VOL. XXV. No. 33. MR. TAFT'S FAIRMINDED ATTITUDE Has Opposed All Anti-Negro Measures During His Administration Friend and Advisor of Test Points out Some of Executive's Expressions on Negro Question Incorrect Statement - In the Press Observe to Taft's Southern Policy—What He Really Advocated: Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15. The statement was made by a close friend and adviser of President Taft to an Act representative that despite President Taft's fairminded attitude on the race question he has been misunderstood by many Negroes. Statistics were produced to substantiate the assertion that the Chief Executive has been strong in his condemnation of disfranchisement, lynching and the repeal of the war amendments, and has opposed all hostile measures that have been introduced in Congress during his administration. It is the belief of this Taft enthusiast that the President has been mistunderstood due to the incorrect statement made in the press throughout the country that Mr. Taft announced that it would be his policy not to appoint colored men to office in the South. It is said that the President has not taken pains to correct the impression, believing that his correct statement would speak for itself. This is what President Taft said relating to the appointment of Negroes to office in the South: but it may well admit of doubt whether in the case of any appointment of one of their number to local office in a community in which the race through which they act as to interfere with the area and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee, is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to the office in the South it was explained to The Age representative. It means exactly what it says. That a careful discretion must be exercised in such appointments. Mr. Taft says, however, that he will not appoint any man to office simply because of his color and thus to self-respecting man would wish him to do so. He further declared that he would not force upon any community, North or South, an officer who could not efficiently perform the duties of the office. Expressions of the President. Expressions previously mentioned. Taft were shown to the President's position. a government concerned from the colored race and is therefore responsible for its resistance under a bounded duty to the security constitutional way to prosecute lawful means, the process integrity and happiness of the race, well knowing that in the long run the nation will be judged, and the principles of the Declaration of Independence tested by the treatment accorded the freedmen in securing for them and their children equality before the law, equal opportunities and equal privileges. "Your ancestors were brought here against their will. You know no flag but the American flag. You wish to live under in. Your ancestors and some of you have grown yourselves willing to die for it. You are Americans all, and entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other Americans." The war amendments to the Constitution must be maintained, and I believe that the repeal of any one of them is not even a remote possibility. We have opposed to any effort made to nullify the provisions of the 15th Amendment. Suffrage Qualifications. Before the North Carolina Society of New York in 1908 Mr. Taft said: THIS MILL THE Southern States it is posited that the election laws prescribing injunctions for the suffrage, which square with the Fifteenth Amendment, which shall be equally administered between the black and white races, entithe the possibility of a constitution of Southern State, municipal government by an imminent state, white or black. It is therefore true that the sooner such laws are applied, are applied with justice to the two races, the moral tone of state and community concerned. Negroes should be given an opportunity equally with whites, by education and it to meet the requirements of eligibility which the state legislature in their wisdom devised order to secure the safe exercise of the electoral franchise. The Negro should talk nothing other than can equal chance to qualify himself for the franchise, and when that is granted by law, and not denied by executive discretion, he has nothing to complain of. The proposal to regal the Fifteenth Amendment is utterly improbable and should be relegated to the limbo of former issues. When it was proposed the very year of drf. Taft's election to disfranchise the covered citizens of Maryland, he wrote to the state senate, that "The whole law ought to be codified." It is not drawn in the spirit of justice and equality, having regard for the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments; and it sincerely hope that no Republican and no Democrat who desires equality of treatment for the black and white races will vote for it." Helped Maryland Biomedics When the amendment to the Maryland Constitution came up in 1909 to be voted upon, he wrote from Beverly, Mass.: It is deliberately drawn to impose educational and other qualifications for sufficiency in the exampt everybody also from such qualifications. It is a gross injustice and is a violation of the spirit of the Fifth Amendment. It should be voted on by the Governor or Republican, who is in favour of the same agenda. Discourages Manufacture of SensorFeeling. President Taft has declared that we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretence of race finding manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition, and in spending on the subject said: I hope that you will believe that the manufacturing of race feeling is the last thing in the world I would want to encourage. Government is a series of compromises. Good government consists in reconciling conflicting interests. I do desire to act in tiths matter as so as to promote peace and good feeling between the races that will in time solve every question of human rights in your future. I want to see the white people and the colored people of the South living together upon terms of mutual self-respect and consideration of each other's rights. I recognize the abaie state of encouraging the colored man in his country to serve his country in name of peace as well as of war." In his inaugural address Mr. Taft said: And, recognition of their distinguished man, any appointment to office from among their members, to property taken as an envelopment and apportionment of their property. suitable occasion offers. In his appointments to office the President has attempted to follow this policy. One of the very first acts in his administration was the appointment of Emmett Scott as one of the special commissioners of the United States to Liberia. He appointed to the position of Collector of the Port of Georgetown in the District of Columbia Whitefield McKinlay. He has appointed also Charles A. Cottrell of Ohio to be Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Hawaii. He has also appointed to the office of Assistant District Attorney General of the United States William H. Lewis of Massachusetts. These appointments establish a precedent, while he has filled the usual offices of Register, Recorder of Deeds and Auditor for the Navy, with men of high standing and character. He has also indicated, as best he could, that there was not in his administration any official obligation for colored men of character of ability. Appointments of Quality If Not of Quantity. During President Taft's administration in his aim in appointment of colored men to office has been quality and not quantity, to register men of the younger generation who have prepared themselves by education and training to fill higher and more important offices under the Federal Government. He has attempted in his policy to meet the oft-repeated criticism that colored men were given only mental positions when they were qualified to fill the highest offices of state. President Taft proposes to hold the colored applicant for office up to the same high standard of excellence as the white. For example, he has retained Charles W. Anderson in the highly important position of Collector of Internal Revenue for the southern district of New York because he measures up to the high qualifications for such an office; General Robert Smalls, one of the heroes of the Civil War whom he has retained in the service, has held for many years the position of Collector of the Port of Beaufort, S. C., which shows that the President appoints Negroes to important positions both North and South. In commenting on the Negro in Civil Service Mr. Taft said: "Let me say here a word for the thousands of colored men who are enrolled under the Civil Service of the United States, both here in Washington and elsewhere men who have won their places upon merit through competitive examinations. They are a high class of public servants, and it is my purpose to see to it that every man in the civil service shall have an equal chance for advancement under the rules, and absolutely no discrimination shall be made on account of race or color." When the record of my administration shall be completed, I believe that the colored people will have no cause for complaint or regret, would have the colored people feel that the national administration is in hearty sympathy with their efforts toward bettering their condition, securing justice and securing representation in the affairs of the government.