VOL. XXV. No. 13. Opinions Differ as to Best Way to Stop Wholesale Outrages Many Think President Taft Should Appoint Special Attorney to Investigate Lynchings. Houston Post Condemn Lynchings and Thinus That the States Will Move to Deal With Mob Law. There seems to be a decided difference in opinion relative to what is the most practical step for the Negroes of the United States to take to put a stop to the lynching evil which is getting worse instead of diminishing. There are many Negroes who believe that Federal interference is necessary, and that President Taft should appoint a special attorney to investigate lynchings, the argument being advanced that a special attorney was appointed by the President to look into the dynaming outrages with which the McNamaras were connected. Those who are advocating that five thousand Negroes invade the capital city in the spring and demand that the President and Congress take some action toward putting down lynchings are enthusiastic over the plan and claim that the pilgrimage is made it will be productive of some very gratifying results. On the other hand, a number of white papers, particularly in the South, do not believe that an invasion on the capital city by Negroes will tend to solve the problem. It is contended that the lynching evil must be dealt with by the states. Under the caption "A Negro Protest League," the Houston Post says: the North, we believe, organized to Thaw in a Negro league, because in protest against the lynching of members of the Negro race, and the displeasure tell us that it is the purpose of the organization to invade Washington next spring 5,000 strong for the purpose of demanding that President Taft put an end to lynching. We could fervently hope that such a mission might be entirely successful, as the lynching evil in the United States has become almost intolerable. As it is, however, there seems to be nothing in sight for this movement save considerable annoyance for the President. The lynching evil must be dealt with by states. Lynching in murder and an offense against the laws of the state wherein it is committed, and the President can do little more than sympathize with a sentiment that seeks to suppress it. "It occurs to the Past, however, that the Negro protest league of the North is about one of the most uneasy organizations in the country, so far as the protection of Negroes is concerned. The members of this league are men and women of more or less education, but what are they doing for the uplift of the race to which they belong? For the most part they were schooled at public expense, and yet they recognize no obligation to use their time or talents for the benefit of the vast mass of black ignorance, in the South. They selfishly flock together in the Northern cities and leave the millions of Negroes who have lached equal opportunities to grope as best they may out of the bondage of ignorance and crime. "Negro education is backward in the Southern States because the school funds available for the education of Negro children are not used, for them. One reason why this is so is that there is a stupendous lack of Negro teachers. Negroes who by reason of their education and opportunities might teach Negro schools in the South do not like to associate with the poorer and more ignorant people of their race, so they flock to the North and discharge their obligations to the ignorant and shiftless members by doing something foolish, just as this protest league is doing. Every Negro of education in the country ought to be at work in the South aiding the faithful few who are trying to improve the conditions among the Negro masses. The opportunity for service in this respect is almost without limit, and yet it is an opportunity that is for the most part wasted. There are in Texas probably 150,000 Negro children of school age, and there is nearly $1,000,000 a year available for their instruction. Three-fifths of this sum is probably diverted to the education of white children because it is impossible to get the Negro parents to send their children to school. Here is so much opportunity lost. "We mention the matter to show that one of the best ways to combat the lynching evils is to reduce crime and importance among the Negroes themselves. We do not mean to say that the effort to suppress lynching should end there, but that the field for fruitful effort in that direction is almost without limit. The intelligent Negroes who are locking to the North to escape contact with the humble and important members of their race are sharing a duty which would mean much if it were faithfully performed." PAPER MAKES PLEA Greenhore Dolly Record Wants Negroes of the North to Study Conditions in the South More Thoroughly— The Ago Praised for Its Stand. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE GREENSBORO, N. C., December 26.—In an article appearing in a recent issue of the Greensboro Daily Record, one of the most influential papers in the South, in which The Age is praised for its courage in declaring that Governors of Southern States give more friendly advice to the Negro than do the Governors of Northern States, an appeal is made that the Northern Negro becomes better acquainted with Southern conditions, the Daily Record saying: It is interesting to us to note how these colored people in the South get on with leading officials. Seldom or never does one read of the Governor of a Northern state attending any of the conferences of our people, nor do we read of any of them offering words of advice which will help to encourage colored people to be acting. A rule Northern Governor are never to be found around colored people except when they are seeking their votes. When strong men like Governor O'Neal are willing to speak out openly in praise of the loyalty of Negroes and in determined assurance of his intention to mete out even-handed justice to blacks and whites alike they are entitled to our thanks. For one, The Age intends to give proper report to all such incidents. It is in the kind of thing *f* which we publish this newspaper. "On its face it seems strange that the colored brother did not long ago 'get on' to the game played for forty years by our Northern friends, who yet express so much solicitude for them—always brother, the man who can vote—yet, thinking over it one can see why. The Republican party made the colored people understand that it set them free; that it was going to still look after them and in certain cases was going to give them forty acres of land, a mule, etc., so that the race naturally banked on the party and in their surroundings it was not easy to get a line on the inside of all such protestations, but THE Ace is there and speaks out in meetin'. "Strange as it may seem, however, there are Negroes North and East as well as West, who cannot see as does The Acat and they are no doubt abusing that paper for its boldness. In Boston right now educated Negroes are to be found who are satisfied they would be lynched were they to come South. Negroes from this section who have visited Boston have told them the true situation, but nothing shakes their belief; they call all Negroes from the South, on errands like this liara. "A prominent Negro of this state was in Denver last summer and a member of his race, an educated man—actually asked him if he was permitted to walk around and go where he pleased! Of course he told him yes, and tried to make the situation clear, but said he failed." HUSBAND AND WIFE BURied George E. Dickerson and Hattie Dickerson, Found Dead at Their Jersey Home Saturday—Many Attend Funeral. Special to The New York Am. JERSEY Crrr, Dec. 27.—The sequel to last Saturday's double tragedy in this city, which resulted in the death of George E. Dickerson and Mrs. Hattie Dickerson, at their home, 359 Randolph street, took place Tuesday afternoon when the bodies of husband and wife were buried side by side in New York Bay Cemetery after funeral services had been held over their remains in the Monumental Baptist Church. Many were unable to gain entrance into the church, which was crowded, and the floral tributes were beautiful. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Smith, pastor of the Monumental Baptist Church, who found much difficulty in speaking over the remains, shedding tears frequently. The Rev. Mr. Smith and Mr. Dickerson had been friends for many years, and the latter was one of the founders of the church. There were about ten other ministers present. George E. Dickerson and wife were found dead in their bedroom last Saturday morning by a colored acquaintance and a police officer, who were attracted by the smell of gas. Upon entering the house they discovered gas escaping from the bedroom, and found husband and wife dead. Mr. Dickerson was lying in bed in the arms of Mrs. Dickerson, who was bending over him. The city officials, upon investigating the case reached the conclusion that when Mrs. Dickerson found that her husband was seriously ill she got out of bed, and turned on the gas to get some medicine; that before lighting the gas she rushed to the bedside of Mr. Dickerson whom she found dying. Mrs. Dickerson is said to have been troubled with a weak heart and it is thought that while she was trying to alleviate the misery of her husband she, too, expired. Mr. Dickerson, was one of the old colored residents of Jersey City and about a year ago retired from the Pulman service. Mrs. Hattle Dickerson was his third wife. Three children survive him—George A. Dickerson of Jersey City, Mrs. Alberta Gibson of Atlanta, Ga., and Miss Julia Dickerson, who is connected with the business department of The Aga. Mr. Dickerson was born April 16, 1883, and his last wife in August, 1887. The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

