Tyler Tells What Mr. Taft Has Done for Colored Voters Twenty-nine Colored Officials Drawing Salaries Amounting to $89,400 Yearly FAVORS NEGRO EDUCATION Taft's Record Published in answer to Letter Written by a Former Member of 24th Infantry. Special to THE NEW YORK ACR. Ottawa, Ill., Jan. 16—George A. Green of this city, late of the 24th Infantry, U. S. A., recently wrote President Taft, asking what appointments, if any, he had made, what appointees he had retained, and what, if any, was his responsibilities for the discharge of the members of the 25th Infantry. In his letter Mr. Green assured the President that he was a strong Taft man, but wanted the information he had asked for so that if questioned why he favored the President he would be fortified with facts. Mr. Green's letter was referred to Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, for reply. Mr. Green has received a letter from Mr. Tyler, under date of January 9, in which the record of President Taft, in the matter of making and retaining colored appointees is given, and which shows that the President has been deeply indebted to the Navy's right to hold office. Mr. Tyler's reply to the Green letter is here given: "Under date of January 5, you wrote the President making certain inquiries relative to colored appointments he has made, colored appointees he has retained, and as to his responsibility for the discharge of the members of the 25th Regiment, U. S. Infantry. The letter has been referred to me for a reply thereto, and I take pleasure in giving you the information you desire. President Taft has made the following colored appointments: "S. Laing Williams, of your city, who, holding over from the last administration as special assistant U. S. district attorney, in charge of naturalization, was appointed a regular assistant U. S. district attorney. Congress failing to appropriate for the continuation of special assistants in charge of naturalization, Mr. Williams would have been dropped had not the President, desiring that the race have as nearly equitable representation as possible, promptly had Mr. Williams appointed a regular assistant U. S. district attorney at $2,000 per annum. "William H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., also a special assistant in charge of also a special assistant in charge of Congress to appropriate for such positions, was likewise appointed, at the President's direction, regular assistant U.S. district attorney, at $2,500. Later, as you are aware, President Taft appointed Mr. Lewis assistant attorney general, at $5,000 per annum, the highest place in the judiciary to which a Negro has attained in this or any other country, whose population is not exclusively a Negro population. Upon the resignation of John C. Dancy, who had been recorder of deeds for eight years previous, H. L. Johnson, of Georgia, was appointed to succeed him, at $4,000 per annum. "Upon the resignation of W. T. Vernon, as register of the treasury, to return to the educational field, the President appointed J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, to the place, his salary being $4,000 per annum. A Temporary Position of Great Honor "Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee, was appointed one of the three commissioners to Liberia, to report upon the internal conditions and needs of that black republic. This was a position, though while temporary, of great honor, and requiring men of a very high order of intelligence, and adaptability, and the selection of Mr. Scott evidenced the President's confidence in colored men to fill any position. "The President, upon executive order, appointed James M. Alexander, cashier to the collector of internal revenue at Los Angeles, Cal. This position is under civil service, but the President, who has refrained, more than any previous executive from making appointments to the civil service branch upon executive order, made this appointment, because of the special qualifications Mr. Alexander possessed for the position, and because, as he stated in the order making the appointment, the colored people of California had not adequate representation in the Government service. "At his direction, Capt. W. T. Anderson, chaplain for the 10th Cavalry, was promoted to the rank of major. Chaplain Anderson has since been retired, upon his town request, at a salary of $2,700 per annum for the remainder of his life. Among the Recent Appointments. "Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, was appointed collector of customs for Honolulu, at a maximum salary of $4,000 per annum. "Whitefield McKinley was appointed collector of customs for this district, at a maximum salary of $5,000 per annum. These two positions, together with the position to which Mr. Lewis was appointed, are new positions opened to the race, no colored man having previously held either of these offices. "The President appointed Dr. Crum, of South Carolina, minister to Liberia, at $2,000, and William Bundy, of Ohio, secretary of the Legation there; at $2,000. "Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback was appointed at the President's direction to a position in the Internal Revenue Service, at New York, at $10 per day, and later covered in under the civil service, making his position permanent. "W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, was appointed at the President's direction supervisor of Indian and Negro schools, in Oklahoma. "W. D. Johnson, of Kentucky, was appointed at the President's direction to a position in the Agricultural Department. Some Officials Retained. "Among the colored officials in the service at the time of his inauguration, President Taft has retained R. H. Terrell, judge of the Municipal Court in Washington, D. C., at $2,500; James A. Cobb, special assistant district attorney for this city, at $2,000; Ralph W. Tylier, of Ohio, auditor for the Navy, at $4,000; Cyrus Field Adams, of Chicago, assistant register of the Treasury, at $2,500; Charles W. Anderson, internal revenue collector at New York, at $4,500 per annum; Nathan Alexander, register of the Land Office at Montgomery, Ala., at $1,500; Robert Smalls, collector of customs at Beaumont, S. C., at $1,200; Joseph E. Lee, internal revenue collector at Jacksonville, Fla., at $4,500; Dr. Henry W. Furniss, minister to Haiti, at $10,000 per annum. Also the eight colored men who are in the Consular Service have been retained by the President. "The above enumerated positions represent an aggregate of twenty-nine Negro officials appointed or retained by President Taft, whose salaries total $99,400 per annum. Taft's Connection with Soldier Case. to President Taft's connection with the dismissal of the country is perfectly familiar with the fact that he, as secretary of war, held up the former President's order, directing the dismissal, in an effort to have it modified. It is hardly necessary to go into any details to prove that President Taft was in no wise responsible for the dismissal of the troops. Only such Negroes who will not be convinced, or who hold to the opinion that he was responsible for their discharge because of their sinister desire to keep open a wound upon which they hope to realize cash given by the enemy, will hold President Taft in any way responsible for the dismissal of the Brownsville soldiers. "In addition to all of the above I would also call attention to the interest he has manifested for equal educational opportunities for the race everywhere, and which bespeaks his deep and helpful interest in us as a race. The man who strives to do the greatest good for the greatest number, is the man who is the best and truest friend, and such a friend President Taft has shown himself to be. You do yourself credit by being a Taft man 'first, last and all the time,' as you 'say you are, and the above irrefutable statement of facts constitutes a strong argument to continue as a well wisher of President Taft." HAS RIGHT TO SEAT Louisiana Supreme Court Knocks Out Usual Interpretation of "Jim Crow" Legal Argument in Seat In White Compartment If There Is No Seat in Negro Section. special to THE NEW YORK AGE NEW ORLEANS, LA., Jan. 16—The Supreme Court of Louisiana, in a decision handed down Monday, held that a Negro has a vested right to a seat in a street car, despite the "Jim Crow" law in effect in New Orleans and other Louisiana cities, and that he cannot be moved from a seat in the white compartment of a car, provided there is no seat in the Negro section. The appeal was that of John Anderson against the New Orleans Railways and Light Company. The court affirms the verdict of damages awarded Anderson and increases the amount from $50 to $250. The partitions on the street cars here are movable. The opinion holds that a conductor has a right to move the partitions, but continues: "Where a passenger has found a seat in the compartment assigned to his race the officer has no right by moving the partition to put him in the wrong compartment when there is no seat to be found in the compartment thus newly established for his race." A number of other cases based upon the "Jim Crow" law now are pending in the courts. ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Social to Two New York Are MACON, GA, Jan. 16. — The trustees of the Morris Brown University, of Atlanta, have purchased 632 acres of land in East Macon for $25,000 and have announced that a Negro industrial school of large proportions will be established here at an early date. The land purchased includes, a fine farming tract, which it is intending to make remunerative, although worked by pupils of the school. Mead of Negro State Teachers' Association of Missouri Tells of Convention at Hannibal. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 16.—President B. F. Allen of Lincoln Institute, who was elected head of the Negro State Teachers' Association of Missouri last November, declares that the majority of teachers of the association favored his election and that it was impossible for anyone to defeat him. Prof. Allen things the article which appeared in a recent issue of The Act telling of the ill-feeling existing between some of the members of the association, was published at the instance of one of the unregistered members, who resided in Kansas City. The following statement has been issued by-President Allen: "My attention has been called to the article in a recent issue of The Act with reference to the action of the State Teachers' Association at its meeting in Hannibal, Mo., November 9 last, in electing me its president for the ensuing year. If the author was not a coward, he would sign his name and let us know who he is." "The article in question was dated from St. Louis, but I am under the impression that it originated from Kansas City, and I am prepared at any time to say who I believe caused it to be published and what inspired it. It is the rule of my professional life never to reply to newspaper attacks and enter into a controversy with those who like such notoriety and who would not otherwise be seen or heard, but the article is evidently so malicious that truthful that I am compelled in justice to myself and my many friends throughout the country to bend my rule once. Had, All But One on Nominating Had All but One on Nominating Committees. "The Committee on nominations of the Negro State Teachers' Association was composed of seven members. Six voted for me and one voted for the man of his choice. I did not regard that as anything unusual nor did I consider it an unfriendly act; for the man who did not vote for me was almost a stranger to me and had never given the association much of his time and influence. However, when he gave his minority report, the association would not receive it. My election, therefore, was unanimous, and the body of teachers went away feeling that the association was in good hands and that they had a right to expect better things for it for the future. "I have been a member in good standing of the association for years and had the right to seek any office within the gift of the association. My moral record is all that one could desire. My professions' record of eighteen years, ten years of which I have been president of Lincoln Institute, has met the unqualified endorsement of those who have had the right to employ me; so what reason would any intelligent people have for opposing me? I have been elected president of this school for the past ten years, and I was not president of the State Teachers' Association either. At times I have been bitterly opposed by the unqualified element which you will find in any State. But that has never moved me. Now that my work has entered upon an end of good feeling and everything is in a prosperous condition, I do not see why it was necessary to seek the presidency of the State Teachers' Association in order to be retained in my present position. "Missouri is a great State. It has a fine school system, and it has a great many competent, sensible colored teachers. The majority of them are graduates of Lincoln Institute. With this force behind me, it was impossible for anyone to defeat me in the November election of the State Teachers' Association. Mississippi, Ala., Jan. 14. "The fact that Mississippi has a greater proportion of her population of the Negro race has been a subject of considerable comment by some of the other states of the nation," says the Mobile Register, "but when it is known that Mississippi is putting forth a greater effort to educate her colored people than any other state in the union, and with remarkable success, it is a subject of still more considerable comment." "The last census showed that Mississippi has a total population of 1,797,114, and that of this number 1,099,487 are Negroes, besides there are more than 1,000 not classified. At-first these figures are marbling when it is seen that there have grown many more Negroes in the state than whites, but it will be remembered that the Negro of Mississippi is many degrees in intelligence and civilization ahead of his brother in Africa and that the white citizenry of Mississippi is making an effort to raise the status of the Mississippi colored man. She has succeeded in doing this to such a great extent that now numbered among the leading farmers and business men of the state are some colored people. "One Negro came to Meridian eight years ago with a capital of $3, and to-day he is said to be worth at least $30,000 in real estate and personal property. "A fair illustration of what is being done for the Negroes of Mississippi is the work being done in this county of Landerdale and in Meridian. Few people know that there is being taught in every public school for colored people in Landerdale County all of the branches of manual training as taught in the leading schools of the country. In the eight grades of school the colored pupils are required to take a manual training course from early childhood up and the results are wonderful, so declare the superintendents of education and others connected with the work of the colored schools. Among the branches taught are sewing, cooking, basketry, drawing, carpentry, school gardening and beautifying school grounds, laundrying, preserving, fancy work, making models of farm implements, millinery, cunning, wood and iron work, etc. There is a great deal of interest and pride being taken in the work by the Negro children who attive the public schools.

