C., Dec. 19.—On Thursday, December 14th, at the White House, an important meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board was held, at which President Taft, who is a member of the Board, presided by courtesy. The report of Prof. James H. Dillard showed that the fund expended in the past year in the interest of Negro education in the South was over $40,000, and in conjunction with the Slater Fund Board there are busily engaged in 2,500 communities in the South giving advice relative to how Negro children can be educated along practical lines, two field agents and 106 supervising teachers. Prof. H. T. Kealing, President of Western University, Quindaro, Kans., was elected a member of the Board, succeeding the late Bishop Abram Grant. Prof. Kealing's election met with the favor of all the other members, as he is highly conversant with Negro rural life. The colored members on the board are Dr. Booker T. Washington, Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury; Maj. R. R. Moton, of Hampon Institute; Hon. R. L. Smith, of Waco, Tex., and Prof. H. T. Kealing. The Jeanes Fund Board and the Slater Fund Board are working harmoniously together to uplift Negro life in the rural communities of the South, and the result has been gratifying. Prof. Dillard, as general agent, has $3,000,000 under his supervision to expend for educational purposes in the rural districts of the South, $2,000,000 of which has been set aside by the Slater Fund and $1,000,000 by the Jeanes Fund Board. The two boards combined expended $200,000 during the past year for Negro education. It was reported at the session that the directors of the Phelps-Stokes Fund had set aside a scholarship of $12,500 each at the University of Georgia and the University of North Carolina, to be awarded yearly to the successful student from each institution, who must be in sympathy with Negro education and who shall be sent out in the rural communities to study Negro life and education in all its phases for one year and write a treatise on his findings.

INSIST ON THEIR RIGHTS Old Line 'Republicans in Louisiana Make Charges Againa "Lily White" Faction Before Republican National Committee. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. WASHINGTON, L. C., Dec. 19.—Louisiana politics was last week injected into the quiet and orderly proceedings of the Republican National Committee when Walter L. Cohen, as the representative of the Black-and-Tan faction, presented a complaint, signed by Emile Kunts, chairman; Joseph Fabacher, secretary, and J. Madison Vance, complaining that the "Lily Whites" have not dealt fairly with them. At the Chicago Convention in 1908, when a similar complaint was made, it was decided that three members of the National Committee as a sub committee, should visit Louisiana and try and harmonize the differences and reorganize the party. The complaint against the "Lily White" committee organization, of which Frank B. Williams is chairman, says in part: "They have ignored every friendly overture. They have refused to face the voters in a primary election under their own auspices, and as a last resort to escape the pitiable spectacle of having no real Republican voters behind them in the State they have appealed to the courts, by way of mandamus proceedings against the Secretary of State to save them from a display of their political impotence. "We send to you our representative in the person of Walter L. Cohen, who will, with your permission, lay before the committee documentary proof of the most convincing character showing from Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. WASHINGTON, D.

Fa eee oy Tae Pa eee Published on Thursday of every week Moore, 247 West 46th street, New York. The old soldiers of Cuba insist that they be allowed to run the government as they want to, and there is trouble hatching for Cuba. Anyhow, Col. Roosevelt's boom for nomination for President is growing quiet, despite the fact that the Colonel frowns upon it with both eyes. The demand for a direct primary vote for nomination of candidates for office, both great and small, is a growing sentiment among the Republican masses. Distrust of party leaders and those sent direct from the people to nominating conventions is abroad in the land. There was an important conference of Negro Republicans of New Jersey at Trenton, December 12, called and dominated by Rev. I. W. L. Roundtree, D.D. There were some eighty present and a permanent organization was perfected, the details of which will be found in the news columns of THE AGE. --- A lot of German Americans, who should be ashamed of themselves, broke up the mass meeting of citizens at Carnegie Hall; Tuesday evening of last week, called to support the ratification of peace treaties with Great Britain and France. They refused to stand for what they called discrimination against Germany. The new mayor of Philadelphia has closed up the saloons so "tight" on Sundays that bibulous persons are compelled to make the Saturday night "fill up" last until Monday. The mayor has not yet been found with the will to close up the New York saloons on Sundays. The latch string is always on the outside the side door. When a mayor has a will a mayor will find a way to do as the new mayor of Philadelphia is doing in the Sunday closing saloon business. In all of the relations of life the man with the will is the decisive factor. Pearl Wight, the National Committeeman for Louisiana, has evidently no relation to the pearl of great price, but is a gem of the baser sort. It was not expected of him by those who created him at Chicago that he would depart from the principles of orthodox Republicanism and adopt that of spurious Lilywhitism. The story of his treachery, as published in the last issue of Tux Act, is not pleasant reading. The regulars, under the leadership of Hon. Walter L. Cohen, should have no trouble in unhorsing Mr. Pearl Wight. If a poll of the party by primary is necessary to do it, poll the party. The Harlem Negro who murdered his wife and himself belonged to the new type of Negro, the place from whose coming is as much a mystery as the place of whose going. That is to say, we do not know where he came from nor where he goes to. But the new type, which does not hesitate to commit murder in jealous rage or wrath and then to commit suicide, self-murder, to justify himself, is very much in evidence in all of the large cities of the country, being a development of the past two decades. Such people may be interested in knowing in advance of perforating the double tragedy that they are not only moral but physical perverts, degenerates, who destroy both the body and the soul. Physical education has long been regarded as essential to health among those whose employments compel them to remain indoors or to maintain a rigid condition of the muscles for hours at a time, and among those engaged in mental work, which eats up more vitality, red blood, than physical work. The discretion of common sense demands a sound body for a sound mind. But too much of any sort of good thing is often more injurious than none of it. Exhibitions of physical endurance, such as the six day bicycle contests, held in Madison Square Garden, have been, and the one on the past week, are of doubtful benefit, even financially, to the contestants of the spectators, both of whom are brutalised rather than ennobled by the plibid exhilation of the contestants. That Ain extends to its host of readers and well wishers the compliments of the season. The season is one, which, celebrated in all Christian lands, serves to gather together in closer sympathy and helpfulness all family relationships, all brotherhoods, and all nations of kindred faith. Shakespeare's "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin" is the prevailing sentiment of the season that has been wrought in the hearts of men by the philosophy of Him who spake as "never man spake." In the main, He so spoke to the people of their own times that they did not understand Him nor His words; nor can it be said that the men who have come after Him have understood better the mystery of it all. That He taught the philosophy of love, of patience in well-doing, of brotherhood in the equality of men, of the dignity of womanhood, and that He gave His life freely that others might have life more abundantly, and that His philosophy has revolutionized for better the conduct of man towards man and of nation towards nation, in so far that it is accepted that even savages and dumb animals have rights that man must, respect—this much all men know who celebrate the natal day of Jesus. December 25. The world is so much better nineteen hundred and eleven years after than it was the same number of years before the birth of Jesus, which approximates to the date of the birth of Ishmael, in 1913 B. C., that we cannot adequately appreciate what we have come into the inheritance of without comparing the condition of mankind in the two divisions of time. But most of the necessaries, the comforts and the luxuries we now have, at comparatively small cost, were unknown to the ancients, and are even now unknown to the people of some parts of Asia and Africa. But the chief blessing we have received is that of the destruction of the barem with its plurality of wives and the consequent debasement of manhood, and the institution of the Christian home and home life, along with the adoption of the principle of the co-equality of men under the civil law. Ignorance and superstition have been vanquished by the institution of the home, the church and the school. It is not a season for intemperance in eating and drinking, and it is matter of regret that of late years it has become so much so as to be cause of scandal; it is the season, on the contrary, when of all seasons of the year, people should be more temperate than any other, because the thoughts it gives birth to are "long, deep thoughts." Again, Merry Christmas. FIGHT ON "LILY WHITE- ISM." The original old-line Republicans of Louisiana are well within their rights when they continue to insist that the Republican National Executive Committee and Republican National Conventions shall place the seal of disapproval upon "Lily Whiteism" throughout the entire South. Although the Negroes make up two-thirds and more of the Republican party, the organization machinery is in the hands of a band of "Lily Whites" who insist that the Negro shall be counted for representation purposes, but at the same time insist that they shall have no part whatever in connection with the affairs of the party in the several Southern States. Cecil Lyons, of Texas, is, of course, the leader of this "Lily White" movement in that State. Not a Negro ever comes from Texas now to Republican National Conventions under his beneficent reign. Not a Negro now comes from the State of North Carolina as a delegate under the beneficent reign of E. C. Duncan. Only one Negro delegate at large as a rule is allowed to show his head from Alabama and Florida. The organization in Georgia is now in the hands of those who are seeking to make it "Lily White" in all its parts. the nastiest and most relentless light on Negroes because of their manhood, however, is that fostered in Louisiana by Pearl Wight and Frank B. Williams. Unlike the Negroes in the other Southern States, to which we have referred, there are still remaining in Louisiana enough white Republicans and enough stalwart black Republicans to resist the efforts to "Lily White" the party in that State. At the last National Convention it was decided to reorganize the party in Louisiana, recognizing neither faction. Nothing has been done, however, to change conditions. All of the offices are still in the hands of the "Lily Whites," and Negroes are not allowed to show their heads at all unless as servitors of their "Lily White" masters. At the recent meeting of the Republican National Committee Hon. Walter Cohen, as the representative of the "Black and Tan" faction, appeared before the Committee with a petition insisting that the decision of the National Committee be carried out with reference to the reorganization of the party in that State. We honor the black men and the white men of Louisiana for their dualwart manliness. We reprobate at the same time the cowardice of those black men in other Southern States who spinely permit a handful of white men to scourge them from the party to which The meeting of the National Republican Committee at Washington on the 12th instant served to bring out in ugly boldness the fact that the National Republican party is in a storm, that threatens to grow in volume and violence from now until the meeting of the national convention, at Chicago; June 18, 1912. All good Republicans must be alarmed at the condition of affairs as developed at the Washington meeting. Opposition to President Taft and his renomination made such a brave front, especially in Ohio, his home State, and Indiana, and the predominance of sentiment in favor of ex-President Roosevelt was so pronounced, as to overshadow the heavy-lunged aspirations of Senator Robert Marion La Follette and his Progressive Republican Mix-up, and their programme to progressize a whole lot of rules and regulations that have governed the party from its early days. The La Follettes wanted to elect delegates to the national convention by primary instead of by convention vote, and to reduce Southern representation in the convention, but the committee refused to change the old order, and the Progressives had to swallow it, as well as to have Senator La Follette shoved aside as a Presidential possibility for the more healthy and vigorous possibility of Col. Roosevelt. The Hon. Job E. Hedges of New York, who was a looker-on in Washington during the week of the meeting of the committee, had the following to say of the situation to the Washington correspondent of the New York Sun: "The Republican party is a party and has succeeded because it has advocated things and has merited support through its force of leadership and courage. I have listened for two days to political talk in the corridors of the hotels and am ashamed of the still shaky and half apologetic tones of the conversations. The party has nothing to be ashamed of. The present administration has made substantial contributions to national and international history and has conducted itself with dignity in international matters and been with some without being spectacular. "There have been statements by some high in authority that have created false impressions. Mr. Taft, has conducted himself as President with dignity and conscience and has been President without endowing to be a party head." "The success of the Republican party next fall in the national elections depends largely on the unselfishness of its leaders and their willingness to contribute toward the party success at the expense of their ambition." This is a fair statement of the case by a Republican trained in the science of politics in the New York school, to whom Ohioans who make of politics a business and live by it, are constrained to give the seat of honor as a prophet. President Taft has made a wise and safe President, honest and brave in performing his duty to the party and the people of the nation as he understood it, and dissension in the party, and the ambition of others who desire to be President should not be allowed to observe the fact. THE BRIGHT SIDE One rarely picks up a daily paper whether published in the North or in the South that the worst side of Negro life is not exploited to the exclusion of the things which make up his progress and higher life. If one scans the news columns of the daily papers he rarely finds the name of a colored man or woman mentioned unless it has to do with some fortunate aspect of life. The Negro has either been shot, crippled, arrested, put in prison or has died, in a word has gotten into trouble in some way. If not this, the Negro has committed some crime or is accused of committing some crime. In every community there should be a committee composed of one or more persons whose business it should be to see that the daily press gets hold of another side of the Negro's life. When the white man organizes a bank, builds a church or secures money for the endowment of a college, these facts are given to the public through the daily press. It should be a part of the duty of individuals and committees in every Negro community in the future to see that the white press is given the facts relating to Negro progress in the direction of constructive effort. In many