Evening Wisconsin says that Negroes are Very Desirable Citizens in Community. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE MILWAUKEE, Wis., December 26—According to the Evening Wisconsin, the Negroes of Milwaukee are ambitious, thrifty and very desirable citizens in the community. Many of them occupy representative positions and enjoy much success in the different branches of the professional world. An article appearing recently in the Wisconsin says: "A study of conditions among Milwaukee's colored population reveals the fact that the Negro, as a rule, is inclined to work out his own salvation. * * * The Northern Negro is not content merely to drift along, but is making a real effort to be of some use to his fellowmen. "Among the Negroes in this city are many who have attained positions of importance and a large number of them are property owners. There is a disposition on the part of the colored people to take advantage of the opportunities which are offered to them to educate their children so that they will not be compelled in the years to come to provide problems for sociologists. "The colored man in Milwaukee is ambitious to succeed," said a member of the race who has lived in this city for more than twenty years. "We have Milwaukee and I must say that, considering the circumstances surrounding our race, we are well treated. But there is one thing I would like to emphasize. We don't like to feel that we must be treated as dependents. We are brigging up our children as well as we can afford. We are lending them to your public schools. Many of our children will attend the high schools, and I believe I may say without boasting that our children rank high at graduation. "Of course when it comes to dropping professors or trades we are hard-capped. We rank that white man not very anxious to work with us, therefore we choose to take up particular work which allows him rule, do not care to provide him with the necessary training." coolest colored men in Milwaukee are railroad porters, disgruntled masters and the hit. To be quite frank, our race is best qualified for portrait, and that is what we like to do. The percentage of crime committed by the colored race in Milwaukee compared with other nationalities is small. In recent years, crime among colored people here is the exception rather than the rule. "There are some striking examples of success in the professions by Negroes in Milwaukee. Dr. N. L. Herron, who has been practicing here since 1896, is a graduate of Howard university, Washington, D. C., and has a wide following not only among his own race, but among white people. Dr. C. A. Johnson, also a graduate of Howard university, is a dentist. One of the fountains of the Negro are his teeth, yet Dr. Johnson is not complaining about civil injustice. The newspaper profession is represented by J. D. Cooke, publisher of the Weekly Defender. "Five years ago, Laurie Palmer, a Negro, was elected to the Wisconsin Assembly and made a fair record. William and Charles Johnson, employed at the Grant Marsh-Worris, are considered among the best skilled emancipators in the city. "John At Hull, while a porter at the Plastation Mason, studied during his spare memorials and has summer passed a civil servant emancipation. He now hold a charitable position under Commissioner Harry B. Rogers. "Other representatives of the race who have lived here many years are Samuel Bunting, Harry Blankenworker, Samuel Mothman, A. V. Bunney, Walter Hawkinson, Pete Gunie, Charles White, Gilbert Wishman and John Slaughter. "There are in this city branches of the colored Masons, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. They also have Catholic, Methodist and Lutheran churches." APRIGAND W. PHILADELPHIA. Special to New York Times. PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 27.—Dressed in bright colored glamour and wearing high turbans on their heads, two colored womens, gorgeous Africans, are attracting much attention in the vicinity of Touche and Lumber街 streets. Their names are following Otto, wife of Mamah Otto of Old Lumber street, and her eldest, Josephine Cullahill. Aside from their attire, the faces of both womens are lightly scarred, which were probably taken from their parents, and are often mistakenly called "The women are brave, brave, and the west coast of Adelaide is the city Wednesday." The city's statistician Merlah B. B. said the only one who could distinguish the nature merely by their capes was Otto, whom they knew their parents had pursued. Communication Services Hold—Offices Elected and Appointed for the Enoung Year. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. Boston, Dec. 27.—Judge Pierce of the Superior Equity Court, Suffolk County, last Friday afternoon dismissed the three cases brought in March, 1909, by William L. Reed against Prince Hall Grand Lodge, F. and A. M., of Massachusetts. Robert T. Teamoh, in 1909, when he was the Most Worshipful Master of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, suspended William L. Reed, M. W. P. G. M., for unmasonic conduct. Before the charges could properly be brought up in the Grand Lodge, Mr. Reed sought the Equity Court for an injunction to prevent Grand Master Teamoh, Eureka Lodge, and the Grand Lodge from carrying out the order of suspension. While the matter was before the courts the time of suspension lapsed. The Grand Lodge, out of respect for the law, could not take any action, and the Past Grand Master was allowed his Masonic rights and privileges. Last Friday the case finally came up and was at once dismissed because there was nothing for the plaintiff to stand on. The dismissal of the three cases by Judge Pierce clears the atmosphere in the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge and is of great importance to Negro Masons all over the country.

The most important feature brought out during the session was the first real start being made toward the erection of a building that will stand as a memorial to Prince Hall. The committee reported that land could be purchased at a reasonable figure. The Grand Lodge voted a sum sufficient to commence operations, and elected the following trustees to the Prince Hall Memorial Temple: Dr. Isaac' L. Roberts of Boston, William Floyd Marshall of Newtonville, Joseph D. Augustine of Cambridge, George Busby of Worcester, and Ralph Brown of Cambridge. The land is in the southern part of the city, in the midst of a growing colored neighborhood, and on one of the principal thoroughfares. Its plans have been tentatively designed by R.W. Corresponding Grand Secretary Joseph Andrews, who is a constructive architect. He was a lieutenant in one of the Philippine War regiments, and was detailed to superintend the construction of fortifications. The building will be five stories high, with elevator and safety stairways and other exits. The whole of the top floor will be given up to Mason's. On the first floor will be two stores and a main entrance. The second floor will contain offices, and the third and fourth floors will be halls for the use of other societies.

Henry Booth Since the mutilation last week Powell's "The Battle of Lake Blaeck which is regarded as one of the most valuable paintings at the head of the East Senate stairway in Washington, many Negroes have been heard to clare that the painting has always been an eyesore to intelligent Negroes, that it is looked upon by them as a slander on the Negro in the United States Navy. Among those sharing an opinion is the Rev. Reverdy C. H. Som, pastor of Bethel, A. M. E. Church who speaks of the painting as follows: "The Battle of Lake Eric," by W. Powell, which was mutilated by an act of vandalism in Washington last week calls attention to a fact that has been an offence to many lovers of this painting, described as one of the largest and most valuable paintings on the walls of the rotunda of the Capital at Columbus, O., as well as in the East Senate stairway at Washington. It has, for a generation, been an object to intelligent Negroes. Whatmore be its merits as a work of art, the painted lie which mistakes the history. This painting represents white men as standing figures. "In the summer of 1833 Corm (afterwards Commodore) Perry sent a letter to Commodore Commodore which he complained that in the lot of men had been sent in other things, he said: 'The man came by Mr. Champlain are a number of blacks, soldiers and boys. I think you saw them before you selected.' Commodore Commodore sent in part as follows: 'I regret that they are not pleased with the man painted by Messrs. Champlain and Perry to my knowledge, a part of them not surpassed by any sooner we have our fleet; and I have yet to learn the color of the skin, or the color trimmings of the cost, can show man's qualification or usefulness. I have fifty blacks on board of this ship many of them are among my best men. Crime of Vandalium Not Blown.' "Perry's former prejudice did not vent him from speaking highly of bravery and good conduct of the groen who formed a considerable part his crew. 'They seemed to be almost insensible to danger,' he said. Nathan Shaler, Commander of the vate-armed schooner 'Gov. Teenager wrote to his agent in New York a letter dated: At Sea, January 1, 1884. Before I could get our light in, and almost before I could turn round, was under the gunn of a transport, but of a brigate. Her first boundless killed two men and wounded others. The name of one of the poor fellows who was killed except to be registered in a book of facts and remembered with reverence as long as bravery is considered a virtue. He was a black man by the name of John Johnson. A twelve-four pound shot struck him in the hip and took away all the lower part of his body. In this state the poor brave fellow lay on deck and several times exclaimed to his shipmates: "Fire away, boys; haul a color down." The other was also black man by the name of John Davia, and was struck in much the same way. He for me, and several times requested to be thrown overboard, saying he was only in the way of the others. "Nothing we have said must be construed as excusing or palpitation crime of vandalism. I sincerely believe that the vandal in question will be prehended and suitably punished the fact remains that Powell's of Lake Erie" with its terror of Negro tars, is an offense to Indian Negroes, and a slender up on the gro in the United States Navy.