Church School Minute of Short Duration FUNERAL HELD TUESDAY Hundreds of Services, Which Were Attended by Bishop and Ministers From Every Section. ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 16.—Ministers of the A. M. E. Church from every section of the country were present at the funeral of the late Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, who died suddenly last Friday evening at his home, 360 Houston street. Many were unable to get into Big Bethel Church while services were being held. Conspicuous at the funeral were the THE LATE BISHOP WESLEY J. GAINES Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and all of the church officers, many of whom had traveled hundreds of miles to pay their last respects to their colleague. Bishop Gaines died of acute indigestion. About a year ago he suffered from a severe attack of grip, from which he never fully recovered. However, the immediate illness that caused his death was a short one. Bishop Wesley J. Gaines was the sixteenth bishop of the A. M. E. Church, and from a standpoint of seniority ranked next to Bishop Turner. He was made a bishop in May, 1888, and at his death was in charge of the First Episcopal Districta, comprising the New York, New Jersey, New England and Philadelphia conferences. The deceased was one of the wealthiest bishops of the A. M. E. Church and for years had the finest residence of any Margo in Atlanta. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. J. A. Gaines, and a daughter, Miss Mary Gaines. VOCATIS RACE FAITH Prof. Joseph L. Wiley of Fessenden, Fla., Principal Speaker at Emancipation Celebration Held at Talahasen. Special to the New York Times. Of many Emancipation celebrations throughout Florida, none occasioned more enthusiasm than the exercise held before the faculty and students of the State College, at which Prof. Joseph L. Wiley of Fessenden, Fla., made the principal address. "The meaning of this day is common and inspiring to every American citizen. It commemorates not only the bondage and burdens of four million people, but the life, liberty and prosperity of twelve million people unique, in the life of nations, because of its ability to pass through troubled times and all the time to come out, surviving and refined by the fires of war. The people we remember and less we forget as a government that 'Right is right since God is right, and right the day will win.' "It is needed to call attention to the self-evident truths upon which just government is based. It is needed to point men to the pinnacles of the great American house of liberty which has been built in theory and is graduated being realized in practice, needed to realize the unplanned underlying principle of our happiness, and the preserving force of the Republic. The truths, which the celebration calls to mind, if practiced, will preserve the country in times of political storm and rebellion, from within, or assault and invasion from without. It is as broad as the nation and brings again the power of Washington, beating and winning, oppression and Lincoln, the great apostle of human liberty, with his glorious pen, writing this land as the home of the brave, and free as well. "We speak to-day not only to felicitate with you, but to congratulate you on your triumphant march from chattel to citizens. You have met and not been defeated by them, unkindness, cruel cruel, unholy custom, enforced ignorance and unfairness at divers times and in divers places. With right and God on your side you cannot fall in your effort to reach in this mature attitude of the man who is really free. "We congratulate you, especially, today, because you are changing ignorance for intelligence, poverty for wealth, cabins for decent homes. You are to be congratulated upon the large number of banks, the mercantile institutions, churches, schools, newspapers and increase in numbers. Your love for land and liberty seems to be coextensive. You have now more land than at any time in your previous history in America. You are to be congratulated on your scholars and workmen of your college and their products that find more and more the employment for which they have been so carefully prepared. You are to be congratulated on the era of homemaking and land-getting, which you have inaugurated. Whose Crime Was It? "It is fitting that we retrospect a little on these occasions to see how and whence the race came. If it were a crime to enthrall the Negro, then the crime was that of the nation, and the nation is due to see that proper institution should be established this nation to see that all the disadvantages of an enforced servitude be removed and that every man be accorded his natural and constitutional privileges. Our democratic declarations to the world warrant such treatment to one section own such inattention to another. All sections alike should study and eat the truth in matters including the If you happen to be less in the vicinity of the room, Lexon avenue and you are obviously by men and women at you pass by, do not threaten them alarmed and contemptible.

