WILL OPPOSE 'JIM CROW' BILLS Tatt Will Veto all Obnoxious Measures Passed by Democrats in Congress PRESIDENT'S POSITION Has Always Spoken Out in Favor of War Amendments and Against Disfranchisement Taft's Letters Vigorously Opposing Disfranchisement Measures Planned by Democrats are Remembered. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Washington, D. C., April 2.—The fear that a Democratic Congress, if elected will enact a law providing for the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments will not down. The fact that the Democrats of the House have introduced two bills during this present session of Congress to provide "Jim Crow" street cars in Washington, and the fact that Maryland Democrats have made two efforts to disfranchise the Negro vote, has caused Negroes throughout the country to make inquiry as to where President Taft will stand in the event a Democratic Congress attempts to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and what will be President Taft's attitude in case Maryland Democrats make a third attempt to pass a disfranchising measure in that state It can be stated with a positiveness and empathy not to be doubted that President Taft will veto and bill passed by Congress which provides for "Jim Crowing" the Negro; that he will veto any bill providing for the repeal of the war amendments, and that he will vigorously oppose any effort to detranchise the Negro vote of Maryland, just as he has in the past. Letters to William F. Stone. It will be recalled that President Tait's vigorous protests, more than any one factor, twice defeated Maryland's proposed disfranchising measure. In 1908, when Maryland's first disfranchising measure was pending, President Tait wrote from Augusta, Ga., the very heart of the Southland, to William F. Stone, of Baltimore, under date of December 22, that year, the following unequivocal protest against the measure: I have your letter of December 31, but has not been able to answer it until now. I don't think anyone can read my North Carolina speech with any care and on that base the belief that I would favor such a bill as that proposed in Maryland. The provision that the first class of eligible voters shall be those persons who on the first day of January in the year 1858 or later were entitled to vote at the laws of Maryland or any State of the United States was they then resided, and that the second class, which belonged to voters was intended to vote from the persons these made from the educational or educational which lay in the description of the fifth and sixth classes of persons who were entitled to vote. The sarcastic letter is said of the Upland and Fortia classes, which I described in the citizens of the United States, characterized between Johnson and the state of the election of the proposed section of the male descendants such persons. This is in order to compose such immigrants, and the dependants, from education and property qualifications. we know. The first four include the Negroes at all levels, it is intended to leave the duties from educational certify qualifications, but to all Negroes to them. The law ought to be condemned, it is not drawn in the spirit of justice and equality, having regard to the Fortieth and Fifteenth Anniversaries, and I sincerely hope that no Publica and no Democrat who desires equality of treatment to no black and white races for it. In 1811, when the Maryland Democrat made a second attempt to put forth a law disfranchising the Negroes of that state, President Taft, for his summer home at Beverly, wrote to the editor of the Ballard News, under date of September, the following clear-cut letter: I have your letter concerning the amendment which it proposed by the Democratic party in Maryland to adopt. I already, in another letter, mentioned my intention in regard to the current character. It is deliberately drawn to impose educational and other qualifications for the suffrage upon Negroes and to exempt everybody else from such qualifications. This is gross injustice and is a violation of the spirit of the Fifteenth Amendment. If ought to be voted down by everyone, whether Democrat or The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

President's Greensboro Speech. In 1906, long before his nomination for the Presidency, in a speech delivered at Greensboro, N. C., Mr. Taft said: It is impossible to frame a law establishing an educational qualification for suffrage which will stand the test of the Fifteenth Amendment, and which will not ultimately operate, no matter what the qualification or present effect, to exclude impartially the Negroes and whites from the ballot. GROOM-TO-BE MISSING; WEDDING IS POSTPONED Marriage of Miss Eley to Harry Pendleton is Called Off SAID TO BE A MARRIED MAN Tarrytown, Mr. Eley could not tell where Pendleton's wife is, if he has one, and knows very little about the former history of Pendleton. Although he did not officiate at a wedding Sunday at Zion A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. Mr. Eley is pastor, Bishop Waters preached Sunday afternoon and administered confirmation. THE NEGRO IN CITIES Prof. Haynes Speaks Before Ethical Culture Society on Problem—Says TESTIMONIAL TITLE TO WOMEN WORK Young Women's Music Entertains at South Presbyterian WOMEN HOLD CHOICE Thus it will be seen that whether he happened to be in the square deal state of Massachusetts, or down in the bourbon South, he has never failed to ring true on the question of suffrage for the Negro. Your correspondent has the unqualified statements of President Taft that not only will he veto any disranchising or "Jim Crow" measure sent to him, but he will oppose all such measures with all the vigor at his command. As long as William Howard Taft is President no law will be spread on the Federal statute books curtailing the rights and privileges of the Negro, unless over his veto. He has affirmed this in public speech, in personal letters, and in private conversation. President Taft is unalterably opposed to the restriction of suffrage for the Negro, and just as unalterably opposed to other "Jim Crow" laws. DISTRICT LEADERS NAMED Dr. E. P. Roberts Makes Appointments In Districts Represented by Wond and Lee Men-To Act Until Primary is Held. Dr. E. P.

