MAKE NEW RULES FOR MINISTERS Baptist Preachers of Pittsburgh Form Alliance With Unique By-Laws Masters Who Frequent Clubs or Elks' Rests Not Eligible to Membership Laws Provide for Exposition of Any Praacher Who is Mard Using Profane Language. Special to THE NEW YORK AIR Pittsburgh, Pa., March 12.—The leading colored Baptist ministers of this city and virginity have organized a ministers' alliance, which has attracted more than ordinary attention because of some of the articles embodied in the constitution and by-laws: One of the articles directs that any minister who frequents club rooms, Elks' rests or uses profane language cannot be admitted to membership. The preamble to the constitution and two of the articles in the by-laws follow. Whereas, the New Testament clearly teaches the value of Christian unity; and the sweetness of holy fellowship which is produced by meeting together. We, the Colored: Ministers of Baptist Churches of Pittsburgh and vicinity have united ourselves into an alliance for the purpose of exchanging thoughts and ideas of how best to conduct the work which the great Head of the Church has committed to our hands. ARTICLE IN A uniform title of ministerial dignity, politeness and respect must at all times and under all circumstances govern the members of this Alliance. Any one who retires to come to order when repeatedly requested to do so by the President, unless he is supported by the Alliance, shall lose all rights and privileges. Until he shall have satisfied the body of his willingness to observe doctrine. ARTICLE VII No appointment's name will be consi- dented for membership of this Al- liance who is known to use profa- tive law, or to frequent the courts, Eiks' Rests, etc., or is goals of conduct unbecoming a minister. The acts of the new alliance are The J. J. Holder, president; the Rev W. A. Booneg and the Rev K. K. Rey, J. H. D. Welle the W. A. Booneg and the Rev K. K. Rey in the Committee on Council and Law. ENDS FLORIDA TOUR Washington Party Finishes Educational Pilgrimage at Jacksonville—Educator Speak Before 2,500 Persons Technically Welcome in Every Town. BROADWAY THE NEW YORK AGE JESSICA WILLIAM, ELS. March 12. Dr. BACKER I. Washington concluded his tour to Jacksonville here Thursday night, speaking at an audience of about 250 white and colored persons in Duval Theatre. In order to make the engagement in Jacksonville, it was necessary for the party to come to Jacksonville to be trained from Daytona, the pre-trip stop, and reached the city about 10 p.m. An elaborate program had been arranged by the Jacksonville Negro Business League, including a drive into the city, a banquet in Odd Fell as well, and a drive the next day to the various colored schools of the city, and seeing the various points of interest. Dr. Washington left the city Friday night for Chicago, where he has important engagements connected with his Tuskegee interests. At Jacksonville an original song was sung by a chorus from the Clinton Graded School, and he was introduced by Hon. G. C. Bedell, member of the School Board. Throughout the state, from Pensacola to the Southern points and up the east coast to Jacksonville, Dr. Washington received one ovation, by white and colored people alike, as if the whole populace was responsive to his efforts to promote the progress of the Negro people in the South and to bring about more friendly relations between the races. Leaving Pensacola Friday morning, March 11, his car attracted attention along the route for 250 miles, and in many instances he was compelled to come to the rear platform in order that the waiting throngs might see him. Many an old woman or man, who had seen slavery, shouted for joy on beholding what time had brought forth in the person of the distinguished leader of the race. At Quincy, where a twenty-minute stop was made, the entire student body of the Quincy Graded School met Dr. Washington, the chil- dren waving flags and singing "America." Little Altia Hart, a young miss of about ten years, presented Dr. Washington a beautiful bouquet of flowers in very choice sentiments, to which he responded gracefully and appropriately. W. A. King, principal of the Quincy Dunbar School, led the delegation that greeted the Doctor. Greeted by 5,000 at Tallahassee. Fully 5,000 people gathered at the station to meet Dr. Washington when the train reached Tallahassee. A parade made up of Negro farmers, artisans and professional men, headed by the brass band from the Florida State Normal School, was quickly formed, Dr. Washington speaking to, the audience in the open air in the public Square. An informal reception was given in honor of the visitors at the chapel of the State Normal School, presided over by Prof. N. B. Young, principal, at which short addresses were made by Hon. J. C. Napier, Registrar of the Treasury; Dr. M. W. Gilbert, president of Selma University; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, and Alain LeRoy Locke, of Philadelphia. It was at Lake City only a few weeks previous that six Negroes were hanged on a Sunday morning, and the place is well known for the existence of race prejudice. An excellent dinner was served at the residence of Prof. L. A. Jones, principal of the colored schools. A crowd that filled the Court House heard the educator speak. Grim-visaged, stoic-looking whites listened to Dr. Washington's address, and it was clearly shown that he made a very favorable impression by the hearty handshakes and complimentary remarks on the part of the native whites. Praised by Diatinguished White Citizen. At Ocala, the situation was entirely different. Here one found the utmost freedom of movement, found two Negroes on the board of aldermen, found Negroes owning drug stores, grocery stores, big farms, and owning line carages, automobiles and well-appointed homes without number. Here Dr. Washington was introduced by Judge W. S. Bullock, in an address that for sincerity and the highest praise could have no equal. "In presenting this distinguished children to you, my friends," said Judge Bullock in part, "I feel that I speak with prophetic vision when I say that the evidences point that God has again rammed amongst the hills and dales of the old domination and produced a leader for this beheaded and untortunate race of people according to his own choosing. Dr. Washington needs no introduction to you. His name has far preceded his coming in our midst. The few paltry words of commendation that I might utter would be a poor tribute to his worth. His great work in the interest of the Negro erects a monument to the Negro race that is more lasting than tables of name. He proclaims and example to the Negro race stands as a beacon light whose lustre cannot be diminished, shunning the logs and sandals, logs and sings, as the channel of their advancement. We must esteem ourselves most loved to have such a man to come in our midst. He is an inspiration to every Negro in this land and a benefactor to this nation." on Oakland, Lima, the party went, Right Dr. Washington spoke in the Lima Bay Casino, and where he was to be by a large number of colored people, as well as Northern tourists who were stopping at the Tampa Bay and other leading hotels of the city. A Spanish supper after the program was given by the Local Business League. At Lakeland Dr. Washington was introduced by Gen. J. A. Cox, an ex-conferderate soldier, who represented the County School Board. Dr. Washington here received the most remarkable tribute of his life. A special train was secured to conduct the party from Lakeland to Eatonville, the seat of the Robert Hungerford Normal and Industrial School. Palatka and Daytona were visited the next day. The speaking was held in Howell Theatre at Palatka, after the party had visited the colored schools and had otherwise received marked courtesy at the hands of the colored citizens. At Daytona; the entire party were the guests of the Girls Industrial School, of which Mrs. Mary Bethune is principal. Dr. Washington made one address in the evening at the First Presbyterian Church to a large audience of colored people, and the next morning at the theatre, to an audience composed for the most part of white people, winter tourists and natives of the community.