Pan the when the warm-weather shelter required at one of the vessels flying between New York and Cuba they were allowed to locate Freeman and were told that directions had been given to take them aboard. There was quite a gathering of many Negroes in Harlem Thursday evening and while many of their friends were inclined to regard the incident loosely those who had been beaten out of their money were unable to see where the fun came in. One of the waiters in speaking of the affair to an ACE representative, said: "There is nothing funny about the boy getting swindled. Then, besides, little of the men and women were so going to Cuba that they disposed of furs and heavy clothes and bought clothing fit for summer wear. We had to turn back and brave this cold weather in thin clothes, and at a time when it is the coldest spell New York has had for years. That fellow Freeman was wise guy, all right, but if we ever could him he will be unlucky if his will is not already made. The next patio who says Cuba and warm weather to me will certainly be in hard back." Up to Wednesday many of Freemasons victims had been unable to get work and were going about in summer action. RIDICULE BLEASE Legislators Refuse to Consider My Message Seriously and Have Mind of It Expunged from the Reasonable Language Used by Executive Objected To. Special to The New York Acm. COLUMBUS, S.

"Political preferment as a reward for scholarship is not to be compared to what that same scholarship may win in the commercial world. The halls of congress have neverberated for scholarship, and the state statements as Hon. John M. Laurance Blance K. Bruce, John R.

As long as the Negro is appointed a worthy citizen and is an indispensable factor in the development of protection of the country, and is willing to learn more and more to respect the rights of white people in politics, and on things in the course of time will come to him.

Twelve million people make a mighty host and they are a great part of this republic. They are here to stay. It is not feasible to deport the Negro. He does not want to be deceived. He does not make any effort worthy of the name to us. Being free to go and come as he pleases, if he desired to leave, he would probably do so. The deportation idea is now unreasonable and impractical. In population the Negro race is as great as the combined population of the United States and the Netherlands, twice as great as the Netherlands and three times as great as Switzerland. It equals the combined population of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. It is twice that of Belgium and also twice that of Portugal. It equals the population of Ireland, Wales and Scotland. It equals the combined population of Ecuador, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Venezuela and Bolivia. These are twice as many Negroes in the United States as there are pedalion of Central America, twice the population of West Indies, and almost equal to the population of the republic of Brazil.

C., Jan. 17.—The teachers of the schools of Washington have had it brought to their attention that the Democratic House of Representatives is camping on their trail. The Board of Education not long ago made specific recommendations to the Commissioners of the District as to the amount which they required for the administration of the educational system during 1912-13. This amount was pinned down to a minimum of $378,000 for salaries and sent to Congress for its approval. In the House of Representatives this item was cut to $300,000 and sent forward to the Senate. It is now up to the Republican Senate to restore the $78,000 taken off by the House. Otherwise it, is said that the entire force of teachers must suffer a pro rata decrease in salaries for the year in question, the same decrease affecting their longevity. To say that the House has started a hornbiter's nest might be putting it mildly. There are those, however, who believe that the action on the part of the House committee in question leading to further changes in the organization and administration of the educational system. There were damified from the temporary roster in the Census Office last week during the bitter cold spell more than a thousand colored and white employees, and a temporary, three hundred were subjected to remain in the service, about one-third of them to become permanent later. A large number of young colored men who came to the capital a few years ago were to the failure of Congress to make a sufficient appropriation for the completion of the Census work. Of the three hundred employees remaining, practically all, were in a certain branch, including only six colored men, which is considered a small percentage. The fortunate colored employees are Messrs. Smith, Nosworthy, Roberts, Lyman and Puge. It is thought that they will be employed of the Census Department. The Winogradskis meeting of the Intramural Chess Club held at the residence of Prof. Alonzo Brown last Thursday evening.

