Former High Official of West Indies Tells of Negroes Who Get Every Consideration. CONDITIONS IN WEST INDIES Negroes Occupy Positions of Prominence and Trust - is Given Much Social Recognition. Taking issue with an article recently appearing in the New York Herald, in which Miss Mary W. Ovington is quoted as having said that she once heard a young Negro university graduate declare that "a Negro is a man only in Europe," and expressing the belief that the friendly O'CONNOR de CORDOVA attitude of some whites in this country toward the Negro is based on a foolish and narrow prejudice, Attorney O'Connor de Cordova, 362 River-side Drive, gave out the following statement to The Age: "In an article published in the magazine section of the Sunday Herald of December 10, under the heading "Negroes' Opportunities in New York," Miss Mary White Owington, quoting a young Negro university graduate said, 'A Negro is a man only in Europe,' I wish to join issue on this statement. "Until the spring of 1907 I lived in the Island of Jamaica, a British colony of the West Indies. I am a white man, a lawyer by profession and for over eleven years, that is from 1895 to April, 1907. I occupied an important office in the service of the government. My official appointment brought me in intimate association with all classes of the community and I wish to advise all those who think that a Negro is a man only in Europe to go to the West Indies and see for themselves how very much of a man the Negro is there. Prominent in All Walks of Life Let it be understood that I use the expression 'Negro' as it is accepted in this country—that is, I include in the term men of color, not black men only. In all walks of life in the West Indies we find Negroes occupying positions of honor, importance, prominence and trust. We find them prominent among the legal profession. Some have been recognized the extent that they have acquired, and the still excellent judicial offices. Others being practitioners at the bar have been created king's counsel, an enviable position among members of the bar, and the present incumbent of the office of assistant attorney-general is himself a man of color. His position in the medical profession is quite as creditable. There are many colored doctors in the island who number among their patients some of the most refined white women of the community, and what more intimate and delicate relations are possible exist than those of doctors and patients? Archdeacons Rectors in the Church. The church has among its officials as archdeacons and rectors men of color who are revered and respected in classes of the community. In professions and in all walks of life and colored men coming to the church and being accorded the recognition which as men they are entitled. Among the large number are colored men while in some districts the Customs Rotermann, who is the head of the ministry, is a colored man. "The commercial community has its itns. ranks colored men whose integrity and merit have been recognized by all with whom they have traded. In the Legislature and town councils are to be found colored men taking active role in the community island and even in the privy council the colo- red man has found his place. "Of the members of the other branch of the legal profession—for we say the two branches of the profession, exist there in England—so have within the last twenty years occupied the office of Crown Solicitor, a legal office next in importance only to that of the attorney-general, while one of these gentlemen, on more than one occasion acted as attorney-general during the absence from the colony of that officer. "It is a fact that in the general run of the profession there are many men of color who enjoy extensive and very lucrative practice, advising the white inhabitants of the colony on difficult and delicate questions. So much for the place of the Negro in the legal profession. Finally, the colored man and woman occupy as creditable a status as in the English of life. They entertain the English and are themselves in turn entertained on terms of social equality. Having stated all these facts and being prepared to substantiate them by giving scores; aye, hundreds of names in proof of all that has been stated, I wish to ask. Is it a fact that 'A Negro is a man only in Europe'? The answer comes quick and direct in the negative. And what is the result of all this recognition of the colored man? He has been placed in the position to which he is by nature dressed and in such circumstances he is as creditable a citizen as his white brother of the corresponding walk of life." "PRIVILEGES OF THE NEGRO" Subject Discussed by Judge Phlegar Before Negro Business League of Bristol. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. BRISTOL, TENN., Jan. 9—Judge A. A. Phlegar made an address to the Negroes of Bristol at the twelfth anniversary of the Negro Business League, hel dat the Lee Street Baptist Church last week. The main floor and gallery were crowded. In the audience were perhaps forty white people, including some of the most prominent people in the city who are interested in the progress of the Negro. Robert E. Clay, president of the League, held at the Lee Street Baptist, of the Bristol Normal Institute, made the opening prayer, while Charles Brown followed with a practical talk, in which he told of the aims of the Negro Business League. He closed with a tribute to its president, Robert E. Clay, whom he stated was a few years ago a barefoot boy on the streets of Bristol. Judge Phlegar's subject was "The Privileges of the Negro," and his address was one of the best ever delivered to a Negro audience in Bristol. It was practical and abounded with wholesome advice. He enumerated chief among the Negro's privileges that of citizenship, the right to acquire and hold property; educational advantages and the right to work; and lastly the right to be a good and useful citizen, helping himself and his fellowman. Judge Phlegar stated that he had always been a warm friend of the Negro race and had felt a deep interest in its welfare. He said that the vicious of both races were the idle, the prosperous and the contented were those who worked. Judge Phlegar next discussed the educational advantages of the Negro. He told of what is being spent for public schools, manual training schools and normal schools. He dwelt upon the importance of the young being taught useful arts and trades in order that their work would be carried out and enable them to live better and better provide for their families. He said that in this respect Booker T. Washington had set a splendid example for the race and that it would be well for Negroes to take his counsel. The last privilege which Judge Phlegar enumerated was that of being a Christian citizen. BRIGHT PROSPECT FOR ELKS. Special to The New York Ack. MEMPHIS, TENN. Jan. 9—Harry H. Pace, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Independent Order of Elks of the World, has given out the following statement: "The order has taken on an impetus for growth that means much to us. We have received fifteen or twenty lodges which, had been previously defunct or inactive, and before many weeks we will have instituted several new ones. We are making a nation-wide campaign to make this the biggest year in our history, and I feel that it will be. The decision of the Richmond case in our favor has meant much to us in increasing life and renewing enthusiasm. "From all over the country reports reach us of individuals and lodges coming back into line, and we believe that before the end of this Grand Lodge year we will have every existing lodge active and in the united body."

EMANCIPATION DAY OBSERVED Forty-seventh Anniversary of Negro Institute with Appropriate Excellence. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE HAMPTON, VA., Jan. 9.—Two thousand representative Negroes of Hampton and vicinity attended the exercises of the forty-seventh anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, held in the Hampton Institute gymnasium, and listened to the many optimistic talks of how the Negro had progressed during the forty-seven years of freedom. The principal address was delivered by President J. A. Cotton of the Henderson Normal Institute, Henderson, N.C., who spoke on "The Negro's opportunity for the future." Dr. Cotton grouped his remarks about four topics: cash, culture, character and Christianity. He emphasized the importance of training Negro men and women who will prove themselves dependable and fearless in doing what is right. He urged the colored people to serve God aright by helping their fellowmen. Dr. H. B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton Institute, spoke eloquently of the fitness of celebrating the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation on ground which has been dedicated to the unbinding of the Negro and Indian through cultural and industrial training. He referred to the excellent work which is being done by Hampton students in fighting ignorance, superstition and sin, like Christian soldiers. Where men had given their lives for freedom it was hitting, he declared, that Negro men and women should connect their lives to noble service. The Rev. A. A. Graham said that he was glad that the young people of Hampton Institute, who are the hope of their race, could face the older people and hear the story of emancipation. He outlined the Negro's up-hill climb and the marches in transformation in the race through less than fifty years of freedom. It was significant, he declared, that on the old battlefields there had spring up institutions for the proper education of Negro youth. He referred with pride to the handiwork of colored women which was on exhibition and to the thirty-horse power automobile which had been built "from the ground up" by a Negro youth of Hampton. David, Owl, a Cherokee Indian, brought the colored people a simple, straightforward, manly message of congratulation on their progress. He said that the Indians were happy to live in peace and harmony with other races. Tremler Scott, of Hampton Institute, led a chorus of fifty voices in the singing of "Fairy Land," "Native Land," and a final selection. The Rev. J. W. Patterson, of Hampton, offered the invocation. The Emancipation Proclamation was read by Nannie Williams, of Hampton. The Hampton Institute band played a selection and a medley. The audience sang "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and "O Freedom."

