ELKS PUZZLED OVER DECISION Court of Appeals Modifies Injunction Order of Supreme Court AWAITING FULL OPINION Counselor D. Macon Webater Expects to Know where Colored Likes Stand by Last of Week COURT CLERK SENDS WIRE Informs Counsel that Judgment of Law Court has been Modified by Declaision of Court of Appeals. Just how sweeping is the decision rendered by the Court of Appeals last Friday in which the court ruled in favor of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in its suit against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World has not been fully determined. It is believed, however, that the higher court made many modifications in the restraining order issued some time ago by Judge Morschsauser of the Supreme Court, which will be favorable to the colored Elks. D. Macon Webster, counsel for the Improved Benevolent Order of Elks of the World (the colored body), hopes to be able to inform every lodge in the country and the grand officers to what extent they will be affected by the decision by the first of the week. Counselor Macon has not received in full the opinion of the court from Albany, but believes that there will be much in the decision in favor of the colored Elks. Counselor Macon bases his optimism on the following telegram which he received from the Clerk of the Court of Appeals Tuesday: Benevolent Order of Elks against Benevolent Order of Elks of the World. Judgment undified in accordance with opinion of W. Barlett, Judge, and as modi- R. M. BARBER Until word is received from Counselor Webster the Elks are in a dilemma as they are very undecided in their movements. Several lodges are planning to give picnics, but have announced that nothing will be done until the opinion of the Appellate Court is interpreted by Counselor Webster. The light made by the white Elks to restrain the colored order from using the name of Elks was instituted in the New York courts in 1908, Judge Morschauser, upon application of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks issuing a restraining order against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. So severe was the court's order that, the colored Elks carried the case to the Appellate Division, which affirmed the ruling of the lower court. The colored Elks then had the case reviewed by the Court of Appeals. Judge Morschauser's Opinion. The opinion handed down by Judge Morschauser, which is believed to have been made less severe by the Court of Appeals, follows: This action having been duly commenced by the service of a summons and complaint on the defendants, and the defendants having appeared and answered the complaint, and the action having been duly noticed for trial and the same having been tried by the court on the 11th day of June, 1908, and the 14th day of July, 1908, without a jury, and the court having made its decision and findings. Now, on motion of Messrs. Brennan and Curran, the plaintiff's attorneys, it is thereof; that the defendants be, and they are hereby perpetually enjoined, restrained and forbidden from using a membership card identical with that of the plaintiff herein, or, similar thereto, or, a colorable imitation thereof; that the defendants be, and they are hereby perpetually enjoined, restrained and forbidden from using the name and title of the officers of the plaintiff herein. It is further ordered, adjudged and decreed that the defendants be, and they are hereby perpetually enjoined, restrained and forbidden from adopting or issuing badges which are identical in design, or a colorable imitation of the badges or buttons heretofore adopted and used by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, to wit, the design of an Elk's head and from adopting or using any other emblems and insignia which have heretofore been adopted and used by the said "Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks" and the members thereof. It is further ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the defendants be, and they are hereby perpetually enjoined, restrained and forbidden from adopting or using the colors of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, viza purple and white. It is further ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the plaintiff recover judgment against the defendants for the sum of Sixty-one Dollars and twenty-two cents ($61.22), the costs as taxed herein, and that the plaintiff have execution against the defendants therefor. PRESIDENT BRAY REMOVED Head of Miles Memorial College Said to Have Incurred Displeasure of Bishop Stewart Over Money-Matters —Succeeded by W. A. Bell. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 28 —Because he insisted that as treasurer of Miles Memorial College, Bishop G. W. Stewart should make some accounting of funds passing through his hands to the executive board, and that money raised for specific purposes should be spent only in carrying out that purpose, President James A. Bray, one of the best known Negro educators in the South, is said to have incurred the displeasure of the bishop and was removed from the presidency at the board meeting. He was succeeded by W. A. Bell. Miles Memorial College is maintained by the Alabama conferences of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and has been brought up by M. F. W. Church, who is president in Negro educational affairs. It is one of the best known of the denominational schools in the South, and is supported largely by the small contributions of the members of the C. M. E. Church. Much indignation is felt and expressed throughout the state and particularly in the Birmingham district over the removal of Dr. Bray. He is highly respected and of much influence in the community, and many people feel that in this particular period of the school's history the effort should have been made to retain at the head of the school a man of known ability and experience, who could continue the influential and constructive policy that has characterized Dr. Bray's administration. Bishoo Makes Removal Sure. The charge is made that Bishop Stewart opulent and flagrantly used the power of his office to remove Dr. Bray, forcing his self-appointed and packed board of trustees to do his posing, practically all of whom are posing, practically all of whom are appointed to office. To make assurance doubly sure, two board members who were known to favor Dr. Bray's retention were transferred to other conferences in the midst of the conference year and their positions on the board of trustees made declared vacant. It has been generally known that for some time Bishop Stewart had been antagonistic to President Bray, having canvassed the state in a campaign against the brilliant educator. The front and force of his whole offending seems to have been that the president insisted that some accounting should be made of funds entrusted to the Bishop's care as treasurer of the institution. It was only a few months ago that Bishop Stewart called a special meeting of the board and insisted that he should be elected president, he being already treasurer, thus giving him charge of the funds and power to appoint his own auditing committee. In a statement which he has made public, Dr. Bray declares that Bishop Stewart took offense because first, he insisted on an accounting of money used in the erection of the new dorgesting that inasmuch as the General Education Board had given $5,000 of the amount and that a goodly portion of it had been secured from the white and colored business men of the community, it would be useful to report that would show the disposition of funds. This position, Dr. Bray declares was made rather emmitory now in course of erection, sugphatic by reason of a statement from Dr. Buttrick that further donations to this and other institutions of similar character would be predicated upon the disposition and handling of this particular donation. M. M. M. "JIM CROW" METHODS USED Protect That Denying Colored Men the Right to Vote Would Have a Harmful Effect Treated Lightly by Leaders. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—In the Capital City of the United States Monday the Democratic primary was held to determine what aspirant for the nomination for President at Baltimore should get the six delegates from the District of Columbia. The feature of the primary was the "Jim Crowing" of the Negro Democrats, who were not permitted to cast one ballot. There are 100,000 Negroes in Washington, and the men who profess the Democratic faith had as much standing in the primary Monday as an infant in arms. They were just told that they were not wanted at the polls, and that the selection of six delegates to the Democratic Convention, to be held at Baltimore, was a matter to be discussed by white men—not men of ebony hue. The nearest a Negro got to becoming a voter at Monday's primary election was that the most enthusiastic of them were allowed to carry banners and drive voters to the booths. But "watchers" were stationed at every polling place to keep colored men from enjoying the right of suffrage. When announcement was made in the press several days ago that a "Jim Crow" primary would be held in Washington and that the colored voters would not be permitted to participate the Negroes in Washington at the head of the movement to convert colored voters throughout the country to the principles promulgated by the Democratic party called on Champ Clark and other prominent Democrats and asked that all Democrats be allowed to vote, irrespective of color. They were outraged that for the local colored Democrats at the polls at this time would have a damaging effect on the attempt to bring Negroes into the Democratic party in the doubtful states where the colored voter was the balance of power. Although Speaker Clark and his colleagues listened attentively to the pleas of their colored lieutenants, the visitors were informed that the Democrats of the district would adhere to the time-honored custom of white supremacy. In this city is located the publicity department of the colored contingent of the Democratic party, and many are waiting to see what excuse will be given, if any, with reference to why Champ Clark and the other Democratic leaders here found it necessary to franchise colored men in Washington, the capital of the United States. Large and Customizable Attention Testimonial to Govt. Oyster, President of Washington Board of Education. Special to The New York Age WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28—The testimonial to Capt. James F. Oyster, president of the Board of Education, by the colored citizens of the "District of Columbia was held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Wednesday evening. May 22. An audience of about 1,100 persons were present, representing the best people of Washington. Chairman H. C. Tyson of the General Committee opened the meeting. Invocation was pronounced by the Rev. M. W. Clair of the Ashbury Church. Then Miss Mary Europe played an overture and was followed by J. H. Douglas, who delighted the audience with a violin solo. Miss M. P. Rurrill of the Armstrong School recited Kipling's "East and West." The Rev. W. H. Brooks, in the course of his address, expressed the feeling of the substantial colored citizens of Washington that Capt. Oyster's justice, frankness and courage had been of the greatest possible benefit to the children in the colored schools. Miss B. J. Chase rendered a piano solo. Dr. C. Sumner Wormley sang one of his beautiful selections to the accompaniment of Harry Williams. When the presiding officer, Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the U. S. Treasury introduced Judge W. L. Houston, Mr Napier said that the judge had hadged him to omit his speech, but the audience was delighted that the Register did not grant the judge's request. Judge Houston gave a short biographical sketch of Capt. Oyster's life, including not only the captain's achievements in getting grounds and buildings for the colored schools as a member of the Board of Education, but also in getting around to third base as a member of the Capitol Hill baseball nine. In his closing remarks Judge Houston referred to the fact that all who come to Washington stay here as the cause of the high class citizenship of the community. J. A. Cobb presented the