MASONIC ORDER HAS BIG JUBILEE Dr. Washington the Guest of Honor of District of Columbia Masons Several Thousand Listen to Address of Educator at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church PLAN MASONIC TEMPLE Imposing Structure Soon to be Erected in Capital City—Mu-So Lil Club Entertainment Distinguished Guest SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK ACK Washington, D.C., Feb. 14—Friday was a big day for the Masonic order of the District of Columbia. The whole craft, including the ladies of the East- ern Star, turned out to honor and welcome Dr. Booker T. Washington and to push forward the project for building a new Masonic temple here which will surpass anything in the shape of a hall owned by colored Masons any- where. The principal meeting was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church at 8 o'clock Friday night, and it was a big affair from every standpoint. All departments of the Masonic order were out in full regalia and presented a most brilliant scene. In addition to the Masons there were at least five thousand other persons in the crowd who tried to make its way into the church. The building could not accommodate more than three thousand, and many were forced to go away without hearing Dr. Washington's masterful speech. The police arrangements about the church were not all that they should have been when it is taken into consideration that the people were strungling to get into a space that would only accommodate three thousand, and it is a wonder that there were not many people injured in the great crush and jam. Tribute to Popularity of Tuskegoe. The whole affair was a tribute to the popularity of Dr. Washington in the nation's capital. During the past four or five years he has addressed a Washington audience at least once a year, and instead of the desire to hear him wanna it constantly increases, and his audiences grow in numbers. Dr. Washington was introduced in a brilliant speech by Prof. Neilson E. Weatherless, Grand Master, and he was received with great applause and enthusiasm. Among the things he said: Secret orders existing among the Negro race have accomplished much toward its uplift, notwithstanding the so-called weaknesses of these organizations are referred to in an uncomplimentary fashion. They have an exceptionally strong side, a side that with a little consideration on the part of those who condemn them would receive a proper and sufficient credit. It is through the work of the secret organizations of the Negro in connection with his church, that the Negro has a large degree supported and cared for the poor and unfortunate of his race. In the southern states there are few Negro beggars, few Negro paupers. The unfortunate are cared for through the secret organizations and the church. This in a larger degree is true of our race than any other race in the same relative stage of civilization in this or any other country. I am glad to take note of the preparations to erect a large and substantial building that will be headquarters for secret organizations, and the plans to provide accommodations for business enterprises that are owned and operated by our race. This is most praiseworthy and encouraging. The erection of this building should command the hearty good will and the generous support of all our people in the District of Columbia. Building Means Much. The erection of this building will mean a new era in the business life of the Negro in Washington. In proportion to the number of black people in the District of Columbia, and in proportion to the amount of money they bundle the race here has not gone into business to the extent that is true of our brethren in the southern states. You have here a Negro population of about 90,000 That is enough black people to constitute a city within itself. This means that you have as many black people here as there are persons in Dallas, Tex. Hartford, Conn.; Lynn, Mass.; San Antonio, Tex.; Trenton, N. J., or Spreadfield Mass. I repeat, then, that you are within our race here a city within a state from the white race. There should be in operation in the District of Columbia, on the part of our race at least 2,000 business enterprises. In a higher degree in the future than the past we must become pioneers in industrial and commercial directions. There are openings in Washington with your 90,000 black people for ten architects, five banks, forty drug stores, fifty The Nation Celebrates Anniversary of Two Distinguished Americans. ABRAHAM LINCOLN FREDERICK DOUGLASS barber shops, thirty-five blacksmith shops, thirty boot and shoe stores, eighty shoemakers and repairers, 120 carpenters and contractors and builders, thirty confectionery stores, forty dentists, 160 dressmaking businesses, thirty dry goods stores, five undertaking establishments, twenty dentists, ten farmhouse dealers, 125 grocery stores, twenty hairdressers, twenty milliners, sixty trained nurses, seventy painters and kalsominers, ten photographers, 120 physicians, forty plumbers, thirty real estate dealers, fifty truck gardeners, fifty restaurants and twenty variety stores. Handle Enormous Sums. I note in this city that our people who are employed by the government handle $3,000,000 at least annually. We should see to it that a large proportion of this tremendous sum is carefully and permanently invested in business enterprises. In Birmingham, Ala., with 52,000 Negroes they support three banks, in Memphis, with 52,000 Negroes they support two banks, in Richmond Va., with 47,000 Negroes they support three banks, in Nashville, with 30,000 Negroes, two banks, in Jacksonville, Fl., with 29,000, three banks, and Jackson Miss, with 6,000, supports two banks, certainly you ought to be able to do as well in the District of Columbia. In the public schools here you have unusual opportunities to secure education of the best kind for your children. I know of no 90,000 black people anywhere in the world who are provided with such excellent public schools as are the 90,000 black people here. Your children should not only receive an education in the abstract, but they should learn to combine that education with the practical, everyday affairs of life. At the head of your school system stands Howard University, an institution that is sending out every year an increasing number of useful men and women to serve their race and their country. "It is interesting to note to what an extent our people in Washington support and attend churches. At least $150,000 every year goes into the support of these churches. I am glad to say that you set an example that the rest of our people throughout the country would do well to follow. I repeat, I is largely through the work of the secret organizations such as you represent and of the churches that the unfortunate of our race are not in any large degree dependent upon the charity of the public." Banquet at Magnetic Hall. Prior to the meeting at the church Dr Washington was the guest of the leading members of the Masonic order at a banquet given at the Masonic Hall on 19th street. At this function addresses were delivered by Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, who is a Mason; Past Grand Master Robert H. Terrell, Past Grand Master W. H. Grimshaw, Past Grand Master Jones of Maryland, Grand Commander Burnett, (Continued on Page 8.) STILL INSISTS THAT THE COLOR LINE IS DRAWN Morgan College Student Has More to Say About Jamaican Conditions PREJUDICE AGAINST BLACKS Statements of Sir Sidney·Oliver and S.A. Gilbert Cox are brought into Preset Controversy. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Everett, Mn., Feb. 13—Thaddeus I. McDonald, a student at Morgan College, who is one of the principals in the controversy now being held between native Jamaicans relative to conditions Jamaica has issued a statement in reply to his critics who take issue with him that there is a color line in the West Indies. Mr. McDonald says: "The statement of Mr. R. Roger Melbourne refuting my charge that there is color line in Jamaica and that the blacks and mulattoes do not enjoy the same social and political privileges is to surprise me, for this question is an old one, and one upon which Jamaicans differ. The gentleman has admitted the differences of opinion concerning this subject, only he claims that those persons who say that there is a social and political distinction between the mulattoes and blacks of the island are the ignorant Negroes. "I may call attention again to the statement made by His Excellency the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Sydney Oliver, a white man, in the article entitled The White Man's Burden at Home, published in the New York Herald, and dated May 25, 1905: "The recognition of the mulatto race socially and politically as equal with the white and cordial welcome of colored men and women into all avenues of trades and professions has created a mutual bond between the all Negro and the pure white races, and this bond saves the colony from the distinct cleavage and consequent friction which would otherwise exist." About the Judicial System. "I would like to call the gentleman's attention also to the statements of the Hon. S. A. Gilbert Cox, LL. B., published in his paper, printed in Jamaica entitled 'Our Own,' and dated May 15, 1911. 'In our judicial system the conditions which obtain render it next to impossible for the average black man to appeal to the Supreme Court, no matter how much he may have been wronged in the resident magistrate's court.' Mr. Cox further states: 'In the appointments of resident magistrates 'o preside over the courts which principally hear and determine the counts of the black population, regard is had upon social and official influence of the punishment to the bench instead of that punishment by reason of long prison time and many have been appointed who are known to be full of prejudice against the black race. "It is equally worthy for us to note here that as soon as when I was in Jamaica that I was not a black man among that prejudiced personnel of resident ministers to whom Mr. Cox referred; that were all white and colored men, when the statements of His Excellency S. Sydney Oliver and Mr. Cox we can easily see that it is not only the ignorant Negroes who share in the opinion that there is a social and political distinction between the blacks and mulattoes in Jamaica. "I am very glad that Mr. Melbourne replied to my article as he did, for by so doing he has given me a chance to express more clearly my views concerning the conditions of the Negro in Jamaica. I am not contending because the man of color receives more recognition in Jamaica than the full-blooded Negro—God forbid it! It makes no difference to me what a man's color is; to me he is a man and deserves the rights and recognition of such. If my statement of January 25th gave rise to the opinion that I am seeking to augment any estrangement that may exist between the peoples of Jamaica I beg to apologize, for I firmly believe in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, because I believe in this divine principle. I feel it my duty to denounce any violation of it. Condition of the Masses "Mr. Melbourne asserts that my statements are ridiculous, misleading and false; but no matter how true the gentleman's statements may be, he has agreed with me that the much boasted advantages of the Negroes in Jamaica are limited to the few and that the masses of the people are in a deplorable condition, when he says: 'In Jamaica the mass of the population is composed of Negroes, and with the masses there are, the world over, penury and tenorance.'" "According to Mr. Melbourne's philosophy, of society, it seems as if he thinks that the exclusiveness of the privileged classes and the ignorance and pessy of the masses are indispensable for its welfare. The gentleman knows where in his article quoted his opinion so me his knowledge of the subject seems to cease with the rise of the system. Those of us who have the privilege beyond that period have the death knell of Mr. Melbourne uttered those immortal words: 'Liberty, equality and fraternity,' which took form in the Declaration of Independence. "Never in the history of the world has the demand of the masses been so universal in their effort to break down the strongholds of the privileged classes and to hit themselves out of their ignorance and poverty. It is not necessary for me to say any more on this subject since Mr Melbourne agrees with me that the masses of the people in Jamaica who are Negroes, are in ignorance and petrory, conditions which must make them wretched. These conditions should appeal to every Jamaican, who ought to exert every possible effort to ameliorate them instead of treating them and frequently." REGIMENT PARADES Place Wreath on Statute of Abraham Lincoln at Union Square—Soldierly Appearance of Marchers Commented on. Before a large crowd of soldiers composed of colored and white people the New York Provisional Regiment paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln Tuesday by playing a wreath on the Lincoln statue in Union Square. The marcher nearly five hundred strong gathered in front of the statue and Capt. W. T. Richardson introduced May Henry H Blunt, who spoke briefly on Lincoln. Then the band played "America" and Col. Fillmore placed the wreath in the monument. The members of the colored regiment assembled at Columbus Circle at Hollock, and marched to the Lincoln statue. They presented a soldierly appearance as they marched through the streets of the city, and favorable comment was frequently heard. Several companies of the Boy Scouts paraded with the regiment. The young soldiers from New Rochelle, about fifty in number, were in uniform and equipped.