instances the white press is willing and even anxious to publish the favorable facts, but in some way the press does not get them. It should be some one's duts in every community to see that the white press does get hold of the facts that illuminate the progress of our race as well as the criminal side. Might it not be well to have each church, literary society, local Negro Business League, etc., appoint a "Lookout Committee" whose duty it should be to put into the white press something concerning the brighter side of the Negro's life in that community? No matter how well disposed, individuals may be, if people see from day to day in the newspapers nothing about the Negro except that which relates to crime and misfortune, they are likely to form an fortunate opinion concerning the whole men. We assume that the president will be to my position during the next medium collapse of the Washington Union action—the aspiration of the Governor of New Jersey to lose from the White House by means of the Democratic nomination for President. All sorts of influences contributed to give the Governor's aspiration a menacing enlargement, helped along by inspired interviews and biographies and reminiscences in the Outlook, the World's Work, the New York Evening Post, and other newspapers; but we had a premonition that a candidacy born so soon and heralded by so many wise men, including the Governor, who is a rapid-fire personal advertiser of the William Jennings Bryan and William Randolph Hearst type, was liable to die if its youth and long before the Democratic convention should gather itself together in the dog days next summer. We had not, however, calculated that the Governor would harpoon himself, that, in fact, he had done so before he had deserted the Princeton shades of scholarship for the Trenton glare of politics. The collapse came about in this wise: The New York Sun, which has no love for Gov. Wilson without any special reason for disliking him, unearthed the fact, with all the frills of it, that Dr. Wilson, when he had determined to abandon the certainties of scholarship as President of Princeton University and take up the uncertainties of politics as Governor of New Jersey, leaving a salary of $8,000 a year to embrace one of $10,000 a year, made application to the Carnegie Foundation for a pension as retiring President of Princeton, because, as he explained, after the Sun's exposure, "a man who goes into politics bound by principles of honor puts his family at the mercy of the wheel of fortune." But the Trustees of the Foundation denied the application, crushing the life out of it with a unanimity that must have been surprising to one so devoid of humor as Dr. Wilson. The Trustees of the Foundation must have been surprised to get an application for a pension from a man so young at fifty-three as Dr. Wilson—from one who can talk as long and write as rapidly, and who can create as much confusion in any situation as a Bull of Bashan in a modern clina shop. The application for a pension from the Foundation which was established to benefit poor professors and instructors who had served twenty-five years and reached the age of seventy-five years and the reason, subsequently given, for asking for it, together with the observation, "I cannot see why the matter should be brought up at this time," made such an exposure of the character of Gov. Wilson as to close up the mouths of his friends and his enemies alike Gov. Wilson is only fifty-three years old, when a man, normally, is in the full flower of his intellectuality, and had not served quite twenty-five years as a teacher. No one asked him I put aside the clean certain work of a scholar for the questionable, uncertain work of politics, to put himself at "the mercy of the wheel of fortune," bound by as queer a lot of "principles of honor" as ever actuated a bundle of bumptious egotism. Gov. Wilson is a Virginian by birth. He belongs to that lordly aggregation of Southern high brows who not only think they are better than other men but who do not hesitate to ride roughshod over the rights and feelings of others in order to have their way. We are glad of the collapse of his inflation. Joseph Roberts, the West Indian Negro elevator man at 125 Canal street, who, it is alleged, killed Isaac S. Vogel, a traveling jeweler, robbed him of his stock, and left the body in the basement of his building, after failure to burn it, because the body could not be got into the furnace, must belong to that sort of creatures, so very common these days, who are so entirely controlled by the beast of them as not to be responsible for what they do. We must regret more than others the perpetration of such crime by Negro people because of the bad impression it creates. With all of the hard conditions imposed upon them since 1876 by the Ben Tillmans and the Cole Bleasees, the Negroes of South Carolina are planting for the future by getting a firm hold upon the soil. He who owns the soil owns him who cultivates it. The census figures show that of the 176,180 farms in South Carolina the Negroes own 96,696, or 17,212 more than the dear whites own, who, fifty years ago, owned all of the land of the State as well as the blacks who lived upon it and cultivated it. Fifty-four years from now, or one hundred years after their emancipation, the Negroes may own the larger acreage of the remaining farms of South Carolina. In that day what will the Tillmans and the Bleasees say and do about it! Meanwhile the Negro should stick close to the Patience which keeps on buying here a little and there a little until the total becomes the dominant factor of the whole land holdings of a given county or State. IN AFRICA. All the readers of The Ace are interested in a discussion of the present status of the Negro membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church and plans and efforts to better that status; to this end they have read with interest and profit the discussion of the subject, published in THE Ace from time to time, by Dr. Ernest Lyon and Rev. S. H. Norwood. But the readers of THE Ace are not interested in what Dr. Lyon thinks of Rev. Norwood and what Rev. Norwood thinks of Dr. Lyon. That is a personal matter with the two of them. If Rev. Norwood were not a man of great force of intellect and character he would not occupy the high and responsible place he does in the Baltimore Conference of his church. We all appreciate that fact. What sort of standing has Bishop I. B. Scott made in West Africa as a Bishop of his church? What record as Minister Resident and Consul General to Liberia did Dr. Ernest Lyon make prior to June, 1909? We are all interested in those questions, as they involve the honor of the church and of the government. In the Southwestern Christian Advocate for October 21, 1909, Hon. Emmett J. Scott, one of the three commissioners of the United States to the Republic of Liberia, in an appreciation of Bishop Scott and Minister Lyon, says of Bishop Scott: "His genial personality, his 'common common sense,' his tactfulness and delightful charm of manner made the deepest impression upon my fellow commissioners, and the attaches of the commission." Of Minister Lyon he says: "I could not help appreciating to the fullest his splendid ability, his superb grasp of Liberian problems, and his unselfish interest in the preservation of the integrity of the Little Black Republicon the shores of the West Coast of Africa." The high character and good works of Bishop Scott, Dr. Lyon and Rev Norwood, then, are not in question; they stand or much for themselves and the Negro people, as a race is judged by the history of its individual, acting for all of them. What the Negro people need in this country, and in all countries, is history made and in the process of makig, and written, so that mankind can react, in order to be able to judge whether such people are worthy of confidence and therefore of such assistance as all must have to achieve the best results. A CONSCIENTIOUS BISHOP Bishop Johnson, of the A. M. E. Church, has just returned from Africa. All home to such a servant of the church a Bishop Johnson has shown himself to be! In a few other instances individuals have beerelected to the Bishopric with the district understanding that they would go to Africa and spend a sufficient number of years there. In a majority of the cases, persons so elected under their promises have not fulfilled these promises. They have gone to Africa and remained only a few months and spenta large part of their time in traveling. Bishop Johnson has honestly fulfilled his promise. Not only that, but he has one fine work in Southern Africa, he is a man of whom the A. M. E. Church can feel proud every day in year. a seaching arraignment of the National Pension policy, in *The World's War for December*, Mr. Charles Francisams, who served in the War of the bellion and is a Brigadier General brevet, estimates the existing pension expenditures at about $160,000,000 Punnum. The House of Representatives has passed the Sherwood bill which is estimated, will increase the pension expenditures by $40,000,000. A peculiar use of the passage of this measure that it was due to Democratic votes and in the House, which is a violent versal, due to the increase of the soil vote of Democrats now in the House. Adams says of pension extraction that the world has not heretofore, as respects volume, anything like Forty-four years after the war our pension expenditures have increased from $50,000,000 to $160,000,000, with a post addition of $40,000,000 more. Theion situation is scandalous. Bishop Benjamin Tanner, one of the glories of our sound scholarship and moral uprises of the African Methodist Episcopal church, says, in the Christian Recordat "we place our well-night worsnourers at the disposal of the fresherived Bishop"—J. Albert Johnson, is home for the first time from hisk in South Africa. As a worker on Tanner says Bishop Johnson has taught mightily as did Bishop Lev Coppin, in the South African field, unlike the latter, he has written rex of his work from the field. We with Bishop Tanner that a book Bishop Johnson about his work, the les in South Africa, and the charm of the government which the Brative the natives, would be a contion to liter cared in the little way of Alabama college Bishop Coppard book was a good treat to all of us. What we need more and more is the Negro's viewpoint in every quarter of the globe of himself, of his condition, of his needs, of the white strangers among whom he lives. A FAMOUS CLASS REUNION. During the Reconstruction administration of the government of South Carolina Negro students were admitted to the University of South Carolina, some of whom became very successful men. After the seating of Gov. Wade Hinton, by the terms of the Electoral Commission which seated President Hayes in 1876-7, the doors of the University were closed against Negro students. The class of 1879 recently had a reunion at Columbia. The Star of Zion furnishes the roster of the class as follows: In this class were such men as Lawyer E. J. Sawyer of Bennettville, B. C.; Prof. J. E. Wallace of Clifton University, Grangeburg, B. C.; Drs. W. D. Crum, U. B. Minister to Liberia and A. C. McCillean of Charleston, B. C.; Rev. James A. Johnson of Columbia, S. C.; Ex-Congressman G. W. Murray, Murray, Collector Whitfield McKlushan, Dr. W. Murray, Collector Whitfield McKlushan, New York Conference; Ex-Minister to Liberia, O. L. W. Smith; Hon. L. H. Smith of Texas; Dr. J. J. Durham of Alken, S. C.; Hibbop George W. Clinton of North Carolina. Commenting on the interesting reunion, the Star of Zion says: The occasion was a reunion of the surviving members of this class and other students of this famous school. Timely topics were discussed and a very interesting and enjoyable meeting was held all the members of this class which lacked only one year of obtaining the A.B. degree from the great Southern institution that went forth men as Paul Y. Hayne, Duffie Legare and other of like fame, have proven themselves to be men of splendid parts and achievements. Most of them went to other schools and received the B.A. degree after one year's study. Would not the University of South Carolina honor itself if thirty years after it left the university, they would have the surviving members. Recently the University of North Carolina so honored them who left her walls to enter the army fifty years ago. That those who were turned out were members of a race not far from slavery is no excuse. - All who have made an honorable record and have distinguished themselves in their fields of labor should be thus recognized by their Alma Mater (of course to exemplary things like the fact that the governor is propossous, but fair and just nevertheless. There was no Christian spirit in the animus that denied the young Negroes of the Class of 1879 of the University of South Carolina the opportunity to graduate, simply because of their race; there is no Christian spirit, thirty-two years after, in the animus that denies them the degree to which they are entitled, equally with the white students who left the university, fifty-one years ago, to fight to destroy the Union of the States and to perpetuate the institution of human slavery. Such a sentiment has no proper place in the conduct of a people who declare they believe in the Christian religion and philosophy. Their works give the lie to their declaration of the Faith of Jesus "by the hand of St. Paul." JUSTICE FOR ULRICH We cannot repress a broad smile of satisfaction at the retribution which has so swiftly overtaken Ulrich, the ruffianly assailant of Dr. Washington. The punishment meted out to this fellow in New Jersey is in sharp contrast to the miserable travesty on justice so recently enacted here in this city, in which the Tamanny justices, Moss and Zeller, played the stellar roles. There is a certain type of undesirable citizen which society likes to see punished. The wife deserter is one of these. No truer representative of that class exists than Ulrich. It is our earnest hope and prayer that no one will be foolish enough to go his bond. The sentence of the New Jersey court is only a title of the punishment so richly merited by this criminal scoundrel. Edward A. Johnson, author of "The School History of the Negro Race," combined with "The History of the Negro Soldiers in the Spanish-American War," and for fourteen years dean of the Law Department of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., was born in Raleigh and educated in Atlanta University. He was elected principal of the Washington School of Raleigh on his return from Atlanta, and after serving six years resigned to accept the chair of Professor of Law in Shaw University. He has held many positions of honor in his city and State, having been twice elected a member of the Board of Aldermen of Raleigh, and elected a delegate to the National Republican Conventions, at Minneapolis and St. Louis, and assistant in U. S. Attorney's office under Department of Justice. He is a lawyer of recognized ability, and during his practice in the State won every case he had in the Supreme Court of North Carolina. He enjoys a literary practice in New York and is properly regarded as a man of influence and power, and with all his numerous office duties finds time to complete this most excellent history above mentioned, which was reviewed in last week's issue of THE ACK, and leserves the appreciation of the race generally. THE AGK is always ready and willing and the actions of the race who are trying to do something to help along in the great uprift of a great people. PEACE AND GOODWILL (By ALBERT W. SCOTT) As lowly, shepherds watched their rocks, When silent night of earth bled home. Glad, born-born about reach hills and rocks. "Peace and Good Will!" "Good Will and Pace!" An angel band had filled the skies. Then, was first heard, such sweet owlry, While whispering gates raise their eyes, And greet the "Prince of Glory" reign. O. may on earth, His Will he done, His Kingdom, among men, increase; Through all the ages may it run, "Peace and Good Will!" "Good Will and Peace!" May war and strife be full forgot, Nor passign, malice, yet remain; May each be joyful in his lot, May sorrow be no more, nor pain. O. never may the blissful strains, Produced that night, by angels' choir, Stop or be lost on life's domains, Till all are one with heaven's desire. Beam brightly on, 0 radiant stars, And sean be calm; 0 wild winds, cease. O. may be bold of light and arm, Have peace, good will, and will with peace.

