Assert that Offerings Do Not Total One-Half of Money Needed—Not Opposed to Administration of Poster Bolden. The trustees of Mother Zion A. M. E. Church have issued a strong statement denying the allegations that they have been extravagant in spending the money of the congregation. They point out that the weekly collections only amount to one-half of the amount needed for running expenses, and that the church was so hard pressed for money with which to pay its debts that they, after having been duly authorized, had to borrow $10,000, thus increasing the mortgage debt to $20,000. They also deny that they are opposed to their pastor, the Rev. R. M. Bolden. The statement, which was presented at the recent season of the New York A. M. E. Zion conference, is as follows: To the New York Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church Assembled. Brethren: The trustees of Mother Zion Church do hereby make the following statement with reference to the matters stated in the press concerning the condition of the present trustee board in order that we may be set right with conference at our attitude in administering the affairs of the church: First—That the trustees wish to be understood that not one of them had any personal feeling against our pastor. Second—That the church sent James E. Nickson as a delegate to the General Conference, and that a large number of the older members of Mother Zion Church had prevailed upon this trustee board from time to time to ask the bishop for a change of pastor. And that, acting under those requests, the trustees sent a message to Bishop Hood, by the delegate, asking "that if he had a better name," Justice be sent to Mother Zion Church, otherwise that we desired the return of the Bolden" and under the circumstances was Rev. Holden to be hurt, but that he was to be provided for, otherwise send him back to Third—That the trustees did not act upon its initiative, but simply carried out the will of the people as it was expressed to the trustee board. Fourth. That no extravagances could possibly be held at the door of the present trustee board, for the reason that under no circumstances could they have been extravagant because of the fact that we have had to continuously borrow money to pay the running expenses of our church, for the reason that our weekly income is not in keeping with the weekly expenses that our average weekly expenses are about one hundred and seventeen ($117) dollars, figured on a yearly basis, and our income from collections, amounts to less than sixty ($60) dollars per week, that our books are always open, any member of our corporation for his or her inspection showing in detail from whom and when our money is received and how expended, and that six reports are rendered to the members of our church each year, showing our financial status, which includes one semi-annual report and four reports to the quarterly conference, all of which reports up to the present time have been adopted by our church corporation. Now as to the mortgage upon our church. There was ten thousand ($10,000) dollars placed on said church about the time when it was built; that during the month of March, this year, a statement of the financial condition of our church was made to its membership at a special meeting, corporation, only held, and held, on a resolution duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the trustee board was authorized to increase the amount of its first mortgage to the extent of ten thousand ($10,000) dollars, amounting to twenty thousand ($20,000) dollars in all. That the mortgage is a matter of record in the office of the County Clerk of the City of New York and is a public record, so that any person being interested therein, or in himself, might easily be informed just what the status of our property is. That every well-informed person knows only too well that it would be absolutely impossible for this trustee board to place any mortgage of any kind upon the church property in this State or city without first being specifically authorized to do so by the church corporation. Fifth—That this trustee board never paid the sum of one hundred and thirty ($126) dollars for a table on the church property, nor ever made such statement made a statement that was not founded in truth or based on facts. The truth of the matter is that the table which the trustees gave to the church form forty ($40) dollars, which said sum was paid by the congregation we have in this scription about the church and get with the church funds, that this scription originally, as we are intended, would be a gift to the church and thirty ($130) dollars, and we felt it would be a gift that would be greatly appreciated by our church instead of having been condemned by the recipients whom we were trying to please and benec- THE LAND OF THE LORD fit, and which we consider base ingratitude to say the least. To be a trustee of any church and attempt to do your duty is a very hard situation, to say the least. It requires the greatest sacrifice and in all fairness and justice the trustee of this or any other church should be at least dealt with on GETS HARVARD DEGREE Prof. C. G. Woodson Made a Doctor of Philosophy on "The Disruption of Virginia." Special to THE AQL. WASHINGTON, June 3, C. G.