report of the committee on resolutions. This report was unanimously adopted by a rising vote of the audience. The resolutions read as follows: Washington, D. C. May 22, 1912. Resolutions adopted by representatives of the colored citizens of the District of Columbia in appreciation of the services of Captain James P. Oyster. President of the Chamber of Commerce and President of the Board of Education. Whereas, The Capital of the Na- (Continued on page 8.) Colored Cavaliers Went to Bring Mice Clearer Together—Soldiers are Baving their Money. Special to The New York Ace CHEVVINE, Wyo., May 28—The members of the 9th Cavalry, stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, through Sqdn. Sergt. Major Milton, T. Dean, have issued an appeal to the Negroes of the United States to get closer together along business lines. To show that they desire to play a prominent part in bringing about a closer racial feeling the cavalrymen make known that they have $110,000 available for investment in wholly legitimate business. The colored soldiers propose to establish a department store, to consist of a banking system, mininery and dry goods, shoe, drug, grocery, soda fountain, restaurant and cigar departments, such a store to be opened in one of the cities where a large population of Negroes is found. The appeal and "scheme note" of the members of the 9th Cavalry follow: We of the 9th U. S. Cavalry send out this broad appeal feeling the keen and absolute necessity of a closer cooperation on the part of the individuals of the race. Such an appeal should not be pursued, by without serious consideration, comment and action of some of the officers of the cavalry, of venture and lack of push to enter new fields, such powerful factors in the material advancement of other people. Can you not come to us, can you not attempt, at least, the gathering in of the thousands of dollars which flow into the pockets of the white man? Scheme for Professional Negroes And now comes the part of this note to which we must earnestly urge and implore from all the insight, which will meet the demands not only of the colored soldier but his civilian brother in the subject as being a departure into a dildir pike at this time for the entrance of the Negro. It is given to the progressive men of the race and when we say "progressive men," we refer to the men inclined in that direction of legitimate business which has in it a man who is being a departure and men who are in a position to secure the necessary support. The financial status of the soldier is put before you. And bear in mind that the subject is not presented to you by one whose experience, time and thought has not been carefully applied to the subject, but the man be encountered from many sources. We have in the race men possessed of these qualities—krit, push, perseverance, initiative, education and above all, probity—requisite in all successful enterprises. This subject seems to be the subject of the control of the abilities of the Negro. It is said with all force of words this is within the grasp of accomplishment; it must be taken hold of and carried through rewardless of the pooch-poohs some might cast upon. Such is expected. Such an enterprise is being an unintelligible monument of the position of the race as well as its ability in competition. About Our Colored Soldiers. eir FIFTH ANNUAL WHICH WILL BE HELD June 27 At Manh Many Soldiers Do Not Drink or Smoke All soldiers are not drinkers; many do not smoke, or we may conservatively say the average amount per man per month spent for liquor, tobacco and the revels incident there is $7.75 making per month per person for $771.00, or displeasing the soldier shows similar tastes to those of his civilian brother, so we have for such $829.35, giving for a year a sum of $83,152.20. The latter may be closed under the heading of "legitimate business" ($776.90). Of the prior amount we have spent for liquor and tobacco, which means $375.90 per regiment per month or for the year of $605.88. Add this to the legitimate business we have $128,121.08. That a further allowance for a larger sum being spent in an environment we will not be noted we will allow another reduction in savings and expenses and for legitimate business, leaving a figure for each $80,000 business, and $30,000 savings, etc. This means we have added to the savings, etc. something like $18,-212.08, giving a total of $25,136.82. The total pay per regiment for a year is... $225,560.00 The total savings etc. 107,347.92 Leaving a balance of... $128,212.08 But take away the above amount of... 18,212.08 We have left us above $110,000.00 This amount is available for investment in wholly legitimate busine- An investment of $50,000 will hardly bring more than a flog per cent, dividend if left in banks, which means $2,000 this without the risks usual to large corporations. The larger the investment along the lines hereafter enumerated the first year would show a net gain of about sixty per cent, covering a possible loss of $30,000, covering the additional amount of expenses etc. The dividend will a fortune so easily led into a bargain as some may surmise. His travels alone should dissipate such an idea. Upon this subject we desire to speak at length an account of the fish a department store comprising the following: A banking system, a millinery and dry goods store, a shoe, a druk, a grocery, a soda fountain, restroom and cigar departments. Suppose such a department is installed in Philadelphia, in Washington, D. C. or Kansas City, localities where large populations of Negroes are found. And suppose a mall order branch was in existence, but not the military patrons be reached no matter the location of the store? PROMINENT MEN TALK Second Commencement of National Religious Training School Ends With Commencement Oration by Dr. Charles J. Bentley Special to THE NEW YORK AGN DUHAM, N. C. May 28—The second commencement of the National Religious Training School which ended last Thursday by the commencement oration by the great publicist and preacher Dr. Chas. H. Parkhurst of New York, was an event of significance in the educational world. Dr. W. R. L. Smith, chaplain of the University of North Carolina, delivered the baccolaurate sermon. The address to the undergraduates was made by President Jas. E. Shepard and the address to the united societies for Christian work by the Dr. W. E. Steekel, pastor of the Doyleston Presbyterian Church, Doyleston, Pa. The musical and the fine exhibitions of the domestic art and domestic science department. Prominent men and women from various sections of the country and every part of the State joined with the progressive element in this city gave Hon Wm H. Lewis, Assistant U. S. Attorney General, a big ovation when he addressed the literary societies of the institution on Wednesday night. His address was full of sane advice. He in part said: "Ye shall overcome the world by character, by conduct, by achievement; ye shall overcome it by suffering, by sacrifice and by service. Prejudices of some kind have always been in the world and probably always will be, and the citadel, the place of privilege and power, is to be taken, not by storm of denunciation and abuse, but the porticullis is let down and the portals open wide to welcome those who have been of signal service to their fellows and humanity. "Your splendid young institution stands for the salvation of the race, the saving of young men's bodies as well as their souls, teaching them how to live here below in the peace of God and the State, the making of themselves useful and honorable citizens, by building character and building homes and filling these homes with beauty and love. Race Must Fulfil Its Destiny. "It matters not that there are singers among other races of men and that their songs may be superior to ours, still in our humble sphere if we should fulfill our destiny we must sing our song regardless of others. We may help our lives as flaming torches light the hy-paths of humanity, help to better the lives of the meek and the lowly and to cheer them with a lively hope of their salvation and redemption. More and more the world is coming to (Continued on page 8.) DR. THIRKIELD SOON TO RESIGN President of Howard has been Elected Bishop of M. E. Church NEGRO MAY BE HEAD Many Candidates in the Field with Kelly Miller, Dr. Turner, and Secretary Cook Spoken of NO NEGRO BISHOP CHOSEN Colored Deligates Unable to Secure Election of Negro as Bishop and Com- promise on Dr. Thirkield. Special to THE NEW YORK ACN WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28.—The election of Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard University, as Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has already set the people to talking about his possible successor. There are several candidates in the field, and the consensus, of opinion is that for the first time in the history of the institution a colored man will soon be at its head. It is rumored that Dr. Thirkield will tender his resignation as president of Howard University within a few days, as he took the vow of office at Minneapolis with the other newly-elected Bishops Sunday before a large gathering. Among those being spoken of to succeed Dr. Thirkield as head of the university are Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the College Department at Howard; Dr. William V. Tunnell, professor of history, and George W. Cook, secretary of Howard University. Dr. Thirkield has not made known whom he favors to be Dr. Thirkield was elected one of the eight new bishops of the M. E. Church after the withdrawal of Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. An effort to have a Negro elected bishop was made by the ninety-six colored delegates, and Dr. Jones was the logical candidate. However, the majority of white delegates did not regard the election of a Negro to the bishopric with favor and the selection of Dr. Thirkield as one of the eight new bishops was agreed upon in the nature of a compromise. Dr. Thirkield is a native of Ohio, and was graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1876. For seventeen years he served as president of Gannon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, and under his guidance many of the most prominent ministers of the race in the South were trained. He gave up that position to become one of the secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church, serving there until 1906, when he was elected president of Howard University. During his regime the college has been raised to a higher grade, the courses in nearly all of the departments being strengthened. The enrollment has risen from 800 students in 1906 to 1400 this year. A new science hall and library are among the buildings erected. On coming to this city Dr. Thirkield began to take an active interest in the civic affairs of the district, and has spoken on the same platform with President Taft, Col. Roosevelt, Ambsasador Bryce and other notables. He has also taken a deep interest in the welfare of the race in the District of Columbia, and is highly regarded by the colored people here. When the World's Sunday School Congress met several years ago Dr. Thirkield was outspoken against race discrimination in the parade. MUST RETURN TO AFRICA Bishop Heard, Who Has Eight More Years in Dark Continent, Did Not Want to Fill Out Term, Pleading Illness—Appeals Unavailing, However. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE KANSAS CITY. Mo., May 28—An effort was made by Bishop W. H. Heard, who at the last general conference pledged himself to go, to West Africa and remain there for twelve years, to be recalled home only on the ground of ill health. The effort was a persistent one both in the Episcopal Committee and in the General Conference, but the consensus of opinion was that the bishop's appearance and energy did not warrant the step which he desired. By way of augmenting the funds of the missionary department, it was decided, after much discussion, to give the department 8 per cent of the dollar money to be equally divided between the home and foreign work. This it is supposed will add to the funds of the department about $20,000. Shriven at St. Mary's M. E. Church. B. R. Y. P. U. in still holding its own position with the pastor, Dr. Shriven.