Remain Out of the Courts A New Orleans paper takes great pain to point out the desirability of giving the Negro a square deal, and the Negro laborers in the South under which the Negro laborers in the South formation.

The Negro learns how to attend to his business and to avoid clash with any and everybody the sooner he will learn the lesson which present unfavorable conditions are designed to teach. The point is not to be concerned too much about the privileges that are afforded to the Negro, but to point the right use of those which are retained. ~Durham (N. C.) Reformer. Fraternals Taught a Lesson. The Negro fraternal organizations, in this State especially, have been taught a most forceful lesson, in the fact that they can't very successfully conduct mercantile business in connection with fishing. In order to make a success of such establishments there must be a great deal of money invested and people must be secured, who understand the kind of business it is intended to conduct in every essential detail. The most of these concerns are run upon a business plan and the people who take stock are always selfish about who should conduct the business and in consequence sentiment controls the affluence instead of cold business, and we can never hope to make any business succeed if it is run upon the most strict business basis.—Newport (Va.) News Star. NO; EDUCATE THEM. West Virginia's Increased Negro Population and Alarm. (From the Charleston Advocate) There is no occasion for alarm on the part of the white people of this State because the Negro population allows a slightly larger rate of immigration. The Negro people about eighteen to one, thus making the fear of "Negro domination" groundless. The Negroes, however, cannot view the increase of their number with an little surprise. The Negro population has about very large through migration from other States of a type of undefragrables, of men brought here to labor in the industrial centers, who frequently maltake license for lilies from Virginia, North Carolina, who take from Virginia, North Carolina, where wages are lower, school terms are shorter and the attitude of the whites toward them is more hostile than in this State, they are endangered, and political privileges not only of maltaghees but of the entire race in West Virginia. This state of affairs has come about through the development of coal mining and the consequent demand for jobs. In but few instances have the low salary property-owning Negroes of other States been able to have heeded the call are, for the most part, the unattached, ignorant, lazy, go-lucky element who are the best patrons of the saloon keeper and form force from which the population of the State is being drawn. This being the situation those Negroes in the State who have any record for their civil and political status must "view with alarm" this inflow and hope that it will either be diverted or that they who come hereafter may be of a higher status and be given an investment for Jim Crow cars and disfranchisement will grow space. The New York Age. BY DR-BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute I left Berlin, Germany, at eleven o'clock one Saturday night in the latter part of September, 1910, and found myself next morning in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. I had been traveling for several weeks among people who were strange to me in manners, custom and language. No sooner had I come within hailing distance of Denmark, however, than I began to feel that I was among friends, again—old acquaintances, in fact—with whom I could not only talk but even venture now and then to crack a joke, with some confidence that I should be understood. My experience is that the final test of the understanding between people of different countries and different languages is their ability to laugh at the same joke. I do not believe there is much hope of universal peace until everybody learns to laugh at the same time at the same things. I began to be acquainted with Denmark before I left Germany. Just as I was taking the sleeping car in Berlin for Copenhagen, a newspaper reporter, who introduced himself as a correspondent of one of the Copenhagen papers called upon me and said he wanted to have an interview with me for publication in his paper in the morning. This looked enterprising and was so much like the experiences I had had in the United States that I began at once to feel at home. When I was within fifty or sixty miles of Copenhagen the next morning another reporter was admitted to my compartment. He told me that he had been sent forward by his paper to interview me on "certain subjects." This second correspondent spoke in broken English and I could not for some time make out what he was driving at. We had not gone far, however, before I gathered from what he said that, among the other parties or factions which divided Copenhagen and perhaps all Denmark, there were what he described as a "religious and an anti-religious" faction, each of which was represented by different newspapers. This man represented a religious faction and he had, apparently, been sent ahead to pick something out of me that would serve the purpose of his paper and party by putting me in the position of opposing the liberal or as he described it, the "anti-religious" party and favoring the religious, or conservative party. I did not have the slightest disposition to get myself embroiled in a quarrel, whether religious or otherwise, the exact nature of which I did not understand, but it was a real comfort to me to find myself again among people who were sufficiently acquainted with, and interested in me, as to want to have me on one side or the other of their controversies. This also helped to make me at home in Denmark. Although I did not feel it necessary to hide the fact that I was a professing Christian, I tried, as best I could, to avoid committing myself to one faction or the other. I do not know how far I succeeded, however, for although I was able, when I reached Copenhagen, to recognize my picture under flaring headlines in the papers, I was not able to read what the different reporters who interviewed me had written. I have had, in the course of my experiences, a good many surprises, but, next to receiving an invitation from the President of Harvard University to be at that seat of learning for the purpose of receiving an honorary degree, I think that the following letter which was placed in my head just as I entered my hotel in Copenhagen, gave me my greatest surprise: American Legation, Copenhagen, Oct. 2, 1910. My Dear Sir: His Majesty, the King of Denmark, has, through his Master of Ceremonies, commanded you to be at the Amalienborg Palace at ten o'clock on Monday (to-morrow). You will be received on your giving your name to the Marshal of the Court. I am delighted to inform you that the King and the Queen are greatly interested in your work and very sympathetic with it. They show this by granting you, on their own initiative, the honor of a private audience. The Legation will be glad to be of any possible use to you. I want especially to call your attention to my friend, Pastor Strom's, invitation to you. I am, Yours sincerely. (Signed) MAURICE FRANCIS EGAN. If anything further were necessary to make my welcome to Copenhagen complete it was the unexpected arrival of this friendly letter from the American Embassador, in which he expressed the interest of the King in my work and his desire to honor me, as the letter stated, with a "private audience." As this brief interview with the King and the subsequent dinner at the summer palace at which I was present seems to have aroused considerable interest, probably because it was an unusual honor to have been conferred upon an American Negro, perhaps it will not be out of place for me to tell what the interview and dinner were like and give some of my impressions of royalty at close hand. Before I describe my interview with the King, however, I want to say something of what I saw of Denmark on my way from Berlin to Copenhagen. Of all the places that I planned to visit during my brief sojourn in Europe I think I can safely say that Denmark was the country from which I hoped to learn most, the one in which, therefore, I felt the most lively interest. In order not to miss anything that was worth seeing I was out of bed early in the morning. Of course the first thing that I encountered was another change of language. During the past few weeks, however, languages had changed so frequently that I had grown accustomed to that. Besides, the difference between Danish and German is not so great as that between German and Hungarian, for instance, and both are more like English than any of the strange tongues to which my ears had been accustomed. The first thing that attracted my attention, after crossing into Denmark, was the appearance of the children. They seemed to have a sparkle in their eyes and a rich color in their faces that indicated vigor and health they had, too, an alertness and activity in their bodies which was in marked contrast with the appearance of the children which I had seen in many other parts of Europe. The Danish children, in a word, seemed to be enjoying life. And then, too, I soon began to note that the women of all classes were better and more sensibly dressed than in most places I had visited. They seemed happier, they talked more, laughed more, and, apparently read more than any women I had seen in Europe. I confess, however, that I was a little started when I saw women in a first-class restaurant sitting at a table with gentlemen smoking and apparently enjoying it. The change that I have indicated in the appearance of the children and the women was equally marked in the case of the men. I have referred particularly to the changed appearance of the children and women, however, because my observation has taught me that the appearance of children and women is a pretty good indication of the civilization of a people. As the train journeyed onward toward Copenhagen I soon noticed the fine farms and stock which were in evidence on every hand. I had recently been in portions of Hungary, where the government is spending large sums of money in teaching the people better methods of farming, but it did not seem to me that the Hungarian government was succeeding to the same extent as Denmark in getting results from the money spent on the education of its farming population. The difference, it seemed to me, consisted in this: Hungary was forcing her methods on the people from the outside. Denmark was bringing about a change in the methods of farming from the inside, that is, by making each individual man and woman more intelligent, more skilled and more patriotic. As my train approached nearer to Copenhagen it seemed to become pretty generally known that I was on the train, and long before I reached Copenhagen many sorts of people approached me and bade me welcome to Denmark. This welcome was not the usual formal, stereotyped greeting. There was something in the words and the manner of the people that convinced me that, much to my surprise, they knew about my work in America. In fact, several of the persons I met told me they had read my VOL. XXV. No. 12. My Dear Sir: 1930 COPYRIGHT BY C. M. BATTEY. NEW YORK. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON books. So numerous and hearty were the greetings that I received that I found myself holding a sort of informal reception all the way to Copenhagen station. There I was met by a reception committee composed of journalists, educators and other distinguished persons. I was immediately conveyed to my hotel where I found a suite of rooms had been placed at my disposal. I spent a tremendously busy day. All kinds of invitations, from all kinds of people, poured in upon me. They were invitations to speak at various functions and to see this and that interesting object. As my sojourn in Denmark was limited, I determined to follow the plan which I had previously found advisable elsewhere, namely, of letting myself be guided during my stay in Denmark wholly by the committee of gentlemen in charge. This meant that I had to disappoint a great many people, but I found that the committee was well informed as to who and what I ought to see and what not to see and had my program mapped out. The chairmen of committee wwas Mr. Veggo Cavling, editor of the "Politiken," the leading paper in Denmark, to whom I am indebted for many courtesies. Soon after I had finished brushing the dust from my garments and had gotten myself into some sort of presentable condition, I was taken by the committee to a famous restaurant on the water, for breakfast. From this restaurant I had a fine view of the harbor. Among other things, my attention was attracted by the English man-of-war which was occupied I was told, by the Queen Mother of England, who was then on a visit to her royal relatives in Denmark. Soon after breakfast we called upon the American Minister, the Hon. Maurice Francis Egan, to whose kindness and consideration I am indebted for much of the pleasure and success of my visit to Denmark. I might add that lest he should be absent from Denmark during my visit, Mr Egan had previously sent a cablegram to Mr Carnegie at Skibo Castle in order to learn the exact date of my arrival in Copenhagen. Then having informed himself on that point, he shortened his vacation and returned to Denmark for the express purpose of being of what service he could to me during my stay in that country. After calling upon the American Minister we spent 2 good part of the day viewing the many points of interest about the city and that evening, in accordance with the program which had been arranged for me, I spoke in one of the large auditoriums of the city. If I had not been prepared for the hearty welcome which I had already received, I was still less prepared, upon entering the hall, to see the audience, which filled every part of the building, rise to its feet and cheer as I came upon the platform. I had been uneasy all day for fear that my speech would not be understood, but I was positively frightened when I saw this large audience and, from the enthusiasm with which I was greeted, got some idea of what was expected of me. I had already had some experience with translators. While, at the beginning it was not so bad to have to be compelled to stop at the end of every few paragraphs, to have my words translated, I found that when I was fairly launched on my address, and reached the point where I began to feel my speech in my blood and bones, it was very trying to stop, with my mouth open, so to speak, until the audience, by the aid of an interpreter, caught up with me. I had not been talking more than a few minutes, however, until I found that the majority of my audience were able to follow me almost as well as if I had been speaking in their own tongue. Even the anecdotes I told, which were based very largely upon local conditions in the South, were for the most part understood, and so I went right on to the end of my address without stopping. I think I must have spoken for at least an hour and a half. One of the professors in the Royal College of Agriculture, whose name unfortunately I cannot now recall followed me. This gentle man took notes during my address and, after it was over, translated the substance of my remarks to the audience. As near as I could judge, he performed his part of the program with great success. At least it was better than the halting method with which I had previously had experience. At the close of this meeting I was entertained at supper at one of the hotels by a committee of representative people of Copenhagen. The main thing which led me to go to Denmark, however, was that I might get a clear and definite idea of agricultural conditions, especially the dairy industry. I wanted not only to see the condition of farming and dairying, but to learn, if possible, how the Danish farmer had been educated NEW YORK, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1911. "Wendell Phillips was not a child