Hillen, Secretary to President, Will Manage Campaign for Repub- licane-McRinley Praises Loyalty of Celored Delegates. Special to THE ACK. WASHINGTON, July 3.—Charles D. Hilles, secretary to President Taft, is the choice of the chief executive for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. To Mr. Hilles was left much of the exacting, work which resulted in the renomination of Mr. Taft, and he discharged his duties to the satisfaction of all concerned. Congressman McKinley, who managed Mr. Taft's campaign for the renomination, praises Mr. Hilles highly. He also denies the claim that has been made that Colonel Roosevelt could have been nominated had he made certain concessions to the colored delegates, and incidentally commends the loyalty of the fifty-eight delegates of the race who stood steadfast with the President. "They demonstrated their manhood and honor," says Mr. McKinley, "which will reflect credit upon their race everywhere. We had five affidavits from colored delegates that they had been tempted with large sums of money for their votes. While some of the delegates had ample means, others were poor and had exhausted their resources before balloting for the renomination, yet they stood firm."

SHOULD STAND BY PRESIDENT Major Wright Says Republican Party is Best Friend of Race DELEGATES PRAISED Points to Recognition of Leading Men of the Race as Sign of Friendship OTHER PARTIES ARE UNSAFT Housing Conditions Here Studied With a View of Improving Conditions in Savannah, Ga. That the colored voters of the country should think seriously of the harm they may do the race by refusing to support President Taft for re-election or by allying themselves with another party, new or old, is the opinion held by Major Wright, founder and president of the George State Industrial College, at Savannah. Major Wright was in New York City this week studying housing condition with a view of improving the living conditions in his home city, where he is president of the Negro Civic Improvement League. While here he was the gue of Rev. Dr. William W. Beckett, of 30 Cumberland street, Brooklyn, president elect of Allen University, Columbia S. C. The Major is a stalwart Republic and has been a delegate to five nation conventions. He wrote part of the Negro plank in the Republican platform c. 1880, and the planks favoring the race. the late President Harrison was the nominee. Though he declined to be a delegate from his State at the recent convention in Chicago, his engagement being such as to preclude his attendance he was honored by being chosen as alternate-at-large from Georgia. In an interview with a representative of THE AGE, he said: "President Taft deserves a re-election at the hands of the Republican part and I believe he will again be President: The colored voters of the country should think seriously of the harm they may do the race should they fail support the President: He has not on honored the race by making some good appointments, such as those of Willia H. Lewis to be an assistant Attorney General of the United States, W. Clarence Matthews to succeed Mr. Lewis an assistant United States District Attorney for Massachusetts, and Charles A. Cotterill as collector of Customs at Honolulu, but leading colored men have been able to reach him as they have no President. "The Republican party has given all of the civic and political rights tha we now enjoy, and there does not see the slightest sign that we may hope not to expect more from any other party. Disfranchisement, separate cars and other race prospective measures has not been the work of the Republic party, and, in fact, the maintenance of militant organization by that party has prevented our enemies from further proscriptions against us. Colored men have been highly honored by the party, and in States where the Republics are dominant our political and civil rights are not legislated against. "There are many of us who do not fail to note some of the shortcomings of the party of our choice, but better conditions for the race can be best secured by contending manfully within the ranks of the party. My advice to the race support Mr. Taft for re-election for this is our strongest hope for maintaini those political rights that we now enjoy." Major Wright was lavish in his prai of the 58 colored men who stood loya for Mr. Taft at the Chicago Conventi refusing to desert him when others tri through various methods to make the violate their instructions. The Maj arled at the White House while Washington last Friday and assured the support of the loik of the colored voe the country. He is now in Boston tending the meeting of the board trustees of Atlanta University, of whi institution he is both an alumnus and trustee. YOUR NEW YEAR AND TERMARY JULY & AUG. "The Rev.