April 2.—Among the many bills killed by the Legislature which adjourned sine die Monday night was one providing for the running of colored schools in the counties for at least nine months, the length of time white schools must be kept open. The bill was killed by Democratic votes while in committee. Several weeks ago a bill to penalize lynching and lynchery was killed. Marriage of Miss Eley to Harry Pendleton is Called Off Parents Hear Day Before Date of Wed- ding Prescription filed a Wife - Statement of the Rev. Mr. Eley. Special to The New York Agn BRIDGEPORT, Conn., April 2.—There was no ringing of wedding bells Sunday in Bridgeport in celebration of the marriage of Miss Esther Elizabeth Eley, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Hey, 12 Gregory street, to Harry Pendleton, and the wedding has been indefinitely postponed, owing to the disappearance of the groom. Saturday afternoon when the home of the Eley family was filled with costly wedding gifts and all arrangements for the wedding had been completed the father of the bride-to-be made public announcement that the wedding would be indefinitely postponed. It was later learned that Pendleton had suddenly left Bridgeport and could not be located. Investigation brought to light that the groom-to-be had left his boarding place of Elm street, and that he had taken his trunk with him. The postponement of the wedding and the disappearance of Pendleton is the chief topic for conversation among the colored citizens of this city, and the consensus of opinion is that the wedding will never take place. The parent of the bride-to-be are wrought with Pendleton's actions and are in favor of Miss Eley having anything more to do with the missing man. The Rev. Eley has given the following statement: "I have learned, or have reason to believe, that the young man who has been paying attention to my daughter is already married. Consequently he cannot marry my daughter. Saturday morning Mr. Pendleton called up Mrs. Eley to go with him for the marriage license, and when she met him he told her that he would have to take out the license under another name, as his wife threatened to make trouble. Parents Seek Advice of Attorney. "Mrs. Eley called me, and we decided to take the advice of an attorney in the matter. He advised that all preparations for the wedding he abandoned, and he said he would try and get Mr. Pendleton upon the 'phone at his place of employment, a stable in Middle street, and would advise him to leave town at once. "This is a very sad situation, as all of the preparations were made and I have been obliged to cancel the arrangements. Bishop A. E. Walters was to come here Sunday and perform the marriage ceremony, and the house is filled with wedding presents, many of them from out of town. We had issued about 300 invitations, about 175 of them to people in places where I have been pastor, and many of these people had promised to attend the wedding, and it was too late to notify them to prevent their contagion. "My daughter and Mrs. Eley are prostrated over the way things have turned out," he said. Mr. Eley further said that after making inquiries he had learned from Mrs. Johnson of Elm street, with whom Pendleton boarded, that his mother after she had learned of the approaching marriage had advised Pendleton to leave Bridgeport as "Sadie will make trouble." This letter is said to have come from Tarrytown. Mr. Eley could not tell where Pendleton's wife is, if he has one, and knows very little about the former history of Pendleton. Although he did not officiate at a wedding Sunday at Zion A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. Mr. Eley is pastor, Bishop Walters preached Sunday afternoon and administered Confirmation. THE NEGRO IN CITIES Prof. Haynes Speaks Before Ethical Culture Society on Problem—Says Adjustment of Conditions Necessary. About Segregation. "The Problem of the Negro in Cities" was the subject of an address delivered before the Ethical Culture Society Sunday by George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk University. Prof. Haynes stated that the problem of adjustment to the Negro's newer surroundings is the problem of justice in America, and is chiefly determined by the attitude of the white race toward the Negro. Prof. Haynes spoke interestingly on the segregation of Negroes in the large cities, saving in part. "Along with others, I have been charged with approving this Negro concentration in cities, and some may think that I am not in sympathy with education in agricultural arts, and with other efforts for improvement among rural Negroes. With education in agriculture I am in hearty sympathy, and there is not an effort for the improvement of Negro rural communities that does not have my heartiest endorsement. But what I am trying to call attention to is that the present migration to cities, which we all observe, is a fairly constant movement that will result in a large, permanent Negro urban population, in the face of what is being done in the rural community; and that education and other measures to meet rural conditions, beever effective, should not lead to lessen our concern about the com- to lessen our concern about the conditions growing up in the cities. During this month I have noticed articles in two leading newspapers claiming that there is a decided back-to-the-farm movement of Negroes. There is every reason to work for a back-to-the-land movement of all our population. Especially may we wish the Negro to remain on the farm. But, however decidedly we may agree upon the wisdom of his returning there, yet each opinions and arguments that he is returning are not only erroneous, but wrong, in view of the facts in the case. As loyal American citizens, we need to face these facts and act accordingly. "The second division of my subject is that of the segregation of the Negro population within the cities into districts and neighborhoods. This can be more easily presented because evidences of it are open to every observer. New York has its "San Juan Hill" in the West Sixties, its Harlem district of over 25,000, within about fourteen city blocks: Philadelphia has its Seventh Ward; Chicago has its State street, and Baltimore its Druid Hill avenue; Louisville, Ky. has its Chestnut street and its Smoketown; Atlanta its South and West Ends. These are examples taken at random which are typical of cities large and small, North and South. Causes of Segregation: "As in the case of migration to the cities, the segregation within the cities is caused by strong forces at work, both within and without the body of the Negroes themselves. First, of course, is the natural desire of Negroes to be together. The consciousness of kind in family, racial, and neighborhood ties bind them closer to one another than to their white fellow-citizens. But, as Negroes develop in morals, intelligence, and in their standard of living, they wish to move to better surroundings than those allotted to them and their less fortunate black brothers. This desire, contrary to what some claim, is not because they care especially to live (Continued on Page 8.) St James Presbyterian Church was the scene of an important conference held Friday evening in the interest of lehman girls. In connection with the conference a unique entertainment was given under the auspices of the Young Women's Minute Club, which was in the nature of a testimonial to the women who spend much time trying to better conditions among the young women of the race. The members of the Women's Minute Club were becoming attired in white, and at the appointed hour tiled through the church and seated themselves according to rank in the chancel. The President, Miss Eva Timson, opened these exercises with an appropriate address, which was well received. In the absence of Dr. E. P. Roberts, master of ceremonies, the pastor, the Rev. W. R. Lawton, presided. After a short, pointed talk by the Rev. Granville Hunt, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, superintendent of the White Rose Home for Working Girls told of the work of that institution, its aims, etc., in a most pleasing manner. Mrs. M. C. Lawton, chairman of the Conference of Workers Among Girls, in whose honor the reception was given, was the next speaker. She paid a tribute to the girls and told them that the fragrance from such bouquets would last when flowers shall have faded into forgetfulness, and when monumental marble shall have wasted away and granite shall have crumpled to dust. Mrs. Marie Jackson Stuart, president of the Harriet Tubman Neighborhood Club, and Mrs. Albert S. Reed, president of the Utopia Neighborhood Club, spoke interestingly of their work. The Rev. Florence Randolph of Jersey City, N. J., gave a spirited talk, after which Miss Grace Campbell spoke briefly of her probation work. At the close of the program the honored guests repaired to the upper lecture room, where a sumptuous collation was served by the young women of the club. Prominent among the guests were: Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, Miss Eva Burleigh, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Downing, Eugene Kinckle Jones, and Mrs. W. J. Price. The musical program was a most attractive feature of the occasion and included among its numbers an instrumental solo by Mrs. W. J. Price and a vocal solo by Mme. De Lyon Leonard, which was enced. A recitation by Miss Willa Rowe closed the program. WOMEN'S MITE SOCIETY Special to THE NEW YORK AGE BATIMORE, Md., April 2—The executive board of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference branch of the Women's Mite Missionary Society held a meeting at the residence of Mrs. Lewis S. Flagg last Friday afternoon, which time the quarterly assessments to ministers with poor charges and other business was transacted. Those present included: Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Mrs. D. G. Hill, Mrs. P. W. Worthan, Mrs. E. L. Stepteau, all of this city; Mrs. I. N. Ross, Miss Mattie I. Throckmorton and Mrs. Annie Welah, who presided, all of Washington. AN IMPORTANT MEASURE BILL in Sequence to Executive Interpretation in Agriculture, Trade, and Industry in the States made by House of Represent- atives, Legislature or Senate, or Provincial Assembly to Governor 3 Should Be Enforced. Special to Tup New York Acm. Washington, D. C.—A measure of far-reaching consequences to the future of material aid to public education is embodied in Senate Bill No. 3, now waiting action on the calendar of the United States Senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Carroll S. Page, of Vermont, and is entitled "A Bill to co-operate with the states in encouraging instruction in agriculture, the trades and industries, and home economics in secondary schools; in maintaining instruction in these vocational subjects in state normal schools; in maintaining extension departments in state colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts; and to appropriate money and regulate its expenditure." As originally drawn by Senator Page, the bill contained the following provision. Sec. 3. That is States where separate schools and departments of schools and colleges are maintained for the colored race, the allotment of money for the encouragement of instruction in the aforementioned vocations shall be in proportion to the population of the two races, respectively, and whether the districts for agricultural secondary schools for the two races are coterminous or not coterminous, their total number shall be determined by the number of districts permissible under this act. The bill as reported from the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry does not contain this provision. The provision which directs that an equitable portion of the moneys appropriated shall go to the colored schools was stricken out at the suggestion of Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia; Ellison Smith, of South Carolina, and John H. Bankhead, of Alabama. It is of the greatest importance that this provision be reinserted in the bill before it passes the Senate, or else the Negroes will not get a share of it proportionate to numbers and needs. The state schools of the higher grade for Negroes in the states represented by the Senators objecting to section 3 of the Page bill get practically no support from these states, but are being supported out of the Morrill Fund from the United States, and even this is not equitably distributed. State Schools for Negroes and Whites. In proof of this statement the following figures, taken from the annual report of the office of experimental stations for the year 1009 are cited, in relation to state schools for Negroes and whites in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, the three states whose Senators object to the distribution of public funds "in proportion to the population of the two races." The state school for whites in Alabama has permanent funds, and equipment valued at $758,470; the school for Negroes at $132,652. The state school for whites in Georgia has values of the same kind, amounting to $1,290,866; the school for Negroes $58,649. The state school for whites in South Carolina has funds and equipment valued at $1,185,581; the school for Negroes $254,550. The Negroes of Georgia are 46 per cent of the population. Georgia received from the Treasury of the United States in aid of colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts $35,000 in 1909. The Negroes' shares of this money, if distributed "in proportion to the population of the two races" would have been $16,100. What he receives in lieu of the Land Script Fund of 1892 is $800. In Georgia, therefore, in 1909, the Negro should have received of funds of national source $24,100. He actually received but $19,600. Georgia maintains eleven congressional industrial high schools for white people, at public expense, but not one for colored people. The United States government spent $11,000 for agricultural experiment stations in Georgia in 1909. Practically none of it was expended in the interest of colored people. There are in Georgia seventy-two federal agents stimulating agricultural interests among white farmers, and only two among Negro farmers. These facts and figures tell their own story. From them it can readily be seen that section 3 is a very important provision of Senator Page's bill, for the Negro and ought to be reinserted when the bill comes up for consideration on the floor of the Senate. It will not be inserted unless public sentiment shall make itself felt to this effect. The colored people of the country, and especially those in the South should become active among themselves, and among the white friends of the race in and out of congress to insure the reinsertion of section 3 in the Page bill. Colored hotel men in New York City are holding conferences with a view to bettering conditions the colored waiters and belting Greater New York. According James A. Parker, a well-known employee, during the year of least three hundred Negroes went out of the hotels and restaurants New York City. Until a few months ago colored men was employed at the Majestic sonia, Netherland and many hotels, but the management desire to make a change, which resulted several hundred Negroes being employment as waiters and bellhouses. There was much aid given to hotel men when Whitley one of the old land way, turned out all the waiters and replaced them with help. For thirty-five years the taurant had been employed by waiters, and the change meant the assertion of many that the waiter in New York was in the thing of the past. In connection with the colored waiters at White's restaurant a pathetic story is told of one of the new managers, upon criticizing an old, gray-haired, Negro stood by asked: "Say, uncle, how long have you been here?" "About thirty years, boss," was the reply. "Well, we will keep you for good luck and you can work hereafter as a bossman and carry out the dirty dishes," to which information the Negro answered: "Thank you, sir." A short time ago a committee of colored head hallmen called on some of the leading hotel managers and asked what fault was found with the colored help. The visitors were told that while colored help is, as a rule, competent and Negroes make good servants that in order to run an up-to-date hotel nowadays and compete with the leading hostelries it is necessary to hire white bells. The argument was advanced that white waiters are more mature in color and competent to master the different languages. The delegation of Negro hotelmen was further said that the white waiter is more reliable than the colored, as the former can be depended upon to be with a hotel twelve months in a year, while the latter usually remains at one establishment not more than from three to six months. WOMAN TO PLEAD HIS CAUSE Miss Lucille Pugh Assigned by Court as Counsel for Le Roy Poindexter, Charged With Murder in the First Degree—Both are From North Carolina. When the case of Le Roy Poindexter, charged with murder in the first degree, was called for trial before Judge Swann in Part 1, General Sessions, last Saturday, a pretty member of the fair jury very natty addressed, the court and stated that she had been retained as counsel for the Negro defendant. The female lawyer was Lucille Pugh, and had been appointed to represent Poindexter by Judge Swann. Poindexter is charged with having shot and killed Thomas Brown, while during a quarrel over a crap game in front of 236 West Twenty-eighth Street, March 7. Friday, when Poindexter was arrested before Judge Swann to plead to the indictment, he stated that he had no counsel nor money to secure one. He informed the court that he knew Pugh, whose offices were at 76 William street; that both of them were from North Carolina, and that the female harrister would represent him if the court appointed her counsel. Miss Pugh was summoned to court by Judge Swann, and upon being asked if she felt capable of conducting dexter's case replied that since graduating from the New York University Law School in 1908 that she had not ducted a number of civil suits in the Supreme Court. Judge Swann was vorably impressed with Miss Pugh's named her as Pointdexter's business counsel and James D. McClachlan was ant counsell. Miss Pugh will get from the state for her services.