Friends and amateurs love the spirit of John Wesley and amateur Sunday, who said in part: "The subject of Pastor Beloved Wesley was not bower food and give constant attention to His sovereign will. They come to great somewhere into this world upon the promise of God that they will be given them results but a short time. They are opened of late a vast memorial. It is declared that they will be given them an abundant two education." JOHNSON He who is God of all expects man to appreciate His favor, and glorify Him for ever. Therefore we ought to turn our thoughts from self and self-interest to thoughts about His purpose, and His wonderful love. Look where we may, there is a design, order, harmony and beauty, all conditions of life when viewed in relationship to the whole life of men and things. It is sublime picture of real art because it is an everchanging varied colored blending and adjustment of activity. Who is qualified to give full meaning of these words spoken by Jesus, the Word of God: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Non, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting or eternal life." Note—Jesus is conscious of the all wise eternal God's motives. He gives to His emotions a peculiar distinction. "God so loved the world." He emphasized the value and quality and supremacy of His gift with this true thought. He gave Him our own sentence Son. He universally and earthly with all knowledge, God's universal and all inclusive purpose, with balanced phrases, that have salvation as the point in both of them. Whoseover all things are saved, He everlasting life, History and experience abounds with evidence of the blessings poured upon men and nations since the birth of the Holy Child Jesus. He was the first to teach the meaning of the mind very God, in mind and body very man. He came in the world with the highest purpose, pure and holy, and He ever received the blessings of the world would decorate the celebration of His birth with reverence and disdain? We trust that all who read this paper may weigh these words, "the eternal God is the dwelling and underworld and the everlasting strife."

There is something unusually attractive about the man, his beautiful devotion to home ties, his gentleness of manner, and his very considerateness of others requires but a moment's reflection to convince that these are all worthy of emulation. A lawyer, a banker, a gentleman, a gentleman, a gentleman, he has contributed much to the uplift of his race—far more than his retiring disposition would suggest. He does not move through life with the noisy retinue of bluster and pompousness, but rather with effective gentlemanly man, he has contributed his boon companions. There are few men of his race his equal—there are none his superior. His life furnishes the conclusive proof that purity and simplicity are no handicaps to success. He is not a man accustomed to mating with the vulgar rabble upon terms of equality is a requisite for political success.

Newsome Does Not Want the Position Any Longer GIVES OUT STATEMENT Soya He Has Made Great Sacrifices and That His Life Has Been Made a Burden Since Accepting Commitment. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. Richmond, Va., Dec. 26—J. T. Newsome, who was made general counsel for the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers that February, has resigned from his position, and in a long statement to The Age tells why he does not desire to be general counsel any longer. According to Mr. Newsome he has been greatly embarrassed and his life has been made miserable since his election to the position, owing to the foolish demands made upon him. "When one, occupying a position of so great a responsibility as the general counselhip of a national organization such as the Grand Fountain of Lakes, it is necessary, right on the edge of a decisive legal battle, to resign his trust, the public should know the reasons for his remarkable action. "I am therefore speaking to the public, and shall extend patience or set down aught in malice. "Without solicitation, I was on last February, elected general counsel for the True Reformers. I had built up in my home city, Newport New York, by third work a splendid practice, a magnificent library, the largest library in the city, bench and bar of lower Tidewater. My home was the shipping place of the most distinguished colored men who came to our city, such as Booker T. Washington, Mahl R. R. Moton, Prof. Browne, J. M. Gandy, Dr. T. Phillips, Browne, J. M. Gandy, Robert H. Terness, and a host of great men of the nation. My sole ambition was to demonstrate the possibility of a Negro lawyer in the heart of the South, above mere mediocrity, to a commanding place in the legal arena. How I learned I shall those who know me and have heard my opinion do say. On accepting the attorneyship I made a great sacrifice in the beginning under very peculiar circumstances. In the first place, a port of the old times of William W. P. Burrell, a man of national reputation as a fraternal insurance expert. From my viewpoint, certain directions of the various corporations of the True Federal Union, particularly, possibly both, for the embarrassments of the organization. To determine whether or not this assumption was correct, it was necessary to examine with great care the charters of the various corporations, the minutes covering nearly thirty years, and the law applicable to the case. Of course man of education, legal training, and experience, required to be successful. Unfortunately, however, our race is not overlaid with such skill. In a large number of our secret and fraternal organizations the stock in trade of the leaders in the power of abuse, and the disposition to enrolle the prominent I. --- Harmed by conflicting interests. Another great difficulty was the conflicting interest of the bank and the society proper. On the one hand, able, influential and resourceful lawyers representing the bank were fishing as the bank's property, while on the other hand, the Grand Fountain, whose very existence depends upon the opposite view looked to me to vindicate its right. From the very beginning, I have been impressed by an immense demand made upon me to come to Richmond. A moment thought would show how foolish such a requirement was. The facts were all before me. The great question was how and when to deal with three times every week since last February, I have traveled to Richmond, at my own expense, mingled freely with the people—enemies and friends—addressed a large number of public meetings, arranged in departments, testified for five days before the Grand Jury, resisted successfully the application for a receiver, written thousands of letters, conferred with scores of lawyers and all the while I have prepared a letter for all times the destiny of the True Reformers. "Meanwhile, the generosity of the press, white and colored, in commending my effort, the applause that greeted me in the public meetings, and the men who were there, the prominent, white and black, began to stir up much jealousy in certain directions, and a conspiracy was started to ruin my reputation. If I were seen on the streets in conversation with a rumor at once went the rounds that I had so outloud. If I owed a man in Richmond one dollar which I sometimes had to borrow because my business had almost gone to the bank, I was sent to a station to the work for the True Reformers. It immediately became the subject of public gossip. If I stopped at a hotel and mingled with the prominent men whom I might meet there, I was able to make a little more circumspact. When a receivership was applied for to take charge of the affairs of the organization, it was published far and wide that the action was instigated by me, the man who was at one time my partner. "And all of this was done in spite of the fact that my whole soul was in the work. I have labored late and early to prepare myself, have not eaten much, and have been sometimes alone last February, have gotten greatly in debt and have been mutilated and ridiculed until I have been almost driven crazy. To add to this burden, I was ordered, right on time, to go to the hospital to give daily service in Richmond, when it is absolutely necessary that I should give every moment to study and preparation for the cases. I have resigned my trust, but I have called upon Judge Bent and Commonwealth Attorney, Miss Bent and Commissioner, to sit in the prosecution of the criminal cases, and I shall go right on with my civil suits. I have made some friends in Richmond when I shall always hold in great memory and I know all of them give me the best advice they can give me. to the sting of their own conscience and sure to receive from Alshaghay God."