This is the case in Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria and Ecuador.

President Taft should take to heart the statement of C.A. H. Williams, National Democratic Committeeman for Mississippi and brother of the only Senator from Sharp Williams, that "The South has no Progressive Democrats or conservative Democrats! It knows only Democrats." There you are. There are several Negro shoe-black-guards in New York that cater to Negro trade, and they do a living business. There should be more of them.

By commending to serve as a member of the James Fund Board President Taft showed that he is not only interested in the Negro people and the educational work among them, but that he is ready and willing to give of his splendid abilities, and of his crowded time, and to lend the prestige of his exalted position as President of the United States, to the interests of the Negro people and the development of educational work among them. A man can give no better evidence of friendship for a people than to identify himself with work intended to promote their best and highest interests. 2. In urging upon Congress the authorization of a commission to proceed to and investigate affairs in the Republic of Liberia, to the end that the Government of the United States might lend that Republic its good offices in settling it, boundary disputes and in liquidating its public debt, and in successfully accomplishing these high results, President Taft displayed a high degree of interest in the American Negro and his welfare by assisting to preserve and strengthen the national life of a people who are brothers to the American Negro. If the good offices of President Taft had not been extended to the Republic of Liberia at the time and in the manner that they were, it is highly probable that the Liberian Republic would have been taken over ultimately by Great Britain and France, with the unliquidated public debt, for British excuse on the one hand and French territorial compensation on the other, the European theory of African ex-appropriation being that if one power gets a foot of land in a given sphere of influence the other powers in the zone must also have a foot. It must not be overlooked that the Negro people have no representative in the National Senate or House of Representatives or the National Committee of either party, and, therefore, has no one, officially authorized, with organized power behind him, to urge upon the President and other appointing powers the appointment of Negroes to federal offices and promotion of those already in the service, but that President Taft has, nevertheless, given the Negroes many representative positions. "A NEGRO MONOPOLY." Tikh. All confesses itself unable to endorse the more or less harsh manner in which the Houston, Tex., Post discusses the matter of domestic service in its New Year's edition of January 1, but, nevertheless, it finds itself in complete agreement with the fundamental sentiments of that editorial expression. We believe that the Negroes of the South have a great monopoly in the domain of domestic service. We believe that they should hold on to this monopoly, extend it if possible, and give to those whom they serve the maximum of intelligent, skilled returns for wages expected. We believe that the service should be made so valuable that the maximum of wages may be demanded. --- The National Democratic Committee met at Washington on Tuesday of last week, and there was a great outpouring of the uninterrupted. Mr. Bryan had a proxy in the committee, but was whipped to a standstill on every proposition he contended for, and left the city before the committee concluded its work. It looks as if he had lost his grip upon the Democratic machine, which he has dominated since 1890. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey appears for the moment to be the Democratic inspiration and hope. As a Democratic hope we believe he will be more of a failure than Mr. Bryan, who has led himself to fame and fortune, while leading the Democratic party to disreputation and defeat, for sixteen years. --- As a ready letter writer Governor Woodrow Wilson did not follow King Solomon's advice and allow his enemy to do it; so that now, like Henry Clay, whose letter on the slavery question tangled him with the Slave Power, and James Gillepoe Blaine, whose letters to "dear Fisher" and others, tangled him up with himself, Gov. Wilson's letter to the Carnegie Foundation asking for a pension, and his letter to Joline wishing Bryan "knocked into a cocked hat," now rise up in the judgment and challenge his aspiration to lead the Democratic party White Houseward this year. "Oh, that mine would write a book" can safely be amended to include letters but the invocation is like a Damascus blade with two edges and cuts going and coming. The way to the White House is a long way and as crooked as a ram's horn. Missionary of the Continental Conference of the West African Conference, embracing Stierra Leone, Liberia and the Gold Coast, Messrs J. P. Richards, D. D., and J. F. Gerber, in which they ask the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Conference to elect for them a bishop of their own, and name Rev. H. M. Steady, D. D., P. E., as a proper person. They say of Dr. Steady: Rev. H. M. Steady, D. D., P. E., who has been a delegate to three successive General Conference, and is also a delegate to the General Conference of 1812, is of long standing in the A. M. E. Church, and is one of those men whom the fair-play loving American delight to honor—a self-made man. As a minister he is zealous and energetic. As a Presiding Rider he has infused his spirit of activity into the work and made possible the A. M. E. Church in Sierra Leone as it is to day. Bishop W. H. Heard has charge of that Conference, but he has not been able to reside within the Conference district for any length of time, and is in the United States at this time, because of poor health, due to the West African climate, which affects disastrously all Europeans and Americans who remain long in the country. The Conference secretaries say that much of the African situation, and the following of Bishop heard: In 1908 our hearts were made to rejoice when it became known that a resident Bishop in the person of Rt. Rev. W. H. Heard, D. H., had been elected for the West African work. The dear Bishop came out Inbued with much real hope for the development of the Conferences. But the effects of the climate soon began to toll on his health until, on the urgent advice and recommendation of his physician, he was per force compelled to return home. The Conference was established in 1891 by Bishop H. M. Turner, who has presided over it three times. Bishop Abram Grant, Bishop C. T. Shaffer and Bishop Charles Spencer Smith have also presided over the Conference; but, it is pointed out and emphasized, none of those bishops have resided in the Conference district, and have only paid them Episcopal visits. The West African Conference don't think this is sufficient, they think they should have a bishop of their own number, who can stand the climate and who understands the country and the needs of the people and will reside among them. Dr. Steady seems to be the man needed to direct the work, as bishop, as he has done so much as a minister to build it up. The church in West Africa is now twenty years old, and should on that account alone be entrusted to a bishop of its own selection. We dare say the venerable Bishop Turner will be among the first in the General Conference of 1912 to see the justice and urge the wisdom of giving the petition of the West African churches favorable consideration. Such favorable action should do more than anything else to spread the Methodist gospel work among the natives. The principle of clearing bishops from the districts in which they reside, and to preside over the districts from which they are elected, and in which they should be compelled to reside, is one which should not only be applied to Africa but to the United States as well. How, for instance, can a bishop who resides in Atlanta do the work of a bishop of New York? It has not been properly and effectively done in the past and will not be in the future. "Nothing but death can keep me out of the fight now" exclaims President Tatt. "I will not be interviewed—I have nothing to say" exclaims Col. Roosevelt. "Don't forget me—I am I the Progressive" wails Senator La Folette. "I am coming" grunts the dark unknown. And that is the sound of confusion the political buzz-saw is grinding out, as the editor hears it, the sort of music that will vibrate through the nation' until the convention drowns it in midsummer days, in June, by the blue waters of Lake Michigan. --- Senator La Follette had a freezing poisoning, discouraging Presidential speech-making trip in the West last week; but he says that despite the freezing weather, poisoned oysters and desertion of the Roosevelt Progressives he will continue to pursue the Presidential nomination phantom until the Republican Convention meets, June 18, and he or some other chaperon captures the Illusion. We think Senator La Follette could have just as much fun and vastly more comfort by remaining in Washington and attending to his business as Senator. Funny how a great many people neglect the business they are selected and paid to look after and insist upon looking after some other business for which they are not selected and paid. Politicians and preachers do more of this sort of thing than any other class of servants. There should be laws to compel them to earn their salaries. Gov. Wilton of New Jersey is another Presidential nomination chaser. He spends more time going in the direction of the White House in Washington, where President Taft holds down the job, than in going in the direction of the State House, in Trenton, where Gov. Wilson should fold down the job. In reorganizing the force of the House of Representatives, the Democratic majority weeded out all of the Negro employees. In the case of Negro Republicans, when the Republicans control the House, those in service usually remain and are promoted with the years, so that some of them become experts in the places they serve. But service counts for nothing with Democrats, unless the servant is a Democrat. We should remain silent if the displaced Negro Republicans were replaced by Negro Democrats; but they seldom are. White Democrats of the South have no patience with a Negro in a position not of his making, and therefore his own, above that of porter or messenger. The white Democrats of the South are a sore trial to the black Democrats of the North and West. There is open, pronounced enmity between them, upon the rank vindictiveness of which campaign promises write no truth, no lard for cabbage, no molasses for bread, no beef for biscuit, just campaign promises made of ropes of sand, brittle, and easy to be blown away when the whirlwinds of campaign oratory sigh themselves to death in the cold, unfeeling ballot boxes. Every man should have a reason for the faith that is in him, but the leaders of the national Democratic party have persistently refused to furnish the Negroes who vote for their party and policies any such reason. President Grover Cleveland was unable to coax the leaders of his party; in the Senate to furnish the reason, and had to depend upon Republican Senators for confirmation of his Negro appointments; and this gave him so much trouble in his first term that he quite abandoned it altogether in his second term. We do not expect any good thing, except the life of it, to come out of the Democratic party. It has been the stormy petral