Allen Washington, associate commandant, met the large gathering of colored people at Mallory avenue in Hampton and escorted them to the Normal school gymnasium. EQUITY CONGRESS ELECTION.

Prof. Lyonel Lyde, who teaches economic geography in the University College, London, has attracted a deal of attention recently with his remarks on the subject of skin color. Prof. Lyde's theory is that whatever the color of primitive man in the beginning, the conditions of life during the glacial period were such that uniformity of results must have been produced. Where man originated is not known—very likely in southern Asia, possibly in Africa, certainly not in Europe, anthropologists say. His original color is supposed to have been a sort of brownish-yellow, not like any of the colors of mankind to-day and scientists call him for the sake of calling him something, a Condwana. He lived in: southern Britain—this, anthropologists think, is certain. Then came the migrations and then Prof. Lyde believes, the variation in color began. Some turned black others brown and others white. and intensify the light. He then applies a gentle pressure on the light, so when he touches himself in cooler light, the activity of the light suppresses the leached light and helps prevent lightening of the skin. He found himself in better climates and increased activity of the liver and the presence of great light favored his skin. --- Old Theories of Race Discovered. The old theories of race are pretty well discarded, for men of the poor race, under differing conditions, would come to be outwardly very different. Thus, even in Africa, which whose body thinks of as the land of the blacks, black is not at all the universal color. In the Soudan, where there is great light and little humidity and no shade, the men are very black. Elsewhere in Africa, where there is forest, more humidity and less light, though about equal heat, the color is brown, and even yellow. As primitive man went on his way over the globe he adapted himself to the conditions he found. Prof. Lafont thinks that it is light, and which is injurious. There are tropics dangerous X-lan rays, which must be stopped, and they were stopped by the darkening of the sun. Since lack of moisture also tends to give a tawny color, it is found that in rainy countries the people are older than in places where there are long and frequent droughts. The race, then, that found a home in moderate and damp climates turned whiter and whiter. It is only in such climates that white stains can colour, and presumably if the present white race were turned into a different part of the world for many hundreds of years the whiteness of the skin would be gradually lost. Perhaps, since the white man is spreading over the world-to-day, it would be fair to say it will in such cases, be lost, the whiteness being retained only in climates that have the conditions under which the race was first bleached. Intensity of light and little humidity make black. Trade winds and little humidity give the tinge of brown to the subtropical Mediterranean people. Then comes yellow, which Paul Lyde puts down as the result of "vast dessicating grass lands" in temperate latitudes. The yellow man is the product of the grass lands with lack of humidity and seasonal extremes in temperatures. The color a man exposed to such conditions would naturally take would be one which conserves heat nearly as well as white, but which also protects from light—for which condensation yellow was the best, or red. The normal color of the leaf color of the grassland beaches would be similar local conditions, on the presence of moisture of proximity to the sea. The mountains of Asia give the maritime Mediterranean are light in color than their brothers of the island plants. SCHOOL OF NEW HAMPSON A. M. B. H. MASON -40 West 130th street, the A. H.

Abysirian Baptist Church The Albysimon Church began the New Year with flying colors, having met all of its financial obligations for 1911, a most trying year financially. In the spring of 1912, Sunday two large audiences were out to greet the pastor, whose messages were filled with optimism and hope. Sixteen new members were given the hand of fellowship; six nine forward in answer to the appeal made by Dr. Johnson and (twelve stood up for prayer). The next three weeks the church will be engaged in a special soul-saving effort. The pastor is conducting but beginning with ten days alone, but beginning with more than ten days he is assisted by the Rev. W., Bishop Johnson, D. D., L.L.D., for twenty-nine years pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Washington, D. C., an eminent preacher and scholar, with a nine-year tenure. He will presach every night next week from the following subjects: Monday, "Sowing and Reaping"; Tuesday, "Zachaus the Sinner"; Wednesday, "Traveling Expenses to Hell"; Thursday, "Had Saved"; Friday, "A Royal Visitor." The last day of December marked the close of three years' ministry of the Rev. A Clayton Powell. The following figures will give some idea of the pastor and church during that period: Dr. Powell made 1,035 sick calls, conducted 263 tutorials, prayed for seventy one babies, united in marriage fifty-one children, delit 402 inmates and mid-week gospel addresses, and delivered to other churches and halls, 122 sermons, lectures and addresses, thus making a total of 551 sermons, added to the church's library. During his pastime the church collected from all sources $16,644.82 During the same time it paid in interest money $21,509, and on the debts Dr. Powell came to New York the church owed all of its property $145,356. It now owes $125,694. During the same period of time 263 members were hired to the roll. It now owes $125,694. It considered one of the strongest Negro churches in America. Manhattan Y. M. C. A.

It is not one of speculation, but one of co-operation in moulding public opinion favorable to the race and to demonstrate to our many unfavorable cities that we can do and be. I commenced considering my future work to aid in making sentiment favorable to the race. I investigated the forces at work against us and soon realized that something must be done, great deal in being done in abstract, but something in a concrete form should be done on the Pacific Coast to give additional force to work of the New York Age and the great discussions concerning the subject with a number of persons interested in checking the growing feeling against us. I was led to organize an association to secure a large trust of land where all constituent bodies would be involved in the process of the movement. The specific work to do was soon decided upon. That to organize a town, to become a great farmers, I found an ideal location of over three thousand acres of the best virgin soil in the great San Joaquin Valley. Here we have communities with great sentiment-making community. The town is located on the main line of the Santa Fe Railway, with ample shipping facilities to San Francisco, Angeles, and find a ready market for our produce. We have the following organizations to equip us to accomplish the object we have in view: The Progressive Association, composed of all members of the colony to take care of the children to be trained to ideal citizenship; an advisory council of administration, composed of seven departments, to study all forms of municipal government, particularly the commission form, so that by the time we are ready to incorporate our children into our city with a model form of government. The Farmers' Forum is composed of farmers, who receive, from the United States Department of Agriculture bill this covering every phase of scientific and practical work over the thousand per year and more on ten acres, churches to take care of the moral side of the question. It feels that it we are to save Africa, its missionaries should trained in the semi-tropics for service work among Africans. In the intellectual world we have our public school system to prepare and to inspire the children with higher ideals of life. A Women's Improvement Club, to cover all departments of domestic banking Association, an organization composed of the children of the colony, who are taught to save and own a bank account. To this end the children must periodically, open their banks in the presence of each other, to learn how to manage the account, and discuss in a simple form values. Persent me to say that we have found and made a number of friends who are encouraging us in this work, particularly the officers of the Pacific Territory who are well known to us as their officers, builders, and appreciated terms such that their people could meet. We are proud to publish to RD Pictures security of the Pacific Territory given his details in this work and to those who are willing to help with the details in this work. We are proud to show that the information is possible and valuable of all. After reading several letters, Adelaide to Those Who Want to do to those who are interested in that since these people are determined to leave New York to them, they directed this where they are directed this great problem and at the same time aid in solving this great problem. This enterprise resolves itself into a unique school which we call the School of Citizenship, Municipal Government and Scientific Farming, as all this is taught here in a practical way. We teach students how to ink text constituting his textbook, with the Advisory Council and Farmers' Forum as instructors. We expect receive from Tuskegee and other such schools a number of their graduates to practically demonstrate their ability to do and be, for the most part, in the field of agriculture. The colony is E. Z. Hunt, a graduate in dairy from Hatton. He has erected a model dairy barn and is the owner of a splendid herd of cattle, at the same time cultivating over twenty acres of the best soil in the great San Joaquin Valley. Thus you see we are furnishing a location for such environments as will help them to develop the heat that is within them. We have also here the Booker T. Washington City Park of twenty-seven acres. In this park will be monumental erected in honor of our great men and women and to the soldiers of the war. We will also be honoring the honor, property and defending the flag of America. There is no other place in the United States more suitable for such monuments than this, as this is on the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad between Chicago and New York, light by its numerous trailing, where the passengers can see what is being done by us.