Murders are usually very solemn people, and take themselves very seriously, and are always crazy on one or on both sides of them. An Italian up Alainy, N. Y., way killed four people who owned the farm on which he was employed, recently, and left a note on the piano in which he said: "Italians make message of Americans." There is clothing humorous in that message; it is elegantly beautify, like the tragedies it referred to, besides being a stab at the characters of the Italians in the United States. John Alexander Gladstone Dowie, the founder off Zion City, near Chicago, which was a model city, is studying for the country at Western Theological University. The elder Dowie was a great good man, a prophet, who did not understand himself and was misunderstood by most people. Like Leo Tolstoy, the great, eccentric Russian, he was known to deliver, but he did not understand what it was and could not know it. We once visited Zion City, in partnership with Dr. Washington, and knew and were surprised that so good, that a community, could be built up for the cause of wicked Chicago. 11 "Murder is murder!" says Col. Roosevelt in *The Outlook* for December 16, by dismissing the confession of the McCormack, the California dynamiters who killed it is murder, and it is well be considered of the fact by so common and distinguished a soldier as Roscoe. In the Southern States the legal and scriptural fact has been described as a legal and scriptural fiction when the slave master and master share once placed upon equality as citizen by the War Amendments to the National Constitution. The letter of the final that murder is murder may be dead to insure, but the spirit of the letter of the law does not and sleeps not. There are more men than women in the United States, according to the census report, the figures being 47,332,122 men and 44,640,144 women, an excess of the latter of 2,691,978. There are more women than men in the six States following: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, District of Columbia, South Carolina, South Carolina. There is a national preponderance of Negro men over Negro women, the proportion being 599 women to every 100 men. It is heaped that this condition will be increased by the end of the next century, as it is a bad sign for a people when there are more women than among them. There should be no color line in boats, or in anything else, but there is, and in most everything else, including in church. It is cropping out in this country, and in Europe, in places where there was not heretofore to be found. The present seems to be world-embracing Africa, Europe in Africa, Europe, Great Britain, the Islands of the Seas, the United States and Canada and the Australia wherever the white races are held. In 1902-3, we found race prejudice on the part of the whites, rampant against black and yellow people in Europe in Japan, in China and the Philippines, and it appears, to have been with the years. The vicinity by John Arthur Johnson from Bristol, Judahism at Reno, July 4, 1910, shows how cost the black race in the colony of the globe a great deal that it was worth as a race asset. The humiliated man of the African race probably have a great, a responsible, in the mind, a thankless work beheaded but smiling that which the slave had to wage for nearly two and a half years, and the Jew are still in the hands of the enemy among them. Partings are always painful, whether for short or long periods; whether with persons or creatures; whether with things, objects with which we have been associated, which have been useful to us; or with Time, the one possession that cannot be replaced, that comes not back any more when it goes away into Shadow Land. From the cradle to the grave time moves forward, ticking off as a clock the seconds of life, of existence, allotted to living creatures, to tribes and races and nations. The dead years return no more to those who live them out. The dead past buries its dead, its hopes and its disappointments, its joys and its sorrows, and there can be no resurrection of them in the lives of those who live in them and die in them, except in their good, works that follow them, and in their children who perpetuate their names and their good works. The relics, the monuments, of dead people and dead empires cumber the highways that link the present to the remotest beginning. The national life has been replete with movementa within it during the past year, coming over from past years, that have made an abiding impression upon the character of the people and in shaping their history for the future. The hard times, which began in the summer of 1907, have grown harder. Food stuffs and rents are higher, work is scarcer and more uncertain and wages have not been increased. Discontent among the toilers of the land and fear and uncertainty among employing capitalists have been accentuated by the attitude of Government antagonism to the business interests, begun eight years ago as "my policies" by President Roosevelt, and the correlated activities of organized labor, often violent in expression.—all have teuded to create a situation at the end of the year, which dissensions within the Republican party and the growth of Socialism as a political factor to be reckoned with, make far from hopeful of a better condition at the end of 1912. "Coming events cast their shadows before," says the poet, and the shadows are never cheerful, like the sunshine. But man should be master of the shadows as well as of the sunshine; so should the nation. With the Negro people the past year has been fateful. The movement to segregate them in separate districts has increased as a menace and warning that race prejudice is growing and must be fronted bravely and wisely. It will not abide by any half measures, by any temporizing, any compromises. Like the prejudice that confronts the Jews in Europe it is viperous in poison and lion-like in vindictiveness, and must be fought to a standstill. The segregation movement as a manifestation of the growing aggressiveness of race prejudice has not only made itself offensively active in Baltimore, Newport News, Norfolk, Richmond, Atlanta and other Southern points, but here in New York, where the effort to restrict the residential districts of Negroes has kept pace with the effort to restrict them to certain employments and to bar them out of others. In but in every case here, and in the Southern and Western communities concerned, our thoughtful men and women have met the situation bravely and wisely, so that the results of it are in their favor. Nowhere and in nothing can race prejudice be temporized with without loss to those grieved. It cannot tell the truth; it is a natural thief, and it never hesitates to do murder in order to win. Mob violence may not have been more prevalent the past than the previous year, but it has been more uniformly malignant and savage in manifestation, and it has made itself offensively active in Northern and Western communities as well as in Southern ones. Many churches and school houses have been destroyed and two preachers have been murdered "without due process of law." Even women have not escaped the wrath of white mobs. A nation is in the way of the nations that have died for like offenses when womanhood and the priesthood are outraged and murdered without the condemnation that it swift and merciless. Such crimes cannot be committed without the offense being scattered throughout the nation as the crimes of the tribe of Benjamin were scattered throughout Israel. The disaster to Russian arms and national prestige and its troubles at home may be wisely attributed to Russia's persistent oppression of its Jewish subjects; so also the hard times in the United States, the unsettled condition of their business and labor interests and party strife within parties that threaten the national peace and well doing, may be reasonably ascribed to systematic mob outrages and legal discriminations of all sorts against the Negro people. As the nation sows the nation repa. It is written on the wall, and cannot be rubbed out, as the found. Such crimes are lynching of Zack Walker at Greenville, Pa., and the legal lynching of T. B. Walker at Washington, Ore., national in guilt, because it is the paramount-duty of the nation to protect itself from such crimes by adequate legislation and the enforcement of it by legal process, however high or low the offenders may be. In all that makes for strong, healthy manhood and womanhood the Negroes, reliable statistics show, have made notable advance during the past year, Dr. Washington showed in his comprehensive address at the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, at Little Rock, Ark., last August, that our business interests are steadily increasing in number and strength. The annual conferences of all church denominations showed a healthy growth in the home and foreign work, with larger membership and more revenues with which to do the good work of their Lord. The universities, college, institutes and seminaries and the public schools everywhere show increased enrollment of pupils eager to overcome the darkness of Ignorance with the light of Wisdom, the accumulated knowledge of the ages. Our vast school population, our vast church membership, our growing business interests, and the steady growth of home life and the building of homes to nurture that growth, are all unfailing signs that the race has caught the spirit and the stride that has made the United States great and prosperous at home and respected abroad. We extend to the readers and the workers, of THE NEW YORK AGE a Happy' New Year. It is a far cry from the slavery and agony of 1865 to the freedom and opportunity of 1911. They are ours to make the most of in the coming as they were in the past year. No man, no state, has legal right to deny us our freedom or to abridge our opportunity. So, we repeat: "Ring out the Old! Ring in the New! Ring out the False! Ring in the True." NOW THEY HANG PREACHERS IN GEORGIA! The people of Washington, Ga., must have been talking about the brutal hanging of T. B. Walker when the people of Jackson, Ga., were called upon to witness the hanging of Rev. William Tuner, "a Negro preacher," in Kink's Opera House, on December 14, for, it is alleged, "having incited a race riot, in which Jessie Singley, a planter, was shot to death." Alleged, mark you. Southern Negroes do not "incite race riots;" white men incite them. THE Ace knows that to be the case in nine of every ten cases; but in order to convince the world that it is so the Negro people need a newspaper with enough money behind it to employ detectives to go to every community in which such crimes happen, and remain there until all the facts in the case are gotten together, so that they could be given to the world as colorless news and the real criminals and their communities held up to the scorn and contempt of their fellow men. Why have the Negroes, 10,000,000 of them, no such newspaper? Has not The Ace been with them twenty-five years, ready and anxious to do just that work, but without the support, the money, to enable it to do it? Even so. And for the seven years before The Ace, did they not have the Freeman, the Globe and Rumor, making a combined continuous newspaper service of thirty-two years? Even so. The fault is in the Negro himself and not in his newspaper service. If he do not defend himself, to tax himself for the money necessary to pay others to do it for him, he will not be defended, he will not be protected! It is the supreme test in the law