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15 - Within the past week rumors have been current that the Roosevelt people have been dickering with the colored southern delegates instructed for President Tait and that every effort is being made by the Colonel's campaign managers to induce the colored delegates to vote for Roosevelt at the Chicago Convention, despite the fact that they are pledged to deliver their votes to Tait. The managers to the Tait campaign, while regarding the reports of desirability on the part of the colored delegates with him in the convention, knew well that in the convention the delegates would represent the interests of the people, and that all the delegates would be instructed to vote for President Tait with the assistance of his commission. Such well known men of interest as Charles Banks, E. H. McKissack, W. P. Howard and Dan Gray of Mississippi, W. T. Andrews and J. R. Loye of South Carolina and Walter L. Cohen and S. W. Green of Louisiana, who are enthusiastic Tait men, have registered emphatic denials that they intend to vote for Roosevelt, despite the fact that they are pledged for the renomination of the President. One of the prominent Negro delegates, in writing to the Taft managers, denying that the colored delegates were planning to ignore the trust imposed in them by their constituents, wrote: To circulate the report that the colored delegates from the South who are pledged to support President Taft's renomination faith, is an unprincipate form of campaign subterfuge not relished by the colored delegates. Why don't the Roosevelt people cause it to be circulated that the white delegates instructed for Taft are being prepared for Taft are not instructed in making the statement that when the National Republican Convention is called to order next month the colored delegates from the South who are instructed to support him to the end. If there is to be any double-dealing the Negro delegates will not be guilty. The colored delegates have made it known that they are not a purchasable quantity. SQUARE DEAL AT THE WHITE HOUSE Represent to THE NEW YORK ACA WASHINGTON, D.C. May 7 - When Mr. Taft became President March 4, 1909, there were six cohorted messengers and laborers employed in the Executive office. In the reorganization of the office in 1911, two were transferred to positions in the departmental service. One was afflicted with tuberculosis and the President had him transferred to a good position in the War Department in New Mexico on advice of his physician. He died there. Since the President's inauguration three colored employees have been added, Maj. Arthur Brooks who holds a very responsible place at a good salary, William Pannell and Harry L. Mickey. In the Executive mission the following Negroes in addition to several others who are still on the rolls, were employed at the time the President came into office, Maj. Duncan, Amos, Brent, Reeder and Pinkny, Mr. Duncan was transferred to the Treasury Department at an increased salary. Mr. Amos was made an inspector in the customs service at New York at an increased salary; Mr. Brent was transferred as a clerk in the city postoffice at an increased salary; Mr. Reeder was transferred to the State Department, and Mr. Pinckny was given, a place as a messenger in the Executive office. All of these places were filled by the President with colored men. In addition the President appointed the following Negro employees at the Executive mansion: Messrs. Brown, Mays, Jackson and Peters and Mrs. Anne Brooks. When the President came into office there were five colored coachmen and hostlers at the White House stables. On account of clamming from carriages to ammunition bulleaders and hostlers at the White House stables, the President came into office there were five colored coachmen and hostlers at the White House stables. NEGROES TO VOTE TAX Mosley, N.C. May 11. The commissioners have held the N.C. McCim. registrar and 11. W.M. McCim. judges to hold an election for special school tax in district No. 5 for the Negroes on the line between Muford and Jackson townships. As it was agreed that the whites should not be taxed for the colored race, the Negroes have not been taxed, and this is the only Negro district that has applied for the special tax. It is believed that there will be many more and it is commendable, showing the progressive spirit of the Negroes in this county. DR. E. C. HOWARD DEAD. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 14—Dr. E. C. Howard, 66 years old, the oldest practitioner in the city, died at his residence, 1513 Christian street last Friday of diabetes. He had been ill for about two years.

E. CHURCH Colored Members Do Not Take Kindly to Treatment at Conference THE NEGRO IS AN ISSUE Dr. W. H. Brooks Says Conference in Sympathetic Toward Medi and Also Toward White Work in the South. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 14.—The opposition shown by the white delegates attending the M. E. General Conference relative to amending the constitution so as to provide for the election of a colored bishop is causing much dissatisfaction among the colored delegates. There is much talk of the colored members seeding and forming a separate body of their own. Even the conservative colored delegates do not view with much pleasure the manner in which the issues involving the Negro are being disposed of, and Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, New York, made the following statement: "The General Conference is sympathetic toward our people, but also sympathetic toward the white work in the South, and for that reason will never elect any Negro as bishop without some restrictions. Permission will be made for a restricted superintendent. "The sentiment in favor of organic union with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is the strongest ever known since the division in 1844 on the question of slavery. The black man is not the only obstacle in the way, but he is the chief one. "The colored delegates are calmly considering three propositions: "First, remain as we are, with white bishops. "Second, accept the restricted episcopacy. Third, separation "There are a few who favor the first, a few who favor the third. The larger number is inclined toward the second and use that as a means toward the end." NO SUFFRAGAN BISHOP But the Delegates to South Carolina Diocesan Council of the Episcopal Church Appropriated $500 for Negro Archdeacon. Special to THE NEW YORK ACR BEAUVORT, S. C., May 14—By a vote of nearly four to one, the South Carolina Diocesan council of the Episcopal Church decided against creating the position of suffragan bishop, to be held by a Negro, at this time. As a substitute for the Negro suffragan, the council appropriated money for the maintenance of a Negro arch-deacon for work among the Negro members of the church in this state. The resolution against the suffragan bishop proposal was adopted without debate, the council considering the winter's open discussion of the matter sufficient to enlighten all the delegates. The resolution was adopted after the presentation of the majority of the committee, and the minority report on the matter was presented at the meeting held by the Rev. W. H. Barnwell of parishing read as follows: "Resolved: That this council is not the favor of the election of a Negro suffragan bishop at this time." The majority report favor was read at the morning session by the Rev. Walter Mitchell and the minority report against the Negro suffragan by R. I. Manning. Both were referred to the council, sitting as a committee of the whole, in the afternoon. The council took up the reports in executive session. After passing on the suffragan bishop, $500 was appropriated for a Negro arch-deacon for work among the Negroes of the state. This is a new departure in this diocese. DEFER VOTE ON SUFFRAGAN BISHOP. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE SAVANNAH, Ga., May 14—The plan to elect a colored suffragan as bishop in charge of work among the Negroes was approved in the report of a committee of the Episcopal diocese of Georgia at the annual convention last week. However, considerable opposition developed during the debate which followed. The convention finally decided not to take action this year upon the matter of a suffragan Negro bishop. SAVED LIFE. OF BABY. JEFFERSON, Ga. May 14—The hero of the hour in this section of the country is "Soap Lockett." a Negro fireman on the Georgia Midland Railroad, who, a few days ago, plunged head first from the pilot beam of a moving train and saved the life of a white baby. The child, who is the two and one-half-year-old daughter of John Potter of this place, was seen on the railroad track by Adair, the engineer. Lockett, comprehending the engine could not be stopped in time, dashed along the running board, dived from the beam and rolled off the track with the child in his arms. SHAW COMMENCEMENT Thirty Young Doctors and Four Pharmacists Turned Out This Year by the University—Exercises Attended By Representative Gathering. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE RALEIGH, N. C., May 14. The largest assembly of cultured, colored men and women ever seen together in this city attended the commencement exercises of Shaw University Thursday morning, May 9. All sections of our great country were represented on the spacious rostrum. When President Meresve arose, surrounded by his faculty and many friends both from the South and far distant New England, the chapel was full to overflowing. Shaw University has done a great work among Negroes for more than fifty years. It has been a great and leading exponent in the higher and industrial education of the Negro. Young men and women graduating from this school are doing a great work for the elevation and Christianizing of the race in all parts of the world. Thirty young doctors and four pharmacists received their degrees. The following young men received prizes for excellence in study during the four years of their school life: The Lewis prize. S. P. Sebastian, honorable mention, A. D. Brown and F. D. Brown; the Tuskegee prize, R. S. Vass, honorable mention, A. D. Brown and F. D. Brown; the McKee prize, A. B. McKenzie; the Knox prize, J. W. Kay; the Battle prize, J. S. Thompson of second year, honorable mention, Dennis Branch, second year. The music was under Mrs. Lovey. Bachelor of theology, William M. Morris, Latta H. Powell and Washington Scott. Six young men received the degree of Bachelor of Arts and twenty-two received certificates of graduation from the normal department.