of the backwoods. He was born in Boston. He did not spring from the common people. Providence worked through six generations of the best Puritan stock of New England, to evolve in him an American gentleman of the highest type. His was not a struggle against poverty. The child of wealth, he was ennobled by an atmosphere of reinforcement in the most cultured city in America. A graduate of Harvard; he was admitted to the bar as a member of the legal profession with every prospect of a brilliant career. While a young man, as yet comparatively unknown, he stood in Pannett Hall and board James T. Austin, the Attorney General of Massachusetts, justify the men who murdered Lovejoy at Alton, fill Hot with indignation, he mounted the platform and delivered impromptu, a reply in soothing terms and with such crushing effect, that at a single stride he stopped from obscurity to fame. From that hour he broke the barriers of his social position; became deaf to the blandishments of wealth and honor, and with a self-abandonment akin to that of the Son of God, he made himself of no reputation to become the friend and advocate of the lowly and despair. The surroundings amid which these commemorate exercises here to night are not, are significant, while bending added inspiration to the hour. We are within the walls of Plymouth Church, whose pulpit Henry Ward Beecher made famous through out the English speaking world. At a time when the American pulpit was, for the most part, either dumb upon the evils of slavery, or threw about the inquisitive institution the sanctions of religion, Henry Ward Beecher stood here, a mighty Jove, burling the hot thunderbolts of his wrath against it. He was one of the host friends the cause of freedom ever had. He has demonstrated the power and influence of the unmazed pulpit. He was much more concerned with the acts of the supporters of slavery than he was about the Acts of the Apostles. He had the courage to do that, for lack of which the church and the unchurched masses are perishing today: he stood on the banks of the Hudson instead of the banks of the Jordan and applied the Gospel to the moral, political and sociable problems of his time. That which concerns us now is not that St. Paul, a member of a deplied race, had his Roman citizenship insulted, but that ten millions of black American citizens may be robbed of their most sacred rights under the protection of our flag. Which today is of more vital importance, that St. Paul received thirty-nine lahses upon his back, or that thirty-nine American citizens have been lynched with flandish ferocity in this year of grace? "After he had been mobbed out of two halls in New York City, Mr. Beecher, with characteristic courage, opened Plymouth Church to Mr. Phillips, to whom he refers as "the unagitated agitator—so calm, so fearless, so insolite—every word a bullet." "Wendell Phillips" WENDELL PHILLIPS" was the subject of an address delivered at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. Wednesday evening, November 29, by Dr. Roverdy C. Ranson, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. He said in part: "The tree of liberty will only bear fruit after its kind. It will not flourish when the foul birds of tyranny and oppression nest amid its boughs. It will not yield vitality or strength to any wild branch of slavery or serfdom that may be engrafted on its limbs. There are many, both at home and abroad, who are slow to learn that, while ready to acknowledge our debt both to England an dto Europe, we are a new nation, in a new world, with a new form of government whose type of democracy is distinctively American. "When John Hancock laid down his pen and George Washington sheathed his sword, the fathers of our constitution completed the task of launching this republic to take its unique place among the nations of the earth. The compromises growing out of the slavery question, that were inserted in the constitution, were the chief blight of their otherwise almost perfect work. This vital flaw prevented the realization of their high ideals and the fulfillment of their hopes. It at once arrayed against each other two hostile forces; it undertook the impossible task of uniting two irreconcilable principles, freedom and slavery. "The Negro question is the pivot around which this nation has revolved at every crucial hour of its history, from the foundation of the government until now." "While the Indies really like against us in judgment, the Negro is now and ever has been, the sure and final test of the strength and progress of American democracy and Christianity. Would you behold the skyline of our Christianity and democracy today? I point you to the present attitude of this nation toward the Negro. "From the adoption of our Federal Constitution until the abolition of slavery, there were those who saw and felt the enormity of the crime of ownership in human flesh. Of this increasing company, worthy to be called American's Immortals, William Lloyd Garrison was the chief, while Wendell Phillips was preeminent among those who stood in the foremost ranks. One hundred years ago to day, Wendel Phillips was born. His unselfish devotion to the cause of humanity has made not only black men, but liberty-loving men and women everywhere, his debtors. His career is unique in the annals of American achievement. He has been called, "The Knight Errant of Humanity." His noble figure moved among us with all the kingly grace of a knight of the days of chivalry. He met the burning question of his life with dauntless courage and a faith that never wavered. His sword once drawn was never abashed until the foe was vanquished. He counted not the odds against him, his confidence in the righteousness of his cause. (Continued on Page 8) Dramatic Section PRICE. 10 CENTS A COMPARISON AND A CONTRAST I HAD just filled on the night preceding a lecture engagement- at the capital of one of the great states of the Middle West. While sojourneying in this city I was the guest of the pastor of the church under whose auspices the lecture was arranged. It was necessary for me to take the next outgoing train in order to meet my appointment at another point. As I had the fullest confidence in my guide and friend touching his knowledge of local schedules, I did not follow my usual custom to make inquiry of the train crew as to the destination of the train about to be boarded. I had ridden but a few miles, when the conductor approaching, called out in familiar tones, "ticket." Upon handing him a diminutive piece of pasteboard which bore the imprint of a great railway system, he politely informed i me that I was on the wrong train going in the opposite direction from the desired point as fast as wheels could move. There was no return train until the next day. It is a mistake that very frequently happens, the sympathetic conductor assured me. "I can carry you to the next station, sixteen miles ahead, where you may stay over night and return on the early morning train and perhaps make your engagement in time." There was nothing for me to do but to submit to the inevitable and make the best of my predicament. At nine o'clock p. m., I found myself at the dingy station in the midst of an agricultural community. The population consisted of 600 inhabitants, all white, so far as I had any reason to suppose. The shades of night were falling dark and fast. A colored person thus beattled is in a predicament difficult to appreciate. I walked up and down the platform for a few minutes, sizing up the situation, not without inward misgivings. I studied hastily the men in shirt sleeves and sun-down hats, loitering about the little station just before the lights were to be extinguished for the night. But these one by one began to take their several ways, leaving the little station to darkness and to me. This was an occasion to make use of my psychology on the wing. As Robert Burns would say, I, "tint my reason all together," and accosted the individual whom I judged would be most responsive to my plea. Moderating my tone in a manner which I judged would be most effective to the man addressed, I stated my predicament and asked if he would point out some place where I might stop over night. "Sure," he responded in a tone of pleasant surprise. "There is a nice colored family that lives several blocks away, who would be glad to accommodate you." Of course, I said nothing about color in my inquiry for a stopping place; but my good friend proceeded on the basis of prima facie evidence. "I will be glad to show you the place and I am sure that they will take good care of you. Let me carry one of your satchels," he persisted with sincere politeness. "Ben is a nice boy and his wife is a splendid woman. They are very well liked by everybody in the community." We chatted pleasantly while finding the house of Benjamin the Black. I asked, "How many colored people are there in the town?" "Only Ben and his wife," was the reply. "How do they get along?" "Very nicely, indeed. They have no trouble whatever. They own their own property. Ben is a tyler and does work for everybody in this section. His wife is a very industrious woman and works for the best families in the town." "People who behave themselves can usually get along anywhere," I broke in, rather to humor the conversation than to express a sure conviction. "Yes, Ben and his wife were both born here and everybody knows and respects them." By this time we had reached the cottage which was the last house at the end of the street where a new concrete walk had been recently laid. "Mrs. Jones, here is a gentleman who missed his train and wants you to take care of him over night." "I will be very glad to do so Mr. Smith responded the chocolate-hued mistress of the cottage. Of course, I was very profuse in tendering thanks to my guide for the good and kindly turn he had rendered me. I offered him a high-grade cigar, or rather the price of one, as I do not smoke myself; but he politely declined, stating that he was only too glad to oblige a stranger, having himself had experience in being thrown off at a strange place at night. With polite dismissal, he took his leave and went unto his own company, and left me to mine. I stated to Mr. and Mrs. Jones that I hardly knew how to thank them for taking me in, being a total stranger dumped upon them at such an unseasonable hour. (Continued on Page 2) My Visit to the King and Queen of Denmark (Continued from Page 1.) to the point which made it possible for Denmark to lead the world in the dairy industry. Much as I should have been inclined to accept some of the numerous invitations that would have kept me in the city, I determined that on the following day I would cut everything possible and get right out into the heart of the country, where I could meet the farmers, study their methods and observe the results. I wanted to see, also, some of the high schools, agricultural schools and common public schools. All this, however, the committee, led by Mr. Cayling had carefully thought out and planned to in advance. The only thing that disturbed me and led me to hesitate in carrying out this decision was the command for me to appear at the King's palace the next day at ten o'clock. No one seemed to know just what further command the King might have in store, but everyone was certain, at the same time, that it would be an unforgivable thing for anybody to fail to accept an invitation from the King. So it was decided that, Monday morning everything else must wait until I had been to the palace to see the King. On the previous day I had been carefully instructed by Minister Egan as to the exact time to appear at the palace and as to the kind of dress that I was to wear. Fifteen minutes before the homi of my reception, the American Minister's carriage drove up to my hotel, and I was conveyed in quite a ceremonious manner to the entrance to the King's residence. Before reaching the entrance of the palace we encountered a rather formidable array of soldiers and bayonets. Reaching there, however, thanks to the good offices of Minister Egan, there seemed to be plain sailing. I was met at the entrance by some official, clad in imposing uniform, and by him I was conveyed through several rooms or halls until finally I reached the reception room of the King's Chamberlain. The Chamberlain, as soon as I entered the room, greeted me warmly and asked me to take a seat. In the meantime he himself stood through the whole proceedings. In fact he did all of his writing standing, with his sword by his side, and I did not see him sit during the whole time I was in the room. Soon after I entered, the Chamberlam went in and presently returned to tell me the King would be ready to see me in about five minutes. At the end of the five minutes exactly, the door was opened and I found myself in the king's chamber. I had expected to see a gorgeously fitted apartment, something to compare with what I had seen elsewhere in the palace. Imagine my surprise when I found practically nothing in the room except the King himself. There was not a chair, a sofa, or so far as I can recall a single thing in the way of furniture nothing except the King and his sword. I was surprised again, considering the formality by which he was surrounded, by the familiar and kindly manner in which the King received me, and by his excellent English. Both of us remained standing during the whole interview, which must have lasted twenty minutes. I say we remained standing, because, even had etiquette permitted it, we could not have done anything else because there was nothing in the room for either of us to sit upon. I had been warned by the American Minister and Mr. Cayling, however, as to what might be the result of this interview. Among other things in regard to which I had been carefully instructed by the American Minister was I must never turn my back upon the King, that I must not lead off in any conversation, that I must let the King suggest the subjects to be discussed and not take the initiative in raising any question for discussion. I tried to follow Minister Egan's instructions in this regard as well as I could, but I was not wholly successful. I had not been talking with the King many minutes before I found that he was perfectly familiar with the work of the Tuskegee school, that he had read much that I had written and was well acquainted with all that I was trying to do for the Negroes in the South. He referred to the fact that Denmark was interested in the colored people in their own colony in the Danish West Indies, and that both he and the Queen were anxious that something be done for the colored people in the Danish possessions similar to what we were doing at Tuskegee. He added that he hoped at some time I would find it possible to visit the Danish West Indian Islands. As I have said, I had been warned as to what might be the result of this visit to the King and that I had best be careful how I made my plans for the evening. As the interview was closing, the King took me by the hand and said, "The Queen would be pleased to have you dine at the palace to-night," at the same time naming the hour. The Minister had told me that this was his way of commanding persons to dine, and that an invitation given must be obeyed. Of course, I was delighted to accept the invitation, though I feared it would wreck my plans for seeing the country people. The King was so kind and put me so at my case in his presence that I fear I forgot Minister Egan's warnings not to turn my back upon him, and I must confess that I got out of the room in about the same way I usually go out of the room when I have had an audience with President Taft. Leaving the King and the palace, I found out on the street quite a group of newspaper people, most of them representing American papers, who were very anxious to know, in the usual American fashion, just what took place during the interview, how long I was with the King, what we talked about, and what not. They were especially anxious to know if I had been invited to the palace for dinner. As soon as the audience with the