Simma has just returned from Virginia, where he spent a few days of recreation. He reports that the South has had an unusual, hard winner. While our pastor was away the Rev. J. Garris was with our people through the week and gave them a short discourse each evening. Sunday morning we had a splendid evening. With great joy we listened to an midnight sermon on "The Weeping and a Grief Stricken Saviour." Seven came up for prayer at the close of the service. Our church was crowded in the evening as usual. Our hearts leaped for joy and pressed within the space to us "Concerning the deceased Wife manner." At the close of the service five came up for prayer and three were happily converted. The R. Y. P. U. had a large attendance at 5:30 p.m. Trustee Bloyd prepared a special program for the occasion. Collection amounted to $117. St. Mark's M. E. Church.

Jacobs, Field Agent for Sunday Schools of the South Carolina Conference, was introduced as the speaker. He gave a pleasant and interesting discourse on "The Life of St. Paul" and exhorted his hearers in the language of the past to "Study to show thyself, approved unto God, a workman that such not to be ashamed, rightly display the word of truth," 2 Timothy 1:16. At the evening service the Rev. A. S. Mitchell of Bedford, Va., preached to 4 harte gathering. The Rev. Mitchell was at one time Superintendent of the Sunday School, and he received a wrist and heart welcome at the close of the service.

Thursday evening special memorial service will be held at the Lyceum in the vicinity of the Hall of the Lords. Dr. Ernest Lyon, ex-Minister to Liberia, will deliver the eulogy. George Young will be in charge of the program. Abysinian Baptist Church. An unusual crowd was at the church Sunday morning to hear the sermon by Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., on "Two Thousand Horses Without a Dearer." Every seat was taken and many stood in the aisles. This sermon was a fearless and sensible attack on the evils of the public dance halls, swimming, selfharm, drunkenness and social evils. Dr. Powell stated that he did not expect to be as popular with the public after the delivery of such a memorial but such sermons are greatly exhilarated in New York, even to the exhilaration of the minister's popularity. Powell is preaching this week in Lenton-Ravival service in the First Church (Cherry Memorial) Baptist Church, Philadelphia, of which Dr. Stephen A. Creditt is pastor. He will begin Friday to administer the Lord's餐 in his own church at 8:30 p.m. and to preach Bauter Sunday. Harman a. m.

