In the report of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which covers from October 1, 1911, to February 1, 1912, the attitude of the hospitals in New York toward Negro physicians and patients is commented on as follows. Insurance has been made as to the extent to which Negro physicians and Negro patients are admitted mostly hospitals of the city: Replies from nineteen hospitals out of twenty-nine addressed show that there is no inclination to discriminate against the admission of Negro patients.

Only two letters expressed a willingness to welcome Negro practitioners. Work of the League. Some of the accomplishments the league is able to report since the completion of the annual report, which covers the fiscal year ending September 30, 1971, are: "The workers of the National Protective League have handled 306 cases; forty-nine in Philadelphia; 151 in Norfolk, and 106 in New York. Ninety of these 106 New York cases were received during the period from October 1 to February 1, twenty being probationers. "The league has recently undertaken the task of providing counteractive influences for girls on the verge of miscident or immorality. In preparation for such preventive work, conferences have been held with school principals, teachers, church pastors and workers with girls in Sunday Schools and clubs. Heart cooperation is in evidence on all sides judging from the four or five cases which have already been handled with some success by one of the Protective League's local workers. This promises to be a fertile field of social welfare activity. Probation Work Complimented. "The probation work increases in its efficiency and in its demand for careful planning and public support. In the Court of General Sessions the cases of girls have been handled by Mire* Campbell the courts' probation secretary, in a manner which has elicited commendation from the judges." Hawaii has the cases of men and boys for on account of the maturity of the league undertaking with them, when there is no need to handle them. This difficulty overcome to some extent by the services of Mr. Hubbard, the Urban League's fellows, and follow up cases of which the judges have Miss Campbell. Among boys and girls constantly. A club of boys is being conducted at Kinderergarten in West 65d Street.

The third fellow is under consideration. "The Utopia Neighborhood Club, one of the offsprings of this Conference, recently gave a Fancy-Dress Carnival for the purpose of raising the nucleus of a fund for the establishment of a home of detention for delinquent colored girls. At the latest report a profit of $20.00 is on hand. In this connection mention should be made of a dance given by the two stenographers of the league for the purpose of aiding needy cases handled by the workers of the Protective League. A contribution of $10 was thus made. "On December 4, 1911, the first Conference of Social Workers Among Negroes in New York City was held under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This conference served to emphasize community co-operation, to acquaint those interested in social welfare work among New York's colored population with the efforts which the league is putting forth for the general uplift, and brought forebly before the public the need of a detention home for delinquent colored girls under 16 years of age."

EXERCISED OVER THE KILLING OF CARTER Effort Being Made to Have Detective Prosecuted for Murder SHOOTING UNPROVOKED Eye-witnesses Tell How Detective Mortally Wounded Carter—Mayer and District Attorney Informed of Shooting. The alleged killing in cold blood of Waverly Carter, 2 W. 134th street, by a detective a few evenings ago has put the colored residents of Harlem in a bad frame of mind, and an effort is being made to have the detective, who is charged with shooting down Carter without provocation, punished for using his revolver in such a reckless manner. The killing of Carter was discussed for some time at the weekly session of the Equity Congress Sunday afternoon, and several eye-witnesses to the shooting dramatically told how an inoffensive citizen was mortally wounded by an officer of the law whose desire to make a gun play got the better of his good judgment. It is claimed that the detective who killed Carter can be identified by at least half a dozen men. Mayor Gaynor and District Attorney Whitman have been informed of the incidents attending the death of Carter and affidavits are being given by eye-witnesses to the shooting telling of the uncalled for conduct of the detective. The shooting of Waverley Carter occurred last Thursday evening in a saloon at the corner of Fifth avenue and 134th street, during a raid on the place. According to onlookers, Carter walked into the saloon to buy a drink after the police and detectives had swapped down upon the place and put under arrest all those who were in the rathskeller. When Carter walked into the saloon he was informed by hystanders that the police had raided the place and that quite a number were under arrest in the rathskeller. It is said that Carter looked into the rathskeller to see what was going on, and when he turned to walk away was ordered by a detective to halt; that while Carter was turning around to obey the detective he was shot twice and fell to the floor. "You have shot me for nothing," Carter said to the detective. "Well, why didn't you halt when I told you?" was the officer's ready response. The wounded man was promptly taken to the Harlem Hospital, where he died of his injuries the following day. A coroner's inquest has not yet been held over his remains. Some hystanders assert that the detective who shot Carter appeared to be under the influence of liquor. BANKS FACTION WINS. Court Rules That the M. W. Stringer Grand Lodge is the Only Colored Organization in Mississippi to Use Masonic Name. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR MOUND BAYOU, MISS., March 19. The fight between the Banks and Redmond factions for control of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Mississippi came to an end last week when the courts decided in favor of the Banks' faction. The court held that the M. W. Stringer Grand Lodge was the only colored organization having the right to use the Masonic name in Mississippi, and that the affairs of Charles Banks as secretary and treasurer had been honestly and intelligently conducted. The fight, for control of the Grand Lodge started some months ago at Holy Springs when the faction headed by Dr. S. D. Redman left the M. W. Stringer Grand Lodge and started a new organization. The Banks' faction got out an injunction against the new lodge, which has been made permanent. Bank and File Showing But Little Continuity in Various Republican Conventions Being Held. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Richmond, Va., March 19—Politically speaking, the Richmond Negro has fallen into a state of innocuous desuetude that Gabriel's trumpet could hardly call him into real activity again. It is true that within the past four or five weeks efforts have been made on the part of one or two self-styled leaders to organize suffrage leaders, hold conferences, etc., to protest against "Lily Whiteism," but the efforts have all been abortive for the reason that the promoters, in the main, have played Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde with the masses, seeking to "curry favors" with first one faction and then the other of the two Lily White factions in this district. To the white newspapers have been given stories of conferences of "leading white and Negro politicians, which when sifted to the bottom proved to be only talk. At the state Republican convention, held in Roanoke last week, there was not a Negro voter from Richmond to protest against the highhanded methods of the "Lily Whites" in this city and district in excluding Negroes from the party conventions, even where they were duly elected delegates. The fact is, Richmond has not a Negro political leader in its midst. Those who essay leadership have the "itching point" and stand ready to sell their brethren for a mess of potage, thus the condition of affairs. The Age correspondent will have something further to say along this line in the future. THE NEW YORK 247 WEST FORTY-SIXTH ST.