BIG FIGHT TO BE WAGED AMONG ODD FELLOWS Clash Between Morris and Johnson for Control of Order Imminent PASSING OF THE OLD GUARD Morris Sends Word to Friends He Will Fight Opposition - Johnson Tells Members He Is Now in Control. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE CHICAGO, ILL., March 12.—Friends and supporters of Grand Master Edward H. Morris of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows predict that upon his return to America such a bitter night will be precipitated by the Grand Master on one side and Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson on the other that the order will be split in twain and that the thousands of dissatisfied Odd Fellows throughout the country will be in a position to accomplish their cherished ambition—elect officers who will give a businesslike and profitable administration. Grand Master Morris has heard of the light being waged by the Johnson faction, and has written to friends that he intends to show his opponents that he is no amateur at the game of politics when he returns from his trip abroad. He is already lining up prominent officers of the order who are influential and who have promised their support. Deputy Grand Master Johnson has planned to gain control of the order during the absence of Grand Master Morris, and members say Johnson showed his hand in the Odd Fellows Journal last week when the paper published an order from the Deputy Grand Master making known that he was Acting Grand Master. The order reads as follows: To all branches of the Grand Unitee Order of Odd Fellows in America, and its juridiction, and to all members of all such branches, greeting: When being a fact that Grand Mastre Edward H. Mowris, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, is now on the high seas on a voyage around the world, and "absent" within the intent and meaning of Law XIV, section 1, page 24, General Laws, 1911 edition; and Whereas, in such case the duties, powers, and privileges of the office of Grand Master of Odd Fellows United Order of Odd Fellows in America according to Law XIII and Law XIV, General Laws, 1911 edition, devolve upon and invest in the Deputy Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows in America; therefore Notice is hereby given to all concerned that until the return of Grand Master Edward H. Morris from beyond the seas the functions of the office of Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows in America must be administered by the Deputy Grand Master, and all branches and members must govern themselves in accordance with the law and facts hereinafter stated. Done at Atlanta, Ga., this (th) day of March, A. D., 1812. (Signed) HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON, Deputy Grand Master, Acting Grand Master. The Old Guard which has been in power so long is said to have split because Grand Master Morris left the country without consulting with the Johnson faction. Henry Lincoln Johnson, it is said, feels that the Grand Master snubbed him by not paying him more attention. BIG BANQUET AT OAKLAND OAKLAND, Cal., March 12.—W. H. Dotson of Oakland gave a banquet Saturday night to the leading business and professional men of Oakland and San Francisco to meet William M. Marshall of Chicago, who is interested in securing an industrial school to be located at Allensworth, Cal., the Negro city that is attracting such wide attention. Mr. Marshall delivered a strong address in the interest of Allensworth and the industrial school and was enthusiastically received. Messrs. Hahne and Monk, promoters of Allensworth, were invited to speak and urged the support and co-operation of all leading citizens in all enterprises for the upbuilding of Allensworth and assured Mr. Marshall that they would render all assistance possible. The banquet was a very enjoyable affair and a big success, all the guests being enthusiastic over the progress being made at Allensworth, and all pledged their support to the industrial school. FARRAR'S INGRATITUDE BALTIMORE, Md., March 13.—One of the peculiarly interesting and depressing features of the attempt of the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association to remove Assistant Attorney General Lewis as a member is the attitude of E. H. Farrar, formerly president of the association, who is one of the principals seeking to humiliate Mr. Lewis. Many think Mr. Farrar guilty of ingratitude, as not long ago his son was murdered by white thugs in New Orleans, and the only person who came to young Farrar's defense was a Negro. So bravely did the colored man stand by the lawyer's son that he placed his life in jeopardy, and it has been recommended that he be awarded a Carnegie medal for bravery. WEST INDIAN PAPERS TAKE UP CONTROVERSY Discuss Articles in The Age About Conditions in Jamaica PAPERS ALSO DISAGREE Jamaica Times Says Color Prejudice Is Not Rampant, While the Northern News Thinks Just to the Contrary. Jamaican papers seem to also differ as to whether color prejudice exists in that country, and the different articles appearing in The Age have occasioned an interesting controversy in Jamaica. Just how much the papers of Jamaica are at variance on the subject is shown by the following editorials, appearing respectively in the Montego Bay Northern News and the Jamaica Times: Says the Northern News, in support of its contention that color prejudice exists in Jamaica: "Our good friend, Mr. R. Roger Melbourne, is, we are afraid, all wrong in telling the American people, through THE NEW YORK AGE, that there is no color prejudice in Jamaica. There is not only color prejudice pure and simple in Jamaica of the sort known in America—but there is hypocrisy thrown in to make it a sight more agravating. That is to say, that form which makes Mr. Melbourne believe that the face shown him on the street would be the same shown him at home if his natural feelings, from sober local experience, would prompt him to enter the drawing room entrance and not the carriage way! "No color prejudice in Jamaica? There is much more than we can admit—which might no doubt be the 'politic' plan of Mr. Melbourne, which is the hypocrisy we have all been schooled to observe. It is, perhaps, a wise thing not to take much notice of it; but it is hardly fair to say that there is none. It is rampant, the only difference is that it is masked. And it is masked because those who are prejudiced are the minority of the population of the island. That being so we prefer to American form of prejudice—there is something honest about it, even if it is un-Christian-like. It is crisp. Oh plain. It show what it is; and showing what it is has made the American Negro self-reliant. It has set him the task of proving to his white brother that he, too, is a man, and that his dusky shade is simply in conformity with the universal variety observed in all Nature. "And this, as we have said, is making the man of our race in the United States, a man, and a united people." Here he is made to believe that there is no distinction. The individual is welcomed and the race is shunned—thereby insulting the individuals thereby setting him against himself; producing a dependent, disunited people. Mr. Melbourne is all wrong." Under the caption "Men Who Stand Up For Jamaica," the Jamaica Times says: Preaches Loyalty to King. Praesence Loyalty to King. "A short time ago there appeared in an American paper the statement that the Negro was not regarded as a man anywhere outside Europe. Mr. O'Connor de Cordova, whom many will remember here as once Registrar of our Supreme Court, but who is now in America, wrote to THE NEW YORK ACE setting forth the facts about this island and showing, that here, under British government, the blackman was given fairplay and was not discriminated against. His letter was clear and cogent. Mr. de Cordova would not, of course, say there was no prejudice here, there is individual prejudice everywhere, but he showed abundantly that, only a malicious desire to encourage sedition against the King and Empire, or a total inability to see things in due proportion, could put this on the same footing as the reign of prejudice in America. "Upon this a Mr. MacDonald, a Jamaican now in the States writes to contradict. Mr. deCordova and to try to hold up his native country to opprobrium and to show that prejudice does reign here and not only exist. Now we are no friends of prejudice and we are heart and soul with the fight to down it here, and we admit at once that there is prejudice to be fought right here, but the way to do that is not belittle our own and exaggerate and misrepresent matters, not to go washing our dirty linen abroad, but for each of us to dare prejudice everytime. We know a lot of people who deprecate prejudice, but they have a dozen good reasons for yielding to it. That won't do, and disloyalty and treason won't do; it won't do to attempt to improve matters by going where the prejudice is worse, and by being traitors; and we are sorry that a man who we have no doubt is otherwise a worthy son of Jamaica, should yield to petrance and thus besmirch his country's Fair name among strangers. Mr. deCordova has proved much the better Jamaican in this case. "But Mr. MacDonald's letter has not remained unanswered. Mr. Roger Melbourne of Montego Bay has written to Turt Ace on the subject and we invite the thousand and tens of thousands of the loyal Jamaicans and subjects of the King who read the Jamaica Times here and abroad, to make a good mark in memory against this young Jamaican's name. We are proud of him." "Montego Bay can feel proud that the voice to answer this particular misrepresentation came from her township. We want many more things in Jamaica and we are going to get them, but the first thing to do is to recognize that we have the essentials, peace, justice, fairplay and lawabidiness. We may gain the other things of material prosperity more slowly than some others; but the gain is sure." BR. ROBERTS CHOSEN AS MEDIATOR Dr. E. P. Roberts, the well known physician of 242 W. 534 street, has been chosen as the fifth man to arrange for the Democratic primary soon to be held, which will determine the question of leadership between the Lee and Wood factions. Dr. Roberts was chosen at the suggestion of Chief Murphy and Secretary Smith of Tammany Hall, as DR. E. P. ROBERTS he has not taken part in the fight being waged the past eight months in the United Colored Democracy. He is well liked by both factions. The other men on the committee are John Morris and John J. Bell, who represent the Lee faction, and James D. Carr and F. Q. Morton, for the Wood people. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. March 12—Gov. Hadley and the Republicans of Missouri are still laughing over the letter the Governor received several days ago from Bishop Walters, who is trying to get colored votes for the Democratic party. Bishop Walters seems to be of the opinion that Missouri has a Democratic Governor, for he asks in his letter that Gov. Hadley, if he is a delegate at the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore, use his efforts to secure the adoption of a plank in recognition of the Negroes. PRICE, 5 CENTS DEMOCRATS KICK OVER THE TRACES Radicals' Opposition to Negroes at Clark Celebration Cause Speaker Much Embarrassment FIGHT ON DISABLED SOLDIER Redcberry of Georgia tells Representatives He Would Not Deliberately Vote to Give a "Nigger" $24. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13. Messrs. Clark, Underwood and the conservative Democrats of the House are experiencing much difficulty keeping the radical Democrats from kicking over the traces on the Negro question. The conservative Democrats are making a strong bid for the colored vote, and are financing a monthly magazine which is devoted to showing the Negro why he should support the Democratic ticket. Besides, several Negroes, known as field agents, are being sent in debatable states to crystallize Democratic sentiment among the Negro voters. Despite the attempt of the Clark Underwood Democrats to keep many Southern Democrats, who are insane on one question only—the Negro question—from "cutting a hog," the radials just could not help from breaking out on two occasions the past week. Speaker Clark was greatly embarrassed on his sixty-second anniversary when the Southern statesmen objected to the advertisement appearing in a Washington paper urging every man, woman and child without regard to creed or color to attend the celebration at Convention Hall. The protests of the Southernners against having Negroes at "a celebration of the people" made it necessary for Speaker Clark to draw the color line. Democrats Prejudiced Even Against Blind Soldier. The conservatives were again given double last Friday when the Soldiers' Tension bill was up in the House of Representatives. The incident showed that the majority of Democrats had not changed on the Negro question, despite the repeated assertions of Bishop Walters and others that the Negro was being received by Democracy with open arms. Since the incident the Negroes who have been zealously pushing the booms of the various Democratic aspirants for the Presidency have been trying to explain why a mama for preaching race discrimination were not kept in captivity. One of the items in the Soldiers' Pension bill reads as follows: "The name of Albert Barfield, alias Albert Pond, late of Company C, Twenty-fourth Regiment United States Colored Volunteer Infantry, and pay him a pension at the rate of $24 per month in lieu of that he is now receiving." This colored soldier is badly disabled. Congressman Ansberry moved that "twenty-four be struck out and 'thirty' inserted in lieu thereof, saying: 'I desire to call the attention of the committee to the fact that this man evidently a colored soldier, is suffering from curvature of the spine, partial paralysis, and total blindness. In my opinion he should be paid $30 per month." This statement of Congressman Amberberry brought Congressman Roddenberry, of Georgia, a democrat, to his feet, who moved to strike out the whole paragraph, saying: "So far as this gentleman from Georgia, (meaning himself) is concerned, so long as I am a member of Congress, I will not willfully, knowingly, and deliberately vote to give a nigger $24." The position taken by Congressman Roddenberry has satisfied many colored men that the Southern Democrats do not want colored support, and that the little band of colored Democrats who are hanging around the Democrats' money till are not wanted. THINK "RIPPER" A MYTH. Searched to "The New York Age." ATLANTA. Ga., March 12.—Although there have been twenty-three colored women killed in this city within the past few months and the police and newspapers have been attributing this wholesale murder of women to a "Jack the Ripper," the Grand Jury has surged many by reaching a conclusion that the "Jack the Ripper" in this case is a myth. This opinion was reached despite the fact that it is known that all the women met death by having their throats cut and their shoes and stockings removed by the miscreant in search of money. In some instances the victims were disembowelled. Bishopman, J. J., March 18.—The entertainment given at the A. M. R. R.晨 Sunday School by Bible Class No. 2 February 29, was very successful.

