Leading Negro Newspaper The New York Age. Has Largest Circulation VOL. XXV. No. 26. THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1912—Copyrighted, all rights reserved PRICE, 5 CENT TAFT WINS IN NEW YORK FIGHT Col. Roosevelt Beaten to a Frazzle in Local Primaries Held Tuesday Organization Men Confident Throughout Test Would Show Voters in Favor of President COLORED VOTERS·FOR TAFT Claims of Roosevelt Supporters Prove to Have been all Hot Air—Now they Voted in the Negro District. Col Theodore Roosevelt was beaten to a frazzle by President Taft in the Republican primaries held in Greater New York Tuesday at which delegates were elected to the National and State Republican conventions. The defeat administered Col. Roosevelt by the Taft followers was decisive. In some districts the vote was five to one in favor of the Taft delegates. Not only did Col. Roosevelt meet a crushing defeat in Manhattan but in Kings as well. Although the Roosevelt people spent large sums of money and made an aggressive fight to come out first best in the primary fight, out of 855 election districts in Greater New York less than a dozen were carried by Roosevelt. A significant feature of the primaries was the failure of the colored voters to manumously support Roosevelt as was predicted by some political prophets. Even in Harlem where most of the Roosevelt noise was made the great outpouring at the polls in favor of the Colonel did not materialize. Poor Showing of Colored Districts for Roccevelt. The Twenty-first Congressional District, which includes the so-called black belt, Taft received 1,000 votes more than his opponent. The two Assembly districts known as the colored districts of Harlem were carried by the Taft delegates, the Twenty-first Assembly District giving Taft a majority of 330, and the Thirtieth Assembly going for the President by more than 500 votes. The Roosevelt managers were greatly disappointed at the result in the colored districts, as they had been led to believe that the Roosevelt sentiment was so strong among the colored voters that the Twenty-first and Thirtieth Assembly Districts would go for Taft without a doubt. That large sums of money were used to get the colored voters wild about the Collin is generally known. What the Roosevelt managers are now trying to determine is where were all the voters on Tuesday the colored campaign managers promised to bring to the polls in the interest of their candidate. The few election districts carried by Roosevelt in Harlem were by very scant manners. The result is said to bear out the prophecy of political wacacres that the colored voters who favored Roosevelt made the noise, while those for the Taft delegation did the voting. The charge that an attempt was made by the Roosevelt colored committee to arouse enthusiasm in New York City by publishing a long list of names showing that the Negroes were almost to a man in favor of the nomination of Roosevelt for President at Chicago in June by using unauthorized names is said to have been borne out by the results of Tuesday primaries. The members of the United Colored Democracy announced before election day that many of the names used were enrolled Tammany Democrats who were unable to vote at a Republican primary. Not only did the Congressional district in which the Negro voters of Harlem go for President Taft but the Taft delegates won in the Fifteenth Congressional District, which includes the San Juan Hill District. In Brooklyn Roosevelt's only delegate to Chicago will be Controller Prendergast, who was unopposed by the Egan armor men. New York State will send practically a solid Taft delegation to the Chicago National Convention. The President will have 5 delegates to Roosevelt's 7. MINISTERS VISIT TAFT Members of Washington Conference Call at the White House and Exposition Adopted Asking that Government Legislate Against Lynching. special to The New York Age. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 27.—During the forty-seventh session of the Washington M. E. Conference, held at Ebenezer Church, the ministers visited the White House in a body and paid their respects to President Taft, who was delighted to see them and appreciated the many expressions of good will and confidence made by the visitors. Among the many resolutions adopted was one offered by Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, asking the President to recommend to Congress the adoption of legislation against lynching. The session was presided over by Bishop W. E. Anderson, and adjourned Monday. The conference, raised over $20,000 for various denominational needs. The election of delegates to the M. E. General Conference, which meets at Minneapolis in May, resulted in some surprises. The Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, who has been a delegate to the past four general conferences and a candidate for the bishopric at three, was defeated in the election of ministerial delegates. The Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, held secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, was also among the losers. The Revs. M. J. Taylor, W. C. Thompson and Ernest S. Williams district superintendent were elected ministerial delegates. I. Garland Penn, of Atlanta; A. Owens, of Baltimore, and James A. Oliver of Roanoke, Va., were elected ministerial delegates. Among the changes was the appointment of the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes as the district superintendent of the Baltimore district to succeed the Rev. M. J. Naylor, the latter taking Dr. Hughes' place; the appointment of the Rev. S. A. Virgil to Roanoke, Va., and the selection of the Rev. C. Y. Triggs to succeed him at Warren Church, Pittsburgh; the sending of the Rev. S. R. Hughes to Eastern M. E. Church, Baltimore, and the selection of the Rev. C. E. Hodges to succeed the Rev. S. R. Hughes as superintendent of the Staunton district. The Rev. W. H. Dean was appointed to Ebenezer Church, this city, and hice Lynchburg, Va., taken by the Rev. C. S. Briggs. The latter's place at Alexandria, Va., was taken by the Rev. S. H. Brown, who was pastor of the church where the conference was held. The Reva G. E. Carry, W. O. O. Thompson, Joseph Wheeler and Ernest S. Williams were reappointed superintendents of the Cumberland, Alexandria, Annapolis and Washington districts, respectively. Except at Sharp Street Memorial and Eastern M. E. Churches, Baltimore, there were no changes in the number of The Reva M. C. Clair and D. W. Hays, pastors of Asbury and M. Zion Churches, respectively, were among the local fastors returned. DEMAND TRIAL OF DAVIS Newspapers in Georgia Want to Know Why He Has Not Been Tried on the Charge of Doxing the Teacher Dixillery—Cases Will Probably be Called During This Term. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. ATLANTA, GA. March 20—Some of the newspapers in Georgia are making such a fuss over the fact that Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, has been under indictment in the United States District Court at Atlanta since 1902 and 1904, but has never been tried, that it is most likely that he will be compelled to face the indictments before Judge Newman during the present term of court. Three indictments charge Davis with illegally and wrongfully taking from registered distilleries in Georgia quantities of liquor. The records show that the defendant was arrested on bench warrants issued after the indictment had been found, and that he gave a $500 bond in each case. At the district attorney's office the statement has been given out that the cases against Davis have been called at every term of court since the indictments were returned, but that the trials have always been postponed for some reason. RULING UNPOPULAR St. Louisans Do Not Take Kindly to System which Provides that Normal Graduates Are to Be Called Out for Teachers in Small Numbers. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. St. Louis, Mo., March 26—A big protest has been raised by the colored citizens and the newspapers of this city against the new ruling recently made relative to the selection of apprentice teachers who finish the normal course at Summer High School. The latest system provides that the graduates of the normal course be selected for apprentice work in accordance with their scholarship record and only in such numbers as needed. Should this system become operative it would mean that the hopes of many parents, who have sacrificed for years in order that their girls become teachers would not be realized. In the past a normal graduate was called out to teach according to her rating, but she was sure of eventually teaching. If the new ruling is put in force only a certain number making the highest percentage will be permitted to teach. Principal Frank L. Williams of Summer High School has been informed of the unpopularity of the ruling and has been requested to have the old order of things prevail.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND CLASSIFIED SERVICE 1,000 More Negroes Have Jobs than at Beginning of Administration REGARDING APPOINTMENTS Official Patronage under Toft has Exc- cul-d Both in Quantity and in Quality When Comparison is Made. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., March 26.—That the Taft administration has been kindly disposed to give Negroes employment is shown by statistics which furnish the pleasing information that in the classified service there are one thousand more colored men in the employ of the Federal Government than at the beginnign of Mr. Taft's term as President. These figures support the contention of the administration of its friendly attitude toward the Negro with reference to jobs. Much has been said as to the record of President Taft in the matter of appointing colored men to office and the retention of colored men in office. In the absence of any carefully made record giving this information, your correspondent has made investigations and has found that as to representation, in the way of official patronage, now enjoyed under President Taft, the race has more both as to quantity and quality than under previous Presidents. Prominent Presidential Appointments. Here are some of President Taft's appointments which won him favor with the negro voters throughout the country: S. Laing Williams, of Illinois, who held the position of Special Assistant District Attorney, in charge of naturalization at Chicago, by the refusal of Congress to appropriate for such position, was at President Taft's request, appointed Assistant. United States District Attorney at $2,000 per annum. But for the President's action in his case Mr. Williams would have been dropped from the Government service. William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts, held a like position at Boston at a salary of $2,500. The failure of Congress to appropriate for naturalization attorneys, abolished his position, but, as in the case of Mr. Williams, the President caused him to be appointed Assistant District Attorney at Boston, at same salary formerly received, $2,500. Later, as well known, the President appointed Mr. Assistant Attorney General, at a salary of $5,000 per annum, the highest place in the Department of Justice to which a member of our race has yet attained. Upon the resignation of John C. Dancy of North Carolina, as Recorder of Deeds, Henry Lincoln Johnson was appointed to succeed him at $4,000 per annum. The Honoring of Emmett J. Scott. Emmett J. Scott of Alabama, was appointed one of the three commissioners of Liberia, to report upon the internal conditions and needs of that Negro republic. This position, though while temporary, was one of great honor, and requiring a very high order of intelligence, tact and constructive ability, and his selection evidenced the President's confidence in the ability of the race to furnish equipped men for any position. Upon the resignation of Mr. Lyons, as Minister to Liberia, Dr. W. D. Crumm, of South Carolina, was appointed to the vacancy at a salary of $5,000 per annum. Upon the resignation of Mr. Ellis as Secretary of the Liberian Legation, Richard C. Hundy, of Ohio, was appointed to succeed him at $2,000 per annum. At the direction of Mr. Taft, Captain W. T. Anderson, of Ohio, Chaplain of the 10th Cavalry, was promoted to the rank of Major at a salary of $3,600 per annum. Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, was appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for Hawaii at a maximum salary of $4,000 per annum. Whitefield McKinley of Washington, D. C., was appointed Collector of Customs for the District of Columbia, at a maximum salary of $5,000 per annum. Positions Under Civil Service. James M. Alexander, of California, upon executive order was appointed Deputy Collector at Los Angeles, Cal. at $1,000 per annum. This position is under the civil service and in making the executive order, President Taft specifically stated that one of the reasons for making the appointment on executive order was that the colored people of California had not adequate representation in the Government service. Ex-Governor B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana, was appointed to a position in the Internal Revenue service at New York at a salary of $10 per day, and later was covered in on the order of the President, under the civil service, making the position permanent and not contingent upon administration changes. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, was appointed at the President's direction, Supervisor of Indian and Negro Schools of Oklahoma. W. D. Johnson, of Kentucky, was appointed to a position in the Department of Agriculture at the direction of the President. Mrs. Booze was appointed Postmis- tress at Mound Bayou, Miss., at $1,800 per annum. The positions to which Messrs. Lewis Cottrill, McKinlay, Alexander, Pinchback, Vernon and Johnson were appointed are position - not before, when they are once they constituting new places opened to the rate by President Taft. Many Officials Retained. Not only has President Taft dealt generously with us, during the short three years he has been in office, in the matter of new appointments, but in the matter of retaining in the service efficient colored officials he found in office when he became President, the following list of colored officials retained by him attests to his fixed determination to deal justly with the race in the matter of representation: R. H. Terrell of Washington, D. C., was retained as judge of the Municipal Court at $2,500 per annum. James A. Cobb of Washington, D. C., was retained as Special District Attorney for the District of Columbia. Ralph W. Taylor of Ohio, was retained as Auditor for the Navy Department at $4,000 per annum; Charles W. Anderson of New York, was retained as Internal Revenue Collector at New York at $4,500 per annum; Cyrus Field Adams of Illinois, was retained as Assistant Register of the Treasury at $2,500 per annum; Nathan Alexander of Alabama, as Register of the Land Office at Montgomery, Ala., at $1,500 per annum; Gen. Robert Smalls of South Carolina, as collector of Customs at Beaufort, N. C., at $1,200 per annum; Joseph E. Lee of Florida as collector of Internal Revenue Jacksonville, Fla., at $4,500. Dr. Henry Furniss of Indiana, as Minister to Haiti at $10,000 per annum. The eight colored men in the Consular Service, filling consular positions in foreign countries, were also retained by the President. The salaries of the above enumerated positions, held by colored men under the Taft administration, total $90,000 per annum. In the matter of evincing a deep interest in the progress of the masses of the race, and contributing to that progress by encouraging words, attention is called to the fact that in the three years Mr. Taft has been President of the United States, than dozen public addresses urging in strongest language, the most varied, and the best education for the Negro, and demanding that the educational opportunities of the race shall be equal to those enjoyed by the white people. AN ARTIST OF GREAT PROMISE Art Lovers and Creators Highly Praise Work of Richard Lonsdale Brown. Who is in His Teens—Water Colors on Exhibition in New York. The work of Richard Lonsdale Brown, a young colored artist still in his teens, whose pictures are on ex- hibition at the gallery of the Ovington Brothers Company, 314 Fifth avenue, is attracting much attention. Those who have seen his water colors declare that already young Brown is an artist of ability and great promise. Not only have art lovers visited the Ovington Brothers' gallery and expressed admir- ation of the young artist's paintings, but many of his water colors have found ready purchasers. Among the art critics to speak in complimentary terms of the artist is Joseph Edgar Chamberlain of the Evening Mall, who says: Richard Lonsdale Brown is a young artist, of colored parentage, whose water colors are on exhibition at the gallery of Oxford Brothers Company. His work is most favorably described in an opinion of it which has been published in a great artist. Himself a great artist, Mr. Brown has a very precious gift a vision of his own of nature which has a touching quality of beauty." There is in Mr. Brown's water colors a certain hardness and tightness of method which marks his work uniquely and unconsciously striving artist. But in his own individual quality that is very pleasing. He seems to see things in a direct and simple way of his own, and the spirit of beauty broads over all. One of the most charming of his direct and simple view of rare delicacy—a big, bending high above a seat of the most delicious blue. The color in this picture is of an ineffably lovely sort that we often see in nature, but solden in a picture. "Deserted" is a Southern cabin, behind which we feel a beloved against a luminous afterfall. The color is beautiful, and the harmony of sentiment between the trees, the sky and the old cabin is remarkable. "Swampy Pond," "The Elm," "The Apple Tree," "Misty Winter Misty," "Formary Evening"—all these are charming pictures. Mr. Brown is an artist of decided promise. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Notice to Candidates. Notification of intention to run for Executive Member in the Primary Elections to be held on April 18, 1912, must be filed with the secretary of the Committee on Primary Elections not later than April 1, 1912. (Signed) E. P. ROBERTS, Chairman. F. Q. MORTON, 17 West 135th Street, Borough of Manhattan. "The Negro in Cleveland, Ohio," was discussed in a recent number of the New York Independent by Frank U. Quillin, principal of the Central High School of Ypsilanti, Mich., who some months ago wrote an article in which he told of the race prejudice rampant in Cincinnati. In telling of the treatment of Negroes in Cleveland the writer paints a brighter and more optimistic picture than when describing conditions in Cincinnati, and refers to Cleveland as "The Negro's Paradise." Prof. Quillin writes: In the City of Cleveland, the largest city of Ohio, according to the census of 1900, the Negro has almost complete economic equality with the white people. The Negro person is permitted to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, working in that calling for which he is equit and for which he has a liking, just the same as is permitted to the white man. In the other cities of the state the same privilege is not granted him so fully, for various reasons. Not the least of these reasons is that the white people believe themselves to think that the Negro can earn anything that carry their suit-case or serve them atable. To some of these people the following facts will be startling. A colored man by the name of George D. Jones has recently invented a trolley wheel that is sold to be one of the best on the market. He has patented it, intertwined a few of his colored friends in it, and is now engaged in its manufacture on a considereable scale. He has tried to purchase an interest in the business and conduct it on a larger scale, but they have not been successful. He has faith in himself to carry on what he has so well begun. Cities Evidences of Progress A colored man is the manager of a large manufactory, employing about one hundred white men and one hundred black men. The Leonard Sofa owned exclusively by colored people, and colored people only are employed by it. The superintendent of construction of the immense Hippodrome Building, Association held its meetings in 1905, was a colored man and of most unusual ability. A colored citizen of Cleveland is the private secretary of the president of Rockefeller International, and has filled the position for three of the latter's predecessors. Cleveland has honored several colored men with high political offices. A few years back she sent a colored man by the name of Green to the State Legislature, where she sat at the same time something that has not been done elsewhere in the North, to my knowledge. Mr. green is a lawyer by profession. Two other colored men have been sent as Cleveland's representatives in the lower house of the State Legislature, where he is one Negro has been a city justice of the peace for many years. Besides those engaged in manufacturing pursuits and political work, we find many in the professors, and many in the doing things. One of whom is an author it considerable note, having written several novels and more serious works. He has a large practice, and it is not confined by any one to the lower race. He is honored and deserved among the leading white men of the city. There are some colored physicians. Their practice is confined almost exclusively to the colored population. There are also some dentists. There are several colored teachers, and these teach, not in colored schools, for there it has been a colored