J. J. Plantevinge, assistant pastor of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, is ill at St. Agnes Hospital. His trouble is agile to be a nervous breakdown. Father Plantexigne has been outspoken against prejudiced conditions in the Catholic Church relative to the Negro and recently delivered a speech at the Catholic University, Washington, in which he argued for the opening of the seminaries and colleges for the propagation of colored men for the priesthood and urged that colored Catholics be treated as are other Catholics.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS PORTUGESE WEST AFRICA FOR SALE It is Rumored That American Capitalists Will Buy Possessions PORTUGESE NEED MONEY Treasury in a Bad Condition and Country is Negotiating to Part With Rich Land TO INTRODUCE FARMING If American Acquire Portfolio Country Certain will be Related on Very Extensive Scale. Portugese West Africa, according to reports from Europe, is for sale and there is some talk of American capitalists acquiring the African possessions of the Portuguese, which is inhabited by six million blacks. The country is said to offer great opportunities along agricultural lines. The Portuguese Congo is connected with the Congo Free States which has a population of 46,000,000 blacks. It is said that the purchase of Portuguese West Africa by American capitalists, and the introduction of farming among the natives would also have a great influence on the future of the blacks of the Congo Free States, as they, too, would likely be shown eventually the wisdom of raising cotton and tilling the land in which they live, which is known for its fertility. Those deeply interested in the purchase of Portuguese West Africa by Americans predict that the contact of the natives with whites and Negroes from America will bring many radical changes in Africa where thousands of blacks now go about in an unrestricted state. Aside from the introduction of farming on a large scale, the nature of living of the African would be greatly changed. The natives now pay little attention to clothing, but it is the belief of many that within a decade the majority of blacks would adopt the habits of Europeans and Americans relative to wearing clothes. It is said that the Portuguese Government is anxious to sell her African possessions because its treasury is in a depleted state.

MONTGOMERY AT HOT SPRINGS Founder of Mound Bayou, Miss. Wal- ford. Relation of the Races in the South. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Hot Springs, Ark. March 18 Hon. Kalish T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, Miss., was a visitor in this city that week and was royally delighted by the citizens. Upon learning through a Wilson, Jr. that Mr. Montgomery would arrive on Tuesday, March 12, a committee consisting of the Revs. Reed, Watson and Montgomery and Dr. Hipa and Curtis met him at the train. Mr. Montgomery addressed an audience of 750 persons, fifty of whom were white, at visitors' Chapel, Wednesday. The Relation of the Races in the South. He dealt with the subject in a masterly manner, enhancing the reputation he had already gained as an orator in the Mississippi Legislature and the Mississippi Constitutional Convention in 1850. The distinguished speaker told of his early struggles and hardships in planting Mound Bayou, of the skepticism with which his early efforts were relied upon, and finally of the triumph over suspicion and disease to the modern, progressive town that Mound Bayou now is. He counseled peace and harmony between the races, believing the Southland to be one common heritage which would be better understood in situations. The evident sincerity and firsthand knowledge with which Mr. Montgomery spoke made a profound impression on his audience. On Thursday Mr. Montgomery, accompanied by Messrs. Boone and Wilson, had an audience of 100 people in rooms at the Arlington Hotel. He left for his home at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. BALTIMORE, MD Regular Correspondence of THE AGE BARRISSON, Md. March 21—The steamer Starlight, which has been overlaid at a cost of $6,000 made a trial trip Tuesday. It will be used mainly as in the past five years to carry excursionists to Brown's Grove, an excursion resort owned by George W. Brown and Walter Langley, two of the best-known colored business men in the city. The boat is valued at $30,000 and will carry over 1,200 passengers. Messrs. Brown and Langley, who also own the Starlight, say that the vessel carried nearly $10,000 passengers during the excursion season last year, and their receipts exceeded $21,000. Just after the passage of the "Jim Crow" law in Maryland, in 1901, it was hard for colored organizations to charter an excursion boat owned by whites until late in the fall, but the advent of Brown and Langley into the business made these same white companies turn about face and make an effort to land colored excursion right in the heart of the summer season.