C., March 12.—Funeral services over the remains of the late H. W. Adams, were held at the residence of his parents, West Thomas street, the Rev. Jeffrey Parker officiating, Saturday, February 17. He was the resident of his city up to the time of his demise. Mr. Adams was a young man that stood well in the society of the city, and was much thought of by everybody that knew him. The deceased was a member of several secret societies, had been the secretary of the city, and was known that it was founded until January, 1912, when he was elected the vice president of the said company. Mr. Adams was found in the first ranks of the young man of our city, as a promoter to all enterprises that had a tendency to elevate the race. Interment was at the The sudden and very evident prosperity of many colored men and women in the South has been investigated by Northern capitalists with results that have surprised leaders of the financial world. In spite of the increased cost of living many Negro men and women who were known to be poor suddenly had plenty of money to spend. Their prosperity was so evident that, as soon as it became known, financial interests which control the cotton crop sent investigators throughout the South to learn if there was a change in the cotton situation. The investigators found the quickly acquired wealth was due to the most profitable influences on the life of marginal citizens. First the shrewd agents of the great products refused to believe the businessmen responsible for the sudden raids on them became convinced. The strong part of the affair was that the men and women who were formally poor had obtained their holdings from a mineral company whose offices are in New York City, from which the investigators were sent on their mission of investigation. These investigators found that quantities of buried treasures, to be found in almost every section of the South or a result of the civil War, had been discovered by the possessors of loadstones. These discoveries accounted for the sudden wealth. It was also learned that each of the lucks tinders of buried treasures was the owner of two loadstones, a negative and a positive. That information led to further investigation in the most remarkable series of artifacts to light. It was known that loadstones were valued highly by the ancients because of the power which loadstones possess to give their owners luck and repel evil. It was not generally known, however, that a quantity of the valuable mineral had been found which surpassed in power any heretofore discovered. In proof of the power of the loadstones controlled by the New York men, a well authenticated case was cited of a highly respected colored woman whose life was saved when, so it is asserted, an enemy attempted to cast a spell over her, attempt failed, but in repelling the loadstones burned a hole through a little leather bag in which their owner carried them suspended by a cord. The burned receptacle was shown several scientists and the grateful woman told them her story. When three facts became known to the financiers, an attempt was made by them to get control of the company which has control of the supply of these highly magnetic loadstones. Various offers were made, but such was refused. The inability of the financiers to obtain the money family burying ground, about three miles in the country. Whereas, As a member of the Board of Directors, his advice was always good and acceptable, the secretary, his vice president, his duties was well performed, and as a clerk in the store he always gave perfect satisfaction to officials and customers. Be It Resolved, That we, the committee, do make expression for the services provided by the United Supply Company, in appreciation of the services rendered to this company by the deceased and we do extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, relatives and friends, for their loss, and we hope for Heaven's gain, as the faithful work of our staff is only true sign by which we may hope a friend into eternal rest. Resolved Further. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, and that they be put upon the minutes of the Corporation Books, and that a copy be sent to The Age for publication, at the expense of J. W. Parker, J. W. Lucas, Major Williams. Regular Correspondence of THE ACK Albany, N.

It has even been said that mineral company of such a trust is formed, its shares will be listed on the Stock Exchange. The company of such a trust would be every likelihood when there would be every likelihood of a Wall Street flurry being caused from it to accomplish wearers—could not be relied on in recent years. It is known they believe the formation of such a trust could be accomplished without having the trust accused of the supply of mineral trying to restrain trade. There is reason to believe that the men interested in this gigantic proposition have had several scientists at work to determine just what power the loadstones of the mineral company in question have. In a secret report, it is allowed, the scientists have so much that the tremendous power of these loadstones comes from having them imparts a negative and positive. These learned men assert that the stones should not, and do not contain a superabundance of magnetism which would make them harmful to their possessors, drawing the natural magnetism made by the wearer. The claim is made however, that they claim just the right quantity of magnetism so that when they are worn in pairs the loadstones are capable of producing the very best possible results for the success and prosperity of the wearers. These scientists are not the first men of their class who have made a study of loadstones and found them to be of great benefit to the wearers of the peculiar mineral. No less a personage than Sir Isaac Newton constantly wore a ring in which he set an elegant specimen of the loadstone. He wore the ring many years and explained to his friends that it was an heirloom of his family, having been handed down from father to son for many generations. When a scientist of his reputation, high attunements and many qualifications gave the loadstone his approval so openly the attitude taken by some of the conservative class of the present day seems not only remarkable but downright foolish. Much is being said and written about "personal magnetism." The man or woman who has it is eagerly sought because of such person's ability to influence and control others. Many of those who are supposed to have developed their "personal magnetism" to the fullest extent have done nothing of the sort; but, on the contrary, have made no effort to change themselves, relying wholly on the wonderful power contained in the pair of loadstones, which the supposed possessor of "personal magnetism" always wore.

The information which the financiers most desired, however, was in regard to where the mineral company obtained its supply of leadstones. The discovery by the company of such a rich deposit—rich in the ability of the stones taken from it to accomplish wonders for the wearers—could not long remain true, those who seeking it in their life control of this most wonderful utility of mineral. Thus it was that the chambers cared much their attempt to gain control of the loadstone by discovering the supply and making preparations for the purchase of the supply. It was because the attempt failed that the possibility of a loadstone trust come into existence. When the officers of the material company, which at present controls the solution, were seen in their offices in New York city they said they would not sell out for at least a week because they were well satisfied with the business in its present condition. The other and much stronger reason was because the loaded the price of the loadstone would be raised so that it would be difficult, for those most in need of the loadstone influence of the loadstone, to put them. In the months, while the possibility of a deal between the mineral company and a Wall Street syndicate is in the balance, the news about the wonderful properties of this special supply of loadstones became known in "The Street," and it is said that many stand bankers and brokers are carrying about with them a pair of loadstones for the purpose of winning much money in the Stock Market. How well they succeed is not likely to be known to the public as men of their class never let it be known generally whether they are making losing money until they have lost everything. Then it is known because they cannot pay their debts. When enough of them fall at once it creates a panic, and business is bad all over. If there is any of the men who deal in stocks use the object of there is little likelihood that there will be a panic, in spite of the fact that this is a "Presidential election year," when many folks are ready to produce fruit at a public. Such predictions always are instrumental in shaking confidence on the part of the public, which in turn makes the beginning of a panic possible. The public, however, as well as the financiers, are buying and wearing loadstones. Should enough of the public supply itself with the peculiarly endowed mineral, there is little likelihood that there will be very hard times, in spite of the distrust caused by a national election. Through it may be too difficult for every man to become a J. P. Mormon. KINK-INE DO YOU WANT Good growing hair, done up in any style cleans the scalp, stop and dandruff.

