VOL. XXV. No. 23. ADMINISTRATION STANDS BYLEWIS Wickersham Fights Attempt to Remove Negro From Bar Association Attorney General Tells Members that Executive Committee is Acting Beyond Its Power DISAGREE WITH COMMITTEE Mary Lawyers Who Do Not Favor Color Discrimination Write Letters in Response to Wickham's Appeal. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5.—The action taken by Attorney-General Wickersham in the defense of William H. Lewis. Assistant Attorney-General, whom the executive committee of the American Bar Association seeks to remove as a member six months after he had been elected, merely because he is a colored man, hias merited for Mr. Wickersham the praise of every Negro in the country. Incidentally it has merited praise for the administration. To many men Mr. Wickersham's attitude points to the abandonment of the alleged Southern policy which has been erroneously construed as precluding the appointment of any colored man to office in the South because he is colored. It is understood here that when President Tatt was shown how this alleged Southern policy, had been misinterpreted by subordinates he was amazed, and in the action taken in behalf of Mr. Lewis, which must have been with the President's knowledge and permission, it appears that a clear and defined stand has been taken by the administration that under no circumstances shall a man's color be a bar. The stand taken by the executive committee of the American Bar Association against of the ablest colored lawyers in the country, and one holding the highest position in the Federal Government to which any colored man has yet succeeded, is indefensible and without law, rules or regulations to sustain it. Not only have colored men praised the administration. Attorney-General Wickersham and Mr. Lewis, who absolutely refused to resign his membership when he was requested so to do by the usurping executive committee, but white men, who live far play and admire ability, even though within a dark-skinned citizen, have expressed their praise of the stand Mr. Wickersham has taken, and at a time like this it took real courage for a white man to stand up and defend a colored man in such a contest. Mr. Wickersham's Letter Following is the letter sent out by Attorney General Wickersham to the members of the American Bar Association. Washington. Feb. 5. 1912. Office of the Attorney General. To the Members of The American Bar Association. Gentlemen: Mr. W. H. Lewis, a member of the bar of the State of Massachusetts and an Assistant Attorney General of the United States, was elected a member of this association by the Executive Committee on August 1, 1911, at the invitation of the secretary of the association, and upon the written nomination of the vice-president and members of the local council of the State of Massachusetts in conformity with the provisions of Article IV of the constitution. He qualified by making payment of the annual dues as required by Article V. The term of office of the executive committee expired, and a new committee was elected at the annual meeting in 1911. Two of the members of the committee so elected had not been previously members of the committee; the remainder had constituted part of the committee. In January, 1912, the new executive committee undertook by resolution the cancel the election of Mr. Lloyd and place his name on the persons proposed for membership to be voted upon at the annual meeting, basing this upon the statement that he was elected the executive officer did not know he was a man. Protest was made on Mr. Lloyd's behalf, but the committee declined to reconsider it. A copy of the correspondence with the secretary is not annexed. Subject of the association is in the constitution to be amended the science of jurisprudence to promote the administration of justice upohid member of the profession of the encouragement cordial inter-communication of the members of the Bar." person" is declared to be the membership "who shall shall for five years next have been a member of any state, and shall beinated as herematter portion of the executive would in effect arbitrar- these provisions by add- proviso to the following 1. GEORGE W. WALKER, ERNEST HOGAN, and "BOB" COLE after whom the new playhouse, THE WALKER-HOGAN-COLE THEATRE, to be erected in West 138th street, New York, has been named. that the election of any member may be cancelled by the executive committee, whether the committee who elected him or one subsequently chosen, whenever a majority of its members object to the race, color or other characteristics of such member, no matter when those members may ascertain the facts concerning such characteristics. It can hardly be contended that such action tends to "uphold the honor of the profession of the law and encourage cordial intercourse among the members of the bar." It certainly does not tend to promote the administration of justice. Under the circumstances, Mr. Lewis' only redress is to appeal to the membership of the association to protest against the injustice done him in their name by the committee which has arrogated to itself a power not conferred upon it by the constitution or by laws, in order to gratify a race prejudice entertained by some of its members. As the head of the department of the Federal government in which Mr. Lewis holds an honored position, and as a member of this association, I beg every member who disapproves of the course of the executive committee to sign and mail the enclosed postal card, and to take such other steps as he may think proper to prevent the proposed unlawful expulsion of Mr. Lewis from the association. Very truly yours, Geo. W. Wickersham. Many members have, acting upon the advice of Attorney-General Wickersham, written letters protesting against the unlawful expulsion of Mr. Lewis. TO MAKE A CHANGE Negroes of Mississippi Decide to Secure More Representation on Republican State Committee—To Demand More Recognition at District Conventions. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE VICKSBURG, Miss., March 5 - The Negroes of Mississippi have formed a tacit agreement to bring about a big change on the Republican State Committee and are making preparations to accomplish their purpose. They are tired of the State Committee being dominated by whites, although the Negro Republican in Mississippi outnumber the white Republicans by a very large margin. At this time the majority of members of the Republican State Committee of Mississippi are white. The members of the committee are chosen by district conventions, electing three from each district. It is the plan of the Negroes or the district conventions to elect one colored man and one white as delegates to the State convention, each district convention electing two colored and one white as members of the State committee. EPIDEMIC AT COATESVILLE. Specialist in Tux New York, Azz. COATESVILLE, Pa., March 5—Poison and fever are playing havoc here. Over three hundred persons are critically ill and many deaths have resulted. The authorities are very muchplexed over the strange fever and illness in Coatesville. It is thought that the people are suffering from ptomaine poison, while several physicians think that something is the matter with the water. RESIST ORDER TO DISBAND Negro Citizens Reuse Fund and Aid Colored Firemen, Who Have So Far Defeated Mayor and City Council. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. ASBURY PARK, N. J., March 6.—The efforts of the new Democratic administration to do away with the Eureka Fire Company, composed of Negro firemen, are being bitterly fought by the colored citizens of the well-known summer resort, and to date the Negroes have blocked every move of the Democratic Mayor and City Council to put the Negro fire company out of business. As the matter now stands the colored citizens have secured an order from the Supreme Court ordering the Mayor and City Council to show cause why, they should not be permanently enjoined from disbanding the colored fire company, and the case will be called for trial March 20. Testimony is being taken in the interest of the firemen, and so determined are the Negroes of Asbury Park to thwart the unlawful plan of the local administration, that they have announced intentions of carrying the case to the highest courts in the land if they lose in the lower courts. The presence of a colored fire company in Ashbury Park has always been a churn in the side of the white firemen here. When West Park was annexed to Ashbury Park about six years ago the white firemen soon made known that they were opposed to the colored company, and a few months later the City Council passed an ordinance eliminating the Eureka Frie Company from the regular fire department. Democrats Dominate New Administration Despite the actions of the City Council the city has continued to maintain the colored organization, remodeling the engine house and equipping the company until the first of this year, when the new City Council, which is dominated by Democrats for the first time in the history of Asbury Park, issued an order that the colored firemen move out of their building by February 1 and turn over all city property to the local authorities. Had this order been at once observed the colored firemen would have had to give to the city, a new hose weapon costing $950, harness and horses. The attitude taken by the Democratic administration was taken despite the fact that the Eureka Fire Company is a regular organized volunteer fire company, having a charter from the State and many of the Negro firemen having exempt fire- men's certificate issued by the city. Following the action of the City Council a committee of Negro citizens met and organized to fight the order, and authorized the Attorney T. A. Spraggips of Jersey City. No difficulty has been experienced in raising funds to contest the order in the courts, and so far the firemen have been successful. Indications are that they will finally win out, which will be a big defeat for the local administration. The Negroes of Asbury Park do not sit idly by and submit to discrimination on account of color, as was shown last summer when they compelled the Beach Commission to provide a place on the beach for colored bathers. OLD GUARD AT WAR Morris, Johnson, Davis and Other Odd Fellows Are Now Quarring, Much to the Delight of Thousands of Members Who Want to See New Men at Head of Order. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5 - Odd Fellows throughout the country are watching with interest the fight now going on between Grand Master Edward H. Morris on one side and Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson and Ben Davis on the other, with lesser lights of the order taking sides with both warring factions. Conditions have changed mightily since the holding of the B. M. C in Baltimore in 1910, and those opposed to boot and mismanagement are elated to learn that the members of the "Old Guard" are at war, as it will mean a new and prosperous era for the Odd Fellows when the B. M. C is held in Atlanta next September. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Ben Davis feel deeply hurt because Grand Master Morris left for Australia recently without informing Deputy Henry Lincoln Johnson of his departure. The two Georgians claim that the members of the order have been grossly insulted by Morris conduct. They charge that the Grand Master drew his money from the treasury of the Old Fellows a year ago to make the trip and claim he has never earned the money; that Morris also drew his pay six months in advance. Johnson and Davis are even going about wishing that there was some way in which they could declare vacant the office of Grand Master Morris. Upon Morris' return to America it is predicted that those now on the inside will participate in a red-hot fight which will result in the passing of the old regime. FOR THE BEST Theatrical News READ The New York Age DOCTORS WRITE ABOUT JAMAICAN CONDITIONS Former Residents of Island Answer Thaddeus L. McDonald NO COLOR LINE, THEY SAY Dr. E. H. Gordon Claims Social Discrimination is Ruining Country—Dr. M. M. Edwards Also Gives Views. Two physicians—Dr. M. M. Edwards, of Charleston, S. C., and Dr. E. H. Gordon, of Argentine, Kansas City, Kan., natives of Jamaica—have written letters to T. Ace relative to conditions in Jamaica. Both maintain that the charge that discrimination is made in that country on account of color is untrue. Dr. Gordon asserts that social discrimination, not the drawing of the color line, is a detriment to the island. Dr. Gordon says: "Being a native of Jamaica and now a resident of this country, which I have been for some years, I am forced to offer some comment with reference to the article written in Baltimore, Md., and published in your issue of February 24. The segregation of mulattoes from the blacks is a custom practiced among the inferior class of natives, who utilize their non-pigmentary skin and curly hair as a platform of importance which is ignored by those in the higher walks of life." "The main points of appreciation in the Island of Jamaica and also of the other British West Indian Islands are not based on color; but on intelligence, morality and religion. A man is not regarded as a component part of the community if he is lacking in these qualities, for the avenue is wide open without the slightest impediment of racial inferiority, to debar him from reaching the highest position the British Government affords. This assertion can be proven by the present officials that are now enjoying the fruit of their labor. "It is true that the mulattoes disclaim the custom of the Americans that any particle of Negro blood admixed with white blood places one in the class of a Negro who is thought of as an inferior race socially, intellectually and morally, but is made to believe that he has just as much claim to be white as well as black. I must admit that the social discrimination is ruining the island not from color, but from castes, which include the three cardinal points of appreciation. "There is no comparison between the prejudice in the islands to that of America, because it is social in the islands and racial in America. If one should know the laws and customs minus race, which an aspirant for a dignified position has to submit in order to be qualified, he LYNCHING A GROWING EVIL Kelly Miller, in Letter to the Outlook, Tallis How Nogrease by the Thousands Are Lynched and Murdered in This Country, While Perpetrators Laugh at the High License Given for Lawlessness. special to THE NEW YORK AGR WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 5.—"Lynching and Lawlessness" is the subject of a letter sent to the Outlook by Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, in which the charge is made that lynching is a growing evil and is gnawing at the vitals of the nation. Prof. Miller says that the calling of a slave roll under the shadows of Bunker Hill Monument then was no more improbable than the burning alive of human beings on Boston Compton is likely now. His letter in part: "The recent editorial by ex-President Roosevelt on 'Lynching and Lawlessness' should center public attention upon a growing evil which is gnawing at the vitals of the nation. As Mr. Roosevelt says, 'When men grow accustomed to lynching men for one crime they speedily begin to lynch them for other crimes.' The usual crime, once alleged as the sole justifiable excuse for lynching, has now become the most unusual cause. Just as lynching and lawlessness cannot be confined to one cause, so it cannot be confined to one race or to one section of the country. Lawlessness is a swift and sure contagion which respects neither lines of latitude nor geographical demarcation. If slavery could have been confined to the South, there would have been no Republican party and 'no forcible emancipation. As the nation could not live half slave and half free fifty years ago, so if cannot endure half lawless and half lawabiding to-day. The calling of a slave roll under the shadow of Bunker Hill Monument then was no more improbable than the burning alive of human beings on Boston Common is likely now. "Negroes by the thousands have been murdered, lynched, tortured, and burned alive with indescribable horrors, while the unabashed perpetrators laugh with ghoulish glee at the nullity of the law. Immunity from punishment is high license for lawlessness. Grusome funeral pyres light the midnight sky with their diagonal glare from Texas to Coatesville. The American people look impotently on with a momentary shudder, only to lapse into their accustomed mood, in sure expectancy of another shock. At each horrid happening the press indulges in a heated spasm of righteous indignation, but soon grows cold again. The outlaws are rarely brought to trial, never to justice. "The national conscience is becoming sore. Is this the final expression of our boasted American Christian civilization? Are the energies of the American people so focalized upon material values that the moral sense has become atrophied? The righteous enforcement of righteous law is the greatest practical issue before the nation today. For in this is involved not only its justification for existence, but also the perpetuity of its life." TO GIVE OUT STATEMENT Dr. Thomas W. Robinson Says He Will Tell of His Matrimonial Experiences at a Near Date—Feels Grieved Over Publication of His Troubles. Dr. Thomas W. Robinson, of Jersey City, who is under indictment for bigamy, as told in last week's issue of THE AGE, promises to tell more about his marital experiences in the near future. He says he feels very much hurt over the publication of his matrimonial mixup, and介裎 the following statement to a representative of THE AGE: "My friends, and of course myself, have read the malicious statements that have appeared in THE AGE of February 20, suggesting anything but a man and a gentleman about one who has aimed to maintain the high standard of a citizen, and above all things a gentleman. "The statement is destined to malign, it is true, but in due time the accusation will be answered with facts and notification. Many years of professional and fraternal activity in New York and Jersey City prompts a reply which I shall cheerfully give in the near future for the benefit of those who are interested." MANY MYSTERIOUSLY KILLED. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. JEANETTE. La.. March 5-Within a few months twenty-six Negroes have met death mysteriously in Louisiana, and it is believed that the series of murders were committed by a fanatical band of the "Church of Sacrifice." The first crime was perpetrated at Rayne, La.. when a mother and four children were killed. Next four Negroes were murdered at Lafayette, which crime was followed by the putting to death of a mother and baby at Crowley. For the second time Lafayette was the scene of a murder when a family of four was murdered and on January 18, the mothers of another family at Crowley met death mysteriously. On January 21 the Broussard family of five, living at Lake Charles, were murdered by parties unknown. The police are making a determined effort to solve the mystery. The police are making a determined effort to solve the mystery. Democrats Find Themselves Delicate Position on Account of Measure Adjunct General Ses in the Social Bureau — Brigade Commanders Notifications to Measure's Probable Passage. ALHANY, N. Y., March 6.