Grand Jury Diamonds Case Preferred by Francis S. Grant, Leroy Butter Gives His Side of Case. The charge made by Francis S. Grant against the Rev. C. LeRay Butler, was sent to the Grand Jury last Friday. Grant and his colleague appeared and repeated their charges, but the Grand Jury failed to find evidence in any way sufficient to indict, and dismissed the case. The following is the Rev. Dr. Butler's version of the case, taken from ago. Messrs. Wood, Grant and Butler agreed to organise a company to be known as the Wood Investment Company. Mr. Wood was put in $500 and his equity in a piece of land. Dr. Butler was to put up two installment contracts on properties amounting to $1,500 and $500 in cash. Everything went well until the time came to organize them, then sold them to him that Messrs. Wood and Grant meant to take advantage of him. They had agreed that all bills should be paid by check and that their names should appear on the checks the president, secretary and It is charged by Butler that Grant nominated Wood for president, and Wood nominated Grant for secretary, and Mr. Grant nominated Mr. Wood for president. Wood nominated Butler, and as he could not nominate himself, he refused to go into the company. Meanwhile they had bought a piece of property jointly to be paid to the company, papers that had not returned from Albany, the lawyer, Mr. Davey, advised that Dr. Butler sign the contract for the property to the company as agent, which he did. Butler was disposed of and Butler offered to buy his two partners out, wiving back their money, thirty-three and one-third dollars a piece, which they refused to accept. Dr. Butler claimed he had been paid for the property and had done all of the work incident there, and felt that he ought to have something for his services, and asked that he be paid something for is work, seeing that they were unwilling to pay it out of cash they had put into the property. Buller asserts that Grant and Wood refused to allow him anything, but insisted that he take his thirty-three and one-third dollars. This, he agreed to pay, and he insisted that he penses connected with the search of the title to the property. Mr. Grant draw a check to Dr. Butler's order, and left it with the lawyer. After sometime, Dr. Butler accepted the check, and left a receipt for Grant with the lawyer, to be delivered to Mr. Grant when the chevy passed through the bank. The check was deposited on the bank, and the check was delivered to day Mr. Grant met Dr. Butler and demanded a receipt for the money. Dr. Butler demurred, saying that he did not know whether the check was good, as it had not passed through the bank, and heard from the check. Whereupon, Mr. Gratin is said to have remarked: "I will give you cash now for it and stop payment on the check, and if the check goes through the check, thirty-three and one third dollars." Dr. Butler accepted the cash by endorsing a check which Mr. Grant wrote to the company, which he claims was also an agreement as well, for the receipt which read: 'The said Francis S. Grant received a check for responsibilities incident, to and connected with said contract. The receipt is given because cash is paid in order of a check left in the hands of Mr. Grant.' The said Francis S. Grant agrees to stop. Payment on the check was not stopped, according to Dr. Butler, and Mr. Grant notified Dr. Butler that the check went through the bank, and Dr. Grant mediated immediately for thirty dollars one-third dollars, being the amount of the check which had gone through. Meanwhile, Mr. Grant is said to have refused to pay the expenses incident to the search of the title to the property, amounting to fifty-six dollars, although he had paid the amount. Mr. Grant says, knowing that he was responsible to the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, he sought advice of his counsel, who advised him to stop payment on the check he had sent to Grant, and notify him that he would be paid. Mr. Grant agreed with the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, Grant then had Dr. Butler arrested. GOV. PINCHBACK REMINISCENT. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Historical and Literary Society was held Wednesday evening. May at St. James Presbyterian Church and June at St. James Presbyterian Church were opened with an organ prelude by Prof. J. F. R. Willem, organist of Concord Baptist Church, and a vocal solo by Dr. I. N. Randall, Mrs. Blanche Wade-Willem of Brooklyn, completely captivated the audience with her rendition of "Hagar." Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, of Louisiana, was the speaker of the evening, his subject being, "Reconstruction Remonstrations." Among other things he said: "There is a great future before us, a great service for us to perform. Not outstanding the education and with emphasis on the position of the people I would like to see made. A quarter of a century ago the colored citizens of Louisiana felt that the white people no rights that they had to respect. The colored people were in absolute control. "We are in the minority in this country in numbers, intelligence and wealth. Look up and down Broadway, how much it do we own? Look at the subways, how many shares do we own in them. We own the public. There is no excuse for a man or woman not making good in these days of opportunity and advancement. I arose from a cabin boy to the position of the Chief Executive in the State of Louisiana. Not all of the colored men who live in the State of Louisiana or officeholds in those days wereignant men. Some of them were intelligent and possessed executive ability to a marked degree. Oscar J. Dunn, the first lieutenant-governor of Louisiana, was black as the ace of spades, but a gray man from principle never trod Golds. He was a board of the reconstruction period, of the charge of incompetency, mismanagement, on the part of those in control of affairs at that time, have an opportunity today to make good and to instigate to the world that capability in intelligence know no color; that whispered to us that we must itself our men and women can make good. Officers who spoke were Isaiah Monforts, founder of Mt. Bayou, Miss.; Macon Webster, and Mrs. Bethune, principal of the Girl's Industrial School of Augustine, Fla. On the platform were David D. DeNear of Newark, N.J., Commissioner Wil NO NEGRO DEFECTIONS. In a special from Jackson, Miss., to the New York World this week, the story of a defection on the part of the colored delegates of that State from President Johnson to Colonial Roosevelt was rehashed and a statement was made two of the 'Negro delegates, Perry W. Howard of Jackson, and Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, were sure to vote for Colonial Roosevelt.' So far as Charles Banks is concerned THE AGE is in position to say that these repeated assertions of his disobeying instructions and turning from the President are not made without misgivenes in the growth of Mississippi have long chafed under a system that rendered their influence all with the administration. It is also well known that Charles Banks is largely recognised by them as their representative in bringing about the changed order of things that brought the rank and file of the party into sympathy and possible to obtain an instructed delegation. Reading between the lines it is easy to see that these brasen dispatches are being flashed abroad periodically for the purpose of creating distrust. Reason a little further and the reader may judge the source from whence they emanate. BUFFALO N Y Buffalo, N. Y., May 29.—The Rev. Pringo prescheduled to a large congregation in the morning from Judges 22:5 and in the evening from Judges 14:14. The Rev. J. C. Taylor, pastor of the St. M. E. Zion Church, is expected home. POUGHKEEPSIE. N X Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 29.—Mrs. Ellen Ann Larry and Thomas Carter were married at the bride's residence at the church, Wednesday evening, May 22, the Rev. Chas, S. Purrell officiating. At the morning service, the Rev. Parless, pastor of Ebenesher Baptist Church, preached to a large congregation. In the evening he preached the memorial sermon to the Knights of Pythias. At the end of the service, the Rev. Cass was presented a purse by the order. BINCHAMTON, NY Regular Correspondence of THE AGR Binghamton, N. Y., May 29.—Mrs. Katie Pervis, formerly of Binghamton, has returned from the West. Mr. Wilkinson, William have moved from 226 Oak street, to 1 Bayte street. Invitations have been received announcing the marriage of Miss Elizabeth D. Heyer of John Henry, June 5. Their home, 13 Linden Avenue. Miss Helena Coleman and Miss Chonita Hyer are receiving much credit for a duet rendered at the Japanese vaudeville and concert hold last Thursday. Miss Emmy Melkville is in Troy, N. Y., catering for a large wedding. The Rev. T. A. Auten held his last quarterly conference in this city before the general conference, which convenes in Elmira the week of June 26. NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y. New Rochelle, N. Y., May 29.—League Amusement Park was formally opened to the public Thursday, May 23, and a grand opening it was. Their only four hundred who paid admission. The League Guards gave an exhibition drill and Mister James Scott won the first prize, a bronze medal, and Silver medal. Mrs. C. P. Clendon in a brief but very encouraging address presented the League Guards with a slik flag. One needed only to have been present to see how opposed the guards were with their own defence. Sant David prevailed in behalf of the guards and hoped that all the citizens would assist the boys in purchasing other paraphernalia which they are in need. Sant David was the great credit for the work he has accomplished in short a time. Last week was "party" week all over the city and seemingly every family in the city was attending. But admission was always ten cents. The three thousand dollar rally which was called for by the Bethesda Church was the cause of the sociais. At the end of Sunday some $1,600 had been raised. The opening of St. Catherine's spring fair was a poor beginning. His Honor, the Mayor, was invited to be present and speak, and to our shame he came present to greet him except the master of ceremonies, who also had been waiting since 8.15.

Chums arranged the unique surprise, the decoration, the ascendance stair to enter the spacious room, the straining of "Mendelsohn's" Wedding March" came from the "land of nowhere." This was a signal, for instantly, without warning, as if by chance, the staircase a shower of the very choicest pieces of linen dropped by a bevy of merry "intriguers." For a moment Miss Cole stood spellbound, then straightway began to express her sincere gratitude to the dear chums who contributed to the happy surprise. Snap shots of the party were taken later here and there on the spacious lawn after which the guests were invited for farewells of those served in the "Garden of Love."