D.; the Rev. Geo. O. Bullock, Winston, N. C. D. D. ARTICLE CAUSES CONFUSION. Special to The New York Arg BALTIMORE, Md., May 14--The publication in THE ACE of last week that some of the lodges of the order in Maryland were not going to select delegates to the coming session of the Biennial Movable Committee of Odd Fellows and Grand Secretary Jesse L. Nicholas was a candidate for grand director, which event would weaken the changes of Julius C. Johnson, of this city, for re-election as grand treasurer of the order, created a mild sensation here. Marked copies of THE ACE containing the article were sent to prominent Odd Fellows here, and the local newsstands did a thriving business selling THE ACE. Friends of Messrs Nicholas and Johnson also made inquiries at the office of the Afro-American Ledger, which paper published a similar story, to know from what source the information came. It was the favorite theme among the hundreds who attended the thanksgiving services of the other here Sunday afternoon. BAR NEGROES FROM VOTING. THE NEW YORK ARE Washington, D.C., May 15, 2014 Missouri Walters and other Neo- cars who have been spending a large part of their time trying to show the colo- red voters that the time is ripe for them to join politics with the Democra- tic party and work industriously to elect a Democratic President, in November, have struck another snag. The radical Democrats have broken out again and shown that they are not particular in recognizing the Negro as a Democrat, despite the claims of Bishop Walters and his followers to the contrary. In the capital city last week the local Democratic Committee decided to bar all Negro Democrats from voting in the primaries. It was agreed that the colored voters were not wanted. It is said that Speaker Clark was heartily in favor of the plan to bar the colored voters from participating in the primaries. DOCTORS GIVE SCHOLARSHIP. The Medico-Chirurgical Society of this city has just forwarded to Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, $50 for the support of a student scholarship at Tuskegee Institute.

Johnson has written the Tuskegee educator that the members of the society are with him "heart and hand in the great work he is doing for the Negro race the world over." STOCKHOLDERS MEET.

A sum of money was raised which will be used in the interest of future prosecutions. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS BISHOP SMITH MAKES ADDRESS Important Recommendation Made at A.M.E. General Conference Will Establish New District which will Take in Michigan, Ontario, West Indies and South America Financial Department has Handled $188,199.35 in the Lost Four Years. Balance on Hand $72,000. Special to The New York Aur. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 14—To date one of the features of the twenty-fourth general conference of the A.M. E. Church, now in its second work, was the Episcopal address delivered by Bishop C. S. Smith, who made a strong plea for a trained ministry and submitted a number of important recommendations. Among the recommendations submitted were: That a main building and dormitory for male students be erected in South Africa by the Financial Church Extension departments; that the salaries of the general officers be increased to $1,500; that a new district be established, consisting of Michigan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, the West Indies and South America; that $800 be appropriated annually for developing the work in the new district and that $800 and $1,200 be appropriated annually to West and South Africa, respectively. Another important recommendation was that four bishops be elected at the general conference. Bishop Smith's recommendations were favorably received and sent to the various committees. In his address Bishop Smith called attention of the delegates to the fact that the death roll since 1908 had been very heavy, four bishops and eight members of the previous general conference having died. The report of Financial Secretary Hurst was spoken of in the highest terms on every hand. Dr. Hurst stated that during the past four years his department had received $388,199.35, and that $321,417.56 had been disbursed, leaving a balance of $66,761.99. Dr. Hurst later stated that since the making of his report he had received money which increased the balance on hand to $2,000. At the educational mass meeting Bishop L. J. Copp presiding, addresses were made by Profs. Fountain, Attaway, Chapelle and Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Verton. The conference listened with marked attention to Dr. Hannah who came as a fraternal delegate from the A. M. E. Zion General Conference in session of Charlote. N. C. The address was re-responded to by Dr. Hoyt. "The Duty of the A. M. E. Church to the Dark States of the World" was the subject of an address delivered by Dr. J. J. Jones of Ohio. On the induction of Bishop Flipper a resolution was adopted pledging the conference's support in the giving of the Emancipation Celebration. WINS IMPORTANT LAND SUIT Special to The New York Aer Special to the New York Ack Richmond, Va. May 14-J. C. Robertson, a colored attorney of this city, recently won a most important case in the Circuit Court of Hanover County, Va. The suit, which was styled Sanders vs. Gibbons, involved the ownership of a valuable tract of land near the town of Ashland, sixteen miles north of Richmond, presumably owned by Daniel W. Gibbons, colored of the Borough of Manhattan. New York John A. Lewis, plaintiff who white, claimed that Gibbons had failed to give him a proper title to the property, contract for the sale of which had been made by correspondence. Since the alleged contract set forth in the declarations of Sanders at the time, the plaintiff has greatly enhanced in value, an electric line from Richmond running through the tract. When the case was called last month, the defendant was not present, but was represented by Attorney Robertson, who specially pleaded to the jurisdiction of the court and C. H. Jones, who represented Saunders. After lengthy arguments by the opposing attorneys and the citation of numerous authorities, the case was submitted to the court. The court (Judge Redd) decided that it was without jurisdiction and damned the case. That the plaintiff victory for the defendant and his attorney, both of whom are colored. The land in dispute is located near Ashland, Va., the seat of Randolph Macon College, the great educational institution of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church Ashland is the town whose council several months ago threw several federal laws and laws an appeal in a court generally when an associated Press falsely sent out a report that Dr. Booker T.