Well Known Minister Resigns as Pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church Resignation to Take Effect April 1.—Dr. Brooks in the 51st eighth Year as Pastor of Congregation. Last Sunday morning during service Dr. William H. Brooks appointed to the members of St Mark's M. L. Church that he had tendered his resignation as pastor of the congregation to take effect April 1. Ill health was given as the cause for resigning. Dr. Brooks is one of the ablest and best known colored ministers in New York, and his resignation has occasioned no little comment. About a year ago he gave notice that he intended to give up the pastorate of St Mark's Church, but after much persuasion he still is considered by his determination. Mr. Brooks has been honored to receive the honor over Dr. Brooks's latest achievement in the charge in April. Last Thursday evening at the fourth quarter's conference when Dr. Brook informed the stewards that he was going to return in April, several new members were elected on the stewards' board now composed of the following: Anthony Lee, Samuel C. Snowden, William O. Terrich, George H. Foster, Joseph I. Pritchard, Samuel Gurnell, John H. Miller, Robert P. Braddock, Walter T. Davareen, Rodertick Dever, William R. Rivers, Daniel Mason, Luther B. Jones, David W. Parket, George W. Mills, John Knight, Sylvester H. Woodson, Hayes L. Pryor and John S. Maxwell. The question of filling the place to be made vacant in the spring by Dr. Brook's resignation has not been taken up by the congregation as yet. THE AGE AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM Fraidus & Co.

In the death of Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, educator and diplomat, which occurred at Sierra Leone, West Coast Africa. Thursday, February 8 & the Negro race loses one of its foremost scholars' and Liberia its most widely known citizen. Dr. Blyden was 79 years old THE LATE DR EDWARD W. BLYDEN as his death. He was born in the Danish Island of St. Thomas in the West Indies in August 5, 1832, and was baptized as a member of the Dutch Reformed Church, to which his parents, who were of pure Negro stock, belonged. Were eighteen years old he came to the United States to enter an American college, but every college refused to favorably on his application for admission, and in 1850 he sailed for Liberia, entering the Alexander High School at Mchrawa two years later. While at the Alexander High School he took a course in mathematics and classes, becoming a teacher of the school in 1855. In 1851 he was appointed a professor of languages in Liberia College, which had just been established, and made an enviable reputation. Five years later he took a leave of absence and visited Egypt and Palestine, and while on his trip improved his knowledge of Arabic. Returning to Liberia Dr Blyden resumed his duties at Liberia College until 1871, when he resigned and visited Europe. About this time he was appointed by the Brunsh Government as diplomatic agent to make treaties with the Mohammedan and pagan chiefs of the interior tribes of Africa. He completed his work in three years' time and then took charge of the Alexander High School. In 1877 Dr Blyden was appointed Minister Plemanseiary by the Liberian Government to Great Britain, serving three years, and upon returning to the black republic was made President of Liberia College. In 1884 Dr Blyden resigned as the head of the college and took up independent educational work among the Mohammedans at Sierra Leone. He was appointed Liberian representative at the Court of St James in 1892. He was Secretary of State and Secretary of the Interior in Liberia, and in 1862 visited the United States as Commissioner from the Liberian Government. Dr Blyden was an authority on Arabic, and also spoke French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Greek and Latin. He was author of several books, and in 1863 after the publication of his work on Liberia he received the honorary degree of A.M. from Hamilton College. In 1870 Lafayette College conferred on him the degree of D.D., and coln University.