Social to THE NEW YORK ACK New Orleans, La., Jan. 10.—The Supreme Court rendered a decision Tuesday in favor of the old-line Republicans and against the "Lily Whites," holding that a primary election was obligatory. The court orders that the candidates named by Walter L. Cohen be placed on the official ballot. The decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court is a complete victory for the old-line Republicans, sometimes known as the "Black and Tans," headed by Walter H. Cohen, and means that the attempt of Pearl Wright, the National Committeeman from Louisiana, to put the Republican party in that state in the hands of the "Lily Whites" has completely failed. Wright did not want the Republican party of the state to hold a primary election, as he well knows that the Cohen faction will win with ease. He has been working assiduously to present a primary election. The primary law enacted by the State Legislature provides that the various political committees shall meet on the first Tuesday of October before the general election to nominate candidates for the various state offices and elect members of the State Central Committee. The "Lily White" Committee met and issued a call for a primary to be held on January 24, 1912. After a conference of the old-liners it was decided to enter said primary and accordingly filed notification of candidacy for governor and members of the State Committee with the Secretary of State. The "Lily Whites" likewise lied their notifications with the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State accepted both and published same as the Republican contestants in the primary. After this publication the "Lily Whites" reconvened their committee on October 31 and declared all of their candidates for members of the State Committee elected, thereby hoping to avoid a primary. They notified the Secretary of State of this action and requested the latter to place all their members on the record as the regular members of the State Central Committee of the Republican party. The Secretary refused to do so. The action of the Secretary of State was approved by the Attorney-General of the State. Determined toight Republicans and keep out of the party primary, opposing them harder than they would Democrats, the "Lily Whites" instituted mandamus proceedings to compel the Secretary of State to place their nominees as the accredited and duly elected members of the State Central Committee on the record of his office. CONTENDED FOR NEGRO. Special to The New York Age. LITTLE ROCK, ARK., January 8.—The Negroes of the Southwest section regard Gen. Powell Clayton, Arkansas member of the Republican National Executive Committee, as perhaps the strongest friend they have in all matters touching their political rights. For 45 years and more General Clayton and members of his family have stood for the full manhood rights of the Negro. He has worked during all this time with such people as Negro race as J. E. Hush and others of that character in this locality. His voice in behalf of the Negro has rung out clearly, and there has never been any equivocation in his position with reference to these rights. At a recent meeting of the Republican National Executive Committee Gen. Clayton opposed, the change in the rule of apportionment and based his objection primarily upon the injustice which would be inflicted upon the Negroes, not only in the South, but of the entire country by having the seal of approval placed upon their disfranchisement by Democratic legislators. He scored the "rank injustice of supplementing Democratic disfranchisement of American citizens in the South by corresponding disfranchisements in our conventions." Continuing, Gen. Clayton said: "In this connection, I am able to show in round numbers, based upon the census of 1910, the Negro population in some of our Northern and doubtful States, namely, Massachusetts, 28,000; Connecticut, 15,000; New York, 134,000; New Jersey, 90,000; Pennsylvania, 194,000; Ohio, 111,000; Indiana, 160,000; Illinois, 109,000; Missouri, 157,000; Kansas, 55,000; Maryland, 232,000; total, about 1295,000. "The colored people of these and other States would be more than human if they did not resent at the poll such rank injustice, which, together with what their brothers in te South are enduring, would seem to justify them in making terms with the party into whose keeping their rights seem already to have been reelected. The efforts to change the rule of appointment do not appear to have originated with the Republican masses, nor even with the local conventions that animate them with the delegates themselves." Requests for Tuskace Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 8.—By the will of the late Z. R. Cornwell of Cleveland, O. the Tuskegee Institute is the university of $2,000 and addition is made in the cost of the estate. At the same time the school has been notified that by the late Solomon Phillips of Tuskegee, Pa. it is to receive two thirds of the fifty-one acres of valuable coal lands in the Pennsylvania coal country. St. Louis, Mo. Jan. 8—At the Emancipation Celebration last week an act of church (Church, the following) resolutions were adopted against segregation: As American citizens we are united in an indignant protest against any attempt at legislation, city, state or national, designating districts where we reside and prohibiting the right of residence to these people in other districts. When such proscription and segregation is inflicted it is a dastardly wrong and is a plain and audacious act. We are the author and letter of the constitution. The constitution guarantees to all citizens, native and naturalized, "An equal protection of the laws," and where your right of residence is reiterated, you are entitled to fence off the City Assembly can have no such police powers except to quarantine people afflicted with malignant or contagious disease, or to fence off brothels and busy houses. It is the duty of the City Assembly to "the Dago Hills," the "Africas" and the "Kerry Patches" that our schools, churches and the thousand and one agencies of our religion and civilization are trying to keep us to legalize, for they are the breeding grounds of crime, poverty and disease. We protest as law-abiding citizens, to our flag, taxpayers, laborers, with families and homes, with churches and schools, with morals and schools, with our most advanced American civilization. Such segregation is outrage added to insult, and can have no other effect than to check our upward struggle, wet blanket over our moral energies. The Emancipation Celebration is said to have been the first ever held in one of the colored churches of this city and was well attended. Virgil Franklin presided, and among those taking part were the Rev. E. Stowe, P. V. A. Van New, George H. Howard, and the Rev. J. K. Parker. SOUTH CAROLINA TEACHERS Special to Twin New York Am Manning, S. C., Jan. S. — The twelfth annual session of the State Colored Teachers' Association met in Orangeburg December 27 and 30, with a large enrollment of educators presenting the teaching schools in the public system of Negro education, also the leading colleges and universities for Negroes in this state. The meeting was one of great importance, as its effect upon the life and working of the school in South Carolina is the most important of some of the strongest men and women of the profession. "School Improvement," "School Needs," "Teachers' Associations," "Supervision of Negro Schools," and "Negro High Schools" were some of the subjects discussed in a manner that emphasized the inspiration to the body of teachers gathered. The officers of the associations for South Carolina are: Prof. N. J. Frederick, superintendent of the Howard Graded School at Columbia, president; Prof. secretary, Mrs. C. D.

Wallace, dean of languages in Clifton, New Jersey, principal of address to the country, setting forth in a masterly way the wants of the Negroes in their desire for more funds, better buildings and more equipments for their schools. The sessions of the association were held in the chapel of the State University, Georgetown, Aoyama reception given the teachers of the state by the president and faculty of this great school. Prof. R. Shaw Wilkinson of Charleston, S. C., is president of the State University. He succeeded Dr. Thomas E. Miller, who held the position for fifteen years.