POLITICAL CALIFORN BOILING IN OREGON STATE Both Sides After Negro Vote with Taft Probable Winner. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Columbus, O., May 14.—The final week of the primary Taft-Boeveelt-La Fubette campaign in Ohio will see the old Bucke- State stirred from Lake Erie to the Ohio River and from the Hosier boundary to the eastern borders of Pennsyl- vinia and West Virginia. It is a most peculiar situation, and the Negro vote, 50,000 strong, is coming in for a share of consideration, if not its full share. The real condition of the Negro vote is a real mystery to the leaders, but as a matter of fact, the rank and file will undoubtedly support President Taft. There is a story being published in the daily press that Walter F. Brown, in charge of the Roosevelt campaign, has made a working agreement with the Negro voters of Cincinnati and with George B. Cox of that city to swear the Negro vote to Roosevelt. Such a statement is regarded as a direct insult to the integrity of the Negro of Cincinnati. The fact is the colored voters of Cincinnati will support President Taft. He is their follow citizen and friend. When the President was there last week a delegation headed by Joseph F. and William F. Anderson called on the President and assured him their support, saying their feelings were the sentiment of the Cincinnati Negro citizens. In Jackson, Springfield, Xenia, Chillicothe, Columbus, Zarencille and Marietta, all towns with large Negro population, the Negro will vote for Taft. Even in Tolobo, the home of Brown, the Negro will stand up for President Taft. In Columbus the Roosevelt people have for three years under direction of Hirscher, under the political guidance here again the rank and file are with Taft. Even Rev. Dr. E. L. Gilliam, pastor of the Eleventh Street M. E. Church, and Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Saints of Ohio, who fought in this year, and clinches his support by saying if Roosevelt is nominated he probably will vote some other ticket. Auditor Ralph W. Tylter of Washington has been circulating over the state and has done some effective campaigning for his job. Auditor Tyler is a real "gammon fish." Cleveland, Ohio's metropolis, is giving both much concern, but it looks very good. The state has a political leader in Cleveland, Maurice Maschke, collector of economics. He likewise enjoys the dismay of being the Negro's best friend. Illness will "put their money on him," Maschke says. But what makes it sound funny? Myers was the near friend of the late Senator Hanna, maker of presidents. Dan Kanna, the son of son, is the strongest supporter Roosevelt has in Ohio. He is the most popular point, but Myers is for Taft. And Commissioner Thomas W. Floming, representative H. T. Eulenhack, Attorney K. R. Green, Architect W. F. Blue, who for the most part delegate nominees, are for Monday night as Senator Mason of Illinois, spotted at the famous Attack Residents Club in Cleveland. He had with him Private Ballard of "Browns" for Congressman Rosenburg of Illinois, who is the Manger of the famous battalion. Barbados Representatives Make Favorable impression. Special Correspondence of THE AGE Tuskegee Ala. May 14. Among the delegates to the recent International Conference on the Negro held at Tuskegee Institute, were three distinguished representatives from Barbados, British West Indies.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age. Don't neglect business for politics. Keep the two things separate but well in hand. In his speeches in Massachusetts, Maryland and Ohio President Taft mung the changes on the statement that Oil Rooveevel has not given him "a square deal". Perhaps not. The fact in the square deal is the hardest pos- sible thing for any man to give an- other when they both desire the same thing and only one of them can have it. The Bible Society, at its annual meeting in New York last week, reported that for 1911 the society issued 4,691,201 volumes. Since the society was organized 95 years ago it has printed and distributed 92,219,105 volumes. No other book holds its own so well, is so popular, as the Bible among the Gentiles of Europe and America, and the demand for it is steadily increasing among the Africans and Asiatics. The trouble with us is we neither criticise ourselves nor welcome criticisms from other* says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. That is a truth as thick as the Negro race in America. The average Negro can stand praise pasted on at thick as his question, but the smart bit of criticism meant, is represented as a deadly insult. A race so constituted must be born again, and perhaps again, before it will be able to measure up to full manhood. In the Democratic primary President Taft got a plurality over Col. Roosevelt in the popular vote of some 4,000 votes. Judging by this fact the Springfield Republican concludes that Col. Roosevelt's nomination by the Chicago convention "would almost surely place Massachusetts next November in the column of Democratic States." Perhaps! We expect to see President Taft nominated, and we feel certain that the Democrats can nominate and elect that can even appeal to the polls. When the smoke of battles pushes away with the struggle for the nomination the Republican ranks will close up and present a solid front to the Democratic enemy, and that will mean victory. Ex-President Sun Yat Sen, who is a Christian statesman, answers the charge that the opium habit still prevails in China to an alarming extent by charging Great Britain with responsibility for it. Great Britain derives a large revenue from the opium trade, and having the physical power to continue it she places China and other Asiatics near India, where it is grown, at a great disadvantage in prohibiting the use of it. It is a grave charge to bring against a great Christian power: the Christian people of the United States and the powers Europe should demand of Great Britain the suppression of the opium-poppy industry and opium trade for other than medicinal purposes. The suppression of spirituous and cordial liquors is equally necessary and urgent, as they are doing as much to undermine the health and morals of Europe and America as the opium habit is the health and morals of Asia. The State of Pennsylvania that could convict one of the eighteen indicted Chester County lynchers of Zack Walker hart August has a coal miners' strike on its hands in which thousands of men, said to be "loaded arsenal", are defying the officers of the law and terrifying those who do not sympathize with the strikers. On the other hand, the newspaper reports carry big black headlines, "with this strange device," habe of Foreigners Attack Mine Workers," with the foreigners are, for the most part, foreigners who have been on the job long enough to become citizens and labor union members. The "foreigners" mount by the headlines are the newcomers who have not become citizens and labor union members, but who want work because they are hungry. Many things happen in the Southern States when there is a calamity of any sort affecting all of the people—such as floods, earthquakes, fires, cyclones, and the like—that do not happen anywhere else. For instance, one day last week, when the floods of the Mississippi pressed hardest upon Baton Rouge, La., everybody willingly, as a matter of pride as well as of self-preservation, turned to and worked together, blacks, whites, convicts, rich and poor, to save as much property as possible and as many lives from the wrath of the Father of Waters; but, the news dispatch says, Mayor Roux ordered every Negro in Finton Rouge, unemployed, arrested and put to work on the levee, but they are few and extremely hard to find. On the face of it, there was no need to issue such an order, except to disapare the Negroes of Faton Rouge and to show what a backyard Mayor Roux is. And what authority in State or Federal law has any such order? We dare say no people flooded districts work more freely and sincerely to protect public and private property as the Negroes along the rivers affected; but, as in the Galveston disaster, they are not only abused and misrepresented but denied a fair share of the rations and money voted by the State and Federal Government WILL THE SOUTH BECOME INDEPENDENT OF NEGRO LABOR. Current Literature for May summarizes the tremendous progress the Southern States have made and are making since the Emancipation and certain conclusions as to Southern labor that are of the greatest interest to the readers of THE AGE, as embodying a restrospect based upon facts and figures that admits of no controversy and a perspective that is always problematical and that seldom justifies in results the forecasts of those who make them. "The best laid plans of men and mice aft gang sleee." Mr. G. Grosvenor' Dawe, managing director of the Southern Commercial Congress, for example, glories in the fact that the South has 969,000 square miles of land and water; 300,000,000 acres of cultivable land, half of which has not felt the touch of the plow, with vast mineral wealth and incomparable climatic conditions "transforming the vital fluid of rain through the chemistry of plant life into gifts that make glad the heart of man." Nature has done her part to make the South a veritable "garden of the Lord." If "only man is vile" there, we ask, whose is the fault? On the other hand, Mr. Philip R. Kellar, in Uncle Remus' Home Magazine, takes no stock in Dr. Washington's hopeful outlook, in the North American Review, of the Negro's future in the South, as indicated in 1910, by his ownership of 900,000 farms. While Mr. Kellar shows that the South produces annually $0,100,000,000 worth of agricultural, forest and mineral products with $21,500,000,000 invested in manufactures, he is of the opinion that "Negro labor is still a necessity in Southern fields, but it is not such a necessity as it was in the years following the close of the war; and the last ten or twenty years show that white men not only can work in the Southern fields, but that they do better work and