SAVANNAH YOUTH IS REPRIMANDED Students at Taft School I disagree With Him on Negro Question RADICAL VIEWS OPPOSED Young Southerner Did Not Favor Students of Institution Giving Contribution to Negro School James A. Garfield, Jr., Leads the Fight Against Georgia and Urges Young Men to Aid Negro Education. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR WATEYTOWN, N. Y., Feb. 13—How a student from Savannah, Ga., and the only southerner at the Taft School started a row because of his radical views on Negro education, and the stinging rebuke administered him by the other students only a short time ago has just come to light. It is said that the young man from Georgia was so severely reprimanded for his attempt to atone racial prejudice that he will keep quiet on the Negro question during the rest of his stay at the Taft institution. The Taft School in Wettertown is conducted by Horace W. Taft, a brother of President Taft. It is an exclusive institution for young men who prepare for Yale, and about two hundred are enrolled. Principal Taft has always encouraged Negro education, and a short time ago a young colored man who is at the head of a small school in the South spoke at the Taft School in the interest of his institution. Penipal Latt arranged for the young Negro educator to speak before the school composed of young men who not members of the four highest classes. The young southerner persisted in asking the lecture and attempted to persuade others to remain away, but to no good purpose. A few days after the lecture, the members of the club held a business meeting at which time James A. Garfield, Jr. grandson of President Garfield, and president of the club, introduced a motion to make a contribution to the southern school of which the young colored man is president. The student from Sagamish objected to contributing one cent to the Negro school and tried to keep the other students from giving anything. Young Garfield urged his fellow students to send the school a contribution, and his pleading were listened to by the young men collecting quite a neat sum which was given to Principal Taft to be sent South. The young southerner bitterly resented the attitude taken by the other students, and declared that he was opposed to Negro education. ROSS SUCCEEDS GRIFFIN New Head of True Reformers Assumes Duties—Former General Secretary Burrell Thinks Order Can Be Rehabilitated Within Five Years. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE RICHMOND, VA. Feb 13—Floyd Ross, Vice-Grand Worthy Master of the True Reformers, and Chief of the St Louis Division, is now the head of the order, succeeding the late W. R. Griffin who was accidentally killed in a railroad wreck near Fordo, Va., last week. Mr. Ross assumed the duties of Grand Master this week. The news of the death of Grand Worthy Master Griffin came as a great shock to the members of the order throughout the country. The deceased had been at the head of the True Reformers since last fall and spent all of his time toward rehabilitating the order. Funeral services were held over the remains from the Third street A. M. E. Church last Thursday, and were attended by the prominent members of the order. W. P. Burrell, formerly General Secretary of the True Reformers, was a visitor in New York this week and commenting on the accidental death of Grand Master Griffin Asherd that the order loses a member who had its best welfare at heart. Mr. Burrell viewed the remains of the deceased shortly after the wreck. "Although I was one of those entitled last fall when Mr. Griffin and a new set of officers were elected, yet I was on good terms with the deceased," declared Mr. Burrell to a representative of Tirz Aqz. "While he was Grand Worthy Master he appointed me on several different committees, and I cooperated with him to the best of my ability. "The onlook for the rehabilitation of the True Reformers is good. Under the leadership of the new Grand Worthy Master, Floyd Rose, if a conservative policy is pursued, the order should ultimately get on his feet. There is a debt of $100,000 to be wiped out, which should be done within the next five years." - Attendance Helper' Association will entertain Monday, February 19 Junior Holy Name Society will meet night in the hall Our new Harlem Church, the Rev.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age. The Federal grand jury, at Indianapolis, has, it is said, indicted forty labor union officials and agents for complicity in some one hundred dynamite outrages committed during the past six years. Some of the indicted men are already serving sentence. The Federal authorities will yet have legal authority to indict mob wrathers who lynch and burn people "without due process of law." Colonel William Jennings Bryan, "the old man of the Platte on the old back of the old Democratic party." has a cabbage farm in Texas, which is said to be yielding him $400 per acre. The malicious Philadelphia Daily Record sneeringly says: "Once the idea gets abroad that Mr. Bryan takes all he can get for his cabbages there will be those who will suspect that he would not undersell Rockefeller should he strike oil on his Texas form." --- The Negroes of Baltimore do the correct thing, as reported in the last week's issue of The Ace in fighting the separate waiting room proposition inaugurated by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The Baltimore and Maryland Negroes have developed a fighting streak" for their rights, which may be stamped as "gilt-edged." Example is a thing contagious, and a contagious good example is the thing the Negro should most desire and hold fast when he has got it. The Hon. Robert M. La Follette hit his chance of nomination for president, with a 20,000 word speech at the banquet of the Periodical Publishers' Association, at Philadelphia, Saturday, evening, February 3. It took two hours and a half, from 11 p. m. to 1:30 a. m., to the deliver 20,000 words to the publishers, with a ringing denunciation of the newspapers at the conclusion of it. The next day the senator, it was announced, was a dead political candidate, and would retire. "One more unfortunate, rashly important!" Sunday afternoon. February 4, at Macon, Ga., and while many churchgoers were on the streets or in the houses of worship, a mob of white men carried the dead body of Charles Powell, who had been lynched at 4 o'clock in the morning, through the public streets, for over a mile, to a field in the midst of a populous Negro settlement, and burned it to ashes. There were 500 of the mob wrathers, and the police did not interfere with them or their ghastly work. The Negroes in the neighborhood locked themselves within their houses. They will not always do. That some day they will wake up and face the mob with fire and sword and dynamite. The man was accused of rape; the mob are guilty of murder in the first degree, "without due process of law." The report of business progress made by the race during the past twelve years, as shown by the statement of Professor Charles H. Moore national organizer of the National Negro Business League, published in this issue of last week, should encourage the race everywhere not only to support Negro business enterprises more and more, but to add to the 25,000 business places we now have as openings appear. The fifty-two banks, with a capitalization of $1,500,000, which last year did $20,000,000 of business, and the forty insurance concerns, with $1,500,000 business last year, will grow in number and capitalization and money handled in the next ten years more rapidly than in the past ten years, because the foundation has been laid, because the people have been taught how to do it, because the people have before their eyes "the evidence of racism been not heard." Cover the truth with Negro business enterprises and edge in one wherever there is an opening in the North and South. The way to do a thing is to do it. "If we do not make business openings for our children, whom we are educating every year who will?" could be a question ever present on PRESIDENT TAFTS SOUTH- ERN POLICY. THE AGE is flooded with letters from its readers protesting against President Taft's Southern policy, as outlined in a recent issue of The Outlook, in an authorized interview, and in the actual working of the policy, which has filled the Federal offices with white "Lily Whites" and white Democrats, who have shoved the Negroes, who have been Republicans from their youth aside, and who are not expected nor, in many instances, allowed to take an active part in the District and State Conventions to select delegates to the June convention of the National Republican party, in Chicago. The situation has become one of the utmost gravity for the Negro Republicans in the South, which the Negro Republicans of the North and West are constrained, by the political policies that menace them, to regard as one of the utmost gravity for them also. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and an injury to one of the links is an injury to all of the links of the claim of citizenship and party rights, privileges and immunities. We are bound to say that the Negro Republicans of the North and West have always regarded the question from this point of view, and have denied and sacrificed themselves and their political rights and preferment to support their viewpoint; but the Negro Republicans of the South have done nothing of the sort—they have not denied and sacrificed themselves and their political rights and preferment in anything. And this is one of the main reasons why they are in the desperate political situation they now are. The referees, the "Lily Whites," the Democrats, have all come into control of the Republican party in the South by and with the consent or unprotested acquiescence of the Negro political leaders of the times, for a dollar here and a small office here. The gravity of the situation, as it has been reduced to an absurdity, and below which it cannot be reduced without shutting the Southern Negro Republicans out of the Republican party as effectually as they are shut out of the Democratic party in the South, is forcibly set forth by the following extract, from one of the many letters we are receiving on the subject, written by one of the most influential Negroes, not a politician in the South, who says I write you on matters political. The Negro in the South can be most effective in the National Convention; the Negro in the North can be most effective at the political stage along certain lines we can be of help to each other. For the past decade the white officeholders in the South who in reality constitute about all the white officeholders in the North, with the possible exception of Tennessee and Kentucky, have been crowding the Negro off the state committees, filling his place with white postmasters and other office holders, the Republican National Committee. I think you will agree with me that the thing has gone entirely too far, and we doth not protest enough. It is not bad to look back at it, but the situation no little if it our papers in the North and West would take up the fight, as the various states will soon be choosing their delegations to the convention. South, who hold all the offices and are also taking all the places on the delegations and committees. They brazenly assert that the Administration and others in the South confess that we are all National conventions in the past results have so borne thus out. I am of the opinion that if it were shown to those in minority so hard to believe, it would be by the Negro would resent it at the polls, they would call a halt. There are some of us in the South who are awake on the matter, and if you will help us to overcome the last ground before the battle, 1912 is over. When the movement was started to get the Negro off the front seat in the Republican party in the South, the White office holders, claimed that it would build up the party, would attract other white people to it. Well they have all the reins in their hands, and gave them powers. themselves the Republican party is weaker here and everywhere else than it has ever been. There is nothing in the argument gave a perpetuation of a certain class of affluent and powerful favor or for dealings the regular Democrat here is our main reliance. THE AGE does "agree that the thing has gone entirely too far". THE AGE has done more than that, it fought the wrong when it was first spring in the second administration of President Harrison, in 1901, by Colonel William Youngblood, National Committee for Alabama, at the instance of President Harrison, and THE AGE has been fighting the wrong ever since, and is fighting it now. That is the difference between THE AGE and the Negro politicians who are now crying over what they gave away or sold from 1876 to 1901. Now they have nothing, but THE AGE has yet to protest against the wrong which it has never given away nor sold for dollars or office. General Powell Clayton, one of the old stalwarts, who consorts with but does not believe in the "Lady Whites," in protesting against Southern representation at the recent meeting of the National Republican Committee, in Washington, stated the case with so much truth and feeling that we reproduce a part of it here as follows: "In this connection, I am able to show in round numbers, based upon the census of 1910, the Negro popula- use in some of our northern and countyful states, namely: Massachusetts, 28,000; Connecticut, 18,000; New York, 134,000; New Jersey, 18,000; Pennsylvania, 194,000; Ohio, 111,000; Indiana, 169,000; Illinois, 169,000; Kansas, 169,000; Maryland, 232,000; total about 1,295,000. "The colored people of these and other states would be more than inhuman if they did not resent at the polls such rank injustice, which, together with their brothers in the South are enduring the hardships they justify in them making terms with the party into whose keeping their rights seem already to have been relegated. "The efforts to, change the rule of apportionment do not appear to have been successful, nor even with the local conventions that appoint delegates, but with the delegates themselves." President Taft should understand—and in the recent series of White House conferences with prominent Negro Federal officeholders residing in Washington, he seemed to show that he appreciates and desires to understand—that General Clayton spoke the truth as to how the Negroes in the Northern and Western states feel about the policy of freezing them out of the councils of the party, and out of Federal offices in the South, where they would be offensive to white Democrats, who have no more right to dictate Republican policies than black Republicans have to dictate Democratic policies. That they present the Southern policy of President Taft the Negroes of Greater New York show, by at least one half of them, who are enrolled as Tammany Hall Democrats. These 50,000 votes for a Democratic candidate for president are liable to defeat the Republican candidate in 1912, as the L200 defeated Mr. Blaine in 1884. Discontent with President Taft's Southern policy, and with the Republican policy in the Northern and Western states among Negro Republicans is not sporadic, isolated, but general, concrete and aggressive. And what has President Tait to gain by a Southern policy that will gain the party not one electoral vote in the South, and that may lose the party the presidency because of discontent of Negro Republicans, as General Clayton has shown, in eleven states, West Virginia also being in the column arranged by General Clayton? There can be no Republican party in the Southern states with the Negro left out. Can there be a Republican party successful in the nation with the Negro Republicans of the Northern and Western states discontented at home, or resentfully voting against the party on election day? The statistics of the Negro voters of those states do not indicate any such thing, but the reverse The Ace carnely desires the renomination and election of President Taft, but we are handicapped by the Southern policy of the president and the recent blunt restatement of it in The Outlook's interview, and by the determined purpose of the "Lily White" officeholders in the South to freeze the Negro Republicans out of the party. They cannot be frozen out of the Republican party in the Southern States, without having them freeze toward the Republican party in the Northern and Western states. We trust President Taft will give this matter certain consideration. Col. Henry Watterson of the Louisville "Counter Journal," having "skimmed alive" Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, as an aspirant for the Democratic nomination for president, has buried himself and his myriadic editorial smile in his winter home in Florida, but Colonel George Harvey of Harper's Weekly, who helped Colonel Watterson to do it, still floods Franklin Square with black ink and winks the editorial eye, which is "cuter by far than Eric Earl's" "Heathen Chime." The editorial pen is not a safe weapon for those to run up against who want to kog everything with no credit to others and try to do it. The fall of Governor Wilson as a candidate has been made all the more painful by dispatches from Trenton, saying that he has just gushed his throat with a razor while shaving himself. What will the barber vole think of such a Democrat, too stingy as governor to encourage the barber industry. The chivalric white ruffians of Hamilton Ga., who lynched Bertha Hathaway and four others, because some unknown person killed a young platter by the name of Hadley, while he was in the act of forcing his unwelcome attentions upon Bertha Hathaway, are of the ruffianly chivalry which was ridiculed out of Europe by the writ of Cervantes. How will it be got out of the Southern states? Will the crime of it hatch the death of it? Perhaps. This truth cannot be contradicted nor whistled down the winds that white men who will protect white womanhood and degrade black and colored womanhood have educated a race of black men who refuse to tolerate the wrong. Call it the Dunbar theater, our new one to be built in Harlem. As often as recently If comes around, and we stand by the grave of Abraham Lincoln, and review the glory of his living and the tragedy of his dying, we feel, in the language of his Gettysburg address, that "we here highly resolve that these heroic dead shall not have died in vain, and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth." The anti-slavery struggle, begun in 1816 by Benjamin Lundy, one of the bravest and fiercest waged in history for the emancipation of slaves, not by them but by brothers of the same father, so to speak, ended in the death of Abraham Lincoln, April 15, 1865. The Negro people began their life as freemen with the death of Abraham Lincoln, as the arms of Grant had given force and effect, to the Emancipation Proclamation before the bullet of the assassin had done its cowardly work; it is for them, then, each return of February 12, to examine the ground they have covered, to take stock of their possessions, as freemen, as citizens, for the purpose of satisfying themselves that they have lost nothing and with the hope that they have gained much in all that makes for strength in American life, in American citizenship. It is a time for self-examination. Mr. Frederick Douglass used to exclaim: "Do not judge us by the depths from which we were digged but by the heights to which we have risen"; a very eloquent sentiment, but we shall lose the wisdom of it if we forget the depths, as men are prone to do, and spend most of the time measuring the heights. There is a growing tendency among us to celebrate Lincoln's birthday with spectacular parades and elaborate banquets, that cost a great deal of money, and out-of-doors entertainments of a money-spending and money-making sort, instead of with sober-sided review of the life and times of Mr. Lincoln and the progress the race has made and isinking to justify the vast sacrifice made of blood, of money and of property, to give us the freedom and citizenship which are ours, and the tendency should be checked. There was but little sunshine in the life of Abraham Lincoln, there was but little sunshine in the life of the Nation from 1776 to 1860. All of us should know the reasons for that. EDWARD WILMOT BLYDEN. The death of Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden at Sierra Leone, West Africa, announced in London cablegrams of February 8, at the age of seventy-nine years, will be received with profound regret by the Negroes of the United States, the West Indies and a large portion of Africa. Along with the late Bishop James Theodore Holly of Hayti and Bishop Crowther of Africa, Dr. Blyden long stood at the head of the Negro scholarship of the world—Negroes without the admixture of white blood. Dr. Blyden had a hard struggle to secure an education, but he succeeded and mastered, besides Sanserit, many of the native languages of Africa. He wrote many books and pamphlets and delivered many lectures on one and another phase of African character, manners, customs and religion. Although a Presbyterian clergyman, he leaned, in his later years to the Mahommedan religion as being best adapted to the highest development of the African people, he included strongly in this direction in a lecture delivered before the Lieutenant legislature in the mid-winter of 1909. Dr. Elydon held many and high positions of trust in Liberia, and at one time represented that country as minister to the Court of St. James, but he was never very popular in his adopted country, in which he always remained a West Indian, a foreigner, a British subject in thought and sympathy. On this account he had more success with the native Africans than with the American Negroes of Liberia, and was, in 1871, employed by the British Government to make treaties with the Mahomandan chiefs of inland Africa. We met Dr. Blydon first in 1878, in Washington, and on the subsequent trips he made to this country, the last about 1001. He was not a large man, but very simple and cat-like in movement, his voice was low, soft and insinuating, and he had the nervous, restless eye that do not remain fixed upon any object for long. His nature was secretive and suspicious, as if he were always seeking to avoid being 'taken unaware, and on that account he did not invite the confidence of others. We have been expecting it, and it has arrived Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank of Indianapolis announces that he will be a candidate for governor before the Republican State Convention of Indiana. As governor, he says, he would continue the fight against trusts and combines, which he has conducted as mayor to cheapen the cost of food stuffs to the people. We dare say Mayor Shank will be nominated. He must be as popular in the rest of Indiana as he is in Marion county. With Shank in the running the candidate of the Democratic party had as well not start in the race. THE TRIAL OF THE MOS WRATHER. So far in 1912 Georgia alone has a lynching record of eight people, one of them a woman of good reputation, because of the attempted seduction of whom a white brute was shot to death from ambush, and because of which the young woman and four others were done to death by mob wrathers. There were seventy-one lynchings in the whole country in 1911, as compared with 184 in 1885. The greatest number, 255, occurred in 1892; the fewest, sixty, in 1906. Of the seventy-one lynchied last year seven were white and sixty-four black, one a woman. Georgia heads the list with nineteen. Pennsylvania is the only Northern state represented in the record of horror and shame. Senator Hoke Smith was governor of Georgia last year when the lynching record was made. He will have to wear the record as a badge of infamy around his neck as long as he lives, and it will descend to his posterity as an inheritance. Like the curse of Cain he and they of his name will not be able to shake it off. Acting Governor Slayton is making a similar record. He may not favor the mob wrathers and their methods but he has not turned the executive power of Georgia loose upon them. Nemesis is sleepless; it will have blood for blood, justice retributive. The nation, the state, the group of individuals of the nation and the state, the individual, who gets on the trail of justice will have justice get upon their trail, and the farther away from justice they get the closer will justice get to them. The mob wrathers who defy and break the laws of justice, of orderly process, which they have themselves made for themselves and those of the nation, the state and the individuals of them will find justice, their laws, torn upon them, so that they will have calamities from within and the distrust of mankind from without. It was that way with the slave power; it was that way with the Ku-Kluus Klan power, it is becoming that way with the mob wrather power. The whole nation has become infected with the microbe of lawlessness which breaks out upon the slightest provocation, in altercations between individuals and labor strikers; while over and through it all hard times—high prices of food, scarcity of labor, hunger, gold, destitution and death—walk through the land as the angels of vengeance walked through Sodom and Gomorrah, and left them desolate. Justice, at least, is even handed. NO MONOPOLY OF INDUS- TRALISM. In another column we have reprinted from the New York World a description of the way in which women students in Cornell University are now studying agriculture. Anyone who reads the daily papers carefully will constantly, run across items that show that, both in the North and in the South, a resolution is taking place in the matter of education. A few days ago a telegram from Chicago announced that, in the Lucy Flower High School in Chicago, every girl is now required to take a course in underwriting. The Principal of this school, Miss Dora Wells, says "I was trained to teach Latin and Greek. Now I am interested in cooking, music, drawing, sewing, laundry work and designing. I believe that through work you can get as much culture as through academic subjects." In the University of Cincinnati students in engineering now spend half their time in the shops and the other half in work in the various manufacturing shops of the city, where they are employed, as they are at Tuskegee, in productive work. The State College at Athens, GA, maintains at the present time a staff of fifteen "agricultural drummers," that is men who are doing work similar to that done by Mr. Calloway, Mr. Tate and Mr. Rakestraw of the Extension Department at Tuskegee. These fifteen men devote all their time to the organization of what are known as "extension school" for farms in different parts of the state. They also hold farmers' institute meetings, co-operate with country teachers through teachers' institutes, organize boys and girls corn and canning clubs, and organize breeders' clubs in order to improve the live stock of farmers throughout the state. Plans are now being formulated to extend this sort of work to white farmers all over the South. All this indicates that the time has gone by when the Negro will have a monopoly of industrial education in the South or elsewhere. The Atlanta Independent of January 20 announces that its editor Hon. Benjamin Jefferson Davis is slated as the next Grand Master on the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows." Indeed? And who slated, him, the Odd Fellows of Georgia? Perhaps. We shall see how the "steam roller" will work a second time. And the "Hon.", how did Mr. Davis come by that? The unusual strength developed by the Socialist party in the last election, when they made notable and substantial gains in all sections of the country, even in the Southern states; the outspoken demand of the New York Daily Call, the Socialist newspaper, that the Negro have fair play, a square deal, not only in the Socialist party, but in the whole life of the American citizenship, and the prediction that the Socialist party will steadily grow in favor among Negro voters, especially in the Southern states; all has tended to attract the attention of Southern white editors, and to draw from them some declaration of their present sentiment and future purpose on the Negro question that may not otherwise have been expressed, and that it should be good for the Negro people to have. It is a good thing always to know what the enemy is thinking and doing, if there is a determined purpose to thwart him, in the effort to despoil others of their rights as citizens or their goods as men. It is truly remarkable how intimately the whites of the South, especially their editors and politicians, know about what Negroes are thinking and doing, and how little the blacks know, or appear to care, especially their editors and politicians, about what the whites are thinking and doing. This may be due to the fact that the ordinary Negro, who works for the average white man, spends much of his time telling the white man what the Negro people are thinking and doing, while the average white man tells the ordinary Negro nothing of what he and his are thinking and doing. "The will not wake up," said President Jefferson Davis to an Englishman, at Richmond, during the war, pointing to a Negro snoozing on a bale of cotton. And Benjamin Jefferson Davis, the black editor of the Atlanta Independent, forty-eight years after, would have us believe President Jefferson Davis to have been a prophet instead of a prejudged Pat. The Columbia (S. C.) Daily Record, discussing the position of the Socialist party as set forth by the New York Daily Call, says. The opinion now held by a large portion, probably the majority of the whites of the South—which opinion is acquiesced in by a respectable number of whites, and which thing like this, to put it crudely and broadly: "It was a cruel mistake, one even more unjust and mischievous to the Negro than to his white neighbor, to put the bait into the hands of the criminal, to mistake, cruel, unjust and mischievous to all concerned, though krim necessity was its source, to nullify that political enfranchisement of the Negro, by disfavoring it, and disfavoring ways: What should have been done long ago was to repent the Fifteenth amendment regularly, and give the Negro to understand that, while he was to enjoy perfect freedom, he need never hope for political equality again, in theory or reality." This being the majority sentiment among Southern whites, it is interesting to note that Socialist leaders appear to include the granting of full voting rights to all white men in the program for social readjustment. If that is one of the purposes of the Socialists—though it is not yet declared as such in their national platform, if one remembers aright—that one feature of the Socialist program has more than merely academic concern, it is clear that the South do not believe it is proper to speak of the Negroes as "people of the commonwealth." Most of us think it was never intended they to be so considered, and we do not concede that the attempt as a war machine against blacks, praised at all the wisdom, justice or expediency of that enfranchisement. The Santer Defender, in a strong editorial disposes of the contention of the Unit Record, in admirable temper, maintaining that the Negro was given the ballot after the South had adopted the black code, after the war, for his self-protection, and far from being a mistake was the most just and wise thing that could have been done, that "the self-preservation of the whites in South Carolina was never so much in danger during the eight years of Negro participation in the government as it has been during the rule of the demagogue for twenty or more years or as it is at the present time", that the ams and interests of whites and blacks are identical, and that the Negro ignorance is his greatest crime, to which add poverty, both remedial by the Negro himself. As a matter of truth, the Negro is overcoming slowly the handicap of ignorance and poverty, notably in South Carolina, and he is bound to increase, as Santon did with the growth of his hair, in strength, as he overcomes his two principal handicaps. But the Daily Record does not appear to look at the problem in that way "We of the South," it says, "do not believe it is proper to speak of the Negro as people the commonwealth." A "marathon based on "persons" not "people" as the Federal Constitution provides, on character, intelligence and property, not race and color and previous condition, is what the Daily Record and the people of South Carolina should think about and labor for. It is unfortunate for South Carolina that its responsible rulers and newspapers should think about and labor for disfranchising and debasing its Negro population to the condition of social and political pariahs, whom the constitution of the United States comprehend and as co-equal citizens of the United States and of South Carolina. Those who cultivate trouble for themselves on the race question find it after many days, as the slave power did. "The Irish want Home Rule!" "The Irish do not want Home Rule!" And to settle the question Ireland has been fighting itself and keeping British politics boiling for centuries. The Irishmen in Great Britain and the Negroes in the United States are on the horns of a like dilemma; they will not get what they want until they determine among themselves what they want. What President Lincoln said at Gettysburg applies still in all directions, that "a house divided against itself cannot stand." There is nothing more dangerous than the endless chain nuisance. You get a note with a request to pass it on. You may not care a rap about the note and what it relates to. If you pass it on you become responsible for the consequences; if you throw it in the waste basket you break the chain and become responsible for the consequences. This is the theory. The Roosevelt League of New York has sent 20,000 copies of a letter to as many Republican voters in the state, with three post cards enclosed in each letter to be passed to friends, on the plans of an endless chain. Desperate efforts are being made to create public opinion favorable to the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt instead of President Taft at the Chicago convention; but none of the efforts are creditable, because Colonel Roosevelt is on record, made after his election eight years ago, that he would not seek or accept a third term, and because, thus far, he has not announced that he wants the nomination or would accept it if offered to him. The popular drift is toward President Taft. The radical Progressives are not having matters all their way. The conservative sentiment of the country is making itself heard and felt, and should have sufficient reserved power not to be overcome by headstrong radicalism. THE CALL TO ARMS How many of our brave men would respond to the call to arms if a crisis arose where it was necessary to demobilize our forces, to arm our courage, efficiency, intelligence and capabilities for self-government. The recruiting stations could not enlist the men fast enough! They would be flooded with applications for enlistment. Among our ten million people there are thousands and tens of thousands of true, loyal, ambitions, energetic, intelligent citizens hungry for the chance to be involved in them! To prove beyond further question to all unbelievers that the Negro of to-day is not the Negro of a day long past. That to-day he has risen beyond the stage of dependence. That to-day he has a fair chance: he can and will do. The call to arms has gone out the length and breadth of this great land. The time has come to buckle on the sword of determination and enlist in the great cause. Let 'Forward' be our sword of determination and let 'Beworth' be our tether ground. There we have come into our own. There we have the equal opportunity the fair chance for which our hearts have yearned. There we can advance our cause and prove to our enemies that we possess the strength and brains that cannot be deceived. We will be our own and the watching world will be with respect to the noble men of our race, who, at Alensworth, write a page for future generations to read with pride and joy. The Call to Arms' Will you answer Will you answer booklet on Alensworth can be secured to writing Haline & Monk, 988 Security Blvd. Los Angeles, Cal Tribute to the Late Bishop Gaines The tidings of the death of Bishop Galtes give me a sense of distress loss, as I recall the character of thus true man of God, his worth to the Church, and his remarkable record for righteousness. His kingship, I had cherished the hope that he might live many years and achieve a place as counselor and guide in the church which the revered Bishop Palme held for many years. Knowing him both as pastor and as a man of faith, he was a stainless record of this man of God and to his character, that through the years of close association as neighbor and friend in Atlanta I can testify was above reproach. The example of such a man for probity, purity and righteousness, he has devoted to every interest of the church he poured out his life without measuring the cost. He has left behind him an enduring monument, not only in institutions of learning and in churches he has built, but also in his life through all the years as a sage and help to all who knew him. WILLE P. THIRKELD Faithful and True From the Farmville Herald is glamed a touching incident concerning the faithfulness of a colored man who took the folks. During the time of the Civil War, many indies, who lived on man eighty-acre farm near Farmville, Jeff Hudson, a worthy colored man" looked after their comfort, cut their firewood and in other ways helped their indies. Those (awarded indies ideas) did in their will they rewarded this faithful colored friend by giving to him their entire farm. He now lives upon the land, and still well guys. "No race problem there, no bitterness between members of different races." There are others like Jeff Hudson in Virginia to-day; there are more like him in an unreturning yesterday's earlier history. -Richmond Times-Dispatch FREE CORNER LOT IN ALLENSWORTH VALUE $300.00 BISHOPS' ENDORSEMENT The UNITED BOARD OF BISHOPS, comprising the A.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, Feb. 6—One thing can be said of our Southern neighbors, and that is they are greatly interested in the education of their children. They are determined that the coming generation shall be educated and have a fair chance in the world. Therefore, throughout the South the Negro population are greatly interested in education and are determined at any price and at all sacrifice to build their own educational institutions if the state will not do it for them. The South cannot exist one-half educated and one-half ignorant, any more than it could with one-half tree and one-half slave. One of the largest and most flourishing educational institutions in the South is Rust University, located at Holly Springs, Miss., under the management of the Freedmen's Aid Society, which own and operate twenty other schools in the South. For more than forty-five years Rust University has stood as a beacon light, and has proved to be a real saviour to the Negro race. Located as it is in the center of the black belt, its influences have gone out in all sections and its graduates have gone into all quarters, and everywhere have proved to be men and women worthy of this great institution. The patrons and friends, of christian education are now making a special rally for an endowment for this grand old institution. Last year the Methodists of Mississippi raised about $2,000 dollars for this purpose, and this year they got so enthusiastic over the matter that at the conference recently held in Corinth, Miss., they voted to tax every lay member fifty cents for the endowment of Rust University. This resolution was adopted unanimously by the conference and amid great cheers and applause. This will mean that if every pastor is faithful to his work, by this time next year the university will have a cash endowment of about fifteen thousand dollars. Many of these pastors are working for small salaries and the people have been suffering from the small crops of cotton and the low prices but they have made up their minds that the greatest factor in the building of the race is the Christian school. Therefore, they have stood by it. This is an indication of great progress in the South and it means a greater victory for our people. This year Rust is having its banner year. It is crowded to overflowing with students from seven different states, and it has a faculty of about thirty teachers selected from the best universities North and South and under the efficient leadership of the Rev.