Mount Olivet Baptist Church After an absence of two weeks, during which time he visited Washington, Baltimore and other points, the Rev. W. Proston Hayes returned to the city last week, and on Sunday morning was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. The sermon delivered at 11 a.m. m. was one of the best that has been delivered by the pastor since his coming to New York. The Rev. Hayes took for his text Juremiah 18:6 and for his theme, "The Clay in the Potter's Hand." A splendid comparison was drawn between man in God's hand and clay in the potter's hand. Both the Sunday school and the B. Y. P. U. were well attended. The young people are making elaborate preparations for the Easter programs both on the Sunday school and the B. Y. P. U. Mrs. Shawwood Human, who has charge of the program of the B. Y. P. U. promises to excel all forerunner Easter programs. In the evening the Rev. C. N. Granderson delivered a most instructive and interesting sermon from the sermon, "How Abraham became righteous." The Rev. Granderson is one of the most noted lecturers of the race and held the closest attention of his audience throughout his discourse. Harlem Congregational Church. When the history of Harlem Congregational Church, which is worshiping at 42 West 133d street, will have been written, Palm Sunday, March 31, 1912; will occupy a prominent place, as the day shall long be remembered by the members and friends of the church. At 11 a.m. the Rev. A. L. Fraser, of Scotland, Eng., who represented the Bible Teachers' Training School, New York, preached an appropriate missionary sermon. His discourse was directed on the East, especially China, from which country he returned a few weeks ago. Ralph Hill joined the church at the close of the sermon. Only standing room was available in the room. The pastor was the Rev. Wm. A. Kirkwood, associate pastor of broadway Tabernacle. He preached a very scholarly sermon from the subject "The Triumphant Entry." The minister received glowing compliments from the congregation, who enjoyed the sermon. The closing sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. H. A. Stimson, M. A., pastor, of Manhattan Congregational Church, before a congregation which taxed the seating capacity of the place of worship. Palm was distributed at the close of the morning and afternoon services. The Communion, will be observed next Sunday (Easter) at 11 a.m. Sunday school school exercises at 2:30 p. m. Easter eggs will be given to the children. MOTHER ZION. Palm Sunday was fittingly observed at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, 127-131 West 88th street. The special services which had been arranged for the entire day were in harmony with the clear blue sky, the bounty air and the golden rays of light. The large expectant congregation were well paid at each of the various services. At 1 a.m. Paster Linden reached from the extinct entrance. He was come into Jerusalem all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. Matt. 21, 10-11. The sermon made a deep impression upon the minds of the hearers, and one lady came forward and united with the church. The choir rendered excellent music and all the offerings were large. At the session of the Sunday school the review and question of the classes was led by Deacon Etoe and J. Hinton, Mr. Robinson, of St. Mark's Lycum, W. T. Brown and Mr. Marshall were also produced and made appropriate remarks. The Rev. Joyner gave an instructive talk on the lesson At the meeting of the fycon at 4:30 p. m. a large number of members and friends turned out to hear the rendition of the sacred cantata, "Prayer, Promise and Praise." Mrs. Daisy Tapley and Miss B. Fairfax were the soloists, assisted by a double quartet. The singing was inspiring and the audience listened with rapt attention. Mrs. E. C. Fearing was the manager and deserves much praise for her work. The Christian Endover Society also has members. Easter Sunday at 6:30 p. m. they will have a "cardinal" meeting. At the evening service Pastor Holden again occupied the pulpit, speaking to a large congregation. At the conclusion of the service Prof. David Martin spoke of the music school which has been established at 202 West 62d street, end of the good being done among the children. He also rendered a jollin solo, accompanied by Mrs. M. Holden. The junior choir made its first appearance and reflected credit upon its teacher, Mme. M. Johnson. Miss Beatrice Jackson of Tarrytown, N. Y., was the soloist and captured all with her sweet voice. The social at the home of Mrs. M. Harris and cantata by the children on Friday night were both a financial and social success. The Sunshine Club will have an entertainment at the church Friday night. April 12.

Y., April 3.—New Rochelle apparently forgot the Lenten season, and last week was one replete with concerts and socials. St. Catherine's people took the lead in concerts, and all were of a high class entertainment. There were various house parties, many of which were given, for the benefit of the different churches. The concert given by Prof. Joseph Bates Thursday evening was one of the best that has been given in New Rochelle, and a church filled with people from the various churches testified to the popularity of the very efficient chorister of St. Catherine's Church. Prof. Joseph Bates spread a surprise on the people by advertising the singer from Oyster Bay, and an agreeable surprise it was to New Rochelle, when Mrs. Lee, of Oyster Bay, appeared in duet and quartet with Prof. Bates and Mr. and Mrs. Buck. The concert was well rendered and a neat sum realized. Mrs. Lete, of Oyster Bay, spent a few days in New Rochelle with her sister, Mrs. R. Hill, Morris street. During her visit she was royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. L. Smith, Prof. and Mrs. J. Bates, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pryor of Larchmont, and others. Mrs. Lete left for her home Monday, after having spent a very pleasant stay in New Rochelle. We would seem glad to have kept her longer. Bishop Walters preached at St. Catherine's Church Sunday, evening. Atherne's churca is Srinivas, a teacher and a general committee appointed to induce the people of New Rochelle to clean their back yards.

New Rochelle can now boast the largest number of Negro boys and girls attending the high school that has ever been known. There are four boys and three girls, and all are doing well in their classes. We hope that with the opening of school in September to see that number doubled.

The Countess of Warwick, who cut down her American lecture tour and attended to England, announces that the strain of long-distance traveling constant speaking proved too much in woman of her age.