—Gov. Dix and the Democratic legislators find themselves in a delicate position owing to the determination of the Negroes of New York City to have a colored regiment. At the last session of the Legislature, with the Democrats in control of the Senate and Assembly, a bill providing, for a colored military organization, to be a part of the National Guard was passed in both branches, but did not become a law on account of the failure of Gov. Dix to sign the bill. The present Legislature is made up of a Republican Assembly and a Democratic Senate, which makes the situation trying for the Democrats and Gov. Dix as the Republicans in the Assembly will in all probability pass the measure introduced at this session. Last week the bill was reported favorably out of committee, and its passage is assured in that branch of the Legislature. As this is election year and the Negroes throughout New York State usually vote with that party which has shown itself to be most considerate of the Negro's voting strength, the Democrats in the Senate find themselves in a dilemma. They are thinking of giving the bill providing for a colored investment introduced in the upper house of the Legislature which would again fit it to Gov. Dix. To Again Put It Up to Dix. Various technical reasons were given last year for the failure of Gov. Dix to sign the measure passed both in the Senate and Assembly, and at this session the Negroes interested in the success of the bill have seen that there are no flaws in its construction. That Gov. Dix is not enthusiastic over the idea of providing a colored regiment for New York is evidenced by his silence since Col. Fillmore sent the master roll of the provisional regiment to the chief executive of the State some weeks ago with the request that the regiment be made a part of the State militia. Not a word has Col. Fillmore received from Gov. Dix on the subject to date. It is said that the opposition of Adjit Gen. Verbeck, a Republican, has had much to do with the attitude of Gov. Dix. Gen. Verbeck, it is reported, vividly the so-called social equality bugaboo if a colored regiment is formed in New York, hence his adverse position. Rumor has it that some weeks ago, when Gen. Verbeck tendered his resignation as head of the National Guard, which he was later induced to withdraw, the trouble started over the provisional regiment, the Adjutant General opposing the plan to bring it into the National Guard. Gen. Verbeck appears to be apprehensive of the passage of the bill at this session of the Legislature, as he has written letters to the four brigade commanders asking their recommendations concerning the disbandment of some white regiment in the event of it becoming a law, declaring that lack of funds will make such a step necessary. The brigade commanders are told that from the present situation it seems certain that the passage of the bill is imminent. Mans think Gen. Verbeck's latest move is to so arouse the members of the State militia as to cause a storm of protest to come from the white soldieria against the forming of a Negro regiment. JERSEY SENATE PASSES BILL Special to The New York Ame" TRENTON, N. J., March 5. - The New Jersey Senate has passed the Emancipation Proclamation bill which carries an appropriation of $20,000 to aid the Negroes of New Jersey to celebrate the golden jubilee of their freedom. The bill was fathered by the Rev J. W. L. Roundtree, of Trenton, assisted by Attorney James H. Penn, of Passaic. The two worked hard for the success of the bill in the Senate, which passed 13 to 4. The bill is now in the Assembly and its passage is assured. Seven commissioners are to be appointed by the governor, and they will co-operate with the commissioners of other states to make the Emancipation Proclamation Exposition a success.

NEW ORLEANS, LA New Orleans, La., March 5—For some years the public in general has labored under the wrong impression in regards to the business, intellectual, moral and social side of the Negroes of New Orleans and the impression has misled many and oftentimes discouraged those who in a very large degree are successful in their various lines of endeavor. In fact the people who are most successful in the City of New Orleans are often so modest that the world seldom hears anything from them, but in a quiet and unassuring way, they are doing the race a great and laudable job.

An association has been formed called the Dramatic Club and a few nights ago the organization gave a very classy performance in the Temple Theatre for the benefit of the Charity Hospital. It was a success in every way. Among the colored progressive young business men looms large the personality of A. Dejoie, Jr., whose place of residence is in Hydeades Street, No. 1832, is connected by him to one of the most beautiful drug stores anywhere to be found among our people. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Ellay Taylor, 2813 Borromean street, has been in active charge of the business affairs of the large and successful firm of Royce and Taylor, undertakers and embalmers. Her work has brought her in touch with all classes and she has had the tact and good judgment to hold their friendship and patronage. At the same time she is very positive and businesslike. For thirty years A. J. Ross, 618 Hillary street, has been the right-hand salesman and diamond expert at Hart's Jewelry Company, the largest and most efficient store of its kind in the city. Mr. Ross is so well balanced mentally that he holds the respect and confidence of her colleagues. Mr. Ross entertained a few of Mr. Ross's business associates in honor of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Mays, Jr., of Mound Bayou, Miss, recently. Mrs. Ross made all fortune enough to be in attendance feel that her home was theirs. She was assisted by Mrs. Corinella Evans of 2015 Caddiz street. One of the most successful ice cream manufacturers to be found anywhere is the firm of Robinson and Morris, 2217 Bryndes street. The firm is composed of Mrs. Katie Robinson and William Morris, and it is conceded by many that they make a better grade of cream than can be found in the city. Mrs. J. D. Davenport is the affable president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A., and the organizer of the Mound Bayou Tourist Club. The club is composed of Mrs. Davenport, the Rev. Slumma, the Rev. Arlage, the Rev. Aook, J. A. Carter, S. Jones, N. Dewhurst, F. H. Workman, W. Brailey, Mrs. Cornelia Evans, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Ella Bell, Sidney Edwards, Mrs. Ella Beijoir, Mrs. O Wilson, Mrs. D Denison, Mrs. E. Thomas Mrs. Davenport entertained simultaneously Thursday evening, February 21 in honor of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Mays of Mount Eason, Miss. Many speeches were made pledging the support of the good people of New Orleans who stand for the business and industrial success of the Negro, for Mount Eason and the Charles J. Pope LP Montgomery. The metropolitan dance given recently by a progressive set of young business men of New Orleans, was largely attended. The grand march was led by Grant Welb.

Special to The New York Age Penacola, Fla., March 5.—More than 2000 Penacola Negroes welcomed Dr. Booker T. Washington to Florida Friday night, which marked the beginning of his educational pilgrimage through the state. About five hundred white people occupied the hatchery in Penacola to prepare in the applause for the distinguished educator as the Negro citizens. From the time Dr. Washington reached Pensacola he received very marked attention, as did the other members of the party accompanying him. He was a captain of the Florida State Negro Business League, of which M. M. Lowe is president, and promises to be one of more than usual interest. The party altogether will be in the state's days, ending March 7 at Jacksonville. Sounding the highest praise of the Tuskegeean, Mayor Frank Reilly introduced Dr. Washington to the audience in Pensacola. He gave every evidence of cordiality and good will on behalf of the city and in his remarks "Tuskegee Institute has been recognized in this country as a potent factor in the education of the colored race up to a high standard of citizenship. Dr. Washington has also contributed largely towards promoting the friendly relations which should continue to exist if the people of the South intend to make marvelous development in the future as they have done in the past. The future prosperity of this great country, with its unlimited resources and opportunities, depend upon the combined efforts of both races and will be mutually beneficial to all." In the name of his remarks Dr. Washington said: "Within the last half dozen years I have made trips, on the invitation of both white and colored people, through Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri, on trips and making in this state. I am glad to come into this state through the invitation of your Negro Business League, at the head of which is my friend, Mr. M. M. Lewey. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than to have the opportunity of meeting and meeting sections of the country in the South where our people live in large numbers. No Discourse to Work. "In Florida, like many other southern states, the Negro is the main dependence for labor. I want our dependence for labor in the place of rent for the old idea once for all that it is a disgrace to labor. Get rid of the idea once for all that an educated man or woman should not work in the kitchen, in the laundry. We must impress upon our people everywhere that it is just as dignified to work in a field or in a shop or in a kitchen or laundry as in a church or in a school, preach the gospel or write poetry. In connection with getting rid of the idle man and woman, we must bring about an influence that will prevent so many of our people from going about the country by going to the pockets. The pistol carrier in Florida is a disgrace to any race. Instead of the pistol keeping one out of trouble, in nine cases out of ten it gets him into more trouble than it keeps him out of. The police leaders everywhere, whether they are ministers or teachers, and let them understand that our pulpits and our school teachers' deks must be clean. "The white man in every part of the South has a great responsibility. The black patterns they wear in the community where they live." BUFFALO. N. Y. Regular Interrespondence of THE A95 N.