It is even said that the mineral company which has excited the cupidity of the financiers is at times having difficulty in keeping up with the orders which it receives. Even those who profess to disbelieve in the potency of the leadstone are alleged to be carrying a piece of one. Very naturally they are receiving little or no benefit, the host results being attainable only by the use of two a positive and a negative. The fact that they go on about their seeking in the right direction that the institution can give to its possessor very likely will not present them from decaying the mineral. Not a few men, and some women, are born with a "grout" and they always vote in the negative. If any such attempt to "bear" the stock of the Loadstone Trust, if that stock is listed on the Stock Market, it is predicted that they will so "break," and the believers in the loadstone will get all of the "bears" money, one broker, when he was asked to discuss such a possibility, said "I have had too much good luck since I got my pair of loadstones to take whether the market went up or down. It just seems as if I couldn't help making money anyhow. But, take it from me, if the big Wall Street men wait action, they'll get it all right, all right, if they just try to corner the loadstone market. There have been corners in wheat and corners in cotton. There have been all sorts of stunts in cotton. Now, let high finance monkey with the loadstone, and it will think it has to up against a buzz saw, sure enough." The inquisitive methods of the financiers, and the peculiar developments resulting therefrom, will be watched by the general public with interest. What the result will be hard to predict. Those who desire influence, power and wealth will doubtlessly give a pair of loadstones a chance to show what they can do. As practically everybody is striving for success, it is safe to say the mineral company which controls the supply of the most efficacious stones yet discovered, will have enough business to keep it from selling much need to the offers of the financiers who would probably make the Loadstone Trust an appreciative organization for their own arrangement and an adjunct to their many means of increasing their power. That the many who have received innumerable benefits from wearing loadstones will object to the formation of such a trust, and use their best endeavors to prevent it, is a foreseeable conclusion. Because of the stand taken by the mineral company which controls the best supply of loadstones there is little doubt that the results will be good.

Theodore Roosevelt to the Ohio Constitutional Convention, which took more radical and advanced ground upon questions of public policy and administration than any taken during the past sixteen years by Col. William Jennings Bryan, or his present understudy, Gov. Woodrow Wilson, has aroused the business men of the country, as they have not been before, since the first McKinley campaign, to the gravity of the situation. Gov. Wilson has gone very far towards meeting the radical demands of the masses of the Democratic party for upheavals of all sorts and all directions in the policy of public administration and the control and regulation of "big business" and public service corporations; but Col. Roosevelt has not only gone further, he has subscribed as well to the controversial questions of the initiative and referendum in legislation and the recall of judicial decisions rather than recall of judges. He would remand the whole business of government to the direct action, in the first and last instance, of the voters of the country: The aroused business interests, headed by Mr. John Wanamaker, who has been a Cabinet officer, have first made themselves heard and felt in Philadelphia, and they naturally turn to President Taft as the safest man in the situation around whom to rally. The Union League Club of Philadelphia, which does not usually take part in partisan politics, recognizes the gravity of the situation, and the wisdom of pronouncing in favor of the renomination of President Taft, and of doing what they had to promote his renomination. The movement promises to be nationalwidely and to keep busy until after the convention finishes its work at Chicago in June. The mere politicians are not to be left alone to name and nominate to the national convention. Mr. Wanamaker is himself a candidate to delegate, and it is defined that the outback Pennsylvania, at least, business men will stand for election as doing their work for the election of those who are approved. We believe in political progress, but not in political revolution. we believe in the rule of the people, but we do not believe in the rule of the mob of the people; such as Col. Roosevelt proposed at Columbus and has since enlarged upon, and such as he gave aid and comfort to, in marked degree, during his eight years' occupancy of the White House. In his essay on "Politics" Ralph Waldo Emerson says "the less government we have the better—the fewer laws, and the less confided power," but in our system it is a constant tendency to have more government, more laws, more concentration of power in government; in so far, in the Southern States, for instance, that personal liberty has been killed by legislation and police regulation. The nation is menaced by a like condition by Col. Roosevelt's Progressive Republicanism on the one hand and Gov. Woodrow Wilson's Progressive Democracy on the other. In such a disturbed condition of politics it is natural for business men like Mr. John Wanamaker and sober-minded citizens of all occupations to turn to a man like President Taft, an approved administrator who has been tried in the fire of experience, to save the country from the menace of too much radicalism. GREAT DAY TO LIVE IN THE SOUTH During the meeting of the Trustee Board of Tuskegee Institute, at Tuskegee, the last week in February, when a large number of influential people of the North and West interested in Southern education, were present, nothing more significant was said as reported in The Tuskegee Student, than the short address of Mr. Bruce Payne, of the Peabody Normal College at Nashville, a white institution which "does not cater for colored trade," who said: "I never wan quite as proud of being a Boosterer as right now. I have never been to Tuskegee before and I cannot express to you the various and muddy emotions that have come to me in these few bourne I have been here. "We understand something of the inheritance that is back of us all and it is difficult to bear, but I am sure anything that and the suffering and the toll that is back of this generation. In that is a spirit of consolation which you see in your father and in your mother and which I have seen in my father and my mother and which any man of my age in the South has seen in his father and his mother, which we must through all time respect. That spirit of consolation is a fine asset to have behind one. It is all fine ideal to live to and it takes courage to practice it and prove the need we have of such a precious heritage. It is a great day to live in the South. "I was thinking a minute ago of the little schoolhouse which was over in the mountains of North Carolina, which, because it was the best, my father sent me to; but it was so poorly ventilated and hosted that it took ten years of my life afterwards to recover from the ill effects upon my constitution. These poor school houses are passing away and every boy and girl in the South is getting a better chance. I say it is a great day to live in the South. Even I wish I could go back ten years and make a new start so that I might have the privileges you are enjoying. It is a great day to be true to all the good things of your past, of your father's and mother's past. It is a great day to sacrifice and toll and suffer and if need be to die for such a country, for such a land as this from which you sprang." "It is a great day to live in the South," measuring the distance from 1865 to 1912, a period of forty-seven years, and measuring the condition of both races at the beginning and at the ending of that period. The white South, which had education of hand and head for moral restraint and civil government and a basis in financial credit, with home and church life firmly fixed in tradition and practice, has gained more in education and wealth in the forty-seven years of free labor and opportunity than it enjoyed under slave labor and restricted opportunity during the 245 years prior to 1865; but the gain of the black South has been vastly greater and more creditable, as it had no foundation whatsoever to build upon. It now has reduced its agony of illiteracy by quite one-half, has built itself a home and school life and a creditable labor and business position, has laid itself a good foundation in all these upon which it is industriously and persistently building, so that the rounded century of freedom and opportunity promises it unprecedented results. If it but holds fast the metaphysical and cultural as it gathers the material things of life, the martyrs of freedom will not have lived in vain. "It is a great day to live in the South," as Mr. Payne says, but there is a greater day at hand, when the black man will have his life and property respected by law and public opinion equally with the white man. The white South will concede so much in self-defence, to safeguard its life and property, the black South will deserve so much by the enhanced value of its life, its character, and its property. The adjustments from the present top-sided attitude of Southern white law and public opinion, in which the rule is that a white man can do no wrong and a black man can do no wrong, must be and will be remembranced by law. That has been the norm in legal process since 1805, it will be so in the future. Black men are not the white men to make them the norm in law and public opinion, and will be more respectful of them now. You are a great day to live in the South. But a great day is at hand. The young Nice man will constantly keep in mind that, first and make the most of and out of the day that now is. THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION AND MR. LEWIS. The greatest events in history have been decided for weak or woe by the smallest incident, or consequence, related to them, just as the large driving wheels of a locomotive engine are controlled one way or another by the small throttle. An individual is governed in the same way. Down in Alabama, near Tuskegee, we once came upon an old man, behead a young mule, standing still, with his head down and his long ears erect. "What's the matter, uncle," we asked. "Thair ain't nothin' the mattah," he said, "cept I wants ter go down the Montgomery road, 'cause I hab business dat way, an' dis 'ere mule wants ter go down de Tallassee road, 'cause he lites down dat way." We went our way, leaving them where we found them, as neither asked us to decide the question. Just here is the point where most men go to pieces, when they are of two minds, and the stronger yields to the weak, "to keep peace in the family, or when they have two warring factions to deal with and are unable to control either of them. Attorney General Wickersham belongs to the class of men, always small, who make history. When the executive committee of the American Bar Association rescinded the action of the old in electing Mr William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, because some Southern men were Mr Lewis on account of his color, which is whiter than that of most Virginians, instead of taking the attitude that it was none of his business, Attorney General Wickersham took the action to be a reflection upon him and his staff of assistants, and protested against it to the secretary of the association; failing to get redress from him, he began a postal card poll of the membership of the Bar Association against the annual meeting of the THE NEW YORK AGE. THURSDAY. MARCH 14. 