get larger yields than under the old systems of slave and Negro-contract labor." But Negro farm owners, by the same token, are getting better results under newer systems of cultivation and Negro laborers are receiving a wage as independent workmen, with right to save of their earnings and buy land, that was not true of the slave conditions. "The lazy man's country is where the lazy man is. The lazy man is disappearing rapidly from the South, and with him is going the idea that the South is a laz land," says Mr. Kellar. Negroes who are disposed to be lazy, to work half time, to work half their land, and to spend most they make from year to year on their backs and stomach, therefore, take warning from Mr. Kellar's view of the lazy man and lazy country business. The white South is wideawake; the black South cannot afford to sleep on its opportunities. The mines and factories of the South are full of workmen from Europe who save their money and buy land in small parcels. They are agriculturists by education and preference, and as soon as they make enough in mine and factory work to purchase and stock farms they abandon mine and factory work to others of their countrymen, of whom there is always an unattaining supply. The Southern Negroes should study the labor and saving ways of the foreigners among them and profit by it. The South is no longer a lazy man's country. Its agricultural, forest and mineral lands will go finally to those who are not lazy men. The Angels desire to impress these facts upon the minds of its Southern readers now, in the accepted times, when land is cheap, wages reasonable and right to save and buy is as much their privilege as of the whitest man. THE MERCANTILE REALTY COMPANY. A great lesson should be learned by our people from the failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, and the troubles of the True Reformers. The first lesson our people must learn is that they cannot get something for nothing. We do not believe that the heads of such organizations, as a rule, start out with the intention of swindling, but in their efforts to get something for nothing, their organizations become involved; they get deeper and deeper into financial trouble and in an effort to extract themselves, the officers finally yield to temptation: The next lesson is this: Every stockholder and every officer in any kind of a business organization, whether it is purely commercial or fraternal, should see to it that he knows what is going on. A qualified accountant should go through the books several times a year and find out what the actual condition of the organization is, and the same should be published. No one's word should be taken. The cash should be counted, so that each stockholder and officer will know exactly what is going on. If you belong to an organization of any character or if you have your money invested in any business concern or society. The Age advises that the holders of this put on foot an investi- --- gation at once that shall get at the bottom facts as to the condition of the organization. Such examinations will inspire confidence. PEONAGE AND SLAVERY I MEXICO. It has all along been understood by well-informed Americans that in very large measure the manual labor conditions in Mexico have grown into a peonage slavery almost as bad as was American slavery; but the Americans who know most about it are those who have been and are engaged in some sort of industry on a large scale in Mexico, requiring large numbers of laborers. The availance of the rulers has enabled these employers to secure labor by contract at a contract wage rate that amounts to peon-slavery. It is said that much of the revolt against the government of President Diaz was due to this condition of affairs, which the Maderos' interests that succeeded him promised to reform. It is now claimed by the counter revolutionists who are opposing President Madero that he has failed to redeem his promise to the oppressed neon-slaves. A peon is not necessarily a slave, but a slave is necessarily a peon, in the Latin-American definition of the word. The disgusting ruling characteristic of the Spanish character is that of master and slave. The slaves, or common sort, have the insolence of the master, and the master, the wealthy and ruling class, have the insolence of the slave, in most of their dealings one with the other, as well as with the rest of mankind. That is why the Spaniards lost dominion in all of the New World and have become a negligible power in the Old World, where they were once all powerful. Dr. Policarpo Rueda, the representative of the revolutionary President of Mexico, who recently arrived at Washington, has issued an appeal to the American people intended to show why they should sympathize with the revolutionists as opposed to the existing government of President Madero, in which, among other things, he says: The revolutionists are fighting for the determination of peonage and slavery in Mexico. The people cannot tolerate serfdom any longer. They were promised liberation from peonage by Madera, and for this reason he was made President. He betrayed the people, and they are worse off than before. Now they are determined that they shall have the freedom to work, and they demand that they shall have land upon which to make a living. "Is this honest? Is this patriotic? Is this in accordance with the impulse of liberty? If so, we ask that Americans shall give us their sympathy and support. We are not concerned with politics. We are fighting for human rights and human freedom. The fight was made in America in 1861-1865, and it is on now in Mexico. On which side do Americans stand? I know that when Americans come to understand the truth regarding Mexico they will demand the government be given square deal in this struggle for redemption of Mexicans from serfdom. "The Mexican people want peace, good order, prosperity, and liberty. They are not bandits or Anarchists." Thousands of Americans, residing in Mexico, have had their lives and property imperiled since the deposition of President Diaz, but they were American capitalists or the employees of such who had profited by the slave labor conditions they found ready to their hands or helped to hitch upon the laborers, about which Dr. Rueda says the revolutionists are now concerning themselves. It was that way in our American slave condition; the people of the North engaged in Southern industries and trade, having the ear of the Government at Washington, gave the antislavery friends as much trouble as the slave-master class. In appealing for American sympathy against the condition of slavery existing in Mexico Dr Rueda will have to reckon first with the American capitalists doing business in Mexico who are more interested in cheap labor than in human liberty, and who have the ear of Government at Washington. DEFEAT OF GOV BLEAS. Decent people, black and white, of South Carolina, should congratulate themselves. Gov. Bleas has been defeated. He was the most vulgar and coarse demagogue that has ever come to the front in South Carolina. His defeat argues that the day of the political demagogue even in South Carolina is passing. All honor to the white daily papers in South Carolina that helped defeat this brutal and coarse character. The colored people in South Carolina can now hold up their heads and not feel ashamed of their State. MR. VILLARD AND THE BLACK CABINET In an address made in Chicago a few nights ago Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, of the New York Evening Post, gave great credit to the "Black Cabinet" of Washington for defeating the nomination of Judge Hook for the Supreme Bench. We are glad to know that Mr. Villard was thoughtful and brave enough to give the Black Cabinet credit for this creditable job. In Mr. Villard the black race always has a friend in whom it can depend to speak out in no uncertain tones. Commissioner of Licenses Herman Robinson, of New York, has made an exhaustive report to Mayor Gaynor in which he deals in detail with the servant problem in New York. He says: "The difficulties of the servant problem are increasing, due to the dearth of servants. In New York City more than 100,000 servants could find work, in addition to those already employed. Scarceness of number naturally makes the servant independent, and permits her to dictate her terms. The fact that employment agents in the East Side of Manhattan and Brownsville section of Brooklyn never take a fee from a girl for getting her a place, but make the employer pay the fee for both, plainly proves the difference between supply and demand. "Wages is not so important to the servant as conditions that should make domestic service more attractive. Secondly the employer must bring about these conditions. Servants have solved their side of the problem by abandoning domestic service large numbers and seeking the sweatshop and ban on their living. They have less money at their employments than at domestic service, but nevertheless they prefer them." The suggestion is made that if servants had fixed hours of service and hours off each day, that if they were treated as other employees, much of the objection to domestic service would be removed. Most of the foreign girls in the city now prefer factory and sweatshop work, at less pay than they can secure in domestic service, because in the factory and sweatshop employments they have stated hours of work and pay, and need not work at night or on Sunday unless they want to, when there is need to do so. There is a general desire among all sorts of Americans to have the nights and the Sundays to themselves. The term servant is also a drawback to most American girls. Some less offensive term should be hit upon and adopted. It is a sensitive feeling, foolish, when one is out of work and hungry, it is true, but it has to be reckoned with. It is also a notorious and discreditable fact that most housewives, black and white, are the worst sort of employers. They are despotic, insolent, exacting, querrulous, parsimonious, and do not consider that servants have