They keep the police and military forces of all lands guessing and busy. When the Infuriation Microbe gets busy in a community or a nation in politics, in labor, in race hatred those who believe in law and order, in legal process, have their hands full to keep the blind Samms of the commonwealth from pulling down the temple upon themselves and those of them in it. Just now the blind Samms are busy in American politics, in American labor conditions and in race and class hatred. The Infuriation Microbe is working mightily in all directions. The blind Samms of the land, who feel that they are a law unto themselves, are pulling at the pillars of our national life. "There were stirring times in Dothan, Alabama, Monday, February 10. 'The news dispatch says, 'Posses of infurred citizens are scouring the country in the vicinity of this city in an effort to locate a Negro; who is believed to have shot and killed Miss Estelle Brown, 23 years of age, at her home in the outskirts of this city, Sunday night, by firing two shots from a 32 calibre revolver, both of which took effect in her hand." "The young woman was found stretched across a bed, with a 22 calibre rifle resting across her chest." Horror! The settlement about Dothan was cleared of Negroes," and no "power could stop a lynching." if the suspected Negro should be captured. The "cleared out Negroes" had "little ceremony" shown them; "the infuriated citizens" just "cleared them out." Now, that is a high-handed business, to be carried on at Dothan or Gotham, or other place in the United States; high-handed business which "infuriated citizens" are not commissioned, nor paid, nor expected to perform. The Montgomery Daily Ad purifier, from which we quote, says At the first intelligence of the killing of a white woman by a Negro the white man of the city became enraged and had it not been for the members of the man who had a better judgment, it is highly probable that trouble would have occurred for the characteristic Sunday crowd of Negroes was gathered about the railway station in day evening. To this gang the most of men stared and chared them with little ceremony, one Negro entertained the bits and bruises in the stampede. The Advertiser the following day con- tinued the following: Dothan, Ala., Feb. 20. That is how new developments in the case of the death of Miss Estelle Brown, the young girl who was found dead in bed near her Sunday night and it is generally considered that it was a case of suicide although at the time she was approved to have been murdered. The coroner's investigation showed poor burns from the gun found hung in her arms and the bullet holes back of her ear were from a twenty two caliber rifle the same she held. One empty cartridge was found in the gun and one on the bed. The attending physicians stated that the first wound, received was only a small flesh wound and that it was very likely that she fired the second, which entered the brain. The editor of the Montgomery Ad- vocator, who does not need to be in- furriated, and the citizens of Dothan, who had nothing to be infuriated about, should begin to see that the Infuriation Microbe, which eats the core out of every situation into which it enters and is allowed to work its weather will, even as maggots devour a dead body, begin finally to eat white bodies. Innocent Negroes cannot be cleared out and terrorized as in the Dothan way, by "infuriated citizens" without breeding a contempt for white men and laws white men make and ride over and trample upon as often as they will without leading directly towards the anarchy which is the death of law and constituted authority. This is plain enough to some men who have eyes to see and ears to hear and wisdom to understand the writing on the wall, which is the same for all men in all ages, that if men make lips and outrage the letter of them the point of the letter of the laws will turn upon the makers of them and avenge them in unexpected times and places and ways. The white slave master paid dearly for robbing the slave and mistreating him and for making a race of mulattoes he disowns; the white freeman pays and will pay daily for wronging black freedom and denying justice to his children of his black slave women, free. ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE. The situation has been greatly simplified and clarified by Col. Theodore Roosevelt's flat-footed announcement, in reply to the request of seven Republican Governors as to his attitude, that he will accept the nomination for President if tendered to him; and the further announcement that he will not head a third party movement if the Chicago Convention should fail to nominate him Col. Roosevelt's postition as a receptive candidate is widely different from that of a veiled prophet, who seemed not to understand what he wanted, and therefore confused all those who looked towards him for the pure milk of the true faith, as they want it. He should, therefore, be treated as a receptive candidate and not as a veiled prophet. All men know what principles of government he believes in and advocates, and how far he is disposed to allow the Constitution of the United States of the platform that the Chicago convention will adopt to stand in the way of the principles of government he believes in and advocates, because they have had quite eight years' experience in the White House of him and of his methods of dealing with constitutional questions and platform pledges. The question of the nomination of Col. Roosevelt, therefore, is squarely up to the National Republican Convention, which meets four months hence. In his address before the Ohio State Convention, at Columbus, February 21, Col. Roosevelt elaborated his progressive Republican beliefs in seven columns of words. Some of his pronouncements are new in his beliefs, but old in those of Col. William Jennings Bryan and in the history of mankind. Now he believes, as new, in the doctrines of the initiative and referendum in legislation and the recall of obnoxious decisions of courts rather than recall of judges. THI. All believes in none of these things, because it has been demonstrated that they eat away the foundations of free government, because they give too much power to the unthinking and prejudiced masses of the Republic, who cannot frame a law themselves nor understand one when others frame it. Law making and the interpretation of laws must be done by the chosen few who are reliable and capable, even as Jethro the Midianite advised Moses in a crucial period in the life of the children of Israel, and as it has been tried and approved in the experience of the Gentile people. We say this in the face of the fact that the Negro has suffered more in the United States from the effects of bad laws and vicious interpretation of good laws by preduced judgement than any other element of the citizenship, but they have suffered nothing which has not been suffered from the same cause, by reverse action, by all the other elements of the citizenship and which time has not righted in part and will not right as a whole. We shall throw out the matter thoroughly from time to time, and we go along. Those who would see a good interest in the have often experience superlative patience. We desire the success of the United party in November, and we believe that that can best be assured by the mention of President Taft. "RAG-BAG NEWSPAPERS" Mayor Gayton is a warm member with tongue of pen. New York never had a warmer. Talking about the crime wave" in New York in a letter to Police Commissioner Waldo, dated Feb. 26, Mayor Gayton says: Sir, Your letter of February 20 giving me the statistics of crime since September 1, 1911, and the corresponding statistics for the last two years, showing that there is now no annual amount of crime in the city, is at hand. This is very true, but you must remember you cannot present the prophecies of taking newspapers from inweating a wave of crime, whenever they feel disposed to do so for the sake of sensation and the circulation of their newspapers. They would be willing to bring any infanty on the city for the sake of in creating their circulation. But do not be disturbed by that, this great people understand it perfectly. "Ragbag newspapers" is a short and definite a way to state it as possible. Despite the fact that there has been more lawlessness in New York during the past six months than is good for the city or safe and reassuring to the average citizen and property owner, the fact remains that certain newspapers that sit up the criminal population by systematically magnifying small and vicious acts of violence and depreciation. The two of them have been doing it for more than twenty years. Labor and capital have been pitted against each other, and the lawless spirits that hang on the outskirts of these have been persuaded this way and the other by base appeals, so that we face crime and a Babel of confusion in everything. Where will it end? THE GEORGIA GAG, The Atlanta Independent reproduces from The Age of February 8 our editorial, headed "The Georgia Gag and Gagger," and answers it in its issue of February 24, in an article headed, "Is It Ignorance or Meanness?" the head and body of the article being of like sort. By reproducing our article the Independent answered its own, thus depriving us of the necessity of doing so. Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis says he is not concerned about what we have to say of him personally; no man needs to care about that; what he has said and what he has done as a public servant, as an editor, do that for him; it has done that and it is doing that for Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis. A man speaks, writes and acts his character as he goes along, and the record closes up behind him, becomes fixed, and he can neither rub it out nor shut it up. That is the way the matter stands for Mr. Davis, who is older than he books and not as good looking as the picture of him recently printed in his own paper shows. And there is plenty of evidence scattered through the columns of the Independent, before us as we write, that Editor Davis is ashamed of the cringing attitude he thinks he has to take in order that he and the Negroes of Georgia may be allowed by "the good white people of Georgia" to live, hoping by patience, perhaps, to come into a better estate than at this time. But because he must, perforce, think, speak and write with the white gag in his mouth and right hand and the white gagger on his back he should not expect the editor of THE ACE to do so. There are a thousand miles of distance and a thousand years of difference between the two points of view. The Independent says: We are engaged in a work of uplift and have not despaired and given up hope in our people. We believe firmly in their ultimate possibility and that triumph. When our editor is a coward or not is a question the public may determine for itself. We are willing to be judged by our record as an editor. We live in Georgia and ought to know as much about conditions here as Bro Fortune, 1,000 miles away. But it is folly to argue with a man blinded by prejudices and ignorant of the conditions under review. When we read our brother's enslaughter it is hard to tell whether he is really ignorant or mean. Bro Fortune's policy is suicidal and the Negroes of the South will fall to take his advice. We do not believe in his idea of bravery and will work out our problems down here as we have the light and conscience to see them. As many crimes have been committed on the name of "our people" as of "thierry," in the sense that Edmund Burke used it in his oration on Marie Antoniette. We have as much hope in the future of the Negro race as anybody but we shall stand firm in the hope of the present, which is a good hope, a good inheritance, in the assurance that the hope of the future will not have the white gag in its mouth, and the white gag on its back. That has been the position of Tim. Not from the beginning. We may be "ignificant" and may be "mean," but it is the signature of fear and the incessance of wasted to know that "the good white people of Georgia" have a standing in tabl and morality in hope, and that they will catch hell in the judgment of the people and burning black men and a criminal weather with the prosecution. The blood of black men alone will appeal to the ground in the God of Justice that the Negroes in Georgia until the white people in Georgia pay their penalty. And the black man. Walker stoutly believed that by an unrelieved assassination the black was senten to him by the bad times compelled the hands to make wreathes, will rise up in the moment as long as Wilkes County rests on the map of Georgia. "The Negroes on the South will be to take his advice," says the Indian agent. Perhaps; but as long as they so they will have the white gag in two months and the white gag on their backs. Mr. Davis insists that Tito V. does not know anything about him, and that he is willing to be judged by his record. The ignorance we have on the subject we will go out of the way to give Mr. Davis and the readers of Tito Vot. by reprinting on this page a contributed article to the Georgia Brute, printed in Atlanta, the official organ of the Knights of Pythias, whose editor Mr. Davis wanted the Wilkes County watters to print for reproducing an article from the Chicago Defender about the killing of Mr. T. B. Walker, "by legal process," as they've cut in Wilkes County. THE ACAUSES to lay at hand all Growing newspaper nationalists in support of to serve in the best and highest sense every cause that relates to the welfare and progress of the North. Religious faith and business are the causes that most directly affect the war, also stimulating religious denominations managed and controlled by Negroes are legitimate subjects for discussion in these columns. The character and capacity of the men placed at their head, their legislation, policy and government, are matters that concern the entire race. While it may be measureably true of the Grateful United Order of Odd Fellows, it is in the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Church, as nowhere else, that the capacity for self government of the entire race in this country is on trial. WHAT ONE COLONEL THINKS OF ANOTHER COLONEL If a man wants to see how his face looks he looks in a glass or a stream of running water; if he wants to know how his thoughts look he writes them on paper or in the sand, where they get washed out, like Longfellow's "footsteps," by time; therefore, to find out how a Progressive Republican Colonel looks ask a Progressive Democratic Colonel. Talking about Col. Roosevelt's throwing his "I will accept" into the Republican ring, Col. Byran, who has not taken his "I will accept" out of the ring since 1800, said, in his address at Ogden, Utah, last week: "I would like to know why Mr. Rosevelt should be called back into the ring after he left it to give way to Mr. Taft. It would seem that Mr. Taft has thrown the Republican party into political bankruptcy, and Mr. Rosevelt is being called back in an effort to make good the mistakes of the man he selected as his successor. "Surely Mr. Taft could not have received this nomination for the Presidency had it not been for Mr. Rosevelt four years ago, and he could not have been elected had it not been for the help of Mr. Rosevelt. "There is," he continued, "much honor in the situation for Democrats. The Republicans have long watched with pleasure our internal controversies, and now we are watching with considerable interest the troubles within their own ranks." The Republican party is not bankrupt by any means, but if Col. Roosevelt hangs on the back of it for sixteen years, as Mr. Bryan has hung on the back of the Democratic party, it will be; and the Democratic party will find "much honor in the situation" when Col Bryan finds silence, and holds fast it, in his Texas cabbage patch. --- MOB WRATHERS DISTURB BUS. INESS DEVELOPMENT. Wealth is so unevenly and unjustly distributed throughout the world, the extremes of wealth and poverty are so great, that there is what is called social unrest everywhere, but more especially in the European and American States, where the economic and industrial organism has reached the highest development. Capital and labor, instead of being sympathetic and helpful allies, are enemies "nighting mad" with each other. It is startling; therefore, to have Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the Board of the Steel Trust, declare that "unless capitalists corporations, rich men, powerful men themselves, take a leading role in trying to improve the conditions of humanity, great changes will occur and they will come quickly, and the mob will bring them." The world is threatened with the consequences such as devastated Europe in the Napoleonic wars, from 1781 to 1821. Exploring and industrial apparent in the United States, in 1880, when the readiness of the capital and labor on a tree from the slave lives began in the war was hardly apparent in the war until the year 1821, when the most important event of the war was the war. especially in the Mississippi allow, re- cording of train time to one by North- ern specialists whom it was hard for Gen. Leon to train within bounds, even with the active sympathy and support of Gen. Grant. The effort to limit industrial slavery, upon the Negro freedman in place of the chattel slave of the Negro slave was begun in the Southern State, backed up by the methods of the mob, and has spread from thence to all parts of the republic. Judge Gary does not see this, but he does see the false probs and the capitalistic bri- ands grapping each other's throats. Everywhere in the nation mob whatever distrust business development. The nature of the mob wracks or the same whether he be a capitalist or a philosopher he seeks to