Thursday night after witnessing the alleged bat-ball brawl, he was introduced to Joe Kennedy, he was introduced to Joe Jenneatte, the colored heavyweight. "Jenneatte," said Mr. Croker, with a grit smile, "would you fight either of these men if you got the chance?" "Way, certainly, alr." "was the quick "When you ought to be ashamed of yourself," remarked the former Tammy boss, laughing outright. And Janette laughed, too. Under the leadership of Mr. Underwood, the Democrats of the House have tried hard to shape appropriations wisely and economically, but have failed. The desires of the members to get public money to be spent in their districts for their personal benefit has been stronger than the desire of Leader Underwood to make a good tax on the country. The taxes of the government. The apportionment to spend other people's money habitually, when the chance is given, is a common weakness of public services of all sorts, having even got into church government. But we do not expect any good thing to come out of the Democratic party, simply because we few good things have ever into our lives, and we are not appalled at Mr. Underwood's failure to good out of badness. Governor Hunt of Arizona spent a week in a penitentiary cell with a burrow at Florence recently. He fell in with the convicts in the morning, escaped into the dining room and paraded the prison raid of bread beans, a stolen car, and a stolen office at Phoenix he gave it as a belief that all Governors should be required to pass one night in prison. Now Governor Cole Blease of South Carolina, as a shining example, were required to spend the remainder of his prison time in law and race degradation and would that be an unjust restatement? There are several other Governors who could be required to spend some time in jail for the public if not their own. Many of the criminal American history have included the gambit and salaries, and were drawing salaries from state Federal treasuries when their females occurred. We are all interested in Atlantic City and the sort of municipal government it has, as most of us go there in the summertime, or want to do so, because its miles of boardwalk along the waterfront make it a sweet place to sweep the perpiration from the mouth face, and its hundred and one ways to get separated from a dollar just for youth, and other things, had the reputation of being "wilder" when it happened days in the week, with "the best killin' it on roller skates all of One hundred years after the death of Waterloo man talk and think more of Napoleon Bonaparte, "the scourge of Europe," than about the man Napoleon who broke the power of kingcraft, priestcraft and nobility, so that the common people, the Democracy of Europe, might have some voice in the state, the church and the industrialism of which they are a breathing part. That he did not die the greatest and best beloved citizen or Fratice, perhaps on the Island of Elba, instead of chained as Prometheus on the Island of St. Helena, was due to Napoleon's inability to rule himself, to deny himself the gratification of occupying the center and whole of the stage. The allies proved to him that Europe is greater than France, and made a fair provision for him; but after a while he came to the conclusion that if Europe was greater than France Napoleon was greater than Europe. He got what we call "a case of big head," which was blasted forever at Waterloo, after a hundred days of the fiercest warfare in the history of mankind. There is much resemblance between the fortunes of Gen. Boniaparte and Col. Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt's political life has been characterized by a running tempest. Every movement has had the sweep and noise of many waters. He has moved as in a whirlwind since his election as Governor of New York, in 1902, to the present time, and infected the national life with much of his way of "shaking the earth as he moves." By catapulting himself into the contest for the nomination for the Presidency, for a third term, when he had declared that he would not do it, and when nobody expected that he would do it, Col. Roosevelt has not only created confusion in the Republican party such as it has not had since 1880—when an effort was made to nominate Gen. Grant for a third term and it took 36 ballots to nominate Mr. James A. Garfield of Ohio—but he has brought confusion to his friends and humiliation to himself, and made the possibility of electing the Presidential Republican ticket all the harder this year, because of the divisions in the party councils and among the party voters caused by this unfortunate candidacy. The scars received in battle remain long after the smoke of the conflict has passed away. Ever since the announcement of his candidacy Col. Roosevelt has demanded that the nomination should be submitted to "Presidential primary vote," as he thought he was more popular with the rank and file of the voters at the ballot box than with the leaders of the party in regular convention; but we have not thought so. The decisive test came on Tuesday of last week in New York State, in the Presidential preference primaries, when of the ninety delegates elected seven only are conceded to Col. Roosevelt, the eighty-three others being for President Taft. A political Waterloo like that should be decisive enough to convince Col. Roosevelt that he has no chance for the nomination, as the Chicago convention would under no circumstances nominate a candidate so emphatically repudiated by his own state. As if to clinch the matter the Indiana convention on the same day elected Taft delegates, making 253 for the latter and 51 delegates elected for Col. Roosevelt of a total delegate vote of 1076, with 539 as necessary to nominate. Of the total number it is doubtful if Col. Roosevelt will have a hundred in the Chicago convention. It is a real grief that so great a man should have forced himself into a position to fall down so hard. BUSINESS LEAGUE. REPORT.

The report is well printed and is well arranged so as to show in the best manner the interesting exercises which attended the meeting at Little Rock last August. MR. WICKERSHAM Every Negro in America should take his hat off to Attorney-General Wickersham, a member of President Taft's Cabinet, for the brave manner in which he has acted toward the Bar Association and Mr. Wm. H. Lewis. Mr. Wickersham has proven himself to be a real man of the Abraham Lincoln type. The wise man, the brave man, is a good loser, as well as a good winner. Continent abkleking. "Prudel."