1912. ter will come up for final review and determination. He now announces, in a Washington dispatch to the New York Sun, dated March 4, that if the Bar Association, at the Milwaukee meeting, votes to confirm the exclusion of Mr. Lewis he, the Attorney General, will resign his membership in the association. That is the sort of man to work with and fight for the sort of man who will work with and fight for those who will do the like with and for him. The armies of Caesar, Napoleon and Grant moved forward to victory by that token. What a miserable creature "the Southern member" is, in the legislature, in the Congress, in the Bar Association, in the saloon union; wherever he is, he is a miserable member, striving always to make others as miserable, as much of a nuisance, as himself. NO BLACK PEOPLE IN MARS. NO BLACK PEOPLE IN MARS. The planet Mars is fourth of the major planets, next beneath the earth, and 141.5 million miles from the sun, the earth being 92.5 million miles from the sun. M. Edmund Perrier, a member of the French Academy, has drawn a pen sketch of a citizen of Mars, which looks very much like our water bullfrogs of the green color, mostly head, body and arms, with little legs and those of the pipe reed sort. Of the people of Mars, M. Perrier says: "The low atmospheric pressure has produced a considerable development of the pulmonary apparatus, and consequently the general character of these Martian vertebrates has been influenced by this development which is unknown on the earth. The men of Mars are tall because the force of gravity there is slight; blonde because daylight is less intense there; with perhaps less powerful limbs, they have some of the characteristics of the Scandinavian type, although they probably have larger skulls. Their large eyes oblique; their strong noses, their large ears, constitute a type of beauty which we doubtless would not appreciate except as suggesting a superhuman intelligence." "The company of the Martians, M. Perrier admits, would be objectionable to the elegant pedestrians who thrive the French boulevards." "But Mars is the country of beauty." M. Perrier concludes, "and the Martians know the most noble intellectual satisfaction and the most emotions." We are surprised to find by what M. Perrier says of his study of the people and conditions in the planet Mars that there are no black people in the population. The fact that they are all blondes, with blue eyes, and with some of the characteristics of our Scandinavian type, who live in the extreme North and are descendants of the Vikings, the fierce Norsemen, of European history, who were giants in their day, contemporary perhaps with the giant Amaks of the south, the ancestors of the Ethiopians, whose capital was Karnac, the ruins of which are still objects of interest in the Nile River country, seems to confirm the statement that there are no black people in the planet Mars still living in the world without extinct monkeys. We can see that there are two different planet Mars, as we may have to deal with it on the way to the center of the earth, where heaven is located, since we are going the first station from the earth on the way to the sun. We would like to have the point settled before we are to begin our journey. It there are no black people in the planet Mars, and if the inhabitants of it hold to the promise against black people that the white people of the earth do, it will be seen at once that black people who go to heaven by way of Mars have an unsuspected sight before them. THE NEGRO REGIMENT ISSUE The New York Evening Mail or March 7 contains a significant news article under the title heading, "National Guard to Fight Negro Regiment Plan-White Members Object to Proposed Law, Which Would Make Colored Men Superiors." There is nothing new in all this, as the National Guard Soils have been fighting the proposed law ever since it made its appearance at Albany, in the Winter of 1910. After the Democratic legislature passed the law, authorizing the mustering in of the regiment, in the Winter of 1911, the National Guard influence, marshalled by Adutant General Verbeck, a mongrel Republican, was strong enough to influence Gov. Des not to sign the law. The Adutant General has aroused National Guardsmen all over the State to fight against the new act of incorporation now pending in the New York City. We are much doubt if the taxpayers of New York, or whom Negroes are a part, expect any such service of the Adutant General, who is a servant of the whole and not of any part of the people of the State. The basic cause of the opposition is stated in the following from the Evening Mail: New York national guard officers have joined in a mighty protest against the proposed legislation, providing for the organization of a Negro regiment assigned by the Legislature. Many regimental commanders have been informed by junior officers that they will resign if the bill becomes law. One officer said he would resign if he could be see no other solution for himself. There is quite a sprinkling of Southern regiments among the officers in New York regiments, and they would rather resign. It would be better for them to remain equal or superior at reviews or parades. "There is quite a sprinkling of Southerners" is enough to explain the reason for the opposition. But what explanation is there for Adjutant General Verbeck, who is not a Southerner but a bad sample of German. We have the Negro Regiment, organized and officered, ready to be incorporated. Much of the opposition would be withdrawn, it is said, if the Negroes would submit to having white officers. That is the point. They will not submit to any such outrage. They want a Negro Regiment with Negro officers, and they will not accept anything less. The Commander of the Seventy-first Regiment "can see nothing good in the plan;" and we have never seen any good in the confused demoralization of and shooting into their own men by the Seventy-first Regiment at Santiago. It is rather surprising to note that such a staunch Republican paper as the Moil, which claims to believe in the principles of Lincoln, should publish such an article designed to create race prejudice. THE AGE was greatly surprised at the uncalled for publication of the article, which will not tend to increase its influence among the thousands of Negro voters of New York. MR. TAFT. While we hear a great deal of complaint in various parts of the country concerning the administration and policy of President Taft, we should not forget the good and helpful things which President Taft has done for our race. No man has gone further in appointing colored men to high and responsible official positions. No President has placed his voice and pen at our service more willingly and constantly than President Taft has done. Whenever called upon to address a public meeting in the interest of colored people he always responds. He is not afraid to let the world know that he is interested in all that concerns the progress of Negroes. When finding fault we should also remember the good things he has done and is doing. DYING "DARKIES" AND "WHITES." We all know Patience Pennington, "The Woman Rice Planter," whose dairy has been running in the Sunday edition of the New York Sun so long that it has become endless, like a Chinese play in Mott street. Her unfolding of life on the Sea Islands has been full of interest and instruction, which should be the main purpose of all writing, with much of humor and somewhat of the sympathetic "touch" which makes the whole world kin." Nothing could be said truer or utter by the wisest of "poor whites" then inside in Miss Pattie's last Sunday's story installment that "The darkies were a wonderfully been mist into character." So they lace, but the Southern whites can give their caddis and spades and still win hands down in most of the skies mathematically by the Ten Commandments in the "Then shall not" character. And there has always been this distressing distinction. The "darkies" have always used their unusual character reading tactics to please "Miss Pattie" and "Marse Henry," or to get even with some one of their own who had incurred or offended them, while the "whites" have used their greater power of character reading to please themselves and to get others, like "Audt Susan" and "Uncle Mose," to help them to do it. "The old darky" and "the old whitey" characters, the obsequious slave and the creature master, were a unique and picturesque lot in their time and place, but their time and place are far separated from them, by forty-seven years, say, and they are fast ceasing to be unique and picturesque and are becoming instead a nuisance and drawback in the strange time and place they have fallen upon. As one by one "the old darky slave" spirit and "the old whitey master" spirit fall asleep in the flesh and are finally measured in six feet of earth, the free black man and the free white man will be in a better position to fight out the real problem of manhood and citizenship. Poor whites like Governor Blease. Senator Vardaman. Senator Jeff Davis and Senator Hoke Smith, are the last of their slave race. "The members of Liberia's new official family," as they appeared in Tumor Ann of February 8 are a fine, intelligent and healthy looking lot of men. The Secretary for Education, the Hon R W Payne is the only "leap and hungry looking of the eleven while President Daniel Edward Howard is the healthiest, jolliest looking Ex-President Arthur Barclay has a real motherly, patriarchial look. With such a fine looking lot of men at the head of affairs, and with the splendid aid and "good offices" President Taft has given the country, there is no reason why Liberia should not enter upon a new era of prosperity. In rich in mineral, forest and agricultural wealth, and these should be developed by Liberians for Liberians. Concessions to foreigners are dangerous. All of the small states of the world, and some of the large ones like China, are bound and gagged by concessions to foreigners. Concessions are in the nature of mortgages that must be respected, and they should never be given without adequate consideration and safeguard to the state. Dr. Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, in a recent address on "Commercialism and Journalism," to the men's meeting of the West Side Young Men's Christian Association, said that the advertising solicitor has become the most important part of the publishing business, "and in his eagerness for business he frequently attempts to warp editorial policy and in this way give the advertiser the control of the editorial staff. Advertising is the greatest menace to journalism." Perhaps, but not of Negro journalism, general advertising to warp anything. EDITORIAL NOTES The Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre, as it has been decided to name the new Harlem playhouse, should be able to succeed on its good name alone. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson has been in the office fifteen years, the longest continuous service of a Cabinet officer since Secretary Albert Gallatin, from 1801 to 1813. In the Age of February 28 the types made us say: "One real estate agent alone should capitalize a bank in Harlem. We didn't say that; we said: "Our real estate agents alone should capitalize a bank in Harlem." We repeat, as Dr. Washington often says to clinch a point, our real estate agents alone should capitalize a bank in Harlem. Perhaps they may think it over. It is highly probable that the editor of The Ake may be constrained to visit the Island of Jamaica in order properly to discover, analyze and characterize the color line about which so much has been published in The Ake are the plants of color line in New York, where he was born. For a black man not to tread on the tail of it every time he lifts up his beat foot. The executive committee of the Lillywhite faction of the Republican party of South Carolina met at Columbia March 4, and refused to endorse anybody for the nomination for President. Mr. John G. Capers will play for advantage at Chicago. The convention will meet May 4. The convention is to conclude, so that two sets of delegates to Chicago convention are possible. The Regulars favor the nomination of President Taft. Senator Brigatow of Kansas has introduced in the Senate a resolution providing for an investigation into the activities of Federal officeholders in politics in the South. The Democrats in the Senate have called for a thorough an investigation, "as it will help the Taft-Roosevelt night along." Perhaps it may. The Democrats are better at row and mob making than at peace making, but after the Obama convention everybody will turn to aid help to defeat President Trump. The May 14 debate promises to pass a bill to compel the Baltimore hotel keepers to count their promised rents among the Democrats' conspirators. The congressman has been told that the hotel keepers will be indicted. The hotel keepers have been told to take their contributions to some other office of the hotel did not satisfy their demands. We are not in a repose. It is a hard matter for Democrats to be trusted again to the office. The unrest among the people and the authorities at the cost. There were eight attempts to burn the house of the West 11th street in thirty-six hours last week. When the last attempt was made, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the police took the house and caused the cause. The tenants are all Norwegian and all say they have no enemies. What friends could they have who would make eight attempts in thirty-six hours to burn them out? The Negro who has not at least one enemy in the house is a tenuite indeed. Anyhow, he is a mighty mean creature who would set fire to a crowded tenement house. Proof, Kelly Miller says, with fine scorn, in The Outlook, as reproduced in The Age last week, that "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." The Burning Procession has got as far North as Coutteville, Pa., on the way to Boston Common. Mr. Miller's first visit to Boston, Pa., during the slave holder's war, and it may be that the spirit of it is now headed for Boston. Anyhow, it will bear a lot of close watching—the spirit of the Southern mob whether on the way to Boston Common. A very long and loud-mouthed discussion was provoked by the publication of the statement that Col. Roosevelt assured Secretary Meyer, Secretary Stimson and others, in a written communication, last year that he not only can be candidate to succeed President Taft or also be against any candidate. The discussion is in progress as we pen these words, and so is the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt, about which there is no controversy, to hustle for and to "accept the nomination if tendered to him," to challenge it if longer and louder from the Everglades, to rolls the Oregon," from Southern Savannas to Northern Barcas, President Taft is getting all of the delegates to the Chicago convention. There was a significant burial at sea last week, in which all New Yorkers were interested but in which few took any interest. The Police Department buried in the sea $11,000 worth of firearms and other dangerous weapons confiscated since last May, under the Sullivan law. There were 1,500 revolvers and 350 knives in the sea burial. Commissioner Valerie Bee part of the force since last May been arrested concealed weapons. With a rigid enforcement of the excise laws and the law against carrying concealed weapons there should be a radical and perceptible decrease in the criminal statistics of New York. The Democratic party appears to be unable to get itself right with the Negro question in the North or South. The efforts of the Asbury Park Democrats to do away with the Negro fire company, as related in The Age last week, is in keeping with Democratic politics. The Democrats are aging to intelligent Negroes who desire the color line in Northern politics to be wiped out, as Tammany Hall has wiped it out in Greater New York. It is bad enough to have the color line drawn in all directions through Southern politics, and to have the Republican party in Southern politics in past times, defer to it. A man should not feel compelled in any section of the country to vote or be voted for or against because of his race or color. He is not a free citizen, whether he be white or black, as long as he has to do business in the United States, is ridden on that account. The Democrats exclude Negroes from any participation in their party and as they rule the States, their action amounts to exclusion of black citizens from participation in the administration of public affairs, and virtually works depriving the government which the Federal Constitution insists each State shall maintain. The head of the Sun worshippers in Chicago, Adusht Hanish, has been arrested by the Federal authorities for sending objectionable literature through the mails. There are very few things that ever were that are not represented in some sort in the city. Among the last things we saw and heard when in Chicago a few years ago was a coal-black man haranguing a curious crowd of miffles to the effect that the day of reckoning was at hand and that all who heard him had better understand the same time, just outside Chicago, at Zion City. Prophet John Alexander Dowle was crumbling to pieces mentally, physically and financially. Only the wrecks of it all remain now at Zion City. What those strange people want to want and do they never succeed. A message for mankind, from Confluus at the Tower of Babel to Paul on Mars Hill, but so far none of them has been able to deliver it. Unrest in all walks of life, violent outbreaks prevail in all parts of the world today, Mass, to the civil war in China, to the Russian and British gag law in Persia, to the Italian war in Arab Tripoli, because of the delivery of the message. The English suffragettes believe in smashing everything in sight, if denied the thing out of sight they want, whether they ought to have it or not, whether it was good for them or not, whether it was childish and undooped men in to childish state do it, and want others to do it. Last week the English suffragettes turned out in force, in London, smashed shop windows, broken that government officials were required to hold the women in jail. Why? Because the government refused to incorporate in the new franchise till the demand of the women for equality with men was violated. The interference of women in the destruction of their civilization in Asia and Africa man allowed women to be involved in his governments down by the institution and maintenance of the barricade, in which many vitality of women was lost away in the barricade, serviced to the women, King Solomon loved many strange women", soiled Chopinia, the last of the Pharaohs, love many strange men, as assists that is why civilization passed through the Americas. In these latter countries women's place is fixed, and it should remain fixed as it is. Why. Yes; Certainly Are you thinking of buying some real estate" Louisville, Columbus REGARDING THI A. M. E. CHURCH To the Editor of The News Please allow me space in the columns of your valuable paper to comment upon a few of the many men and propositions that are being discussed pro and con through all Church papers. The men of the Fifth Episcopal District are taking very kindly to the prophets, the prophetsville, Tenn., and if the members of this General Conference do not make preparation for the better care of its worn-out ministry and missionaries and their families than in the past, then I am persuaded to believe that they will have missed their calling and disappointed those who sent them by suffrage toamas City would be able to make proper legislation for the betterment of our church before the election of bishops and general officers comes off. While I believe that the selection of men is a very important item in the work of our General Conference, yet it is not right and fair to give too much interest to the former. I personally favor standing recommendation of the Bishop Council in the election of four new Bishops, and where could you find a better class of men from which to choose than the Revs. John Hurst, whose election is conceded, W. W. Beckett, G. W. Allen, W. W. Conner, T. N. M. Smith, I. N. Ross, D. P. Roberts, and R. H. Leak. The church has a fairly strong set of general officers, and there is no doubt but that some vacancy will be made by the promotion of others. There is J. W. Walker, W. D. Johnson, J. W. Rankings, and Dr. Anderson, all able and worthy men, candidates to succeed Dr. Beckett in the event of his promotion, with Dr. F. W. White, all successful himself as well as J. C. Caldwell, J. Frank McDonald, W. A. Lewis, Prof. I. T. Bryant, As the editor of Christian Recorder, Drs. A. L. Gaines, C. M. Tanner, and the present encumbrant, R. W. Wright, are strong writers, either of whom would reflect credit upon their race. Rev. A. Jones, the fearless writer and defender of the church, is the choice of the Fifth and Twelfth, no doubt be elected editor of the Southern Christian Recorder. There are several strong candidates for the secretary of education and business manager of the book concern. The Rev. R. C. Ransom is the design of or writer and more forceful character and defender of the race than he. And now comes the financial secretary, the BFA. The BFA conference conference, who has been endorsed by Fifth and Twelfth, with encourag- reports from almost every other district in the connection, is not only competent for the place, but word- worthy. The Fifth and Twelfth led on that princely leader, Bishop H. Parks, shall contribute their best desperate to make this one of the best conferences in the history of the church. I am, Yours in the Cause of Christ. H. W. KING. A UNIQUE PRODUCTION The Age is enabled to offer to its subscribers a unique group of portraits, representing Dr. Booker T. Washington, Paul Laurence Dunbar, John Mercer Langston, and John Mercer Langston. This genuine photogravure, printed on the finest grade, Japan-Vellum, 22x28 inches in size, finished in Vandyke brown, embracing the master techniques of the engraver's and printers' art. A photogravure is printed from a hand-tooled intaglio plate, and consists of fine particles of ink standing above the surface of the paper sufficiently to cast minute shadows, the depth of which is by giving a richness to a photogravure impression which is absolutely unattainable by relief or planographic printing as done by half-tone, photo-gelatine, lithograph or other similar processes. A photogravure is printed in the acme of the engraver's handcraft. A