Address all letters and make all bills and money orders payable to New York Age. National Democratic party leaders are making a desperate effort to shake Col William Jendlings' Bryan off their backs. This is leap year. Old maids and young maids are at liberty to propose, if they can find an eligible male man who will listen while they do it. The license for women to do this was instituted by her maid 'blissit Mageste,' Margaret the Maid of Norway, about the year 1836. The mayor of Santa Monica, Cal., has appointed a municipal advisory council composed entirely of women. Some men are born to trouble, some have it thrust upon them, and some go out bravely and gun for it. The mayor of Santa Monica appears to belong to the last class. The Negro was, by the photograph of it noticeably absent from the Peace Dinner in New York, Saturday evening, December 30, at which Mr. Andrew Ornagic presided. President Taft funneled and Col. John Temple Graves differed to himself the choicest oratorical flowers. In the editorial notes in the last issue of The Age we were made to say that the Alexander Gladstone Dowie was the founder of Zion City, near wicked Chicago. 'He was not; he is the son of the founder John Alexander Dowie. The two men are not in the same class; the father did great things, which his mother helped others to undo. Now how the delegates of Australia are in arms against a proposed fisticuff between Jack Johnson and McVean, who will decide the decision over Langford Dempster. Johnson and McVean are both champions. Are they trying to shove Negro presidents off the shoulders of sports, having force gains down the Negro jocking field the surf? It looks that way. The Republican State Committee of Alabama adopted a resolution repudiating the statement of their chairman, Dr. Lloyd, that President Taft could not carry the State Chairman Brown, of Ohio, in also driving troubles of the open war for making a similar statement opposing Dale President Taft is gaining strength as a candidate to succeed himself. The Italian war in Africa appears to have blamed the desire of American Indians to visit the fatherland during the holidays, as one ship sailing between Christmas and New Year's Day carried only twenty-four passengers, one man, bringing two single women and two married men. And yet it is said there are many American Indians in the Italian army in Tripoli. In his speech at Toledo, Ohio, December 28, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin said that he is not a hide-bound Republican. That is to say, although he is holding the Republican nomination for President, he considers himself free to hold the nominees and platform of the Chicago convention next summer if he does not approve of them. Senator La Follette is a solemn political war. Wherever the English language is read the novels of Charles Dickens are generally read than those of any other author, except, perhaps, Sir Walter Scott. The reading of the works of the two is tantamount to a liberal education. Charles Dickens died suddenly in summer, in June, 1850. His great son, Alfrey Tennison Dickens, has been filling lecture engagements in the country; died suddenly at the age of 100, in New York. Tuesday of March, He was somewhat over sixteen years of age. Most of his life COL. ROOSEVELT, REDIVIVUR All the world respects a fighter, although he be as Gen. William R. Siffer, three hundred pounds, weight, sitting on a big stump, ten nails away, directing the Battle of Santiago, or Gen. Joseph Wheeler, ninety pounds weight, watching the battle through a spy glass, from the top of a palm tree, far enough away not to get hurt by a stray shot, or Col. Theodore Roosevelt, two hundred and eighty pounds weight, charging up San Juan, Hill, with the Ninth Cavalry to right, and the Tenth Cavalry to left of him. When the man on horseback appears, booted and spurred and khakied, ready for the fray, whatever the nature of it, there are bound to be things doing not written in the book of the civilians—the quiet people who look on the passing show and listen to the shouts of the rattle and vote quietly on election day the way they think, quietly, for the best interests of the country, as they have light to see those interests. So the sudden precipitation by his friends of Col. Roosevelt into the contest for the nomination for President to succeed President Taft on and since December 2, has sent the political electrical currents skidding through the pulse of the nation. The suggestion of Gov. Osborn of Michigan that both President Taft and Senator La Follette withdraw from the Presidential race and make straight the way for Col. Roosevelt of New York or Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge of Indiana, was not only one of those audacious pronouncements that wake up the slumbering political elites, but drew from President Taft the laconic but dramatic statement that "nothing but death can keep me out of the right now." That sort of declaration was needed from the President to enthuse the spirit of his friends and those who believe in "a square deal." The impression was fast gaining ground that the President was frightened at the loud talk of his enemies, and had not the courage to stand out in the open and put his big foot down hard on the "loud talk," which usually feeds on talk and grows fat upon what it feeds. President Tatt has plenty of evidence scattered through his long public service in this country and the Far East, that he has been courageous enough for the public interests at the psychological moment, and that there was no ground for supposing he could not be courageous enough in his own interests when these needed his protection. President Taft's flat-tested announcement that nothing but death can keep him out of the fight now will rally his friends to his support as the other statement he could have made would have done. The Act has not agreed with him in his Southern policy towards the Negro and appointment of Southern Democrats to offices which should have been given to black it white Republicans, but that is an answer which weakened also the administrations of President Roosevelt and President McKinley, and was first introduced for confluence into Republican policy by President Hayes; but we see no reason why President Taft should not be nominated and elected to succeed himself. He has given the country a safe, sober-minded and honest administration of public affairs, with no mistakes that have worked for public injury. He has not given and comfort to the radical progression that seeks some new thing at every point, although the old thing is good enough, and it is a strong point in his favor that he has not; and he entitled to a second term as write off. Roosevelt, Mr. McKinley not Mr. Harrison. And we shall hope to see him get it. "What is his record in the Trust question?" "What is his record on the labor question?" are or appear to be the least questions considered in selecting a successor to the late Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan of the Federal Supreme Court. We shall miss him more and more as the years come and go and as questions affecting the rights of the Negro are submitted to the Federal Supreme Court for settlement. --- The Southern States raised 15,000,000 bales of cotton last year on 35,000,000 acres of land. That is what free labor can do. Slave labor produced, in 1860, the year before the war, 4,699,770 bales. In 1860 there were 4,500,000 slaves, every one of whom except the comparatively few engaged in domestic service and the mechanical trades, was engaged in cotton raising, with the lash, the overseer and the bloodhound and long hours for taskmaster in 1911, with quite 10,000,000 Negro population, 15,000,000 bales were raised by free labor, not more perhaps than one-half being engaged in cotton raising, and with no lash, no overseer and bloodhound for taskmaster. Of course improved methods of farming and machinery have had to do with it, but the fact remains that free labor is more productive than slave labor; and the lie that the free Negro would not work has been knocked down and stunned every year since 1865 by the industrial statistics of the Southern States, that do not hit, which shows a predominant stunt marvels in the history of mankind. The New York Times long ago proved the quality of friendship it entertains for Negroes especially for the Negro who is seeking to help his head about the level of the great masses of the race. It loses no opportunity to whack us, to cast derision upon our well-meant efforts to fit ourselves for all the duties of citizenship and keeps alive always a spirit of hostility toward Negro ambition. Its latest offense is committed in connection with a news item sent by its Washington correspondent and published in The Times on its front page Saturday, December 30. This news item is hurried headed: "Race Prejudice at Capitol," "Mrs. Wickersham Said to Object to Receiving With Negro Official's Wife," and went on to say Mrs. Wickersham was leaving Washington so as not to be there for the New Year's reception for the reason stated above. Now if the Washington correspondent of The Times wanted to be fair and square, a thing he has often proved he is not willing to be where Negroes are concerned, he would have first of all sought to secure the real facts in the case. He would have found, for instance, that Mrs. William H. Lewis, the wife of Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, is in France, where she has been since early fall. He would have found further that the Assistant Attorney General left Washington December 4 for Kansas City, Mo., where he delivered an address, from which point he proceeded to Atlanta, Ga., in the far South, where he delivered, the Emancipation address in the Auditorium at Atlanta. It seems to be taken for granted that any kind of a lie can be published regarding Negroes and be gulped down without anybody holding publishers to proper account. Here is an article thoroughly misleading, thoroughly mean and, because of the purpose back of it, thoroughly despicable. It is