A., was held yesterday at the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, and was largely attended. Secretary R. M. Meroney gave in full the report for the fiscal year ending March 31. The branch closed its books after all obligations had been met with a balance of $10.36. The receipts for the year were over two thousand dollars. The membership is 312 and is steadily growing. There is a meeting at the branch every Sunday for men, and the average attendance at these meetings is 49. Among other things Mr. Meroney said: "The branch is headquarters for fifty boy scouts, the Equal Suffrage League, and the Ministerial Union. If ever there was an imperative need for anything in Brooklyn, it is a social centre for the young colored men of Brooklyn. The facilities for an up-to-date institution are so meagre that it handicaps the growth and development, but with such equipment as we have at hand we have done our best to interest and hold the young men. "We have a reading room with twenty-five newspapers and other periodicals, etc., and the chief aim of the management is to give to the place an atmosphere of cheer and friendliness. There must be some way of laying hands on the vast number of our young boys who are running wild on our streets. A gymnasium, swimming pool, up-to-date poolroom, etc., would greatly add to the development of the branch." JER$EY CITY. N. J The Social Relief Club of Jersey City, organized by Mrs. Flora Fowler for the purpose of assisting sick and disabled friends, gave a most successful lawn party on last Friday evening at 95 Ege avenue for a sick neighbor. $25 was raised.

GILBERT, at 147 Post 125th St. T he continued discriminations against the colored public porters around the Grand Central Station and the alleged favoritism of politemen toward white porters have raised much unfavorable comment among the 150 colored men who earn their living as public porters. Nearly two months ago, James Jones, of 412 W. 39th street, entered complaint against Patrolman Shaughnessy for alleged assault, but Magistrate Trowel, before whom the complaint was heard, dismissed the case. Mr. Jones then took the matter to Inspector Hayea, who promised to investigate the alleged assault, but so far he has not heard any more concerning his complaint. A few weeks ago James Dobson was fined $10 and had his license revoked for alleged trespass on the property of the New York Central while attending to his business as a porter, and his friends allure that he was unfairly dealt with. The colored porters, like the whites, receive their licenses from the Mayor's marshal, and are permitted to handle baggage and show visitors around the city. Notwithstanding this, they say that they are discriminated against, and assert that James Dobson, who was fined $10 and also busted his license, was assaulted by Robert Brooks, a white man who tried to bribe him at Dobson's jobs, while it is said, a policeman looked approvingly on. The porters to better protect their interests are planning, it is said, to organize themselves into a union. LEAGUE IN. SESSION. National Independent Political League Holding Annual Session.

MOB WRATHERS AND THE RACE MOVEMENT NORTH. The Georgia mob wrathers, who have become infamous for lynching and burning Negro victims, whether guilty or innocent of offenses alleged, appear to halt at burning Negro women, whom they, for one cause and another, determine to lynch. It is a manifestation of a phase of chivalry, of discrimination on account of sex, so to speak, we had not expected and are unable to account for. Perhaps the Atlanta Constitution could explain the psychological phenomenon without betraying confidence. A news dispatch gives the following version of the latest Georgia lynching horror: Atlanta, Ga., June 25. Ann Boston, the Negro woman who stabbed and killed Mrs. E. K. Jordan, wife of a prominent planter at Fitzfirth, Ga., yesterday afternoon, and who was later taken from officers at Cordale by a mob, was lynched early the morning, according to a telephone message to a local newspaper. After, taking the woman from the officers, members of the man put her in an automobile and set out Dumont, following the recording in the message, the woman was hanged on a tree. Details of the lynching are lacking. It is known, however, that the woman was hanged by a small crowd, which followed the sheriff in automobiles after he had thwarted them at the scene of the murder. Mrs. Jordan, the victim of the caruged ingress, was attacked when she had complained of the woman's work around the house. The black attached her with a knife, she her woman's limbs in the throat. A mob formed, but the sheriff outwitted it and took her away. They were followed, and the officer was overpowered and his captive taken from him. Now, the provocation which Mrs. Ann Boston had to butcher Mrs. R. E. Jordan is not given, the mere complaining of the woman's work not being sufficient on the face of it, and, as in most such cases, we are not likely to get the facts. Whatever the provocation, except in a clear case of self-defense, Mrs. Boston had no