LIBERIA STARTS ON A NEW ERA The Age Receives the First Detailed Account of Inauguration HOWARD IS PRESIDENT New Executive interestingly Discusses Important Questions in Inaugural Address NATIVE CHIEFS FRIENDLY Nearly Two Thousand Natives From Interior A land inaugural Ceremonies—Promire to Work for Republic's Good. From THE AGE correspondent at Monrovia, Eiberia, the first detailed account of the inauguration of the black republic's new president, Daniel Edward Howard, has been received in this country. The inaugural ceremonies took place at Monrovia Monday, January 1, and Tuesday, January 2, and were imposing. Aside from the prominent officials of the republic and representatives of foreign nations, the spectacle was made more picturesque by the presence of native chiefs, headmen and retainers. It was the first inauguration ever attended by native chiefs, headmen and retainers, and their presence was significant. They talked nothing but peace and prosperity, and promised to do all in their power to make the new administration a highly successful one. Nearly 2000 natives from the interior listened to President Howard advocate that they be given equal rights, and on the second day President Howard and Vice-President Harmon donned similar attire as worn by the native chiefs, the incident occasioning much good feeling. The new administration promises to mark a new era for the republic. The officials are working together in harmony; the native chiefs are now forged instead of war, and taking into consideration that negotiations for receiving the large loan, which was so successfully conducted by the United States Government have been completed, the consensus of opinion in Monrovia is that the country has started on its work of rehabilitation. The prominent officials of the new Liberian administration are: President, Daniel Edward Howard; Vice-President, Samuel George Harmon; Secretary of State, C. D. B. King; Secretary of Treasury, Thomas W. Haynes; Secretary of War and Navy, Wilmot E. Dennis; Postmaster General, Col. Isaac Moort; Secretary of Interior, J. J. Morris; Attorney General, Samuel A. Ross; Secretary of Education, B. W. Payne. Walter F. Walker is Executive Secretary to the President. The Inauguration Committee was headed by H. J. R. Cooper, chairman of the Senate's Committee, and J. J. Ellis, chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee. Some of the Things President Said in Inaugural Address. Among the things said by President Howard, who succeeded Arthur Barclay as chief executive, in his inaugural address were: "The great American Government after a silence, far from forgetting and abandoning the tender infant cast aside upon the shores of Africa, has come in an hour of danger to assist us on her strong pinions to a nest of safety. If we but follow her examples and heed her teaching of economy, thrift and industry, and if we are just in our dealings with men and nations we shall never escape her vigilant eye, nor cease to be the object of marked manifestation of interest on her part. "I shall do all in my power to maintain and strengthen the friendly feelings now so happily subsisting between us * * * as well as all the other governments here represented, and I shall expect the co-operation of all citizens to that end. I am afraid that some of us are too prone to the belief that foreign powers are our enemies, and that some one of them is always seeking some pretext to thwart Good purposes in the founding of Liberia, and to deprive us of our most sacred heritage. To any mind, however, our real enemies, our most subtle foes, our most potent drawback, lie within and among some of our loudest professed patriots. Liberia must attain to the position of a prosperous African state, and her sons and daughters are to be the agents to bring this about. Let us, therefore, go to work and do what we cotnend we are capable of doing. Let each one do his part, for it is only by the concentrated efforts of the whole that success can be achieved. Better School System Needed. Our school system needs reorganizing and perfecting from the bottom up. The joint attempts now made to provide educational facilities for the people make only the slightest dent in the stronghold of ignorance, and it is high time earnest, persistent and sustained efforts should be trained upon an adequate educational system. Parents must learn the virtue of sacrificing for the intellectual improvement of their children, unless they wish to create a mentally incompetent generation. Common education is the bulwark and strength of any country. The progress of any country, and especially the position it will attain in the rank of nations in the future, is largely to be measured by the provisions made for the largest possible education of the masses. In very few countries perhaps is the need of common education and the preparation of teachers more vital and pressing than in Liberia. We must see to it that this condition is altered and that with all possible haste. "Liberia College should be amply maintained for the following reasons: First, it is the oldest and most efficient state school in the country and the first and only state college. Second, it has been of incalculable benefit to the country in preparing and sending out useful men and women ever since its founding, and but for several reasons at this age of the institution it would have realized all that was ever contemplated of it in its founding. "The agricultural development of the country shall be among our chief concerns and shall engage our most serious attention. With that object in view we feel that it is imperative to inaugurate what may be called a labor bureau, or a system whereby labor may be engaged under Government protection. To this end the creation and appointment of two or more labor agents in Montserrado County, on each bank of the St. Paul River should be considered. These agents should be charged with the duty of receiving all laborers who may come down from the interior, and hiring them out to the farmers under proper guarantee of payment for services. "The Executive Government, through the Interior Department, will hold conferences with the chiefs of the different sections in the county from which labor is recruited, explain to them the policy and object of the Government to have them furnish laborers regularly, also of the Government's firm determination to see that each laborer is justly paid for his services. Each chief so interesting himself to supply laborers from his section should receive an annual stipend from the Government or a fixed sum per capita for each laborer furnished. A law respecting the Government's securing the pay of the laborers should be so framed that nothing, not even the home-stead exemption, shall prevent the Government from entering suits, if occasion requires, to raise the sum due each employer should he fail to pay a laborer at the proper time any amounts due him. Approves Financial Agreement. "The financial agreement recently concluded between the Government of Liberia and certain American and European capitalist through the kindly assistance of the State Department at Washington, it is needless to say, has my strongest endorsement and approval. The new administration pledges itself to observe strictly all of its provisions and to afford all necessary facilities for its smooth and effective operation. "The agreement, though in some respects it may appear to place a little restriction upon us in the management, collection and control of our customs revenues, yet in its political bearings, I am sure, will prove to be of incalculable benefit to the republic. Hence it becomes the solemn and imperative duty of every citizen to give his individual support to the Government in its efforts to initiate and prosecute such a measure, which must tend to our national preservation and security. If the temporary management in the hands of others of a part of our government machinery will result in actual and permanent independence and international respect, which I firmly believe will be the outcome, then it becomes out imperative duty as patriotic citizens to make such a necessary and noble sacrifice. Short Sketch of New President Daniel Edward Howard, who was elected President of Liberia May 2, 1911 and inaugurated the first of the year, was born in Monrovia, August 4, 1861. While quite an infant his mother died and a grand aunt was entrusted with his care. The new President's father was the late Thomas W. Howard, who for over twenty-five years was chief government printer, and during several political campaigns chairman and leader of the Whig Party. The Howards belong to one of the old pioneer families associated with the historical Elijah Johnson. The first schol ever attended by Mr. Howard was the Methodist Seminary at Monrovia, now the College of West Africa. Later he entered the preparatory department of Liberia College and matriculated in the college proper during the presidency of Prof. Martin H. Freeman. While attending college Mr. Howard worked at the printing trade until Dr. Edward W. Blyden took charge of Liberia College, who made a rule that students would either have to give their whole time to study or leave the institution. Soon afterwards he was compelled to quit college. When the late President Hilary Johnson entered office he employed Mr. Howard as his private secretary, in which capacity he served the entire eight years of Johnson's administration. President Johnson was so attached to the young man that in 1886 he appointed him Clerk of the Superior Court of Montserrado County and continued him as his private secretary. He remained in the position as clerk of that court for sixteen years. Under Coleman's administration he was appointed Superintendent of Montserrado County and did so well with the county's funds that immediately upon the inauguration of President Barclay he was entrusted with the conduct of the Treasury Department. The position of Secretary of the Treasury of Liberia is a very difficult one. He is the paymaster of the Republic. As head of the Treasury service of the Republic, Mr. Howard did his level best to remedy this most prominent point of weakness in the country's finances. C. D. B. KING Secretary of State WILMOTE E.