obtain undue advantage by unjust legislation or by violence; and when once the spirit of it gets into one thing however small, it will seek to get into all things, however great. President Taft stated a phase of the case in his Lincoln Day ad- dress at the Republican Club in New York when he said: The constitution was framed to give to the manhood of the nation the law and the manhood of the organization the same equality of rights before the law was intended to country with the mutations in the personal fortunes of the individuals that have gone to make up the people will show that never in the history of the world has there been such equality of opportunity as in these United States, and it has been secured by upholding as sacred the rights of individual liberty and the rights of private property in the guarantees of the Federal and State Constitutions." This is so far true, as President Taft states it, that the mob spirit which Gen. Eaton had to contend fifty years ago, as between the planters and the free black laborers in the Mississippi Valley, that progress of blacks and whites alike has been retarded and hampered in just so far as the power of Federal and State constitutions have lent themselves to the destruction of "such equality of opportunity," and to failure in "upholding as sacred the rights of individual liberty and the rights of private property in the guaranties of the Federal and State constitutions." And failure to do it in the Southern States, to safeguard "as sacred the rights of individual liberty and the rights of private property," allowed it free scope to escape into the Northern and Western States, and to assume the spectral menace form which disturbs the minds of Judge Gary and all the captains of industry who front the laborite's strike, lockout and dynamite bomb. ALONE AMONG WHITE PEOPLE The readers of THE ACE will recall with pleasure the article in the Christmas number of THE ACE, December 21 entitled "A Comparison and a Contrast," by Prof. Kelly Miller, one of the brainiest men of the race, in which a vivid picture is drawn of the isolation and heart-yearnings of a "colored family" living in a white Western agricultural community of 600 people, and the happiness of the Negro town of Mound Bayon, Miss, where white people pass through, and sometimes tarry, but not for long. Our sympathies went out in fullest measure to the lonely "colored man" and his wife, and we wished as we finished reading the article that they were located at Mound Bayon and had a nice home among their own and a fat bank account in Mr. Charles Banks' bank. No man can have his fullest development nor his maximum of happiness out of his living who is at sixes and sevens with the environment he finds himself in. He must be as one in all of the thought and effort of his community or his development will be stunted and limited in every direction. There are, however, white men and women who live alone in Negro communities, and have happy and prosperous lives, and there are Negro men and women who live alone in white communities and have happy and prosperous lives. They do so by ignoring or subordinating the question of race and color and by making themselves a part of the thought and effort of the place and the people in their environment. We know of several such instances. In the summer of 1907 we spent a week on the farm of Mr. Thomas R. Patterson, near Begins, Pa. in the Pocono Mountains. A short while after reading Prof. Miller's article Mr. Patterson wrote our Mr. Fortune as follows: The Negro who lives in a white community, as Mr. Patterson does, and enters into the thought and activity of it who is a student of men and things and a scientific farmer, is a missionary of the sort that is going as much to do in honorable place for the race in the life of the nation as those who make the most of living as they are doing at Mound Bayon. EDITORIAL NOTES The labor roots in Kingston, in the beautiful island of Jamestown, in which the Governor, Sir Sydney Oliver, got his bus head cracked by a stray breakback, and the recent labor mot of safety South Africans, show the world wide nature of the social unrest of our land. A Rome dispatch says the Pope has issued a decree barring double shirts from all pontifical receptions. There is already a rule prohibiting choreographies from preceding social functions where a double gown is worn. A New York Neuroceptions some doubtful gowns are out in such wise from the throat to the waist the same diversity nothing to despair. Vagal dregs and tumours are The town of Contestville, Pa., which lynched and burned a Negro last year has a visitation of a mystic, lous disease which is killing off the people three hundred of them "having the fever or other affliction" last week. The Chester County jury failed to convict the mob, but rather the right of justice is searching them out. If we can't get justice by the letter of the law we will get it by the spirit of the law, which "is no respecter of persons." The thoughtful young man in New York, in any one of the four districts where Negroes form the bulk of the population, will find white men in all of them who are conducting some sort of business, on a large or small scale, from which they are making a fair living for themselves and their families out of the Negro trade of the contrary, we command them for taking advantage of trade opportunities wherever they find them; but thoughtful young Negroes should recognize and act upon it that they can and should do so, also. Is mere man necessary to the happiness of more woman? In Berlin, Germany, last week the Society of Women Artists gave a fancy dress ball in which no man took part. Several of the women wore men's clothing. The ball, it is said, was a great success, "with the universal verdict that man was not essential to a ball." What next? After awhile more woman may undertake to make a home without mere man, but as soon as a face have done that in the past has ended in the death of that race. There is nothing more objectionable than a male woman except a female man. The types of them are to be met with in all of the relations of life. The elements, like American politics, appeared to have been hashed to fury last week when Col. Theodore Roosevelt bottled into the situation with the announcement that he would accept a nomination for the Presidency: The winds shroked, the lightning flashed, darting bither and thither, and the thunders intubed and echoed throughout the land. No doubt was left in the mind of any one that the nation has come upon a crisis of far-reaching importance, that was as much in 1864, when the counties of Abraham Lincoln strove to rob him of a renomination, and falling in that assassinated him after his re-election, and after Gen. Grant had forced Gen. Lee to his knees at Appomattox. Radicals and Conservatives in the Republican party and Radicals and Conservatives in the Democratic party are fighting for control, while the Labor Union, the Socialist and other discontented party groups hang on the outskirts of the situation ready to rush in and grasp the control. If any party will keep a limb on the conflict, while adhering to old-time Republicanism with reasonable and necessary reforms and insisting that President Taft is the best and safest man to succeed himself in the White House. The New York Times juntily wants to know where Col. Roosevelt expects to get the cash to run his campaign, in the event that he gets the nomination, as Wall street and all "the big business" are against him. The Colonel demands the right to answer such questions with his own mouth, so we are silent as a clam as to it. But here are two "to get" that resolves themselves into one, namely, to get the nomination and to get the cash to run the nomination into the White House. To get the nomination is the thing that will keep Col. Roosevelt jumping until the Chicago convention settles the matter in June. First the nomination, then the election, then the White House, then Mr. and My policies. Fire. To miss the meeting, would Mr. White Howard Taft, would be enough to seize Col. Roosevelt's angelic temper for the remainder of his natural life. Col. Roosevelt is a great American, one of the greatest living, and as fall of ideas as an oyster is of meat with plenty of salt and tobacco a source added, and there is bound to be plenty of things doing while the campaign for the nomination lasts, for which all editors are grateful. WHAT DOES BEN DAVIS STAND FOR? Torey Editor of a Humor Book Mr Ben is editor of the Atlanta Independent, which is active in mind-blowing and trying to smolt and be morsel. The latter of Some of the best hosts of the Law. Among them are the Bishop H. M. Turner, No. 10, and has done more for the law than Bishop Turner. Mr Ben has tried to the best of his ability to have law written for the old heads of A. G. Goulding, the W. J. White, D.D. Have written and remembers of the M. M. H.

