among the ministers none more pious and devout than the Rev. Dr. Thomas Converser. These were among the white sponsors for the good name of B. J. Davis. Among the Negroes of Georgia, no business men have been more successful than he Dr. Skriskle, Conalys and Russells. No physicians more widely known and accomplished than the Penns and A. D. Jones. Among the ministers none whose life is more orderly, pious and distinguished than Dr. E. R. Carter. These were some of the colored men who willingly testified to the good character of B. J. Davis. PAS8 PHARMACY BOARD RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 12—At a recent meeting of the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy a larger per cent. of Negroes passed than ever before.

Much of the success of the applicants is due Dr. Clive W. Dunston, who formed a class of eight during surgery. Only fifteen of this number five passed. Only fifteen of the fifty-nine applicants who took the examination Tuesday to practice pharmacy succeeded in passing. The successful applicants were: B. J. Burnett, Oak City; Edward Ancrum, Maxton; L. C. Christian, Winston Sallem; Clive Wm. Dunstan, Raleigh; Miss Malewia Dye, Charlotte. St. Louis Elkah Hold Services. St. Louis, Mo.

Special Notice NEW YORK AGE. YAOO CITY, Miss., Dec. 12.—What was considered by all as the most important and beneficial session in the history of the M. W. Stringer Grand Lodge of F. A. and A. Masons of the State of Miss sissippi, was in Yazoo City last week The report of Charles Banks, Secretary and Treasurer, showed an expenditure during the past year of $230,000 in the payment of endowment benefits, leaving a balance on hand of $19,000. The monthly premiums on the insurance policies issued by the endowment department have been raised from $1 per month to $1.50, excepting the month of October, in which the premium is $2. The passage of this measure places the endowment department on a firm financial basis and was imperative because of the increasing high death rate. The large majority of the more thoughtful of the members of the order would have been satisfied with nothing less than a measure of this kind, for the endowment department is the ordee of Mississippi Masons, hence, out of the thousand delegates present at this sitting there were only three disentaining votes to the passage of this measure. It is conceded by all that the order will take on new life and large increase in the membership is confidently expected during the next twelve months. The order owns one thousand acres of the best delta land in the State, which is worth a million feet of water, and the order is also liable to the insurance company. The revenue accruing from this sale will be placed in the treasury of the endowment department. Hon. Chas. Banks, Secretary-Treasurer, has set a new standard in making financial reports of this kind. A more complete, more convincing, more systematized, terse and business-like report has not before been presented to any body of this kind. It was subjected to the secrecy and secrecy now join with all others in the opinion that it was the financial genius of Mr. Banks that kept the financial department up to the standard during the past twelve months. His straightforward and fearless business methods have endeared him to the fraternity in Mississippi, and his re-election shows that his friends are determined to retain his service for the expressed desire and efforts to resign and be relieved in order to devote his time to his other large financial interests. Grand Master W. A. J. Morgan, Deputy Grand Master W. W. Phillips, Grand Secretary G. S. Goodman, Grand Senior Warden, B. F. Lacey, Grand Junior Warden J. J. Merant, Grand Treasurer D. W. Gary, Grand Secretary-Treasurer Chas, Banks, Dr. E. B Topp, Editor of the New Light, and Business Manager T. G. Ewing were all reelected for the next year. Grand Lecturers Jerre Blow and K. S. Benson were re-appointed. The burial fund will hereafter be collected by Grand Treasurer. The goal was wielded with ability by Grand Master Morgan and Deputy Grand Master W. W. Phillips. The oratorical features of the session were the replies to the welcome addresses by Grand Attorney, L. J. Winton and Hon. P. W. Howard.

MUST DEVELOP MORE RACE PRIDE Alaine LeRey Locke Addresses Negro Society for Historical Research PLEA FOR NEGRO HISTORY Race in Need of a Consistent and Thorough-going Propaganda Along Historical Lines. NEGRO MUST REDEEM PAST Mr. Locke Thinks the Most Vital of Negro Problems is That of Self Respect and Corporate Pride. YONKERS, N. Y., Dec. 12.—Under the auspices of the Negro Society for Historical Research of Yonkers Alain Le Roy Locke, cf Philadelphia, ex Rhodes scholar from Pennsylvania to Oxford during 1907-10, and a present student of Berlin University, where he is studying for the degree of Ph. D., with a pass on "The Negro and African Trade Saturday." Mr. Locke is visiting mother in Philadelphia and will be this country until January. The ing was held at the home of the Rev. of Sunny Slope Cottage, and is only attended by local and non-communal guests. A general musical program was audited, which was followed by an introduction of the society's archives. Jacques Papater, the Negro of the University of Lyon, early 19th century, was a prominent historian. The speaker made a deliberate and consistent and thoroughgoing prognosis along historical lines, taking it to be the sanest way giving content and dignity to all specimen. Negro enterprises and organization. The American Negro, he believed, faces a difficult historical dilemma, and can only solve it through a voluntary adoption and reconstruction of his own tradition. The lasting injury of the slave regime, indeed, of his whole history in the country, has been to degrade his past and deprive him of his racial affiliations. In redeeming his cast, he may lay the redeem himself, at least in his own estimation, for the most vital of Negro institutions: self-respect and corporate pride. Effective and necessary as this self-respect and corporate pride is to the Negro for his practical progress in the country, a development of that pride and self-respect in intellectual and spiritual matters would not only react favorably upon his social condition in this country, but anticipate his ultimate solution of his own problem, and make it easier to live meanwhile under conditions as they are. The best way to light unfair distinction and discriminations is to begin to set up standards and contrasts of one's own, to replace and redeem the distinctions forced upon the race. The speaker was further of the opinion that nothing short of racial consciousness stretching out beyond racial consciousness. American Negro would satisfy the ultimate mental and spiritual needs of the Negro in this country. TRUE REFORMERS' ROW Removal of James H. Nutt as Chief of Maryland Division Makes Trouble. Special to THE NEW YORK AOR. BATIMORE, Md., Dec. 13.—The removal of James H. Nutt as chief of the Maryland Division of the True Reformers is expected to develop a big scrap for the order in this state and elsewhere. The removal was made by Grand Master Walter R. Griffin, and some of Nutt's friends claim he was not fairly dealt with. When Mr. Griffin came to this city a few days ago to install Hezekiah Brown, Nutt's supporters were so insistent in their claim that the head be given a chance to defend himself, if there were any charges against him, that the meeting broke up in disorder without Mr. Brown being formally inducted into office. He was declared installed, however, by Mr. Griffin. Mr. Nutt alleges that the order owes him over $2,000, and says he has documents to show that the property of the order at 310 St. Paul street had been deeded to him and his wife in consideration of monies advanced the order.