to be regretted always that Negroes are at a serious disadvantage in matters of this character, but THE AGE nevertheless intends to expose these efforts always whether practised by metropolitan newspapers which seem to think that they can get outside the pale of decency when it comes to dealing with Negroes, or by lesser luminaries. At a time when the whole American people are having its sympathies worked upon by all of race prejudice practiced by Russia against certain American citizens, it would seem that The Times and other papers of that character would want to be lending their efforts toward stamping out racial prejudice instead of fomenting it. We do not believe that decent people anywhere will stand on the reprehensible news publication which The Times carries in its issue of December 30 and to which we will attention. --- A SIGN IN THE EAST. The Gaekwar of Baroda, the ranking prince of the Indian Empire, who is an appanage of the British Crown, insulted King George at the recent Delhi Durrat, and the British world has had the qualities ever since. The Gaekwar is said to have apologized. Perhaps he has done, but the fact that he did so will never reach the millions of India who have heard that he affronted his British Majesty publicly. The Gaekwar was educated in Europe. He has a son in Harvard University, near Boston, a very sober-sided, self-mained young man, who says he will be glad when he has finished his education in this country and can return to his own, where, as he puts it, the women are not so fresh, so munnish, as they are in this country. Without waiting for the officious New York Boxing Commissioner O'Brien to propose that the boxing law be so amended as to prohibit black men from boxing with white men, Gov. Dix has recommended to the Legislature that the Frawley boxing bill be repealed. If the bill should be repealed Boxing Commissioner O'Brien would also be repealed. If it should happen so it will prove anew that there are more ways than one to kill O'Briens with the big head. The Republic of China has been proclaimed, and Dr. Sun Yat Sen has been named as first President, but the fighting is still fast and furious. President Sun is not much of a talker, and is fortunate in having accomplished a wit and diplomat as Dr. Wu Ting Fang to do his talking for him. Dr. Sun has for twenty years been travelling to and fro in the earth, with a big price on his head, working for a Chinese Republic, and now he just a part of it, with the whole of it in eight. Holding his pouch away at what goes on. As a pastor, Dr. Ramson has made a brilliant success. During the past ten years he has had but three charges—Chicago, Boston and New York; three of the most important in his connection, and in all of them he has had plowed success as a practical church pastor and brilliant pulpit orator, with the public spirit all those in such work would possess. Besides these philanthropy, which he to be editor of a great church magazine, Dr. Ramson is a rite scholar and a diligent student of books, of men and of affairs. He would easily maintain the high literary excellence of the Aristocrite, which is the strongest and best of our church magazines. It would be gratifying to have the General Conference judge Dr. Ramson the position he deserves, because he is a popular and scholarly churchman and a public-spirited chapel. He deserves well of his church. The rapid development of the Negro population of the Harlem district of New York City, despite the frantic efforts of alleged white property owners to impede it, was able to attract a large, appreciable settlement out of sympathy with the dominant treatment of the people, driven away from other parts of New York City, but the country as well. This undesirable element, it seems, cannot content itself anywhere, but must make trouble for itself, and all those whose lives it touched. Rowleyman in Harlem keeps pace with the growth of population, and keeps the highest people of the district gathering, what mischief it will next do. There should be Negro policemen in Harlem. The honest people in the district are entitled to protection from the lawlessness the rowdyism of the undesirable elements, among them, as the honest people in other districts have. But Harlem obtains hard Negro police unless Negroes take the Civil service examination and get on the eligible list. This fact is well known. Why then, do not capable Negroes take the Civil Service examination? Certainly and of a survey others will not take it for them. Col. Roosevelt has shut himself up in his big home on the top of Segment Hill and perseveringly refuses to not newspaper reporters. No playful, then that the newspapers announced on the same day from Lawrence, Kansas, that the photograph, at the University of Kansas recorded a long series of earthquake tremors, lasting all day, 4,000 miles away. The two announcements were made January 4. When two things like that happen on the same day, 4,000 miles apart, the connection between them is too close to be accidental. The last year was the greatest in the history of mankind in the historial of public benefactions, the worst being $200,000,000, of which Mr. Andrew Carnegie, heading the lion, gave $100,000. The world is more charitable, if not better, than it was in the beginning of the Christian era. And with the history of the Ransom that ruled the world at the time open before him, who will say that the world is not better, stronger and wiser than it was when Herod cut off the land of John of Zacharia and bring on the most Jesse of Mary. The brotherhood of man is now recognized as being common in all civilized countries, a step forward, which them of Aid and Akbar have, and spirit and always are willing to take, without which there can be no new freedom of the people of the world, without the proper foundation for the proper foundation of the world. The six elevator men soon thought better of their heavy action and wanted white job book. In explaining their conduct one of the men said, when seeking to recover his job: "Why, I never got less than $50 at Christmas and often as much as $100. I had even borrowed money on the strength of this for general Christmas expenses. It was a slight indirection on our part, I know, but won't you please let me have my job back?" But the explanation did not work. The men were not taken back. Their places were filled by others, and they will have to get out and hustle for other jobs with thousands of others who are doing that disagreeable stunt. And there is another pathetic side to the story. One of the men says he had "even borrowed money" on the expectation "that he would get something he was not legally entitled to, and the giving of which depended entirely upon the kindly benevolence of others. A great many people do that, and cause themselves and others much trouble and expense. A long time ago, in "Great Expectations," Charles Dickens showed the absurdity, the sorrow and the trouble incident to expecting something without a legal claim to back it up. If you have a good job hold onto it until you have secured a better. THE LARGE FAMILY BUSINESS. THE LARGE FAMILY BUSINESS. Advocates of large families, that the statistics of the national population may be significant in the eyes and esti- gates of foreign nations, do not also advocate pensions for those large families whose parents are unable to properly feed, clothe and educate them, but they should do it. Now and again a case is reported in the daily newspapers full of the tragedy of the death agony. For instance, at Garfield, N. J. there is a family with eight children, whose father earns only 19 a week. Recently the mother told the next to the oldest, a girl not 12, to go out and get work or drown herself, as they were unable longer to take care of them all. The girl went to Passaic and tried hard to get work, but failed, and then tried to drown herself in the Dundee Canal. In court the poor mother promised to take care of the child and send her to school. How can she do it, with ten in the family on 19 a week? The State should take five of those children and care for them as orphans are cared for. Man is the only animal that is made a share for his children, and who is never relieved of the obligation, as his host will and testament is supposed to leave them what they did not devour in his lifetime. Children seldom consider that they owe their parents anything after they leave the parental care, or that their parents cease to owe them everything until their wills are probated. The child never gets too old to feel that he cannot have what his father or mother has and he needs, whether the parents can stand for it or not, and he never feels any obligation to return or to account to them for it. What is theirs is his, he thinks and acts, to have in part while they live and in whale when they are dead. In the case of the poorer people this principle worked out by selfish children is the agony of living death to the parent, who rear and educate them and strive to set them up in life. It takes sixteen years to rear and educate a girl and twenty-one a boy, but one indisposition may destroy the boy or girl and leave nothing to show for the time and expense and anxiety spent upon their raising and education, but if they turn out well they seldom feel that the parents have any claim on their earnings and time, but that all they possess belongs to and is given to their own children. Among well-to-do people it is a little better; but even among them the children do not always consider that they owe their parents anything except love and gratitude for the time and money spent upon their raising and education; and even this love and gratitude are turned into hate if the last will and testament of the parents disappoint the expectations of the children. Some have too many and some too few children in the family; but every family lives many members than it needs. If the parents unable to properly raise and educate each member of it. With most heads of families this is a life and death struggle, and as the last child passes out