We have now more people in this country than can find profitable employment. We raise more food products than people can buy because the gainful employments are overcrowded with workers. The Malthusian theory that population decreases when it over reaches subsistence is reversed here, for while we have steady increase of population and of subsistence we have not the work to make the money to buy the subsistence. That is to say, we have more raw labor in the consuming than in the producing class. To add to this raw labor, then, by alien increase is suicidal. We have now also the economic principle vindicated that where there is an over supply of labor there will be a minimum scale of wages. It is like the fruit situation. In the beginning of the season, when the supply is limited, strawberries hold themselves up as high as one dollar a box; at the end of the season, when the market is flooded, they fall down as low as five cents a box. All things common are cheap; there are very few things uncommon and high people really need. In 1911 there was foreign addition to our bread-winning population, not one of whom we needed, of 878,587 in 1910 it was'1,041,570. The present year promises to be a record-breaking one, as six steamers last week brought to the country from Europe 21,000 people. All this much people are raw labor and must have work because they have stomachs, and we already have more raw labor with stomachs to feed than we have work to feed them. The Southern labor situation has been greatly affected by the influx of foreigners into the mining and manufacturing centers, and it will become more so during the next ten years. The Negro is facing a competitor in all branches of work he never had to face before, and he has got to fight for his job, which is his bread, which is his life against a horde of hungry people who are willing to black shoes if they can't run factories, stores and banks, to feed hunger. Let us bend every energy therefore to making independent business of our own; let us dot the South with communities like Mound Bayou, where we own and boss everything, from a shoe string to a bank. Get busy and make yourselves efficient in every line of activity. $40,000,000. A wise man who cannot command and control riches is a pauper who cannot command and control wisdom; and it is a true saying that a fool and his money soon part company. The common sense that is mindful of the day of small things and accumulates riches slowly and honestly should also be the wisdom that knows how to use them wisely. A man like Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who began life on a wage of $7 a week and is now rated as one of the 100 rich men of the world, practiced the common sense in accumulation which became the wisdom of saving and using when he no longer needed to accumulate. The man who has common sense at the bottom and wisdom at the top of his thought and work will usually be found able to care for himself and a few others less fortunate. The trustees of the estate of the late Joseph Pulitzer made official declaration for taxing purposes that he left property valued at $40,000,000. The state authorities dispute the truth of the statement, believing that it is much more. Perhaps it is, but we are not concerned with that phase of the matter, which the state and the Pulitzer heirs will settle between them. What we are concerned with is Mr. Pulitzer the man as an inspiration to young Negroes who are anxious and striving to get up in the world and to be rated as men of wealth. Mr. Pulitzer came to this country from Hungary when a very young man, and took part, like Carl Schurz and others, in the war that freed the slave. He was very poor and could not speak the English language very well. He was anxious to get on in the world, so he mastered the language and saved his pennies. He was yet a young man, and only moderately well off, when he purchased the New York World in 1883. In the 28 years he owned it he became a great power in American journalism and left property valued at $40,000,000. He did it by sticking to business and the pennies all of the time. What Mr. Pulitzer did in the last thirty years any Negro boy starting now at 21 can do in the next thirty years. Perhaps some of them will do it. We hope so. But it can only do it by applying common sense to making and wisdom to saving the pennies. By the census of 1910 the total Negro population is placed at 9,828,294, or 10.7 per cent of the total population of all races of 9,172,266. Among Negroes there were 65,578* more females than males, or 92.9 males for every female. In 1800 the proportion was 92.5 males to every 100 females. This disparity of males is significant, and should be investigated. BRIAN MORRIS One of the giants of the Philadelphia Tribune, Mr. Just Gome, talking about money, about which we all talk a great deal and of which most of us have very little, says: Money is power. My! what a wealth of meaning there is in those few words, thoughtfully studied. Money is power! If our folks had money—I mean some more money—they would operate large factories, open large business places, publish larger papers, operate big banks and command such high respect that they would know for a fact that money is power. As a clam, we handle lots of money, but we don't know how to make the money we get hold of make more money. But the race is learning how to do so. We must not overlook that fact, but give all the encouragement possible to those who are beginning to buy and sell and to put the money in banks of their own, and to read their own newspapers and advertise in them the things they have to sell or want to buy. Here and there we have a buggy, an axle-factory, a cotton seed oil and a textile mill, and the banks and insurance companies owned by us are growing in number and strength every year. Money is power. But money does not make men; men make money. The Negro people everywhere are learning this fact and trying to make good, and should be encouraged with our trade as well as our talk. ALIENS MISFITS IN POLITICS. The Indiana Republican convention, which endorsed the renomination of President Taft, had the following to say in their platform: We believe it would be unwive and a serious menace to our institutions to adopt and incorporate into our present form of American government an allied method known as the initiative, referendum and recall. This we hold would weaken and imperil the strength and perpetuity of our system of representative government, with the executive, legislative and judicial departments discharging their respective duties and forming a harmonious and stable government of laws administered by wine, just and experienced men. So much for the alien misfits which Mr. Bryan is striving to hitch onto the Democratic party and which Col. Roosevelt would hitch onto the Republican party, with the recall of judicial decisions as another cause of stumbling. In speaking of the workings of primary direct nomination laws, Chairman William Barnes, Jr., of the Republican State Committee, says: Every Republican naturally regrets that a contest has arisen over the Republican Presidential nomination. "A full primary makes an empty ballot box," is an old adage. The antagonists resulting from such contests do not wear away rapidly and it is a matter of record that in those States where direct nomination of candidates have been established, rarely does the successful candidate, at the real election, receive the support of those whom he has defeated, and in some instances is unable to receive at that election even the vote which he himself received at the primary. Let those who believe in the principles of the initiative, referendum, recall, and recall of judicial decisions, get their theories in the party platform the Chicago convention will adopt, if they can. EDITORIAL NOTES The Federal indictments against the beef packers for violation of the Sheriff's order, were dismissed and the people will pay costs of court higher prices for meat. --- Now, the Negroes in New York county who were loud in proclaiming that Colonel Roosevelt would sweep the political platter in the primaries, where are they at?" The growth of Negro insurance companies, especially in the Southern States, is a very healthy sign. An insurance policy is a sign that there is in case of sickness, accident or death. The Philadelphia Record, the strongest and best Democratic daily newspaper in the North, says, without a wink. When convention are the voice for Roosevelt, they are the voice of the people. When they are for Taft, it is the work of the steam roller. And Colonel Roosevelt also thinks "the people are with him, even when they vote for President Taft in the primary. As a rapid-fire marker for the Governor Woolford Wilson of New Jersey is the only candidate for President in Colonel Roosevelt's class. Big hats are a nuisance on the heads of women in the church, in the theatre or other place of amusement or accommodation, or on the streets. They destroy rather than enhance women's beauty and they exasperate rather than invite the good opinion of men. The peculiar case behind Chicago courts. Miss Ether Mercy, who was expelled from the University of Chicago because she accepted as a gift from a man she engaged to a big hat that cost $250, is using the dean for $100,000. We have seen a photograph of the hat. We do not think any jury in Cook county would award her a cent for the dean or for being expelled for doing so. Young women should not accept such gifts from young men under any circumstances. Mr. John Wannamaker of Philadelphia, who has been elected as a Taft delegate to the Chicago convention, says in an open letter: "We shall never promote the ends of representative government by causing one class of people to clash with another class of people, but the goals of government we have, and have had in the Southern States since 1976, down there it is a question of race, but the same results are worked out as in the North and West, where labor and capitalist classes are kept by the ears by crafty political mercenary newsmen, mishusters and all round to get something for nothing, or as near nothing as possible, is the upshot of the policy in all sections of the country. MR. LINCOLN ON TOWNSING CENTURY. Col. Roosevelt has made it appear of late as if he and Abraham Lincoln were cast in the same matrix, and that all he had to do to back up his position on any public question was to quote what Mr. Lincoln said about it. Mr. Lincoln did not know Col. Roosevelt personally, but in his Springfield address on the "perpetuation of our political institutions," in which he deplored the growth of a "mobocratic spirit," Mr. Lincoln addressed the following message to Col. Roosevelt: "At such a time, and under such circumstances, men of sufficient talent and ambition will not be wanting to solve the opportunity, strike the blow and overturn that fair fabric which for the last half century has been the fondest hope of the lovers of freedom throughout the world. "Many great and good men sufficiently qualified for any task they should under take may be found whose ambition would aspire to nothing beyond a seat in Congress, a gubernatorial or a presidential chair; but such belong not to the family of the lion or the tribe of the eagle. What? think you these places would satisfy an Alexander, a Caesar, or a Napoleon? Never. Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. It sees no distinction in adding story to story upon the monuments of fame erected to the memory of others. It denies that it is glory enough to serve under any chief. It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts and burns for distinction; and if possible it will have it. * * * * Is it unreasonable, then, to expect that some man possessed of the loftest genius, coupled with ambition sufficient to push it to its utmost stretch, will at some time spring up among us? And when such an one does, it will require the people to be united with each other, attached to the Government and laws, and generally intelligent, to successfully frustrate his design." In a total population of quite 100,000,000, with an elective system of administration, it should be enough to satisfy any one man that he had been called to serve the people for eight years in the highest place in their gift, and that continuously since his graduation from college he had held minor public positions of one sort and another. The average life of a public man is about thirty years; premising that he is thirty when he begins and sixty when he ends. Other great men of the Republic deserve to serve the nation in its highest position, and it is good for the nation that they do it; but if one ambitious man can have eight years in the White House and then desire and have eight years more, only two public men in thirty years can have the honor; and one of them, more greedy than the other, might decide that he wanted the office altogether for himself and his heirs. The democracies and republics of the past have gone to smash that w Since 1890 the nation has been in an upheaval; labor and capital have been pitted against each other by politicians and newspapers seeking the favor of one or the other; so that while the wages of labor remain about the same the cost of food stuffs, rent, fuel and general taxation have become so high that making both ends meet has become a positive agony. The nation needs a continuation of the sober sided administration President Taft has given it for the past four years. THE ISSUES IN THE CAMPAIGN To the Editor of The Age. If anyone desires to learn the cause of the Negro's present unstable political status, let him read carefully "Why Colored Republicans Should Oppose Taft Delegates," by a "Civil War Veteran and Reconstruction Office Holder, a pamphlet circulated in the newspaper, Let him analyze carefully each reason why, and then the painful fact will be disclosed that not a single issue in the campaign has been discussed. It would seem alienating to a sacred-fruits young man write a proverbially against the adverbs of one so full of years, honor and experience as a Civil War veteran, but the things he mostly advocates in favor of Mr. Roosevelt are needs mostly to discard and forget. If our so-called alliance of power is potent in a national election, it is high time we were using it for the good of the country and not for a few office holders. The eyes of the world are upon America, the greatest experiment of history in popular government, and upon whose ultimate success depends its ability to absorb into an elastic whole. Its divers elements, constantly augmented by allens from the four curvers of the globe. This ultimate success can be so only through the puilence of efforts of each element to produce a united country and not through each striving solishy for executive favor, nor for prostituting its great, potential political power through its leaders, for the leaders' temporary benefit and its ultimate impotency. The Negroes' method of campaigning hasn't changed in forty years. The slogan has always been, and unfortunately still is, "What has the President done for the Negro?" Only recently five Bishops, representing all of colored Methodism, promised Senator Ron, to be so closely linked to the manager for hundred the mass and black votes for the ex-President, the same gentleman against whom they were resolving six years ago on account of Brownville. Their greatest opposition to Mr. Taft four years ago was on account of his being the Roosevelt creature—the impatient, not contented, and not contentedly issued the then President's Brownsville order. Oh, consistency, then are a virtue, and the cardinal virtue of Christianity! Yet these good men are not content with vacillating inconsistency. And not a single progressive reason do they give why the 400,000 must vote for the sage of Oyster Bay. Waiterily opposed to Mr. Roosevelt. I open to conviction, conceding to every man the right to his opinion based on intelligent con- citation derived from classical association of the issues presented in the present campaign. The high cost of lying, the industrial unrest, the conservation of our natural resources, the abuse of power—by the politicians, the corporations and the laborers, the tariff, etc.