In his graduation oration on Theologicalism in the Christianism of the Negro, delivered at the commencement exercises of the Rochester Theological Seminary, Rochester, N. Y., May S, the Rev. Dr. Charles DuBois Hubert said in par. The last decade of the nineteenth century marked a period and a process in the evolution of the American Negro. It was during this epoch that the emancipation of the Negro influenced. But at no time has the race so rapidly emerged from old conditions. The period marks the entrance of the race upon a fresh stage of energy and life, a will emerging from ignorance and superstition, and by the light of the new ```markdown ``` "But such omissions of the mental pendulum not only represent progress but involve a menace. Shall this new learning of the Negro race develop into skepticism? The ammonium disintegrate in masculinity and in personality and is seen Negro religion at its worst—a religion enfeebled by the lack of ethical rightfulness and mixed with vague superstition. On the other hand we are confronted by Anglo-Saxon religion at its worst; the religion that permits its devotion to torture and murder man and bar the door of hope against his honest endeavors. The ethical ideal of the new Negro causes him to recolt from the one; his characteristic quality of heart makes him shrink from the other. The Christianity is finding and assimilating Anglo-Saxon Christianity at its best—that Christianity which is the resultant of the contact of African love and devotion with Anglo-Saxon energy and enterprise—a Christianity comical in its civilizing fashion; to mould the mind, to fashion the faith, to humanize the heart, to leave the life. "This progressive Christianity is the happy heritage of the cultured Negro. But God forbid that we should ever outgrow that sincere faith and trust of our pluious fathers and mothers who, in the days of slavery, worshipped God out of pure heart according to the light they had. "In these days when the race problem is most perplexing, the apostles of pessimism point to Negro criminality an evidence that Negro Christianity is a failure. In reply it need only be said that Georgia penitentiaries, less than five per cent, have had advantage of a Christian education. When you are asked to test the value of the Negro's Christianity by his criminality, remember the depth from which his Christianity has brought him. Consider a race set free less than fifty percent in indefinite poverty, without an ideal, an dhte wonder is that one remains to claim recognition by right of his merit."

WESTCHESTER OCCY STUDIO Ben "A" Mr. Vernon New York may 28 24 SHEEPSHEAD BAY NOTES The thirteenth anniversary celebration of the First Baptist Church Sheepshead Bay, the Rev. J. Robinson, minister of the thirteenth anniversary of the birth of Maria J. Fisher, mother and sister of the church, were celebrated day with special services. The Rev. J. Robinson, minister of the church, delivered the sermon on and the Rev. Mr. Robinson on of white and colored friends present Mrs. Fisher a purse containing 100 dollars of labors of love. Three little made speeches and presented her twenty-two roses, gifts also of friend Mother Fisher, who had aboved the labors of love, was completely surprised. Mrs. Fisher was born a slave in Westmoreland County, Va. She was twice married and twice divorced. She lived with her husband and Mrs. Bertha Green, both of whom have labored with their mother to establish and maintain the church. She was a resident with her two nieces in 1888. She established and maintained a successful hand laundry and was the own driver on the humble roads of the city. She tween Kings Highway and Country and, the land being in town. The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger says the primary ballot has opened a way they did not have before for Negroes to break into Republican conventions in Maryland. That is one gain at least. There will be no compromise candidate at the Chicago convention. I am my own compromise candidate; Col. Roosevelt said, as a parting shot in the Ohio campaign for delegates. Next to knowing what he is Col. Roosevelt knows what he wants. So does President Taft. --- Senator Winthrop Murray Crane of Massachusetts, one of the ablest and most useful Republican members of the Congress, has announced that he will not be a candidate for renomination next year. He is "a conservative, thoroughly out of sympathy with the radicalism that has taken a firm hold on both political parties." Conservative Democrats and conservative Republicans are being shoved aside in both the old parties. They may get together after the Chicago and Baltimore conventions do their work. "Put yourself into your work and you are sure of success," says the Hanibal (Mo.) Home Protective Record; while the Philadelphia Tribune says, there are many persons who are afraid to do any more than they think they are paid to do," reasoning that "they will get no thanks for extra interest displayed." The person who puts himself in his work, and who is not afraid to do a little extra work well and cheerfully when need be, will always be staged out for advancement or an increase of wages over another who does his work in a slipshod way and drags all extra work. The Negroes of Cuba, it is said, in revolt against the government which they did so much to make possible, and the governments of Havana and of Washington are both in a state of mind. During the war for Cuban independence the Negroes did most of the building and furnished most of the rooms for the cause, but when independence came the white Cubans took everything. American occupation example having taught them American difference, the black Cuban took white one. It is predicted by the knowing ones that the uprising will not amount to anything; but a revolution is much like a mule's hind leg. you can not tell what it will amount to until it extends itself. The scandalous doings of some of those who constitute "High Society" in America and Europe, do more to corrupt the morals of the masses of the people who "follow the style" and of the great tolling masses who have trouble enough to make enough to buy something to eat, and wear and pay real than anything else. A crowd of fashionable people, with the Grand Duke Michael of Russia and his wife, and the Ducess of Marlborough among them "at a Girillant ball at the Ritz in London, recently, revealed in scandalous cotillion features, among them the cablegram, the dancers wore imitation heads of beasts to which microphones were fixed, through which they bellowed imitations of animals." A New York woman recently gave a reception for her pet dog. When the idle nobility and the idle rich do such things civilization is certainly in a bad way. The Charleston Nower and Courier, the South Carolina white man's guide, philopher and friend, makes the sweeping statement that, "not ten per cent. of the Negroes in 'this part of the world do a full days' work a month." It claims that the Negro will "not pick cotton unless he needs the money for actual brand," and "so it is with the cooks, the dressers, the entire race." Now, what are the facts, what is the real truth? Educated Negroes on the spot should make it a business to get the facts and place them where the News and Courier and the rest of mankind can get at them. The Columbia Southern Indicator enters a general denial and protest, only when they want bread and that intelligent Negroes, like the intelligent people of any other race, are working for more than bread." The St. Louis Central Afro-American endorses the position of the Kansas City Journal that Negro church conferences are wise when they keep religion and politics separate and refuse to endorse this or that party and this and that candidate for office. This is the same view of the question, acting on the reverse of which has in the past done so much damage to the good name of our churches. A preacher should be a partisan of course, but he should keep his politics out of the political except as a censor of the administrations of all sorts in the administration. John the Baptist denounced moral corruption in Herod's court and family and was headed, and Jesus Christ denounced corruption in the priesthood and was crucified, but the abuses they denounced have in the progress of 1912 years become impossible in Gentile state and church administration without general condemnation. OF YOUR FAMILY QUESTIONS We are very sure that President Taft's position on "the Negro Question," as collated in the Washington correspondence of THE ACE, in the issue of May 16, from addresses made at various times and places by the President, proved informing and gratifying to the readers of THE ACE, and especially those of them who believe with us that President Taft deserves to succeed himself in the White House. He is squarely on record as being in favor of "recognizing the value to the State of encouragement the worthy colored man in his ambition to serve his country in times of peace as well as of war," in appointive as well as in civil service offices, and he has a long and creditable score of such appointments to his credit, as originating with him or as holdovers. On the vital question of the suffrage, speaking to the North Carolina Society in New York—a bad place for it to be! —President Taft said: "The proposal to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues." He said at the time the disfranchising amendment to the Maryland constitution was under consideration by the voters of the State. "It should be voted down by everyone, whether Democrat or Republican, who is in favor of the square deal." And it was voted down. Speaking of separate car discrimination. President Taft says: "I have never had any sympathy with the 'Jim Crow' car laws which classify and separate fellow-citizens according to their race or color." Of mob wrathers he says. "Nothing fills me with more horror and shame than the lynchings prevailing throughout the country generally." On every question of vital moment affecting their interests as men and citizens and partisans President Taft is on record as the outspoken friend and not the enemy of the colored people. What consideration they get as men, as citizens, as partisans, depends upon them and not upon President Taft, or upon any other individual in high or low places. The Negro is a man. The constitution so describes him and safeguards his citizenship, and his fellow-citizens so consider him. He has a free hand, then, as others of his fellow-citizens, to claim his own, as a man and citizen, as against all those who would rob him or push him aside. MEN ARE NEEDED ON GUARD EVERYWHERE. Men are needed on guard everywhere. Negro men, who have their own best interests at heart, who know their best interests, and therefore have the best interests of their own people and those of the nation at heart. No man can help others who cannot help himself. That is a self-evident truth to all those who do not make a fat living out of others on the pretext of helping them instead; parasites they, who preach loud and long the wisdom of working and saving for the rainy day but who do not work themselves and save nothing, and must depend upon the charity of those to whom they preach for everything they need; gamblers they, who spend most of their time and talent thinking out how they can make, something for nothing, how they can coax out of others, who want "to get rich quick" that they have worked hard for, by the turn of a card or a twist of the stock market, gambling for the most part on "a sure thing," alike the gambler in the Tenderloin and the gambler in Wall and Broad streets. And there is another sort, of the parasite class, who deal in what people must have to eat and drink and wear, who adulterate whatever they have to sell and give short weight and measure, and carry the price on all things as high as they can without arousing the suspicion of the customer; cheats they are, and they are to be found wherever men buy and sell. Men are needed on guard everywhere to keep flying the flag of right thinking and honest living and dealing; to make a positive factor in their lives and the lives of others the Christian philosophy of brotherhood, of friendship, of common faith, without which no work can be properly done, no word safely relied upon. The word of truth and the works of honest men go together; when so united in one person all the community singles him out and says of him. "Now, there's an honest, reliable man who can be depended upon to do what he says he will do." A certificate of character like that in any