into the world so dure and to do the worn-out parents are ready to pass on into "the bourne from which no traveller returns." Negro children may not have less love and respect for their parents than the children of other races; but they have little enough and should have a great deal more, but that Negro parents, in the main, have more children than they can properly raise and educate, under existing conditions, will be admitted, and they should have fewer. The departing year, 1911, got no harder editorial kick than that the New York Sun gave it, in the following: "A year of demagogism, of hollow vociferant ranting, of convalescing business frightened or forced out of its natural recovery, of politics putrid and unashamed. So much for 1911; the devil fly away with him and much good may it do him! May that horrible example be profitable to his successor!" By the way, the Sun has a new management, Mr. William C. Reick, an experienced journalist, being the new president. Good luck for you, Mr. Reick. There is a chaos of confusion in Persia because of the interference of Russia, with the consent of Great Britain in the internal affairs of the country the dismissal of Morgan Shuster, the American Treasurer-General, having been forced upon the Persians by Russia. Mr. Shuster had brought the finances of Persia to a good condition, with promise of a sound, healthy condition, but he stood in the selfish way of Russia and Great Britain and was forced to give up his work. Persia figures very conspicuously in Biblical history, which makes what is taking place there all the more interesting. It is announced with more or less of the gravity that makes a political segar wooden Indian blink that Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, who wants to lead the Democratic Hessians to the November ballot boxes, and Col. George Harvey of Harper's Weekly and the North American Review, have parted company, although Col. Harvey is credited with having discovered Dr. Wilson as a candidate for Governor of New Jersey, Gov. Wilson is credited with being structurally incapable of having anybody near him who is as large as he is, or who has helped him climb up the ladder of life. A man built that way can only get so high and no higher. Senator La Follette's Presidential aspirations have run upon the rocks of conflicting ambitions, and to-day is as full of gaping wounds as a porous plaster. Last week the Progressive Republican League, which was born so that Senator La Follette's Presidential aspirations might live, refused to endorse his candidacy, because the friends of C.L. Roosevelt in the pow-wow were strong enough to prevent it, "as being unwise"; and fast upon the heels of that action Gov. Osborn of Michigan, who was to have presided at a La Follette speechmaking, advised Senator La Follette to withdraw from the race for the Presidency, and make the way straight for Col. Roosevelt. Senator La Follette thinks he is the head and front of the Republican Progressives, but it looks as if he had not sufficiently consulted Col. Roosevelt, who is himself much Republican Progressive. On with the dance. --- The census returns for 1900 show that there is in New York City a foreign born white population of 1,260,918. From the color of them, as we observe them in all sorts, places and conveyances, more than half of them appear to be mulattoes, and twice as numerous as the census numbers give. Where did they get their red, brown yellow and olive complexions? They are Europeans for the most part, but 4,200 years after the flood their African and Asiatic blood still shows, their faces and insists on being seen and reckoned with. The laws of anthropology have and do play the laws of provoking tricks on mankind. The four colors of them who went out of the Garden of Eden, following the four rivers, appear and disappear with the revolution of the years, simply because the races refuse to remain separated in the metes and bounds of their habitat as fixed for them. There are four Smiths in the Federal Senate, and one on the way there from Arizona. They are John Walter Smith of Maryland, Hoke Smith of Georgia, Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, William Alden Smith of Michigan, and Marcus A. Smith of Arizona. Hoke Smith of Georgia is the biggest in size and loudest, most demagogic in mouth and mischievous of record. William Alden Smith of Michigan is the ablest and the only Republican of the five. The Smith family is a large respectable and useful family, but too many of them appear to be Democratic for the good of the Smith family or the United States. Anyhow, on the theory of all Smiths up, no Smiths down, we are glad to note that the Smiths are looking up. By the way, what has become of our Dr. Peter J. Smith, the cut of whose Van Dyke board has always a *Boulinger point?* Boulinger is French, and should be pronounced, with the eyes closed, "Boo- koons." I have been a reader of your paper for some time. The contributions and acknowledgments appear with breadth and satisfaction of thought; hence I am writer this chapter with a view to commencing upon something manifesting itself in this country which is endangering the peace and prosperity of the people. November 12 I was invited to the summer meeting at Carnegie Hall under the supporter of the Citizens National Peace Committee, in support of the restoration of the general arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France. The program of the meeting was as follows: Joseph H. Chote, preamble Henry Watterson, editor Louis B. McKinley, editor Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Andrew Carnegie, Frederick R. Coudert and Dr. Stephen B. Wise. Three of the members on the program got an opportunity to speak without interruption, namely, Joseph H. Chote, Henry H. atterson and Dr. Chote, Henry H. atterson and Dr. Wise, a Jewish rabbi, spoke in the midst of a storm of cat-calls, hissing, groans, howls, feering remarks and stamping of feet. The cause for the outbreak of lawlessness and disorder in the province of the committee, had seat on the platform, introducing an amendment to the citizen's resolution, favoring the ratification of the arbitration treaties. As soon as the man stated his amendment his colons in the house howled as a mob. The presiding officer was helpless and could not restore order. Gentlemen came to the assistance of the chairman, but it availed but little; finally Dr. Wise attempted to speak. While we who were down on our knees going for this chair the chairman attempted to finish the business of the evening, but the mob spirit was so strong that he declared the meeting adjourned. From this and other occasions are we to conclude that mob prevail in this province in control rather than rightous law and order? Unfair play in this country has been practiced so often and long with regard to the colored people until it is manifesting itself anywhere and in human benefactor like Andrew Carnegie being forced from making a speech in the interest of a world's good movement to which he has and is contributing millions. Think of able men contributing to the world for the good of human beings made objects of premeditated mental assaults. What does it mean? R. M. BOLDEN. THE NEGRO PRESS Company for Real Live Skunk Heard and Felt But Not Seen Some men run newspapers to boost others, others to boost themselves. It is noticeable that no editors who have made marks for themselves or their papers are in the second class—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. The Good Time Sort The man who is looking for a good time will contribute little to the building of the race. We need men and women who labor to improve conditions about them, not the good time worker-Danville (Ky). Torchlight. The Vanity of lonerness The pastor wants to be measured as a big preacher and so he is glad to be called doctor and nearly feels that he is in a doctor because his people call him "the doctor" and leads him to sim his name with two capital Ds following. - Georgia Baptist The Place Farthest Down And yet some foolish people say there is no hell. We know not what is "down yonder," but the sulphur pumper of injustice which so often rise to suffocate the Negro are wonderfully suggestive of the region presided over by his Satanic Majesty.—Birmingham American. Bayannah Gamblers The gambling habit is far too prevalent in this city. These gamblers who frequent dives in certain sections of the city are always on the lookout for innocent prey. These gamblers make up our criminal class and the police turn them out of the city or put them to work on the farm.—Savannah Tribune. Correct Viewpoint We appreciate the fact that the La Salle Hotel can get along without our patronage, but fortunately we are living in a city with a high discrimination or tolerate racial differences, therefore as long as their doors are open to the public they can make up their minds not only to see us occasionally.-Chicago Defender. Self-Held Needed. Freed from Chattel slavery at great cost of blood and treasure, enlightened at uncounted millions of cost to the slave owners, he learned the great lesson of self-help. It must come to him, that he who would be free himself must strike the blow. He must come to learn that God allows the slave who help them settle.-Baldwin Express. They Will All Die The most dangerous Negro in the community is the Negro who "tattles" to white folks. Generally that type of a Negro is untrustworthy and unpredictable. He is a menace to society and the community in which he lives. We live in a world where long ago that much of the trouble was better, but between the races can be tricked into this class of Negroes —Alexandria (Va.) Advance Messenger. He Must Hurtle While Coming The Negro must come into his enjoyment of the wealth, the culture, the freedom and the opportunities and privileges of American life, along with the white American, share and share alike, in full payment of the implied obligation assumed with his adoption into the country, or America must be free from self-repression and internal revolution.