White men have asserted that they favored the disfranchisement of the Negro, because he was unreliable and venal, but on a whole they have not been able to justify the assertion and most sensible people, both white and black, know that the elimination of the Negro from politics is due to other causes. The white man is determined that the Negro shall not be allowed to hold office, if there is any possible way to prevent it, and that way is to FIVE NER LOT VALUE ENDORSEMENT Mobile, Ala., Feb. 7, 1911.

S. GKANT Death of Rt. Rev. Mgr. Burtell A great priest of the Catholic Church and a true friend of the colored people died in Kingston, N. Y., Sunday, February 4, the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Burtell, 181. His career in the church extended over forty nine years and included his work as assistant to Vicar General Preston at St. Annis as founder and pastor of the Epiphany, and as permanent rector of St. Mary's in Roundout, and dean of Ulster County. He was known as a linguist of great ability and as a deep student in moral and dogmatic theology and particularly in canon law, in which his decisions were accepted all through the United States as of the very highest authority. Dr. Burtell was pastor of the Epiphany Church on Second avenue in 1850, when Father Thomas Farrell died at St. Joseph's Church on Sixth avenue and Waverly place. They had been great friends and had many sympathies in common, among which was one for the colored people. Father Farrell left in his will $5,000 to start a fund for providing a church for the exclusive use of the colored people and made Dr. Burtell and Dr. McGlynn his executors. Dr. Burtell took up the idea with enthusiasm, made collections in various churches, obtained donations here and there, the procured the ediccistical supervisors, and in 1858 purchased the old St. Benedict's Church in Bleecker street. This is only one instance of means which might be cited of his kindness towards the colored Catholics of the city of New York, and so in his death they feel that they have lost an old friend. His funeral will take place in Kingston on Thursday and will be attended by Cardinal Parry and all the dignitaries of the archbishop. Judge Alton B.