school in Cleveland, but it was founded (this statement can be made of no other city in Ohio). These colored teachers are engaged in instructing white and colored children alike in the regular public schools. One colored girl, a graduate of Smith College, teaches Latin and algebra in the Central High School, and is very satisfactory in her grades. He graduates mostly of Western Reserve University, located in Cleveland, teach in the grades. The superintendent of schools and others informed me that their work was wholly satisfactory, and that there had been scarcely a complaint from a white parent against his child being taught by a colored child. The teacher of Western Reserve University is a colored man. He has held the position fourteen years. Negroes Admitted to Trades Unions. The colored men are admitted to trades unions on the same equality as the white men, receive the same wages and work on the same jobs with the white men. As many white men and many colored men told the writer, the Negro is given a clear field in which to work out his own welfare, and, if he "makes good, he is respected for it by the people he opposes for it by the people that they are fairly treated and have no complaint to make. Feeling also that it is "up to them to make good," they are steadied in life and get down on their feet more easily than would they have to write how the feeling permeates the average man of the race in the City of Cleveland, consider the following fact: the proprietor of the barber shop in the leading hotel, the Hollenden, a colored man himself, and the leading colored benchman of the late Senator Marcus Hanna in the City of Cleveland, employed in the barbershop, each one of whom owns his own bank and besides has a comfortable bank account. The Negro in this City of Cleveland is given the opportunity of making his living as he sees fit; he improves the opportunity and is happy. He does not complain because the white man does not want to treat him as, his boon, companion. There is no social equality between the two races, and at the same time there is no bitterness over it. Both races seem too wise to let that enter into the relations between them. They are not to say to the other; Here we are, thrown together upon this one spot of Mother Earth. Let us make the best of it. We all must fight the battle of life; we must work in order to live. You have as much right to live as you do and we will do the same. You enjoy the fruits of your labors as you see fit, we will do the same. Ideal Conditions Between Whites and Colored. And, working out this declaration of interdependence and independence, the people of Cleveland have come near to furnishing to the world at large an ideal condition of affairs between the white and colored races. In making their labor, have seen fit to enjoy them separately, following natural law. The two races, in enjoying the fruits of their labor, have seen fit to enjoy them separately, following natural law. And some other natural law must have been working on these strange people of guilt in the past, and they could not bring themselves to realize that there was any "Negro problem," or anything of the kind. Everything was taken as a matter of course, but, when I made specific inquiries as to how they enjoyed the fruits of their labor, to what extent the two races mixed socially, I found out the following things: The Negroes live by themselves in Central avenue, Cedar avenue and Boan street. According to the census of 1900, there were 6,000 of them. The two races prefer to live by themselves in their home life. As the Negro population increases and needs to be met, it, adjacent property is always ready for sale at a cheap price. Mom of the two races may meet as friends on the streets or in business, but it is never carried to the home life. The white man will not think of such things as incest, and this wife and have them meet on the same social plane. This is illustrated by the following case: There is a club of leading literary women in the city, who have met for many years, but who happen to have almost an imperceptible amount of colored blood in his veins. Some time ago it was proposed that the club have a banquet, to which they would puft the blood into the wine, then entered into with enthusiasm, until one of the members happened to think that it would be necessary to have the wife of the colored metropolitan then quietly dropped, the members of the club taking the following view of the matter, as ex- (Continued on Page 1.) PHILADELPHIANS ORGANIZE Interest in Negro Business League Received—Leading Professional and Business Merit of Quaker City Performers, Dr. A. B. Jackson Elected President. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PHILADELPHIA, PA., March 26. Thursday evening, March 21, the Philadelphia branch of the National Negro Business League was revived after having been dormant for some few years. Through the efforts of Dr. A. B. Jackson, several gentlemen had been gotten together during the previous week, and they met again last Thursday and formed a permanent organization. They elected the following officers: President, Dr. A. B. Jackson, vice-president, E. C. Dawkins, groceries and provisions; auditor, C. Thomas, real estate; secretary, John W. Harris, real estate; treasurer, C. K. Brown, produce. The executive committee consists of the following: Dr. H. M. Minton, chairman; Hon. Harry W. Bass, attorney-at-law; William Geary, interior decorator; Charles Bolden, hotel proprietor; P. H. Summer, printer, and John A. Austin, cigar manufacturer. Others present were C. R. Taylor, insurance and printing; P. V. Baugh, printer; F. Martini, grocer; L. D. Holcomb, realtor R. E. Boger, clerks and George M. Geary, interior decorator. A constitution and laws were adopted and arrangements are being made for a mass meeting to be held on the first Thursday evening of next month at the committee rooms of the Emancipation Celebration Commission. With such men as prie movers of this association as are here noted, there seems to be nothing to prevent this branch becoming one of the most progressive of the national body. JAMAICA TO BE REPRESENTED Special to THE NEW YORK ACE TUSKEGEE, ALA, March 26—The Jamaican Government has accepted the invitation from Dr. Booker T. Washington to send representatives from that country to the Tuskegee Conference, April 17, 18 and 19. Governor Sydney Oliver has asked for $750 to meet expenses, and proposes to send as delegates the Hon. J. R. Williams, director of education; W. H. Plant and S. C. Thompson. Measrs. Plant and Thompson are Negroes. BOTH BRANCHES TO RECEIVE MONEY Y. M. C. A. to be Given $150,000 and Y. W. C. A. $100,000 MRS. RANSOM'S WORK Convinced Campaign Committee that Colored Women Needed More than $10,000 PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE Two Associations will Build in Madison and Carry on Work on Larger Sites— Members are Enthusiastic. In the joint campaign being made to raise $4,000,000 in the interest of the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Woman's Christian Association of New York City, $3,000,000 of which will be given to the Y. W. C. A. and $1,000,000 to the Y. M. C. A., the colored branches are not to be overlooked. The colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. is to receive $150,000 and the colored branch of the Y. W. C. A. $100,000. As the result of the decision of the executive committee composed of members of the two organizations, to give the local branches $150,000 and $100,000 respectively, the members of the two organizations are jubilant and predict that within the next few years the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. will wield a greater influence for good in the community. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, who is giving much time and money to the upbuilding of the Y. M. C. A. in this country, has promised to give each colored branch $25,000. It is said that the campaign intended to raise $4,000,000 in meeting with success, and that the two colored branches are now confident that they will gain much success. To Ask Aid of Neare Citizens An appeal will be soon made to the colored citizens of Greater New York to aid the colored branch of the Y. W. C.A. and the colored branch of the Y. W. C.A. in their efforts to collect funds to carry on their work on a more extensive scale. While the white citizens are showing a generosity on their part that has elicited commendation, yet it is expected that the Negro citizens also lend financial aid to the two local colored organizations. An interesting story is told of how the Campaign Committee decided to give $100,000 to the colored branch of the Y. W. C.A. It is said that originally the committee had agreed to give $10,000 to the organization, but that Mrs. Emma Ransome, wife of Dr. Reverdy C. Ransome, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, went before the committee and stated that in view of the large sum to be raised in the interest of the Y. W. C. A. she thought that the colored women should get $100,000 out of $3,000,000 instead of $10,000. Mrs. Ransom put up such a strong argument that within fifteen minutes after she had made a plea for more money for the Y. W. C. A. the members of the committee voted to raise the sum from $10,000 to $100,000. Mrs. Ransom, while reluctant to talk about the future plans of the Y. W. C. A. at this time admitted to an ACM representative that she had succeeded in convincing the Campaign Committee that it would be judicious to give this colored branch of the Y. W. C. A. more than $100,000. Although the future plans of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. have not yet reached a state of maturity, both branches have concluded to build in Harlem. How soon each association will build has not been made public. At the Y. M. C. A. an effort is being made to build 309 to 500 during 1912, and Secretary Thomas J. Bell and Assistant Secretary Eliae Elmendorf are mapping out a plan of campaign which they believe will be productive of flattering results. TO APPOINT MISS CAMPBELL Judges Have Agreed to Name Her Regular Probation Officer—Has Done Effective Work for National League for the Protection of Colored Women. New York City is soon to have a colored regular probation officer in the person of Miss Grace Campbell, who has been doing some effective probation work for the National League for the Protection of Colored Women. Several days ago Miss Elizabeth Walton of the League had a conference with Judges Crain, Muhseen, Ronaldy and Swann on the probation question and during their talk the judges stated that Miss Campbell had done such effective work they thought it wise to appoint her as a regular probation officer. Miss Walton, on behalf of the league, recommended Miss Campbell for the appointment, which will probably be made when the present court has a meeting of the judges.