of American politics since Thomas Jefferson laid the foundations of it in the theories of quicksand, and James Buchanan blasted it on the rock of stubborn slave-insolence facts. The Democratic party just "ain't" any place for a Negro. EATING UP AFRICA Europeans are losing no time in taking over whatever is good to possess in Africa. Talking about Northern Nigeria, the New York Sun says: Another large region in tropical Africa has just been declared to be well adapted for settlement by European farmers. In the centre of northern Nigeria, a British protectorate more than four times as large as the State of New York, are the Bauchi highlands, on whose banks most of the drainage of the protectorate has its sources. It was the last part of northern Nigeria to be explored because the large native population was wild and hostile. The British did not enter these highlands till about five years ago, and then only when they had reason to believe, from one, which the natives brought out, that the region was in tin; the British then fought their way in and subdued the blacks, thousands of whom are now supplying vegetable food for the whites and working in the mines. It has been proved that the Bauchi region is one of the richest sources of tin, in the world. The death rate among the whites is only 20 in 1,000. The altitude is 3,000 to 4,000 feet above sea level, and the land is very fertile, with plenty of cattle and fowl. The nights are quite cold. It is situated at 600 miles north of the equator, in the latitude of Costa Rica. He says further: "Wetlement by white farmers is not yet invited because the transportation difficulties are still formidable. Before very long the wetlands from the Bay Area will be extended to this plateau and it is expected that white farmers as well as miners will be welcome if they have some capital and the qualifications for pioneering in a new country. Up to this time six large, high districts in tropical Africa have been declared to be fitted by temperature and fertility to be the homes of selected European prairies. Four are now open to settlement. As we have said in The Age, the French are the only European who are disposed in their colonial policy to give the native Africans a square deal." The National Democratic party, will hold its National Convention in Baltimore June 15, three days before the National Republican Convention meets in Chicago. The Democrats are so sure of winning the Presidential election that they do not hesitate to force the fighting. But pride goes often right in front of a fall. For our part, we do not see any Democratic victory in the air, and shall refuse to see any until the ballots are cast and counted that way. We are no calamity howler or seeker; we don't think any good thing can come out of Democracy, or that very few go into it. We take no stock in the Democratic party. But Baltimore has ceased to be a rock-ribbed Democratic stronghold. It would have been more politic and courageous to have selected Richmond as the place, and all the more so as the National Democratic party is dominated by the Southern Democratic wing of it. many of the members of the Alabama State Republican Committee met January 11 and fired March 7 as the date for the holding of the State convention to elect six delegates and six alternates to the National Convention. The sentiment of the State committee was pronounced in favor of the nomination of President Taft to succeed himself; and while this fact naturally indicates that the delegates elected to the State convention will be like-minded, other candidates who desire the nomination have already put their agents at work in the State, and will make those favorable to President Taft fight for every delegate to the State convention that they get. President Taft has not made a spectacular President. He has not set the Nation agape with new theories not specified in the last platform of the party, the law for the President and all Republicans until another platform has been adopted by the National Convention. But he has shown a high capacity for administering the public affairs at home and for protecting the National interests abroad. As a man learned in the law, who has filled the high office of judge, he has brought to the consideration of all questions the learning of the lawyer and the deliberation of the judge. If there has been business upheaval during his administration it has been caused by an effort to enforce the laws rather than by seeking to evade the enforcement of them. If laws are bad they should be repealed; until they are repealed those who are elected and sworn to enforce them should be commended and rewarded for enforcing, rather than for evading, the enforcement of them. President Taft deserves to succeed himself; he deserves a second term. He deserves it on the record of his administration during the past three years, the policy and attitude of the four years having been definitely formulated and adhered to in that record. We trust that Negro Republicans in the South, beginning with Alabama, will see to it that they are adequately represented in the State conventions and in the delegations elected to the Chicago convention. NOTABLE DISTINCTION A recent "Peace Dinner" given by the Sunday World at Hotel Astor, practically every race in the world was represented. This included Americans, Australians, Armenians, Bulgarians, Chinese, Japanese, Cubans, Egyptians and what not. Hon. Charles W. Anderson was selected to represent the Negro race. This is a rare and deserving distinction. Among those at the banquet were Col. Washington, a great-great-grand nephew of George Washington, and also Hon. W. Bourke Cockran and the editor of Collier's Weekly. Who will dare suggest that we are not making progress when within less than fifty years of freedom a Negro can sit down to dinner with a relative of George Washington. --- Persia stands in the shadows of this memberment and loss of national existence. Russia threatens to grab the southern and Great Britain the northern half of the country, which extended from "India unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven provinces" when the Angles and Bretons and the Tartars of Russia were howling savages. And Mr. William Morgan Shuster, the young American-Jew Treasurer-General, whied to save Persia to the nations and who was driven out by the British loot and Russian bear, is on the way to Washington, a sadder but wiser man. Policeman Battle's now a full-fledged patrolman. He has gone over the six months' probation agony. His fellow officers like him and say of him that he is a gentleman and every inch an officer That is good. Patrolman Battle deserves a vote of thanks for showing the Negroes of New York that the trick not only can be done but that the only way to do it is to do it. That is a great lesson for a person to know and to teach others. But unless those who are taught by both precept and example put to the test what they have been taught they have themselves to blame for the loss they sustain, and should not blame others. We need more Negro policemen in New York, and we can get them, but only by having capable Negroes like Mr. Battle take the total Service examinations. It cost $8,000 and thirty three days to steady digging day and night, to recover the body of James Hartnett, a Brooklyn Negro. December 7 a well he was helping to dig at 87 Clifton place, Brooklyn caved in and buried Hartnett. When recovered the body was standing upright in the hoisting bucket, forty-four feet down in the pit. There were two men in the well when the cave in began. When the signal was given the white man went up first, and then on the second lift, the black man was away the falling earth and crushed. The bodies of princes have cost less than $8,000 to recover from the place they were killed in order that they might have Christian burial. Mountain Oak, the best water in Mound Bayon, Minneapolis, appears to be going it rich. They have just struck a large stratum of artesian water at Allensworth, and thus settled for all time the water question. We have not heard much of Boley, Okla, lately, but we are sure it is making good as usual. And our towns are becoming so attractive that it is impossible to keep white traders and sightseers out of them. That is the way it should be. --- The book review of "My Larger Education," which recently appeared in The Aug. 15 should have been accredited to the Outlook Magazine, of which Col. Roosevelt is contributing editor. Such a fine review by so important a magazine as the Outlook is entitled to more than passing notice. Dr. Washington must find himself in some measure repaid for his devoted energies in behalf of the Negro in reading such an appraisal of his work as the Outlook published. We commend to our readers everywhere the large sized review of Dr. Washington's work revealed by the Outlook's review of his latest publication. The Hon. Daniel Howard, the new President of Liberia, said, in his inaugural address, as stated in the news columns of TIm. Aug. last week, that all boundary disputes have been settled satisfactorily and that the country now looks forward to a period of prosperity. We hope so. It has a good foundation in nationality, recognized by all European, American and Asiatic States, and it has a good and helpful friend in the United States. It has abundant resources at home and should have abundant credit abroad, and would have by a proper development and conservation of its resources at home. --- To fight fire under normal weather conditions is bad enough, but to fight it in a Winter gale, on one of the coldest days of the year, was the fearful task of the New York tremen. Tuesday of last week, when the Equitable Building, one of the show places of New York, went up in tones, with the loss of six lives and millions of valuables. Most sightseers who have visited New York have visited the Equitable Buildings on lower Brad airway, upon which the cross on the spine of Trinity Church, a the head of Wall Street, looks down. The cross was colored a bloody red during the progress of the fire. --- State tails, mostly of the agricultural character, have always been popular among all sorts of people in the Old World and the New World. In Asia they are called bazaars. The Negro State tails of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia have become annual and very helpful in character. They show the white and colored white people what the black and colored black people are doing as independent factors in the citizenship. The Savannah Mormon Negro says that President R R Wright has figured out the money cost of the United State bar at Macon, November 8 18, at $10989127, and that all the cost has been paid. The fact was a great success in point of exhibits, attendance and promotion of men who attended The Countess of Warwick, once famous as 'The Rabbling Broke', will it be delivered forty lectures in Canada and the United States on communication and kindred issues, which are always lauded for a hearing and never getting it, except in the neck. People don't love onions, but on facts. As Lady Provoke, the countess belongs to the Prince of Wales set, but she is said to have lauded in a gambling case, and society shut her out. She then went to Radicalsism for comfort for herself and comfort for her old associates of the nobility. But the Countess of Warwick is an interesting creature nonetheless, and is worth while gaping at it not listening to. People who fall out with their own set and seek to tear them down for spite or revenge are sometimes very dangerous. THE NEGRO PRESS Good News for Tennessee. The Negro is not asleep.