HOWARD THOMASI W. HAYNES Secretary of Treasury J. U. MORRIS Secretary of Interior COL. BAAC HOERT President General WALTER F. WALNER Secretary to the President Some of the Members of Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs Thought Contribution Usecary. There has been a difference of opinion existing among the members of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs lately as to the practicability of giving $25 monthly to Harriet Tubman, who is an inmate of the Tubman Home at Auburn, N. Y. Some of the members favored continuing giving the money, while others did not think that the contribution was necessary. Dr. James Edward Mason, secretary of Living stone College, Salisbury, N. C., learning of the subject at issue in the federation decided to make a personal investigation of Aunt Harriet's condition and report his findings. Dr. Mason, who is well known in northern New York, called on Harriet Tubman a few weeks ago. He has informed the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs that the heroine of slavery days, while being looked after, needs the money sent her by the federation, which is used to meet her expenses, which are large. It is said that some of the members of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs were of the opinion that Aunt Harriet received quite a sum from the Government, which was quite ample for her needs. However, it has been learned that the amount she receives as a pension is not more than $20 monthly. Dr. Mason's Letter to Federation. The report of Dr. Mason to the federation follows: "To the Members of the Empire State Federations of Women's Club: "When closing a five weeks' series of lectures in Canada the early part of December, I received a communication at Toronto from my old friend, the Rev. Charles A. Smith, chaplain of the Tubman Home, Auburn, N. Y., who is one of the surviving members of the famous 54th Massachusetts Volunteers. Among other things, he said, 'What has become of you? Have you forsaken us? We would like to have you at a dinner of old friends about December, as we hear you intend visiting England early next year.' "I returned to the states a few days later, en route South. On Thursday evening, December 21st, I arrived at Auburn and was taken in a carriage, to the Tubman Home, nearly two miles from the station. The home is finely located on South street about one-half mile from the millionaire row. The property consists of twenty-six acres (Continued on Page 8.) for delegates, is not commuting from his friends here that he and Postmaster General Hitchcock have broken friendship. As a sign that Mr. Johnson can no longer hask in the favor of the Post Master General it is said and confirmed by Mr. Johnson, that Hitchcock requested that he (Johnson) return the autographed photo of the Postmaster General which the latter had given the Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Johnson, it is said, wrote across the photograph of the Postmaster General the words: "Received without solicitation and returned without regret," and then sent it by the fastest mail route to the Postmaster General. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Hitchcock had been close friends ever since prior to the last national convention, and it was Mr. Hitchcock who had Mr. Johnson appointed Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Johnson is here hustling for Taft-instructed delegates to the national convention. LOUISIANA'S POPULATION Late Census Shows that There Are in State 941,125 Whites to 713,874 Negroes. New Orleans Has 248,435 Whites and 88,282 Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 7.—A preliminary statement of the white and Negro population of Louisiana, by parishes and principal cities, as shown by the returns of the thirteenth decennial census, taken as of April 15, 1910. has been issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census, department of Commerce and Labor. The total population of Louisiana in 1910 was subdivided as to color as follows: White, 941,125; Negro, 713,874; all other persons (Indians and Chinese, Japanese and other Asiatics), 1389. The equivalent figures for 1900 were: White, 729,126; Negro, 650,804; all other, 1209. For 1890 they were: White, 558,395; Negro, 559,193; all other, 1,000. The Negro population constituted 43.1 per cent. of the total population of the State in 1910, as against 47.1 per cent. in 1900 and 50 per cent. in 1890. The rate increase in the Negro population since 1900 was less than that for the preceding decade, the increase from 1900 to 1901 being 36,070 or 9.7 per cent, as compared with 91,611 or 16.4 per cent, from 1890 to 1900. The white population increased from 1900 to 1910 at a somewhat lower rate than from 1890 to 1900, the increase being respectively 211,513, or 29 per cent, as against 171,217, or 30.7 per cent.

Watson Charges That Thaddeus L. McDonald Made Unwarranted Attack on Mr. DeCordova. Many West Indian Negroes now living in this country, who have been following the discussion appearing in THE Ace relative to true conditions in Jamaica, are inclined to side with the views expressed on the subject by Attorney O'Connor DeCordova rather than with the impressions of Thaddeus L. McDonald, a student at Morgan College, Baltimore. Among those to side with Mr. DeCordova is J. S. Watson, a native of Jamaica, who asserts that Mr. McDonald made a warranted attack on Mr. DeCordova. Mr. Watson says: "During the long, drawn-out West Indian discussion in the papers, I remained passive for the reason that I abhor the idea of making myself conspicuous in print, and further, because of entertaining the hope that sooner or later some disinterested party would appear who would give the American public an impartial impression of the West Indian, based on his personal observation. "When, therefore, I read O'Connor DeCordova's article in THE AGE respecting the West Indies, I concluded that it would terminate the controversy; first, because Mr. DeCordova is, to use Mr. McDonald's expression, "a man of intellectual attainment, social status and an unblemished character"; secondly, because of his vast experience through many years' practice at the bar and later as a high government official, which brought him in contact with all classes of West Indians; and thirdly, because he is a white man. Provoked by Statements of McDonald. Provoked by Statements of McDonald. "Thaddeus L. McDonald's unwarranted attack on Mr. DeCordova's very fair statement has now induced me to take up the issue. I wish it distinctly understood at the outset that my purpose is not to discuss the relative merits of the West Indian and the American, for that is not the point at issue. Furthermore, it is conceded that in every country on the face of the earth there are two classes of persons; the one representing the best type of citizenship and the other the conduct of whose members reflects discredit and disgrace on the land of their birth and their fellow citizens. It would therefore be unfair to one country as to the other to select a representative West Indian Negro for comparison with a low type American Negro and vice versa, and then say here is a (Continued on Page 8.) Missouri News-Scimitar Tale Whites of the South that They Wanted Understand New and Natural Evolution of Rise Relationship-Paper, Defense Ignorance and Fear of Education. Special to The New York Am. MEMPHIS, Teen., Feb. 6.