New and divers political lesions are arising which will necessitate another strenuous fight next spring, and the Negro stands as divided as ever.

THEATRICAL COMMENT If it was left to me the following sign would be installed at once in all the vaudeville houses, and the rule rigidly enforced: "All persons are respectfully requested to remain seated until the end of each act. Do not leave the theatre during the middle of an act." At the Crescent Theatre some of the patrons have gotten into the habit of leaving their seats in the middle of an act, thus annoying the performers and inconveniencing those who desire to see the performance. Tuesday evening at the little Harlem House about ten persons indiscreetly, left the theatre before an act had finished its skit. They made such a rumpus that the performers themselves hardly knew what they were saying, and those in the audience knew less. I have always noticed that if one person gets up and leaves the theatre while an act is on the stage there are always at least six more who do likewise. There is but one way to put an end to this unnecessary annoyance of performers and patrons, and that is to make it a rule that no one will be allowed to leave the theatre until the end of each act. They are simply wild about vaudeville and motion pictures in Harlem, and although the weather has been extremely cold in New York for several weeks, the ardor of the colored Harlemite for the latest theatrical craze has not been chilled. The Crescent Theatre has been playing to capacity, and the people do not seem to mind standing in line for an hour before getting into the theatre. The two principal acts at the Crescent Theatre this week are the Griffin Sisters and Prof. John Woods. The Griffin Sisters are playing a return engagement and are repeating their former success. They have one new song, entitled "The Last Shot Got Him," written by McPherson and Smith, which is effectively sung by the heavyweight member of the team, who gets about like a lightweight. Prof. John Woods can bill himself as a professor of ventriloquism without fear of being told that he should advertise himself as just plain John Woods. He uses only one figure, which represents a humorous darkey character, but he keeps his audience in an uproar from the beginning to the end with dialogue and song. From The Ace correspondent at Austin, Tex., the following piece of news was received this week: "The bars of discrimination were let down in this city last Tuesday evening when Emile Nelson appeared at the Opera House in a white cast which presented "Over Night." This is the first time in the history of Austin that a colored person appeared in a speaking part in a white show." Last December when Manager Brady informed the members of the company that they would soon leave New York for a tour of the South, taking in Texas, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia and Arkansas. Emile Nelson called on the stage manager and asked, when his resignation as a member of the company was wanted. He explained to the stage manager that the whites of the South did not favor colored performers appearing in white casts, and declared that he did not relish the thought of posing as an actor before the footlights in Mississippi. A conference was held with Manager Brady relative to whether a white man should be substituted for Emile Nelson on the company's southern tour, and it was decided to present the same cast in Texas, Georgia, Alabama and the other southern states as appeared in Providence, R. I., Brooklyn and other northern cities. Emile Nelson was not enthusiastic over taking the trip, but concluded to remain with the company—the temper of the southern playgoers permitting. Although the Over Night Company is in its third month in the South there has not been a single demonstration against the presence of a colored performer in a white cast, and the critics have been disposed to treat Emile Nelson respectfully. Even the Atlanta Constitution had a word of praise for "the mulatto steward." I have before me a review of "Over Night" appearing in the Honouston Post, which is somewhat puzzling to me. The mystifying paragraph reads: "A fine bit of make-up art is that supplied by Emile Nelson as the colored steward." Now is it possible that the critic really thought Emile Nelson was a white man made up as a colored man? The successful appearance of a colored actor throughout the South in a white cast may appear of little import to many, and there are some who may be inclined to ask what it is all about. True, the colored performer in question may not be known from coast to coast as a thespian of great histrionic ability, and it is hardly possible that he could stage a piece with sufficient dramatic skill and finesse as to arouse the jealousy of David Belasco, but those who attach some significance to the little incidents in life will have no difficulty reaching a conclusion, after taking into consideration the temperament of the majority of white in the South on the main question; that Father Time has wrought a change for good in the southern states when a colored actor can ap- pear nightly for three months with a white show in the leading playhouses of the southern states without occasioning adverse comment or undue excitement.

TU$KEGEEAN THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: For the Johnson Amusement Company's new theatre, I suggest the comprehensive and generic name—The Tuskegeean. It stands for all that is greatest and best in the Negro-American. MARSHALL L. SHEPARD. Winston-Salem, N. C. HOGAN THEATRE. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: I suggest the name of The Hogan Theatre or The Unbleached American Theatre for the proposed new theatre in Harlem, for Ernest Hogan was one of our greatest amateurs and one who did his best work colored man to the front on the stage. Respectfully yours, MRS. S. E. RINGGOLD, Atlantic City, N. J. EUREKA THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: Why not name the theatre to be erected in Harlem The Eureka. It is an English word, which means I have found it. Then colored bushings of New York City have grounded for a suitable plot of ground for an up-to-date theatre for a long time. Respectfully. ANDREW JACKSON, Dannemora, N. Y. WALKER THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of the Age, I wish to suggest a name for the new national theatre that will be erected by the Johnson Amusement Company. I wish to suggest the name Walker, a character from the late George W. Walker, because I think that his name should be remembered by the colored race. EQUALITY THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age, I am somewhat interested in the proposed theatre to be built by the Johnson Amusement Company, I being the first person to name a theatre after any of the great men of our race. When I named the theatre at Columbus, (O), The Dunbar, in honor of our great poet. Knowing your city as I do theatrically and being aware of the very many disadvantages the Negro has been subjected to in regards to discrimination and colonization in all thetheatre, my opinion is that no better name could be given that would have no particular bearing and would be offensive to no race than to name it The Equality Theatre. When you think it over it covers all the obstacles that have confronted our race in thetheatre. W. H. SMITH Chicago, Ill. SUGGE8T$ FOUR NAMES. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: In answer to the invitation extended to the public to propose a name for the theatre to be erected by the Johnson Amusement Company and managed by Negroes, allow me to suggest The Walker Theatre in honor of our much beloved George W. Walker. In reading a sketch of his short life we find that it was always with him onward and upward. He never believed in giving up the struggle, and the name alone would mean progress. The second name I would suggest is Ernest Hogan, who did so much to uplift the colored theatrical profession, and who was an untiring worker. My third choice is Crispus Attucks, who made a fight for liberty in 1773; and last, but not least, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, America's greatest Negro poet. Very truly yours. MRS. J. O. DURBIN, Boston, Mass. OPTIMUM THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: In compliance with the general invitation to colored Americans to send in a name for the new theatre, permit me to offer the name The Optimum. In offering this name I have in mind a vision of optimism in many ways regarding us. First, we have come through a long period of time; from the incipiency of creation when the Great Creator say that it was good and we being among the created must have been good. Step by step have we passed by due process of evolution from the positive to the competitive degree and with eyes of faith beholding the bright star of hope in the distance, and recognizing the crucial test through which we are now passing, let us hall the name Optimum as indicative of the best that is in us. The best theatre of its kind, the best performances and performances; the best management and business methods, the loftiest ideals and as a tangible evidence of the colored Americans' programs.