King was over, our automobile was weedy and we went straight to the country. The automobile had been provided by Mr. Cavling because he was anxious that I cover just as much territory during the day as possible. We drove through magnificent farming districts, saw some of the finest cattle that one can find anywhere in the world. Our first stop was at a typical Danish high school, at Roeskilde, the former capitol of Denmark, one of the unique institutions which has made education in Denmark famous. The usual term "high school," however, has little meaning in connection with the Danish high school. A Danish high school is an institution that has for its object the instruction of the masses of the people regarding Danish history and Danish traditions; in a word, its object is to inspire the people. These high schools are not only attended by the youths of the country, but during certain seasons of the year they are attended by men and women. For a given number of weeks the wives attend these schools, living in the institution. At the end of their time the wives go home and their husbands come and remain several weeks. The first high school at which we stopped was, I think, about forty miles from Copenhagen. Though it was during the vacation season, much to my surprise, when reaching this school I found a large audience of people from the surrounding country gathered for the purpose of giving me a reception and listening to me speak. After being introduced to the members of the faculty and inspecting the surroundings of the high school and partaking of a well prepared lunch, a large audience assembled in the chapel and I spoke for twenty or thirty minutes, telling them about our work at Tuskegee and elsewhere in the South. But as I mingled with the people, men and women, I was surprised to find that they already knew almost as much about Tuskegee and its work as any similar audience in America. From this high school we went into another farming district to visit a typical Danish agricultural school, and this school was one of the most interesting sights that I saw in Denmark. It was located right out in the country. The buildings were not costly nor showy, but everything indicated that it was a real farmers' school. Here again I found a still larger audience of people from the surrounding country gathered, and I had scarcely gotten within sight of the school buildings when I saw a large American flag hanging across the roadway. Not only that, but American flags were flying in all parts of the school grounds, as well as on many of the buildings. The people received me with many cheers. They sang Danish patriotic songs and American patriotic songs. In fact the heartiness and warmth of their reception nearly took me off my feet. What interested me as much as anything else was to note that the women, the wives of the farmers, were just as intelligent concerning Tuskegee and its methods as the men. What interested me especially about this school was to see that all the teaching was adapted to meeting the needs of the students that district, that any farmer could come there and see, for example, the best breed of pigs, and within a few days learn how to care for and grow them on his own farm. Any woman could come there and see the best garden, the best fowls, and be taught how to improve her own garden and her own fowls. Here, again, I found that it was the custom during certain weeks in the year for the farmers' wives to come and live in the institution and be taught the best methods of cooking, the best methods of table serving, the best methods of doing everything that a farmer's wife is called upon to do. At the end of two or three weeks these wives go home and THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1911 Several days later I found myself in Mound Bayou, the well known Negro town in the Mississippi Delta. Here is a Negro town of something like a thousand inhabitants, surrounded by a black penumbra of ten times that number, owning and operating thirty thousand acres of fertile land. Mound Bayou is located in Bolivar County, where the blacks outnumber the whites, fifteen to one. I found here an orderly community conducting appropriate activities with business system and method. The stores were well kept, neat and orderly; the bank and building association were in successful operation; the Negro ticket agent was business like and courteous; the mayor was a local merchant whose time was taken up in selling goods more extensively than in performing municipal function, a cotton seed mill, costing $100,000, was nearing completion; the postmaster was none other than Ishah T Montgomery, the founder and pater families of the town. The initiative, directive energy and intelligent method were in striking contrast with the more service pursuits ordinarily followed by Negroes when overshadowed by their more numerous and powerful white neighbors. There were in this small town as many as half dozen Negroes that were as well off in this world's goods, and far more enterprising and thrifty than any like number that can be picked out from among the hundred thousand Negroes in the capital of the nation. On reaching the town I fell into the hands of Charles Banks, who, like "Bret rabbit," was born in the briers. Charles Banks grew up as a plant out of the turtle soil of the Delta. He is a full-blooded and full-souled Negro, an autoethonous growth, the untempered product of Negro life and environment. He was educated, to the point of essential intelligence, on the spot, and gained his experiences and inspiration here. If Isaiah Montgomery describes the title of the Paul who planted Mound Bayou, Charles Banks should be styled the Appellas who watered it. May God give the increase. Mr Montgomery was a domestic in the household of President Jefferson Davis of the Southern Confederacy, and enjoys the absolute confidence of both races. He is a man of sound judgment and far seeing business acumen. Observing the vigor and enterprising spirit of young Banks, he invited his association in this gigantic community project. The man title of Eligah fell worthily upon and titted well the shoulders of Elisha. On reaching town, I must dine with Mr Banks. He lives in a beautiful cottage with surrounding grounds, laid out in grass plots and flower beds, impressing one with the air of prosperity and retinement, such as he might expect to find in the surroundings of a successful business man in a New England village. Charles Banks is a man of many activities. He is a cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, promoter of the cotton mill project, operator of city realty and farm lands, a large and successful planter, and cotton buyer. Indeed, he is easily the leader in the several lines of activity calculated to develop the community. His interest is not limited to this town alone, but extends throughout the state. He is president of the Negro Business League of Mississippi, and first vice-president of the National Negro Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is founder and president. The term "Banks of Mississippi," no longer suggests to the Negroes of that state the riparian borders of the Father of Waters, but the actuary and guiding spirit of Mound Bayou. I saw only one white man during my stay in this town, and he was a drummer for a Mississippi house trying to place a bill of goods in a local store. He was in every way as affable and courteous as the success of his mission requires a drummer to be. I could not help contrasting his attitude with the hauteur often assumed by clerks when the Negro goes into a white store to make a purchase. The Negro is fast learning that if he would secure the courteous consideration of his neighbor, he must some times have something his neighbor wants, and not always want something he has. During my stay in Mississippi Mr. Vardaman was making his campaign for the Federal Senate, with the bitterest appeal to racial passion and hate. The Negroes anticipated that he would win, as such appeals usually do. But they were no whit affected thereby in their constructive purpose as the wisest policy under any political eventuality. The Negroes of Mound Bayou have no effective political privileges outside of their own bailiwick, their civil rights are narrowly restricted. They do not fail to understand their limitations and to desire the fulness of the stature of American citizenship. But they have made up their minds that they will do their best in spite of restrictions which they cannot overcome. If they should sit down supinely and wait in idle expectancy for the desired measure of civil and political privilege, they would indeed wait for many a long and weary day. The Negroes here enjoy that which neither political rights nor civil freedom can bring, viz: free and unconstrained social satisfaction of their own making. They have their own lodges, churches, benevolent orders and social circles, with no one near to molest or make afraid. There is a club room fitted up for the social enjoyment of men, in as good style, as any I have seen for Negroes, although I have visited and observed their ways in almost every city in the United States. They are sending their sons and daughters to Howard University, Fisk, Atlanta, Hampton and Tuskegee, who return as happy and contented co-workers in the life and spirit of the place. I was pleased to find a group of Howard University graduates adjusted to this work. On asking a young lady now a senior in Howard University College Department, whether she preferred Washington or Mound Bayon, without hesitation the response was in favor of the Mississippi village. On leaving Mound Bayou I could not refrain from comparing, rather contrasting, the lot of the Negro in the two communities just described. On the one hand, the Northern village contains but a single couple whose number is not likely to increase; on the other hand, Mound Bayou appeals to colored men with the spirit of thrift and enterprise. The Negroes in the Northern community enjoy full political and civil freedom; while in Mississippi, they are nullities in the state and are harshly restricted in their civil freedom. Unusual to be said, the Northern Negroes in this comparison have full industrial opportunity along the line of mechanical skill, but it is merely incidental without any assuring basis of permanence; while Mound Bayou is building an enduring industrial structure. Our isolated couple receive all from their neighbors that they can reasonably ask them to give and inevitable. In the one case their neighbors are "a little more than kind and a little less than kin," which is the most uncompatible possible social predicament, in the other case, kinship of blood easily manifests itself in genial social relations. The Northern family has no children, and if they had it would only intensify the pitiableness of their lot; the child life of Mound Bayou is joyous and happy. After looking upon this picture and then on that, let each determine for himself which situation holds the larger promise for the future; which points out the way, which points the way out? the husbands come and are given instruction in the same way. The farm surrounding this agricultural high school I noticed, while not large, was a model of perfection. The people who came to these two meetings, to which I have referred, were happy, joyous and prosperous people. It was evident that they took pride in their country and in their part in its success. As at my former stopping place, the people assembled in the chapel. In this case the audience was so large that it could not get on the inside of the room, and I spoke to the people standing in an automobile. As I drove away at the close of my address, American and Danish flags were waved and a familiar American song was sung with great heartiness. All this warmed my heart, taught me to love Denmark and made me feel that it was and is one of the happiest countries in the world. After making further inspection of farm life and farm conditions, we turned our way toward Copenhagen. We had to hasten on in our journey because of the dinner at the palace, and I confess that, notwithstanding I was seeing so much that was new and instructive, all through the day I was trembling a little in anticipation of the ordeal that was awaiting me at night. I had never taken a formal dinner with a King and Queen, and I did not know exactly what to expect or exactly what to do. Here again Minister Egan came to my rescue. He had carefully instructed me as to what time to appear at the palace for dinner and exactly how I was expected to conduct myself. Before speaking more at length concerning the dinner, I must mention that, notwithstanding the fact that it was getting dangerously near the hour when I had to start for the King's summer residence, we stopped to inspect one of the gardens maintained through the generosity of "The Politiken" some few miles cut of Copenhagen. These gardens or farms, so far as I know, have no counterpart in America. They are small bits of land which the people are encouraged to cultivate. On Sunday and at other times when the city people care to do so, they can go out into these gardens and cultivate their little patch of land and live for the day if they wish to in a tiny house constructed on this land. Thus from the crowded city they are permitted to get a touch of real nature. The dinner was not at the palace where I was received in the morning, but at the summer palace several miles out of Copenhagen. When I reached the hotel from the country, it soon dawned upon me that I was in great danger of being late. To keep a King and Queen and their guests waiting on one for dinner would of course be an outrageous offense. I dressed as hastily as I was able, but just as I was putting on the finishing touches to my costume my white tie bursted. I was in a predicament from which for a moment I saw no means of rescuing myself. I did not have time to get another tie, and of course I could not wear a black one. As well as I could, however, I put the white tie about my neck, fastened it with a pin, and earnestly prayed that it might remain in decent position until the dinner was over. Nevertheless I trembled all through the dinner for fear that my tie might go back on me. I succeeded in reaching the summer palace about ten minutes before the time to go into the dining room. Here again I was met by the King's Chamberlain by whom I was conveyed through a series of rooms and, finally into the presence of the King who, after some conversation, led me where the Queen was standing and presented me to her. The Queen received me graciously and even cordially. She spoke English perfectly, and seemed perfectly familiar with my work. I had, however, a sneaking idea that Minister I gain was responsible for a good deal of the lambarity which hone to King and Queen seemed to exhibit regarding Tuskegee. As I control the reception room there were about twenty or twenty five people who were to be entertained at dinner. I will not attempt to describe the elegance, not to say splendor or everything in connection with the dinner. As I ate food for the first time in my life out of gold dishes, I could not but recall the time when as a slave boy I ate my syrup from a tin plate. I think I got through the dinner pretty well by following my usual custom, namely, of watching other people to see just what they did and what they did not do. There was one place, however, where I confess I made a failure. It is customary at the King's table, as is true at other functions in many portions of Europe, I understand, to drink a silent toast to the King. This was so new and strange to me that I decided that, since I did not understand the custom, the best thing was to frankly confess my ignorance. I reassured myself with the reflection that people will easier pardon ignorance than pretense. At a certain point during the dinner, each guest is expected, it seems, to get the eve of the King and then rise and drink to the health of the King. When he rises he makes a how to the King and