—Declaring for Negro education, and advising the white people of the South that they must educate themselves to an understanding of the new and natural evolution in race relationship, the Memphis News-Scimitar, one of the most influential papers in the South, has attracted more than ordinary attention by taking such a broad-minded stand. Under the caption "Negro Advancement," the News-Scimitar says: "If all the colored brethren were Booker Washingtona, remarks a Chicago editor, 'the race problem would vanish.'" "This is doubtful. The chief grievance against the colored man seems to be his disposition to rise to a level with the white man. We are told by Dr. Tom Dixon, for example, that as an ignorant laborer the colored man is all right, but that education spoils him—makes him a monstrosity." "If this is comprehensible at all, it seems that so long as the colored man is content to be little more than a mere animal, and to do the whites' dirty work, he is acceptable; but that as a man, with soul, and aspiration, and advancement, he is intolerable. "According to this view, Booker Washington is a monstrosity, and just the sort of a man who is shaking the tranquility of the whites. But this view cannot be acceptable to the common sense of humanity. "There is an element in the South that makes noise out of all proportion to its numbers, which seeks to hold the Negro, through his ignorance, in voluntary and perpetual slavery. Education and industrial skill threaten to emancipate him. Hence the tears. "It would be more true to say that if all whites had the broad mind and high spirit of Booker Washington, there would be no race question to settle. There would be hearty co-operation for the advancement of both whites and Negroes. "The whole problem has grown out of the fact that while the colored leaders have made great progress toward a solution of the questions growing out of race rivalry, the whites have entrenched themselves in Negro hate and stood still. "The white people of the South need to separate themselves to an understood understanding and natural evolution." PLAN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN Great Trip Through Florida to Be Made by Booker T. Washington and Party in Maroh. Special to THE NEW YORK AOK. PENSACOLA, Florida, Feb. 6—Dr. Booker T. Washington, together with a number of prominent colored people in Florida, and out of Florida, is planning to make an educational campaign through the State of Florida, beginning at Pensacola on March 1, and extending through March 7. In some respects this will be the most important educational trip that Dr. Washington has made. M. M. Lewey of Pensacola, Fla., President of the Florida State Negro Business League, is in charge of the trip, and is being liberally assisted by prominent colored people in every part of Florida. Aside from prominent colored people in Florida who will accompany Dr. Washington, the Florida business men have also invited the persons who have been in charge of Dr. Washington's tours in other States. Those who have accepted invitations from outside of Florida include such prominent persons as Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the U. S. Treasury, Washington, D. C.; Maj. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute, Va.; W. T. B. Williams, field secretary of the John F. Slater Fund; Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago; the Rev. Richard Carroll, editor of the *Plowman*, Columbia, S. C.; John Merrick and C. C. Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company, Durham, N. C.; Dr. S. G. Elbert of Wilmington, Del.; Dr. M. W. Gilbert of Selma University, Selma, Ala.; Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Charlotte, N. C.; W. T. Andrews, editor of the *Defender*, Sumter, S. C.; J. B. Bell, the wealthy real estate man of Houston, Tex.; and R. L. Smith, president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas. Already both men and women at the points to be touched in Florida are hard at work with their preparations. It is expected that Dr. Washington will speak briefly at many points where the train will stop for a few minutes, aside from the points already scheduled. NEGRO'S BRAVERY SAVES LIVES. Special to The New York Aon LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 6—Heroism of Stewart Wade, a colored jitor, who ran his elevator to the top floor twice through the flames, saved the occupants of the fashionable six-story St. James apartment house from death when fire destroyed the structure early Monaday. Just as Wade finished his second trip the cable broke and the cage dropped to the floor of the basement. Seventy-five people were rendered homeless and driver into the zero weather and slam in their night clothes. Nothing was saved and the loss will total more than $100,000. Mrs. E. S. Collins, an aged woman, received a broken leg by falling down stairs. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Feb. 6. Newcomer in the South who contemplate coming North to work would show judgment thoroughly investigating the standing of the various employment agencies, which advertise and promise to secure employment for southern Negroes in the northern States. The overseers of the plant in this city had an experience, and were with two colored women who had been victimized by a fake employment business, and the published facts should be a warning to all who plan to leave the South and make their home in the North. The case, which attracted so much attention in Williamsport last week, was that of two women, one of whom had a small baby, who had been fooled from their homes in Richmond, Va., to Bellefonte, Pa., by an employment bureau. Upon arriving at Bellefonte, the women found that they had been received by the employment bureau and that there was no work for them. Just a person in Bellefonte knew of their coming. bellefonte, who directed them in the transport for assistance. The nates arrived in Wiltshire with the thermometer at twenty below zero, and they presented a pittable picture. The officials in the city informed the charity applicants that it was impossible to send them to Richmond, but that transportation to the adjoining county would be furnished, and that the officials in the next county would send them to the next, and so on until they would finally reach Richmond. To make the trip from Bellefonte, Pa. to Richmond, Va., in rekys proved a hardship to the female victims of the unscrupulous employment bureau people, and upon reaching Richmond they were much impaired both mentally and physically. REPUBLICANS HAVE LOVEFEAST Dollar Dinner at Wheeling Friday Evening was No "Lilly White" Attendee —Attorney E. J. Graham, Jr., One of the Principal Speakers. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM WHEELING, W. VA., Feb. 6—Factional differences were buried, and all united for party harmony at the Republican Dollar Dinner, held last Friday evening at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, which was the largest gathering of Republicans, aside from the State Convention, ever held in the little mountain state. Never perhaps in West Virginia were so many of the leaders and supporters of the Republican organization of statewide prominence gathered under such pleasant and mutually satisfactory conditions. It was remarkable in more than one respect, but it was chiefly distinguished for the spirit of harmony that existed, and the unanimity of sentiment as to the solidarity of the frost to be presented to the common energy in National and State affairs. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Kirk, who introduced Hon. H. C. Ogden as toastmaster of the evening. Mr. Ogden was given an ovation as he rose. Among the speakers were Gov. Glasscook, Dr. Hatfield and Attorney E. J. Graham, Jr., colored, who made one of the happiest speeches of the evening. FILES $5,000 SLANDER SUIT. Suit for $5,000 damages has been instituted in the Supreme Court by James W. Anderson, a member of Mount Glead Baptist Church, against Crawford Griggs, another member of the congregation, charging slander. It is charged by Anderson that on December 18, at 2162 Fifth avenue, the defendant, in the presence of others, referred to him as "an old Baptist grumbbling up people's homes." Griggs is also charged with saying, "He has taken my wife and has broken up my house." The participants of the Church of St. Peter the Apostle will get ready for the great mission which will open on Sunday, February 25, and will last for two weeks. They extend a cordial invitation to their non-Catholic friends to attend the night services of the church, and the course will be given on Catholic doctrines.

Chew, died last Thursday evening at the family residence, 199 Ferry street. He was stricken with paralysis on January 24 while on his way to his office. About two years ago Mr. Chew was injured by a fall and never recovered from the effects of it. The deceased was born in this city sixty-two years ago. For several years he was deputy recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, under the late Frederick Douglass; he also held a position in the Treasury Department at Washington and was private secretary to Judge Fischer of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Chew's residence at Washington began during the reconstruction period and he was an active participant in many of the stirring events of that time. He had a retentive memory, and this with his keen interest in public affairs, made him an instructive and entertaining conversationalist. The funeral was held from the reu- rence Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The Rev. J. G. Car- lie, assisted by the Rev. J. W. McCoy, performed the funeral service. Sue W. Gibson, J. T. Prke, Robert Wiliams, H. A. Spencey and Ethelbert Evans, Interment was at Oakwood.