He stealing from the United States government, corn liquor, That's who Ben Davis is, whom I expect to discuss. I shall deal with him according to the records of the United States government, and the facts in the case as I know them to be true, in going to the custody of the United States, Mr. Ben Davis stands for stealing him bounty. And now, Mr. Paris, you talk about discussing the public affairs of people as they effect society. You talk about those accused of crimes and ask that they be tried and punished according to the evident and ask, do you ever think of your own "spotted record"? In your mind today, in your Independent, against J. St. George White, you tried with all the power in your Natican heart to stir all the prejudice of the engaged people of Wilkes County and all whites to take the life of the young man that had simply been shot and struck, the man who was killed in people, paint what you imagined was a closed doors in a locked house. You associated the closed doors with the murder and then the murder of Mr. White, and the crimes were burned upon it. In the were burned on the walls of an army public office in all districts of the law. But, Mr. Davis, did not put at out of more presidency, and with an intent to bring the white people in Georgia, that they might say "Then Georgia, that they might excuse you, finally from the charge, which now hang over you for stalking the liquor. You charged the Iyttilian Georgia with establishing a paper of the Georgia Brond-Axe, for the specific purpose of labelling the white people in Georgia? What could have been your motive for such expressions at such a time If it was not to stimulate an angry people to burn down churches, lodges rooms, put White to death, and bring the white people to save your own criminal skin? Mr. Davis, don't the records show that the white people or have stood for crime, especially when there was U. S. corn liquor involved, but apparently against crime otherwise? In all Georgia I don't know of but two Negroes accused of stealing cheap corn liquor from Uncle Sam, and one of them is Boss Ben Davis—and yet of them is Boss Ben Davis—and yet of them is Boss Ben Davis—and standing his picture upon every page in his Independent, saying "Here is me, Boss Ben! Come praise me!" Now, Mr. Internal Revenue Collector, Postmaster General, U. S. Marshall (?), B. J. Davis, you have tried to riddle nearly everybody and everything. Now it seems that you are going to take charge of the Atlanta post office and demand of Mr. McKee the postmaster, to dismiss from the Crown Court, C. C. C. J. St. George White, because I sent the notice to meet at A. Graves' office. I did not even intimate what the nature of the conference would be. They took no active part in what was done. Yet Mr. Davis says they must go. I wonder, Mr. Ben Davis Politically, if it has really become necessary, in order to renominate Mr. Taft to the presidency of the United States, to elect a man with a record like B. J. Davis? I wonder if the President would be wise proud of the Big Four from Georgia, among them of H. J. Johnson, Col. H. I., Johnson, Col. H. S. Jackson, and R. J. Davis—if he knew of Ben's record in the United States court for corn liquor stealing" I have never been able to understand why white men like Col. W. H. Johnson, Capt. H. S. Jackson, Postmasters H. S. Edward and Hugh McKeen, Mr. Barnes, Hon. Henry Allun, Jr., et al., can afford to sleep in the same political bed with B. J. Davis, with his liquor record against him, ask you, gentlemen, how do you expect the business which you ordered, to remain or become active when you make E. J. Davis your political leader." Election of Bishop Derrick. To Constant Reader: Bishop W. B. Derrick was elected Apostolic Conference, Wilmington, N. C. May, 1886. THE A. M. E. PUBLISHING HOUSE. To the Editor of The Age: Things are for from being in a satisfactory condition at the publishing house of the A. M. E. church in Philadelphia. The present managing editor, though a sociological student, was not even known generally as a member of the church until after he was given the present position through the influence of the late Bishop Galanes. The years he stayed in Philadelphia, engaged in his work at the University of Pennsylvania, were connected himself with any A. M. E. church, or was even an attendant upon any of the churches. It is felt that he was unwise in the step he took when assuming charge of his present field to put out of office nearly all the old employees and putting in as bookkeeper, clerk and secretary three members of his own family. The two men and the third in-law are now employee. This in repention with a venomance. All the books and conference requisite that are sold around at the conferences pass only through the hands of the Wright family. But it such combat of the business does not pay the certainty that he must murder because he has been guilty within two years to purchase two homes and is now buying the third one. Bute leap to redeemment, a strenuous effort, in the hands of doctors Watson, Hurst and Hawkins. Why can not man be sent to rise by degrees without seeking to destroy all those with whom they are associated? Dr. Hurst was instructed by Bishop Garnes to be Punishable and redeem the sufferers' doctors Hurst, Watson, Thornstone, Hawkins, and Bishop Coppen were there, and Hurst had the money. Dr. Wright would allow no one to act until he had this standard of play of "saving" the man. Thornton at Bathurst was also assured he was ready and worked necessary. But no, it must be published to the world that all these men, whose the church well knows, had suddenly turned traitors and there was a man to redeem the Recorder. It is true, then every one of them would be relocated to the traitors' place. But it is not true. For Dr. Worcester charged the church $100 for the $150 for about 18 hours, and Dr. John Hurst had not threatened with a suit in court, but have turned over the judgment of W. Colby to the Shannon department. The church but would have but has original plan to hold the judgment of the judgment over as the word of Damascus, that the word of Damascus inside of the North Church. Church finance has been closed. Bishop Garnes and Thornton resigned for the place. They had and continued false accounts than he drew attention to. I am not a careful reader.

Butler of the First Baptist Church, was presented with a brief address and acted as minister of ceremonies. Key Dr. F. C.

He pointed out the superior advantage of the Christian College and gave special reasons for the Baptist college from the Baptist viewpoint. Dr. Kessler, clean of Baylor University, Waco, made a very strong address, pointing out the general need of education and the blessings it has brought to all classes and races of mankind. Rev. Dr. Pugh, of the University Baptist Church made the closing speech. "There are different kinds of education" said he. "I know some very good people in Texas who know all about many things taught in the colleges, but I am pleading for that kind of education that not only makes men and women wiser but better—better for this world and lit for the world to come. And I am glad to see you colored people engaged in building institutions with this end in view." The meeting was one of a thirty-day series being conducted in Austin and other cities of the state under the auspices of the Negro Baptist Educational Board, of which W. H.