justification for butchering Mrs. Jordan. That is the law. In the case of the mob wrathers there is no law at all that applies to their crime and no justification, except in a diseased public opinion, which spurs "due process of law" for the black man and will before the end of it spurn "due process of law" for the white man. That is plain enough to those who are wise enough to know that as they sow so must they reap. It is easy enough to account for the enormous and steady increase in the Negro population of New York, and the other large cities of the North and West, by the terrors of mob wrather public sentiment of the Southern States, together with the oppressive body of class legislation which the Southern States have built upon the slave code, all of which so far places the Negro citizens of those States outside the protection of the laws and of public opinion as to leave them defenseless in their lives, liberties and property. The growth and enlargement of such a horrible condition is bound to encourage a larger and larger volume of Negro emigration from the Southern States into the States of the North and West, so that in the long run there will be a wider distribution of the Negro population among all of the States than would otherwise be possible. The large and steady immigration of foreigners into the South, their invasion into all lines of industrial occupation, and their ready and steady incorporation into the body and sentiment of the white citizenship, all works for the steady movement of the blacks away from the States of their forefathers to the States of strangers. There is much that is pathetic, tragical, in a condition which compels large masses of people to leave the scenes of their childhood and the childhood of their forefathers to start life amew in strange scenes and among strangers, often with no money and with new and untried industrial conditions confronting them. The foreign sections at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Chicago are no more important centers of necessary sociological study and philanthropic work than the Negro quarters in the same cities are becoming. This fact is being recognized, and the study and the work are growing upon it, thought, the time and the means of straits, and philanthropists. It is a crime national in character a responsibility that the Southern States should have been left to work out the Negro problem outside Federal constitutional guarantees and national public opinion, so that the burning of a man, the lynching of a woman, has ceased to provoke an editorial or sermonic protest, except in isolated instances. Left outside of Federal and State protection and at the mercy of mob wrather public opinion there is a very large element of the Southern Negroes who will steadily move towards the North and West, not always the most desirable, but those who, like our European immigrants, are dragged so low by their surroundings that they move away lest their children should live and die the death as they have had to live and die it. It is a fearful arraignment of the nation, however, that such a condition can obtain without a protest that is heard and felt. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION IN CONVENTION. The National Republican Committee, at Chicago, voted down the old proposition to reduce the representation of the Southern States in the convention. The Philadelphia Tribune discusses the proposition from the following viewpoint: "It should be remembered that it is not the fault of the colored vote that the Republicans have lost the political control of the South. The loyal colored Republican voter is still there, but he has been left naked to his enemies. The milk and water attitude of white Republicans their warrant desire to impress upon the minds of white people of the South that, as far as they are concerned, colored men in that region shall receive no political or moral support from Northern Republicans; coupled with a doctrine subscribed to by white men of both the North and the South; that Congress erred when it sought, to oblige the blacks to fight the rightful belongs to the States to say who shall and who shall not enjoy the right of suffrage. The steady growth of such questions and the ready acquiescence of Northern Republicans thereto opened the way for white Democrats of the South to pass disfranchisement laws, which make the Amendments to the Constitution null and void." The sentiment is becoming insistent, however, that the Southern Republicans, who maintain no party organization in the full sense of the term, and who from year to year placed no State nor Congressional candidates in nomination, and who maintain such organizations as are necessary only to secure Federal appointments, occupy a disproportionate influence in Republican conventions in nominating candidates that the Republicans of the other States must be depended upon to elect. THE AGE is of the opinion that the Southern Republicans should be compelled to sustain more than State committees and National Committeemen to justify the influence they exert in the party