FROM "BISHOP" EVANS Mr. Editor: Will you kindly give me space in the columns of your paper to publish a letter of an evangelist which is interested in my profession and calling, in placing his letter in your paper. I do not see if there can be a gospel minister found anywhere in our race that can truthfully show this special evangelist exactly what I am. He claims that he has been reading after me, and cannot tell what I am, and yet he claims to be a God-made evangelist, and claims that he has the gift of the holy ghost, and speaks with new tongues, as did the apostles on the day of Pentecost, and he claims that the holy ghost is his guide to all truth; and yet he has the power to make am or whether I am true or not, and still he claims that he does not believe that there can be a man found in the whole world that can refute my statements, and he claims that he will go to work for me, let the results be what they will or may if he can be sure that I am what I say I am, and then he claims that he is acting honestly from his heart and wants to be sure that I am right, before he goes to work, and I ask for him, is there a minister anywhere in the Negro race that is not too bliss and selfish, to come what I am, and I am sure that I am what I am, if there is no one found that can tell him who I am, or what I am, for all people interested in the works of Christ and God, for the salvation of the Negro people and other people, read my answer to his letter, which answer I have. I have a book on my paper. The True Light, which I am publishing at 325, 326 and 337 West 41st street, New York, N. Y., and the answer I have made to him falls to show him what I am, who I am, by his request, if he still confesses, that he cannot see him in the columns of my own paper on the things he is looking for, and the next reply I will make to him I am going to prove by the honest people that read my reply that I am the Very Greatest-Messenger of God that has ever been sent to the people that he is calling to the end of the line in the line of Godliness and Christian righteousness, which is of God and Christ the Lord of Glory. The answer that I will give in my next reply will shake the fortitudes of every false teacher in the world to such a degree that all men shall see the end of the world over. His letter is as follows; it speaks for itself. Read it carefully and consider well, and then tell him the truth whoever can, do so, do it, to the glory of God. His letter reads thus: Kansas City, Mo. Now, 25, 1911. 2445 Flora Avenue. Archbishop Justus J. Evans, D.G., 319, 325 and 337 West Forty-first Street, New York City, N. Y. Dear Beloved Bishop: Your letter of the 21st inst. to hand, contents noted, and in reply, will say that all that you have written to me, in trying to enlighten me, that I am able to re- quire you to help me understand what I cannot understand. I must frankly confess to you, that I must let it alone until I can get such in- formation, that seem to me to be feasible. Not that I say that what you say is not true, but it is, I confess, beyond my understanding, in the way that the light that you claim to have, the declaration you make of yourself as being Michael, "The Archangel." that the scriptures speaks of, I will say is a statement that you make that I cannot understand, that is, I am am- able to understand it according to my understanding of the scriptures, as being as you say, that same Angel Michael. And will preach it holdly now if I am informed by you in any way that what you say are to happen according to God's word, then I am ready to do anything that will do you any good, and I will preach it to you any good made preacher. I am open to preach anything that will build up the Kingdom of God, and the edifying of his saints. I must say that I do not new believe that there is a man living today that can rewrite any of your stories.

All persons who have pledged claim that they will pay money in monthly payment on the first of January, 1912. THE ANSWER: All right, brother Carroll, you may say to the people of our race in Louisiana, that in proportion as they honor God, and do as I say, will he bless them, and prosper them; and for me the people of our race in Louisiana, Christ Jesus, the King of Glory, now wants them to do, now in order to live and prosper, in peace, in America and in all the world. It is very expedient that a branch of the High Educational College of Glory be established in their midst for evidence, see Mighn and McGee, "The People of the World," and you to tell the people that I say that I will not mislead them, or even try to fool God a people, not for my life, so for all the wealth that there is in the whole world; they need not doubt me nor anything that I say, or may say; as soon as the people of our people wake up to their duty, and send a scribe to our cause, it will be easy for us to establish a branch of this Grand' Supreme Divine National Negro College of Glory in every city and town in which as many as 50 to 100 of our people live, in all the world. So we will open up a branch of our College of Glory in Winfield. I will see to it that you shall not fall. E. HUNTER 6 EAST 133RD STREET 4 rooms and bath.

SMITH 218 West 64th St 4th HW Reduction of Southern Representation in Republican National Committee Discussed—Gena, Powell, Clayton Talks—Other News. Washington, D. C., Dec. 12. The meeting of the Republican National Committee at the New Willard during the past week was by far the most important political event which has taken place in these parts for many days. It was noticeable that there were but a few candidates and about the corridors of the hotel, there being none at present connected with the committee. The most important question, however, which came up before the meeting was that of the reduction in the number of candidates was bitterly opposed by Gen. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. He based his opposition on the ground that such reduction would increase by far the power of nine Northern commercial States and enable them by electing candidates to win elections, whereas, at present, this control can be gained only through a combination of thirteen or more States, all not commercial in character and controlled by what is known as the "big interests." In speaking of the re-election of Gen. Powell Clayton under discussion, Gen. Powell Clayton had the following to say. "It cannot be said that the action of the convention lost us a single vote at the polls when they adhered to the time-honored plan of apportionment. If the Burke motion for reappointment had prevailed, who can estimate the thousands of votes that might have been turned up against by reason of the rank injustice of supplementing Democratic disfranchishment of American citizens (Negroes) in the South by corresponding disfranchishment in our conventions. The colored citizens of these and other States would be more than human if they did not present at the polls such an intolerance that their brothers in the South are enduring, would seem to justify them in making terms with the party into whose keeping their rights seem already to have been relegated. I am glad to see that the question will be revived in the next National Convention, in which case hope will be thoroughly raised and will be thoroughly five-minute rule such as prevailed in the last, so that it may be finally settled." A formal appeal to the Department of Justice has been made in the case of Mattie Lomax, the colored woman who was convicted of murder here and who was granted the right to be granted by President Taft for ninety days. The Lomax woman is suffering with a severe case of tuberculosis and it is thought that she will have but a few days to recover. The principal reason for asking the reprieve is stated as a grave doubt as to the degree of guilt of the convicted woman. The petition will go to Attorney-Gen. Dickman within a week and will come before the President shortly before Christmas. A meeting of the Alumni Association of Howard University was held in Rankin Memorial Chapel last Saturday night and the newly drafted candidate for the position of treasurer of theift. There was a section which provided that after 1912 all members of the Alumni Association should be graduates of the degree giving schools of the university. This section was entitled to obtain a degree from the master of the instrument adopted without a hitch. It is asserted that this question will come up at a later date. The younger progressive men who wished to see this section of the constitution go into effect are casting an interest in the instrument composed only of graduates of the schools spoken of. The newly adopted constitution provides for an executive committee and a rules committee to be appointed later by the president, and the secretary of the institution for seven vice-presidents a secretary, a financial secretary and a treasurer. It further stipulates that the executive committee shall consist of the officers of the association together with fifteen other members and that it shall have a secretary and a treasurer of the association when that body is not in session. A committee of one hundred citizens with Prof. John W. Cromwell, chairman, and Shelby J. Davidson, secretary, held a memorial meeting in honor of the late Justice John M. Church on Monday last, the principal address being made by W. Justin Carter, of Harrinburg. Resolutions were presented by Judge Robert H. Terrell and seconded by Harry S. Cummings. The date of the exercises, December H., was commemorated with a anniversary of the appointment of Justice Harlan to the Supreme bench. The Intramural Chess Club has planned a thorough tournament for the forthcoming chess season and is increasing its membership accorded to the residence of Nathaniel Guy, George H. Murray was chosen president; Prof Alonzo Brown, vice-president; Edward H. Lawson, secretary; and Albert G. Knorl, treasurer; Nathaniel G. Knorl, treasurer; and Edward H. Lawson, secretary; and New honorary members were put up for election and the name of Dr. John R. Francis chosen. Edward J. Braithwaite was also elected to membership. The club is now in the process of being formed and is about to take over its honorary members into active membership. . The Lexington Hotel, at the corner of 21st and L. streets, being an apartment house composed of thirty-two rooms, has been turned over to colored people and will be established as a first-class hotel. Miller addressed the Council of Upper Classmen at Howard University last week on the "Higher Education of the Negro in the Light of Newer Conditions." Robert Harlan, Jr., and Mrs. Nettie Langston Harlan are being congratulated by their many friends because of the success of their child in winning a silver cup filled with gold in the re-creation conducted by the Washington Herald. Miss Sadie Dornette is spending some of her leisure time in Washington conducting classes at the National Training School. Mrs. James P.