Some Fever Return of Dr. Abbott to Union Memorial Church, St. Louis. While Others Want a New Pastor—Statement of James Cason. Sr. Louis, March 26.—The members of the Union Memorial M. E. Church, of this city, seem to be divided on the question of who shall be their next minister. Some are in favor of the return of Dr. B. F. Abbott, while others want a new pastor. The Central Missouri Annual Conference of the M. E. Church will convene at Union Memorial Church Wednesday, April 3, and the result is being looked forward to with much interest. James Cason one of the leading members of the church, and representing the anti-Abbot faction, has issued the following statements: It is much deplored by a large part of the membership of Union Memorial Church that each little resolution offered at the last Quarterly conference has become so widely known through the publication last week in The New York Age. Union Memorial, by a large number of representative man in Methodism to fill its pulpit, and now since a change is about to be made a strong sentiment prevails that such a minister will be given the best place in our broad field of Methodism such a minister may be found. Our strongest and most capable experienced ministers should be sought for such centers as St. Peter's Church, and against such an opportunity by any church or Annual Conference in any of these great centers. Such a bar would thwart the ambitions of any sincere progressive minister in our great Methodism. Such is the sentiment among a great number and many leaders of Union Memorial. Furthermore, let it be thoroughly understood that a largely appointed Board of a Methodist Church is usually only a small part of its staff, and that the church should endeavor to promote the welfare of all concerned and not be a great hindrance in the progressiveness of great church work.

PHILADELPHIA, PA Philadelphia, Pa., March 27.—At the seventy-fifth anniversary of Cheyney Institute, held Friday, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal speaker, asked the audience to lead the Negro child into the best methods of practice in education than it is to lead the white child, because our race has not so much to unlearn, only to learn and learn things through the medium of books, but can study the things themselves. The history of the development of the Negro race is that it is always at its best when it touches the self and it thrives in the rural districts and smaller communities, away from degrading influences. The Negro himself may be ignorant, inexperienced, but he is not deprived of the skills that man degrades you will likely find white man degraded to the same degree. Isaac Shapleas spoke of "Friends and the Negro," tracing their co-relation in times past, as regards the black man's place in society under the patronage of the former. Herbert Welch said Andrew Carnegie has donated $10,000 conditional upon the raising of another $40,000 for the department of agriculture.

Jackson, president.

S. L. Corrothers, of Washington, had been invited to the city for that purpose. The Negro dress on "The Negro as a Political Factor." As soon as this fact was revealed protest was made by a score of ministers, and so pronounced were their resentment that it was difficult for the man of the meeting to restore order. It was openly charged by several of the ministers that they were being victimized by those who had called the meeting inviting Doctor Corrothers. The Re of Dr Sancho Jones, preal, the African Affairs Minister, Protective League, of this city, declared the entire body of ministers of the city was being imposed upon by one of Roosevelt's agents, and that so far as the Negro ministers of this city and state are concerned they unqualifiedly take the administration of President Taft.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age. In the Presidential preference prim- aries Senator Isa Follette carried North Dakota by 1,000, and that is all he is likely to get. Did Col. Roosevelt throw his "that in the ring" too late to win the Presidential nomination? Mr. Frank A. Munson, one of the Colonel's own highbrow, thinks so. So do we. St. Patrick's Day does not come but once a year, but the New York frishman makes the most of it when it does. This year's last week, they turned out 15,000 strong. That is some turnout, and demonstrates the existence of a sentiment strong in the life of New York. We judge by the tone of our Methodist contemporaries that a large percentage of the active pastors earnest desire to be elected general officers at the beginning of General Conference. The pastor is waiting for a general office to seek him out and thrust himself upon him has not as yet been heard from. The warship "Maine," which was bown up in the harbor of Havana and brought on the Spanish-American war, was at last been raised from the dead, but at last sea and land, with high powers. The ship was lightly brought on the elements to "the god of storms, the lightning and the gale," and it is just that her final resting place should be in the fierce bosom of them. One husband is as much as the average man can look after, but Mrs. Bohan Scholz is as much as she is in jail at Alleghont, Pa., charged with having married ten husbands. One dead. She says the others after the dead one are no good. She began the marriage business when 18 years old, and one year, arose, another for bigger, must be convinced that she is in a class by her birth. March 19 Col. William Jennings Washington was fifty-two years old, and the council was celebrated by a gathering of 1,000 Democrats at his hom- Lincoln. Neb., the Lincoln Bryan Col. Bryan has been the biggest Digest in the United States, and has held office but once, as a Representative in Congress, where his record was commonplace enough. He forced him before the flashlights in the Chicago convention, in 1890, and he has died in Chicago since. As a long distance talker he stands at the head of The Talking Class. There will be 1,076 delegates to the Republican National Convention when the roll is completed in Chicago June 11. That is a body too large to deli- gate about anything. It can do no more than register the will of the few men who make the slate. Congress- ists McKinley, President Taft's campaign maniacs as a Taft will be nominated on the first ballot. It looks that way to us. The Receivet people have made a lot of noise, but President Taft has got most of the delegates so far. Banding bombs through the mails to blow up people one does not like becoming common in New York. Judge Otto A. Rosalakis is the latest victim. He escaped death by a scratch, and was shot by a bullet. He last week, with a bomb, as his father before him was, also failed. The bomb throwing habit has reached China even, and may be expected to make its appearance in Africa at any person has to be cautious. Governments indicate this mail of bon bon box shape and size. New Mexico has not long been admitted to the Union. As a Territory it was a troublesome proposition. The population of it, like that of Oklahoma, is badly mixed as to 'race, color and previous condition', and to mornals. The country only herds of donkeys at Albuquerque, and among the first fruits was the arrest of four members of the House for reviving bribes. They are Julian Trulette and J. L. Jacero of Rio Arriba county, and Tomas Cordova and Luis Perez, both of which are puzzling about the name of any of it or them except county. It all sounds like a Spanish roll call. There are said to be over 800 churches in New York City, and most of them are interested in the Religious Forward Movement, now in progressive campaign to interest people in Christian work who have not heretofore been there in a general tendency to break the tradition of Christian moorings, begun with the foreign immigration, in 1820, that up to 1892, amounted to 20,901,816, or a population of 76,303,287. During the last decade the whole population increased to over a hundred million in winter and over thirty million of the total. The largest have wrecked the Christian Sabbath, with its rigid separation of the saints from the sinners, the social sheep from the social goats, the good from the bad; substituting for the Puritan Sabbath the Continental Sunday, which was more forceful on the day of the holy Europe, with reinforcing the mourning "murder" in "the wide open" town and city, making a frolic day of Sunday. Out national greatness was built upon the Puritan Sabbath and culture of the head and heart; we shall fortunate indeed if the national life is not erected finally by the Conti- tional Church, which was born the Christian Sabbath morality of our fathers. There are some truths so good and useful that they never grow old. The simpler they are the more good and useful they are, as a vast majority of mankind are governed in their daily living by the common sense of philosophy rather than the philosophy of common sense; that is to say, while they understand that one cent buys one apple and one apple buys one cent, they do not understand the philosophy that gives purchasing power to the penny and the production and transportation of the apple, so that the one is worth a penny to the vender and the other a penny to the purchaser. At the Atlanta Exposition in 1896, Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered an address in which one truth was stated that has had a marked influence for good upon those who heard the delivery of it and those who have since read it. The truth was wrapped in a little story, the gist of which is, this: A ship's crew in distress, who had lost their bearings, signalled a passing ship that they were perishing of thirst. The answering signal was "Cast down your buckets where you are." Their ship had drifted upon a fresh body of water and they did not know it. Most Negroes walk over opportunities day after day and never know it, and others do not tell them because they