WALTON "SENSATIONAL" VAUDEVILLE ACTS ONCE upon a time there thrived in this country an institution of amusement, as well as education, known as the dime museum, which was a sort of a counter attraction to the side show of a circus, where the bearded lady sat for hours and unflinchingly submitted herself to the gaze of the curious as she affectionately stroked her hirsute adornment, and the tattooed man exhibited his frescoed skin and did his best to appear half human. Then the fat lady who weighed three hundred pounds and the skinny man of elongated proportions found it easy to earn a livelihood. The passing of the dime museum was due to the entrance of vaudeville, which made business bad for the bearded lady, the tattooed man, the fat lady and the tall man. Nowadays if they cannot "hand" with a circus they are compelled to resort to their brain and brawn, particularly the latter, in order to meet the needs of the inner man. Over a year ago one of the last of New York's famous dime museums—Huber—located in East Fourteenth street, closed its doors, which was truly a calamity for the bearded lady and her colleagues. Of late the vaudeville houses, that is, some of them, seem to have become afflicted with a mania to present on their bills attractions which do nothing else but appeal to the morbid curiosity of the theatre-goer, and which lay no claim to being classed in the category of dramatic art. So energetic have been many of the vaudeville managers recently in furnishing their patrons with "sensations" that the New York Clipper, the oldest theatrical paper in America, has seen fit to register a protest against the new order of things in an article under the caption, "The Sensational in Vaudeville," which reads: "On some time past there has been a tendency on the part of some managers to introduce sensational, and sometimes notorious, characters into our vaudeville performance." A popular prize fighter, no matter how unpollished he may be, he will always grabbed up, at a large salary, and put on the stage as an attraction. A woman who has become notorious in the murder trial or one that has been abused, in some great scandal, in the murder trial, together with ball players and others, are exhibited to gratify the morbid tastes and guilty which permeates a large part of the population in all large centers. The manager presents these features to the box office, and that is his answer to any criticism made against him. But it is deplorable that, in the absence of a victim, becoming its patron, to have the features starred before them. It checks their finer sensibilities, and puts on their other to other types of amusement. Taking another view of this matter, it is unfair to the persecuted man and money to perfect himself and act, so as to give a creditable performance, to have sensational and menacing features placed in comedy with him. In certain cases these features are encroachments upon a line of business they are not entitled to, but they attract attention and give an appreciation for art or merit in any form. If we must have exhibitions of notorious characters, we must themselves and let them have vaudeville clean and entertaining. The charge made by the Clipper that too many sensational and notorious features are being used by the managers of reputable vaudeville houses, and that the variety theatre is being turned into a museum for the curious is upheld by many reputable vaudeville peri-ramers, who assert that large numbers of variety artists are kept out of employment nowadays because of the invasion of those who can neither sing, dance nor act, but whose only claim for consideration is that they can attract hundreds who are inclined to be curious. A story is told of James Thornton, one of vaudeville's best known performers, who recently met Callahan, one of the crack players of the Chicago White Sox. It is said that the two men met several weeks ago and the following dialogue took place: Callahan—'Why, hello, Thornton, how are you, and how's business?' Thornton—'Business is very bad. I have not worked for a couple of weeks.' Callahan—'You don't mean to tell me, Thornton, that a performer of your ability is not working?' Thornton—'No; you see I have not killed anybody. I am no prize fighter, and I have never been a sensation on the stage. The performers are unable to show contracts for a number of weeks in advance nowadays.' It is not uncommon to hear performers complain of the marked attention being shown 'sensational' acts, by some managers, and the indictment is made that the tone of vaudeville is being lowed instead of raised by a certain class of acts put on the bills. who shot at old "Moneybags" for honor's sake, the modern Romeo about whom 'steen young women committed suicide, and the type of a mother Col. Roosevelt loves so well, who has emulated the example of the old woman who lived in a shoe. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. DR. BEANS FROM BOSTON CO.—Brendan Theatre, Omaha, Neb. - Des. Moles, Ia.

The My Friend From Dixie Company is at the National Theatre, Philadelphia, this week and playing to a good business. Last week the Camden Post Telegram, in speaking of the show, said in part: "If the artists composing the company called 'My Friend From Dixie' now at the Temple Theatre, were white instead of colored the prices could be made $2 and there would be a scarcity of seats. Never before in the history of this playhouse has a better, or even as good a singing show as the Dixie Company been presented." ORGANIZING A CIRCUIT S. H. Dudley, the well-known comedian, is devoting much of his spare time on the road this season to organizing a colored circuit of theatres. The circuit will include the following cities New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Norfolk, Newport, News, Va., Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Ind. anapolis, Dayton and Columbus, Mr. Dudley says. I will give out additional plans in this va. at some future time. ARRIVED ON LUSITANIA Tom Brown, of Brown and Newport, who is one of the charter members of The Frogs, arrived from Europe on the Lusitania last Friday morning, having made the trip to participate in The Frogs' entertainment to be given at the New Star Casino, 107th street, between Lexington and Park avenues, Monday evening, January 29. Frog Brown was accompanied by his wife, and he attended a rehearsal of The Frogs held Friday evening. The demand for guests of the entertainments large, and only a few are unsold. The souvenir program being gotten out for the occasion will be elegant in design and well worth saving. ```markdown ``` BALDWIN DID NOT SHOW UP. For reasons unknown, when the case of Louis F. Baldwin, a post office employee, against Harry Levy, treasurer of the Lyric Theatre, was called for trial Saturday in Special Sessions, Baldwin did not put in his appearance, and upon the recommendation of Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith, Levy was released. Baldwin had Levy arrested on the charge of race discrimination. Baldwin, accompanied by Miss Mandy Green, went to the Lyric Theatre on October 13, with tickets for the orchestra, which he had purchased by telephone, and were delivered by messenger. The management refused to accept the tickets, and through the efforts of District Attorney Whitman Magistrate Appleton issued a warrant for Levy's arrest for violating Section 514 of the Penal Code. At the time the arrest of the manager caused much excitement in theatrical circles. Why Baldwin failed to appear at the trial to press his charges has not been explained. SHOULD PLAYGOERS HISS. When Prof. George D. Baker, of Harvard, who is head of the Drama League of Boston, told a Philadelphia audience a few days ago that the way to show disapproval of a play was for the persons who occupied the orchestra seats to hiss, he did not know what a tempest in a tea-pot he was raising. New York theatrical managers do not entertain similar ideas as Prof. Baker on the subject. George Tyler, of Liebler and Tyler, thinks the Bostonian's remarks were idiotic while Oscar Hammerstein contends that hissing is creating a disturbance and that whoever makes a disturbance in a theatre may be arrested. According to Mr. Hammerstein, if people do not like a show they can get up and leave the theatre. Charles Durham, President of the Association of Theatre Managers, expresses himself as follows: "The American audience is too fair to hiss. That sort of thing doesn't go over here. The American public doesn't . . . . . . show its disappointment if I doubt if it is your will. But I promise from the start you must good. Just as anyone a good manager wants to have a play he will start organizing hires, hires the newspapers tell about it and the record will come to see what's being hired. Of course an audience is supposed to have the right to applaud or hien, but when the hiening is obnominous to paternal in the theatre the person or person who do the hiening become a science and the manager of the theatre has a right to eject the trouble makers. Prof. Baker is wrong on one thing. Hiring never came from the gallery. They don't hire in the gallery. They're up there to be answered, not to hien—make it is the villain." ABOUT CHRISTMAS NUMBER. "Allow me to congratulate you on your Christmas number of The Am. It is fine. The best yet."—B. H. Dudley. "I have had the pleasure of seeing your Christmas number and I desire to congratulate you upon its excellence."