Dr. Maynard after spending a few weeks here will go to San Antonio, Texas, where he will practice his profession. He finished at the Boston City Hospital. He is a man of very high ideas and very much interested in the uplift and advancement of his people. Mr. and Mrs. John S. King, parents of Mrs. Elizabeth King Reaves, the wife of German A. Reaves, the representative of The Age, has removed from their mine claim near Prescott, Ariz. to Los Angeles, Cal., where they have purchased a little home. Mrs. Maynard is also a member in Prescott. Mr. Reavis has never met his parents-in-law. He hopes to pay them a long visit in the near future. About-eight or nine months ago the colored people of this town, wishing a place to worship which they could see and worship, and their own way, established a little mission in the Old Liberty building on Howard street. Having no regular pastor they listened to several missionaries. We are glad to say that we have established a nice little church home and a little missionary school from strange churches anywhere. The founder, the Rev. Simpson, has given his name a glorious welcome into every church-going man's heart. He suddenly disappeared and nothing has been heard of him wherever he is. We are grateful to him, and we would be glad to see him at any time or hear from him. The Sunday School is superintended by Fyatt Lee Reynolds. The morning and evening services are as regular as other churches, and we have helped them to entertainments to help to define expenses. We have been honorably taught by the Rev. Mr. Weeks for the last few weeks and enveloped his teachings heartily. Our treasurer, Fred Jackson, the street is doing much good at the head. The Finance Committee, Johus Legran, Richard Tyne and William Jones are also doing much. Our few ladies are instrumental in the work. We trust our white friends, one of which is of much service to us in every way, and that is the Rev. Mr. Howes of the Park Street Baptist Church. We trust that this mission, now called the Mount Carmel Mission, will grow to be a great hope of worship for our people, on that the ministries will grow in size, power and interest. Syracuse, N. Y.

A recent issue of the Montgomery Advertiser calls attention to a speech made by Governor Emmet O'Neal before the Conference of the A. M. E. Church recently in session at Montgomery, Ala. It is interesting to us to note how these colored people in the South get on with leading officials. Seldom or never does one read of the Governor of a Northern State attending any of the conferences of our people, nor do we read of any of them offering words of advice which will help to encourage colored people to better living. As a rule, Northern Governors are never to be found around colored people except when they are seeking their votes. The report of this incident in the far South, however, is so interesting that we are publishing it herewith just as it appears in the Advertiser: The fourth day's session of the A. M. Conference, which is in session at the Madison Avenue Church, was a gala day for Negro Methodists of the State. The principal feature of the day being an ad drawn by Governor Emmet O'Neal, who had been invited to speak before the conference. At high noon all available space in the auditorium was filled by Negroes who had turned out to do honor to the chief magistrate of Alabama. A committee headed by Rev. L. P. Leppe, the pastor of the church, and the governor in front of the church and escorted him to the platform. Dr. W. B. Minon, of Selma, Ala., made the adoration consisting him to Rt. Rev. H. P. Parry, the minister to the congregation. Introduced the governor to the congregation the malte was girls, amid long昏睡. Governor O'Neal assured the existence of his sympathy for and interest in the Negro ministry. He said: "the close counts for so much in the upbringing and advancement of your people as does the Negro ministry. It is for the interest of the white man as well as the black man to have the Negro educated in the culture and handicrafts of our civilization. To allow the Negro to remain strong in ignorant and vile may prove to be a weight about our necks to drag us down. When in New York some weeks ago, I was interviewed by The New York Journal. In answer to the question, was the Negro uncontrollable thirst for strong drink responsible for the failure of prohibition in the South. I said emphatically, so I was born and roared among Negroes and for twenty-five years I practiced at the bar in Lansdale County, yet I did not small two Negroes who were confirmed束缚. I can never forget the loyalty of your man during the Civil War. History does not recount another instance of a curved race exhibited such loyalty the member as has been exhibited by the American Negro. I can never forget And as long as I occupy the government I shall do all in my power that those handed justice is meted to every citizen of this Commonwealth, to be safe or poor, black or white." At the close of the reply a resolution of Canada will offered the Governor. When strong men like Governor Olal are willing to speak out openly in praise of the loyalty of Negroes and in determined assurance of his intention to mute out even-handed justice to blacks and whites alike they are entitled to our thanks. For one, THE AGE intends to give proper report to all such incidents. It is the kind of thing for which we publish this newspaper. And now, it is said, China may be divided, with a republic in the South and a monarchy in the North. But China as anything but a brutal despotism will be great gain for progress, for hope for 300,000,000 who are ground in powder to support a corrupt dynastic system. Turkey has long been regarded as the Sick Man of Europe. Germany is now feared upon as the Sick Man of Africa. In its contempt for the natives of its colonies Germany stands next to Belgium at the head of the procession. That France has got the better of German in the Morocco dispute is matter of disagreement for the natives, whose business is some sort French policy alligators.