We shall be gratified and publish the news with much satisfaction, when the members of the United Colored Democracy of New York County stop fighting among themselves, budle together in the wijkshap and smoke and cheroots of peace. Newspapers birth of Negro parents in past years have had but a short campaign time to live and have been full of "the hopes deferred that maketh the heart sick." Our new Democratic contemporary, The New Era, may have better luck; although what it finds in the National condition of politics and the attitude of the National Democratic party towards the Negro as a man and as a citizen, to justify reasonable expectation of such lock, is not stated in the first number. Alexander Walters president of the company and Charles L. Barnes is secretary; James Henry Wallingford Howard is editor and Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall is contributory editor. We wish our contemporary a merry good time of it. There should be lots of brains in the historic muse; glorious in song and story, that uphold its editorial expectations and dignity. Mayor William J. Gaynor of New York was a judge before he was a mayor, and he will be a judge long after he ceases to be a mayor. His temperament is naturally dictatorial and vitriolic. His utterances are all tainted with those flavors. Mayor Gaynor does not like Mr. William Randolph Hearst and his chain of newspapers, and they do not like Mayor Gaynor. The world is governed largely by the old saw, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your back." In hammering Mr. Hearst it develops that Mayor Gaynor and Governor Woodrow Wilson quite agree that President George Washington did not write his "Farewell Address to the American People," but that James Madison wrote it and Alexander Hamilton revised it. Washington just fathered it and sent it out. We think, we recall it, that it was the crabbed John Rindolph Tucker of Virginia who imitated as much on the floor of the House of Representatives that the late Senator Charles Summer of Massachusetts, before he died, wrote the eulogy of himself that Robert Browne Elliott of South Carolina delivered for him after his death. Aidyhow, we have the Farewell Address, which has been a stumbling block ever since its delivery to every man who has sought a third term as President. 一 The Louisiana Democratic State Committee has finally decided, not to hold a Presidential preference primary, and will elect delegates to the Baltimore convention in the old way. "The reason given for sticking to the old way is that the State has already seven primary election provisions, and the people do not need any more politics than they have. That is the matter with Louisiana, they have too much primary voting and not enough election voting, the vote of the whole State seldom equalling that of a New York Congress District. As a matter of fact, the total voting of all of the Southern States is not only a National injustice but a National disgrace. The Negro vote being virtually disfranchised and most of the white voters being Democrats, interest in the election ceases after the primary voting designates the candidates of the Democratic party to be voted for. Government by Democratic party primary, participation in which Democrats of the presence of Bishop Walters, Dr. Walters, Editor Napoleon Bonaparte Marshay, and others, should be rigidly excluded by the little word "white" printable black in front of "primary" was never even contemplated by the frumers of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution. We have known Bishop Alexander Walters a very long time, and we have always admired him. His nature is naturally frank, genial and demonstrative. His relations to himself are so entirely good natured and cock-sure that gloomy refuses to stay in the same place he is for the time being and doubt of all sorts scurry at his approach as clouds before the winds. When he has once made up his mind that a thing is so, that a thing is good, that a course of action is wise, he fills the whole business with his enthusiasm, and the whole business sizzles with enthusiasm, while it lasts. Sometimes it lasts for long; sometimes it lasts for short; but short or long it is good natured, it is cock-sure, while it lasts. And Bishop Walters never gets discouraged with himself. In his new Democratic weekly booklet, The New Era, Bishop Walters undertakes to give in thirteen of the twenty-seven pages of the publication, "Reasons for the Division of the Negro Vote"; but he in no wise convinces us, as the head like the body of the article is misleading. It is not reasons for the division of the Negro vote that we are given, but argument for the support of the Democratic party; the gray-headed old hag with its heels on the neck of the Negro's civil and political rights in every Southern State, with ceaseless harangues in the Congress and the lecture forum and the-press to justify the wrong; argument, without facts, reason; only argument. Argument without facts to sustain it can avail nothing. Bishop Walters' argument as to why the Negro should support the National' Democratic party is as "unsubstantial as a pageant faded," simply because it is not and cannot have been based upon any pledges of the National Democratic party, in any platform it ever adopted, or in any measure it ever promoted, or favored, in the National Congress, or State Legislature, dominated by it, favorable to the civil or political rights of the Negro. That is a fact. Argument can do nothing with it. We freely grant that a Negro's politics should not be known by his color, but until the National Democratic party takes down the sign it set up in 1876-7 in every Southern State, and keeps up by unprecedented moth wrather lawlessness that "this is a white man's country," ruled by "white primary," the Negro will carry the color of his politics in his face whatever party other than the Bloody Democratic party may affiliate with. It is written on the wall where all Belshazzars can read it that the Denggeric party has been weighed in the balance on the race question and found wanting. THE POLITICAL PREACHER The season is fast approaching when the political preacher, like the spring poet, will begin to thaw out. We wish there were some way of suppressing the political preacher. If a minister or a bishop wants to weaken his influence in his church and in his community and state, he can do so in no surer way than by going into active partisan politics. In nine cases out of ten, when a minister goes into politics, the public takes it for granted, either rightfully or wrongly, that he is being paid for his services, and this question of pay, always tends to hurt the standing of the minister. We wish that all of our Negro ministers would keep out of political activities, except insofar as they have a right to vote and make speeches on special occasions in a dignified and proper manner. But the practice that has hitherto obtained among many of taking money for political purposes is damaging in the highest degree to the ministerial profession. HEROISM OF, BLACK WOMEN. The splendid gallantry under fire of the wives of France's black Senegalese troops was recently celebrated in a touching Order of the Day issued by the commander of the French troops. The order which was published by the Armée Coloniale, mentioned in particular the following killed in the service of France: Musina, wife of Corporal Ahmed Yacub, mortally wounded at the battle of Talmeut, while distributing cartridges in the firing line; Fatma, wife of Corporal Tarore, killed; Cumba, wife of Private Samba Dauf, killed; Bintu Korre, wife of Private Tome, killed. The order named two other women who distinguished themselves at this engagement by their courage in handling out cartridges under a galling fire. --- It is announced that the dances known as the "Turkey Trot," the "Grizzly Bear," and the "Bunny Hug," are not "in sympathy with the ideals of the New York Mozart Society." There seems to be a concerted war on these dances, which are ideals of their own, but of the demoralizing sort, so they say, as we do not know, having never seen one