copununity is worth a fortune to any man. Our young men in all sections are going into business for themselves; they should do it and be encouraged in doing it, because a race of servers, of loafing parasites, who make all and spend all of and, with others than their own, hewers of wood and drawers of water, with no great enterprises of their own, matured or on the way to maturity, cannot respect itself and need not expect others to do so. Barred out of the manufacturing industries, the wholesale and retail trades, and the banking business, their children denied employment and opportunity for promotion in them, there is nothing left for 10,000,000 people so circumstanced, as Afro-Americans business, warehouse and retail trades and banking business of their own. They cannot accept the industrial and business station, place they call it, white men want them to occupy without sinking finally to the level of the Mexican peon, the Egyptian fellaheen and the Chinese coolie. That they are not doing anything of the sort is shown unmistakably by the Report of the Twelfth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, held in Little Rock, in August of last year. The report shows that the twelve years of constant work by the Business League has had a wonderfully stimulating influence upon the business initiative and development of the Negro. The foundation is laid and they are building the superstructure slowly but surely. We need men on guard everywhere to set the example of making the most of small-things as well as great things, such as they have done at Boley, Okla. Mound Bayou, Miss., and other places, and as they are doing in an isolated way in all parts of the country. Our vast industrial population, wage earners, should regard the business ventures of our men as their own ventures, and support them to the utmost of their means and opportunity. They will find it a good investment in the enhanced respect the success of the ventures will insure to the race and in the employment of their sons and daughters in profitable work, with a chance to learn how to conduct business undertakings of their own when they walk out of the schools into the world of affairs, where "the victory is not to the swift, nor yet to the strong, but to him that endureth to the end." A GOOD PLATFORM TO STAND UPON. A platform, like a foundation, should be built to stand upon and not to fall down upon. Character is in the nature of a platform; it is either good or bad. It can't be both and be of any service, any more than a person can serve two masters. The making of the platform, the making of the character, is the business of each person; as he makes it so will mankind measure and weigh the maker of it. We either serve that which we make, that we create, or it serves us; we are either the master or the slave of the thing we make, the thing we create. Take the whiskey habit, the tobacco habit, the swearing habit; if we make them, create them, for our pleasure, they make us serve them as their slave. Talking about the race question, which we have always with us, a wise friend recently said to us: "The Negro should stand upon his own feet. He should make his own business. interests, where he is the master, and thus be able to avoid or properly resent the insults and rebuffs he so often meets with in white business places, in many of which he is tolerated, curtly, as a patron, but not wanted as an individual." This is a mighty safe platform to stand upon and to work upon. As a matter of fact, our remarkable business development in the Southern and Southwestern States has been due largely to the attitude of white business interests that tolerated us as a patron but despised us, and take pains to hide it, as an individual. A creature who would not resent that sort of attitude would be less than a person. We repeat: The Negro should stand upon his own feet as a man, in all of the relations of life, or give of his life freely in the effort to do so. TO SOUTHERN DELEGATES. Just now, throughout the country, the Negroes who have been elected to the Chicago Convention as delegates are being closely watched. The report has gone out that these delegates can be bought; that they are on the market; that all of them have their price. Without entering into the political phase of the question as to whom these delegates are going to vote for, we want to urge each man who goes as a delegate to Chicago, to remember that his race is on trial and that not one of them will accept a cent of money for his vote. It is well known that THE AGE is supporting President Taft and means to support him to the end. Colored delegates, like others, have a right to vote for whom they please, and we hope that the majority of them will vote for President Taft, but under no circumstances should they be tempted to sell their vote. The Negro delegates have a chance to make a new record and a strong winning reputation for the race. They should expose any man in high place or low place who attempts to bribe them. They should let the world know in no uncertain way that any person insults them who offers to buy them and that they are not for sale. Let the white man sell his vote but the Negro never. We hope that every Negro delegate will pay his own expense to Chicago and thus refuse to place himself under obligations to anyone. Stand strong in the faith of right doing. The Negro city of Boley, Okla., with a population of 5,000, has neither policemen nor sooong, we understand. That is some record. In the State of Georgia, famous for corn liquor and the mob wrather who is a law unto himself, the name of Cobb is as common for number as the name of Smith in Virginia and. Battle in North Carolina. The greatest of all the Georgia Cobbs before the coming of Tyrus, was Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Federal Treasury in 1857. Every Cobb, of Georgia or elsewhere, has many grains that, planted in good soil, bring forth many things after their kind. Some are good, things and some are bad. But the souls of the Georgia Cobbs, properly fermented, go as naturally to corn whiskey and all sorts of lawlessness in the last analysis as the true vine goes finally to red wine and white champagne—and gout. In these latter days it remained for Tyrus Cobb, of Georgia, the star fielder and all-round player of the Detroit Baseball team of the American League, to place the Georgia Cobb name in the national eye and drag the Georgia delegation in Congress into the same place, as types of the turbulent and rebellious sort who think they are a law unto themselves, with unquestioned right to defy authority and laugh public opinion to scorn. It came about in this way: A short while ago the Detroit team was playing in New York. A man in the grandstand guyed, jibed and taunted the only Tyrus because of his way of playing ball, in the effort to "rattle" Tyrus in the interest of the home team. Tyrus stood it until he was likened to "a coon," a cunning animal numerous in Georgia. Tyrus jumped into the grandstand and beat the jiber, or someone else, unmercifully. After it was over it was found that the victim was not only a Georgian but a helpless cripple, unable to defend himself from the assaults of a child, and Tyrus Cobb is a great big brute. President Johnson, of the American League, suspended Cobb from the game indefinitely. The Georgia delegation in Congress, true to the mob weather spirit of their people, promptly wired the pugilistic Cobb its "sympathy and pride." "The sympathy and pride of the Georgia delegation in Congress, like that of Tyrus Cobb on the baseball diamond, is a rare bird of the foul sort, and naturally flocks together in times of trouble. When the 'Detroit team reached Philadelphia they refused to "play ball" unless Cobb was allowed to play. He was not, and the team went on strike. The question of clean baseball and rowdy baseball, which has long been a troublesome question, was settled by the firm stand of the League managers. The team weakened and each man of them was fined $100. Can any good thing come out of the white South? We are assured that it can, but we do not find that it does. Wherever in the country a Southern white man finds himself he proceeds to queer the situation if it will not bend to his will, unless the situation queers him, when he either takes himself away in a huff or remains in as meek as a lamb or as sullen as a dog. Boone Jones or Bumoos S. queesque Negroes in all parts of the country. In the large vast numbers turn out to witness the game and to enjoy relaxation from the fierce tension of the hard struggle of life. In the main, players and patrons are orderly and self-respecting. Rowdyism is rare. Let the good record be continuously improved upon. It will be profitable alike to ball players and patrons to do so. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS' OF FENSE. It is not often that an egotist like John Sharp, Williams, the Mississippi mountebank, gets such a "raking over" as has been administered to him throughout the country because of his sacrilegious parody, on the Apostle's Creed recently recited in the Senate of the United States. The most scathing of these "roasts" was addressed by Richard Harding Davis, the author, to the New York Times. Mr. Davis wrote: To the Editor of the New York Times: A few days ago in the United States Senate John Sharp Williams of Mississippi delivered a burlesque parody on the Apostle's Creed. In the hearing of other Senators, and of the public in the galleries, he mocked and held up to ridicule the doctrine of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. No speech in worst taste, as under bred, is ignoble, has it been my misfortune to read. It is reported that before Williams delivered his speech it already was in print. So he cannot claim he spoke unthinkingly. Not that the man himself matters. For years in the political circus Mr. Williams has chosen to play the clown. And when he insulted doctrines that are sacred to many millions, and for which tens of thousands have given their lives, he showed himself as he is, and was self-punished. It is not Williams who counts. But what I submit does count is that in the most important assembly of this country, in the hearing of representatives of ninety millions of people, the sacrifice and symbol of the restraction was ridiculed and mocked, and in that assentance, there was not one man with sufficient courage, with sufficient respect for himself, or for others to protest. There are certain traditions of conduct, of good taste, and gentle breasting that are supposed to obtain always; even after a man has entered the United States Senate. Among them is that a coward insults the dead, a flag, or a religion. Because none of these things can strike back. For their defense the dead, a nation's flag, and a religion must depend upon others. the world will be unhappy because of the world if you allow the question of the people you invite president; in some places death. But in the United States Senate, it appears, a balloon can drag in the sandwash of his circus ring that which to many millions is most holy and sacred, and no other ignitor rises in reproof, no other Senator rises to defend the Church that nursed him. As they used to say in the "Two Orphan," "Among so many gentlemen, is there not one man!" RICHARD HARDING DAVIS. Mount Kisco, May 15, 1912. THE AGE, in common with decent people everywhere, thanks Mr. Davis for his incisive characterization of the Mississippi Negro baiter. As long as he confined himself to foul-mouthed denunciations of the Negro, the country permitted him to go on his way undisturbed. We knew, however, that if he were given enough rope he would eventually run afoul of the decent sentiment of the country and in this instance he seems to have done so. THE LEFT-HANDED SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF EHUD. Get you to the outside, ye right-handed thinkers and workers who believe that you move yourselves and the world as ye will. A new prophet has arisen in the land, a mighty preacher of the Gospel by the left lung, the left tongue and the left hand. Nothing like the Order of the Sons and Daughters of Ehud, just organized at Orange, N. J. by Rev. William A. Frye, can be matched even in Richmond, Va., where the Negroes have orders named after all the names of the Bible, from Ham to Mary, we believe, and where all of them between the ages of ten and one hundred years belong to one or more orders. Why the Sons and Daughters of Ehud among them have neglected to organize and name themselves after the left-handed Benjaminite