It is an important NOW CAN SUCK, CHEESE HAP- PEN IN THIS NATION? On December 5 T. B. Walker, a Negro, was hanged at Washington; Ga., at 2 o'clock, for the killing of Charles S. Hollinhead. At 11 o'clock of the same day, while Walker was standing before the judge in the Superior Court room and being re-sentenced to be hanged, and before the judge had concluded the sentence, John C. Hollinhead, a brother of the dead man, "arose from his seat, drew a pistol and fired point-blank at the Negro. The bullet took effect in the Negro's face, entering his right cheek, going through his mouth and coming out below the left jaw." Horror! He fell to the floor, horribly mangled, but doctors decided that he was not fatally wounded, and "after his face was bandaged he was lifted from the floor and supported by court officials while the judge finished the death sentence, ordering that the Negro be hanged at 2 o'clock. With a bloody bandage about his face the Negro was assisted to the scaffold at the hour named and executed." The news dispatch continues as follows: The man who shot the Negro collapsed after firing the shot and is under the care of physician. He will not be prosecuted for shooting the Negro. The Negro who was hanged had twice before escaped death for the murder of Holllinhead six weeks ago. The night after the murder he was caught by a mob, but escaped as he was strung up. A few days later he was captured by officers, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged last Thursday. On the eve of execution he again escaped. He was recaptured Sunday and the judge fixed to day for the purpose of resentencing. The hour of execution was fixed immediately after sentence, as it was feared, if more time were allowed, the Negro would escape again or would be lynched. "He will not be prosecuted for shooting the Negro." Georgia justice will not punish him, but there is another Justice that will. It is invisible, swift and sure. It will rot his bones in his flesh in his lifetime and blot out his name and blight his town of Washington when he is dead! The man Hollinhead was a merchant, Walker's wife went to his store to make a purchase and he attempted to outrage her. She escaped and, reaching home, told her husband, who went to the store and killed Hollinhead. In The Age of November 16 we had the following editorial note, written Lefore we had seen in print Walker's provocation for killing Hollinhead: It is hard to believe that any good thing can come out of whiskey. The dead water and the fire spirit of it have killed more people, destroyed more property and happiness, than an army with banners or machine gun. And yet, down in Georgia, at Washington, whiskey saved a Negro from being lynched and burned. It happened this way: A white merchant named Hollenbeck 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 sherif captured Walker, but he was overpowered by fifty of Washington's best white citizens—best of the white men, the best 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. Walter 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. Here we have at Washington, Ga., a case of like mob, like judge, like people! All crazy drunk when sober and drunk sober when crazy. They have no respect for themselves, they have no respect for the law of man or of the Lord their God! Each is a law unto himself, from the drunkard falling down beneath a tree while seeking to strangle a man for defending his wife's honor to the judge on the bench sputtering a death sentence into the ears of a man murderously assaulted while listening to his coom! "He will not be prosecuted," says the dispatch of the living assassin. But he will be. So also will be the judge who overlooked and condoned the contempt of court of shooting a man while receiving sentence. So also will be the town and the people of the town of Washington, where such crimes are committed. There is no escape. The Lord their God has written it in letters of fire on the brow of every son of Cain and saith "Thou shalt do no murder!" How can such crimes be committed in the name of Georgia, in the name of the United States, without provoking the lightnings and the thunderings of Mt. Sinai? "La Follette People in Gloom!" says a news dispatch headline. Perhaps; but gloom writes no shadows on the brook of Wisconsin's exuberant Robert Marion L. --- Gen. Edwards, of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, declares that Porto Ricans should have citizenship as a matter of justice and in order to curb political unrest in the Island. Taxation without representation is inconsistent with American principles of government, and yet we have plenty of it, not only in the case of Porto Rico, but in that of every Southern State. Consistency is a jewel that does not always glitter in the diadem of the Republic. And as often as the nation disguises it from its calling the nation has misguided itself. A great many people have a notion that the man behind the newspaper is a veiled prophet, who has only to dip his pen in black ink to utter oracular opinions that shake the world; and that far from eating bread and meat and wearing such clothing and living in such abodes as other people, he really feeds on coriander seed and nectar of the gods, furnished him from heaven free, express charges prepaid, wears purple and fine linen woven by invisible hands and lives in castles in the air that follow him about like floating clouds. Some editors foster this view of the matter. It flatters their conceit to have the impression obtain that they are not as other men. But nothing is further from the truth. The average editor lives in such close touch with all phases of life as to be a throbbing, actuating part of it, speaking only and as nearly as possible the hopes and disappointments, the desires, of his reader of the man before the newspaper, who reads it to find a 'reflection of his own thoughts and desires in it, and he eats and wears and abides in the best that his means will allow him to pay for. THE AGE has always endeavored to live in the closest possible touch with its average reader; to study and to reflect his best thought and hope; to study the nature of and to promote and protect his moral, material and public interests. That is the highest and best aim of the man behind the newspaper, and which appeals most and should do so to the man before the newspaper. The success which THE AGE has enjoyed for a long series of years is the best possible proof that a large number of people look to it for a mirroring of their own opinions, as in a looking glass; but it is in no spirit of fault-finding that we say that THE AGE has not as large a circulation as it should have, or is paid for as promptly and regularly as the best interests of the paper and of its patrons make necessary to secure the best results; that is, the presentation of the Negro's case in law and equity and in morals and materialities in the best possible thought and expression of thought and mechanical makeup. Fine thoughts, like diamonds and pearls, require the finest mechanical setting to show to the best advantage. A diamond in the clay is on a par with pebbles of useless value other than as soil in the rough. The reader owes the editor, the publisher, as much as the publisher owes the reader. Their interests are reciprocal; no different from the relation of grocer and buyer, in which the one expects full value and the other correct weight and measure. The man behind the newspaper is as necessary to the man before the newspaper as the man before the newspaper is to the man behind the newspaper. In the last analysis it reduces itself simply to a business proposition between two parties, each of whom expects the other to "deal fair." Failure of either to do so weakens both. The newspaper is a public servant in the highest sense. It is a watchman on the outer walls. When it is less than this it becomes a menace to the public welfare, such as several daily fire-brands of the sort we have in New York. There never was a time in the history of the Negro people in New York, and in the nation as well, when they needed more than now a newspaper of the character and antecedents of THE AGE—not as a purveyor of small gossip and transient doings, but as a purveyor of the highest and best the race is doing everywhere and as a clarion voice, unugaged, stating the race's case in law and equity and in morals and materialities so that it may be heard above the Babelism of voices which wrong and rob and murder the race "without due process of law." THE BUGLE CALL TO DUTY No one can read the census figures which have recently been published without being forced to the conclusion that the Negro race is not increasing so fast in numbers as is desirable, nor is the increase so large as it was some years ago. We make this statement disregarding the fact that we know mistakes have been made and many Negroes in the Southern States especially have not been counted. Our own doctors are almost unanimous in the opinion that in the large cities of the North the death rate of the Negro race is much larger than is true of the white race, and but for the immigration from the South the Negro would soon cease to appear in large numbers in Northern cities. The death rate in the large cities of the South is too large. All this indicates a "bugle call to duty" on the part of the Negro minister, Negro teacher and other leaders. They should not mince words, but should get right down to business, in the pulpit, in the schoolroom and everywhere, and teach our people how to live and how to keep themselves clean, how to protect their bodies from cold, how to get plenty of good air and clothes, and how to secure and eat good, fresh food. If we do not give immediate attention to the health of the Negro the end of the next decade will show a serious condition of affairs. No amount of time and money spent in yelling for the "freedom" and rights of the Negro can help him much unless he has a strong vision. The New York Sun says: "Every man's hand in against the lion. His destruction is encouraged by all the governments of Africa, and the occupation of most parts of the continent by the white race is likely, before a great many years, to close his history, except in a few instances." Not only is the hand of man against the lion, but the lion is against himself, refusing to herd with other beasts qr with his own kind, except his female. Like venomous reptiles, he prefers solitude and the companionship of his female. By the way, the male tiger of India is the female lion of Africa. A study of this peculiar phase of the subject, at the Zoological Gardens in the Bronx last summer, by the writer proved of absorbing interest. Among other things it recalled the fact that Mr. Darwin's theory is generally accepted that man is descended from the ape race; but Mr. Darwin's face betrays him, as it is apish in contour, and man is prone to act and think, in some sort, as the animal, bird or fish type of which he is a species. For example, Charles Summer had a lion's face and mane and a lion's grandeur in purpose and thought, massive at every angle of him. On the other hand, his great friend and co-worker, Wendell Phillips, had the features and the beak of an eagle, with broad sweeps of eloquence that woke the echoes in the mountains and the valleys of sound. So with the massive lion face and mane of Frederick Douglass, who swayed vast audiences of people as a reed is shaken by the wind, by the flash of his eyes, by the ring of his voice. The disappearance of the lion from Africa should be peculiarly suggestive to Christian people as prophecy uttered by Jacob, that is Israel, in blessing his sons when he came to die. Of the fourth son of Leah he said (Gen. xlix, 8-12): "Judah is a lion's whelly; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, be couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall raise him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawyer from between his best, until Shiloh come, and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his aas's coil unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine and his clothes in the blood of grapes; his eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk." Now, on his father side Jesus came of Judah of Leah and on his mother's side of Ben-oni of Rachel, so that he was a half and not a whole lion of Judah, "Out of Egypt have I called my son," saith the Scriptures, so that the passing of the lion of Africa has a deeper meaning than appears in the text-books of theological schools or the sermons of learned preachers of the Word. And the Negro race in America have more interest in all of it than any other sort of people. CANNING CLUBS It is most interesting to see how in the old Southern States the white people, especially white women, are changing their ideas of civilization and education. A few years ago the Southern white girl was educated only in the "accomplishments." This meant something in music, a smattering of painting and some knowledge of literature. All that is changing for the Southern white woman. She is beginning to study science; she is taking courses in applied sciences and industrial education, and one of the most interesting and far-reaching movements in this direction is indicated by the fact that throughout the South white women are organizing themselves into canning clubs. Fruits and vegetables which a few years ago were either not raised or were raised but were little cared for are now being canned during the summer for use in the winter. There is a great lesson in all this for the Negro mother and the Negro girl. He knew, who said, "A sorrow's crown of sorrows is remembering happier things." 