councils, the consideration they receive in appointments to office, and the trouble they give themselves and the party. For example, Northern and Western Republicans complain that while the total Republican vote for President Taft, in the election of 1908, in the three States of Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, was 17,284, the three States had 53 delegates in Chicago, or one delegate for each 298 voters, while Illinois, with 58 delegates in the convention, gave President Taft, in 1908, 629,932 Republican votes, or one delegate for every 10,801 votes. The other Southern States, subjected to the same test, give like result. Their 200 votes in National conventions are decisive in naming the party candidates, but they do not furnish any votes to elect the candidates in the Electoral College, the electoral votes of no Southern States being sure for the Republican ticket. And after election the Southern Republicans claim their share of the offices in and out of their States which they did nothing towards making possible by their voting. This has been true since 1876. The situation is a very serious one for Southern Republicans and for the National Republican party. --- HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF RACE. PREJUDICE. One of the most informing papers read at the Tuskegee International Conference on the Negro, as published in The Southern Workman for June, was that on "Education and Racial Traits" by Mr. William L. Thomas, professor of sociology in the University of Chicago. Prof. Thomas takes po stock in race superiority or inherent intelligence as an inheritance. The children of every race have to be taught all that their fathers knew, and any break in the education from site to son starts the child back from the highest to the lowest point of cultural education and retinement. That is to say, education and culture are not transmissible, as an inheritance, from the father to the son. These are locked up in the son, and require the same long cultural process to unlock them as was required in the case of the father. The same theory holds in the environment and social status. These must be continued unbroken from least to greatest is reasonably certain. Talking about handshakes to individual success or misuse, Post Thomas says. It may naturally occur to some of you that race prejudice is the most serious and oppressive form of isolation and cause of mental backwardness in the case of the I have been in a museum with a man who has little light of genius. All the time when I do not record it as a presumably serious matter. It is something you can get by it may even be a stimulation. Compared with slavery or serfdom, it is trivial. I am now making some studies among the Black presents of Europe, for the account was and is mentally as backward as the Negro is or as he was in slavery. I have found even more backward cases. But my main reason for speaking lightly of prejudice does not necessarily isolate it. One of the treatments who excited your interest here yesterday by his mental police and the nimbleness of his wife confessed that he had studied in some of the most important centers of learning in the world. The point worth emphasizing is that race prejudice as "the most serious and oppressive form of isolation," need not be a drawback but may be made a "stimulation" to mental, physical and material development and growth. The imitator of anything is not the originator of the thing, and that which may be good for the originator of it may be destructive for the originator of it. Mr. F. G. Peck, in the same number of the Workman, talking about "Conservation for the Indians," says that the difference between the Negro and Indian is that the Indian has retained his mental attitudes, his social isolation and his manhood independence, refusing to relinquish his own for those of the white man, and is the stronger for doing so; while "the unenviable present social position of the Negro masses is undeniably partly due to the way in which they have faithfully allowed their native originality to become annihilated. * * * Surely the experiment in mild submission has not proved an advantage to the Negro, so far as his social rank is concerned," while in the same issue, talking about "Education Among the Bantu of Southeast Africa." Mr. Maurice S. Evans of the African Society of London, takes the same view of the matter as Mr. Peck does. He says: It seems to me that in breaking down this life we, the Europeans of South Africa, are placed in a position of responsibility we must wholeheartedly accept. To leave the native subject to the corrupting influences of our civilization in his present prepared state, it is to leave the door open to disaster for him and for us. And if for other reason than to act as accountable for this destructive process now going on, it is imperative that some influence for good should be brought to bear upon him. To go back to the old life is impossible, then is full of danger to a race so unprepared for change; the Europeans of South Africa need to be prepared and it our palpable duty to