—will cause this to be more of an economic than strictly political campaign. It is of vital importance to the vast number of Negro bread winners, as they are not protected by labor unions and must work for what they can get; nor can the President of the United States make the union's protection left in the ballot, and its imperative that the Negroes use their suffrage to put into the White House a conservative, constructive statesman, whose attitude and efforts will reassure the return of prosperity, the natural flow of commercial activity and the full dinner pait. General prosperity matters as a paramount issue. Appointment of worthy Negroes to office is a secondary consideration. I respect and honor these Negroes who shall support Mr. Roosevelt for his ability in the science of government, in the arts of government, in the called leader's commercial politics, viz.: for so many offices we will deliver the vote on masse. We must stop confounding and confusing the all-impor-tive Negroes in day with our petty personal prejudice. Mr. B. T. Washington's success at Tuskegee has been attained by hard work and through religiously following the line of least resistance. Yet when Mr. Taft attempts to eliminate the line of least resistance, appointing Negroes to office when it produces a bad feeling, he is condemned for following the line of least resistance to attain a beneficent end, and all Negro voters are ordered to decide a national election on account of an infinitesimal minority, whose apparent benefits none but themselves. I would rather see two worthy Negroes holding office in Washington than a dozen appointed in the South. The presence of the late Postmaster Baker of Lake City, S. C., would be worth time and money any government compensation for his wanton slaughter. Messrs. Lewis, Tyler, Napier and McKinley in Washington (the Black Cabinet) wield more influence for general good to the Negro citizen than could a Negro office holder in each Southern State and all white states combine. This noise can President's attitude toward appointing Negroes to office in the South? Not long ago one of the greatest American jurists passed away, Associate Justice John M. Harlan of the State Supreme Court, the President-in-Office considered Judge Hook, of the United States Circuit bench, residing in Kansas, to succeed him. Instantly protests piled in to Mr. Taft on account of Judge Hook's arrest on the floor of the Legislature by some of Western Legislature. The President, undaunted, however, had determined on the appointment. When the "Black Cabinet" dug up Judge Hook's decision in a Jim Crow case, where he had upheld high-handed laws against African Americans in a Western railroad train, and the President substituted the name of Mahlon Pitney of New Jersey, who was recently confirmed. Where were the Bishops and the other Presidential-in-Office substituted while the "Black Cabinet" worked? All admire the bulldog tenacity of Mr. Roosevelt when he defied the Constitution to stick to his appointment to the White House, and he wields that the President shall, with the advice and consent of the Senate, make these appointments. Neither Senator of South Carolina advised the Senate to recommend the mittee recommend consent, yet Mr. Roosevelt made it a recess appointment. How many remember that Mr. Taft sent the name of Sydney Hobbes to the Senate, the director of the Port of Georgetown, only to have him rejected by the Senate, and then how gracefully he withdrew it, and substituted the name of Mr. Holdmckinley, the present memant. Another great source of dissatisfaction to the Taft opponents is his judicial appointments. No one doubts the ability, the keen legal perception, the ability to pick men whom he knows to the Judge in appointing men to the Supreme bench, he is guided by his ability to pick men whom he knows to be versed in the law, its construction and interpretation, he is therefore not concerned with the politics or previous environment of Justice Larson, who was pitted him on the United States Circuit bench. In seeking a Chief Justice, he was not looking for ex-confederate, ex-barbarian, or Populist, but a master of jurisprudence, and that man was Asst. Judge Jasmin Jasmin, who would condemn Mr. Roosevelt for appointing a Democrat, ex-Governor Jones of Alabama, to the United States District bench. The wisdom of the President's judicial selections can be seen in Justice Jasmin Jasmin, who then unintentionally paid by Mr. Roosevelt in his regal of judicial decisions' propaganda, which he advocates as a remedy for the incompetent judicial decisions. Mr. Taft selects the most competent men for the bench, regardless of the evidence the broadest Americanism. If ten Negroes think the President and ninety millions of people are going to conduct the government, their benefit and as they desire it, are the sleeping and had better wake up. The duty of the citizen is clearly defined. Each voter must think for himself and not permit the political clergy to think for film. Our retrogression is a consequence of our failure because. Our salvation does not in office holders in the South, not in the President's appointments to the Supreme bench, but in God and our efforts to conceive more and more of the funerals and to exercise the duties of a citizen in government for a government of laws, not of men; for a united, not a sectional, country. A PHILIPPINE VETERAN. ABOUT HOWARD LAW SCHOOL. SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3.—Such careless misstatements as to the School of Law of Howard University have been circulated as the result of an article recently published that the following statements giving the true situation have been sent forth from the offices of the University. 1. No definite steps whatever have been taken looking to the removal of the School of Law from its present site. A committee of the Board of Trustees has merely been appointed to inquire into the feasibility of the removal of the school to the campus, and to report its findings to the board. The appointment of the committee is based on the fact that the school has now grown to good problems that its present facilities are utterly inadequate to the future enlarged growth that is confidently expected. Any plan for removal would contemplate the sale of the present valuable site, and the erection on the most eligible site available on the campus of a modern w-to-date building, with large assembly room and lecture halls, greatly enlarged Library space to meet the needs of the growing library, and other needed facilities. The new $300,000 law school at Columbia, as well as the new building at Harvard, is located on the campus of the institution. This would bring students into the atmosphere of university life, giving them the facilities of the Carnegie Library, access to college classes, etc. This is the modern tenure, because all parties interested will have a hearing before any mendation even is made to the board. This is not likely to be made before 1913, as no offer has been received for the present building. 2. The present administration has greatly enlarged the facilities of the School. At much cost an additional large lecture room occupying the second floor has been fitted up, thus relieving the library room from law classes. About $2,000 or more in cash has been expended on law books during the last five or six years. An assistant librarian has been appointed, in order to render the library available for students throughout the entire day and evening. 3. The standards of entrance have been raised to include a four years' high school course; or its equivalent, thus elevating the character of the school, and giving new dignity and strength to the graduates from this department of the University. Even under the advanced standards the attendance now surpasses all previous records, and the quality of the student body has been elevated. Competent judges of the recent public Moot Court held in the University Chapel, state that the conduct of the case in legal skill and knowledge of the law displayed, surpassed the record of previous years. TELLS ABOUT PREJUDICE Dr. A. Schmitz Shadh, Who Lives in Canada, Describes Difference of Attitude of Whites Toward Negroes in the United States and in Canada. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR MILFORT, Sask., April I.—Dr. A. Schmitz Shadd, one of the successful colored physicians practising in Canada, in giving his impressions of the difference of race prejudice in Canada and the United States, said to a representative of THE ACE: "Living in another part of the North American Continent but the United States of America, but under British rule, or rather British institutions, I read the letters in THE ACE bearing upon the question in Jamaica with considerable interest. Now I may say at once that in Canada the colored man is looked upon almost in all parts as a man. There is prejudice in Canada, it is true, but not the same kind of prejudice you have in the United States. "Let me explain. A colored man will meet a most prejudiced Canadian, and a most prejudiced American, both neighbors. When the Canadian gets acquainted and finds the man of color a good, honest neighbor, he will accept him at the correct valuation and forget his prejudices in so far as that colored man or family is concerned. He is at once quite willing to fraternize and does not attempt to ignore him if strangers are about. The American, on the other hand, has a straight kick at Providence for ever fashioning black people with any brains. No action or continued action no character or reputation upon the part of the colored man ever effaces the color line with your American. He underrates you first, last and all the time. And the most sober, honest, brainy colored man is as much a "nigger" to him as the barroom 'Jim Crow', who will sing and dance for a drink. In fact, I believe the latter class of colored person is preferred. Does Not Relish Appearance of Americas. "I live in this new part of Canada where all races are represented, about one-half being Americans. For the reasons given, when a few more of the latter come in I must go elsewhere, because I hope never to be forced to live in a community where I am not a man and accepted as such. I was always received there as a man should be who holds a university degree. The same tree in every part of Canada I have treasured also is located in the West Indies that I have visited. When I travel in your United States of America I am uneasy. Public services are refused or given very scantily clothed with courtesy. "One thing the writer brought out regarding the color line in Jamaica—that was that individuals were recognized, but not the race as a whole. Just there is our trouble. Every colored man feels that he should be received if another is Now, no race on earth gets that social recognition. There is a continued struggle among the white for more individual recognition. That is the only recognition that counts socially, and I may say right here that if the colored race does not wake up to the fact that there is a social difference among ourselves. The white people will never bother singling the worthy out. We get that recognition to a considerable extent in Canada. But how many of us have the cash or the power that causes men to point us out and desire an introduction." "No, each individual must seek this recognition by getting wealth, culture and living an honest, sober life. If a hotel refuses the dining room why do the colored men patronize the barroom? We as a race love three things to well wine, women and show. We prefer spending to saving. Therefore we do not have that one thing that opens social doors—wealth. I have written at greater length than I intended. I originally only wished to point out that individually a colored man can win recognition as a man in Canada, although he cannot have it by simply wearing show clothes and talking loud." The Hotel Belmont Association has moved into its new home at 343 West 51st street, which is elaborately fitted. Much credit is due the president, Thos. H. Alston, who has so conducted the affairs of the association and showed the members the importance of owning a home. The members will without doubt show their appreciation by paying their assessments and taxes to keep the wolf from the door and avoid any financial embarrassments. The Florida season is slowly coming to a close. David Wilson, for many years hallman at the Imperial Hotel, died Monday morning, March 25, at 5 o'clock, at his residence, 4 West 135th street. The remains were taken to Baltimore for burial. Joseph T. Griffin is the steward of the Bellmen's Club, succeeding Rodney Williams, who left for a visit to hisborn in Albuquerque, N. M. Walter Manley has returned from Havana, Cuba, and is back on the front at the Hotel Navarre. Geo. Ledbetter, side door man at the Park Avenue Hotel, is also interested in the League Printing Co. Jas. Wilkerson, captain at the Hotel St. George, who recently took unto him-gell a wife, is keeping much better hours now. La Fayette Fagans is head hallman at the Hotel Cadillac, succeeding William Fisher. William Jackson, better known as "Bill Dooley," is taking a few hearts around the Hotel Bellmen's Club this week. Williams Adens arrived in the city last Tuesday from Palm Beach, Fla., where he made a very successful season last winter. The question is often asked, "Where is the Hotel Notes this week?" Welf, I can't write them unless you send them to me. James A. Parker, 343 West 35th street, phone 2966 Greeley. AUSTIN, TEX.