the King returns the how. Nothing is said by either the King or the guest. I think practically all the invited guests except myself went through this performance. It seemed to me a very fitting way of expressing respect for the King as the head of a nation and as a man, and now that I know something about it, I think if I had another chance I could do myself credit in that regard. During the dinner I had the privilege of meeting a very interesting old gentleman, now some eighty years of age, the uncle of the King, Prince who spoke good English. I had a very interesting conversation with him, and since returning to America I have had some correspondence with him. As I have already said, the Queen Mother of England was at this time in Copenhagen, and as I afterwards learned her sister, the Queen Mother of Russia was also there. As both of these were in mourning on account of the recent death of King Edward, they did not appear at this dinner. I was reminded of their presence, however, when as I was leaving the King's palace after my interview in the morning, one of the marshals presented me with two autograph books, with the request that I inscribe my name in them. One of the books, as I afterward learned, belonged to the Queen Mother of England. The other belonged to the Queen Mother of Russia. After the dinner was over, my next problem was to get away in time to catch the night train for London, where I had a very important engagement to speak before the Liberal Club. At the time of my audience with the King in the morning, I had told him that I was compelled to take a night train for London. I very much feared that he had forgotten this, and I knew, of course, that it would have been entirely out of place for me to have left the King's palace without his command. At a convenient hour after the dinner, the King very kindly and graciously came up to me, shook my hand, and gently and tactfully reminded me that the Queen would be glad to bid me goodnight, as I had to catch my train. In this way I got away in ample time for my train. I went straight from the King's palace to Minister Egan's residence. I told him all about my adventures and he seemed quite as much pleased as I was that I had gotten through with it so successfully as I did. I was accompanied to the station by a committee of Danish gentlemen, who looked after every possible comfort. Thus ended one of the most pleasant and eventful days of my life. A Comparison and a Contrast (Continued from Page 1) "O, don't mention it. We are too glad to accommodate one of our own color. You are entirely welcome to our little home, such as it is." A hasty repast was prepared and several hours were spent in general conversation. I asked a series of questions calculated to bring out the main points in this interesting sociological situation of a single Negro family in an entirely white environment. I learned that Benjamin's parents had moved to this community from Missouri immediately after the Civil War; but all the rest of the family had either died or moved away, leaving this solitary survivor. Mrs. Jones was born in a village about twenty miles distant and was the product of somewhat similar conditions as her husband. They had both attended the district schools and had gained all their experiences in life from their white environment. They exhibited about the same grade of intelligence and range of ideas as might be expected to prevail in such a community as this. Their language and forms of speech conformed to the standard of the ordinary farmer folk. Indeed, Ms. Jones was the only one of her occasional errors of grammar into glaring evidence. In response to my inquiry, if she had ever traveled East, she replied: "I have been as far East as Pittsburg, once." Benjamin had learned the trade of a tyler from his father, who brought the craft with him when he immigrated from Missouri. He plied his trade throughout that neighborhood for a radius of ten miles. His only difficulty consisted in getting helpers in his work, as the whites showed a marked indisposition to work under a colored boss. However, he was able in one way or another, by tactful handling, to secure the needed assistance. Mrs. Jones, although there was no apparent necessity for it, serves as household helper in the more wealthy families about the village. With a far-reaching implication which I hardly expected my hosts to comprehend, I asked: "Do you feel lonely up here among these people?" The quick reply impbed previous meditation, if not premeditation: "We keep too busy to allow ourselves to think about it." "Don't your neighbors treat you all right?" "O, yes, but you know how white people are." "How many churches are there in the village?" "About six, representing the several denominations." "Of course, you attend church?" "Years, we do." "Which church do you attend?" "O, we go to the Methodist church in——" "Now is the capital of the state, sixteen miles away?" "Of course, we feel more at home among our own people," they continued beyond the necessary response to any inquiry. "We take the train early Sunday morning and spend the whole day in the city with our friends." "Do you ever think of moving away from this community, so as to come into closer touch with your friends?" "Probably we would, but we have bought our property here and understand how to make a living among these people." "Have you any children?" "No, thank God, we have only ourselves to look after. If we had children, reckon we would move to town." The night was spent in asking and answering questions of this import. By six o'clock next morning the husband and wife were on their way to their work, and I was moving to the station. As I rode through a wide expanse of country without seeing a single colored face, I found myself musing upon the lot of this isolated Negro family. But while I mused the fire was burning. "Wendell Phillips" time of the chief distinctions Weed a Phillips justly earned and so well deserved was to be called an *Axilator*. "Agitation," said he, is an old word with a new meaning. Sir Robert Fell defined it to be "the marshmallow of the conscience of a nation to mould its law. Its means are reason and argument, to appeal to arms. Eternal vigilance is the pulse of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few. Only by continual oversight can the Democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a depot, only by unintermitted agitation can people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be anothered in material prosperity. Republics exist only on the terms of being constantly agitated. Never, to our latest posterity, can we do without prophets like Garrison, to stir up the monotony of wealth and rewake the people to the great ideas that are constantly fading out of our winds...to trouble the waters R.V. REVERDY C. RANSOM that there must be health in their flow. that there must be health in their flow" "This figured epithet of injustice and oppression is to day brought forth from its pre-servancy archives, to be hurled at the noble men and women who are standing for justice to the Negro. 'Imprisonment' 'Breeders of strife between the races'" "We should not count it strange that many who have enlisted in the unpopular cause of our poor and deprived race have had their ardor chilled by the cold indict forence and unresponsiveness of their friends, while many who continue with us as advocates of our cause would comprise our blood bought and invaluable rights for political gain and social peace to please oppression and silence the vote of ridicule andensure from the weather one press of America." "I vote the sentiments of millions of our race when I take the liberty to use the rostrum of Plymouth Church as a megaphone to light to say to the American people that the Negro wants neither the money nor the sympathy of those who do not believe in his counties of mourn and who do not record to him the same political rights; the same educational advantages and the same freedom in every pathway of opportunity. He is neither grateful nor unresponsive but having been so often plundered and betrayed, he prefers to stand and mark time rather than follow the leadership of men, organizations or parties, the gentulness of whose credentials he has not thoroughly examined and the unrightness of whose motives has not been clearly disclosed. The traitors within the ranks of our race are known. They have neither our confidence nor our hearts. What standing they have is due to the powerful support which is given by misguided men of great wealth, by politicians, who for personal or partisan advantages would use them to profit by the vanishing remnants of the Negro's political power, and by a newspaper press whose approving vote is the mouthpiece of a defendant public opinion which would let the Negro question work itself out under the baneful influence of the many degrading forms of Jim Crowism. At a time of recurrence of sentiment against the Negro, the friends of freedom have eagerly acted upon the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, John Greenleaf Whittier, Elijah P. Lovejoy, John Brown, Charles Summer and Harriet Blocher Stowe, as a means of awakening the public conscience and creating a public opinion in favor of justice to the Negro. So tonight in this celebration of the centennial of the birth of Wendell Phillips we are here not so much to tell what he did then, as to point to what we, who would honor his memory, should do now. He stood for truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, for equal right and justice to all, without equitocation or compromise. While his spirit looks down upon us tonight from the star crowned heights to which he has ascended to enthroned high by the side of Garrison and Summer, we are here to reconceive and dedicate ourselves anew, not only to the cause of justice and equality to the Negro, but to humanity, without regard to race or color to creed. The carrying power of our voices may not reach, perchance, the ears of this might metropolis, much less the county at large, but if under the power of this new baptism we continue to cry aloud with no uncertain sound, the nation, the Supreme Court, the press and even the pulpit will hear. The spirit in which we agitate is needed for rescue and perseverance of our American democracy; it is needed to uprove the Negro themselves to write and take an unyielding stand while a vengeance of the rich dower, which was handed down on the point of a million bounties remains. This is not the time to make a drawing room, to paraphrase the words in which Daniel Connell justified his purpose in seeking to write from England justice for Ireland. The hearts of North America are arrogant, that it needs independence, living on insolence and a defiance that will touch extreme limits, to breathe into any own race, to teach our own attention, and to enter into our attention. Wendell Phillips was a clerkship for twenty years. At the beginning of his career he was a clerk on the side of the church; he wore the tail of no political party; he refrained from voting and repudiated the Constitution as a slave without a country. Thus he stood against slavery within the church. He was a clerk in his own work. It was Phillips's clerkship that led to his arrest. He was arrested on November 11, 1837. Slave Holders was on all occasions. Mr. Delphina de Carthage. The clerkship Mr. Phillips persistently followed until he was imprisoned in his own words. "I was a Disunionist who was twenty years. I did hate the union, union meant the in the political union meant the in the political white man hypocrites and black men. I did prefer purity to peace. Iacknowledges it. I did prefer disunion to being a light man of wrants. Iacknowledges man more of more constitutions, humanity and justice of more worth than law. Wilberforce University and Its President Wilberforce University and Its President WHEN the Negro race in Ohio took the first organized step towards its own education in the state, it could never have dreamed of the institution which sixty-four years later would stand as the outgrowth of that initial effort. If Daniel A. Payne could have foreseen what Wilberforce University, the child of his heart and prayers, was to become in these years so long after he came in 1852 to the little but fashionable watering place of "Tawawa Springs," his discouragements would have been greatly lessened, and he would have been able to push forward the work with a zeal and enthusiasm which only the prophetic vision of the present prosperity of Wilberforce University could have aroused. The Wilberforce of today is the realized hope of the prayers and faith he had in its future. As a friend has recently said: "The first epoch of the history of the school determined its community character and influence which to-day is 1 PROF. W. S. SCARBOROUGH President of Wilberforce University of the best—a community of color—exceptional in material possessions, in character, in heredity and in social standing." The school received a severe blow when the Civil War broke out. Then "its Southern patronage ceased and the institution passed from the hands of the white leaders into ours. It was bravely taken up, however, by the Negro, when Daniel A. Payne purchased the property for $10,000. A poor people was henceforth to guide and manage its interests. Then came a crowning disaster in the fire that swept away its one main building just as the debt was reduced to $2,500. Even the most optimistic could then have hardly seen the vision of its present greatness in the ruins that shouldered that April day in 1865. Out of these ruins and a few small summer cottages—out of the watering place of "Tawawa Springs" has issued a great transformation. For years the material growth was slow, but to-day it stands with four large united departments in operation, college, theological, normal and industrial and military, with some four hundred students. Its military department is equipped and sustained by the United States Government, the only Negro school in the country thus supported. It now has twenty-three completed buildings, including five large halls, a library and cottages and farmhouses. Aside from this there are two large brick halls at present in process of erection, while the fifty-two acres have become 350. This is a long step from one building, a few small cottages, a primary department of instruction, two teachers and a handful of students. To-day there are thirty-two teachers giving instruction in classical and scientific courses, in theology, in normal, academic and English preparatory; in music, art, military and in some twelve industries. It has a fine museum, a new chemical laboratory lately installed, a splendidly equipped machine shop for applied mechanics, and its business department is provided with every up-to-date facility for work. Its teachers' course has been enlarged to equal that of the best normal schools in the state and standards for college entrance and graduation have been raised to the highest. Its industries are rapidly being planned to meet the best scientific requirements. With both its material side and its intellectual making such prodigious strides, it points to its output of over seven hundred literary graduates and its thousands of undergraduates who are out in the world "making good" in various lines of usefulness. Wilberforce is the first school of the race, a school for the race and by the race, though its creed from its charter principles is broad enough to include the world of mankind. It makes no distinction in color, race or religion, though in the changing attitude of the public in these days of growing race prejudice, it finds that the patronage now is confined to the race. It has had two principals beginning with its earliest inception, followed by six presidents in fifty-two years, beginning with Dr. Richard S. Rust in 1859, who was followed by Bishop Daniel A. Payne. Of the former's work at Wilberforce, a recent writer has truly said: "Loyally and royally did he push forward the interests of the institution, rejoicing in its daily increasing prosperity and popularity, until the cloud of war darkened its shining way, necessitating the close of the school for those for those few months after the Civil War broke out." No one took this more to heart than its honored president, and no one so joyous as he when its life and usefulness were renewed under a new regime, when the race took up the work. Doctor Ruat was secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society for thirty years until his death not long ago. The present president is William Sanders Scarborough, a graduate of Oberlin College. For nearly four years he has now stood at the helm where he was vice-president for some ten years previous. President Scarborough brought to the position, broad scholarship a long and successful teaching experience, a thorough first-hand knowledge of the problems and necessities—the strength and weaknesses of the school, culture and urbanity of manner, tact and earnestness, a high Christian character, and a scholarly name and fame won as a writer in the world of letters at home and abroad. Hampered at the outset by many obstacles and confronting grave and peculiar perplexities in a trying situation, he at once showed himself master of it. In these years he has brought the University forward as by magic into the front rank of scholarly institutions. By his wide acquaintance with men of affairs everywhere, he has brought influential friends to its support, and has increased largely its financial stability. In no previous era have there been such immense forward strides on all sides. It is a new building era for the university. A THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1911. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY ARNETT HALL, WILBERFOR E UNIVERSITY large hall is about completed by the state, and an English friend has given a cottage which with the dormitory secured through Mr. Carnegie's gift will provide for the girls. He has also started a campaign for a new science hall with most favorable prospects and has a college chapel in mind. The trustees at his request have formed an investment committee which has done good work in properly caring for the properties of the school. Gifts have been more abundant than in any previous period. The state has been encouraged to be more generous in helping to improve all conditions and promote general interest. Several new scholarships have been added. Bishop Derrick has erected a magnificent fountain in memory of his wife at a cost of $1,000. Mrs. Foraker has given a most valuable painting of its life long friend, Senator Foraker. While President Scarborough has raised standards everywhere, he has also forwarded harmonious reciprocal relations between various departments, obliterating old antagonisms. He has the confidence of all his boards and of the legislators, of the influential men of his community, of his state and of the nation, for his name is known everywhere as a scholar and educator. The many learned societies to which he belongs are another evidence of the general esteem in which he is held. The governors of Ohio without regard to politics have endorsed his work at all times and the leading magazines and newspapers have lent their influence to aid him. In the magnificent meeting held in Washington last year by the Wilberforians, President Taft said, "What I am anxious to do is to testify by my presence to the deep interest that I have taken in the progress of that institution of learning (meaning Wilberforce University), which for fifty years has been in my native state and has been so full of usefulness for the race and the country." Senator Dick spoke of the work thus: "She (Ohio) is as proud of Wilberforce to-night as of any other institution of learning within her boundaries and in the effort that my friend, Dr. Scarborough, is making to broaden its field of usefulness." The late Justice Harlan, among other things, said: "When we find an Ohio university with the personnel of which Ohio public men are acquainted endorsed by such men as our honored President and Senator Dick, we may be satisfied that if we help it we are making a good institution." The university is situated most strategically and is destined from now on in its rapid growth to draw an increasing contingent of students to its walls. It has been kept wisely before the public eye by President Scarborough, who can even now look back over these few years of unintermitting hard work with profound satisfaction at the growth under his supervision which is little less than marvelous to any acquainted with the task he undertook. His has been a constructive administration from the beginning, which is an evidence of executive ability far beyond the ordinary. With it all he has gone on in his quiet, unassuming way, without brag or bluster. His work shows for itself; and if he is allowed to carry out his plans, Wilberforce University has before it a wonderful future of prosperity and usefulness. The Legal Profession BY WILLIAM H. LEWIS Assistant United States Attorney General The Legal Profession BY WILLIAM H. LEWIS Assistant United States Attorney General THERE is nothing so certain as that when we cease to be students of the law we shall cease to be lawyers. This is, therefore, merely the beginning of your labors; there is no end if you would attain even modest success in the profession of the law. Success waits on those who work; and works for those who wait. The law must keep pace with human progress, and what a pace is set these days; new fads of government, new forms of business enterprise, and the unparalleled industrial development of to-day. Yesterday her dominion was confined to the land; to-day she rules the sea; and to-morrow she will navigate the air. The student or lawyer who would keep up with her must keep on "this seven league boots" and a standing engagement with the "wings of the morning." The greatest enemy of the student and lawyer is the hook-worm of ease and idleness, and that most human failing commonly known as, and called, laziness. Avoid these as you would fire, pestilence and famine. I know lawyers who have not looked into a law book for five, ten and twenty years. They are like Grover Cleveland's friend-practice by ear and not by sight. They are obtaining a legal or rather an illegal livelihood by false pretenses. Don't get into that class. If not the noblest, the law is certainly the most important of all the professions. The ministry and medicine fail because men must die, the law deals with the most vital things of life. Man in his relation to organized society preserves his rights even before his birth, insures his person and property, regulates his conduct, defines and regulates his personal and property rights during his lifetime and looks after his property after death, at least for the period of the lives in esse and twenty-one years thereafter. It is the great connecting link of the generations of mep; it concerns nothing less than the security and happiness of the individual and the peace and progress of human society. Man attains his highest development only under the state, the state must be governed and the very end and object of all government is the administration of justice among men to compel them to keep peace and settle their disputes by law and not by wager of battle; to compel them to satisfy their wants by labor and not by plunder. Lord Brougham, speaking upon the law reform in the House of Commons in 1828, said "All the establishments formed by our ancestors and supported by their descendants were founded and are chiefly maintained in order that justice may be daily administered between man and man." Law and justice are not yet synonymous, but I believe the time will come with the development of man and the evolution of human society when no one will be able to detect the difference. What would our present civilization amount to or these glorious institutions by which we are surrounded but for a body of men learned in the law to assist in the making and interpretation and the enforcement of the law. The man who desires the office of the lawyer, indeed, desires a great office. The student should examine himself carefully to see whether he is really fitted for the profession. Put yourself upon the witness stand. Administer solemn oath and cross examine yourself to the limit and see whether you have been really called to the bar. If a man seeks the profession simply as a personal adjustment he will probably do no great harm either to himself or the profession. If he seeks the law simply because it is a gentleman's calling or because it will enable him to earn an easy livelihood, he is destined to failure and disappointment. Unless the student seems irresistibly drawn towards the profession and unless the study of the law is little less than a passion, he had better let it alone. The student should examine himself seriously, but once having made up his mind, as Lord Eldon says, "To live like a hermit and work like a horse," should plunge in and work and wait and wait and work. Another question which the student of the law should seriously ask himself is "Am I prepared by previous literary training to take up the study of the law?" The law is pre-eminently a learned profession, it lays heavy tribute upon every field of human knowledge. The practice and the proper application of the principles of the law to particular cases calls for a greater variety of information upon a greater variety of subjects than any other profession. The day is tar pist when six months' schooling and a six weeks' study of the law will suffice to make a great lawyer. Patrick Henry and Abraham Lincoln were exceptions. Genius is always an exception especially if it has been inspired by some great eras like the revolution or the war of the Constitution which gives us respectively Henry and Lincoln. Great advances in the intelligence of the people as a result of popular education and multiplication of the subjects with which a lawyer must deal requires a more liberal training on the part of the lawyer than ever before. Besides, we live in a competitive age. Democracy is essentially competitive, it grants no monopoly. Manufactures, industry, commerce, mining and farming are open to all and each individual is up against the fiercest kind of competition, and in it the trained intellect counts. Of all the pathetic sights that climb up some courthouse stairs, none compares to the illiterate lawyer with his pompous and asinine airs. If any one feels that his previous training is defective or wanting in essential elements, he should supplement his study of the law with the widest and most varied reading. "Reading," says Bacon, "maketh a full man." There are other ways of getting full. Avoid these. Read history, literature, government, politics. These are easily read and easily retamed. Read the lives of the Lord Chancellors, the lives of the Chief Justices, study the great masters of our profession—Coke and Mansfield, Story, Erskine, Burke, Choate study their styles, their methods and the results obtained by them. In the study of the law itself, I commend you especially the mastery of the Common Law, that great body of "Principles and Usages and Rules of Action applicable to the government and the security of persons and property," which the early colonists adopted from England and which formed the basis of our American jurisprudence. It is said that there is no common law of the United States, but the Federal Courts are engaged in applying the principles of the common law every day and the "rule of reason" asserted in the trust decision is simply a guarantee of the common law. You may not agree with Blackstone that it is the perfection of reason and common sense, but this is certain that it is the accumulated wisdom and experience of the Anglo-Saxon race for upwards of a thousand years. The statutes of the states are important, since in some instances they adopt and in other cases modify the common law and deal with subjects that the common law does not touch, but do not make the mistake of Ben Butler's law student. Equity, admiralty, constitutional and international law you will probably get only a glimpse of unless you specialize and you will have little use or call for either until you are well advanced in your profession, but it is safe to say that no one ever became a great lawyer among the English speaking race who had not mastered the principles of the common law. Let me advert for a moment to a few personal traits which I think so essential to a good lawyer. In the first place, character counts for more and more in the profession, a quality not acquired by purchase or descent as a coat to be worn or put off at will, but as something, a part of the man, in fact the man himself. There is no longer any great public worship of the mere smartness and trickery of the shyster and charlatan. The public ideals of the lawyer have changed. The people will not trust their affairs of state or their liberty or property except to men of proved integrity and inflexible honor. Reputation for fair ability and acting honestly will go further and last longer than talent of a higher order, or even genius if coupled with knavery Bluff, bluster and blackguarding will get you nowhere. The legal bully browbeating, herating and bulldozing of witnesses, insulting and hectoring the bench, appealing to the vilest and lowest prejudices of juries belongs to the dat. ages of the profession. Above all things pray God to be gentlemen Again, a reputation among the members of the profession for keeping your word, being a man whose agreement can be relied upon without always having to reduce them to writing is a most valuable business asset. Reputation with the court for intellect and honesty, never attempting to deceive or mislead, coupled with thoroughness in the preparation of cases, readiness to assist the court by authorities in point are the greatest capital the lawyer can have. Be master of yourself at all times, collected, calm and self poised. Don't lose your head and don't let anybody "get your goat." Anger is a waste of energy and the quality of little minds. Demean yourself always with becoming modesty, with due deference to the opinions of others, yet never say die, and act with persistence and pertinacity in protecting the interests of your clients. Cultivate simplicity, straightforwardness, directness, sincerity and earnestness of speech, these are the qualities that exalt and which carry conviction. The client in your office, the judge in court are both too busy to listen to mere words and senseless declamation, what they are both after are results. The less you say, the less chance of anybody knowing how little you know and both are a decided advantage. The law is indeed no respecter of persons, the honors and emoluments are open to all who serve faithfully and live up to her high ideals. The state and nation to-day just as in former times are calling on the lawyer for services and leadership and the great business enterprises of our day more than ever before are demanding trained legal talent for business administration. We shall probably not snatch any laurels from Moses and Solon and Napoleon as makers of law, nor is it probable that we shall find a place by the side of Bentham and Romilly and other great reformers of the law; we may not take rank with Marshall and Webster as interpreters and expounders of the Constitution, but each one of us in his community in which he lives by character, conduct, attainment and achievement may stand for civic virtue and for disinterested public spirit, and be a great conservative force so necessary in the affairs of man. When we contemplate the immensity of the subject with which we deal, that ours is a universe of laws, spiritual, civic, economic, social—all informing, protecting and guiding men through their earthly existence. When we contemplate that human law emanates from the Divine will, the student is filled with reverence and awe and deepest humility as he enters the lofty temple of jurisprudence.