of the survival of the fittest. The news despatch says: The news despatched says: 'The sheriff had planned to hang the prince, but he feared the crowd would break in. The weather was also very disagreeable, so he decided to hang the Negro in Kinka's Opera House, so that the relatives of the murdered man, who wished to see the hanging, would not have to stand in front. The gallows was erected on the stage and at noon Tuner was marched to the opera house. Before the trap was sprung he confessed that he started the riot and that he also fired the shot which killed Singley. He warned the members of his race to let whisky go in. In the boxes and front soots of the opera house were many relatives and friends of the murdered man. We do not believe the man made any such confession. We believe the to be a deliberate lie out of whole cloth. Censorship of the moving picture shows to protect the morals of the young people, which is right and proper, is crystallizing into a sentiment all over the country. The greed that would corrupt the minds of the young for gain should be restrained with a strong hand. The policy of excluding Negroes from Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands was inaugurated in the administration of President McKinley, and has remained unchanged to the present time. The same policy was adopted in the administration of President Roosevelt, when it was decided to build the Panama Canal; the rough, manual labor, even, of digging, being refused to 'American Negroes. West Indian Negroes being preferred, the absurd theory being inspired that employment of such Negroes would be offensive to Southern Congressmen, as it would cripple the Southern supply of black labor. But the exclusion included also employment in the classified civil service and Presidential appointments. The deadlock was not broken when President Taft appointed C. H. Cotterill of Ohio, within the present year, to be Collector of Internal Revenue for Hawaii. In view of all the facts, which have been in the past, from time to time, referred to and commented upon in THE Acz, the present condition of affairs in the Panama Canal Zone, from an American Negro's viewpoint, is of interest. Mr. George Anderson, writing to the Editor of THE Acz from Panama, November 27, 1911, says: "Why is it why you do not make a fight on barring Negroes from the Panama Canal Zone? The American Negro is paying his share of the cost of the canal, but has no representation down here whatever. I do not know, of but one who has a decent job down here, and he is the postmaster at Baldabra, and the white policemen are ex-soldiers, and the Negro ex-soldier is given nothing. "A white friend told me that no American Negroes were to be employed in Washington office of the Canal Commission." "The cheap West Indian Negro is down here, and soon he must get out, and it looks bad for the American unless somebody puts up a fight for him." It is a humiliation to the American Negro to face it, and to have foreign people have the impression that three Republican administrations have adopted and enforced the rule that Afro-Americans are not wanted in any of the island and possessions of their government, but they have had to face it, and they face it now. The fact cannot be denied by the President of the Secretary of War, while neither may care to admit it. It is on a par with the brutal order which barred Negroes from the list of supervisors of the last census and compelled Negro enumerators to confine their work to Negro districts, and their Negro residents; and that other brutal rule that Negroes were not to be appointed to Federal positions in the Southern States when such would be offensive to their white neighbors, Democrats white, every mother's son of them, and by which rule the Southern Federal office slate has been wiped clean of Presidential, Negro appointees and general discrimination has been made in the appointment of Negroes in the classified civil service. The Ace protests against the rule, as it applies in the insular territories and in the Southern States, and demands a "square deal." A RACE WITHOUT A HISTORY. A race without a history is not unlike "the Man Without a Country," whose desolate life Dr. Edward Everett Hale has so graphically pictured in his book of that title. So, a race with no written history—no background, no great characters, no great achievements in war and peace, for hope and inspiration of itself and of its children—is poor, indeed. Even savage races, before and since "we have the letters Cadmus gave," one of the most priceless possessions mankind possesses, have invented all sorts of devices to perpetuate the memory of their own existence, and what they said and what they did. From this same sentiment has grown that high and noble characteristic of mankind only among living creatures of reverential care and treatment of the old and infirm of the family, of the tribe, of the nation, and which has given us the soulful maxim, "old men, for counsel; young men for war." Standing in the dark shadows after Joab, the Captain of the Host, had fouly murdered Abner, Kion David said: "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" It is natural for great men to appreciate great men. So we as a race sorrowed over the death of Daniel Alexander Payne and of Frederick Douglass; so we as a nation sorrowed over the death of Lincoln, of Sumner and of Grant. In speaking of the great success of the fifth annual Georgia State Fair, at Macon, last November, in a personal letter to our life, Pasture, President R. R. Wright said, among other things, of the expansion of photographs of Georgia's fairgrounds as a feature of the event. Your time is open the day when the Negro race has been an old and great many people. It was the first time in the history of Negro rare that three denominations of currency, signed by the four Negro Registrars—Bruce, Lyons, Vernon and Napier—have been exhibited. I feel that this is a problem in the direction of calling the attention of the people of all over the world to the prominent men of the race. It is a step in the right direction; there should be more steps taken like it: For instance, we have no history of the Reconstruction period from the Negro viewpoint, other than that given by George W. Williams in his "History of the Negro-Race in America." Senator B. K. Bruce loomed large in that period, which the story of his life would cover. His distinguished son, Prof. R. C. Bruce, may tell it for us some day. the State refers a negative, may yet close as a growing, lawlessness of Tmob, and other mob works, the failure of the States to the person and property of the United States. MY BROTHER'S KEEP (Written for The New York) Who has said am de keep! Of my brudder on die earth? If he sows, am I, I do, reaper? Should his great heart a short? Must I take my only candle. In de middle of the night? And get out my ear! His affairs and set him right Must I go and go and set his? Must I go and get and set him? Must I go and get and get to Drink my tea? Can my pocket? Must I go down in my pocket? Hand to him my only dance? What is the way I go and do it? If you'll only give him time Must I take my hard earned After I have worked all do TREATY RIGHTS AND CITIZEN RIGHTS. Russia may have her way in ordering the Persians this way and that, and has it, with the consent of Great Britain, so W. Morgan Shuster, the American Treasurer-General at Teheran, may have to return to Washington and resume his law practice; but Russia cannot have her way with the United States, unless her way is the right way. Congress has made that fact plain by unanimously concurring in the President's notice of the termination of the treaty of 1832. This country will no longer tolerate Russia's treatment of American Jews who want to visit that country on business or to see their relatives. Let the good work go on. We constrain foreign governments to respect the persons and property of American citizens,岩journing in or visiting them, and we may some day have a law compelling the States of the United States to respect the persons and property of citizens of the United States sojourning in or visiting the States, or any one of the States, of the United States. We certainly need such a law now. A citizen's first is a citizen of the United States, and not until then is he or can he be a citizen of the State in which he resides; and this applies whether he be born in the State or go into it from another State, or be naturalized in it as an alien, a foreigner. A man born of American parents in a foreign country, although he may have never put foot on American soil, is a citizen of the United States and is entitled to protection of his person and property by treaty laws in such country, and gets it. A citizen of no State in the Republic has any standing anywhere except as a citizen of the United States. This principle was settled by the Civil War, as far as the States are concerned; and it was settled by the war amendments, which minutely define citizenship, as far as the individual residing in or visiting a State is concerned. But a law is needed, and needed badly and at once, to protect citizens of the United States from the lawlessness of mobs, or individuals residing in a State, when such State refuses or neglects to do so. The Coatesville (Pa.) lynching is a case in point. Most of the men tried for lynching and burning Zack Walker and acquitted by a Chester County Jury, would have been hanged or imprisoned by a United States Court and jury, with the trial held outside Chester County, and of Pennsylvania, if necessary; and the failure of the State and county to punish the criminals shows that a Federal law to cover such cases should be enacted. The case of T. B. Walker, at Washington, Ga., to which editorial reference was made in THE AGE of No. November 16 and December 14, is another and more aggravated case of like character. At the Philadelphia meeting of the National Afro-American League, an Masonic Temple, in 1895, we think, Mr. Ferdinand L. Barnett, of Chicago, introduced a resolution demanding that the United States Government give to the Negroes of the Southern States the same protection it gives to its citizens residing in or visiting foreign countries under treaty laws, the highest and most obligatory body of laws a nation has, and the violation of which leads most certainly to destructive wars. Mr. Barnett is a good lawyer, and has long been one of the State's attorneys for Cook County, but like a great many Negroes he knows more about what he wants than he does about how to get it, or how to go about getting it. Most of the Negro's cases in law and equity argued before the Federal Supreme Court since 1876 have miscarried on this account. The Philadelphia Daily Record led the daily papers of Philadelphia in ridiculing the Barnett resolution and the League for demanding what it was impossible to get, in the absence of such a law as we indicate. The Negro has never received any right in this country, by Constitutional amendment or remedial legislation, except when a menace to the white man's right made it possible. Remedial legislation to protect the purge and property of citizens of the United States when a State, or nation, will be do so, and to punish the crime of the nation which the State refuses an allegation to publish, may yet claim as a result of the growing lawlessness of Trade Union mobs, and other mob wrathers, and the failure of the States to safeguard the person and property of citizens of the United States.[67] MY BROTHER'S KEEPER.