一 People who get tired of living and decide to cut it short hit upon some queer ways and places to do it. For instance, a man last week selected the Trenton, N. J., reservoir in which to drown himself, although there were two canals and the Delaware river in hailing distance that would have served the purpose as satisfactorily to him and vastly more so to the people of Trenton who drink reservoir water. Some people are selfish and thoughtless even in selecting the manner of leaving the world. than last year. Dependant families are on the increase in New York, while the charitable people who give for the relief of such are decreasing in their giving. High cost of living, with no increase in wage earnings, will make dependent families anywhere unless those concerned seek cheaper and healthier conditions in the country districts near New York City. This they do not do or seem disposed to do. Magistrate Breen, of this town, laid down some good doctrine in a strike-breaker case recently when he said: sport, as in all of the United States of life, or they get separated from their rabbit's foot, as Col. Pidgger, of Georgia, laughingly used to put it. All of the readers of The Ack are interested in chickens. No other fowl has so firm a hold upon their imaginations and appetites, although it is among the most sapless and unnutritious of food products. The Empire Poultry Association of New York held their fifth annual exhibition at Grand Central Palace last week, and there was a whole money to the financial names of each cla "This is a serious matter. We see where murder had been confessed. The confession of the McNamara is going to do more to uplift and advance union labor than anything in the last century. Present conditions in our country demonstrate that no man is above the law. No man or class of men can obtain their ends by riot or murder. The people of this country demand law an dorder." But the magistrate should keep the local situation in mind. It should be enforced by courts that the people of New York demand law and order. are mankind degenerating into vulgararians? George Bernard Shaw, the famous English author and playwright, in a London tablegram, talking about the rude and boisterous reception a few Irish New Yorkers gave "The Playboy of the Western World," says: "I doubt if ever there was a country in the world's history where the men were so ashamed of being decent and sober and well spoken as they are in America!" What do you think of that? Again, says he: "The atmosphere of violence, drunkenness, obscurity and blasphemy is the whole of American civilization in many districts, as it is of four-fifths of modern civilization everywhere." This is a very sweeping indictment, but those who have observed much at home and in extensive travel will not dispute it. Nor will be disputed that the rapid and widespread drinking habit, in private and public, is responsible, more than any other one thing, for it. Drinking from the tenement house growler to the Hotel Astor champagne bottle has been the demoralizing curse of mankind, as the Spirit that hitched the habit on Noah and Lot intended that it should be. The Cotton Holders' Movement of the South has secured a loan of $50,000,000 from a New York syndicate to enable them to hold their cotton for higher prices. Is not this also a movement in restraint of trade—the cotton trade, one of the most extensive and important we have? Millions of factory operatives in America and Europe depend for their daily bread upon the supply of Southern raw cotton at the prevailing market price—the price at which manufacturers of cotton fabrics have made contracts with their customers for delivery of goods. There is nothing in the President's annual message to Congress to call for special editorial treatment. It is a trust message. There is nothing new in it, the President's courage of his conviction that trust laws, like other laws, must be enforced being good, but not new. The nation is constrained to admire a President who insists that laws shall be enforced. As a matter of fact, there are too many laws. State and Federal, that are not enforced. And yet every year we have an avalanche of new laws to add to the mountain of old laws that serve mainly to make profitable business for lawyers and expensive and troublesome business for litigants. The statement of Mr. Walter Brown, chairman of the Ohio Republican State Committee, that Col. Roosevelt is the first choice of Ohio Republicans for President, and the later statement of ex-Governor Edward C. Stokes, the leader of New Jersey Republicans, that while New Jersey Republicans expect the renomination of President Taft, "it might be necessary to select someone not now an ayowed candidate" and "naturally turn to Col. Roosevelt," and the later statement of Congressman Longworth, Col. Roosevelt's son-in-law, that he is discouraging the movement to nominate the Colonel next year—all of it goes to make the political situation full of the thrills that uncertainty hatches. Sometimes when men become very successful in any given direction they get haughty and overbearing and do not think as well of their obligations as they did when they were at the bottom of the human heap. Theatrical stars and Fistiana champions are among the most common of offenders in this division of the successful. Jack Johnson, who owes Australia a great deal because it was kind to him in his rising days, had, it is said, a contract with Hugh McIntosh to fight in Sydney, New South Wales, in the Christmas days, but after he got to England he liked the situation so well, although the authorities would not allow him to pull off a finish fight, that he threw up his Australian engagement. Now Hugh McIntosh announces that Sam Langford and Sam McVey will fight a twenty-round go in Sydney, December 25, and "that the winner will be hailed champion of the world, in much as Jack Johnson has referred to offer to win the A sport, as in all of the built-in facilities of life, or they get separated from their rabbit's foot, as Col. Pidger, of Georgia, laughingly used to put it. All of the readers of The Aux are interested in chickens. No other fowl has so firm a hold upon their imaginations and appetites, although it is among the most sapless and unnutritious of food products. The Empire Poultry Association of New York held their fifth annual exhibition at Grand Central Palace last week, and there was a whole mile of coops and 3,500 entries, representing the greatest aggregation of fowls ever brought under one roof in the State. The poultry industry is one of the most important and profitable in all parts of the world. In the Far East—Japan, China and the Philippines—chicken is a more necessary article of food than in the United States. They raise the smallest and prettiest chickens in Japan we ever saw, some of them being as small as the turtle dove. Some people think chicken-raising easy, and it costs them much time and money to find out their mistake. Far from being easy, it is very difficult, requiring thorough knowledge and constant attention in order to get the best results. Not a hundred miles from New York we once lost 140 game chickens by two visits of people unknown to us, who knew how to raise them in the night better than we knew how to raise them in the day, and at less expense of time and money. Princess Eulalie, the aunt of the young King of Spain, who resides in Paris, has written a book that, it is said, will make a stir in many directions. The King commanded his aunt not to publish the book until he had a chance to blue pencil it, and his aunt told the King to attend to his own business. The aunt is 47 and the King is 25, but it is doubtful if the King will be as wise in the ways of the world when he dies as the Princess is now. She believes in divorce as necessary and useful, "as moral women are more moral, more virtuous and more sober than men," she says. In another place she says: "It is said to be sufficient for a woman to be beautiful and a mother. That is disguised stupidity. A woman like a man is entitled to complete development of her faculties." Now, the matter with the Princess is that she is not a woman, but a female. She is complete in herself, and needs no man for comfort, and separated from the one she had because he treated her as if she were a woman instead of a female. What's the difference betwixt the two? Figure it: Having defied her nephew, the aunt forfeits her rights at the court of Spain. She says she never loved it and forfeits it without regret. Rebellion of woman against the authority of man is in full swing. MEN AND MEASURES. To the Editor of The Age: It has been some time since I have attempted to speak through your paper, but it is not because I have lost any interest in the progress of the church, nor the welfare of the race. But it is because I have been too busy to write. In fact, in fact I wrote "What the Church and the Race Should Do" until it is hardly possible to speak upon the subject without repeating what others have said. It has been many years since there has been as much lynching as has been witnessed this year. One of the reasons is that not send missionaries to this country to Christianize this people, rather than send them abroad to save the heathens, for no nation of people are guilty of such total disregard for human rights and human life as are this nation, unless it be the Russians or Chinese; and if the Russians is no longer confined to the South, or the North, East and West as well. The black man is opening his eyes, however, for he is no longer looking to the Republican party as his savior, for in keeping with the injunction of our friends with the Mammans of unrighteousness (or the Democratic party), that when the Republican party casts them out (as they have about done) the Democrats might take them in. I am a Republican and have the principle of not being tradicted fact that the Republican party of to-day is not the Republicans of the years gone by, and if you have any doubt of this, take a look at the condition in your commonwealths, and you will see the places once filled by the Democrats of opportunity and hope that were opened to them are closed, and while the Republicans are cursing the Democrats about their treatment toward the Negro in the South, this same Republican, as a rule, is closing the doors of opportunity where and taking from him the chance to make bread for his family. I have made six visits through the Democratic South within the past 12 months, and I find in all the State Houses, not only jailitors, but messengers and clerks and guards appointed by the lieutenant governor, and edited on the Democratic tickets to set in the city council and other places of trust and honor. Hence, the Southern blacks are dividing their votes among every kind of a party that a white man is in. Like all other people it is the duty of the lieutenant governor to look out for his own best interest the affairs of races so long as he does not sell out his race, or do any dishonorable act or deed to obtain it. "The judge of all earth will do right, the reaping time will sure come. Oh, what shall the harbor be? What is the A. M. E. Chirnidge doing to kill the race? We know she has done great things in the past, but we cannot live on the record of the past alone, we must do something to-day. I think the Mormons have, in one respect to pay the least, set a splendid example that we might profitably follow. That is why we must deal with it, and find it to our people in ten, twenty fifty and one hundred more tractors and give them an opportunity to pay for it. many body, as well as his character and his soul. Our church has always stood for men as well as his character and his soul. Our church has always stood for men as well as measurement. There is the C. P. A. which should not only be made a reality as an insurance company for our ministers and their families, but for the members of our churches and congregations of good moral character as well. Let the members of our churches pass a law that will not only promote the worn-out ministers, widows and children and care for the missionary preachers—give them a fair sum, and pay it quarterly or monthly, not create money to the finance company, with the names of each claimant, and secretary in turn send their money monthly or quarterly, as he does all other claimants. I believe in making the law apply so that the money may accomplish more with her money for the uplift of its people than in the past. And now a word about me: The A.M. E. Church has a large number of splendid men, both in its ministry and laity, and many of them are, either and many of them are, either or own accords aspirants for place and preemence in their church. This is no disgrace or crime, as I understand it for any faithful hardworking honest Christian should be allowed to aspirate the next General Conference may see them and should feel mitreated or insulted because voters do not seem to select them as their choice. Among the splendid characters from which the delegates to the next General Conference may see them, W. W. Beckett, G. J. Jolie, M. Conner, W. D. Chappell, S. P. Roberts, J. H. Jones, T. N. M. Smith, R. L. Beal, J. P. Peck, M. M. Ponton, I. N. Ross, B. R. Rooks, A. H. Attaway, T. R. Bean and others, all of whom are good preachers and a kindness of some of these good men. But cannot for want of time and space, however, they are all known throughout the church, and I feel that, God will direct the course of the coming Conference so that the right men for such holy orders may be elected. Now then comes the aspirants for general officers, and their names are legion because they are many, and for the most as far as I know all good. For the Review, R. C. Ranson, Roman.