most unique and artistic grouping of these five "immortals" is published in a deluxe edition from hertofore unpublished portraits, acknowledged to be valuable in likeness and character extant. In publishing this valuable edition of these five notable men, we have gone to a large expense in an endeavor to present to subscribers a rate etching of the highest technique possible. Douglass, Langston, Bruce, Dumbar and Washington have serioled upon history's pages acts and deeds that will live always, and in future years when barriers and obstacles shall have been obliterated by our persistence with the work of our children's children to have handed down to them faithful images of the "Immortals" who took up the first struggles of our advancement. This elegant production is the work of Mr. Batty, our special artist who worked for us. You can have one of these with your subscription for $25. This offer only holds good for 90 days as we are planning to have Mr. Batty produce a group of five our most distinguished women. Mr. Batty's reputation as a philanthropist, producer and tutor fully indicates his success in the training art. "Wisdom's Call" Reviewed Ever since the Negro problem has been on the American soil, it has superstition, its dissimilarity and its adulterately temporary misfortune to the white men have created problems that have increased with the increasing years. The Negro problem has been continued to be the veritable mollusk around the neck of our body politics. Astute politicians have tackled the subject and invariably after disagreement with the authorities, failure to secure any satisfactory solution have shaken away acknowledgement their defeat. Nor has the pelph thus far offered any acceptable solution. It has, without fail, herebeen been this way the solution which has been offered to the Negro and vice versa. And, at last, the occasion and a man for the occasion have met. In his latest book, "Wisdom's Call," Dr. Sutton E. Griggs has found and offers to the American people a solution and remedy for neither race, but is in complete harmony with them. And must you This book deals with no plausible theories, no Utopian dreams. It also known facts, facts which are everywhere observable and must be observed. Dr. Griggs is a philosopher, a psychologist and a logician even balanced and happily blended in one. He has premises set aside for you have to help, with the wisdom of a philosopher, the def analysis of a psychologist and the unerring mercelessness of a boy, he partly leads you—partly drives you to conclusions from which you no desire to escape be you white or you your negro. You simply do not before by you been seen. As an unmistakable presence in all the ills growing out of the Negro problem, he they relish as the central position of social life, and fail to be a success. It needs only to be read by each and both of the races. Let the Negro read it, then pass it to some white man. Let the white read, then pass it to some Negro, the highest form of mission work. In America can do it to read itself and then pass it on to it as the highest form of American people permanent relief from all phases and conditions of the race problem. The book contains 192 pages, is well printed on good paper and has a beautiful lathertea cover. It may be ob- tained by mailing fifty cents with a stamp.

Austin, Tex., March 12.—The revival being conducted by the Evangelist, Dr. John Jones, at First Baptist Church, is being well attended and several conversions have resulted. Dr. Jones is a forceful speaker and will continue to wage war on sin for some days to come. Mrs. Mary Ann Johnson, who died at her late residence, on East Fourth street, was seventy-eight years of age. She was at Lockart, Tex., her former home, and a host of friends and three children, Wim Hughes, Harvey Woods and Mrs. Wim Jefferson, all of this city. Mrs. A. J. Lausha has gone on an extended visit to El Paso.

It is coming when a Negro girl in the house is given the whites are permitted to attend at one-half or one-third the price charged the Negro. Why doesn't our Negro capital build a playhouse? Every one is keeping his eyes on politics and though too early for conclusions, it seems evident that the present occupant of the White House is the favorite. Dr. T. H. Wyatt, formerly pastor of M. E. Wyatt, but now of Fort Worth, was in the city at week while visiting with Dr. E. W. D. Abner and other friends.

WALTON In a letter addressed to the editor of THE ACE a few days ago Theodore Drury, a vocalist now living in Boston, shed briny tears and reached the crowning point of his dramatic career by tragically proclaiming that an attempt being made by the dramatic editor of THE ACE to discourage all colored singers who aspire to sing classical music, he must have been highly incensed and aroned to a high pitch of excitement—probably in the key of C. I will not bore the readers of *Titre* Axx with the first part of the singer's letter, in which he indulges in personalisation which are never interesting to the public. And although Mr. Drury has seen many more winters and summers than have fallen to my lot, I think I can give him a little advice relative to writing letters in which he lets his temper evidently get the better of his good judgment. For his benefit and education however, I will give him this advice. That he could be graded over the broad fields of drama, musical comedy, vaudieville, high class concerts, opera, and conducting a column on general sports, principally prize tightening (the quotation comes from the singer); I am also managing editor of *Titre* Axx which gives me an opportunity to do more "straddling." Here is a part of Mr. Drury's letter: Your dramatic editor's criticism of Diana Dekman, who sang on the recent Pre-Lenten program of February 15, is to say the least insulting, not only to Diana Dekman, but to the musical production in general. For a critic who is a musician, she should not apire to or sing classical music is preposterous, and if our colored public is to be educated up to the point of appreciating classical music, how can this most desirable thing be done to hear it? And it necessarily believes that if our singers are to ever reach the high artistic standard of the white singer it must be through the support of public, sentiment, public support, public appreciation, encouragement, and publicly and continuously given there will be little to complain of with regard to our artists and until such time shall arrive, it will not be fair, courteous or sensible to compare the colored with the white artist who has every reason to believe that it ought not to need stat "I did not have the pleasure of hearing the rendition of the last Pre-Lentil program, although I have one beehive of my own. The principles remain quiet and see the progress of our high class singers make more difficult by needless objections thrown across their paths as they learn to sing. I think it is unfortunate that so great a paper as The New York Age, which is doing such fine work along the electrical line in giving so much power to the music, such criticisms to appear from time to time which have a tendency to another the ardor of our struggling young artists in their noble aspirations of higher things, and especially the higher civilization the public under which they must work. Is it not clear how the white singer can reach such artistic attitudes when he leaves the theatre, the cultured associates, the high society, the everyday that modern civilization produces to sweep always upward? I have listened to opera and singers and music in both Europe and Ameri- and I do not feel in the least dis-pose to the Nero grace. In the field of classical music, for which I have and always will stand, as I believe there is nothing in this world that is too good for the Negro, and with particular regard to the field of high music. After reading Mr. Drury's letter I did it necessary to advise him to read again my review of the Pre-Lenten recital, and this time not with eyes be-mapped with tears and choking with emotion, but in a calm, impassioned manner. It is not a trait of mine to deal in innuendoes, and when the chorus is made that I insinuated that colored singers should not aspire to the classical music I am forced to show顾顾 Drury that he was in error by introducing the following: After Thursday evening's recital I again find myself complaining of the selections used by the maestro, who has been the mistake of the many singers who have appeared at Pre-Lenten festivals in the past to render songs familiar to the audience, not to mention one popular number. Among the songs are strong racial traits, and his folk-lore songs and tales have attested widespread attention, yet not a song was sung Thursday during her singings. Her tenor from Denber was forgotten by Mr. Huber, who showed a preference for Kipling. I do not notice it at a recital all Negro folk-songs should be performed do I contend that all popular numbers should be used. It is not necessary for me to dwell length on the allegation that I am opposed to colored artists singing musical music. I believe that the Nec- sors should have as lofty aspirations as any other race. My contention has al- ways been that the public—whether the singer be composed of colored or white singer, whether the singers be colored or white—demands a program consisting both classical and popular numbers. To render all classical numbers unless the performance is grand opera, is not associated by the audience, and if the singer white singers do not follow such popular plan why should some of ambitions colored singers? Then a singer shows versatility by being able to simultaneously render a varied program. My Dewey says that colored singers in theater have the best chance. right. But Mr. Drury should have reached the conclusion long ago that the public is exacting and callous, applauding only that which strikes its fancy. Patience and sentiment are characteristics foreign to it. He could have added that there is no dramatic writer or musical critic living who can make the public go into ecstasies over an artist's work unless the public sees fit. The singer must also bear in mind that three-fourths of the theatre-goers who determine what is a success and what is a failure are not graduates of the New England Conservatory of Music and other institutions of music, either. The review of a critic is merely the opinion of one person—one who usually gives his observations from an impartial standpoint and who is not swayed in his writings by favoritism or prejudice. I have heard of Mr. Drury's small successes and big failures and I have always admired his dogged determination to make good in his chosen profession. "The noble aspirations after higher things amid terrible difficulties," to use the words of Mr. Drury, is a condition encountered by all who are ambitious to do big things. But "moble inspiration" and "higher things" are never reached by starting from the top. Buildings are erected by first laying the foundation. Reputations are built in a similar manner. Any aspiring singer whose ardor is easily smothered by honest criticism is lacking in some of the essentials one must necessarily possess in order to make good. Success is not achieved by false, compliments, platitudes and flowery beds of ease. It is highly probable that had Mr. Drury listened more attentively in the past to honest criticism his success as an apostle of classical music would at this day and time be greater—and his influence more far-reaching.