of them in action. The names of them are enough to bar them out, as being entirely unrealistic, unaesthetic. "What is in a name?" he asked. Everything. A nameless thing, it is nothing. One of the most significant Negro appointments President Taft has made was that of Mr. Charles H. Cotterill, of Ohio, to be Collector of Internal Revenue at Honolulu, a man thoroughly qualified by education and long experience in the public service in Ohio to justify by his work the wisdom of his appointment. The significance of the appointment, however, is to be found in the fact that it did away with the rule so long in force in all of the departments at Washington, written or understood, that Negroes should not be appointed to positions in the Insular Territories of Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines, and not to be accepted in the civil service even when they had qualified by the required examinations, when such appointments could be shunted or pigeon-holed. The rule was first established in the administration of President McKinley, immediately after the close of the Spanish-American War, and made effective by the appointment of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia to be Governor General of Cuba and Judge Luke E. Wright of Tennessee to be Vice-Governor General of the Philippine Islands. The injustice which the rule has worked, and which the Southern influence which fathered it intended that it should work, has been to create a belief among the native people of the Insular Territories that the American Negro is a mentally incapable and a socially unfit person. It has worked a great and lasting wrong to the good name and reputation, at home and abroad, of the Republic for his services, in the army and navy, in the Spanish-American War, and of the Republican administration or Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft which he helped to make possible by his votes, covering the four Presidential elections since 1896. Now that President Taft has broken the obnoxious rule, and established a better and juster one by the appointment of Mr. Cotterill, we have a reasonable hope that he will complete the good work before the 4th day of March, 1913. Fortunately the Negroes who settled in the Philippine Islands after the Spanish-American War have made a splendid reputation for themselves in civil service, independent, business and professional employments. The government and people of the Philippine Islands trust and respect them. We are gratified, therefore, to learn that the Negroes of Manila are making an effort to secure the appointment of one of their number as Judge of the Court of First Instance. Mr. Guilford E. Campbell has been endorsed by them for the position. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan. In the Spanish-American War he served as a First Lieutenant and has since the war practiced law in Manila and attained a high standing at the bar. At present the Negroes of the Philippine Islands have no man in the Government service of sufficient importance to give them the prestige they should have, and the absence of which is not only a handicap but a positive hardship to them. We trust that President Taft will see the wisdom and fairness of giving the Negroes of Manila the appointment of the Judge of the Court of First Instance for which they have asked THE LESSON OF HILLSVILLE The Judge, the District Attorney, the Sheriff, and other white people including five altogether, were shot to death by white rulers in the courtroom at Hillsville, Virginia. All this is simply the result of years of lynching of Negroes in the South. In numerous cases, after Negroes have been tried before a court, they have been shot down in the presence of the court. In many cases they have been shot down before trial. The white people at Hillsville are simply doing what they have been taught to do for years, except that in this case the victims are white instead of black. We wonder if this object lesson at Hillsville will convince governors and other state officials in the South that lynching must stop for all time and for all races. ```markdown ``` The rabble that is turned loose on the few who save something of what they earn for working capital in business or income in leisure have always been a dangerous force to deal with. Mankind are today having to deal with it in all parts of the earth. In the United States labor and capital and mob wrathers and law and order are locked in a death grapple. --- In the Outlook Col. Roosevelt, whom we greatly admire, says: "The issue is perfectly simple: Do you believe in the rule of the people? If you do, you are with us. If you do not, you are against us." That is a very nasty way of putting it. It makes "the rule of the people" and Col. Roosevelt, "us," one and inseparable. That is not fair to "the rule of the people," which was here when Col. Roosevelt, "us," came and will be here when Col. Roosevelt, "us," goes. This year we are with President Taft, "us." The Avenger of Blood is abroad in the land. The Christian who doubts it discredits his faith and fails signally to read the signs of the times. He is no respecter of persons, but as the Just Judge he has an eye single and sees and knows them by their works who seldom know themselves. 'In Atlanta, Ga., where a reign of terror prevailed in 1906, in which Negroes were mobbed on all hands, there has been constantly things doing which make men shudder. A few weeks ago a society woman saw a man and woman enter a fashionable hotel. She knew the man to be the principal or a female seminary, but she did not know the young woman with him to be his wife. She telephoned the police, who went to the hotel and arrested the couple. The young woman proved to be a student of the La Grange female seminary whom the principal had seduced. During the past week Atlanta high society had cold shivers chasing up and down its spinal column while it held down its proud head with sorrow and shame. Why? Eugene H. Grace, a prominent society man, was found alone, drugged, shot and in a dying condition in his home. He had dragged himself to the telephone after recovering somewhat from the drug, and called the police. He says his young wife drugged him, shot him, and left him alone to die, as she locked the door behind her and took the train for Newnan, on a visit to her husband's parents, to cover the crime, which was revealed by the unexpected recovery of the husband sufficiently to call the police. But the doctors say he will die. The young woman is in the Atlanta jail, called the Tower Thursday of last week, at Hillsville, the county seat of Carroll, in Virginia, after Circuit Court Judge Thornton L. Massie had pronounced sentence on Floyd Allen, in a crowded court room, the relatives of the prisoner opened fire on the court, killing Judge Massie, Commonwealth's Attorney William L. Foster, and Sheriff Lew Webb, and mortally wounding two jurors, the clerk of the court and a spectator, seven in all, and then escaped. Only a short time ago Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., a society big, wig, was hung near Richmond for murdering his young wife. The wronged Negroes of the South, murdered by mob wrathers shielded by courts of law and public opinion, may be powerless themselves, but the spirit of outraged justice is not powerless; it is abroad in the land, and it will have blood for blood. T. RZ AND W. J. B. What foreigners think of us and our ways is always interesting, as enabling us, as Robert Burns aptly expressed it "to see ourselves as others see us." Speaking of the candidacy of Col Roosevelt, the Paris Temps, in a leading editorial, says. "On account of his demagogism Roosevelt promises to be as deadly to Republicanism as Bryan has proved to Democracy. If the Republicans pin their faith to Roosevelt as their candidate for a third term the Democrats with a same candidate are practically sure of victory." This statement of the case from Paris, where Col Roosevelt delivered his famous Norfolk address on his return from Africa, will be as much of a surprise, if not shock, to him as the failure of the lawyers in Nassau county to