prefer by trading upon the ignorance of their neighbors to live by the knowledge and advantages of those opportunities themselves. During the recent Educational Business trip Dr. Washington made through Florida, at Ocala, Judge W. A. Bullock sojd, as reported in the Tuskegee Student, many things that bear out the wisdom of the answer signalled to the thirsty sailors, "cast down your buckets where you are," among them the following sentences: What are we to do with the Negro? This must be answered by the intelligent Christian spirit of the people of the nation. We of the Southland are most vitally interested in the solution of this question. This is our land, the land of our fathers, and of our children. Beneath these vineclad rocks and citrus groves, rest the ashes of our dear ones. Below these swift skies and cotton fields we must live, and our children after us. This is the home of the Negro. These are his lands. These are his skies. We must live together. The prosperity of the one is the advancement of the other. The failure of the one is the dissuasion of the other. Our future peace, happiness and prosperity rest within our keeping. God grant that we acquit ourselves as men, non worthy of so great a charge. In this community the Negro is given an equal show in the race of life. He enters into the industrial contexts and exhibits the fruit of industry, and is awarded the first prizes at our county fairs. As a merchant he is liberally patronized by the white people and whiteness wages and merchandise, entitle him to it he is given the chance to establish a home and contractor witness what he is doing in our city. In the educational and industrial lines he are not ashamed. The grand work at Forsyth Academy, under the able management of Professor White, justified our proud heart. Now this white-sided testimony of Judge Butlack will be wasted upon those outside the active life of the people of Ocala if they don't see the wisdom of applying it to themselves and their communities. Like the bread cast upon the waters that does not return after many days, it will be wasted. We write biographies of men in order that all may know and profit by what they soid and what they did, we build monuments to the memory of great men for the same purpose, as object lessons always before the people as inspirations to higher thinking and better living. As Longfellow puts it: "Lives of great men all remind it: We may make our lives sublime. And departing leave behind us." There are plenty of communities all over the country where the Negroes are doing or should do as well as at Ocala. The proposition is up to them everywhere. Have something people want and they will buy it; say something they should hear and they will listen. Do nothing, have nothing, say nothing, and be nothing, hang together. Sometimes men get bigger than the people they want to make them, like Abeloum, who thought he was a bigger man than his father David and got bung by his hair for his pains. The village of Akin, New York, has just voted to call itself Fort Johnson, which was the first name of it, because Congressman Theron Akin, whose father the village was called, helped him with neighbors who helped to make him and his father. He is fortunate who inherits many friends from his fathers and makes many others for himself, but he is more fortunate who keeps them and tempehts them to his hear. President Howard's inaugural address breathes the same strong love of liberty and high devotion to country apostrophized by the three poets we have quoted. In concluding his splendid address, President Howard said: "I entreat you in the name of our sainted fathers, in the name of our posterity, in the name of everything that is most sacred and deed to us as a liberty-loving people, and in the name of God, the Ruler of nations and races, that we join heads, hands and hearts in the upbuilding, the prosperity and the perpetuity of this our cherished home and country. May God save this State!" And people of African origin everywhere will join with President Howard in praying: "May God save this State!" Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis of the Atlanta Independent makes an unusual exhibition of himself and his extraordinary defense of "the good white people of Georgia" in the following editorial: The Independent desires to say for the benefit of Editor Fortune and other Northern middlemen, that in spite of their contemptions that White is innocent, and that the secret orders and churches in Georgia ought to take up money to fight his case, he comes into Court and enters a plea of guilt to lied through his attorney. The Court promptly gives him twelve months in the county chain gang or four hundred dollars ($0,000.00) and costs. The money was promptly paid, and Mr. White is relieved of further trouble in connection with his triumphs. He is in spite of Mr. Fortune's contention that Mr. White could not get a fair trial. The court was so kind and considerate of Mr. White, that he was allowed to plead guilty in his absence, through his attorney, and pay his fine. This was done in spite of Mr. Fortune's that a man can get justice in Georgia; that the courts are not vehicles for race persecution, as he would style them. We hope it will be a lesson to Mr. White, and that he will benefit from it, and cease to publish every lie that he hears and allowing muckraker to use his columns for the purpose of restoring their splen and vituperations against their enemies. Take notice, Brother Fortune! THE AGE has at no time and in no place stated that Editor White was not guilty of republishing from the Chicago Defender the article about the legal lynching of Mr. T. B. Walker for which he was prosecuted for libel and threatened with a lynching. Titre Ace has at no time stated that Mr. White could not get a fair trial in Wilkes county nor justice in Georgia; nor are we satisfied that a man can get justice in Georgia because Mr. White was sentenced to twelve months, in the chain gang, or pay a line of $400 and costs, and to appear for sentence by his attorney instead of in person, nor that what he did publish was libelous because there has been nothing that we have seen to prove it. Was he absent from court by consent of counsel, for fear that he would be lynched if he should appear in person? It looks that way. Did the same judge impose imprisonment or fine on Mr. White who sentenced Mr. Walker to death with a broken jaw; broken by a bullet fired by the brother of the man Mr. Walker killed, while standing before the judge for sentence and without rebuke from the judge or indictment by the grand jury? Were the allegations in the Defender article republished by the Broadway false or true? The Negro newspapers of Georgia are now effectually gagged. The wrecking of the Georgia Baptist at Augusta, and the Voice of the Negro at Atlanta and the muleting by line of the Broadway to escape the chain gang, all links to the gag chain forged in the past seven years, teach the Negro Editors of Georgia to keep the gag in their mouths or expect the gagger on their backs. As a Northern meddler we seek always to be on the side of justice. The Northern Meddling-Anti Slavery agitators were of the same sort. We have more right as a meddler than they had the Federal Constitution, which legalized slavery and gave the slave holder well much absolute power over the person and life of the slave, was against the Anti Slavery agitators, we are with the Federal Constitution in the three last amendments to which place us upon equality under the law with every other citizen in the United States, including Georgia. When there, we protest against had administration of law in Georgia we do not as a meddler but as a coequal member of the Federal citizenship household, in the same way as Col John Temple Graves of the Atlanta Georgian would protest against had administration of law in New York, because he has no Georgia gag in his mouth, but not in the same way as editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis of the Atlanta Independent, who has the Georgia gag in his mouth and the fear of the Georgia gagger on his back. The Ack stands for a square deal in everything and for a square steel in nothing. --- BOOKER WASHINGTON'S FLORIDA TRIP. THE AVE has already called attention in its news columns to Dr. Booker Washington's recent educational pilgrimage through the state of Florida, but we feel constrained, nevertheless, to publish the finely written and illuminating article contributed by Dr. Bradley Gilman of Boston, pastor of the First Congregational Unitarian Parish, classmate of Theodore Roosevelt at Harvard University, and a man deeply interested in every way in the uplift of the Negro people, to the Springfield Republican. Dr. Gilman's article is not merely a record of the places visited by Dr. Washington and those who accompanied him, but is at the same time a thoroughgoing study of the race question at first hand as he came face to face with it in his journey through Florida. We earnestly commend to the readers of, The Ace a careful persual of Dr. Gilman's recital of incidents in connection with the recent educational pilgrimage of the Tuskegee educator. The big sentiment of the country is on the side of President Taft and his safe, sane and sober way of administering the affairs of the government. Big-sentiment and "big business," about which we have so much and know so little, as to what it thinks, go together. They have to. As a signer of the Declaration of Independence said, they have to hang together or hang separately. People of hysterical temperament flock together. 