Aida Overton Walker and the members of her company are attracting more favorable attention over the Orpheum Circuit than any colored act seen in mauveville in the West and Northwest for years. Miss Walker is heading all the bells and making good. In Minneapolis last week at the Orpheum there were a favorite, although grey and Dayne, undisputed headliners, were on the bill. The Minneapolis Journal makes reference to the Walker act as follows: A remarkable colored artist, our best known mauveville actor-author, and a young woman with an unusual voice head an Orpheum bill which better deserves the verbiage of its immediate predecessors. Ada Overton Walker is an artist. Musical comedy is hardly the look to look for in finesse yet quality of distinction. Miss Walker's work. Even into the awaying riptune tunes she manages to put an enormous amount of energy possesses a large share of that indefinable magnetism that radiates across the footlights. Her offering is a clever arrangement of popular tunes by composer Thompson and ten dukes chorus indices assist in carrying it through. LARKINS SHOW STRANDED. Last week the company headed by John Larkins stranded in Peoria, Ill., and when last heard from the performers were in a desistite condition. A letter was sent to THE AGE by members of the company stating that many of them were shoeless and coatless and without a cent to pay board bills. Larkins is said to have left Peoria immediately after the show closed accompanied by his wife, Jennie Pearl Larkins. The Larkins Company has had a very rocky career ever since it opened last August. The show stranded in the South shortly before Christmas, but financial aid was secured and it was booked in the Middle West. Business was not the best, however, and the new backers severed their conections with the colored aggregation. "SOAPS" GETTING READY All is peace and harmony in the Soap Box Minstrels of Philadelphia. Billy Gratton, who severed his connections as general director of this representative amateur theatrical organization last spring is back into the fold, and all the members are working to make their performance on May 3 at the Academy of Music a big success. The following have been elected officers in charge: Billy Gratton, general director; John D. E. Morris, musical director; L. E. Pennington, stage manager; Andrew F. Stevens, chairman. TO PRESENT "CHRISTOPHE." Henrietta Vinton Davis and R. Henri Strange will be the principals in the Hatien drama "Christophe," which will be presented at Lenox Casino Thursday evening, March 21.

WORK BEGINS ON W-H-C THEATRE Work was began Monday on the W-H-C Theatre (Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre) in West 138th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues, and before many months have passed the Johnson Amusement Company intends to give Harlem its largest and most up-to-date playhouse, managed by colored and with all colored help. That many playgoers in New York and elsewhere were watching with interest the decision of the directors relative to the naming of the theatre has been evidenced by the large number of congratulatory letters received since it was made public that the house would be named after George W. Walker, Ernest Hogan and "Bob" Cole. Following is one of the letters received by THE AGE: As a weekly reader of the greatest of Negro paper, The New York Age, I must admit that I have not had anything to satisfy me for a long time as I have since reading in your paper that the director of the theatre decided to name the new theatre in Harlem the Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre. I have been keeping a close eye on The Age to find out what the decision of the directors would be, and I not only want to congratulate them on the name stockholder and will appreciate it if you will send me more particulars about stock. The Johnson Amusement Company will be pleased to give full information to all prospective stockholders upon writing to 247 W. 40th street. The local fraternal societies are experiencing much difficulty in securing public attention in the Johnson Amusement Company is building lodge rooms over the theatre, which will do much toward relieving the situation.

GAGS AND FUNNY SAYINGS. By Sam Lucas. Sam Lucas, dean of the colored theatrical profession, has written for THE Age the following gags and funny sayings told in minstrel shows forty years ago: Question: What makes a chicken cross the street? Answer: Because she wants to get on the other side. Question: When is a bedstead not a bedstead? Answer: When it is a little buggy. Question: What is the best way to catch a squirrel? Answer: Climb a tree and make a noise like a nut. Question: What made Adam like the apple? Answer: Because he had no knife to cut it. Question: What is dust? Answer: It's mud with the juice squeezed out of it. Question: What looks most like a cat looking out the window? Answer: "Another cat looking in the window." End man: "I saw a team of horses run away the other day, run into a lamp post and knock the wagon speechless." Interlocutor: "How's that?" End man: "Broke its tongue." End man: "I am a great drawer." Interlocutor: "What did you draw so great?" End man: "At my desk the other day I drew the picture of a hen. Threw her into a basket and she laid there." Interlocutor: "Spell blind pig?" End man: "Blind pig—blind pig." Interlocutor: "You left out both eyes." End man: "You have to leave out both eyes or the pig ain't blind." Interlocutor: "Can you parse a sentence?" End man: "Yes, what is it?" Interlocutor: "Mary milked the cow." End man: "Did Mary own the cow?" Interlocutor: "Yes." End man: "Thought Mary had a little lamb. Mary is quite common, because it's a general name. Milked is a verb. Cow is a pronoun and stands for Mary." Interlocutor: "Cow does not stand for Mary." End man: "Well, if the cow does not stand for Mary how is she going to milk her?" Two pals are talking. One can see a long distance but can't hear; the other can hear but can't see far. The one that can see a long distance said to his pal: "Look away over on the church steeple from the little knot walking up the right-hand side." The other pal said: "No; but I can hear every step he takes." IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Howard Again Meets Defeat. The Monticello basketball team of Pittsburgh defeated the champion Howard University team Friday in Pittsburgh, by the score of 24-19. As this is Howard's third defeat in three years, the colored basketball world will be forced to recognize Monticello as one of the fastest of colored quints. The Monticello team is open to meet all comers. It has not met defeat in two years, playing all white teams. It is captained by C. W. Posey. Jr., considered throughout the country as one of the fastest boys playing the game. Before joining the Monticello Athletic team, he was for the champion State College team. C. Posey was the star player on the Monticello team in last Friday's contest, outplaying Oliver, captain of Howard team. Gilmore played the best game for Howard. His shooting was of the sensational order. The Monticello Athletic Club would like to hear from the All Stars, the Smart Set, the Owls of Jersey City, the Imperials of Orange, and all first class teams. Address J.

The preliminary game between the Smart Set Juniors and the St. Christopher Tigers was full of excitement and aggressively contested. ing, March. It was like taking candy from a baby to the local, players, and the score ended 42 to 6. The Spartan Girls of Brooklyn could have given the crack local players a better argument than did the boys in blue. Despite the inclementy of the weather quite a crowd witnessed the contest. The presence of the Booker T. Washington Boy Scouts, under the command of Major Hart, lent color to the scene. The line-up: All Stars.....Cavalrymen.