accept him as a citizen, in which he was called to serve at Mineola for seven days last week. The average American does not much care for the Bossy man who knows rights and does not care a rap for the rights of others. Col Bryan long ago got himself that reputation; and while the Democratic leaders have let him have his way in every National Convention since 1890, the American voters would not stand for him nor consent that he stand for them. If Col Rosevelt has got himself a reputation of that sort he has only to thank himself for it. It was not that way two years ago, when he grabbed the Republican State machine at Saratoga, and ran New York State into John A. Dix and the Democratic party, where it is now stuck fast, and out of which the present Republican State Committee will have much trouble to pull it next November, when the electoral vote of the State will be badly needed to keep a Democratic President out of the White House. Shakespeare declared that "the evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their homes" Col Rosevelt killed himself politically two years ago by taking the Saratoga convention by brute force and turning over the administration of the State government to John A. Dix and the Democratic party. The voters of New York State would not tolerate him and his methods then, and there is no evidence that they will do so now. As editor of The Commuter, from the financial and personal advertising viewpoint, Col. Bryan has been and is a great success, to which in his old age he has added a cabbage patch in Texas that is said to be a big success all of itself as Contructing Editor of The Outlook, from the financial and personal advertising viewpoint, Col. Roosevelk has been and is, equally with Col. Bryan, a great success; but, as political factors they are lacking in the prime essentials of the diplomacy of statesmanship and the bubbling good mature, the give and take, of the fathed politicians, which characterized Abraham Lincoln beyond the great men of his times. JEWS ALSO WANT A REGI- MENT. It is a toss up, "heads I win; tails you lose," whether prejudice among a certain sort of Americans is stronger against the Jew or the Negio, as a people, entitled by the Federal and State constitutions to equality before the law with all of the citizenship. Prejudice against the Jew and the Negro crops up wherever civic rights or civil privileges are involved and the Jew or Negro insists upon "the square deal," which is no knot to the square steal, and refuses to compromise with it. But the Jew and the Negro approach denial of civic rights and civil privileges by different ways, with different means and with far different results, and the Jew usually succeeds where the Negro usually fails. What is the way of the Jew? They first become convinced that they have a just cause of grievance; they they get together as a race and decide upon a course of action; then they select the wisest, the strongest men of them to think and act for them; then they tax themselves for the money needed to contend for what they aim to secure, and then they place it at the disposal of the men they have selected to think and act for them. Simple, is it? Yes; very. That is the Jewish way. Now, the Negro way is usually the other way! A New York Sun dispatch says: ABRANT, March 12.—Jewish citizens of New York City applied to Adjutant-General Vrechk to-day for permission to organize a battalion to become affiliated with the National Guard. For some time there have been small companies of Jewish young men who have armed and uniformed themselves out of private funds, and now they desire aid from the State. It is said that it would be possible in ten days to organize a regiment composed of Hebrews, but that many of them are withholding actual signing of an application to join the National Guard until it is known whether the organization will be accepted. This question is raised by this application as in the case of the proposed colored regiment, since both organizations want to join the infantry branch of the service and the Federal Government has stated that it would decline to uniform and equip any additional infantry troops in this State. We want the Jews to have this regiment, and we are very sure that ultimately they will get it, as they have the organization and wealth which are seldom denied; and we want the Negroes to have their regiment, and they will get it ultimately; if they keep up their organization and tax themselves to sustain it, as they have done and are doing, in the brave effort to get it; and we want Adjutant-General Verheck to have all the trouble and vexation his race-prejudiced nature has invited. He is not built tight, and he will find it out when he falls down upon himself wrong. We desire that men everywhere should have accorded to them the free measure of civil rights and civil privileges to which they are justly entitled, and that confusion shall come upon all those who deny them to them. We looked into a French Hand Laundry in West Ninety-ninth street recently and were gratified to see three Negro women doing the work which white women usually do in laundries. Of course this was due to the fact that nearly the whole block is tenanted by Negroes. Egmenhmen have a way of getting along with black people which other Europeans have not. 1. <u>Identify the main idea</u> of the passage. Attorney General Wickersham so far recents the decision of the executive committee of the American Bar Association to annul the election of Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis as a member that, his protest having been disregarded, he has taken a postal card vote of the 4,700 members of the association, to be sent to its secretary. The association will meet in Milwaukee next August. The association has been in an uproar as to a few of its members since it was discovered that Mr. Lewis, not white, technically, but is, really. The Taft administration, by the action of Attorney General, thus resents the drawing of the color line in the Bar Association, and that is a tremendous precedent-making gain for the Negro people. Senator Tussie of Wyoming County has introduced a bill in the legislature at Albany which provides that no license shall be issued to a chauffeur in New York State who has been convicted of a crime and empowers the Secretary of State to revoke any license, which has been issued to a convict. "It is said," says a New York Times Albany special dispatch, "that more than two hundred chauffeurs in New York City who have a State license have criminal records." Who would have thought it, of the New York City chauffeur and garage bunch, who announced sometime ago that they were lined up and would not tolerate Negro chauffeurs in any sort of way? Perhaps when the law drives out the thieves among them the honest men may hold a more honorable and humane view of the Negro's relations to the chauffeur labor problem. White chauffeurs of taxicabs have been mixed up in most of the big robberies recently in New York City, but thus far Negro chauffeur, we are pleased to say, has been implicated in any such business. Let them keep their records clean. THE SPENDTHRIFT. Our sprightly New York* illustrated contemporary Life has done a public service in issuing a "Spendthrift's Number," (March 14), in which we find the following as a foreword: When this race has passed away it will be celebrated in history for a single idea, of which we are not now so supremely conscious—and that is our credit system. On a basis of natural resources we have built up a structure so huge that it fairly reaches the sky. It is a vast bubble, on the surface of which, like inspired insects, we swim and dream our financial dreams. The idea of spending as much money as we can, regardless of how it can be made, or even whether it can be made, is one that every American begins the world upon. Thereafter everything that he does is some sort of modification or readjustment of that idea. We have long since passed the simple or kindergarten stage of living beyond our homes. We are now engaged in living beyond the incomes of the generations to come. The thing is so simple