The law administration of the criminal laws of this country finds its greatest evil in the lynching and murdering of its citizens without due process of law, and soon will corrode all the national machinery. The life and vitality of this government finds its strength in the peaceful security of its citizens, and the constant growth of this disrespect and disregard for the law will produce an incurable disease in the body politic—Dayton Record. A majority of the moving picture theatres that are claimed to be owned and controlled by colored men are under the control of Jews. The Jews are united, and are able to control quite a number of enterprises in this city. Negro takes his time being used by the colored people are now being used in these moving picture theatres by the Jews, who will not permit Negroes to enter their theatres downtown. Until the colored people can realize the importance of united action they will forever be the cat's paw for white people. Negroes are earning all the money they can, but it does blame the Negroes for allowing themselves to be used to their own detriment. Washington Bee. Snus of White Men Find Them Out. The sins of white men seem to return upon them as a hostile plague. White men are mistaken for Negroes in their society and are compelled to flee for their lives. This was clearly a solid last Saturday night when a Russian Jew, in company with a German, entered the building and bounced cafes. On account of his dark complexion, he was thought to be a Negro. The whole city was stung at once and had it not been for the swiftness of the victims' foot and legs which enabled him to leap high buildings and dodge his assailants and who, in his pursuit, were trying for his blood. Pine Shaft (Ark.) Heigel Capitalizing Race Prejudice. In Washington no segregation law has been found necessary. Society here, as elsewhere, is self-distributive. People of like ideals, like means, and like values, live in harmony, be they white or black, Jew or Gentile. In public office, in street cars, stores, markets, galleries and museums, parks and buildings the races mingle freely, without t friction and Washington is as essentially white as the bantas or New Orleans. The restaurants, the剧院 and hotels could loosen up more than they do without disturring the peace. The shrewd Negro, however, is taking advantage of the short sc侍edness of the white man in this city, to capitalize up places of his own capitalizing Washington National Union. Real Fatherhood Real Fatherhood as realized by man does not consist in mere physical relationship. Nor is it physical likeness. A person may be physically the son of a mother, but if all ties of affection are lost, the son are not a son. Affection is all. There are no children who are in the same family, one a son by nature, the other by adoption. Suppose the son by nature grows up out of all sympathy with the parents. He follows paths directly opposite to it, by the parents. He is a continued son of the adopted son grows up in sympathy with the family. He honors its name, sacristries for it and instead of bringing to it sorrow, he brings to it honor. This one is the law of his parents, yet the son by nature. Which one, however, is the son or is deserving more of the fairy love? The second, we agree. His relationship is that of spirit with spirit.