perhaps the Richmond Planet will be kind enough to explain for them, or Giles Benjamin Jackson, who is left-handed, we believe, or acts and talks that way if he is not. We have always thought well of left-handed people, because we are also one of them as well as one of the right-handed sort, but we never imagined the things of them that Rev. Frye does. True, all normal hearts are on the left side, and people usually think from left to right, except Jews and most Orientals, who think and work from right to left. They always do things in the unexpected way to Europeans and Americans on that account. We are very glad that we are able to think and to act by the left or by the right, as the exigencies of the situation and the moment require, as well as straight front from straight rear, which is the center and best way. To be armed in this wise, on the four sides, is the surest sort of protection from the unexpected that may rise up to confuse from the bottom or the top of one. But, what says the preacher of the Sons and Daughters of Ehud? Much that stirs to reflection and hope for the left-handed. Here follows a veracious reproduction of his words from the report of the New York Herald: Dr. Frye took a text from the book of Judges, "The Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, a Benjamin, a left-handed man," and one from Job, "sought him on the left hand, where he works." Left-handed persons and left handedness have always been a symbol for all that is undable, awkward and incompetent; he said, "but it is time that that idea was abandoned. The left handed man is right brained, and we know it to be a scientific fact that the right knee of the brain is larger and stronger than the left, right handed people are left brained. Life is left handed. Christianity is left handed, God is left handed, for He is where he is needed most and that is on the left handed side of things. "What left handed persons need most is a cheerful smile and a realization that everything is all right. I wish I had here the two great men who are now going about the country calling each other names and being cheered and egged on by the public just the same as if they were prize fighters in Madison Square Garden, or built fighters in Madrid. These two men who have for gotten themselves should learn the doctrine of cheerfulness and the spirit of brotherly kindness." Now let the left-handed Sons and Daughters of Ham, of the name of Elud, of the Tribe of Benjamin, take heart of hope and fetch themselves together in an order. If it is good for Rev. Frye and the left-handed Gentiles, who are no Benjaminites of Ham of Canaan except by invitation of Saint Paul of Benjamin, how much more good must it be for the real Benjaminites of Ham of Canaan? --- The responsibility that devolves upon the Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, as primarily the governing body of the church, is disclosed in statistics furnished at the General Conference now in session at Kansas City. We cite some of them: There are 13 bishops, with four vacancies; membership, 620,000; ministers in pastorates, 6,564; Sunday school membership, 231,828 teachers, 47,861, number of schools, 5,831. Total property valuation, $14,028,491. It is the twenty-fourth General Conference of the Church, or the ninety-sixth year of General Conference organization. The strength of the other Methodist bodies, with the Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and lesser bodies, comprehend a total membership of quite one-half the 10,000,000 Afro-American population. This membership of the churches is the best asset the race possesses, as Christian philosophy is the basis of race as well as of national strength. The Faith That Moves Mountains. We have great faith in the final triumph of right and in the words of the prophet will be content to wait "until the day break and the shadows flee away."—Richmond Planet. The View of an "Anti." In Los Angeles a husband votes at one precinct, while his wife votes at another. Well, we thought this suffrage question would result in separating men and wife—Richmond Reformer. Chicken Raising at Tuskegee The school has recently installed a six thousand egg capacity incubator. With the smaller incubators which have been in use for some time, this will give an egg capacity of nearly ten thousand. The larger poultry plant of the largest possible service to the students in poultry raising, as well as to the several thousand farmers of the South who gather at the institute from time to time during the year. There are approximately 3,950 foils, of which 1,460 are chicks hatched within the past few weeks.—Southern Letter. Reaction in South Carolina The laws that were passed to disfranchise Negroes are now re-acting. The intention was that there should be a "loop hole" for white men so that every man who had a white face or claimed to be a Caucasian could vote. The law would over the very law which they passed to eliminate the Negro vote. The lawmakers will have to enforce the law and teach and practice justice to all men before we can have peace and prosperity in Iowa Carolina and to all species privileges or none. Let there be no "loop hole." Columbia Plowman. The Mitten Industry in Baltimore. Has anyone ever stopped to realize that Baltimore is noted for broken engagements? Stop and go over your list of prominent men, especially, and women, both professional and other, who have been the savior of a large number who "loved and lost." As Baltimore is also noted for the fewness of domestic tragedies, the above interesting comment would indicate not the fickleness of our men and women, but rather their good common sense. If fewer engagements were made, fewer discords and dissensions. As it is well said, "One never knows a person until one closes doors with him." so a woman just begins to know a man when he assumes the closer relation of fance. Then if he is incompatible, she shows most excellent judgment in getting rid of him—Baltimore Times. Race Progress Reviewed. In that steady progress which is being made by our people, it is easy to trace the influences which are at work shaping and moulding character and lifting them up into the new life. This new life is the goal for which all men are called to work, and main as the supreme reward of human endeavor and human strivings. It is the reward of faithful service, and is reached by a series of steps whose stays are as secure as anything which truth and right living can construct. The lowest rung of the ladder, our people have to rudiments of education, save their earnings, buy homes, build churches and schools, organize societies and in many other ways lay the foundation for that gradual but sure success which has been well laid and superstructure has been grown depends mostly upon our people themselves.—Clarksburg (W. Va.) Clarion. True Before More Tape! True Reformers Tangle in Cincinnati. We believe that, with its immense resources under careful and capable business management, the True Reformers will yet pull out and again business management of its earlier days. The affairs of the Cincinnati reached its climax a few days ago. Tired of procrastination, tired of unpaid bills, court proceedings were instituted in behalf of his clients by Mr. Edward E. Minnes. A young colored lawyer, for conferences of the legal humiliations, he appointed Reformer. Minnes receiver of the True Reformers here, which means that he has entire charge of its property in this country, the collection of rents and all bills due the True Reformer, to set all of its possessions here. If necessary, the affairs in proper shape and settle the outstanding claims. Mr. Minnes is under $5,000 bond. The honor that he has attained is unprecedented in this county, possibly in this State, as he has attained in this area over property, whose value ranges twenty-five and fifty thousand dollars.-Cincinnati Union. An Old Scandal Revived. When one sells himself to do mischief, he hardly knows when and where to stop. The wife of Potpharria was then the Emperor Joseph II, and no scraps in telling the baseless lie on him, that her wickedness could invent; but time led to its undoing. WASHINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Washington Bee Resents Slurs on Colored Assistant Superintendent of Schools—A Scatching Rebuke. We quote the following from Mr. Dulffs magazine: "Every color member of the board of Education in the District of Columbia voted to dismiss Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the present assistant in charge of the colored schools. The Board members voted to sustain him. It is suggested that this vote is indicative of the interests which Mr. Bruce serves." This is a needless and mean slur on Dr. Dulffs contends that there should be no account of races. We are all one race and one man is as good as another. If this contention is true, why does Dr. Dulffs draw the line between what the white trustees do and the colored trustees do, what that the majority of the Board of Education voted to sustain Mr. Bruce? Dr. DuBois belongs to a class of colored people who in the breath condemn and slur at white people, and with another breath are begging money from them. If Mr. Bruce should drop him this position in Washington to-day, Dr. DuBois would be among the first seeking to hear the goodness of the white traitors in order to get the place now held by Mr. Bruce, he has made several unsuccessful attempts in the past. Dr. DuBois should be the last man in this country to slur at and condemn the white people as he is constantly doing the same, and dedicated to the white people in the United States than is Dr. DuBois. Instead of shurring and condemning them, he should fall down upon his knees for what they have done for him. Through the good graces and generosity of white people. It has been proven over and over again that Dr. DuBois has not suffered collisions among colored people of this country to sustain him in his inane policy. Wherever he has succeeded, it has been through the aid of white people and not through the aid of colored people. Dr. DuBois, like an eminent man, even by the last man in America to slur at or abuse white people. Howard Alumni Association Banquet To the Editor of The Age: On behalf of the Banquet Committee of the General Alumni Association of Howard University, I have the honor to request the courtesy of your columns for a word with the graduates and friends of the Alma Mater. On June 5, 1912, the annual meeting of the Alumni Association will take place in Andrew Rankin Chapel, University campus, at 10 o'clock a.m. in the afternoon of that day the graduation of the colleges conferring degrees will be held in the open air on the campus. At 8 o'clock in the evening the General Alumni Association will be held in the Hall. University campus. It is of this latter event that I wish to speak. It has become a fixed custom in the national life of many peoples for divers of them to come together from time to time and, laying aside all thought of business, profession or avocation, themselves to the work of cementing friendship accord. At such times it is customary to gather about the banquet board. As the American aborigines of 1492 were wont to celebrate friendship by sharing the puffs of the calumet; as the Oriental found it pleasing to display his kindly sentiment by breaking bread him who was a sojourner within his dwellings, and nations of to-day, it is customary to cement friendship over the cafe noir. I have the distinguished honor, therefore, to extend to every graduate of Old Howard—Howard, "the Another of men—and to every friend, withal, of the same kind," at our festal board in Miner Hall on the evening of June 5. Those who were present at the annual banquet last year proclaimed the fact that it was the most enjoyable event of the kind they were attending, and last year's banquet will pale in the recollection of this year's feast. Let every son, daughter and friend of the Alma Mater who can possibly do so, come to Howard on June 5 and help the banquet of 1912 the most magnificent in the history of the university. Advices already received from Atlantic City, Jersey City, New York City, Philadelphia, Wheeling, Charleston and Clarkburg, W. Va., Baltimore and Washington, W. Va., the effect that the attendance at the annual meeting this year will be the largest the association has ever known, especially in point of out-of-town visitors. The price per plate at the annual banquet will be $1.50. Remit by mail to the address of the banquet fined check or registered letter, to Thea H. R.