—S. Tutt Whitney. Having read the article entitled "The Ethiopian" in The Age of January 4, the thought came to me that it was possible to create a native of Africa be called Africander. Such being the case then a native of America born of black or colored parents is an Amerander. The theatre to be erected by the Johnson Amusement Company will be built by natives of America born of black or colored parents, who for the lack of a proper name are known as groves, etc., the directors should decide on some appropriate name and demand that they be called by it. As a native of Africa born of white parents, I should be called for the theatre by the Amerander. WANTS HOUSE NAMED PRENIER. I suggest that the best and most appropriate name for the new theatre to be built by the Johnson Amusement Company is as follows: The word premier means the first or chief. The name Premier is easy to remember and is only one word. As the new theatre is up-to-date managed and controlled by colored people in America, it will rank as the first or chief, the name premier signifies that. In choosing the name theatre that is not common to theatre-recorders and is above the average name given to a theatre and will make it stand out and above the many other names that is in and around greater New York. Hoping that you and the board of directors of the Johnson Amusement Company will consider the name as an appropriate one for the new theatre. I am sending in a name which I hope will help you to decide a name for the new Haglen playhouse. 'I think the Proper Theatre would be fitting and my reasons are as follows. First, because it will be second, that it is close to mature; third, it is simple and yet broad as the earth; fourth, a word that should be kept before our race by night as well as by day; fifth, because by night it by day, they will be compelled to use the proper, which many care make: hard hearts soft, as well as make hard roads easy; sixth, because it is a new birth in Negro theatrical world and a change in the way of life, which follows and under this roof they will share prosperity of the intelligent of thousand and hundred of thousands of the race; seventh, because it's a name for every Negro child and taught to love the very said of proper among his brother; eighth, and last, with the present men behind the project the theatre must pro A Review of the 1911 Football Season. E. R. Henderson, physical director of the Colored High Schools of Washington, D. C., reviews the football season of 1911 for The Age and picks the colored college all-star team. The all-star team selected by Mr. Henderson is as follows: L. E.—Oliver ... Howard L. E.—Oliver ... Hampton L. G.—Johns ... Shaw C. Warmart ... Hampton R. G.—Chelan ... Howard R. T.—Goss ... Lincoln R. E.—Scott ... Hampton Q. R.—Collins ... Lincoln H. F.—Collins ... Lincoln R. H.—Gray, Capt. ... Howard F. R.—Brown ... Shaw With Lincoln University battling to n tie and Hampton registering a victory over Shaw by a meagre two points, the Middle Atlantic States football season closed in a blaze of glory. Howard University, a three-time champion, still retains her hold on the honor which was somewhat bedded by the splendid showing, of the Quaker eleven on Thanksgiving Day in Washington: Hampton entered the arena in true collegiate form this year and after losing a hard fight to Howard, annexed victories over Lincoln and Shaw. Lincoln lost to Hampton in a game which normal luck would have captured to result otherwise, but this fact should not take the credit from Hampton, who played a steady and consistent defensive game. The Pennsylvania school deserves unstated praise for her work on Thanksgiving. Day, when she played a game where previous games indicated a victory on this occasion. Shaw University displayed rare form throughout the season. She host her first game in the season, and anyone of them might have had a different turn with moderate back. ABOUT CHRISTMAS NUMBER. Youra truly C. W. PDWARDS, Lewis, Mam IN THE WORLD OF SPORT presentation and by the effort all occurrences of our activities are accounted in all of the issues but the most important is the General Board on Official Manuscript in G. W. Williams, M. P. Holstman, A. K. Shriver and R. B. Henson, who are the directors of this board composed of college representatives. Unfortunately many of our newspapers in most cases do not convey athletics move to their readers with any thing like the effort put forth to get full and accurate accounts by the daily papers of our cities. This lack of information, interesting and beneficial features to be found in connection with sports. There are not many men who have seen all of the games of the football season and fewer are capable of expert judgment in connection therewith. Have newspaper accounts detailing play-by-play games, estimating the style, character and results of systems of coaching and play. The value of players could be more accurately assessed and the selection of an all-star team would be a far more accurate team. If we were asked to choose a big four team to do a departmental on the relative performance of the players of the big four and have asked the opinions of other competent critics on their selections. From the lists of star performers with four or more goals picked as chosen which would most likely be the best eleven that could represent the game in this section, taking the men that have been selected the majority of times. It is hoped that the annual selection of an all-star team would be the part of players to do consistent and effective work. Silent and clean, but reliable and strong. Cieland of Howard met the approval of all with but a single exception. Johns of Shaw in the Hampshire bobble and cough and spilled plays in the making. His humbler marks the closeness with which he follows plays. Just a shade of opinion favors Warner of Hampton for the pivotal line position. Thompkins of Lincoln loses but, one vote. No center was an advantage since Howard was in the past three years. In the backfield Gray of Howard was placed by all. Pollard of Lincoln and Brown of Shaw complete the trio. Pollard with this eleven would be able to reel of end circling gains and on the defensive would stop progress. Gray with this eleven would be able to logical captain of the eleven. In no function of his position as halfback in the weak. In need of a line plunger, these two halfbacks could well rely on Captain Brown of Shaw to rip through the opponent's forwards for distance. As a reserve hunter on blue he would be fully the equal of any. Over and above all, Collins of Lincoln is the keystone to the arch. Outpunting his rivals and showing superb city skills, Collins was the star in his position. Brice of Howard did well at Hampton, but underestimated Collins as a punter and lost much for Howard in the Lincoln city. Other players to be mentioned by more than one for first honors are: Durrish, Slaughter, Forbes, Brice and Riley. Howard,umpkins, Midtette and Bulldog of Lincoln, and Morris and Rogers of Shaw. Admita Black Boxers Are Best H. C. B. Fry, publisher of the new Fry's Magazine, London, England, thinks that the Negro is constitutionally a better scraper than the Caucasian, and says: We in England have no anti-colour feeling, and we do not excite ourselves much about Jack Johnson having beaten J. J. Jeffries in America, and as to the more recent boxing event at home we do not take sentiments alder over Langford's defeat But as a nation we recently rediscovered our intent and deep-rooted interest in the ring—which I for my part, consider a whole some interest—and we do not much like not having a man who is either champion of the world or theremouss of our own blood, I mean a white man. I did not see the Langford-Lang fight, but I have met dozens of men who did, and they saw an exhibition of eminent superiority on the part of the colored man. One of them came with the wetsuit and it is all U-P with the white man against the colored man in boxing. He tells me that he made up his mind (and he has seen much fightine) that the black man has it over the white man in two hands in intimate, quickness, of course, means hitting power, not only in frequency, but in force, for speed in a main component in the force of a blow, and nervous insensibility means natural capacity for not being affected by punishment. He has not hit harder than his opponent, and be less affected by the blow he receives must in general be the winner. Few people recognize what quickness in athletics means, and that in many forms of athletics it is what they miscall strength. This is particularly noticeable in cricket.

The affair deserves the support of every man or woman who stands for progress and higher womanhood. There is a great need for immediate action in establishing a home for girls under sixteen who have been convicted of a crime. Brooklyn. A home where these girls can spend their probationary period in a clean and elevating atmosphere and where if they prefer, they may remain until they are of age and learn to be useful women.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. The short it is, the shortest that will have to do is apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but so last from six to eight months. Water not nothing else will make it kink again after it has been combing. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelous does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own open. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world that can do a good of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound it is perfectly harmless and will not injure skin; it will not harm teeth; positively removes hardwaste promotes a lubricant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is mild under a pearl sauce and is safe to eat. Money refunded.