that it seems ridiculous. No one element of the American citizenship should take Life's statement to heart more than the Negro people. They have reduced the credit system abuse to a science' which makes it no more a credit system but the spendthrift's abuse of credit. Most of the Negro's dealings are on a small scale, but small scales grow to be large scales, if not killed in their youth. The average Negro would rather have a small item "charged" to him than pay for it on the spot when he has the small change, in his clothes, and later when requested to pay, he becomes highly insulted and takes himself and his trade to some other victim. The easiest and most effective way to make an enemy of a friendly Negro is to seriously ask and insist that he pay "this little debt, please!" This small tendency to get credit instead of paying cash for small things, and getting offended when payment is demanded, is all the more dangerous now in small things because it will become a rope about the neck when the race comes to deal in large things, as it is fast coming to do. What men learn to do in small things they in large things, when they get to them. The credit system among poor people is a positive calamity. It allows them to get whatever they desire, whether they need it or not, or whether they have work or not. When pay day comes they are oftener poorer at the end of the week than at the beginning of it. The credit system, of which the installment plan is the deadliest agent, keeps more Negroes poor and slaves to their backs and stomachs, than any other in their lives. The best way is to pay as you go and go as you pay. It will discourage the spendthrift habit, which eats up millionaire and pauper alike when the weakness cannot be overcome. And no one can know that he cannot overcome it who makes no effort to do it, but allows his desires to lead him wherever the credit system beckons. So then, there is race prejudice in the Island of Jamaica, acknowledged to be in it, in the last issue of The Ack, by the Montego Bay Northern News and the Jamaica Times. Truth will out --- The Guekwar of Baroda has graduated six months ahead of his class, at Harvard, and gone to his home in India. We dare say his departure was hastened by the troubles his father had at the Delhi Durbar recently when, it is said, he affronted King George of Great Britain and Emperor of the Indies. The Guekwar will be heard from. European and American education and manners are doing their work in India. A rhymster wag, giving advice in the Chicago Record-herald, says: When you think the Fates betray you, Whine about it. When your efforts fail to pay you, Whine about it. Don't brace up or keep on trying. Spend your time in bitter sighing. Let the world behold you crying - Whine about it. The advice is sound and ironic enough to be framed and hung in front of every unfortunate Breakdown who has decided with himself, of whom there are always two or more in the same person, that he can't brace up. The highways of life are littered with such Breakdowns, some very great and some very small, whom the world does not understand and has small sympathy with, but it owes them most, as men of their race type have always been of the visionaries. The Magi, the Wise Men, who have attempted and achieved the impossible things that have made the world wiser and better. * Political Acrialities. What position would the colored American occupy in politics if both the Republican and Democratic parties, in name, organization and other present distinguishing features, should have out of existence? If influences, already, at work, should establish new issues which in turn should bring about equally new alignments under new party names, what would become of the colored brother and his present race-guided attitude? These questions may seem superfluous and unimportant to the embryonic statesman of our race, but the student of passing events may realize that we are talking of matters very much within the realm of near possibilities.—Colorado Stateman. TO the Sultan of the Ace. I ask intelligence in your column to Stuart Sullivan in regard to Dr. W. W. Beckett, his diacody for the bishopic. It seems everyone who speaks or writes, with a few exceptions, is discussing more and not measure; hence I shall be in keeping with Dr. W. W. Beckett when I speak of Dr. W. W. Beckett. When the great A. M. E. Church meets in Kansas City in May next, it will be that at least four men shall be elected to the office of bishop in this city, and I will be making the connection to favorably appoint Dr. W. W. Beckett, who is one of the leading candidates. I believe him worthy, I believe him deserving, because he has the native and acquired moral and religious character, which entirely fits him for the office. I am not speaking for Dr. Beckett simply because he is a South Carolinaian, or that it is South Carolina from among her son's. I regard that to no argument at all. Some states may have never bid a bishop, but what does that say? We are speaking Beckett from a standpoint of principle and because he is worthy to believe. South Carolina has many sons deserving of honor, and it is highly probable that some of them will be honored by the state, the university, and among them we ask that Dr. Beckett be placed on the Episcopal bench and the prayers of his friends in South Carolina in particular in the field of connection that will have been answered. The South Carolina and Palmetto conference have given special endorsement to him, and he is a strong supporter in the Pledged to no less than help them bring their wishes to pass. We ask the aid of the delegation from all points of the compass to use whatever legal and honorable means to question the situation. This article comes unrelated and unknown by Dr. Beckett and all his friends ask is fair play and a challenge to abide the results. When the battle over it may be truthfully said of the friends of our candidate: They stood firm, battling for him with a force of men, and drawing back the foot while they had ballots to protect them. More anon. Alternate Piedmont Conference To the Editor of The Age: We believe now that the next general conference of the A. M. E. Church will elect six Bishops. From general reports it seems to be generally understood that Dr. W. W. Becket, Secretary of Home and Foreign Mission of the A. M. E. Church; Dr. John A. M. Church; and Dr. M. Smith, of Georgia, and the Rev. Rev. C. Ransom, as editor of the "Review," are certainties. Jacksonville, Fla. To the Editor of The Age: Since it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Dr. W. W. Beckett will be elected Bishop at the next General Conference, which will most in Kansas City, nexus, next to the city will offer and support its of favored sons for Secretary of Missions. Dr. W. W. Beckett is a man of ripe experience and thought, is a student of no mean ability and one of the strongest preachers intellectually in the Church. A DELEGATE Brunswick, Ga. St. Louisans Want Dr. Abbott Returns St. Louis, Mo. March 16—At the fourth quarterly conference held in Union Memorial M. E. Church, March 5, closing four successful years of Dr. B. F. Abbott's pastorate, reports were made showing that this last year had by far been the most successful. The association indorsing Dr. Abbott's administration and pledging him their most hearty co-operation and support and praying that the Bishop may see fit to return him for another year. The following resolution was adopted. Whereas, The New York Age, of February 22, 1812, gave out an announcement that, members of our Mo., and invited Dr. W. H. Brooks, of New York City, by petition, to become its pastor, and Whereas, such a petition is without the official knowledge of Union Memorial Church, the Title this fourth quarterly conference of Union Memorial Church announce to the public, that no official invitation has been given to anybody to become its pastor, and realizing the prosperity and popularity through men of the Central Missouri Conference we publicly express our preference for men of our own conference and await the judgment of the appointing powers of the church.