TUFF WHITNEY Leading Comedian of the Southern Smart Set Company. IN THE WORLD OF SPOR Wholesale Release of Players in Cuba Wholesale Release of Players in Cuba News has reached New York of the wholesale release of colored ball players hailing from the United States by the management of the Fe Club of the Cuban National League, which occurred several days ago in Havana. Those figuring in the "grand bounce" act were "Rule" Foster, manager of the Chicago American Giants; Pitcher Dougherty; First Baseman Grant; Catcher Pierce, Second Baseman Barber, all of the American Giants; Wallace, captain of the St. Louis Giants; Catcher Santop, of the Lincoln Giants, and Sol White, the "Grand Old Man" of organized colored baseball. The places of the released men were filled by Cuban players. When the Cuban National League opened in December the players who are seen in the United States during the summer on the Cuban Stars refused to play because the club owners wanted to pay them a salary instead of permitting all players to figure in the gate receipts, as had been the custom. Finding the Cubans unwilling to play the management of the Fe Club sent to the United States for colored players, and some of the leading colored players in this country responded to the call. The league opened with the players from the United States on the Fe team, and everything was running smoothly when the striding Cuban ablade but they were willing to ablade by the new rules made by the club owners and asked to be given a chance to play in the league. Then the release of players from the United States took place. "Rube" Foster, who passed through New York on his way to Chicago, and in talking to the sporting editor of The Age about the release of the players from the United States, declared that the Cubans had done the released men a rank injustice, as they had gone to Cuba at the solicitation of the Cuban club owners and had been promised work for a certain length of time. Havanaa Lead Cuban League. There are three clubs in the Cuban National League, namely the Havanares, Almendares And the Fe team. The Havanares up to last week had won seven games and lost one, with a percentage of 875. The Almendares were second, having won three and lost four with a percentage of 428, while the Fe team had won one and lost seven, with a percentage of 142. On the Havana nire are Moran, second base; Hill, left field; Lloyd, short base; Hudson, right field; Fergus, first base; Herrero, center field; Taylor, pitcher; Pareda, pitcher; Pettus, catcher. On the Almendares are Mursana, second base; Burke, center field; McIntyre, right field; Craig, third base; Parpetti, first base; R. Garcia, first base; Cueto, catcher; R. Valdez, left field; Pedroso, pitcher; Romanach, short stop. The following paragraphs from the Havana papers will perhaps be of interest to the fans in the United States. Home Run Johnson is just like whiskey—the older the better. The Havana Reds have scored 59 runs in 8 games, an average of 7.25 runs per game. Any team can beat the Havana Reds nowadays—provided they can score more runs. But where's the team? Pottus leads the league, so far, in batting. In six games he has clouted the pill at the rate of .454 which is some hitting. Lloyd's fielding cannot be improved. He had 16 chances on Monday and accepted all but two. He can cover lots of ground and then some. When the Fe team had poor fielding. Redding was goog fine, and now the fielding has improved. Redding can't find the plate. Havana will drop from her place just as soon as Johnson, Lloyd, Pettus, Padron, Petway and Hill enter into a batting slump, and just as soon as Williams breaks his pitching arm, and that's liable to happen any minute, maybe. Alphas. 18: Lincoln. 15. At the Manhattan Casino Monday evening the first team of the Alphas scored a victory over the quint from Lincoln University, but the boys from Pennsylvania did not lose by a one-sided score, the game resulting in the local team's favor, 18 to 15. It was only in the last part of the game that the Alphas were able to rain a three-point lead over Lincoln, which was held to the end. The line-up: Alpha..... Lincoln. A. Thomas..... R.F..... Royd A.

"Sam McVea, coming heavyweight champion of the world." This is the way McVea is having his cards printed nowadays, which goes to show that the fighter really believes that some day he will gracefully carry about with him the championship title. From Australia a few days ago there came to The Age office, through the courtesy of Billy McClain, McVea's manager, newspaper accounts of the fight between Langford and McVea, which was pulled off in December at the Rushcutter Bay Stadium, in Sydney. Within the last week the New York daily papers have been reproducing accounts of the McVea-Langford fight from the Sydney papers, and in the majority of instances a protest is made because McVea was given the decision, many contending that the decision should have been a draw. As fully McClain sent the clippings which tell of the fight, all I have are reports favorable to McVea. The Fairplay, a sporting magazine, gives an account of the contest by rounds. However, space will not permit the entire reproduction of the article, which I am running in part: "Twenty thousand citizens, by voice and action, entered their emphatic protest against the attacks of wowserdom on the grand old sport of boxing, at the Rushcutter Bay Stadium on Tuesday morning, and gave twenty thousand sound arguments in favor of the popularity of the game, and twenty thousand endorsements of the attitude of the Government in refusing to be bulldozed by the hypocritical killjoys who tried to intimidate ministers and force them into unjustifiable interference with a popular pastime, of which they, the killjoys, are blankly ignorant. The crowd was representative of all classes, all creeds and walks of life.

FOR THE BEST Theatrical News READ The New York Age --- --- A SAM McVEA cheered as they swept, handsomely dressed, to their scat on the flat. There were Cabinet Ministers, members of both Houses galore, and fierce, Speaker-defying Liberals shook hands cordially with tame Laborites and wished them a happy New Year. Barristers, grave family solicitors, doctors, young and old, sportive and sedate, rolled up in scores, while a cosmopolitan air was imparted by the airwaves of several comics and a number of weirdly-trowned Americans, fresh off the Marama, from Vancouver. "In the ring the band of the Scottish Regiment played fine. For once the backneyed term 'appropriate musse' was appropriate." "It was close up 10 o'clock when a couple of stalwart, white-bellied poliomen were seen forcing a way through the throng for Sam Langford, and a mighty cheer greeted the merry, broadly-smiling little Hercules, who stood in mid-ring to bow his acknowledgments all round. He was attended by Duke Mullens, Colin Bell, "Liver" Davies and another. "McVea soon followed, escorted by Billy McClaim, Tom Mitchell (the ex-lightweight champion of N. S. W., who has settled in Fristleman). Mark Higgins and Alf Goodwin, while Peter Felly towered aloft in his high office of Chief Lord of the Sacred Umbrella, his charge being an immense specimen of the vividly-colored and multi-covered Japanese variety. McVea's bathrobe was of carnary and orange stripes, so the corner, despite the sombre hue of three of its occupants, wore a gay appearance. The other Sam contented himself with a dull gray robe and an ordinary black umbrella as a protection from the blazing sun of a beautiful summer morn. "The twentieth. Langford fought gamely, but as one who knows the futility of his efforts. Bar a marble at the corner of the right eye and a slightly split lip, McVea was as good as new, and simply hit when he wanted to, and at the gong Referee Baker placed his hand on his shoulder. "A tremendous burst of cheering drowned the hoots of a crazy minority, and the referee was freely congratulated on his verdict. And yet, leaving the ground, and afterwards at the Gaiety, one was confronted with vehement statements that the award was wrong. They were utterly groundless, and can only be attributed to that chivalrous feeling that makes most people blind to facts when they whoop for the little 'un—the underdog. McVea won from here to Parramatta, and that's all there was to it. "Langford cracked his form before the contest, and when he entered the grounds was cheerful and confident; but, to my mind and eye, he carried from 7 to 10 pounds of useless beef around his middle, and I thought, as I saw the rolling vehicles above his belt as he bent over, that his claims in England that he could make middle-weight were not so absurd as some smarties seem to think. He could easily get near it, anyway, for he was undoubtedly above himself on Tuesday." ```markdown ``` MUSICIANS WANTED A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY JOHNSON AMUSEMENT CO. 247 W. 46th Street News of Greater New York MANHATTAN AND WRONX ALL ADVERTISING MATTER Must be In The Age Office not later than Tuesday evening, 5 p. m.