'When the cachinnation fit gets one of them they all get it, and they laugh and laugh, until they have no more strength and disposition wherewith to laugh. But when they stop laughing they invariably find that the one among them who did not laugh, who did not belong to them, had made off with the joke, the thing worth laughing about, worth having. It is that way in politics as in everything else. The Republican Club of New York is composed of leading Republicans who live in all of the States. It is therefore thoroughly representative of the Republican thought of the nation. Friday night of last week, 350 members of the club adopted resolutions indorsing the renomination of President Taft; condemning the doctrine of the recall of judges and of judicial decisions, and declaring against a third Presidential term for any individual. Col. Roosevelt has been a member of the Republican Club for twenty-seven years, but he was not at the last Friday night meeting. The Big Sentiment of the Republican Club went on record for President Taft because President Taft is on record for Big Sentiment. That is the way the whole country feels about it. The renomination of President Taft seems as assured as anything in politics can be. THE AGE stated plainly in the beginning that the Negro and his rights are not an issue in Republican politics. They were not made an issue by the platform last adopted by the National Republican Convention. The Negro issue in Republican politics was settled before them of to-day were born. It was settled that the Negro is a man and brother in the Republican National Convention of 1856, and that he is a freeman and citizen in that of 1808. There has been no change of party creed. It is and has been his to make his position in his party what he will. It is up to the Negro. The Big Sentiment and Big Business of the country favor the renomination of President Taft because he is Big like them. THE STATE OF VIRGINIA DEFIED. As a group of States, one in the policy of the making and enforcing one law and one public opinion for white and another for black and colored citizens, the Southern States, as a group, must expect those wreathful manifestations of the spirit of the law they pre-voice to wrath by violations of the letter of the law. There would be small hope in the betterment of the condition of mankind in the letter of the law could be killed and the spirit of the law could do nothing to even up the injustice. For ten days the State of Virginia, the Mother of Presidents and the birthplace of American slavery, has been deed in its majesty by a few Blue Ridge mountaineers, who recently encountered the judge on the bench, the sheriff, the clerk of the court, and others, in the Carroll county court Lance at Holliday. It is natural, under the circumstances, for some people to look upon the Carroll county mountain outlaws as poor and ignorant, and that Virginia, and not they, is responsible, but the fact remains that there is something rotten at the core in a state when such things can be, and that the body can have no health, when the heart is sick unto death. THE GEM OF WEST AFRICA. We are indebted to Judge Thomas Nevants Stewart of the Supreme Court of Liberta, West Africa, for a convict program of the inauguration of President Daniel Edward Howard, January E-last. The occasion was one of the most memorable in the history of the Black Republic, whose motto is "The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here" and which, we hope, will have virtue enough in the people of the present and future to keep them there, and to make them grow stronger and stronger as a civilizing example and influence to the native posts by whom they are surrounded on all sides, and who need the light of liberty to guide them and hold them true to the restraints of freedom. Three inauguration anthems are given us on the inauguration from which we may judge the national sentiment, a stanza from one of each we give here "liberta's National Anther" begins. And mighty be her powers! In "The Lone Star Forever," Mr. E. Barclay sings: When freedom raised her glowing form On Montserrado's verdant height. She met within the dome of night. *What learning did and did not stare The star of Liberty!* And sending from the walking morn its burned shield of golden fame, She Hifted it in her proud nanc and rounded a Nation long forlorn To nobber dearest! In Judge Stewart's "Liberia, the Gem of West Africa," we have the following noble aspiration: We'll spread our principles throughout Afri- c. And strive to make the whole world know That God, an our one common Father, Wants Justice everywhere to flow Like the waters of the great ocean.— Like the floods where the rivers roll.— And Right to rule throughout the Nations. And Truth to extend from pole to pole. THE MERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION PUT ON TRIAL It is a matter of national concern that the executive committee of the American Bar Association has placed the latter on trial before the bar of public opinion, not only of the United States but of the world, in the matter of race prejudice, to which the executive committee has committed itself, not as a policy, but as a conviction, a fetish. The question of the eligibility of Negroes to membership in the association has been arbitrarily raised by the present committee, in revoking the membership of Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, to which he had been elected by the preceding executive committee, and by passing the question up to the Association for final settlement. We have before us a circular letter written by Mr. S. S. Gregory of Chicago, president of the Bar Association, explaining, as far as he could, the action of the executive committee, and justifying it, and in protesting against the attitude of Attorney General Wickersham and his postal card poll of the membership of the Association. He says the objection to the election of Mr. Lewis came originally from a well known New York lawyer, but does not name him, and that Mr. Lewis declined to appear before the committee and "relieve the situation by retiring voluntarily"—a blackguard way of putting it, one would not expect from the president of the American Bar Association, with the cultured breath of life of Chicago in his nostrils. He claims that Mr. Lewis was elected a member "under a misapprehension," and that "the committee would never have assumed the power, without any action by the association, to reverse the settled policy of the association from its organization, by electing him, had it known the facts." It is worth while to have uncovered the fact that the American Bar Association has maintained, as "settled policy," the color line from its organization, and to compel the whole membership to go on record as to that "settled policy," which it will have to do at its next annual meeting. The civilized world is interested in the manner the American Bar Association will put itself on record upon the color question for the first time. The American Bar Association is the last place in the United States where an honest man would have looked for a "settled policy" of race prejudice. It is a place where justice should rule all of the "settled policy" of its membership, individually and collectively. What the Federal Constitution and Federal statute laws prescribe, and they do prosecute "discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition," the American Bar Association should not sanction. EDITORIAL NOTES. He who despises the day of small things will not be wise enough to appreciate the day of large things. A little bank account, however little is mighty convenient to have in any time of trouble. Mr. James Jeffries announces that he will all book at Mr. J. Arthur Johnson, "the Black Hope" by forgetting at the bottom again and whipping all the "White Hopes" between him and the "Black Hope." There is originality "or you, of the gritty sort, that challenges respect. Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey appears to have a lead-pipe clench on the Democratic nomination. President Obama insisted he had signed it that he has 800 delegates and cannot lose them before the convention reaches Baltimore, June 15. There is nothing magnetic about Gov. Wilson, he as is cold blooded as he is, and service friends or loses when they seemed to get in his way to the White House. Congressman Otie James of Kentucky is a Democrat who thinks like a woman and talks like a man. Such creatures are always annoying, sometimes dangerous. Mr. Otie says President Taft is always doing everything wrong and most generally on Friday. "That is real cute, the saying. It indicates that President Taft is a thorn in the Democratic sides which they would like much to have taken out. Very much of those who think a mill of those whom they oppose and they invariably come to grief by end-restituting the enemy. The Senate at Albany has voted down the Stilwell woman's suffrage bill, by a vote of 21 to 9. The bill had passed the Assembly by a vote of 65 to 62. The Woman's Political Union is not discouraged by defeat, but keeps on fighting to have an unfettered suffrage these days, unless the husband agrees to that his wife is as much of a man as he is. But the Biblical law established in the court of Shushan has not been abolished, that in their house wives shall give to their husbands honor, both great and small. The good man of the Queen Vashti mannish sort can't revoke or override the law of the court of Shushan without breaking up the home life upon which Christian civilization is built. The New York Times page of Col. Roosevelt's Carnegie Hall address, in New York, Wednesday night of last week, when the Colonel showed by manner and word that he is exasperated at the condition of his Presidential appointment and on the issue of the real nature of his doctrine because more and more apparent this American of uncommon force and great and uncommon qualities becomes more and more an object of regret and pity." But Col. Roosevelt does not think so. He thinks that the president is not the one and he with them, despite the fact that President Taft is getting most of the delegates to the Chicago convention.