Regular Correspondence of TUF Ack One of the most successful receptions ever tendered the colored people of Greensboro was given Wednesday evening, March G. in the A. & M. College chapel in honor of Messrs. D. C. Virgo and J. J. Pope, the winners of the intercollegiate debate between A. & M. and Bennett Colleges. The reception was attended by both the students and teachers of the college, and many of the leading colored people of the city. Despite the indecency of the weather, the young men put forth every possible effort to make the affair one of success. Before 7 o'clock in the evening the boys were out wearing costumes for the occasion and by the time the clock tolled the hour of eight the beautifully gowned young ladies were seen getting from the carriages and hacks of every description and entering the large corridors of the main building, where they were met by cadres for the occasion. The guests were led to the chalk room where they rested their waist and went to chapel. The chapel was handsomely decorated with college colors, while the rostrum, on which the guests of honor and the members of the faculty sat, was beautifully decorated with ferns, narcissus, nasturtiums and many other potted plants. A speaker had been selected from each class in the college to pay tribute to the winners. The speakers wore C. Womble, of the Junior Pro 340 WEST 59TH STREET.

Y., March 17, which read as follows: At least one vexing question is settled by a decision of the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, in the case of George H. Thompson, the then chairman of the Theatre Company, Justice Brown, in the Erie trial term, granted a non-suit at the close of Thompson's case, and the upper court affirmed the decision. Von, Thompson, as purchaser of a ticket of admission, sued for damages because attaches of the theatre refused to admit him to the theatre house. He is a Negro and brought suit under the Civil Rights law. It is talked about along Broadway that the theatrical managers are doing their best to create an impression among colored playgoers that the ruling in the Thompson case settles the question of admitting colored citizens to the first floor of a theatre, and the white press, subsidized by reason of the theatrical advertising, is bowing to the will of the managers and publishing articles to mislead Negroes. That the question is vexing is admitted, but for the white press to publish that the decision in the Thompson case means that a manager can exclude colored citizens from the first floor of a theatre on account of color in the future is absurd. The facts in the Thompson suit are not fully known in New York City, and it may be that the managers have a clear case. Will the last year have suits that have brought suits in the courts of New York alleging color discrimination and who have produced evidence to support their charge have been awarded damages according to law. If George H. Thompson thinks he has a good case, and his lawyers think likewise, let him go to a higher court for a decision. In many instances colored citizens are more apt to get a favorable interpretation of the law in the higher courts, for obvious reasons. To many cases are dropped by Negroes in the trial courts because an adverse decision is rendered against them. To lose in the lower court should just be the beginning of a fight to determine if the Civil Rights Law is on the statues as an ornament and as a big joke. And so it should be with Mr. Thompson—that in if he thinks he has a good case. The Influence of Moving Picture Shows. The theatre managers and dramatists have declared war against the moving picture shows, for which the people have been deserting the theatres. At a meeting of actors and dramatists in Berlin, Klaus said in consequence of the competition of moving picture shows the 120 theatres in Germany would soon be hopelessly bankrupt. There is a law in force now which restricts the cinematographs, and the managers and dramatists are looking for further localisation of the theatres. It is meant that the new Royal Opera has granted the rights for the summer season to a Parisian film company has aroused angry protests. Nowhere has the advent of moving picture shows wrought such a great change on the theatrical map as in the United States. The only theatres that have not felt the presence of the moving picture shows are the first-class musical shows where the drama and musical shows are presented. Six and seven years ago melodrama attracted the popular-priced theatres throughout the country, and a solid hear of such plays as "She Was a Working Girl But a Lady." "Why Girls Leave Home" and "The Heroine of the Big Bank Robbery." Within the past three years two-thirds of the popular-priced houses which at one time did a big business booking melodrama and musical shows have been turned into moving picture houses, which brought about a new and encouraging situation for colored performers, as it made it impossible for large colored shows to get desirable enough booking to make the season a profitable one. Bad booking was responsible for the early closing of the Mr. Lode of Koal Company, headed by Bert A. Wilkins three seasons ago, and which caused Cole and Johnson to formake musical comedy for vaudeville, the living picture shows have also made the living picture shows managers sit up and take notice. They have keenly felt the competition of their new rival to such an extent that some of the large circuits are also conducting moving picture shows. The majority of the theatrical men confess that they do not see any prospects of the moving picture craze waning in popularity in the near future. Latest About W-H-C Theatre Interest in the W-H-C Theatre, now in course of construction in West 138th street, between Fifth and Lemox avenue, is increasing daily. One of the surprising features in connection with the selling of stock in the disposition of Negroes living out of the city to become stockholders. Letters have been received from would-be stockholders from as far south as Mississippi and as far west as Colorado. John D Chair, of Santa Fe, Isle of Pines, Cuba, is the first Negro living out of the United States to buy stock in the Johnson Amusement Company. Owing to inclement weather last week the excavation work progressed slowly. More headway was made this week, and work will be pushed rapidly from now on weather permitting. Of the many letters received by the Management Company congrat- lates. The W-H-C Theatre 138th street, between Fifth and Lenox Aves., is now in process of erection. The Theatre is being built by the Johnson Amusement Company, duly incorporated under the Laws of the State of New York. Shares are now being sold at TEN DOLLARS a Share. Arrangements can be made to pay for shares on a weekly instalment basis of $1.00. Now is the time to get into a paying proposition and be connected with a business enterprise that is providing a place of amusement for the race. The theatre will be a work of art and the lodge rooms unsurpassed. Send your subscriptions to Johnson Amusement Company, 247 W. 46th street. ulating the directors in naming the theatre after George W. Walker, Ernest Hogan and "Bob" Cole, was one from Miss Dora Cole, sister of the late "Bob" Cole, which reads: To the Directors of the Johnson Amusement Company: of the New York Age I learn that after much care and deliberation you have unanimously agreed to name the new Hurlem playhouse the Walker-Hogan-Cole Theatre. As a member of the family to whom Mr. "Bob" Cole was ever and always faithfully and sincerely addressed to you my sincere appreciation for this tribute to his memory. There are those of your company who well know how hard Mr. Cole arrived to bring before the public the bobblehead of the Negro. He aimed always to produce a refined style of performance. He and his very able partner, Mr. J. Rosamond Johnson, moved to Iowa to work that, in spite of views to the contrary, there was a place on the stage for the cultured Negro artist. The best possible houses had to be built, and productions might be presented to advantage. In order to secure these houses he had to fight and light hard, for the white manager tolerance for the refined colored act. How often have I heard him lament the fact that there was no Negro playhouse here to which the colored performer might turn. After a conference with some prominent men in London and New York, where the possibilities of erecting a Negro theatre were discussed, I remember he remarked that, although the conference showed them only the door, nevertheless he was encouraged to do so. He felt the Negro actor would soon, somehow or other, enter that door and find himself with a shelter over his head. He added that nothing could so encourage and strengthen a man like the fact that he had a home of his own to which he belonged. He were ever ready to recognize and appreciate his merits. Just such recognition and appreciation will your playhouse bring about. I am happy to know Mr. Cole still shares with Mr. Walker and Mr. Hogan in receiving some of this recognition and appreciation. Other letters containing complimentary reference to the new playhouse and its name will be published in the future space permitting. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Cook and Stevens are at the Plaza Theatre.