A., Monday, January 29. Dr. Holmes spoke on the general social unrest. This he analyzed as partially due to the unconscious effort of nationalizing millions of foreigners. Another reason, he saw in the distance from the great national struggle which bred a spirit of loyalty for the things striven for in the Civil War. But especially, said Dr. Holmes, the Negro is a great cause of unrest, not only in the South, but in the North as well. Many persons are alarmed because the is endeavoring to better position.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age. The Odd Fellows' Journal sticks closer to its mission as an uncolored organ of its fraternity than any other newspaper of its class we receive. Editor Henry P. Slaughter seldom ventures an opinion of anything outside of the three links, but gives all the news of the craft he can get. When the editor was in Philadelphia recently the office imp put a contributed article in the paper which the editor took two columns of space to explain, but the sore it has opened is still raw and loud in wrath. The Nashville Globe has been enlarged and strengthened. The steady growth of Negro newspapers in the various sections of the country and the interest they take in the local affairs of the people, always of a helpful character, with only incidental interest in "national affairs," has been very remarkable during the past ten years. The home, the church, the school and business interests have taken the place, almost entirely, of the editorial opinion of the Negro newspapers to the exclusion of political and personal discussions. That is to say, our editors are beginning to "taste down their buckets when they are" for the waters of life. Is there a screaming "Castoria Babes Cry for It" need of a national Democratic newspaper? Are there enough Negro Democrats in the country to pay for and read such a newspaper, so that the promoters could produce and live on what they give and not starve and write on what they receive for their exploits and labors? Anyhow, Misty Alexander Walters is said to favor such a venture, and Mr. Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall will edit it within the shadows thrown by the nation's capital down Pennsylvania towns. The name of Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall has a magnisonant sound, mouthful and resounding, and should be heard a long distance in the harbor of the campaign year. The viewpoint is everything. If you don't think straight you can't see straight. The Chicago Defender says: "The United States Government gave last year $238,000 to Indian education and $100,000 to Negro education. Comment unnecessary." But comment is necessary. The Indian owned the country before the white man, and the white man robbed him of it; it is as little as it could do, then, to make him some payment in the education of his remnants. Again; the Indian is very generally regarded and treated as a warrior of the nation, with no inheritance in citizenship. On the other hand, the Negro is a free citizen of the nation, and no ward, and has an undisputed inheritance in citizenship. The Indian is dependent; the Negro is independent. The natives of the west coast of Africa are to have a supply of high hats and paper collars. What they want with elders is not apparent at this remove from "Africa's golden sands." A New York steamer has just gone to the west coast loaded with things the natives fancy. "High hats and paper collars are affected in Liberian circles," the news item says, and "the natives prefer things to the more token of the value of things. Money does not mean much to them. They prefer barter." Perhaps it is so, but Jorge Stewart did not look it out, not talk as when he was recently in New York. We are sure, however, the west coast natives will outgrow the weakness for high hats and paper collars, if they have it. First the child, then the youth, then the man, amit takes time, sometimes a thousand years. Children like to parade in the clothes of old folks, and old folks often dress in the styles and colors of young people. So with races. Japan is in the transformation stage from Oriental to European mummers. So, we once saw a tall Japanese in Yokohama who had on a big colored gown, like a bath robe, behind with a cord, flapping open in front, with a derby hat on his head and marten shoes on his feet. That was your ago. We suppose now, he is being a full green suit three times a west coast African native with it and collar on, and making operal improvement from the THE NEGRO IS NOT AN ISSUE IN POLITICS. The Chicago Defender says: The New York Age is advocating a second Arm for Taft, not on the ground that he has done anything especially to merit the Negro vote, but in the ground that he has done anything predecessors. In electing a new and untied man to office we always foster the hope that he will live up to his pre-eron promises. We know what Taft has done for us—nothing, save take away what little we had in the United States as it does the untitled and undistinguished political ward hewers of Cook County; Tik Ace has too much respect for his office and for the man to do anything of the sort. The man is The President and The President is The Honorable William Howard Taft, others of our contemporaries are as vulgarly familiar in handling the name of the President as the Defender, and it is not a healthy race sign. The Negro is not now an issue in politics. His rights as a man, his status as a "citizen, are nowhere challenged by the Republican party, with and by authority of the platform of the National Republican convention, the last law delivered to the President as well as to each member of the party. Everywhere in the Nation the Negro has legal equal standing within the party with all the other race units of it; if he does not assert his legal equal right, if he allow others to deny him and thrust him aside, when there is nothing in the party platform to justify it, shall he blame President Taft or his party leaders in ward and State and Nation, or shall he blame himself? THE AGE has condemned the personal policy of President Taft that discriminates in any way whatsoever against the Negro, or his rights, in the North and in the South, personal policy, we say, because there is no authority in party policy to warrant or justify any discrimination that has been made. And, all in all, has not President Taft done better by the Negro in the Southern States than the Negro in the Southern States has done by himself. We think he has. Let us look the precious gift horse in the mouth. 1 The Negro has no representative in either branch of Congress. From 1868 to 1888 he had two Senators and one Congressman from Mississippi; one Congressman from Alabama, one from Florida, two from Georgia, four from South Carolina, four from North Carolina and one from Virginia. With the exception of North Carolina he has had no representation in Congress since 1896. Why? Because they put their confidence in and followed their white car- hagger leaders, who made government so corrupt and odious that Federal hayonets could not sustain it in power. You can't eat your corn pone and have it. Ten million people without representation in either branch of Congress can have no influence on legislation, and only so much on appointments as charity, may be disposed to hand out to medicants, to poor relations of the party family. Truth is as merciless as justice, and neither is afraid to look wisdom in the face, while folly should hang its head in the presence of either. 2. In the absence of Representatives in the Congress the member of the National Republican Committee for a State stands for the party and members of it as advisor to the President and the party leaders in the Congress in all matters of party policy and appointments for the State. Now what is the truth of the matter? This. The Negro Republicans of the nation have no member of the National Republican Committee. Whose fault is that? Is it the President's? He does not elect or select members of the National Committee for the States; the delegates to National Conventions do that. The National Committee for the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas should be Negroes, but they are not. Why? Because the Negro delegates have voted for white men to be their committee. At the St. Louis convention we had three; at the Chicago convention we had two, at the Philadelphia convention we had one; at the Chicago convention we had one; now we have none, and none in sight possible as the outcome of the line up at Chicago next June. If the Negro has lost control of the party organizations in the Southern States, whose fault is it? Were they forced out or did they sell out? You can't give nor sell the white man your job and have it. The Negro is not now a political issue. It is his fault. It is his business to correct it—if he can. The Agr has done and will do what it can to point the way. As matters stand we regard President Taft as the best and safest man to succeed himself. The dear old Georgia Baptist man says that, politically speaking, his position "is undefined." He is not helping to nominate a candidate for President, but, "as a Republican," he expects to support the candidate of the party, "but may not do so." There is nothing the matter with "a position politically" like that. GREENWOOD "COONS" AND THE ANDERSON "DOG." "The miserable Gov. Cole Blease, of South Carolina, is in the flashlights again, with "A Lady of Greenwood" and the editors of the Greenwood Scimiter and Andersonville Intelligencer for torchlights of error to Confusion. The Intelligencer republishes "from the Scimiter a letter from "A Lady of Greenwood" and the editorial comment under the caption, "White Men and Women Teach Greenwood Coons," which provoked Gov. Blease to rush to the Legislature with a message commanding the passage of a law to prevent "white persons from teaching in Negro schools." "Stop it, and stop it now!" gasped the