CHICAGO IL Regular Correspondence of THE AOR Chicago, Ill., May 28.—Chicago is all astir in anticipation of the National Convention of the Republican party in the coming June. The colored citizens are wide awake to the importance of the event. S. Lalng Williams called together last week for the purpose of bringing mentions to entertain the colored delegates and visitors. In this movement are Col. Marshall, W. H. Neighbors, R. R. Jackson, B. F. Mosely, Dr. Gee C. Hall, Oscar R. Priest, A. Forrester F. L. Barnett, E. E. Wilson, Albert G. George, W. H. Cowen, Dr. D. H. Williams, John H. H. Williams, E. H. Wright, Willis Jefferson, Dr. A. W. Williams, G. G. Anderson, Mak F. L. Dennison, Mr. Camp, May J. C. Buckner, Dr. W. F. Garnett, A. P. Perry, W. R. Wright, A. H. Harris, J. S. Madden, W. L. Martin, James E. White and James Early. The purpose of the committee is to give a meeting good time to the visitors within the bounds of good trade and fellowship. One of the most interesting visitors we have had in our most for some time was Prof. Pickins of Tahoe. Mr. Pickins was much in demand and many organizations as a speaker. He was tendered a reception at the Frederick Douglas Center and he there met a fine audience of all complexities. He thrilled all present with a hospitable and uplifting address. The local library set down to real hard work preparing for the National Convention in August of this year. The Executive Committee have outlined a fine program for the reception and entertainment of the much elated and one that will afford much pleasure. The Amands Smith Orphanage Home Association is approaching its June anniversary and the friends of Mrs. Amanda Smith, its founder, and Mrs. Amanda Smith, its son, for an interesting event. Mrs. Smith tries with vigor and grace the weight of her seventy years, but her travels are planning to relieve her of the burden of her social worker's duties, as an evangelist among the benefactors of the trust. In Europe, Africa and America, religious work has extended to lands and conditions of people. Her resident service to hundreds of orphan children has led to the dedication to all lovers of mankind. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, who is affiliated with Provident Hospital, has underlined his resentment as director and head of the newly known institution. The Taft Club of Chicago has hired headquarters in the colored district and are planning aggressive work.

The Kratons are at the Empire Theatre, West Hartlepool, England, with the Empire, Sunderland, to follow. The Smart Set Company closed for the season in "Dr. Beans from Boston" at Hurtig and Seamon's Music Hall last Saturday. At the Auditorium Theatre, Philadelphia, this week are Huggins and Berry, Liston and Liston, Mitchell, Stewart and Bradley, Gordon and Staggord and Smith and Burton. The Golden Gate Trio closed to big business last week at the Ohio Theatre, Louville, and opened this week in Lexington, with Nashville to follow. Arthur Williage was held over last week at the Crescent Theatre and the management was so pleased with his work that he was kept for the first half of this week. Crumbley, Davis and Bailey went big the second half of last week at the Crescent Theatre in their new sketch, which has several good songs and some real comedy. The act is well costumed. Mullins and Witthers are newcomers from the West who have a musical act which should catch on in the East. Both the male and female member of the team are good musicians. The act was as the Crescent the second half of last week. WITH fresh laurels and enjoying a much larger reputation as a representative musical organization than when heard last fall, the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra gave its fifth concert at Manhattan Casino Thursday evening before an audience that tested the seating capacity of the spacious structure. Somehow the large attendance seemed to suggest that the citizens were welcoming the Clef Club members after their recent triumph at Carnegie Hall. Under the direction of James Reese Europe, who was assisted by William H. Tyers, the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra gave a capable performance, presenting a program similar to the one given at Carnegie Hall. It would be impossible to speak other than enthusiastically of the work of this talented aggregation of musicians and singers which surely will attract general attention by reason of meritorious work and uniqueness of instrumentation. The information that William Hammerstein, manager of Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre, is negotiating to put the organization under his management and tour the country is a piece of good news, and it is hoped that the deal will be consummated. It would mean much to the Negro in the world of music. As was the case at Carriegie Hall, the numbers most liberally applauded Thursday evening were the "Rain Song" and "Swing Along" with chorus. The public has shown in no uncertain terms that it relishes such numbers, and it would be a wise move on the part of the club to render in the future more selection in which the voices and instruments form such a delightful combination. The program presented by the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra follows: Clef Club March—James Reese Europe Clef Club Chant written by Creamer and Europe. Dance of the Marionettes." Composed by Hugh Woolford and Wm. H. Tyers. (a) "Tout a Vous" (Wholly Yours). Value Petite (b) "Panama." Characteristic Dance Compared by Wm. H. Tyers. Composed by Wm. H. Iyerk. "Brain Song" (From Bandanna Land.) Composed by Alex. Rogers and Will James Cook—Rendered by the Cefl Cook. Us. Banded Knees, Religious. Composed by Harry Burleigh. Played by the Cefl Club Symphony Orchestra. "Mula" Dance, Hawaiian. James Reeve Europe. "Larrypine Waltzes" James Reeve Europe. "Bring Along," Cefl Club Chorus Poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, melody by Will Marion Cook. "The Strength of the Nation." James Reese Europe. "The Star Spangled Banner." Clerf Club. There are times when I am forced to form the opinion that the Clerf Club does not regard itself as seriously as its many patrons and well-wishers. Against my will I found myself in such a state of mind Thursday evening when "The Lost Ticket," styled as "a farce in two acts and two scenes," was produced in conjunction with the concert of the orchestra. No mistake was made in calling "The Lost Ticket" a farce, and it is devoutly hoped that "The Lost Ticket" will not be found by the time the Clerf Club gives its next entertainment. The good intentions and ability of the writers and actors of the farce are not put in question for one moment, but after all, those who patronize the Clef Club entertainments are entitled to some respectful consideration on a warm evening. "The Lost Ticket" may be worthy of presentation at the Metropolitan Opera House, but to produce it alternately on the program with the instrumental numbers was an injustice to both. Mr. Christopher Columbus, who was some more discoverer, could not have done the ticket finding stunt and made the farce, a success Thursday evening, as it was produced in a too disconnected manner. Those in the audience who were unable to learn what the play was about soon reached the conclusion that something was lost, as the members of the cast were on the stage one-third of the time and running about the Casino the other two-thirds. Then the performers, attired in Chinese costumes, did the "Tangle Rock" and "Get Over, Sal" all the floor, finally returning to the stage, where the performance was finished by an exhibition of eccentric dancing, some of which was good. It is a difficult matter for the Clef Club to give a first class symphony concert and a musical comedy or a wunderdistille show, on the same evening. The sooner the members come to this conclusion the better. The organization has made a hit with the public because of the excellence of the entertainment furnished by the symphony orchestra and nothing else. Plenty of opportunity will be given those who sing but who do not play instruments. "Swing Along" and the "Rain Song" have shown this. As for comedy, the Clef Club will never make a national reputation producing funny plays. The public regards it as a first class musical organization. To date the success of the Clef Club has been in the willingness of each and every member to work in harmony and to hold in high esteem the heads of the organization. All petty differences have been put aside, and the members have worked earnestly and zealously, with the result that the club is beginning to attract general attention. There is but one way in which additional progress can be made if the members desire to see the Clef Club, attain an enviable position in the realm of music, and that is by a continuance of hard work, cooperation and by showing marked respect for the superior officers. C. V. B. A. ELECTION. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Colored Vandeville Benevolent Association was held at the club rooms, 320 W. 59th street, Tuesday evening, the occasion being the annual election of officers.

Y., that Sherman Coates, who had been seriously ill for only a short time at the home of his wife died last Friday of pancreas. The deceased was one of the best colored straight men in the business and for many years was associated with James Grundy in the Watermelon Trust act. Grundy died several months ago. On Monday, June 3, Charlie Hart and J. Rosamond Johnson will make their debut in Manhattan as a team at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, where they will present their sketch with three scenes entitled "The Entertainers." Rosamond Johnson was formerly of the Cole and Johnson while Charlie Hart was until recently a member of the team of Avery and Hart. The death of "Bob" Cole, which was followed by the passing away of "Dan" Avery, broke up the two widely-known colored vaudeville teams, and now Charlie Hart and J. Rosamond Johnson have joined hands. The new combination, Sam McKeen, the affable writer on the Morning Telegraph, comments as follows: Mme. Stasieretta Jones (Black Patti) will invade Harlem with her aggregation of comedians, singers and dancers next week, opening at Hurtig and Sonam's Music Hall Monday afternoon, June 3. The Black Patti Musical, Comedy Company appeared at the Grand Opera O HART-JOHNSON DEBUT Charles Hart and J. Rosamond Johnson will make their first Broadway appearance as partners at Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre next Monday. Singularly enough, the last time either was seen on a Broadway stage was at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. Cole and Johnson played the last week of their partnership care a singing Fifth Avenue. The following week Cole's nerves collapsed and his death slowly followed. Avery and Hart were last seen together on Broadway at the Fifth Avenue, though they did play a few weeks at other theatres after that time, and before Dan Avery's sudden death. With Bert Williams in musical comedy, Charles Hart and J. Rosamond Johnson will be generally conceded to be without rivals on the stage, but they will ordert entertainers. Hart and Johnson will further be a combination vastly exceeding in entertaining qualifications either the team of Cole and Johnson or the team of Avery and Hart. BLACK PATTL IN HARLEM House only a few weeks ago with success, and the organization will close a prosperous season in Harlem. In the company will be "Happy" Julius Glenn, Al Watts, Tillie Seguin, W. A. Cooke and others. NEW CIRCUIT FORMED. The Affiliated Vaudeville Circuit is the name of a new theatrical combination formed this week by the heads of the Moss and Brill and Cunningham and Fluegelman circuits which promises to be quite a factor in the vaudeville world before many months have passed. The appearance of a new circuit in the field is of much interest to colored performers in that all good colored acts will be given booking. Every act will have to do but three shows a day on the Affiliated Vaudeville time. I. Fluegelman, who made many friends as manager of the Crescent Theatre, is president of the Newsted combination and BenJ. Moss in the second unit. The offices of the circuit are in the Heldberg Building, Broadway and Forty-second street. The booking of the new circuit will not be controlled by agents as is the case in many instances, but by men who own and control their own houses. The 166th filleted Vaudeville time are the 86th Street, Theatre, the McKinley Square Theatre and the De Kalb Theatre, Brooklyn. In course of construction are the Bay Ridge Theatre, the Jefferson Square, the Lurence Theatre, the nue, and the Lovely Theatre, 146th street and Broadway. Many other theatres will be built and leased. "DAMON AND PYTHIAS." "Damon and Pythias" will be produced at the Lenox Casino, 116th street and Lenox avenue, Monday evening, June 10, with R. Henri Strange as principal, supported by Freed, D. Hoeffler, Chenault, Harold Stimmelkjee and Jeremy. The play will be staged by Jesse A. Shipp. Mr. Strange will much praise for his hilarious work as "King Menelik" in Williams and Walker's "Abyssina." IN THE WORLD OF SPORT New York Giants Withdraw from Game THE spectacle of white baseball fans trying to mob members of the New York Giants for withdrawing from a game with the San Francisco, a colored team, was presented at Olympic Park. Patterson, N. J., Sunday afternoon. There were no differences of opinions between the colored and white players, but the white umpire and the members of the Giants and the spectators could not agree. The Smart Set nine is owned by Dick Cogan, a former big league pitcher, who is now an influential citizen of Paterson. He arranged to have several members of the New York Giants visit Paterson and play the colored team Sunday afternoon. Before the game Druecke, one of New York's pitchers, who hails from the South, objected to playing under his name, preferring to appear under the name of O'Brien because of his racial views as he feared that his reputation would be injured if the colored players defeated the Giants with him in the box. In the seventh inning Umpire Warner gave a decision to which McCormick of the Giants objected. What the umpire said was a foul McCormick claimed was WILL APPEAR AT THE Week Commencing June 3 IN A SKETCH WITH THREE SCENES ENTITLED "THE ENTERTAINERS" ```markdown ``` Act appearing over the Big Time under the direction of M.