Jacksonville, Fla., March 10, 1912. There are many things of interest in the world at this season. There are some of the greats of your work, and you may prefer to get alligators; or you can study the evolutions of the turkey buzzards, as they drift and grow. There are many species of the world and the Light Brothers to the bed, with their deftly-potted rugged, sooty wings. If none of these things interest you, there is the fact that the world is the world being along with him his problem, standing to the thoughtful, serious tourist—like a nearly loaded interrogation mark. Of the southern page of American history, that is, the "about about" of the American. What does he do about himself? What answer is he giving in Florida to his own embodied in terrification? T. Washington, the world-famous educator, is wisely and bravely giving his answers to this problem. He has recently completed an eight-day journey of the land and has for the time the first covered, but did not travel there in search of the fountain of eternal youth; he went on March 1, with a dozen friends and helped to Homburg, Rhone, Thebe and the other local Tampa, Jacksonville and other points, and addressed vast audiences of whites and banks, and gave such wise, hopeful words, come back to the sites, own people, and go back to the world. He was rewarded to bring with enthrasing and his white hearers even in the region made notorious by lynchings expressed approval, and urged him to come again and�oing the influence which he had already established. This "missionary journey" was one of several which Dr. Washington has made in the past. Dr. Washington is under the direction of Mr. M. C. Tucker, the colored men's business league of Florida. The object which Dr. Washington has had in law in all these tours has been to secure an education among his own people and their relations to the white race, and to encourage public sentiment in the direction of plain education. The state government already does something in the direction, and private individuals help, but not over 5 per cent. of the total black population of the South, and schools like Hampton, Tinkeridge and Many of the public school superintendents see the need of a more general education for all students. They are charged by an adverse public southwest. The board ment, hostile or indifferent, must be distinctly altered for good by Jr. Washingtons impressed addresses to such large audiences. He does what more eloquent and theoretical speakers often do; he changes the ideas and the feelings of his great man speak to audiences. In this great man speak to audiences. In these have little idea of his addresses to Southern gatherings, where he has his own pooled number of whites and has also a considerable number of whites to begin the session in ill-conceived equity. The dramatic situation at L. J. J. shall never forget: the famous Negro lenders faced over 200 white men about a fifth of his total audience who sat with seconds of distrust on their faces, until his kindly appeals to their reason and better selves softened them and made them his friends. Probably almost every man in that while group carried a pistol; one or two weapons were displayed openly; some of those men must have taken part in the barbarious lynchings which disgraced the town fifteen months ago; but, like a hon of facing jackals, and veritable with the royal men of that king of the forests, Dr. Washington stood forth from his little group of friends alone and gave battle; a battle of right and reason against ignorance and prejudice; and he won; and some of those men said in my hearing afterward, that he was a great man and that the Negro ought to be given a fair chance. I made the similar trip with Mr. Washington through the截谷河 and the years ago, and the other observations and reflections on that journey were confirmed by the answer to the answer. This was only one solution of this question in the Sants: the Nogros are to remain in the same place as the other ones. The non-sense dictates that they be education and the same branch of book education and the same industry. I put it up with the fact that the most important was to make good that I have talked with the leading thinkers and ministers and business men on the other side. It was not to be a credit to any race and a whole of the cause; they have the power to give the signs of progress along their people the advanced of spring in the national school of the people and the development of the Nogros. In the Southland toward all that is charitable of a high civilization. The in the case of a high civilization has increased, and the more the high civilization process has fell the story of that gain in material prosperity which alone will give the black position and power and justice in the South. The most likely is the lack of the in the industry and the lack of the in the industry. But the lack of the in the industry is so high, the clifford themselves that they need to be a grant to the colored brothers the opportunity to struggle forward to that same civilization. A person of trained trust, on going into the field, is often required to be observed by observing the faces and manners of either of the two races what the other would be doing, together, terny and cruel, on the ground of the whites, above in their faces, and below in their hands. A person must be caution and timidity of their black palms. them; and again, where you find the black bank and japan, as in their nature, you may be sure that the whites of that region are the most important people in the world is characteristic of people really civilized. What I here write comes from close personal observation and I may say that the north and south are the ignorant sexual "crackers" the vicious lower classes of the whites, the higher grades of white men tend to meet, in their treatment of the as yet in mature black race; sometimes, when education it is as hand some educated white men are treated with insults or tensions of "niggers"; but this is usually the political effect; he is after the ignorant crackers; vote; and very likely he is the helper of a half dozen colored neighbors. At Tallahamhe I overheard significant comment on the closing words of Mr. Washburn, who was a man of mind and hands on the common; a group of white men had been listening closely, and I found millely, to the speaker's words; then at courtship, and subsequently, "That's true, he says about our trusting each other; you know we have left to-day, part of our niggers, and there some outside, with our world we had trusted them with." A charming and effective feature of the choral meetings was the singing by the bluesmen once ence (usually a thousand of them) of the real "songs of slavery;" not the tawdier negro-minstrel songs of later white com- fity and more recent fifty and more years ago; the singing was led by Major Moton, of Hampton, that spectively sung, with the physique of a seventeen-year-old boy, and of seventeen. This singing seemed to engage the various elements in the audience together, before Dr. Washington gave his ad- dition, before Dr. Washington gave his ad- dition of this patient, tolling, lovingly as they groped their way out of their cap-itivity, singing as they came, with faith in God and confidence in the day-star which was rising out of their night of gloom. Many a time I have heard the ditto man by bye-condemn prophets like Thomas Dixon, who is capable of a moderate degree of academic education, but could never go very high. He is a graduate of a moderate degree of academic education, but could never go very high. He is a member of Dr. Washington's party through Florida was a young colored man who is a graduate of Harvard, also of Oxford as a graduate of Harvard, and of any man, of any race (as a Harvard man) I speak who possessed a more genuine and less formal man, does this young man, not in manners and voice alone, but in tastes and inner stance, among the most graduated from our university, and by two and three, into the ranks of the professionals; but those "exceptions" are now numerous to the longer called "exceptions" them in the South; and similar results will be reached in the case of colored men in steadily increasing. It is high time that we laid aside the bungoo of "social equality." Dr. Washington and all other educated colored men合合 direction; they urge, with great earnestness, that the Negroes keep to their own social life, that they develop all they can, whatever misgiving of the races there may be in the business life is easily arranged, but socially, colored men and women are not so apart by themselves and already, in earnest, been admitted, on my rounds of journalistic inquiry, into many charming negro homes, where good taste was the rule and the good sense was the taste and hard hospitality were extended to me. There are two marked attitudes among the white people of the South, more marked now than twenty years ago. One is the crowing distrust of themselves among the ignorant "crackers" and their anxiety about the evolving blacks around them; these slow whites figure in the lynching mobs, they are jealous of the black man's capacity for business, and envious of his increased prosperity, many a cruel whipping and some savage lynching arise out of this envy and jealousy which shirks work and takes refuge in brutal tyranny. Then, another attitude is that of the well-to-do, educated, kindly Southern white man, who feels sympathy and a sense of justice, but has not thought out the Negro problem; and this man says, by vote at home and by pen in the newspapers and magazines, that he is willing to grant the colored man everything except "social equality" and the power of rolling, in place among the town and city officials. I have already spoken of the bungalows of equality and regarding the power to the power to the man, black or white, should rule. A city of state official, because of his color, should be the officer of the community if some Negroes in a community are well fitted to guide the officers of their community, and if some Negroes in a community equally competent white people, that principle and responsibility. This method was what brought Atlanta out of her or her man's grasp. The officer of the community of the best man of both races was formed and commanded the confidence of the man, and out of that champion officer and crew. at the close of Dr. Washington's ad dress at Tampa. I accorded, pleasantly, the two dresses of the two men, both in one said: "Booker Washington is a man as can be found in the world to do." And the other man said: "The whole state and interrelationship of the two men is Washington told about the colored bishop and the white back driver." And this is the Carolina, a colored bishop of Dr. Washington's party was anxious to catch a train he addressed a white backman. Take me in, and I will tell you how you take a quarter. The backman replied like the quarter but I can't drive a Negro in my back. Then the resourceful bishop got on his train and you take a back seat and I will take a seat and drive." And this was done, the colored bishop got his train and the backman on his quarter. We gained by the traction that we had basis of an intelligent, reasonable self interest upon which the future relations of the South must be established, and about the ideal of human brotherhood, which in time will come into its own. Springfield (Mass. Republican. Weighed and Found Wanting. To the Editor of The Art The letters appearing in The Ace speaking of certain Negro "leaders" in Atlanta and other places are timely in use. Let us have them in abundance. Our Atlanta man "Ten" has been worked and found wanting. I remain. Yours truly, E. B. WEBSTER. Sellers, S. C. About False Leadership Under the caption of "False Leadership" in your issue of February 25, you call attention to reputed utterances of George H. H. Lincoln Johnson of Georgia in that state. Like yourself, I do not know nor have I any way of knowing whether Mr. Johnson ever made such statement. In fact, I am inclined to believe that he has been misquoted, and that he has been spoken of as a mainly man, however, gives me an opportunity to speak of a similar incident which happened sometime ago in this state. It was in the Republican state over the few Negro delegates therein were the few cheap honors, all that they ever gave out this way, when one of our distinguished leaders (2) got the floor and in thunder tones explained, "Mr. man, am purply within to follow the direction of my party." As de leader of my party, I say to yo' that all we speeches in thawed-all-mighty's world, is to be given some of the political crumbs dat draps from yo' political table." Need I say more of the political leadership of the race? SILAS HARRIS Kansas City, Mo.