SN ee eee Se a See ee . gestions made by playgoers and performers throughout the United States relative to what would be a fit- ting name for the theatre to he erected ta West 138th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues, the board of directors of the Johnson Amusement Company met last Friday evening and reached the decision to call the new playhouse the Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre. Before deciding to name the new Har- Jem playhouse the Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre the directors discussed, the: sub- “ject at length and considered the nam- ing of the house from various view- points. The many letters received by Tue Ace, in which names were sug- gested, were gone aver. The directors were unanimous im the opinion that a high tribute would be paid to the mem- ory of George W. Walker, Ernest: Ho- gan and “Bob” Cole by naming the the- atre after them, and that to call the house the Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre would also be a high compliment to the colored theatrical profession. The names of Dunbar, Douglass. \t~ tucks, Hamilton, L'Overtarg, Dumias, Dessalines and other Negroes who made history for the race in days gone by were frequently suggested by writers to Tue AcE. while there were some who wanted the playhouse named after Booker T. Washington and other promi- nent Negroes of to-day. Then there were others who favored calling the mew theatre the Equality, the Optimum, tie Eureka, the Problem, the Cosmo- politan, the Top Round, etc. ‘Throughout the United Statey there are colored schools and places of learn- ing named after Douglass, 1Overture, Demas, and other distinguished men of the race, but there is not a representa- tive Negro institution in this country bearing the name of any of the promi- ment colored actors, who have also played an important part in solving the “so-called race problem, The directors of the Johnson Ariusement Company, therefore, agreed to name the new the- atre after the three men known as the -triumvirate of the colored show busi- pess—the three Negroes who, hesides having been talented performers, pos- sessed much executive ability and made it posside for hundreds of Colored per- formers to get work at good salaries. The influence of George W. Walker, Ernest Hogan and “Bob” Cole in the theatrical world has heen more readily, seppreciated since their passing away. S consensus of opinion is that the colored show business would be in a, more prosperous and encouraging con- | dition were they alive, which view Tam compelled to share. “There are plenty of talented colored artists to-day m the theatrical world, but there does not seem to be a Walker, a Hogan or a Cole to bring about conditions so that colored shows will have an opportunity to pre- sent artistic offerings as in the past. Although the large colored produc- tions of the past did much toward edu- cating the whites on the color question, not only in the United States but abroad, aad although the colored performer has been quite a factor in alienating race pfeiudice, it cannot be. said that te has given the recognition duc him by the members of the race. Being fully aware of existing conditions the dirce tors of the Johnson Amusement Com~| pany decided that the naming of the mew playhouse after George W. Walker, Ernest Hogan and “Bob” Cole would be an inspiration: to those before the footlights who are ambitions to succeed end who desire that the race xive their efforts proper recognition. | So skeptical have the colored people] | betome over business enterprises which | | pear the brand of colored promoters that here are hundreds in Greater New York | who are just hexinning to realize that he plan to erect a large and up-to-date | | theatre in Harlem. to be controlled and | ' managed by Negroes, is a’reality instead of a myth. | That there were may thers, however, who from the begin- | ning believed that the colored citizens | Mf Greater New York would have a] iret class theatre in West 138th street announced is shown by the large wamber who have subscribed for stock. | { Within the past two weeks there have.| j een requests from persons living out ff New York asking that they he given | ' nformation how to hecome stockholders f the Johngn Amusement Company.

Up jo last week the Havanas were still in the lead in the Cuban League, with a percentage of 692, having won nine games and lost four. The Almen- darés are sécond, with a percentage of 539, having- won seven games and lost six. The Fe team .has won four and Jost ten, with a percentage of 286, With Mendez in the box for the Al- mendares, the Havanas easily defeated the Almendares—S5 to 3. Nine hits were made off Mendez, Petway and Padron cach getting two, and Lloyd, Johnson, Hill, Moran and Hernandez making one apiece. : The Fe club is doing much better since the team's reorganization, and in the last’ game with the Almendares won, 2 to 1. In the line-up were Poles, right field; Lyons, center; Gonzalez, catcher; Castillo, first base; Cabrera, short; Bus- tamante, third; Hidalgo, left field; Ca- hanas, second; Wickware, pitcher. S Ballplayer Bowman Dead. The death of Emmett Bowman, which occurred February 28, at his home ir Coraoplis, Pa, while not unexpected was. nevertheless, a great shock to all who knew him, Bowman was born in Coraoplis, abont 26 years ago. He joined the Philader- phia Giants in 1905 as a youngster and made good at once. He left the: Phil- adalphia Giants in July, 1908, and_fin- ished the season with the Leland Giants of Chicago. He joined the Royal Giants in 1909 and was a’ member of the team at the time of his death. In 1910 Bow- man's health began to fail, Sol White. who first gave Bowman a chance to work in fast company, says Bowman in his day was one of_ the greatest ball players he ever saw. That as a pitcher he ranked with the best and was far above the ordinary as a catcher. “I have put him in the box one day and placed him behind the bat the next againststhe strongest teams, and he showed up equally strong in both de- partments. At-any position on the in- field he was sensational, and there was no better outfielder in the country,” de- clared Sol White, Two Teams Consolidate Managgn G. W. Walden of the Kan- sas City Royal Giants and Jack John- son of the Kansas City Kansas Giants have at last got together and will give Kansas City the strongest baseball team it has ever had. The best material has been selected from both teams. The team is being backed by some of the leading Negro business men of Kansas City, and they will use their influence to sce that all games are handled on a high class business basis and that they will be worthy of attendance by the best citizens. The lineup is as follows: B. Turner. first hase; Bingo 1D. Moss, second base; Jim Norman, third base: Ashes Jack- son, short: Tom Sterman, left; Robert Boone, center: Jim Lynch, right; Tenny and S.

Dix Edwards writes as follows: "The controversy about the existence of color line in Jamaica, now being carried on in The Age, has been brought to my notice, and so in fairness to Jamaica I will try to disabuse the minds of your many readers throughout the United States of the error into which they are likely to fall through the assertions of Mr. Thaddeus McDonald. "A comparison between conditions in America and in Jamaica is untenable, and the status of things can only be realized and appreciated by one who knows the island and who has traveled through it. For your readers to learn anything about conditions there, they must, for the time being, it possible, put aside the classifications and limitations existing here, for customs, treatment and recognition of manly rights there are as different from things here as what is generally termed our accent. "I am a native of Jamaica, who studied medicine and surgery in Washington, D. C., and am now a practicing physician in South Carolina. There is not an important center in Jamaica that I have not visited at some time or other." "The existence of color discrimination is an impossibility, because it has no bias in governmental quarters where a dark man may be chief and a mulatto man his subordinate, and vice-versa. People of all hues are to be seen in the same church, the same theatre, the same train, scattered promiscuously here and there. Public functions are attended on invitation by ex-officio members, irrespective of the hue of their skin. I suppose it would be beyond belief to know that dark persons are present at guests at balls at King's House, the official residence of our Governor. Boys of all hues attend the same high schools and grammar schools, their presence there being either dependent on the means at the disposal of their parents to pay the expenses, or on the ability of the boys to win the foundation scholarships offered. So too in the schools for girls. "In the high schools where the pupils reside, there is nothing else to do but live together irrespective of the tint of their skin. The same holds true when ministers and delegates meet for their unions, synods or convocations, or when ministers exchange pulpits on Sundays. In these religions affairs black men are sometimes chairmen with white and mulatto ministers supporting their administration. Teachers of all hues are in the same institution and mingle freely one with the other. In civil service appointments preference is given to seniority and ability. When appointments were by examination it was competition pure and simple, and the examination papers were corrected in England. Now that appointments are by recommendation and endorsement the tints of the skin is not the criterion. British English Rule "Everyone has the right to select his intimate friends based on his ideals, but there can be no preferent or exclusion in matters-public, nor can there be any special concessions to any class or classes, for English rule stands for equality and justice in the letter and in deed, and not only on the statute books. "Our legislators have always been motley. The executors of the law are of a variety of color, so are our harriers-at-law and our lawyers. So where can monopoly come in? Our municipal officers are of different tints. In fact, the entire makeup of the colony is characterized by the participation of its management by this variety in color. It couldn't be otherwise. "If anyone, then, whoever it be, asserts that there is color discrimination in Jamaica, he has made a false statement, most likely knowing it to be false, too, and at the same time has given evidence of the gossest ignorance of the status of things at the island of Jamaica, or he is trying to palm himself off white in America as so many of our fairer mulattoes do, because of the limitations placed here on those of darker hue. "The difficulties and embarrassments characteristic of America are conspicuous in Jamaica by their absence, so that it is at least unfair to pretend to having them there. The ideals in Jamaica are still unquestionably English and mean intrinsic worth; mean merit, character, education and refinement. Ask any colored American who has been to England how he was received after his status was made known. Then judge for yourself." TEXAS U. B. F. REPORT.

Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to do nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation for the worst like. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kinki-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair; and gently loses it. Be sure that Kinki-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that it is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular blue box of Kinki-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, post money order or cash.