any feelings at all, or that they get tired or want any recreation. Indeed, that is, in the main, the character of most women on a job. They consider only themselves and their interests and pleasures. It is a reasonable way to look at it that the openings in the domestic service in New York that the foreigners are turning from invite the thousands of our young women here who have no employment, and the thousands who are every year coming to New York. They may dislike the service as much as the white native and foreign young women, but it is an opening for honorable employment which does not lead to the dance hall, the brothel of the Tenderloin, nor to the early grave of those who go the pace; and, bad as the employment may be, it is cleaner, healthier and more remunerative than factory and sweatshop employments, even if these latter were not shut in the face of Negro girls so tightly as the general positions of saleswomen, stenographers, laundry girls and the like. If they take over the domestic service work now, which the Irish, German and French girls, fresh from the Old Country, forced them out of twenty-five years ago, when they had a virtual monopoly of the work, it would give them a sure means of support and prepare the way for honorable marriage, and the training and educating of children, while the business interests of the race that are now in the small beginning stage are growing numerous, large and strong, so that our girls and boys can find with them the employment out of which they are now shut by white business interests. As President Cleveland once said, "It is a condition, and not a theory, that confronts us." Domestic service does not appeal to Negro women any more than it does to white women; but it is not a question of what is wanted, what is desired, it is supremely a question of what is available, what can be secured. The Negro population of New York is increasing by leaps and bounds, but the avenues of employment remain tragically few and restricted in character. If house servants are needed to the extent reported it is the part of wisdom for Negroes to take over the employment, if they can, and make the most of it, not only as a means of present livelihood but as a stepping stone to higher things for the children of the next generation. And what we say to our women we say also to our men—occupy the open places. NEGRO WAITERS. In a news article published some weeks ago attention was called to the fact that a movement was on foot to have a national conference of waiters to consider the subject of Negro waiters throughout the country. This is important, vastly important, and we hope it will be done. The fact is that all classes of working people as well as captains of industry are constantly holding conventions to consider their condition with a view of improving that condition. People who manufacture wallpaper hold conventions; people who manufacture pic- ture frames hold conventions; people who manufacture brooms hold conventions; people who manufacture clocks hold conventions; people who raise pigs, cows and chickens hold conventions. While all this has been going on among the white people the Negro has been thinking far too long that he could benefit himself by simply holding conventions declaring in favor of "manhood rights" and all the rest of it. We have gone on with this nonsense until the Negro waiters have begun to lose their bread and butter. By all means let us have conventions of Negro waiters. Our Negro waiters should get busy. A SOUTHERN MAGAZINE. "Sparks" is the name of a comparatively new magazine published in Birmingham by the Rev. C. L. Fisher. It is in the first year of its existence. It is a high-toned, first-class, sparkling publication, and we hope that it will receive the liberal support it deserves. We have a suspicion that Dr. C. First Johnson, the hustling business man of Mobile, has a hand in this magazine. At any rate, the editors and publishers deserve high praise and loyal support. ROBERT . SMALLS . RENOMI- NATED. The renomination of General Robert Smalls by President Taft to the position of Collector of Customs at Beaufort, S. C. is a worthy and graceful act on the part of the President. Gen. Smalls has held this position for years and has given great satisfaction as Collector of the Port at Beaufort. It is encouraging to both white and colored people to see this worthy man recognized by the President. WHITE MEN AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. Below we publish a dispatch from Lexington, Ky., which explains itself. This refers to what is to be taught in an industrial school for white people, not Negroes. This means that if this kind of thing goes on that the white boy will be the proprietor and boss in chicken breeding and the Negro boy will be the hired servant instead of being the proprietor and boss. The dispatch follows: Lexington, Ky., May 3. -The Kentucky State University has announced that chicken breeding will be added to its curriculum. This will be a decided feature for a university to take. The State University being probably the first in the country to adopt such a course. A farm near here has been purchased, where the science of the hen will be studied by the students of the school. There is a great lesson for our people to learn in this dispatch. A HUMBUG. We take notice that a set of over ambitious and unwise men are again at the old job of getting governors to appoint delegates to a so-called educational congress to be held at St. Paul, Minn., this summer. We have said before that this so-called congress amounts to nothing. In the first place there is a well organized, well attended organization known as the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools supported by the colored teachers throughout the country. In the next place there are no colored teachers in the territory surrounding St. Paul, Minn., to attend such a congress. The colored teachers from the South will not go to this place, hence the whole thing is in plain language, a humbling from start to finish. EDITORIAL NOTES It is fortunate for the peace of mind of the churches that the General Conference of them meet only once in every four years. "Harmony is the main spring of progress," says the Hannibal (Mo.) Home Protective Record. Very good, but there can be no enduring harmony without plenty of hominy, with a slither of bacon on the side. Dr. Carl Francke, a Munich physician, in an article in a weekly medical weekly newspaper, attacks the sheath skirt. He claims that it is ruining female figures, stunting development and producing a race of knock-kneed women. In order to have straight limbs the muscles must have unrestricted exercise, and this is only possible with wide skirts. "The time must come when it will be a crime to wear tight skirts," he says. But men and women will also play the voice of embodiment not the voice of the doctor or of common sense, and pay the price for doing so. The tight skirt is not only unhealthy, it is positively vulgar. Mr. A. J. Drexel Biddle, of Philadelphia, has a Sunday School class that numbers 3,400. He is very proud of it, but not satisfied; he wants it to number 10,000. That is laudable, but the human creature is so constituted that when he gets it at that point he will want to go on higher, like the dog on the trail that never comes to the end of it. Mr. Biddle has a large estate at Lansdowne which he will turn into a summer vacation home for his class. That way he is a great blessing to them and a great thing when he has the money to be also the disposition to make the general conditions of living pleasant for many people who would otherwise be doomed to the humdum which grinds the spirit out of humankind. The spirit of benefaction is one of the most blessed of human attributes. Some people have their brains in their heads, some in their chins, some in their hearts, and some have no brains anywhere. Anyhow, it is interesting to find a man who really knows where his brains are located and is able to get his hands on them when he needs them. Representative Lewis of Maryland, who used to be a coal miner, is the smallest man in Congress. A few days ago he was asked to speak before a House Committee on ownership of express lines. The chairman, thinking to turn the joke on Mr. Lewis, suggested that he sit with speaking, as a compliment to his old friend, Mr. Lewis replied, "Well, Mr. Chairman, down in South Carolina, where you come from, I understand the men have brains from their chins down, but in Maryland, we all have our brains from our eyes up." And the little man has it on the big one, for the man who thinks from the stomach at the pit and not from the eyes to the apex of the head, is bound to be earthy. "The Presidential primary as at present administered in an intolerable nuisance, crazy in its operations, absurdly non-indicative of real public sentiment," says the New York Sun. That is the truth. Not 50 per cent. of the voters take any interest in the primary hubbub or vote on primary day. The primary system was tried out long ago in the Southern States, where the Democrats have reduced it to a parody, a burleague, of government by party. The convention system is bad and clumsy enough, and should be replaced by some better and less clumsy system, but the primary system will never be. Direct government in the primary system is not a referendum and recall system—by the same token, would never do. Leadership of the masses by the masterful few is even more necessary now than in the days of Jethro and Moses. --- It has been quote two years since Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina, had a stroke of paralysis that affected his orgas of speech. When the stroke came he was the sur lecturer at Chutauquas on "Denunciation of the Negro," with occasional sneers and slurs on the same subject in the Federal Senate, with no one about brave and honest enough to answer him with the argument that means "Shut Up!" It was then he stopped abusing te Negro and has since for the most part been silent. Now his son's wife is suing him for divorce, alleging "chronic drunkenness and shameful abuse." The marriage of young Tillman to Miss Dugas caused a great stir in South Carolina, as the Tillmans belong to "the poor white sand hill class" and the Dugasses to the blue-blooded aristocracy. Those who sow to the wind reap the whirlwind; those who injure the helpless have to even up. VISITS GEORGIA S. I. C. President Taft Inspects Every Department of Georgia State Industrial College and Addresses Students—Bourke Cochran Speaks. Special to The New York Age: Atlanta, Ga., May 10.