Governor, with his strong breath of life writhing in his pen. Whenever Gov. Blease has a Negro pain anywhere in his cranium or corpus he sends a message to the Legislature. We are encouraged by the fact that the legislators of South Carolina are becoming disgusted with "Blease Negro pains and messages," and threaten to impeach the Governor and thus to suppress his "Negro pains and messages." There are some diseases that cannot be cured unless the patient is killed. Gov. Blease appears to be that sort of disease. Here is the agony: "A Lady of Greenwood" wrote the editor of the Scimiter a request that he investigate and write up "the Negro school in old Greenwood," as it would please her and "lots of ladies" to have him do so, but hoped he would suppress her game and destroy her letter in order "to protect a lady from undue notoriety." The chivalric editor of the Scimiter, with ink dripping from his editorial digits, suppressed the lady's name and destroyed the material evidence of her ladyship's penmanship. Then he went out to the school, taught by some Northern people, where the usual cordial relation between teachers and pupils so overcame him that he has not recovered from the shock. Why it did not kill him then and there will always remain a surprise and disappointment to his friends. Here follows a sample of his agony. The editors of the Greenwood Scimiter and the Anderson Intelligence and the miserable Gov. Cole Blease should not be allowed to create in South Carolina a condition between the races that may call ultimately for national rebuke and chastisement. The spirit of Justice is abroad in the land; the spirit that first makes the offenders mad that woe may come of the offences. The Negro is a citizen of the United States and of South Carolina; he has some rights which the white man is bound by the Federal Constitution to respect, and the spirit of Justice will see that he does it. The blasted power of the slavemaster will never gather itself together again in this Republic, dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal." ```markdown ``` It is natural for us to appreciate the flowers of rhetoric wherever we unite them scattered in the Sahara wastes of prose of our contemporaries. The birds that wake the drowsy silence with gladdsome melody, appeal to us more than do stupid quail on toast. In lamenting the death of Mrs. Alice G. Blake, a woman famed in her section for good works, the Port Gibson (Miss. Letter bursts into melody as follows. One of the greatest women characters ever produced in this community passed into the portals of eternal spring on Saturday morning just as the heralds of day had marched forth through the milky way of the meadows of heaven. The theory advanced by the Letter that Heaven, instead of being a kingdom of spiritual Etheralism, is bisected with rivers of milk and meadows full of good things to eat, is realistic, it startling The war of words between Gov. Woodrow Wilson on the one hand and Col. George Harvey and Col. Henry Watterson on the other has come to an end with a tremendous explosion by Col. Watterson and the publication of the personal letters that passed between Gov. Wilson and, Col. Harvey. The situation leaves Gov. Wilson dangling in the air, with all the things he denied hitched upon him by his own letters, a cold blooded candidate for the Presidency who has not hesitated to betray his friends in need and stigmatize them as liars who were compelled in self defense to turn the falsehood upon him by his own letters. It is useless to blame the man; the serpent nature is his by his own showing, and in seeking to get what he wants he does not respect the rights of his friends or enemies. If the Democrats nominate him they will know in advance the sort of man they have. THE GEORGIA GAG AND GAG ÖER. It is a horrible thing to be born with a gag in the mouth and to grow up and live and insist upon speaking for free men with the fear of the gagger in the heart, out of the fullness of which the tongue speaks and the pen utters sounds unto cowardice. Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, is such a creature. He possesses in unstinted measure the insolence of the coward and the cowardice of the sneak in all that he says as an editor and as an individual in the Independent. That such a creature should be put forward to speak officially, for the Negra Odd Fellows of Georgia, and should be allowed to speak, unchallenged, for the Negro masses of Georgia, is explainable upon no other ground than that the average Georgia Negro is gagged, as Mr. Davis is, and lives in awe of the gagger—the Georgia mob wrathers who, in the past three months have lynched seven Negroes, and without one word of condemnation by Benjamin Jefferson Davis or his Independent. In the Independent of December 9 Mr. Davis justifies the prosecution for libel of George Julian White by the Wilkes county authorities for reprinting in his Georgia Broad. Ax an article from the Chicago Defender, purporting to tell the truth about the killing of Mr. Hollenshead by Mr. T. B. Walker and the several attempts to lynch him, and classing the act of republication of such article by Mr. White and the Negroes who strove to help him in his trouble, as being of the same character and in the same class, as the act of the McNamara brothers, who blew up the Los Angeles Times with dynamite, and of the labor union conspirators who sympathized with them. In the Independent of January 27 Mr. Benjamin Jefferson Davis accuses The Age of falsifying the facts in the libel prosecution of Mr. White, of maligning "the good white people of Wilkes county," and of Georgia, and of stirring up strife between the races in Georgia, at long range, without first hand knowledge. He states that Mr. White has made public retraction of the alleged libellous publication. "He admits his guilt in his own newspaper," he says, "and yet The Age would advise the Negroes of Georgia to shield this criminal." Of course he would admit any thing with the white gag law in his mouth and the white gagger on his back; so would Benjamin Jefferson Davis. But the fact remains that the account of the Wilkes county outrage, as printed in the Chicago Defender and the accounts The Age found printed in the daily news dispatches of the time, and upon which The Age based its editorials, and which the Independent anathematizes, remain uncontradicted authoritatively. We would not accept the oath as to the facts of any twelve white men of Wilkes county who made two attempts to lynch Mr. Walker, nor of the Wilkes county judge who allowed to go unrebuke the brother of Mr. Hollenshead, who shot the face off Mr. Walker, in the courtroom while Mr. Walker was receiving sentence of death for the slaying of Hollenshead because, it is alleged, he outraged Walker's wife, nor of Benjamin Jefferson Davis, the editor with a black face and white heart, who being gagged himself would gag all of the Negroes in Georgia, and New York as well. The allegations that Tim. No. is ignorant of Southern conditions, that it would stir up strife between the races and that it would deliberately he to bolster up anything, is so far false as not to be denied. We take the facts we find them in the daily dispatches and our Negro exchanges, we know the Southern condition and spirit because we were born and reared in them, and we do not stir up strife, but would it bravely when others stirred it up and tell the truth about it when it was over. We would die rather than denounce our own for defending home and life from white mob wrathers, or cramp, and fawn and apologize for the acts of the white mob wrathers, "the good white people of Wilkes county," or other mob wrathing stink holes of Georgia. We want peace, but if the other fellow insists upon war, let him have war. We demand justice only, and we get in the courts of New York and, in the main, in the public opinion of New York, and we get it as a man and not as a slink. The instinuation of the Independent that this is not true because two or three judges seemed to show prejudice against Dr. Booker T. Washington, does not alter or affect the fact in the least. When the courts and public opinion of Georgia, and the South are as fair to the Negro in all things as they are invariably in New York, we shall have more to hope and less to fear for the civil and political future of the Negro people. Truth has nothing to fear when left engagged to fight bad laws and bad public opinion. To insist, as the Independent does, that there is no strife in Georgia, or that the Negro only stir it up, is not the way Tito Nor understands it. THE Age is against eroping Negroes of the Ben Davis type Proker T. Washington has an important article on "The Negro as a Farmer" in this North American Review for February. This article should be read very widely by the members of our race. The North American Review stands at the top of literary magazines of this country. WHY THE JEW PREVAILS EVERYWHERE. The Jewish race has very great vitality. Its blood persists and asserts itself in some way whenever it finds itself. It is a peculiar race, in so far that there is no other race like it in its characteristics and tendencies; that is, it is tribalistic rather than national in character, and parasitical and predatory rather than conservatory and constructive in tendencies—preying upon and devouring the substance of others rather than creating and devouring the substance of itself. That is essentially the race characteristic of all parasites, all race fungi—as subtle as serpents and as harmless as doves, to themselves. As a salesman, as a money-lender, the disposition of the Jew is to take and to hold the long end and let the other man take and hold the short end of every proposition. As a salesman he clothes a large percentage of the people of all lands; as a money-lender he holds the purse strings of the world and exacts his own terms of those, whether states or individuals, who need and must have money to