take steps to minimize or remove the danger and give the native guidance and opportunity for a higher and better life. And I must confess, the only method I can see is education in its broadest sense, which includes moral and religious instruction. It is problematical, however, if the broadest English education will ever make out of the Bantu as good and strong a people as would have cultural education of him along Bantu lines. He was a simple pastoral people, and education along his lines of thought and habits and tribal institutions would have made him a strong African Bantu and not a weak English Bantu, thinking in Bantu and talking and working in English, as many American Negroes do even now, some centuries removed from their African habitat, language and religion. Far from allowing race prejudice and segregation to affect them disastrously, American Negroes should make them serve as opportunity for more natural culture of the native genius and virtues, with the advantage of adopting so much of the white man's genius and virtues as are lacking in their own. We have foreign colonies in every section of the country that are doing this, and Negro communities have made a good beginning in doing so, and should be encouraged to do so. THE ROLL OF HONOR Out of the heat and tumult of the Chicago Convention, where giants grappled for authority from the accredited representatives of more than half of the qualified voters of the country to name the standard bearers of the Republican party in the pending contest to decide which party shall rule the nation for the next four years, after March 4, the staff correspondent of THE ACE wrote the following, which appeared in THE ACE of last week, and which we reproduce here to emphasize the fact that the American Negro has opened a new page in his citizenship: The heroes of the National Republican convention at Chicago are the fifty eight Negroes who voted as instructed by their constituents and who refused to betray their trust despite numerous efforts to buy them. It can be said on good authority that nearly half a million dollars would have been paid these colored delegates had they disbelieved their instructions and doped to the other side. To thousands throughout the country, the respect of race or politics, and who are not carried away by such blind partnership as to argue that it would have been lost and honorable to have sold out or hoped for monetary considerations, the fifty eight Negroes who refused to be swerved from their path of duty are looked upon as the heroes of the convention. Negroes prey on the Negroes of this convention, preying on their hands with their hands out for baggage to be compelled to eat such libations talk and eat that for high character and integrity the delegates stand out in mild relief and reflected much discreetly in an white delegates. In the convention hall, hotels and on the streets, the colored delegates who refused to digite themselves, their race and their party were commended for standing pat and hosting their instructions. Even the delegates voting for the nomi global administration and the United Nations peacekeeping policy in the middle of the deployment of Negroes to office, and hence voting included that the policy of his. This relative to the appointment of Negroes to office in the South be changed. Important conferences with the National Committee from the Southern States and others in control were held, and they agreed to join forces with the Negroes to blot out "Idly Whiteism" and advocate a square deal for colored voters in all sections of the country. This Roll of Honor was made up under circumstances among the most extraordinary in American history. The eyes of the nation were fixed upon the sixty-six Negro delegates from the Southern States; thousands of daily newspapers were proclaiming each day that the Negroes would go to the highest bidder for votes; purchase money of large denomination was in ready reach of each delegate minded to barter his honor and the character of the Negro race. But from the first test vote to the last test vote the Negro delegates stood firmly and voted from first to last as their States had instructed then for William Howard Taft. "Tell it aloud in Gath! Publish it broadcast in the streets of Ascleon!" The Roll of Honor will stand, and will rise up in all future conventions to confound the Negro delegate who would sell his vote for money and the character of his race for a price. SECOND ELECTION OF PRESI DENT LINCOLN. The present upheaval in Republican politics need not frighten True Blue Republicans, who believe in the glorious achievements of the party in the past fifty years, and in its ability to achieve great results in the future, because the party was born out of political upheavals, and because it is thoroughly capable of reforming party abuses and mistaken policies by the wisdom and strength within the party. It is not a body, like the Democratic party, without saving grace within itself, dying while it lives; it lives because of its good works that constantly renew its life. In the second election of