The men are well known to the church and are my personal friends, for whom I have great respect and do not think that things would go to the bad if either one of these three were elected. However, we think it is our time in this office, we think the church to rep represent that department especially true with the Kansas Conference and the Fifth Episcopal District, because Kansas has never favored by the church with a general officer or a bishop. It is our prayer, the priest who applauds or what they aspire for the church to please for the church and that which pleases our Father in Heaven may be done. I am yours. J. R. RANSOM, Topeka, Kan. BOOK REVIEW We have read with a great deal of pleasure the History of the Negro Soldiers in the Spanish-American War combined with the History of the Negro Race in America, by Counselor E. A. Johnson, who is the author of several other books of merit. This new combined work consists of four hundred pages of as interesting and inspiring reading matter as we have ever seen in any book published for and about the Negro. It deals with the creditable achievements of the Negro in American History, especially in the late Spanish-American War, giving examples of bravery in all the wars that were not surpassed at the time, and can hardly be surpassed in the future. A unique feature of the work is that it gives the story of the Negro's achievements, especially in the Soanish-American War, in the words of men who were on the scene at the time, many of whom were newspaper correspondents, who depicted the incidents of the different battles as they occurred at the time and moment. It is one thing to write history from hearsey and tradition many years after the facts have transpired, but it is quite another thing to give a story in the words of the people who were on the scene at the time and write of it while it was fresh in their minds, and those who saw wrote as outlined in this book give the Negro soldiers glowing tributes for the part they food in the struggle. The white histories have left nearly all this one they scarcely refer to the part the Negro's role in the war and the achievements of the people, and were it not for this publication on the part of Counsellor Johnson, the state of Negro history, especially in the Soanish-American War, would be untold. It is a happy thought on the need the author to preserve the record of brave Negro soldiers in history, and such an effort should meet the hefty approval of all who are sincere in their desire for race progress and achievement. We do not hesitate to say that this book should be in every home and be taught to every child, as we believe that by so doing those who read it and know its contents will be stimulated in their ideas of race pride and self-repetition. When we read of the deeds of valor and brilliant achievements made by Negroes as outlined in this book, we feel double proud of the fact that we belong to the Negro Race. The price of the book is $1.25 and is fully worth the money. It can be had through this Subordinate Lodges of the First Masonic Hall.