Report of President Thirkirkil Shown That Institution Is in Prepossessive Condition — Many Improvements Have Been Made. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 14.—The semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Howard University was held this week with Justice Job Barnard, President of the Board, in the chair. The Board of Trustees, comprised of a number of the most distinguished men of the District with several members from other States, were present as follows: Chief Justice Stenton J. Peele, the Rev. Charles Wood, the Rev. Chas H. Richards of New York City; Justice Thomas d. Anderson, Justice George W. Athkinson, Dr. John R. Francis, Dr. J. Grimke, Dr. Booker T. Washington, William V. Cox, Henry M. Baker, Dr. J. H. N. Waring, Dr. Marcus Wheatland of Newport, R. L., John T. Emlen of Philadelphia, Pa., Hon. J. C. Napier, President W. P. Thirkield, Secretary Goe. Wm. Cook and Treasurer E. L. Parks. The report of President Thirkield shows continued prosperity in the university, which is the only institution in the nation where the Government directly touches the education of the Negro, and the equipment of teachers, physicians, lawyers, and the training of moral and industrial leaders for a race of ten millions. The president commends the large student body for good order and devotion to scholastic work. With over 1,100 men enrolled, most of them rooming in the city, no serious case of intraction of law or order has been reported. The Deans on Sunday meet their departments in the study of the Bible, and classes in Bible Study and religious work are regularly conducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He reports a fine expression of the religious experience of the students as shown on Christmas Eve, when nearly fifty spent several hours singing carols and Christmas hymns about the campus and through the wards of the hospital, and in the alleys of the city. The attendance in the College of Arts and Sciences has shown a four-fold increase within five years, and the faculty has increased from seven to twenty-four. A decided advance has been made in the Department of Engineering, made possible by the completion of the new Hall of Manual Arts and Applied Science. For the first time such courses in an institution especially for colored men are available in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, with competent instructors from the engineering departments of leading universities. These courses enable the University to meet the demand for the skilled mechanic and engineer. The report also notes the eager response of the student body to the new facilities now offered in chemistry, physics, and biology, as seen in the fact that nearly seven hundred students are regularly instructed in these branches, with practical laboratory work offered in each department. This practical scientific work now requires three professors, one assistant professor, three instructors, besides seven student assistants. The emphasis has been shifted from the traditional to the modern basis of education. It has often been said that while colored students were proficient in the languages, history, etc., they showed no marked adaptation to the sciences; but the eager response of the great body of students to the opportunities here for the first time offered in any large way for laboratory work in the exact sciences reveals their adaptation to these lines of study, and marks an era in the educational life of the Negro race. CONFERENCE IN ALABAMA. Special to Tenn New York Acr. CORONA, ALA., Feb. 13- About three hundred farmers, ministers and teachers attended the first Negro conference, held under the auspices of the Corona Normal and Industrial Institute, in response to a call issued by Principal M. H. Griffin, "Improving the Churches and Schools and Widening Their Influence" was the subject for open discussion the first day, while "How to Make Farm Life Attractive to Young Men" was the subject for discussion on the second day. A great amount of interest was manifested in the proceedings, and the discussions, were attended with a show of interest that was gratifying. Besides the discussion of subjects by a large number of the farmers attending the conference, addresses, were made by W. T. B. B. Williams, of Hampton, Va., field agent of the Slater and Jeanes Fund Boards; Dr. C. O. Boothe and Dr. B. F. Riley, of Birmingham, Ala. The organization of the conference, which will be an annual, event hereafter, was perfected by the election of the following officers: J. R. Nall, president; R. S. Sykes, vice-president; M. C. Cooley, secretary, and Fred D. Edmondson, corresponding secretary. Strong resolutions were adopted, in which shortcomings of white and black were condemned and attention called to methods of better living that would bring about fruitful relations between the races. BALTIMORE MD. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 14.—Attorney W. Ashie Hawkins has practically won his contention before the Public Service Commission that steamboat lines using the Cheesapeake Bay, discriminate against its colored patrons in the matter of staterooms and meals. W. Cabell Bruce, counsel to the commission, handed down a decision a few days ago upholding the right of the commission to investigate the complaint. When the hearing was held the attorney for one of the offending steamboat companies said that the matter of unequal accommodations for the races was one for the criminal court to determine under the "Jim Crow" law, but Mr. Hawkins declared that the commission had ample authority and the decision of the counsel upholds his contention, and the discriminations may be discontinued. W. A. Hunton, Brooklyn, N. Y., an international secretary for the Y. M. C. A. was in the city last Thursday. He expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the project to build a 100,000 building for the local association.

Joseph Fennell, the druggist, is able to be out after a long illness. The tunnel of Dr. Charles Fox, one of the oldest dentists in the city, was held here a few days ago. The ninety-fifth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, the grand old man and champion of human liberty, occurred Tuesday. He was born in La Porte county, Md., February 14, 1817. He was brought to Baltimore at an early age, and bound out to a family named Anuld. Having learned to read and write, he soon learned to abhor his enslaved condition, and ran away to the North. He finally attracted the attention of leaders of the anti-slavery cause, and soon became one of the foremost orators at abolition meetings. After the emancipation one honor after another was bestowed upon him, and he died in 1895, one of the most honored men of his time. Always a tighter against race prejudice, and himself a great example of the possibilities of the Negro, an article on the "Color Line" written by him and which appeared in the North American Recipe, of June, 1881, may be interesting to those who think of the prejudice that the Negro has to undergo in this country today. "Few evils," he says in the article, "are less accessible to the force of reason, or more tenacious of life and power, than a long-standing prejudice. It is a moral disorder which creates the conditions necessary to its own existence, and fortunes itself by resisting all contradiction. It paints a hateful picture according to its own diseased imagination, and distorts the features of the fancied original to suit the portrait. As those who believe in the visibility of ghosts can easily see them, so it is always easy to see repulsive qualities in those we despise and hate. Though 800 years have passed away since Norman power entered England, and the Savon has for centuries been giving his learning, literature, his language and his laws to the world more successfully than any other people on the globe, men in that country still boast their Norman origin and Norman perfectiones. The superstition of former greatness serves to fill out the shriveled sides of a meaningless race pride which holds over its power has vanished. "Statesmen of the South will tell you that the Negro is too ignorant to properly exercise the elective franchise, and yet his greatest offense is that he acts with the only party intelligent enough in the eyes of the nation to legislate for the country. In one breath they tell us that the Negro is so weak in intellect and so destitute of manhood that he is but the echo of designing men, and yet in another they will virtually tell you that the Negro is so clear in his moral conceptions, so firm in his purpose, so steadfast in his convictions that he cannot be persuaded by arguments or intimidated by threats, and nothing but the shotgun can restrain him from voting for the men and measures he approves. They shrink back in horror from contact with the Negro as a gentleman, but like him very well as a barber, waiter, waiter, coachman and cook. As a slave he could ride anywhere, side by side with his master, as a freeman he must be thrust into the smoking car. As a slave he could go into the first cabin, as a freeman he could not go aft the wheel. Formerly it was said that he was incapable of learning, and at the same time it was a crime against the State for any man to teach him to read. To-day (1881) he is said to be originally and permanently inferior to the white race, and yet wild apprehensions are expressed least six millions of this inferior race will somehow manage to rule over thirty-five millions of the superior race. If inconsistency can prove the hollowness of anything, certainly the emptiness of the pretense that color has any terrors is easily thorn. The trouble is that most men, and especially mean men, want to have something under them." and Hair Tonic Combined the Hair soft and pliable.

Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So unrivalled does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own egres. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the way like it. We offer a wizard of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will step it from falling out: positively move dandruff hair, remove it from hair, remove hair and keep it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guard ante to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded.

"Uncle" John Ambler, personal bodyguard to Commodore Perry on the memorable voyage which opened the ports of China and Japan to the commerce of the world, and for more than thirty years a familiar figure in the post-bellum hotel life of the city, is dead. John H. Ambler was born in Washington November 19, 1827. At the age of 15 he shipped on the Mississippi, Commodore Perry's flagship, which left Norfolk on her memorable voyage to the East, November 24, 1842. He was said to be the first Negro to enter a Chinese port in a steam vessel, "Uncle" John," whose memory for historical dates was accurate, was fond of describing the entrance of the Mississippi into the Bay of Yeddo, and the passage up to the city of the same name. One of his most cherished relics of the voyage was a piece of sail from the Mississippi, with which he bound several of his favorite books. ROCHESTER, N. Y.