Moseley is proprietor and manager of the well known little Pikin Theatre at Norfolk, Va. The theatre is one of the most beautiful little vaudeville and picture houses in the South. Mr. Moseley is a baker and the third owner of one of the few colored houses in the South. He manages his own theatre and has no white person connected whatsoever. Mr. Moseley is the pioneer show man in Virginia, being the first colored man to open a vaudeville and picture house in that State. For three years without closing a single day he has conducted his house on stetty business principles, and has won the respect of both the public and his vaudeville acts (placing small time about the country with his fair and square dealings at all times). Mr Moseley is a statistic member of the C.V.R.A. in good standing. Mr Moseley is a native of Georgia, and came to Virginia in 1906. He conducted an up-to-date hotel and buffet for two years in the City of Richmond where he is also well known, he married one of the belles of that city, and he is the author of that who is a trained nurse and one of the first graduates of the famous Richmond Hospital training school. They have one son, little C.W. Moseley, Jr. three years old, and a chip, off the old block. Mr Moseley has made a success in the show business as he owns his own home as well as a 40 horse power automobile. Mr Moseley is also associated in business with his brother, G.W. Moseley, Richmond, Va. They own the Tolkien Theatre in Richmond, Va. They own the Idlehour Theatre in Petersburg, Va. These three houses, with one exception, are the only houses in Virginia owned and managed by colored men. [Name] HARVEY BAKER Harvey Baker is to-day one of New York's leading and most popular teachers of vocal and instrumental music. His most movement in organizing the Harlem Bowl Singing School is considered one of the most directive and generally beneficial to those desiring to study music at alight once ever before inaugurated. It aims to give its patrons a general idea of vocal music, the solfegraph being taught through the most valuable system. Its pupils will be in time capable of reading the vocal scores of classmates he has never been taught to the public by his teacher "The Japanese Girl" a charming operetta in two acts, full of brilliant spirit and harmony, will have its first presentation to the public. The first musical was given December 6, 1911, and was declared a success, there being over one hundred people in the hall at 60 West 24th street, the first performance of a professionally trained solo of Prof. Baker's pupils. They showed superior training and reflected great credit to their teacher. The public has much to look for from Harvey Baker. A MERRY CHRISTMAS WM.

Young, familiarly known as "Gib" Young, and proprietor of Young's Cafe, 126 West 135th street, consumed a deal whereby he came 1. into possession of a plot of ground at Park avenue and 134th street, 100 feet wide by 140 feet deep, for twenty-one years, with the permission to renew the national twenty-one years thereby making the life of the lease forty-two years. Work will at once be begun erecting a fireproof brick building, 85 feet by 140 feet, to consist of two floors. The first floor will be used as a roller skating rink and the second floor as a dance hall. The second floor will be provided with a stage twenty-five feet wide, with four dressing rooms, so that amateur theatrical entertainments can be conveniently given. This floor will be able to seat 3,800 persons at one time. There will be forty-eight boxes built in the dance hall. Mr. Young announces that work will be rushed on the new structure so that it will be read for occupancy some time in April. The design includes land lease and the cost for erecting the building, involves $105,000, and it is estimated that by the time the place is fitted out with all interior equipments many additional thousands will have been expended. The dance floor will be forty-four feet wide by ninety feet deep. The new amusement place will overlook the Harlem River and during the summer months the management will construct a roof garden atop the building. INSIST ON THEIR RIGHTS (Continued from Page L.) every angle the relative attitudes of each contending faction in the effort to harmonize political differences in the State, to subordinate personal ambition, to rid the national assemblages of continuous rancorous and bitter criminals of race feeling, and what not, by representing to the approaching National Convention one organization, and, for once in the history of Republican politics in Louisiana, an uncontested delegation. We respectfully urge you to try and bring order out of chaos—to restore manhood rights and privileges in the party organization to all Republicans, for fair and equitable representation in party management, without regard to condition, creed or color, and the placing of the seal of condemnation for all time upon the destructive, unrighteous and unrepublican doctrine of "Lily Whiteism."

She said among other good things that while all work is honorable, common labor itself will never lift the Negro above being mankind; that in pioneer days the mankind needed the assistance of the women and the men were so slow in taking up the gainful pursuits the women should come to his rescue; that profitable employment prevents mental stagnation and paper by saying that education is power; respectability is power; religion is power; but money is powerful, and the Negro can never hope to be powerful unless he enters the business pursuits and gets money.

WALTON Harlem's Newest Theatre, to be Controlled and Managed by Negroes, Located in West 138th Street, Between Fifth and Lenox Avenues. THEATRICAL COMMENT ARTICLES of incorporation were issued at Albany last week by the Secretary of State to the Johnson Amusement Company, which has perfected plans to erect a modern theatre with lodge rooms for colored people in Harlem's Newest Theatre, to West 130th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues. Saturday the plans of the proposed theatre were filed with the Building Department, and work will soon commence on the newest of Harlem playhouses. A meeting of the directors of the Johnson Amusement Company was held Friday evening, and John E. Nail and James Reese Europe were elected on the board. The officers are: Thomas Johnson, president; Harry Kraton, vice-president; Fred R. Moore, treasurer; Lester A. Walton, secretary, who are directors, together with G. L. Young, B. D. Wilkins, Maurice Runkle, John E. Nail and James Reese Europe. A New Stage Spectacle. From a standpoint of realism, the stage reached its high-water mark on Thursday, December 14, at Jackson, Ga., when William, Tuner, colored, was hanged in Kink's Opera House. All modern producers who enjoy distinction for staging plays of dramatic interest true to life have been compelled to doff low their various styles of headgear to the latest theatrical promoters under whose auspices such a ghoulish, ghastly and gory, spectacle was presented. Advices from Jackson, Ga., tell us that William Tuner was not hanged in the jail yard because the weather was disagreeable and the Sheriff was fearful that the spectators would get wet; so the prisoner was taken to Kink's Opera House and put to death on the stage of the playhouse. Information has not reached us just why the Rev. William Tuner (for it is said that he was a preacher) was taken to a theatre to come in such close proximity to the noose instead of a church, a school house or a hospital. Probably it was because his Christian name was William suggested the stage by reason of William Shakespeare's connection with the world of make believe; or maybe the surname of Tuner, a rather musical name, was responsible for the bright idea. The entertainment was very exclusive, as the Sheriff issued only a certain number of tickets. The press dispassionate in state whether the audience was roused to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the spectacular production and if the Sheriff was called before the drama to make a speech, who, with the same trickling down his rugged cheeks, suddenly thanked those present for the elaborate appreciation shown. For nearly three hundred years the drama has been one of the chief sources of entertainment, culture and entertainment, and it is rather difficult to determine what influence this weird Passion play will have on civilization.

STAGEOLOGY AT CAPITAL CITY The headliners at the Howard Theatre last week were easily the Two Sweets who made their appearance before the footlights, with all the ease and grace that goes with clever performers of their class. The rest of the bill comprised The Hatchers, who were fair; and Vaughner and Lorraine, who filled the place left vacant on account of the failure of Ray and Williams. The Griffin Sisters were at the Blue Mouse and filled the theatre at every show each evening. They closed their sixth week last Saturday. They are simply a scream here. The Ginger Girls played at the Star last week. Their act was a little too "high-brow" and did not go as well as one would expect. This week they are at the Fairyland, where they held forth six weeks last summer with success. Merryweather and Brown were on the bill at the Foraker Theatre last week and went big. This team is from the west and seem to have won big favor on eastern soil. They have developed a large following here.

Church, held its first set of monthly games for members in the gymnasium of the Parish House, 133rd street, west of Seventh avenue. All of the events were brilliantly contested and some sterling performances were recorded. The feature event of the evening, an done which brought out a very large field, was the two-mile road race, with handicaps ranging up to 1 minute and 30 seconds, with W. Stokely their sterling performer, on the honor mark. The start of the race was from the Parish House, to Seventh avenue, to 153rd street, and return. Stokely took it easy on the way up, and caught his field on the turn at 153rd street, and from there to 145th street it was a pretty race between himself and De Stiva, but from that point Stokely lengthened his stride, and finished in the creditable time of 10.05, which was remarkable considering the inclementy of the weather. The race brought out the largest number of competitors, requiring eight heats, to reach the semifinals, and on that account could not be completed, each heat was hotly contested, and kept the spectators in a fever of excitement, some of the fastest heats were, C. J. Greene, 0.20; R. J. Hargrove, 0.19 1-5; A. N. Archer, 0.19. Summary of the events: Twenty-yard Dosh (Handicap)—E. Wilson (4 ft.), first; R. Waller (3 ft.), second; A. N. Archer (2 ft.), third.

Says Demand is Offense Mode For White Walwens at Pardon ...Liam Good Leaf- ed Walwens Are Hard to Find Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. PIRRAUSC, Pa., Dec. 19.—All the colored waiters at the Rittenhouse cafe, one of the leading restaurants in this city, have been discharged and their phones filled by white men. The Rittenhouse Cafe is the last of the big eating phones to dispense with the services of colored waiters, and the latest removal of Negro help has occasioned much talk. An Ace representative called on W. R. Kuhn, the senior member of the Rittenhouse establishment, who freely discussed the matter. He stated that his firm had always advocated a square deal for colored workmen and referred to the fact that the concern still had colored help in its employ, but admitted that it was to the best interest of the cafe that white men were installed in the dining room. Upon being asked if the change was made at the demand of the patrons, Mr. Kuhn said: "Such a demand is seldom made, but in serving outside parties quite often we are asked to send white waiters. Of course in most cases it is left to the discretion of the house." Mr. Kuhn spoke of a party given recently in Pittsburgh in which the host gave as his reason for wanting white waiters was that he desired them to dress as Japanese. According to Mr. Kuhn the request for white waiters is generally made by Jews. It was denied by Mr. Kuhn that the colored waiters were discharged because one of them rified the cash register, as had been rumored. While he admitted that the cash register had been robbed several times he declared that these incidents had nothing to do with the removal of Nestroes. Mr. Kuhn concluded the interview by saying that good colored waiters were hard to find in Pittsburgh; that many Negroes who stop driving wagons, etc., put on a good suit of clothes and apply for jobs as waiters when they are not worth $1.50 a day. John F. Pinkney, the first Negro employed as headwaiter at the Rittenhouse Cause, and who is now engaged in business for himself, deplores the ousting of colored waiters in the leading cafes of Pittsburgh, and coincides with Mr. Kuhn in that there is much room for improvement among colored waiters from headwaiter down. BACH TO THE PENTENTIARY University Assistant of Dr. Washington Supported for Wife Desertion Unable to Secure a Bondman. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 19.—On complaint of the Children's Aid and Pro-tective Society of the Oranges, Henry A. Ulrich, Dr. Washington's assailant, pleaded guilty on December 6th of wilful neglect and desertion of nis wife and two minor children. Ulrich was arraigned before County Court Judge Davis, in Newark. The following sentence was imposed upon Ulrich: "That he placed on probation in the custody of the Chief Pro-Probation Officer of Essex County, John J. Guscoyne, for a term of three years and to furnish a bona fide bond of $1,000, to pay $10 a week to the Probation Officer of Essex County during that term for the support of his wife and children." In default of furnishing the bond, Ulrich is to stand committed to the Essex County Penitentiary at Caldwell, New Jersey, for one year or until such time as he can furnish the bond within that time. It is said that Ulrich has thus for been unable to secure a proper bondment in Essex County and that he will stand committed to the penitentiary to serve out his sentence. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Buracca, N.