Many of the elder bestroth of the craft are better found than I to pay just tribute to the excellent qualities of the deceased as a brother who had advanced to the thirty-second degree, filling the several stations while making his anoint with wisdom and integrity, but I can say as that my personal and somewhat intimate acquaintance with him afforded me an opportunity, to receive excellent counsel from him during my period as a novitate. The last honors of the fraternity were given to him by the church Tuesday evening, December 5. The deceased leaves two sons and several near relatives to mourn his loss. "Talk of his doom without a sight. For he is freedom's now, and fame's; the name of his names. That were not born to die."

Not so long ago I was accosted by a boy from Culverian percussion. "Ton," he said, "he is why it that we are forbidden to enter your councils?" "Charles," said I. "It is because there are some things which are not found among the established privileges of men. No man chooses to oppose them. He cannot make his country's past, nor alter the assumptions or the principles which have become, his civil heritage. More important still, he may not put these principles into operation upon Sunday. He cannot re-impose them on Wednesday, the fundamental principles of freemasonry, the ancient charges and landmarks, the written and written laws and established customs cannot be readmitted to the Temple. The writings, my dear Charles, are propagated in our councils; hence your mentor has forbidden you to fraternise."

The prayers of the North Carolina Methodist, especially in the A. M. E. Church, are for the election of Dr. R. H. W. Leak as one of its bishops at the next General Conference. Dr. Leak deserves every honor that the church can confer upon him, for he has done a great work for his church in the city of Raleigh. Of his work many of our strong young men in the Western North Carolina Conference received their inspiration to preach. The A. M. E. Methodists of North Carolina and the country owe much to Dr. Leak. Thanksgiving day was observed by many ministers by asking a host for quail and rabbit, while many of the foot ball fans went to the park to witness the game between the streets of the St. Augustine Methodist Church and Kittredge College.

C., Dec. 5.—The colored graded school of this town is in a good condition. The term began October 2. Miss Mary E. Brockett teaches the first and assists in the fifth grade and is doing good work. Mrs. M. E. M. Jenkins teaches the second and assists in the fourth grade and is making good progress. Principal S. L. Moore teaches in the fifth, sixth and eighth grades. The school as a whole is doing well. All of the teachers are working hard for success. We are favored with a teacher in domestic science, Miss Lena C. Griffin. This branch is taught from the fourth to the eighth grades, inclusive. The one thing needful is that the parents should know that we can't teach with any degree of satisfaction when the child is present two days and absent three days. The parents must cooperate with the teacher along all lines if they would expect the child to be benefitted. The school month is divided into twenty days. Let us get away from the old notion that we have nothing else to do. Make going to school a business and business will result with profit to the parties concerned, otherwise money and time are thrown away. Many people stand by and grumble and say, "We have not sufficient accommodation." The thing to do is to come in and make the numbers show that you need something else. Work counts, not talk.