—On Wednesday, May 1, President William Howard Taft inspected all of the departments of the University of Georgia, congratulated President R. R. Wright and his faculty on their splendid efforts for the uplift of their race. The President reached the college at 12:25 and at began his tour of the ground Classes were in all of the departments and the President was given an opportunity of seeing practical results of the students' efforts. After the President had thoroughly inspected the campus, he and his party proceeded to Melbourne, Melbourne and enthusiastic crowd had gathered. President Wright introduced the President in a few well-chosen words, reeling in the Chief Executive's cordial interest in the future of progress of the colored people. The President said: "I am greatly attracted by this company and these surroundings, and it seems to me as if I were looking into the face of the solution of the Negro problem, and I am not going to tell you that you are the happiest lot of people in the world, for I know the burdens you have to bear, and I know there are temptations which you to bear, that are not the same to those in the Mason line." "But I also want you to know that many good people in the world live south of the Mason and Dixon line. These people, I know, are anxious to help you bear your hard course. I am an optimist and believe that you are on the way to success. I am the progress you have made. Of course, you have had associations with a moral race and your condition to day would not be what it is but for that association. "In the last twenty-five years, the South has made greater progress than the North, and you have made progress in it. I am not depreciating and will in the last ones to depreciate the schools for higher education for your race. You must have your leaders, ministers, doctors, and other professional men and women in your school lost in doing so need not worry, for the worth of the country is not being wasted." "The general character of the schools to uplift you are the industrial schools, the schools as those have been organized the best of the beneficiencies of the South's best citizens," I take Gen. Meldrin as an example. "The truth is, and it is curious, that the American people should be introduced to the benefits of industrial educations largely to help the Indian and the French that the Negro has led the race in getting the benefits from industrial education. "We want to teach them now to use their hands, skill and health which God has given them. And I want you to listen - the best friend the Southern Negro is the best friend the white man. I do not mean all of the white man, do I mean that all of the white men of the North are the friends of the Negro. "I mean that the best friends the Negro has in the South are the men of high character, good education, inherited that of the men who were once the masters of your ancestors, these are your best friends." lady they had made to greet the President of the United States. Bourke Cockran, who followed Gov. Brown, made the statement that the Negro race had made more progress in the United States, and that other races had made it three bounded years. He added that the Negro be given the chance to work, which, he declared, was something better than a vote. "When civilization meets a man," he said, "it is a case of work or die, and the Negro is not a victim of other forces." Mr. Cockran's speech for an imprisoned call was remarkable. He readily became enthused over his subject and held attention of everybody by his masterly handling of the English language and vigorous style of speech. Dr. Brooke Talks About Minneapolis. Dr. Wm. H. Brooks, St. Mark's E. Church, who is in Minneapolis, Minn., attending the M. K. Church Conference, has written to the Age in complimentary terms of Minneapolis and conditions there: Dr. Brooks writes: Minneapolis, although a young city, has many features which older cities would do well to copy. One may travel all day through the city without seeing the signs of business. This is not the indication of business. There are no saloons or wayward souls here, but because vice is localized. No school or house of ill-fame is allowed beyond Stxrb street. No manslain wants to think it is here, and it will not tell it is here. is it not better to localize the German system, rather than have it scattered all over the city as New York. The civil rights of the colored people are respected and industrial opportunities are afforded. The hotels, restaurants and similar places are us in the same conditions as others and the relation between the races animates. The largest hotels employ colored waiters. Again and again I have felt like repeating Horace Greely's advice, "Go West, young men, go West." Miss Edith Leonard, well known in New York, is making an enviable record. Paul in the work assigned her, Barbara Greely, the partnership of the Y. W. C. A. she is also the courtship in the courts and many friendless and unfortunate souls take courage in the struggle of life, where they find a pure, warm-hearted Christian young woman. Many of the colored people own beautiful homes in St. Paul; among the best are those of Councillor McGhee and Dr. Van Do Hurser. The destor practice of the hospitals of the city and is one of the most beautiful After lunchon his automobile was placed at my service and for four hours I was driven through the city and parks, along the banks of the Mississippi, to the fall innehaba, made famous by Longellah, in the same condition of unsurpassed beauty and magnificence. BALEIGH N. C. Raleigh, N. C. May 14.—Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock more than four hundred Odd Fellows, constituting the lodges of the city, assembled at St. Mary E.

Last year just before the opening of the winter season there was an agency established in Harlem which booked and also received a deposit of $5.00 on uniforms for the Plaza Hotel in Havana, Cuba, and after booking something like thirty men the booking was closed and the agent was to bounce on that date with his crew later on that date he was missing and has not as yet been seen or heard of.

READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me. For many years I was convinced that no person lives who was more unfortunate than myself. 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 past 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 use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

Until the close of last season Brooklyn was listed as a port of the third class, but it was ablished; so if you wanted to see a colored production this season it was necessary to take a little excursion to Newark, N. J. However, this week New York City was put on the theatrical map—at least temporarily—and two colored shows were given permission to dock and dispose of their wares. As the result of the arrangement the Black Patti Company is at the Grand Opera House, while the Smart Set Company is playing at Hurtig and Seamon's Harlem Music Hall. In recent years we who sign our names on the hotel register as hailing from New York have not been given an opportunity to see colored productions during the regular season. Owing to conditions, which cannot last much longer, we have been compelled to wait until May, as the owners of the colored theatrical organizations have been unable to secure hires until the close of the season. Colored shows are consequently regarded by us in the same with strawberries, flowers and draw hats for men—things that bloom in the spring tra la la. [Image of a woman in a long dress holding a flower]. F MME SISSIEREETTA JONES The Original "Black Patti" While we would have much preferred the two shows to have made their appearance in the city on different dates, still those who reish colored musical productions are thankful for what they can get, and are taking advantage of the golden opportunities presented by acting both shows in one week. Black Patti at the Grand. Mine. Sissieretta Jones (Black Pearl) has not been heard in New York for a number of years, and she is growing that she is still a big drawcard by the large houses at the Grand Opera House. Mine. Jones, despite the fact that for fifteen seasons she has been doing "one nighters" galore, can continue to lay claim to being the leading singer of her race without fear or trembling. When one hears her and then calls what a strenuous and hard lot it is traveling about the country for fifteen seasons, seldom staying in one town more than one night, you are compelled to marvel at this singer, whose songs are yet clear, bell-like and full of vigor. Mine. Jones has a very good number of My Jewel of the River Nile," which is rendered as only an artist can. As an score she sang "Dixie is Good Enough for Me," which so greatly pleased that she was compelled to sing it once more. In the third act she sang a section from "Rigidetto," assisted by annette Cook, Charles Bough and John Phillips. To show her versatility mine Jones sang "Home, Sweet Home" and then "Baby Rose." Most in importance to Mine Jones is Julius Glenn, who does the principal comedy work of the show, as Humber Hogg and Count De-Rocky Ford. He is a tireless worker, and his efforts amuse were productive of many music. The comedian's songs were well received, as was his dancing. One of the pleasing features of the show is the work of Al Watts as night man. As B. Grafter he displays a naturalness in his role which draws that he has given it much thought. E.W. A. Cooke is creditably doing the art of