finance their necessities, of war or of peace. What the Jew cannot win by merit he will seek to win by subtitle, and he usually succeeds. Americans will understand what all of this really means when the recent statement of the Premier of Russia is considered. In explaining the attitude of his government on the Jewish passport question, and the Jewish race in Russia, he admitted that the Jews would, if allowed a free hand, eat up the Russian people—not only as to their material substance but as to their blood. And this has actually happened in all countries where the Jew, who started without a race or name, has been allowed a free hand. As it has been in commerce and finance, so is it becoming in the learned professions and the sciences, the Jew is becoming a leader, if not a dictator. One-sixth of the Jews reside in the United States, and one-half of these reside in New York. In a recent issue of Leslie's Weekly is the following About 1,800,000 of the 11,000,000 Jews of the world reside in the United States. In proportion to numbers they are one of the most valuable components of our population. About 2,000,000 Austrian Hungary, with 2,000,000, are the only countries that lead the United States in the number of their Jewish people. More than half the entire number in this country reside in New York City. In this one city alone we are in any other four cities in the world. Many times more Jews are in New York than were in Jerusalem when at its most populous stage. More are in New York than were ever in the whole of Palestine. There are 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States alone! The Jewish race began from four people—Terah, Abram, Nahor and Haram, who were called in Abram by the Lord, out of Ur of the Childees, into Haram of the land of Canaan, in 1921 B.C. or 383 years ago, 427 years after the flood. A new race was formed out of those four men and their wives. They had no race name, but were, apparently, of the tribe of Shem of Noah. For a long time they were strangers in the land of Canaan, and were known as Hebrews. Then they went to Egypt and were known as Israelites, although they dwelt in Goshen. Then they went back to Canaan as Israelites, and became Iodah of Benjamin, and finally in the days of Christ, they were known, as they have been since, as Jews. Although the race came direct from Shem it is really an induration of the race of Noah, Shem Ham and Japheth in the Jewish race, so that the best of all the races is represented as a type of mankind in Jesus, the Christ of them all. It is because he is an induration of the four races of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth that the Jew prevails over any one of the other races of the same type when in contact with them, as the whole type must always be stronger than any one of its parts. The disposition to exclude the Hamites from the Brotherhood of Man in Noah is just as impossible to exclude the Shem and Japhethites, and to do that it will be necessary to recant the Gospel of Jesus and the Ministry of Paul, which is first to the Jew and then to the Gentile. It does not matter at all that our interpretation is not that of the theologians and schoolmen; it is true nevertheless. FREDERICK DOUGLASS HOS PITAL It is interesting to call the attention of our readers to the fact that the debt on the Frederick Douglass Hospital in Philadelphia has been lifted and the hospital saved from a sale at auction. The money, for the most part, was given by the good white people in Philadelphia and Whitney. We know from the matter that an friend, Dr Mossell will learn a lesson. Unfortunately he has heretofore belonged to a group of our people who give a good deal of their time and energy to abusing white people. If the white people had not come to his rescue, the hospital would have been sold under the hammer. It is a curious fact that the very people who are most dependent upon the white people and who are the most indebted to them for favors are the very ones who are most abusive of white people. people. We know we have now been educated by white people, sent to college, and have constantly been supported on the money of white people ever since they have been out of college, and still these same individuals think it is an exhibition of "manhood" to spend their time in abusing the white race indiscriminately, instead of praising the white people for what they have given them. "We hope that our good friend, Dr. Mossell will learn a lesson from this which will do him good in the future. Indiana is one of the doubtful political States. Like Ohio, New York and New Jersey, it is not safe to count it for either party. This fact gives the Never vote an importance in campaign years which it does not enjoy after the election. The Indianapolis World complains that the Indiana Negroes have not had a square deal in the councils of the party, "in the matter of preferment," and that on that account they "are doing the independent thinking." The World does not say so, but leaves the inference naked that after the campaign they will again cease "independent thinking," and relapse into the apathy that is political death. It is, unfortunately, a common Negro imbued, deadly ```markdown ``` Eggs are so scarce in Wisconsin that there was a small sized not at a poultry show when seven dozen were sold at auction at Superior. There is an egg scarcity all along the line. The American hen is one of the best wealth producers the ration has. She has not proved faithless, it is said, but the wicked egg merchants have, by covering the output and demanding unheard of prices. We have combinations in restraint of so many things that it is difficult to find anything that is not held up out of reach of those who want it and must have it. The bord of the harvest has given the abundance, but man who wants more profit than he should have, has locked up the yield. He has been doing it since 1907, and he should be fat enough to unblock it. The Richard O'Neill does not take kindly to President Taft and his nomination to succeed himself. In his second administration President Cleveland reversed his policy of giving the Negro "a square deal" because, for one thing, his party was opposed to the policy, in his second administration President Taft may reverse his policy of giving the Negro in the South the worst of it because, for one thing, we believe, he is now convinced that the Democrats he has favored at the expense of his Negro allies and friends are an ungrateful lot who are not too proud to accept favors but are too base to be grateful for them. And where is the Republican who could possibly get the nomination more favorably disposed towards the Negro than President Taft? --- Is it possible for the nation to be protected in its interests on the mighty waters by a race of candy eaters? Were John Paul Jones, Commissore Perry, Admiral Larraguat, and "Fighting Boh" Evans candy eaters? Any how, the midshipman at the Annapolis naval academy eat so much sweets that a pure food rule has been made to prevent them from buying sweets on the outside and fetching them in or having them sent into the academy, and all they buy in the academy is inspected by the superintendent not may or indulge purchase more than the dollar's worth per month. We do not understand that a man can grow strong and healthy by eating much sweets. Sweets to the teeth, and bad teeth to the good understanding of brain and body. We are disposed to be suspicious of any candy eater to be a competent commander in our navy or army or industrialism. The naval cadet hankering after candy indicates a mental and physical deterioration which may affect the fighting efficiency of the navy of the future when the greatest efficiency will be needed to uphold the national honor and prestige. Alvarez Dyerow, chief counsel for the McNamara brothers, who were convicted of blowing up the Los Angeles Times building and killing some twenty-one people, has been indicted for bribery on two counts. He is charged with complicity in the attempt to bribe a juror in the McNamara cases. The labor unions raised a large defense fund for the McNamarras which Mr. Darrow controlled. The outcome of the McNamara proceedings and convictions should be to lessen the tendency of labor organizations to gain their point in disputes with employees by violence. No cause can win in the end whose advocates appeal from the law, without exhausting the legal processes of the law, to the violence that is no law. That the State and Federal law is with the law against the labor union methods of lawlessness, is as it should be. The rights of labor union employees and of capitalist employers end where the rights of the public begin, but the two former do not so understand it; it is the urgent business of the public to compel them to do so. The demand for a State Board of Arbitration in every State, to settle the dismises of laborers and employers within the State, and of a National Board of Arbitration to control the situation which the dispute is inter-State, is so urgently needed that it cannot be much longer before public opinion will make upon the demand, being met by appropriate legislation. As matters now stand and have stood for years, the rights and interests of the public are not considered by either capital and labor in any dispute between them. "MY LARGER EDUCATION." "In his new book, 'My Larger Education,' the greatest Negro now living tolls of his experience since he became a leader in the race, which he no longer requires himself, but which is certainly his. Not only will it make a powerful appeal to all those who have read Dr. Washington's previous biographical sketch of the Negro man, but it seems a continuation of that narrative, but it will appeal to a possibly even wider circle in that it throws new light upon the progress of the Negro race, while it is a revelation of the hardships of the Negro man who is to be accounted among the ablest of his time without regard to color.