The two were about to mix when Fletcher interposed. Then Chief of Police Coughlin of Paterson threatened to arrest McCormick if he struck Umpire Warner. With the score 3 to 3 in the ninth, the Giants started another argument over a new ball, and Wilbert Robinson, who and the visitors in charge, ordered them off the field. Many think this move was made by the Giants because it looked as if they were going to be defeated. It was then that the fans became angered and threw sticks and stones at the retreating residents of Manhattan. NEW YORK. r. h. o. a. c. SMRT SET. r. h. o. a. c.

Mrs. Bethune, founder and principal of the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls, gave a short address in which she congratulated Miss Minott on the establishment of the school. She predeceased greatly whatever stands for the uplift of our race, as this Home certainly does. I am told that Miss Minott is the only graduate of the school of pharmacy in your city. I am proud of her achievements, because if she is succeeding in that field, I am confident that she will sincerely trust that she must have the hearty cooperation and support of her race in her shorts." Mrs. Bethine also also of her school and school for girls of Easton, PA. A year ago she sold a few books to us gathered a few doors above this house to congratulate Mrs. Adela K. Minnet upon her achievement in securing a beautiful house in so good a locality and making it into a real home where in her story she would find comfort, organise good work and that indescribable something called homeliness so dear to all of our hearts. Then all was smooth and congratulation and for but the storm clouds were gathering and then the storm of rain preyed forest in all its fury; persecution began; so great a corporation as the New York Times taking the lead and our hearts were sad, because displacement had come to had told ardently and unselfly. "However, her apposites and many of her friends had not fully estimated the dating and pluck, the persistence and courage of Miss Minnet. The closing of the little house, the Sheridan lodgings called Little Phil she said. "Turn friends, we are going back, and to delight our joy is deeper and more thoughtful and intense as we realize that it is hard or well high impossible to maintain. Nor does it "This is the note of optimism and of pride and for that we are sounding tonight, and we shall not only congratulate you and your family, but also your partake work by recommending the stranger who will soon pour into our city, seeking perma-tion or knowledge to patronize the like Studio, which is not the University School, but a comfortable, almost luxurious home.

For Latest Theatrical News Read The New York Age AVERNESVILLE, Va., May 28—St. Paul Normal and Industrial School conducted for the normal and industrial expedition of Negro youth of both sexes, and its closing exercises last week. They began Sunday with the preaching of the annual sermon to graduates by the Rev. Arthur P. Gray, Jr., rector of St. Andrew's, the Local Episcopal Church and ended last night with the annual inauguration of the alumni organization The graduating exercises were held Wednesday night at 8 p. m., out of classes on the lawn of Webster Hall. The attendance was unprecedented, over one thousand people from various parts of the country and nearby towns being present. The white friends of the school attended in large number, two hundred occupying reserved seats out in the audience besides those on the platform. The program consisted of public and folk songs, trade and academic papers. The participants acquitted themselves well. The president of the Board of Trustees, Bishop A. M. Randolph, presided. Seated on the platform with him besides the trustees were Bishop Coadjutor Tucker, Dr. Floyd W. Thomkins, Philadelphia; Postmaster Harrison, Hon. J. C. Carter, Houston, Va.; the Revs. A. P. Gray, Jr., J. T. Ournh, H. T. Butler and others. The address to the graduates was by the Rev. Floyd W. Thomkins, D. D., rector of Holy Trinity Church, Philadelphia. It was a most eloquent and practical effort. Special stress was laid upon the necessity of doing something in life and the importance of not living for self alone. Dr. Thomkins paid special tribute to what he declared was the great work of Archdeacon Russell in helping his people to help themselves and in educating and Christianizing them, that St. Paul's appeal, in view of the far reaching and conclusive effects of its work, should not tall unheeded on any ear. The speaker counseled the class against pessimism, characterizing a pessimist as a man who blew out the light and then found fault with the darkness of his own creation. After a jubilee song, Bishop Randolph, president of the Board, presented the diplomas. In doing so the bishop took occasion to express his heartfelt thanks at the genuine progress and advancement of the school. All of the papers and addresses were good, so good that distinction seems almost invidious, but because of its human interest and the concrete example it gave of the real effect of the training and education given at St. Paul, the "Story of My Life," by Joseph Wall, a brickmason, a trade and normal graduate, class 10, deserves special mention. The first and second prizes of $10 and $10 in gold, respectively, for the first and second best paper, essay oration on some academic or trade subject, were awarded: First prize to Jasper Davis, special A class; second prize to Miss Edmonia Watson, middle A class. The battalion competitive drill was won by Co. B, Capt. O. O. Morris. The prize was a handsome sword. The graduates were: Normal, Elmira Butchet, Warfield; Mary J. Boyd, Portsmouth; J. Bessie Brown, Surry; James D. Cypress, Surry; Lestus P. Logn, Lexington; William Snead, Duscock; William A. Streat, Victoria; Sirley M. West, Danville; Edward L. Stard, Richmond; all of Virginia; and James Dudley, Darien, Ga.; Charlotte Kennedy, Newbern, N. C.; and Arnold Spurlock, St. Albans, West Va.

OYSTER (Continued from page 1.) tion is a great community of rich and poor, of white and black, in which the just solution of the en- enraged human problems and the very tone of civic life depends largely upon the quality of lea- ship displayed by the ablest men; and Whereas, James Frederick Oyster has attained a leadership to which his fellow-citizens are proud to bow in respect, by alert and steadfast loyalty to the common good, by courageous honesty, by insti- nitive democracy; and Whereas, Captain Oyster's public service has been cramped by no distinctions of wealth or race, or color, but has known only the individual man and his merits and human justice; and Whereas, This good man had devoted his personality, his great energy, and his courage to the vital task of making all the schools of all the children of all the people in this District as good as the best in the land; therefore Be it Resolved, That the colored citizens of Washington do express their since and lasting appreciation of James F. Oyster, do assert that of right is he called "the great Commander of the District of Columbia," do bear witness to the fact that in deed and in truth he has lived up to his principle that "the best is none too good for our children," and do indulge the hope that even at some further sacrifice of comfort and of dollars he may still bear the call of duty and continue his services as President of the Board of Education. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be engrossed and transmitted to Captain Oyster. After being presented with a beautifully engrossed copy of the resolutions by Mr. Cobb, Capt. Oyster was presented to the audience and received with prolonged applause. During his speech Capt. Oyster said in part: "When a man undertakes to serve the public he ought to realize that the greatest reward he can ever receive is the gratitude and appreciation of the public. You have given me to-night this most excellent reward, and I thank you from a bottom of my heart."

The world will soon care very little about the race to which a man belongs, but the question to be asked is this: What has he contributed to the cause of humanity?" In delivering his oration Dr. Parkhurst took up the question of character building, emphasizing some of the needs of the Negro race and especially the average Negro, saying: "For the Negro is superficial.

Jun 1-8/20 Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to wash it every day. Nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. Offer a wavard of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Klink-no-more is a vegetable compound: it is perfectly harmless and will not injure hair and keep it soft and glossy. Remember to do it only when falling out; positively removes daudruf; promotes a liquidurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember to do it all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Klink-no-more, enough to straighten from hair and keep it soft and glossy. Send registered letter, postal money order or express money order. Liberal inducements offered to agents. Write-to-day for special terms. Enclose a stamp with every envelope.