Church and spoke quite lengthy in the Sunday school. The school appreciated their presence. MUSIC AND THE STAGE LESTER A. WALTON IN THE MUSICAL WORLD TWO musical entertainments of more than ordinary import were given last week. On Thursday evening in Brooklyn Mme. Selika, known far and wide as the race's most famous colorature singer, appeared before a small but critical audience at the residence of Mrs. F. Gale, 182 Penn street, while last Friday evening in Washington, D. C., the Washington Conservatory of Music, under the direction of Harry A. Williams, gave a concert before an appreciative audience at the Howard Theatre. Although many years have elapsed since Mme. Selika made her debut as a singer in New York, her auditors were agreeably surprised to learn that her voice still retains some of its former vigor and sweetness, and that she is as much of a student of voice culture today as in days gone by when the press and public at home and abroad were proclaiming her one of the greatest singers of her time. Mme. Selika's phrasing is one of the many evidences showing that she studied for years under competent masters. With her knowledge of vocal culture she should prove a capital teacher. The career of Mme. Selika should be an inspiration to all young and ambitious singers of the race who aspire to do serious work. When she was in the moonday of her career her color was forgotten and thousands of white music lovers both in America and Europe took delight in hearing her sing. Mme. Selika is said to have appeared to better advantage in classical music, but before she undertook serious work she put in years of study. Apparing on the program with Mine, Selika were several buds of promise who gave sufficient evidence of talent to merit serious consideration. There was Miss Amanda Kemp, who will disappoint her friends if she does not some day become a finished reciter, while J. Frank Carmand, in his recitations, occaisioned favorable attention with his retentive memory and voice of much power. Then there was Edward Hughes, a promising baritone, and Jacob Pease, a 'celloist, who showed no little technical dexterity. Mrs. Pauline Baxter was so pleasing in recitations that she was compelled to respond to several encores. One of the most pleasing features of the recital was the appearance of Walter F. Craig, who some years ago retired as a violin soloist. In justice to Mr. Craig it must be said that he plays with more real musical feeling than many of those whom he presents at his Pre-Lenten recitals. It would not be a bad idea if Mr. Craig appeared on his Pre-Lenten recital as a violin soloist in the near future. Melville Charlton was accompanist at Thursday evening's entertainment, which was conducted by W. A. White. The work of the singers at the Washington Conservatory of Music concert Friday evening called for genuine expressions of commendation. The chorus of twenty-five voices has been only organized about three months and already its efforts and the conducting of Mr. Williams have marked a new epoch in music developing in the capital city. The parts were nicely balanced, no part at any time being over-prominent. Every singer watched the director, each movement of whose beaten time was responded to with ease and certainty. Every number on the program appealed to the patrons. Nevin's "Rosary" harmonized and arranged for chorus and orchestra by Mr. Williams, with Ernest Amos as solos, was the most exquisite piece of work heard in Washington in many a day. One of the most difficult features to overcome in chorus work is the tendency to make climaxes fortissimo. In the "Rosary" the climaxes were beautiful because of their subdued form. In "Love's Dream After the Hall," the theme carried by "cells, and strings and dainty accompanied by chorus, was very pleasing. The "Song of the Vikings" displayed effective unison, chorus work and the quartet by Miss Rigolotto was finely presented by Miss Mamie Simmons, Miss Charlotte Wallace, Franklin Childs and Dr. Sumner Wormley. The solos were artistically rendered, Mr. Childs, tinger, singing Tosti's "My Dreams" well. Dr. Wormley's rich voice was heard at its best in the "Toreador" song from "Carmen," and Miss Wallace's glorious contralto surpassed former efforts in the cavatina from Gounod's "Queen of Sheba." The Colridge Taylor trio did some fine playing in Rosani's "William Tell," and Henry Lee Grant, accompanying, was just what accompanying should be. The piece de resistance of a very fine program was the sextet from "Lucia," sung by Miss Simmons, Miss Wallace, Messrs Childs, Stanton-Wormley, Amog and Dr. Wormley, with orchestra and chorus. Three character dancers, staged by Miss Theresa Lee, supplemented the program. The Spanish dance by little Baleta Douglass and Dorothy Craft, being especially well done. Those taking part were Misses Ruth Welborn, Baleta Douglass, Dorothy Craft, Josephine Hughes, Lillian Murdock, Phyllis Terrell, Ruth Gordon, Pearle Brown, Katie Nolle, Algernon Pryor, Jewel Jennifer, Oodle, Katie Smith, Mary Terrell, Grace Gibbs, Ruby Holland. --- Orville Stevens, Isadore Blagburn, Masters M.

Gentlemen:— I hope you will pardon me for taking the liberty of addressing you. However, being a constant reader of THE AGE and also having a keen desire to keep in touch with everything pertaining to the theatrical work of our people and I am proud of every advancement made in this particular direction. Permit me to say that I have been waiting with prayerful patience to hear your decision as to the naming of the theatre to be constructed in Harlem. The name decided upon I think the most appropriate that could have been chosen, doing the greatest honor to the three greatest Negro men that we, as a race, have ever produced, and put out before the footlights. It is a great way to pay equal tribute to the memory of these dear young men, each of whom spent his short life uplifting the moral standard of the stage work of our people. I am sure that God must have directed your minds to combine these names and name the theatre as you have. Accept humble thanks, prayers and appreciation MRS. ALICE MYERS, Lawrence, Kats (Gree W. Walker's mother) PEKIN TO BE SOLD. The historic Pekin Theatre, Chicago is soon to pass from colored management. All of the scenery, seats, etc. have been advertised, for sale.

A dress can be cut in seven minutes without guesswork or re-fitting, two hours without re-fitting. This dressmaker is so simple and easy that dressmakers require no personal instructions, and new beginners can learn the entire art in a very short time. When a pattern is not desired, the operator can use tracing wheel and run around the machine upon the dress lining and so save time in her work.

A for very young of the young Negroes tried to attend the public dance along with the whites, but it was made no uncomfortable for them that they do not attempt it any more. Colored People Are Independent. Ordinarily, the colored people of Cleveland are very thoughtful about intruding themselves upon the white people in any way that would be disagreeable for either race. This is shown in their attitude toward frequenting the white man's eating place or restaurant. When I asked many of the white people about this, the usual reply was, "Well, since I come to think about it, I never see a colored man in any restaurant where I eat. I suppose they would feed him if he should come in, but as he knows that there is generally some feeling about that question, I suppose he has the good Telephone 3094 Calumbus NOTARY PUBLIC W.

Each race shows regard for the rights and desires of the other, and the result is a most happy one for all concerned, and Cleveland stands out to the rest of the cities of Ohio are concerned, and possibly there are few like it in this regard throughout the country. The question now naturally comes up. Why is Cleveland's attitude toward the Negro as it is? The following facts will help to answer this question: According to the census of 1900, her population of 381,768 was of 124,631 foreign-born people, 163,570 native-born parents, and 87,740 native whites of native parents. The last mentioned class was composed of those born of American parents, most of whom came from Connecticut and the New England States, where little prejudice was felt against the Negro. The other two classes came from countries not so recently afflicted with the curse of African slavery and hence felt less antipathy towards its victims. The answer that I might match is that this city has been unusually wise in solving a most distressing question and gives to the colored man full economic equality and lets social status rest upon natural law and ordinary good sense. PATERSON. N. J. Regular Correspondence of Titp Ack. Paterson, N. J., March 25.—The annual spring fair held by the A. M. E. Zion Church came to a close Thursday of last week. The workers made the fair a success in every way. The amount raised was $1,400, which will be used to clear the church of a mortgage which has burdened the people for a long while. The annual men's banquet will be held in the lecture room of the church April 12, after which the pastor goes to the annual conference. If success counts for anything the Rev. C. C. Williams, the energetic pastor, will be returned here for another term. The ladies of the Fortnight: Club held an rehearsal for a comedy drama entitled "The School at Blueberry Corners" under the management of Mrs. William Greene, to be given in the C. M. Hall, April 11, to raise funds to assist in establishing a summer camp for children. This club is composed of ladies of all denominations and their work is of much good in our community.