TE:1S ABCH ALLENSWORTH To the Editor of The Age I arrived in Pasadena the morning of March 22, 1909, from Norfolk, Va. I went to Altensworth April 28 and returned to Altensworth feeling highly satisfied at what I saw, and later returned to Altensworth with my family. I unloaded a cartload of eighteen cows at Altensworth the morning of March 1, 1910, and two days later I made my first shipment of cream. I have increased my herd from time to time until now my herd numbers forty mature cows, ten heifers and two bulls. I have in addition five horses and mules thirty head of hogs, and farm implements ample for all work of my ranch. My ranch has twenty-four acres, of which twelve were seeded to alfalfa on February 24, 1911, which gave me four cuttings, or four tons per acre per year, and I pastured the fifth. At this writing it is just looking splendid, but every indication of malfunction returns another year. I am now preparing 6% acres to seed to alfalfa in February of 1912. I feel safe in saying that our soil and climate is second to none in the United States for the production of alfalfa, and alfalfa heads the list as a money maker in the information of the local population in fact. It is the best mortgage lifter the farmer has, especially when marketed thorough the dairy cow. Not only does our soil produce maximum crops of alfalfa, but under actual trials it has groved itself equally adapted to the growth of all grain crops and practically every variety of vegetables. We were tried here the last two seasons with record-breaking results. Why shouldn't it when you consider that we have the benefit of the virgin soil which eliminates the painful situations that the farmer is forced to encounter in practically all the pastors, and that is, to make the soil being a place, which I can say from personal experience in indeed a handicap. Our location is indeed the result of a very wise and commendable choice, as we are centrally located on the main street of the Santa Ana city, the bustling commercial cities of the West, Los Angeles and Sun Francisco—both of which are ready at all times to gobble up everything that can possibly be produced in Allenworth. We have a colony, a hotel, school, barber shop, bakery, two religious organizations and a warehouse. The Allenworth Braas Band has been organized and bids fair for success. We have a ten-piece orchestra that is indeed a credit to the colony and indeed a teacher, we have an excellent music teacher. Our children do not have to acquaint themselves with anything that would tend to detract from their former training. We are also surrounded by a rare ranch which makes a strong demand for material than we can supply. We say to our brother eastern farmer, it is better over here than there, and these remarks are based on say, two years' experience in farm of old Virginia. We can truthfully say that we have accomplished more late in two years than was possible in ten Virginia. My advice is to come and see. Sincerely, E Z. HUNT. Allenworth, Cal. A. New and Better South To the Editor of The Asx I am enclosing our check for our renewal. You would be surprised to know how much appreciated the Age is throughout the South. As I travel from place to place and talk with the brethren, I find a host of them who would like to engage in educational work and traveling extensively in its cause. I can see great changes everywhere for the better South. Everywhere sentiment is changing in our favor. Narroweness of our mind and spirit and they die hard, but, thank God, they are dying. The white man and the colored man are getting to know each other better and to understand each other better and to feel the dependence of one upon the other.

WELLS, New York City. ‘The power of co-operation should not only be impressed upon those in New York City who speak of the calamity befallen the colored show business, hut who make no attempt to bring about more beneficial re- sults, which could be done by each person financially interesting himself for a small sum, but throughout the United States. “It seems that with us it is a case of our eyes being wide open, but we are fast asleep. And yet. we have gotten into a habit of daily complaining about the white man making all the money, when we do not take advantage of the oppor- tunities offered us. Similar conditions exist Butside of the theatrical business. There yg races in this country which do not compare with us in individual wealth, but which do less begging for charity than the Negro. Think of how ad- yantagconsly the race could use a fund formed by, say, only one-fourth of the race contributing five cents weekly? Then we could make a de- termined effort to secure all of our political and civil rights, and slurs and insults would be less frequent. Bue Iam again deviating from the realm of the theatre. Let the colored performers and playgoers do less grumbling and appreciate the xreab possibilities within the race; let everybody put aside the spirit of envy and malice which is always assidu- ously at work; let everyone bury the ambition to be a leader. and work for the good of all.

FEVER DESTROYED MY HAIR WASHINGTON, CITY, Feb. 6—The University American, the leading paper of this city, publishes the statement that an increase in Tufts Institute's endowment from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 has been asked by the trustees of the institution, and a circular has been issued setting forth the needs of the school. On the board of trustees are: Seth Low, chairman, New York City; Wrighie W. Campbell, vice-chairman, Tuskegee W. Robert; Caledon B. Bedford, secretary, Berkshaw W.; Warren Logan, treasurer, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Robert C. Ogden, New York City; Charles W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala.; John C. Grant, Chicago; Charles F. Dole, Jamaica Plain, Masa; Ramallah O. Simpson, Furman, Ala.; George Foster Peabody, New York City; Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Andrew W. Tilborn, Tuskegee, Ala.; H. H. Woollett, Tuskegee, Ala.; William G. Wibrow, New York City; William Jay Schleffele, New York City; Belton Glibreth, Birmingham, Ala.; Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, N. Y.; Frank Trumbull, New York City; Charles E. Mason, Boston. Within the past few years the trustees, looking that so great a work should not depend so largely in the future as it has in the past on the life and exertions of one individual, have sought to assume a larger degree of responsibility for the conduct of Tuskegee, in order to assure the future and continue and broaden its work. They have held an annual meeting in New York, and its executive and investment committees have also met frequently; in addition to which the whole board of trustees has held a meeting at Tuskegee in February, lasting two or three days, in order to have opportunity to inspect closely at first hand all the operations and results of the institute and to plan intelligently for it. A number have also inspected the school at the time of these meetings. It is now shown, in view of the increasing needs of the school in its work that the endowment fund should be increased to at least $5,000,000, which would enable the president and other officers to devote themselves more exclusively to the work there, instead of being obliged to take time and strength to raise money. Small gifts, for the current operating expenses, are also constantly needed. The expenses for 1911 amounted to $75,268.99, to meet which $17,317 was received from students' entrance fees, $24,511 as income from the endowment, $4,920 from the State of Alabama, and $12,315 from donations for current expenses—a total of $232,643, so that there was a deficit of nearly $43,000 which had to be met from undesignated legacies. For the expenses of the institute proper and for such subsidiary activities as the Tuskegee Negro Conference and the National Negro Business League, about $12,600 must be held each year. The burden of raising this large amount annually falls mainly upon the principal, Mr. Washington, and concludes a large part of his time and energy. The trustees feel that work of the institute is now no thoroughly established and its great value not only to the colored race but also to the nation, is now fully demonstrated, that the American people must realize that the ability and influence of Mr. Washington constitute a great national asset which should not be wasted in the comparatively important work of raising money. After the investment fund was increased from the present figure—practically $2,000,000—to $5,000,000, Mr. Washington would be free to devote the remaining years of his life to broadening and improving the great work of the institute, whose future is fraught with inexactable interest and importance to the entire country. Even the smallest amount will be gratefully received and necessarily acknowledged. CALTIMORE, MD Bramble Correspondence of THE ACE. BAXTON, Md. Feb. 7—A meeting to plan for the reorganization of Provident Hospital on modern lines, and to bring all of the colored physicists into co-operation with the active work of the hospital was held last Thursday night. After a full and free discussion of the various causes that are said to have hindered the full development of the work of the institution during the fifteen years of its existence, a committee consisting of James W. Hughes, the counsel; Prof. H. Grafton Brown, head of one of the colored schools of the city; J. H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger; Dr. H. Stanton McCurt, S. Bernard Hughes and Edward J. Whistley, was appointed to make suitable recommendations as indicated by the majority of the speakers at the meeting. The committee will report Thursday night, and a collation will follow the meeting. The hospital was founded fifteen years ago by some of the older physicians of the city. Many of the younger doctors have claimed that the older medical men did not welcome their active co-operation. It is the purpose of those who are anxious for a reorganization to hold clinics and to give doctors that hospital experience which is denied them in local institutions conducted by whites. The hospital gave an appropriation of $1,500 a year from the State. John W. Rich, head photographer in the legal department of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, is president of the board of the institution. Mrs. Lester Peterson, of Texasarka, two, superintendent of the work of the Women's Christian Temperance Union among the colored people, will arrive in this city Friday for a week's campaign against the liquor traffic.