Loss in business: death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to useference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know this letter an reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

When a pattern is not desired, the operator can use tracing wheel and run around the machines upon the dress lining and so save time in her work.

It stands in preparation on earth. Kinko-nore will straighten the kinkiest klad of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with little trouble the hair will never straighten not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kinko-no-more a wonder worker, marvelously does it its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unlike because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kinko-nore will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin for hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; helps hair to grow; helps hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on time to ship it or keep it on hand, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal money order or express money order.

THE NEGRO IN CITIES (Continued from Page 1) in white neighborhoods, but, because they have learned that they can get better houses, better public facilities, and other comforts of life by the change. Just as the Hebrews, Italians, Slavs, and other immigrants who are crowded into segregated surroundings when a better economic foothold enables them to secure improvements, so Negroes who can raise their standard of living seek better neighborhoods in which to reside. "But the Negro meets an opposition from his prospective white neighbors that does not confront the immigrant who has shuffled off the coil of his Continental condition. For it is a peculiarity of many white Americans that, while in the North, they accord to the Negro political privileges, and in the South they treat him with individual kindness, they do not wish to have him own a residence in the same block. They profess the ideal principle of the brotherhood of man, but prefer to reach over into another ward to grasp their black brother by the hand. "Now this opposition of white neighbors is not always based upon the reasonable objection to ignorance and filth, for it expresses itself as decidedly against the cultured families of Negro ministers, lawyers, physicians, and business men of Harlem as it does against W.

Negroes find that re spectability is hardly a recommendation to impartial treatment, and that even the willingness to pay a higher rent does not often secure houses in desirable localities. "This opposition has expressed itself in various ways. In some cities it has been effective through agents and owners. When the real estate agents owners could not or would not prevea a Negro invasion of a block or neighborhood, sometimes the white tenant and householders have gathered the belongings together, like the Arab, as silently moved away. In Baltimore the opposition has become conscious, organized and secured city legislation while in Kansas City recently it sank t violent criminality, and used dynamic to wreck residences inhabited by Negroes. The Results of Segregation. "And what is the sequel of this segregation within the city?" In many cases it means less effective police protection in others it means unpaved or poor paved, unswept streets; absence of adequate sewerage, ungathered garbage, an the lack of other sanitary requirement. It often causes the respectable and decent to be unable to protect themselves and their families from contact wiice and crime, because the blocks which the respectable and disreputable may live are limited. It means in some cities poorer street car service for the Negro section. It frequently leads to white community to an unjust judgment of these neighborhoods, as may be seen by the sobriquets of "Little Africa" black bottom,"nigger town"; ar families who live in these neighborhoods are all lumped by popular opinion in one class. "The last but not the least serious result is that the better element of white people and the better element of color people are thus entirely removed from neighborhood contact; they know hardly anything of their common life and tend to become more hostile toward each other than toward the stranger without the gates. "Now, with this permanent migration and decided segregation there is developing and crystallization. a Negro world that in many of the cities has a life almost separate and apart both from white people and from the life of the white community. In the North, when larger liberty in some lines obtains, the home life, the church life, and much of the business life of Negroes are separately conducted. In the South, will separate street-car arrangements in practically every city, with separate coaches on railroads, separate schools, separate churches, and even separate cemetery a large part of the life of many Negroes is separate from the whites almost from the cradle to the grave."