Sherlocko, and is exceedingly stable on his feet. Then there is Tillie Aguin, who has blossomed into a souvenir and who sings a couple of songs doing very charming. Others in the show are Charles Bougin, as the Kez, B. Brown; John Phillips, as John Hope; Estelle Cash, as Florence Willie; John Grant, as Chief Jumbo; Bledeaux, Ed Borden and James Woods. There are not many chorus girls in the show, but they make up in quality what is lacking in quantity. They are good workers. "Dr. Beans from Boston." "Dr. Beans from Boston," with S. H. Dudley as chief funmaker, made its initial how to New Yorkers Monday at Hurtig and Seamons's Music Hall, opening for a two weeks' run. It is not likely that there has been a funnier show at this theatre than "Dr. Beans from Boston," which is the best vehicle Dudley has ever had. Since I saw the show in Newark the first of the season a number of new comedy situations have been added, and the dialogue and "business" have been whipped into fine shape. As Gymnasium Butts S. H. Dudley is responsible for much merriment. Particularly in the second act in the drug store scene does he put the playgoers in good humor, assisted by James Burris, as Bill, Simmons. Mr. Dudley, in the character of Gymnasium Butts, seems to have acquired more of a habit of stealing since I saw him at the Columbia Theatre. Newark, stowing away in his pockets almost everything not nailed down—which stunts appeared to greatly amuse some of the whites in the audience. Monday evening at the Harlem Music Hall Henry Troy scored the biggest singing-hit in his song, "Dearest Memories." That he is still a matinee I idol was demonstrated by the large bunch of American Beauty roses he received after the number. Full of animation and possessing a strong, fresh voice, Daisy Martin continues to improve as a soubette. Her principal faith is that she will all her heroes too much alike. With more expression and less volume of tone, she will find that she can put over her mind with more effect. Individual mention of other members in the east were Arthur Tallot, Sir Hampshire Lily, Rolly Gibson, as Jimmy Quintetty, William Ransey, her, a wanter, Frank De Lyson, the real Dr. Beans from Boston, Ella Beans, as Migno Sahura Heartburn, Alberta Ormes, as Queen Sophia; Robert Williams, as Jesse Jeukins, and Hattie Burris and Jesse Harris. Dudley's mule, Patrick, made its usual lat in the first act. Dr. Beans from Boston" should do two weeks' good business at the Harlem Music Hall. Segregated Negroes Just the Same. The unnecessary segregating of colored people in the theatres of New York is a subject on which I am compelled to dwell at length with marked frequency, although it is not a pleasant duty. However, conditions are such that some managers will want to put colored playgoers in a certain part of the gallery, as is done in certain sections of the South, if they become more insane on the question. Despite the promise in the local colored press that colored people would be admitted to all parts of the house at both the Grand Opera House and Hurtig and Seamon's Music Hall during the presence of the two colored shows, it was broken. In justice to the management of the Smart Set Company and the Black Patti Company, that the colored playgoers were deceived was no fault of theirs, but the managers and attaches of the theatres. Hurtig and Seamon's Music Hall is a burlesque house, which closed its season last Saturday. For this reason the Smart Set Company was successful in getting looking for two weeks in this temple of burlesque. I was greatly surprised. Monday evening to find that all the colored people on the first floor were seated in the left section, while the whites were sold seats in the center and the right sections. It is possible that the managers of the house were ignorant of this act of segregation. The ticket seller might have been at fault. Yet the, fact re- 6 H. DUDLEY Smart Set Company mains that with a colored show playing in a burlesque house the colored people were set off by themselves. Furthermore, the center section is always preferable to any other; yet not a colored person was sold a seat in the center section unless he fooled the ticket seller as to his racial identity. I did see two colored people in the center section, but they fooled the people in the box office. Then I saw a few colored men seated in the rear seats in the choice section, and by rear seats I mean the last one in the back. Grafting at Grand Opera House. • At the Grand Opera House, which is one of the largest theatres in New York, and which plays Broadway shows for one week, the house closed last Saturday and the Black Patti Company managed to secure a date. Tuesday evening I went to the theatre and on the first thour soon discovered that the only seats sold colored people were those about six rows back. In the first ten or twelve tows not a colored person could be seen. However, a peculiar feature of the seating at this house was that several colored people who purchased seats on the lower thour were accosted by an usher after they had been seated and told that better seats could be secured nearer the stage if twenty-five cents was paid. It was evident that somebody was trying to make a "killing," and the lambs chosen for slaughter were the colored citizens. It is difficult for me to understand how an usher can change seats without the knowledge of those in the box office. To my mind the usher should be afraid that the man in the box office would also sell the seat he had sold for twenty-five cents, thereby causing some confusion. However, these knights of the cardboard appeared to know what they were doing and did not appear a bit afraid. There is a "very bright" young man in the box office at the Grand Opera House who should be complimented by his employer for his "courteous" demeanor to the patrons of the house. Several complaints were made to him about seats, and while his answers did not show him to be one possessed with an overabundance of gray matter in his cranium, he did give evidence of being a very fresh young gent. Several persons complained that he had seated them behind posts, but he refused to give them better seats, although there were some vacant. Possibly the users had been the recent seats. When I look at conditions exist today and then read how they were a few years ago in New York, I am compelled to admit that they are getting worse instead of better. I have seen colored shows play at the Grand Opera House and there was no discrimination with reference to color. I have also seen colored shows play at the Harlem Music Hall, and our colored citizens were given value received for their money and allowed to sit in all sections on the first floor—not only one. If this wave of prejudice is spreading it must be checked. It cannot be done by getting the worst of it and keeping your mouth shut. A principle is involved which is dearer than any financial consideration to all Negroes who want to be regarded as men and women—not cattle. As soon as we make known in no uncertain terms that we intend to have all the rights and privileges due us (we asking nothing more) the managers will see that we mean business and put an end to unjust practices which they are seeking to make customs, but which will never be unless we sit idly by and willingly submit to insult after insult.

Asks Justice in Murder of Waverly Friday evening, March 15, the New York Pressman World published A news item under the caption, "Shot During Hail on the Hailbow," in the front cover of the midweek I went to Harlem Friday night. March 15, and skipped the Saloon at 2190 Fifth avenue, where shooting occurred, a white man, was very patient and would not talk. He had been arrested on Thursday night when he was strong arm squad member and then pending in court, naturally did not care to talk. I met counter in the saloon and who was a witness to the shooting of Waverly Kelly gave me some information concerning what took place the night before and told me she was in the hospital when she was also age-related in detail what they saw at the time. She left the place Saturday night and made statements which I wrote down. To avoid possible confusion and allow for connection action, I walked out. I was out, but I felt stating that I was investigating the matter of the shooting of Wayne and desired to work with him in connection with Saturday night's salon and later with I went together to salon and later worked a number of salons who were in the place when the strong arm squad entered and made the IMPORTANT NOTICE All persons who have given or executed powers of attorney to Rev.

Commissioner Waldo said Plitt was not connected with the Police Department. He had employed Plitt. The Lieutenant did that he did not know Plitt. I asked how it was that the Lieutenant had been in the coroner's office not know. My question was not answered. Sunday, March 24, 1912, the New York World published an article, "Stool Pigeon from which the above was taken. In spite of the fact that Lieuten. Charles Becker stated to Commissioner Waldo in the press that he was employed by him. "I am sure," said Lieuten. Becker, "that the defendant had nothing to do with who did fire the car, but I am certain that Plitt did not do it. I never knew him to carry a gun. I worked for me for some time and I have always found him to be trustworthy." I reported to Lieuten. Waldo that the Police Department is not responsible for Plitt's act in shooting the colored man, Mr. Becker is. For an employee certainly responsible for the acts the agent I have the facts in this communication will answer the question often asked me who should be colored man. Colored citizens ought to do all they can to help in investigate this case until the Commission and the Commissioners ought to call on Commissioner Waldo again and on Mayor Gaynor in reference to this matter. It is important in any way aid and help. This case must be thoroughly investigated to the very end. Anyone to help in bringing the light and help in evidence done will kindly correspond with me. D.