The brick house now occupied is pleasantly located amid a bower of apple trees about one thousand feet from the street. A large frame house of eleven rooms is being renovated and repaired to meet the increased demands for accommodations. This property (aside from the brick house and seven acres adjoining, constituting the original homeestead of Aunt Harriet) represents about $10,000. Harriet Tubman's Mind Clear. "I was cordially greeted by Clapton Smith, the matron, Mrs. Smith, and Miss Nesbitt, the faithful and capable nurse of Aunt Harriet. After a few interchanges of sentiment I was sufered into the sitting room, where Aunt Harriet was resting in an easy rocking-chair. Although considerably emaciated from two years' continued illness, she was much better than I anticipated. For the reader must keep in mind that Aunt Harriet is approaching the one hundredth mile-stone, after one of the most tireless, eventful and self-scrimishing careers known in history. Her mind was clear, conversational rational, and her head grasp reminded me of her physical force and vigor thirty years ago. The past rose before me as a woman was clear, conversational rational, and her arm walking three miles to and from town, bearing the necessities of life to those within her dwelling. Over the protest of colored friends and wealthy white friends also, I saw her pursuing her course of self-denial for years, that she might bring joy to those in despair, and light to those in darkness. I saw her pressing on her way through summer's heat, autumn's blast, winter's cold, and springtime's drizzling rain. I saw her in the homestead, filled for years with thoughtless indigent young women, and the improvident and helpless aged of both sexes. No night was too dark or sacrifices too great to relieve those under her care. I found, that length of years and varied disappointments had not changed her implicit confidence in an overrueling Providence for the betterment and uplift of the race. When about to conclude our conversation, she said: "Of course you are going to make me a Christmas present." which he affirms in an affirmative manner. Just before evening prayers she lead in singing an old familiar hymn with a half a dozen inmates assisting. Aunt Harriet years ago was quite a singer and religious enthusiast. As I sat there listening to the touching melody, and watching her in particular, occasionally gleams of the great physical energy and extraordinary spiritual power that characterized her earlier years shown forth. "I was conducted by the Chaplain and his wife through the home and was favorably impressed with the unusual amount of labor expended in keeping the establishment so clean and attractive, notwithstanding the limited facilities and conveniences. Mrs. Smith and the splendid committee of ladies are deserving of the highest commendation. Noted Woman's Bedroom Bright and Cheerful. "Aunt Harriet's bedroom is southwest of the main living room and is bright and cheerful. The coloring of the walls gives evidence of good taste.

Kink-no-more will excite the thickest hair. Think about one preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, but for any day or one week, but to grow from one hair to another, nothing else will make it again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is its work that no one hardly believe their own open. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it.

Miss Nesbit, her nurse, is deserving of the highest praise for her faithfulness, and delightful manner of caring for Aunt Harriet. "The Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs by contributing $25 of the $40 needed monthly, to maintain her, are doing a work of which angels might be justly proud. They are honoring themselves, doing honor to the race and exalting womanhood; in striving to make the closing months of "the Moses of her people" comfortable. Abiding today in the Institution made possible by her wonderful personality, and in whose name it is to be perpetuated, is the greatest living heroine in America, and one of the greatest of all the centuries. Resting peacefully upon her pillow, her face radiant with hope immortal, as I said good-bye, I saw a noble career closing amid the splendors of a glorious auction room. I was a part of the colored women throughout the country, and the Federation of the Empire State in particular should see that she does not want for anything. Every dollar thus contributed is well spent. As an evidence of my appreciation of your splendid efforts on her behalf please accept my check for $10.00 handed to the treasurer, Miss Adena C. E. Minott 487 Sixth avenue." WEST INDIAN DEBATE (Continued from Page 1) proof of their superiority. Be that as it may; let us now examine of him McDonald's criticisms. Mr. McDonald agrees with Mr. DeCordova that Negroes in Jamaica are prominent in all walks of life, but declares that that gentleman has made the mistake of confounding the prosperity of the few with the welfare of the many, and then asks: 'Who are these men of whom Mr. DeCordova has spoken?' His answer is rich men, in some cases learned men; and in most cases men who do not regard themselves as Negroes. Conditions in Jamaica Same as Other Countries. "I know of no country where there is an equal distribution of its wealth among its inhabitants and where, a general satisfaction prevails, except it be rich or otherwise poor—some must be rich and others poor. No I know of any land where their is an equality of mental capacity among its peoples; some must be learned and others illiterate. If all were commercial men there would be no customers; if all were professional men there would be no clients or patients." "While admitting that the Governor bestows judicial offices and other government positions on the Negroes, McDonald says that these seeming honors are only a blind to the real conditions of the Negro in Jamaica, and in fact, it is a mere pretext to strengthen the disadvantages and injustices under which W.

In the ordinary run of things and according to the principles of clear logic, it seems to me that any honor or distinction conferred by higher authorities on a member or member of a particular race a recognition and an admission of its worth which redounds to the credit of the entire race and enhances its status as a consequence thereof. "But it appears that the sole grievance of this gentleman is the question of social equality. Good society, all all other well organized associations, lays down certain conditions precedent to entering it and imposes certain rules to regulate it, maintain its discipline and to maintain its discipline and that, too, whether it is composed of a mixed race or of one particular race. The failure of an aspirant to comply with those requirements should not be made a ground for complaint, nor should it be deemed a good cause for aliring his disappointment and chagrin. Why West Indiana Do Not Remain at Home. "It may be argued since these favorable conditions exist why don't they remain there and enjoy them instead of migrating to foreign lands? The answer is, the same rule prevails there as it does everywhere else. The average man is ambitious. When he is not seeking fame and fortune he is seeking knowledge and experience, and so his inquisitive nature asserting itself fills him with a desire to know the outside world of the West Indian, the West Indian, like the Italian, the German, the Frenchman, the Irishman and American, leaves his native shores and may be found not only in America but also in all parts of the world. "Mr. McDonald would have us believe that the honors are conferred on the favored few, that is, those who bear the singular distinction of being mulattoes. The color of the Assistant Attorney General, the newly-appointed Register of the Supreme Court, and that of one of the Resident Magistrates, numerous Justices of the Peace and scores of others holding high government positions so clearly identifies them with the Negro race that the broadest stretch of imagination and the most profound metaphysical reasoning would not lift them even in our minds to the happy medium—the mulattoes. To be charitable then, I must assert that the learned collegian is quite unfamiliar with the true conditions as they exist in Jamaica, and if he claims the contrary he must be charged with a wholesale departure from the truth. "His citation from Sidney Oliver's remarks in support of his contention contradicts rather than supports it. Here it is. 'The white Jamaican, whether foreign or Creole, has a prejudice which is scarcely to be differentiated from that of the American Negro. But it is a prejudice operative only in so far as the colored man is individually inferior to the white man in capacity and achievement. The latter being equal, however, or regarded as equal they meet upon terms of apparent equality. Manifestly this statement favors the Negro, for indicates that so long as he is respectable and is able to measure stride with the white man his color is not a bar to the enjoyment of the privileges and to accord that his white. It follows that my purpose be it white or black, some of the members of which setting up a standard of good citizenship which is in harmony with reason good morals and the notions of progressive industrial activities, may regard the other members thereof as being inferior who fail to live up to this standard, and whose views and actions are opposed to it. Mark you, not inferior in the sense of flesh and blood, but in the essentials of representative citizenship."