Fillmore rides down gay Broadway in front of his regiment for the first time there will be a great outpouring of the people—those who remember and those who have forgotten the marchings of the "Skidmore Guards." We salute in advance the officers and privates of the First Battalion, whose brave names were published in the last issue of THE AGE. All things come to those 'who wait—if they wait long enough. The International Hotel Workers Union, a white organization, are protesting against the tipping system and demanding what is equivalent to a salary of $30 per week. It has become fashionable for New York hotels to advertise the fact that they employ none but "white waiters," and the fashion, it is probable, will spread to other large cities. The Negro hotel men of New York should hold a convention and seek a remedy for the desperate condition that confronts them. A Gypsie Queen is dead. She was a child of sorrow and her life was full of grief. Her name was Linka Michele, daughter of Jessie Key Habersham and Georgeas Michele her husband, king of a Romany band, with whom she lived a roaming life until she died in a Cincinnati hospital last year. The death of his wife affected the Romany very much, and he thought it wisest to give little Linka into the care of her mother's Baltimore relatives. Jessie Key Habersham was a Baltimore society girl, and eloped with the Gipsey King in 1906. She was a descendant of Francis Scott Key, the poet. She did not regret the society life she deserted, and in one of her last letters to her family said: "I have read the lives of many people and have tried hard to tell them of the future, yet I know that in she future we have but one real thing to count upon—the infinite blessings of the great Jehovah." A great many people do not have anything to eat to-day because they ate it all up yesterday. We once owned a beautiful chrome-colored dog that had more sense than his master. That dog was never hungry. The rise in the price of meats never worried him. How did he manage it? Simply enough. He never squandered or threw one away. When he was fed he would eat his fill and then gather up the fragments, dig a small hole in the yard some place and bury them. He knew every place in the yard where his food was buried. When he was hungry and there was nothing doing at the kitchen, he would dig up some of his food and eat it. He would never disturb his reserved food as long as his portion went to him from the kitchen when he wanted it. Prof. Franklin H. Gidding, of Columbia University, said in a recent address, that "one of the possibilities of human betterment is that all the people in the world should have enough to eat." Very true; but it will never be until people learn to save the fragments. OPINIONS OF THE NEGRO PRESS Home Without a Newspaper. Home without a newspaper. A home without a newspaper is like a night without stars on a physical sun. Afro-American parents that are not wise enough to select suitable books for their children.—Cadix (Ky). Informer. Expert Testimony. Boys, there is nothing to being a good fellow. Hop, crape, women and booze are the badges of misery, suffering and an early grave. Take warning and profit by the mistakes of others—Topaka Plaindealer. The Fiddler Must Be Paid. We are believers in retributive justice. Lynchning and huwking continue in the South and all pay the country, but the day will come when "the Suffer will have to be paid" and terrible, and cruel, will be paid. 3,000,000 Foreigners in the South. There are about $5,000,000 foreigners now in the South, and $6,000 came here last year; a large majority of these foreigners are ignorant, and only a few are maneuvering in their deserts. If they are not Christianized they will heathenize the South. Let the foreigners come into the South in large numbers and the white people of this Southland will have many of them in the hands of the handa. If the foreigner comes in large numbers in-the South the Negro will leave. This the Southland people do not want in a sense, for they cannot use the foreigner in their business as a laborer. They really prefer the Negro to the foreigner as a laborer.—Memphis Bluff City News. True Leadership Cannot Be Imprisoned No man can be a good leader who is not a good follower. No man who is self-centered, narrow and jealous can ever make a successful leader. He can ever make a successful leader, and it is quite amazing that such a few who aspire to leadership are not cognizant of that fact. "Leaders are born not made." The people choose their leaders and they will lead without his labeling himself as such. True leadership is recognized without much stir on the part of him possessed with that great quality and will burst forth despite all of the atterture. True leadership cannot be imprisoned—Charleston (W, Va.). Mountain Leader. The Critics of Church Methods When some young and thoughtful man comes forward with honest criticism with respect to the business methods in use in many of our churches, instead of crying him-down, and discouraging all effort in throwing the light upon present methods, those responsible for present methods are encouraged in welcoming the criticism, and in turning on all the light possible, that the sanity and efficiency of their methods may be made thoroughly-manifest. When it is contended that the quality of moral and spiritual leadership in those who dominate affairs in our churches and societies, it is when we be no longer should be more interested in full and thorough investigation of affairs, than the men serving in such capacities of leadership.—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. Statistics Show Negro Decrease. The Negroes have increased 11 per cent, during the last decade while the white people have increased about 15 per cent. The comparison may be disadvantageous to the Negro when viewed as a comparison to the white people, since their dim advantage disappe when the large number of white immigrants and their natural increase for the decade is considered. Making all suitable deductions it will not be found that the native whites exclusively have numbers disproportionately with the Negro. So far the showing is good. But when it comes to the summing up of totals for the Negro is found to be a decreasing ratio and increasing the number will assuredly rob many of our orators of their thunder and may eventually solve all the Negro's problems by the engulfing power of overwhelming white power thus if he would keep his numerical base in American life—Durham Reformer. Waiters Demand Higher Wages. It is interesting to note that the white waiters are busy themselves with a petition to the American Federation of Labor asking for recognition as a labor organization. The waiter at Hotel Schenley is worth consideration. He says that the waiters want a wage of $10 per week and a ten per cent commission on all his sales. This, he adds, would relieve the patron of his moral obligation to tip; and at the waiter to serve as many patrons as possible and serve them as well as possible. We suggest that Negro waiters get awake to this idea, and find some way to organize and join the American Federation of Workers as members and afford them an impartial protection. Gifted as they are with the innate sense of what constitutes service, the Negro waiter should easily hold his own in the field of competition. It requires but little effort to win the hands of the Federation; so let the colored man take the tide while it serves.—Pittsburgh Courier. Mississippi Odd Fellows Pay Promptly. (From the Vickaburg Evening Post.) (Add: Mr. McKissack, with Prof. E. H. McKissack as the custodian of its large fund, has always maintained a reputation for promptness of payment as well as integrity of management. In this period Mr. McKissack has handled the various orders, it is refreshing to know that to-day in this city, Dick Robinson, presiding officer of Hill City Lodge, paid over to Amanda Wilson the amount of money and thousand dollars in full payment of the policy in the order of Washington Wilson, who died on the 18th day of September. The payment was made inside the office, and is only an ordinary payment of the order. Prof. McKissack keeps an advertisement in the official journal of the order that he is ready to pay on the date of the approval of the death proof and this challenge has never failed to be met. Rev. B. P. Jones of this city is the Grace Colored Fellow of Dell-Fellowes of Minsterphil. A Great Episcopal School In many respects St. Paul's is the third largest school in the country for the education of colored youth, and the largest in the Episcopal Church. Its college will exceed 50. It has a population with a gross value of over $200,000. There are seventeen families connected with the school, giving their entire life to the work. There are four other married person awaiting accommodations. In Virginia may the influence of the school reach the county and may be felt in the lives of its graduates in nearly all State in the Union and in some foreign countries. In this county alone the school is active leagues, conducts an annual fair, conferences with teachers' institutes, the past year we have been forced to turn away a large number of students for lack of accommodations and means of support. The majority of these applicants from the rural districts are enrolled in the nearest opportunity to work for the school. --- FREE CORNER LOT IN ALLENWORTH VALUE $300.00 The UNITED BOARD OF BISHOPS, comprising the A.