But the confusion and din was not occasioned by the clashing of rival political clans; neither had a number of women gathered of different views to discuss female suffrage. The Frogs were holding a special meeting, which was the stormiest in the organization's history. The meeting had been called to give the members who are in the city their parts for the show to be presented Monday evening, January 29, at the New Star Casino. The dove of peace fitted serenely over the heads of the brother Frogs during the early part of the evening, and on the shoulder of each Frog perched affectionately the bird of good.fellowship. Affability pervaded the atmosphere. It so transpired that the dove of peace fluttered about in the atmosphere of availibility, and the bird of good fellowship roosted on the shoulders of the respective Frogs until time came to give out the parts for the corps de ballet in "The Coryphee's Dream." Then the atmosphere suddenly changed, and the fowl of the air-hastily departed for other parts where conditions were more favorable. The appearance of the Demon Disturbance was caused when an attempt was made to assign several Frogs female parts. Frog Jesse A. Shipp suggested that Frogs "Jack" Nail, Sam Corker, Jr., and Lester A. Walton be selected to appear as females in the corps de ballet, advancing the argument that owing to their size they would appear more sylph-like and graceful as ballet dancers, and that they should be able to make the members of the fair sex turn green with envy when it came to the question of symmetry. The idea of Frog Shipp did not seem to gain favor with Frogs Croker, Nail and Walton. The three Frogs favored by Frog Shipp for female parts vigorously opposed the plan, contending that each was better acquainted with himself than Frog Shipp or anyone else, and that from personal knowledge they knew full well that instead of being the envy of the ladies from a standpoint of symmetry of figure they would be unconsciously doing comedy instead. In the meantime conditions became more aggravated by the disposition of three members to impersonate females in the corps de ballet who were not locked upon seriously by the majority of members. They were, James Reese Europe, R. C. McPherson and Capt. W. H. Jackson, each of whom weighs nearly two hundred pounds and whose embombpoint is apparent without the use of glasses. With Frogs, Nail, Corker and Walton protesting against having to appear as females, and the really serious, if not logical argument given by Frogs Jackson, McPherson and Europe as to why they should represent the members of the gentler sex, Alex Rogers poured additional oil on the troubled waters by contending that he should be cast as the principal in "The Coryphee's Dream." As Frog Rogers is built on similar lines as Frogs McPherson, Europe and Jackson (not much for speed), he was told that he would be more than a dream—a nightmare—if he appeared as the somnambulistic "Coryphee." One of the trio designated by Frog Shipp to don tights made the following declaration of war: "I am willing to appear, in the entertainment on January 29, and I intend to do all I can to make the affair a success, but I don't think a member should be called upon to appear in any role that is distasteful and which will hurt his reputation. If either of us is known as any kind of an Adonis now he will find himself minus the reputation after the show. I am in favor of the three who are willing to be given the female parts." The plea of one of the heavyweight members representing the trio desirous of donning tights was: "If The Frogs wants to present female impersonators in 'The Coryphee's Dream' whose lines of symmetry will stand out in bold relief and create jealousy among the women folks in attendance, then these larger men will wear ballet shoes. It cannot be said that there is much regularity of form so far as the three smaller Frogs mentioned are concerned, and if you want to make the corps de ballet a grand success select the three larger men for female parts who can also get about the stage with joy and grace."

CRESCENT THEATRE Jesse and Della Fox Clipper, known in vaudeville as the Two Clippers, arrived in New York from the West Tuesday, December 5. On Wednesday they were booked to open at the Crested Butte stage, three days, commencing Thursday. December. They had not been at the little Harlem playhouse two days before Manager JESSE CLIPPER Nibur booked them for a week longer, the act thereby breaking the record for continuous service. The Crescent Theatre is what is known as a split-week house, and no other act has ever played there more than seven consecutive days. In the case of the Two Clippers, when they end of their engagement and evening they will have worked one week and a half without intermission, or three engagements in one. Many promising acts have come from the West within the past twelve months, and the Two Clippers have as bright a future as any of them; in fact, brighter than many. Della Fox Clipper is a little singing soubrette who possesses much grace and personal charm, together with a sense of quickly moving by reason of its own grace. The original methods used by Jesse Clipper to get laughs, and his ability as a singer and dancer should enable him to soon get far away from the realm of five shows a day. He is from Portland, Ore., and DELLA FOX CLIPPER received his first schooling years ago as a pick under the tutelage of the late Ernest Hogan, when the Uni- torial College of the West. Della Fox Clipper is a native of Indianapolis, but has been living out West for a number of years. His act does not eventually land on the Friars. The Two Clippers will disappoint many. Wilbur C. Sweatman, who bills himself as "the sensational reed bird," can make such a reference to himself with becoming modesty, for he is really a clarionet player of more than ordinary ability. There are times when Mr. Sweatman shows himself to be the man who makes the instrument, while many musicians have some difficulty playing one clarionet, the demonstrates his capabilities in one number by playing two at a time. This is also an act from the West, and, it, too, should help elevate the colored theatrical profession. The Majestic Trio, in a singing, dancing and talking skill, contributed to the to the struts of the first presented to the Cyprus festival last week. The feature of the act was the singing of the straight man, who has a voice of power and sweetness. Notice to Performers Have You Played the New Bard Theatre?

Spartan'Girls Defeat St. Agnès Quint. The St. Agnes basketball team of St. Philip's Church, played its first game Saturday evening, December 3, with the Spartans of Brooklyn as opponents. Both teams played a fast game, but the Spartans won 8 to 0, due to longer experience and excellent team work. The St. Agnes girls showed up well, and though they have been organized but one month, played a most excellent game, kept the Spartans from scoring. Edith St. Airier starred for the visitors, shooting three of the four baskets made. Genevieve Harris also played a strong game, and Gladys Moore and Louise McCormick scored from scoring. On the St. Agnes side Eva Miller and L. Chichever played a tower of strength, and that the score was not larger was greatly due to their efforts. Catherine and Bishop played very well, and Miss Connouella Miller assisted them. The line-up: St. Agnes—Misses C. Miller and E. Miller, left forward; Miss Gardeen, right forward; Misses E. Miller, E. Collina and M.

Central Board Appoints Colored Officials After a period of two years of consideration the Central Board of Officials of the Football Rules Committee of the United States, have appointed four colored men on the list of qualified officials whose names will appear in the limited list published in the football rules book by C. Wilkinson, teacher at the M Street High School, is perhaps the best-known colored official in these parts. As coach of the M Street High School team he has developed many stars who have made careers after leaving this school on the gridiron and P. Robinson has taught and coached football and other branches of athletics at several colleges and high schools. His work as official on the gridiron is well known to all who follow the game. A. Kiger Savoy, a teacher in the Washington public schools has received his training on the gridiron. He is a close student of baseball and football and has been quite a player. Edwin B. Henderson, physical director of the Colored High Schools of Washington, received his training at the Harvard Summer School and has studied the theory and practice is a strong course, and where the leading football experts of the country often gather. These four are the only men among us in the country whose work has entitled them to this distinction. There are some coaches and players who are for them, but there are not yet all of the requirements for official recognition. The Central Board on Officials consists of L. M. Donna of Cornell University; Prof. Walter Camp of Yale University; Prof. Jarke Davis, Princeton; Prof. Cranford Flageen, and Chairman James A. Babbitt of Haverford College.