More. Marie Jackson Smart, president of the club, responded boldly and provided over the exercises. In her introductory remarks she spoke of the origin of the club, its alms, etc. She said "To arose a spirit of burning desire to uplift a race of people should begin in every home and in the heart of each individual in that community." There is no high but that it could ascend higher along some lines. There is no life so pure but that there is need of greater purity in some special point and so we can all help in the uplift. If I can carry the rosy sunset into the life of one individual I am working for and with God. Mrs. M. C. Lawton spoke at great length on "Girlhood" standing on the threshold of womanhood and of the Neighborhood work as done by her club in Brooklyn. Eugene K.

Will be held in the TRUE REFORM Monday Evening, March 25, Clos PROGRAM E GENERAL ADMISSION 10 CENTS PROGRAM COMMITTER—Mrs. Hilder, Miss G Coward, Mr. Major, Madam Price, Miss Will be held in the TRUE REFORMERS' HALL, 42 W. 133rd St., New York Monday Evening, March 25, Closing Friday Evening, March 29, 1912 by founding the Musical Settlement School for Negroes. According to Mr. Mannes, Charles Douglas was a Negro lad in a Southern town when he first attracted attention as one possessed of conspicuous musical talent. So great was the promise he showed with the violin that rich patrons backed up his ambitions and sent him abroad to study under the masters there, and as he came, too, a man of reading and a fluent speaker of French and German as well as of English. When he had finished his study he came back to America, hoping to find a bright future in the music world of the North. But this hope was never realized, for, though there was recognition of his ability among people who knew, the color line was drawn to shut him out of fair opportunities. There was no room for him in a band, and he seemed to be no place for him to pursue his career on the level for which his taste and his education had prepared him. And, gifted and accomplished though he was, he had to return to the guitar and the banjo as the instruments with which a Negro could gain a hearing, and to play wherever he could for whatever compensation he could get. One day, a broken and a disappointed man Douglas was walking about seven miles to street, when he heard the strains of a folly song from the basement of one of the old brownstone houses. "It is my son who is playing," was the proud reply of the woman there to the question that Douglas stopped to ask, and going in, he found a boy of thirteen or threeabouts bidding away for dear life. "You do not play badly," the Negro said. Mr Manues was the boy with the violin. On one that meeting grew a friendship between the boy and the colored musician who was the boy he had learned abroad, and who zoned to him from Dane and from Tennyson, and helped to shape his life. Mr Manues afterward studied under the masters in Europe, but it was the colored man playing the banjo for a living in New York who first started him in the right direction. Mr Manues stated that music can be the great lever to raise Negroes, whom harmony is natural, and who has been the original contribution to music that freed America. He was referring to ragtime, which he declared, was by no means a joke. BROOKLYN NOTES Miss Rose E. Buchanan, 220 Prince Street, is greatly improving from her recent illness.

But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten it. The best kind of hair. 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 last from six to eight months. Water not applied will stain it. Kink-no-more it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. No marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes.

Kink-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 keeps it soft. Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded.

Chicago, IL., March 18.—During the past week at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church a reception was tendered Dr. J. T. Jenifer in honor of the fifteenth anniversary of his entrance into the ministry. The celebration of this golden jubilee was given under the auspices of the Ministers' Alliance of Chicago and vicinity, and a citizens' committee. He was surrounded by a large number of the resident clergy and prominent citizens. Congratulatory addresses were made by Dr. A. J. Carey, Rev. Ed. Jackson, Dr. D. P. Roberts, J. Gray Lucas, J. D. Bryant, S. Laing Williams, Miss Hallie Q. Brown brought greetings from Willingham University. Dr. Jenifer believed he should be graduated from that celebrated institution. Other congratulatory letters from Bishops and eminent churchmen and laymen were received from all parts of the country. Dr. Jenifer has been a conspicuous figure in the upbuilding of the A. M. E. Church. There is scarcely a conference in the great connection in which he has not served as pastor, teacher and leader. Wherever he has served he has identified himself with all the forward movements in the interest of the race. One cannot resist expressing regret that men of Dr. Jenifer's type are not more fully appreciated both by clergymen and laymen everywhere. CRANFORD. N. J. Regular Correspondence of Tur Cranford, N.