WALTON DECORUM IN QUR THEATRES SOME months ago there was much ado in French theatrical circles over the play "Apres Moi," written by Henri Bernstein and produced for a short time only at the Theatre Francais in Paris. At the time of the furore over "Apres Moi," it was claimed by many daily papers on this side of the Atlantic that the rejection of Bernstein's piece was occasioned by the spirit of anti-Semitism, the French playgoers refusing to enthuse over the play because its author was a Jew. One of the papers, to severely condemn the French theatregoer and enthusiastically refer to the American playgoer as one who is a model of propriety and the embodiment of decorum was the New York Times, which made the question that in the United States the playgoer does not hiss plays. Of course the article was written before the recent visit of the Irish Players at the Maxine Elliott Theatre, when it was necessary for the management, to call for a small army of bluecoats to quell a riot, started by irate playgoers. We print herewith the editorial published by the Times when Bernstein was having a strenuous time in Paris over his play "Apres Moi." In its criticism of the French playgoer and the bouquets of compliments it throws at those who attend theatres in this country, one is reminded of the saying about if we could see ourselves as others see us. Following is the editorial in ques The sudden withdrawal of a new play from the stage of any theory in this country would be taken as an acknowledgment of culture. No managerial explanation to the contrary would avail. But they do these things differently in France. We have rowed here, but no came lots durol, and if any representatives of the lawless tried to disturb is performance of a play they would be suppressed, partly by efficient playwrights by the opposition of playwrights in general or male conduct in theaters. We do not even hiss playwrights. If we do not like them we avoid them, and advise our audiences to do the same. Presently a friend, thus advised, goes to see the play and declares that he likes it. Such is human nature on this side of the Atlantic. Yet they say that human nature is the same all over the world. in London today this possession of the theatres, Many perfect bareless plays are brought. But London theatres have many riot-like those in the en- situated House of Mollere during the performance of "Apres Moli" by Henri Bertsen. Fish-horns, bells and motor-car horns are barred in London theatres, except at the stage where they are used sparately. In Paris the disturbance is due to the settled convict- ance of some persons who were been to make mischief that Bernstein should never have been ad- dicated to the share of the Theatre Francois. Nevertheless, he will be established there before long. The granted objection to Bernstein is that he has a bad past, that he dies deserted from the army. This deserves nobody. The spirit govern- ing this outbreak is the spirit of anti-Semitism. To carry that spirit into the theatre in any country seems preposterous. The Jews have been as autonomous in French drama as they have been in the drama of all countries. Need we mention Rachel, Stephart, Offenbach, Haley? Naturally, for to make a list of distinguished French actors, dramatist composers who have triumphed on the French stage would be great and require a great deal of space. Anti-Semitism is the only explanation of the question of "Apres Mol," and it is, of course, no explanation at all, flesh upidings in France can only be explained by the volatile spirit, the uncertain temper, and the grimised unreasonableness of a complexous but not really representative kind of Frenchmen. "Theridorist" was howled down at the Comedie in the same way for almost political reasons, yet "Theridorist" contained as little political meaning as Orpheline, it was hard to almost all but hilarious, and was saved at the Porte. Martin simply by the amazing skill of Coquelin in making bricks without draw. If "Apres Moi" had been rejected for ethical or even artistic reasons, we should have taken the incident as indicative of regenation. Judging by the reviews it is a harsh, torturous play, treating cynically of social relations, and compounded of malice, ingratitude, dishonesty,顺义, tinctured, for the sake of comic relief, with an exhibition of buoyant deprivacy. But ethically and artistically, "Apres Moi" has proved satisfying, which is why we feel sure it will be restored below long to the repertory of the Theatre Francais. New Yorkers will not have much difficulty recalling the disgraceful scenes enacted at the Maxine Elliott Theatre a few weeks ago during the engagement of the Irish Players, a talented theatrical organization from the Emerald City. Many citizens of Irish parentage will not take kindly to the play—"The tragedy of the Western World," charge that some scenes in the piece selected on the Irish race. They showed their displeasure by throwing on the dress signs and vegetables of a ripe old girl temporarily changing the little theatre from a thing of beauty to a receptive by garbage. Another incident that does not carry the glories of the Times that the United States are so proud of they do not even bliss to be readily referred to the Yale students several times when they became displeased with performance and broke up the harmony and functions of the university was On TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2nd, 1912, at 9 A.M., Tickets for THE FROGS First Stage Performance and Midwinter Ball will be placed on sale at No. 2283 7th Ave., bet. 134th and 135th Sts. Reserved Seats can be held at no other place prior to Monday evening, January 29th, 1912, at New Star Casino, 107th Street, Lexington & Park Ave. Received Date: 08. 7th, 2023 Doses, seating from 5 to 8:00:00 to 20:00:00 Leggs: "8" (NOT RELATED FOR ADMISSION) Of course it is absolutely necessary that the so-called Negro problem seep into this article. Its appearance is inevitable. But as the New York Times believes in Negro segregation, being engaged at this time in a useless attempt to conline the colored citizens in Harlem to one section, it is very likely that it believes in the same policy being followed in the white theatres. The Age would like to know of the white papers which entertain similar opinions of the Negro as does the Times if the riot at the Maixne Elliott Theatre and the conduct of the Yale students at New Hayen should not command more admiration and respect for the colored playgoer, as well as argue that the colored citizen is worthy of being considered a desirable patron. For we, despite our presumed deficiencies, have never been so lawless and so distant from the touch of civilization, as to start riots and break up furniture in any playhouse in the country, whether conducted by white or colored, and surely we could do no worse than our more cultured brother, having in mind, of course, the two incidents referred to.