Madam Hack her hold away at First Baptist Church military academy and military academy in New York as artist. She was assisted in her recital by some of the best local talent. She visited some of the city schools and entertained the pupils with a few selections. Dr. J. B. Plins deserves much credit for bringing such talent to these remote districts. Dr. J. T.

Flu. Dr. Brown was Dean of Theology at Gundaldupe College, Seguin, Tex., for two years, secretary of the St. John's Association and conductor of the Bible Institute. We hate to lose such a character, but shall be glad to see him grow and broaden in his new field. Samuel Huston College narrowly escaped having a big conflagration and a panic last week when a flue of the main building caught fire, when a blizzard was at its height, and the young men and firemen prevented the girls from jumping off of the windows to almost certain death.

WALTON WHILE the mercury in the thermometer was flirting with the zero mark and winter's chilly blasts were doing their best to become sociable and meet on intimate terms all persons who chanced to be on the thoroughfares of New York City, a goody number of performers gathered together at the clubrooms of the Colored Vaudeville, Benvolent Association, 127 W. 30th street, a few evenings ago, and became involved in a discussion over the present theatrical situation with reference to the colored vaudeville. It was the consensus of opinion that the presence of so many small time vaudeville and motion picture houses has created more of a demand for colored acts, even if the United people, who control what is known as the big time, have not been over-generous in giving colored acts work within the past two or three years. The performers engaged in the discussion began to name the vaudeville houses booked by the United nld classed as southern houses where colored acts seldom, if ever, appear, and it was interesting to note the cities in which colored vaudevillians are persona non grato so far as getting big time booking is concerned. It is extremely fortunate for colored acts that they are in demand over the small time circuits in some of the large cities, for if it was up to the big circuit to provide them with work there are several cities that would not be on the theatrical map to them. It is not necessary to go far to find that such a situation exists, for less than one hundred miles from New York—in Philadelphia—a colored act has not appeared at Keith's for two or three seasons. There was a time when the management at Keith's played colored acts often, but the manager and the member of a certain male colored team became embroiled in an argument over the conduct of the performer, and ever since the manager has had an aversion to colored acts, refusing to book them in his house. Keith's Theatre in Philadelphia is perhaps the finest vaudeville house in appointment in the United States, and the unfriendly attitude of the management has been quite a severe blow to colored vaudevillians. An effort has been made to induce the manager to withdraw his prejudicial feeling, temporarily at least, and permit certain colored acts to appear at Keith's, but to date he has been unrelenting and is making all colored acts suffer because he had a misunderstanding with one colored performer. Leaving Philadelphia, where a ban has been placed on colored acts on the big time one only has to go to Wilmington, Del., a short distance away, where the management has not been disposed to book colored acts at Dockstars's Garrick Theatre. Until this season no colored act had appeared at the house for years. However, the management has deviated from its policy somewhat recently, and within the past four months has played two colored acts—Stewart and Marshall, and the Kratons—both of which were the hits of their respective bills. Colored vaudevillians are hoping that in view of the good record made by Stewart and Marshall and the Kratons that Garrick Theatre will book more colored acts in the future. Going to Baltimore from Wilmington it will be found upon investigation that colored acts are as rare at Kernan's Maryland Theatre as the butterfly and little busy bee in New York City on a December day. Possibly they booked colored acts at the Maryland Theatre years ago, but it has not been within the past four years; for I have my first time to write that "So and So played at the Maryland Theatre, Baltimore." It is not that the manager has had a quarrel with a colored performer, as was the case in Philadelphia, but because of the policy followed by the management not to book colored acts. I will now dwell upon conditions existing in the capital city of the United States, named after the father of our country, and where laws are supposed to be enacted fairly for the benefit of the ninety millions of citizens. Of course we will overlook the "Jim Crow" car laws introduced by some of our patriotic Southern statesmen. At Chase's Theatre it is said that a colored act has not been on the bills since Cole and Johnson were headliners in vaudeville at the time they were writing "Congo Love Song," "Lazy Moon" and other song hits. Rumor has it that this theatre is not particular about allowing a colored person to sit even in the gallery, and that oftimes when a colored messenger is sent after seats by the head of some department the latter is compelled to telephone to the man in the box office before he is permitted to enter the house. What a condition to exist in the capital city of our country! For some unknown reason the management is not booking colored acts at Keith's Boston, with as much regularity as in days gone by. In fact, I do not recall having written about a colored act playing at Keith's in the Hub City this season. Whether the management has become inoculated with the prejudice germ by associating with the managers of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington is not known. Then there is Keith's Theatre ville, which hats colored Keith's Cincinnati, which books a colored act occasionally, but the attitude of these houses does not elicit as much surprise as the theatres in the East. It must not be presumed that the majority of managers who book through the United office are prejudiced against colored acts, for there are eighty-seven theatres on the big time, which include the Percy, Willans, Orpheum, Poli, Keith and Proctor Circuits and Hammersteig's Victoria. The success of the colored acts at the Garrick Theatre has made it perfectly clear that the colored performer is not being kept off the big time in some of our large eastern cities because of the antipathy of the theatregroups but on account of the unfriendly attitude of the managers, who, instead of booking colored acts, hire white performers to appear in black-face and do their best to imitate colored Vaudevillians. It is about time for these managers to forget their prejudices and give their patrons the real thing, for there are quite a number of colored acts that could make good.