The Six Gum Drops form a hard-working bunch which works hard to please. They could get a little more harmony in their singing, however.

CARR of Philadelphia, who writes of day W. CARL BOLIVAR of Philadelphia, who writes interestingly of colored actors of days gone by Christmas eve and rendered in very good voice a series of hymns appropriate to the season. The choristers went from place to place in white and colored neighborhoods singing softly and sweetly, "Silent Night, Holy Night," and a number of other songs by which the Nativity is featured. All of the solo parts were presented and the chorus appeared under the direction of a leader. Many were awakened from their slumbers to hear the gentle music at their doors. The university is receiving congratulations upon the successful innovation. It is said that the sea was suggested by Prof. George W. Cochran and business ager of the university, and that it at once met with universal approval. Those in charge of the singers have received letters of thanks and congratulation from many of the chief officials of the municipal government for the pleasure they were afforded by the unexpected musical feast. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT MANHATTAN CASINO was crowded Christmas evening with basketball enthusiasts who witnessed two well-played contests, the principal event of the evening being the second game between the Alpha first team and the Howard quintet of Washington, D.C. The team from the Capital City has always been a hard nut for the local teams to crack, having lost but once in New York City, and Christmas evening it showed consistent form by defeating the Alphas, 41 to 21. Howard's great teamwork worried the Alpha players greatly, and the Washingtonians also were much heavier than their Manhattan opponents. Alpha put up a far more aggressive game in the last half than in the first, but it was apparent that Howard had the game on ice throughout the match. The Alpha second, team and St. Christopher's quintet did not-clash in the preliminary game owing to a misunderstanding over Matthews, who was a member of the Alphas until a short time ago. It is claimed by the Alphas that Matthews jumped their team and went over to St. Christopher without tendering his resignation; and that according to the rules, a member must be off a team a specified length of time before joining another, which agreement, it is claimed was violated by Matthews going over to St. Christopher. It has been maintained by St. Christopher that no agreement was broken, and the two clubs decided not to meet until the matter had been settled. In the place of St. Christopher the Laetitia Club of Bremen was substituted in the first grade which suppressed it, a vision for the future of the city. GEORGIA CAMP MEETING CO Everything is lovely and the goose hangs high. Business is good. Jimmy Wilson and Lola Anderson, singing, dancing and roller skating artists, joined the company last week and are making a big hit. Louise Le Vine, known as the "dancing doll," still leaves them talking. Happy Bill Briggs, comedian in the company, is getting four and five encores nightly. Minutel Mitchell, manager of the company, is scoring in his old-fashioned darky stump speech. McCABE'S TROUBADOURS The McCabe Georgia Trombadourne are in Missouri again and business continues good. All the members of the company are well and doing nicely. Gordon C. Collins is a scream every night. Dew Wayman Niles, who is one of the best contortionists in the business and known as the human cork-screw, makes a hit nightly and is forced to take two and three bows every night. Midgret Lorian Booker, with her soprano voice, delights the big audience in classic songs. Wm. McCabe and Edna McCabe continue to make good everywhere with their refined sketches and up-to-date songs. Otta Allen, our clever song and dance artist, is there with the goods. Emma Phoenix, our dainty soubrette, is doing fine work in her singing and dancing. Donaldson, our charming contrainte, is there with the goods. Actively, Leon Donaldson, our musical director, is handling the music for the company in first-class order. Beatrice Saunders, in her novel musical act, is causing talk. Max C. Elliott, our advance representative, continues to do good work ahead of the show. 8TAGEOLOGY AT CAPITAL CITY. J. Rosamond Johnson, together with the Samba Girls, which include Edgar Connor and Blanche Deas, are drawing crowds to the Howard this week and making business good for Manager Thomas Christmas week, much to his delight. The bill at the Howard last week violated none of the traditions of the week before Christmas. It was quite replete with such a variety of entertainment and performers as to make it very pleasant to attend a performance on the bill were Abbie Mitchell, the queen of song; Pinkey and Walker, who appeared in a clever Chinese act; Josephine Gaines Tobias, a high-class character singer, and the Mohongany Quartet. Miss Mitchell sang "Love is King" "You'll Want Me Back" and "That Hypnotizing Man" with telling exect. The Ginger Girls played at the Fairyland last week. They have been held over for Christmas week. There will be a matinee every day during Christmas week at the Minnehahaha Theatre. Manager Tyler has selected a large number of feature pictures for the week. Merryweather and Brown closed their sixth week in the Capital City last week at the Foraker Theatre. Managers Panye and Green say they find them a clever team and a big drawing card. The Blue Mouse is a beautifully appointed theatre and is second in point of size in the city. It has been heralded about the country that Manager Thomas of the Howard Theatre was compelled to pay the manager of Mrs. Alda Overton Walker's company $1,000 before he would send the act to play at the Howard Thanksgiving week. Mr. Thomas says he did not pay the sum of $1,000 for her services during that week. W. P.

John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world, is back in his native land once more, returning last week from Europe, where he appeared with great success in the leading variety houses. The champion is in excellent health and one of the first things he did upon reaching Ne York was to deny the rumor that he had retired from the ring. Johnson says he has no idea of retiring and is willing to meet all comers, his only stipulation being that he dictate terms as to what end of the purse he is to receive. The champion is in Chicago, where he is spending the holidays with his mother. McVea Gets Decision Over Langford. Press distpatches from Sydney, Australia, state that Sam MrVea, for a number of years the idol of Paris, and who is winning all his fights in Australia, gained a point victory over Sam Langford in a twenty-round battle at Rushcutter Bay Christmas Day. Langford claims that he was not treated fairly by the referee. Langford was handicapped in height and weight, and although he fought hard to beat his dusky rival, McVea held him safe at all times. McVea put up a very aggressive battle. He landed the greater number of blows, but few of them had any telling effect on Langford, who kept boring in and trying to score a decisive punch. McVea showed remarkable cleverness in avoiding punishment. His defense was almost perfect and plainly and Langford puzzled. The fight attracted wide attention here, it having been billed as a world’s championship affair in view of Johnson’s avowed retirement. The largest crowd to attend a fight since the Burna-Johnson battle here witnessed the contest. It was the second battle of the year between the man, they—saving met in a twenty-round fight in Paris last April which was declared a draw, although many ringside critics declared Langford was entitled to the decision.

I regret to note the attitude of certain officers of subordinate lodges who are inconspectly featuring their candidacy for re-election to office without the heart concern or consideration as to the inalienable right of every member to cast his ballot without coercion or intimidation. No officer or member should go about canvassing votes per act on for the reason that it is unnecessary and in violation of our law; every faithful workman is known by his achievements and duly rewarded by the brethren either by being returned to the office which he formerly paid or elevated to a higher station. This peace and harmony of every lodge depends large upon the close practice and strong advocacy of their principles to the end that much good will be accomplished. I heartily congratulate the "Free Mason" upon the acquisition and introduction of a member of the feminine gender on its editorial staff. Since the suffragette movement has not as put made its appearance in our councils, we are sure to get interesting facts and data regarding the doings of our various auxiliaries from the pan of Sister De Tocano.

C., Dec. 27—The Mindful of a change in the office of Assistant Register of the Treasury has been rumored about at the Capital for several months. The rumor was put into circulation by a number of candidates for the position who appeared in Washington from time to time to push their respective claims. The idea has been dispelled from the minds of those prospective office-holders, however, by the reappearance of Cyrus Field Adams at his home hale and hearty after a serious illness in his western home. It has been semi-officially announced, the occasion for the same being the present brought to bear by various office officers, that Mr. Adams has proven children in his present position and that there is no likelihood of a chance being made at this time. Switzerland, Md., December 27.—A petition for receivers for the Grand Foundation of True Reformers has been enclosed in the Circuit Court by a number of beneficiaries on death-benefit pension.

COLUMBUS, O., December 26—That the teaching of charity for the unfortunate in the public schools is bearing fruit was borne out the other day when the shoe fund collection was being taken up at an East side school building, Nickels and dimes were plentiful and there were a few quarters in the collection, but the teacher hesitated when a small colored boy handed in a big silver dollar. She knew the boy and his family could ill afford such a large donation and decided to call up the parents about it before turning the money in. The mother informed her that the boy earned the money and he was privileged to do with it as he saw fit. He insisted that it should all go toward buying shoes for poor and needy little children. AT.