It appears to be a grayscale photograph with indistinct features. --- ```markdown ``` BROWN AND NEVARRO who have returned from their vaudeville trip abroad.

The warmest act of the bunch was presented by the Griffin Sisters, who have been held over for the whole season. They are of white sister teens getting by on the big time that are inferior to the Griffin Sisters. Their act is the best costumed that has ever been at the Crescent, and every minute they are on the stage they are sufficiently entertaining as to command attention. The sister who is possessed of considerable plumpness is the comedienne and gets about on the stage like a two-year-old, despite her embomb point, while the other Miss Griffin does most of the serious vocal work. The Griffin Sisters are the most many colored theatres in this country, and when a sure enough circuit of colored theatres is formed they are sure to be one of the feature acts. Of late we have been having an over-abundance of female impersonators, but Albert Bowers deserves more than casual mention. His artistic make-up of a tall and stately "tantalizing brown" is very deceptive. Bowers moves about with some style and grace and his singing is not bad. Other acts on the bill were Harry Rose and Parker and Palmer. COMPANY'S BOOKS NOW OPEN.

I wish to submit to you a name for the new national theatre which to my mind is intently appropriate. I should like very much if it meets your approval to call the theatre the George Walker Theatre. You will no doubt agree with me that while Mr. Walker argues that he was nevertheless a pioneer in the theatrical world among colored players. He always worked for the moral uplift of the colored player. Indeed he was a star behind the footlights and a master in his line of theatrical work. Yours truly, C. H. BUCKNER Boston, Mass. THIS WALKER THEATRE. To the Dynamic Editor of The Age. In reference to a name for the new theatre that is to be erected by the Johnson Amusement Company in New York, I suspect the Walker, in honor of the late George W. Walker, I think it would be very appropriate to keep the name all along one side, bucks for the stage and whose name should and would be remembered. All belonged it to easy remember. Hoping you and the other members of the company will consider the name as an appropriate one. I am. Very respectfully. GEO. MANUEL, Atlantic City, N. J. THE PROGRESS THEATRE. In reading your paper of a recent issue I saw an invitation extended to the public to suggest a name for the new theatre to be erected by the Johnson Amusement Company. I spent a week building it, having have been retired ten years. I would suggest the name of The Progress, because our race is doing everything possible along that line, striving for civil rights and education, and without those: requisites there is no progress. The virtue in the word progress is all-powerful to our race. Perseverance belongs to progress. I am yours. GEO. L. MONLEY. Martinsburg, W. Va. FOUR NAMES SUGGESTED To the Primary Editor of The Art In suggesting names for the new theatre to be built by the Johnson Amusement Company my choice would be to name it The Walker in honor of the late George W. Walker, he having been one of the greatest and most popular colored actors behind the footsteps of Second, lets being the goddess of Egyptian mythology, was popular in some until the end of the republic and should be a very popular name for this theatre. Third. The Danbar, in honor of America's greatest Negro poet. (Mrs.) SAIDEE S. WILSON Boston, Mass. SUGGESTS "RENDEZVOUS." As the Johnson Amusement Company of New York City is soon to erect a theatre superior in every detail to any existing theatre that is now controlled by Negroes, and as it is understood that when this theatre is completed it will be the general entertainment of the city, as the stagnant the progressive and race-boying Negro not only on of New York but from every cline on the face of the globe who may have the good fortune to visit the Americas metropolis I beg to submit the name The Reddyvous Theatre. Theatre Reddyvous" or an amusement service to us as the name Reddyvous. Sincerely yours. J. ELEWARD STEPHENS Boston, Mass NAMES OF NOTED NEGROES To the Dramatic Editor of The Age I am sending you the following names for consideration, as they are names of noted colored men, and I think the name of the new theatre should be something, for the coming generation to think over as well as appreciate. The names I suggest follow. Crispus Attucks, after the first colored man in Boston who made a fight for liberty, Ernest Hogan, one of our colored actors who did much to uplift the colored theatrical profession; George W. Aker, one of our noted actors; William H. Hogan, one of our colored theatrical profession; Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the note colored poet, Toussaint L'Overture, the colored general, Frederick Douglass, the great colored advocate for the rights of his race. MRS. ROBERT A. KELLEY. New York City. DUMAS AND ALDRIDGE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age As a name for the proposed new colored theatre I would suggest as first choice The Dumas. Among the many small colored theatre there are some no doubt of this same name, but when we consider the high character which the proposed playhouse will maintain, and the enmity which the elder Dumas holds in the world of drama and the world of letters, it would be hard to select a name more appropriate. As second choice I suggest The Aldridge Ira Aldridge held a high place among the tragedians of his day, a day that is looked upon as the golden age of the stage, and the great height of the class, blessed to play later to his "ethical" These two names are both associated with the stage, one as dramatist, the other as actor, both at the head of their respective classes and number of the colored race. Either one of them would make a name fittingly appropriate for a colored theatre. Respectfully, ELOW B.