the Republican party in 1860, Mr. Lincoln was opposed for the nomination by most of the leading men of the party, including Thurlow Weed, Horace Greeley and William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, and others; but his popularity with the rank and file, due to his joint debate with Stephen A. Douglas on the slavery question and his famous Cooper Union address, in New York, gave him the advantage before the convention, and he was nominated. If the Democrats had not split into two factions and nominated two Presidential tickets, one led by Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and Hegesche V. Johnson of Georgia and the other by John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky and Joseph Lane of Oregon, Mr. Lincoln would not have been elected, as he received 1860,352 popular votes to 271,953 cast for Douglas, Breckenridge and Bell, and 180 electoral votes to 123 for the three other candidates, 77 votes over all in the Electoral College. Frederic J. Haskins, writing about National Convention, says: The nomination of Abraham Lincoln was not accomplished without difficulty, and as Lincoln himself said at the time, "It is one thing to nominate and another to elect." The nomination of General George B. McClellan as the Democratic candidate against Lincoln in 1864 was made without difficulty, but the same convention that nominated him destroyed his chances of election by adopting a platform that declared in effect, that he was a fair candidate for nomination, and that he didn't think it was good policy to swap horses in the middle of a stream. He was opposed openly or secretly by nearly every leader of prominence in the Republican party, Seward, Chase and Stanton, whom he had honored above all men, despipped him for his humble origin and his bipolished manner; Greyley and Summer were furthers with him because he permitted the war to be fought by soldiers and not from editorial trips and literary books. Stevens and Wade had litmus because he would not aid them in their purpose utterly to destroy the people of the United States, and Wendell Phillips and the other Abolitionists believed him a traitor because he did not at once estimate slavery. There were few leaders for Lincoln, but the plain people he loved so well were for him, and the politicians could not prevail against him. And, it must be said, that Lincoln himself was something of a politician. It was in large measure because Mr. Lincoln was something of a politician that he was nominated at the Baltimore Convention by 497 votes to 22 for General Grant, who was not a candidate. The ultra-radical Republicans, who were dissatisfied with Mr. Lincoln and his conduct of the war and treatment of the slavery question, had already called a convention at Cleveland and nominated John C. Freemont (the first Republican candidate in 1850) and John Cochrane, but this ticket cut no figure in the election. The Democrats met at Chicago and nominated George B. McClellan of New Jersey and George H. Pendleton of Ohio. The election was hard fought and close, but Mr. Lincoln won because the Democratic platform declared the war a tatler and because the masses of the people faith in Mr. Lincoln and in the Republican party, and had none in them McClellan and the Democratic party. The party and the general had before been discredited and discarded by the nation but they refused to be convinced of the fact, long after all doubt it had been removed by based on the political confidence of the party, and the party and its leadership day still believe they are not discredited. This is a time of political confusion in all parties, as it was in 1860 and 1864, but there is nothing in the situation to show that the Republican party has lost its hold upon the popular confidence of the nation, or in the national leadership of the party, with William Howard Taft and James Schoolcraft Sherman for standard bearers, or that it will turn from these faithful and tried statesmen in the November elections to the warring Democratic party and its incompetent and discredited policies and leadership. RYAN AND BRYAN The National Democratic Convention opened in Baltimore Tuesday of last week and at midnight of Saturday when it adjourned over to Monday, we deadlocked on the nomination of a candidate for President, the convention strength being divided between three Southern men—Clark of Missouri, Wilson of New Jersey, born in Virginia and Underwood of Alabama. The fight in the convention began with the drop of the chairman's gavel, between William Jennings Bryan and everybody else and while the proceedings of the Chicago Convention were all that could be desired in the way of "something doing" every minute, the proceedings of the Baltimore Convention were ever more desirable in the way of "something doing" every second. Mr. Bryan was enabled to have it over Col. Roosevelt in "something doing" because he was a delegate on the convention floor with "the eye of the convention on him," if so he was not the convention, while Col. Roosevelt was not a delegate in the Chicago Convention. If he had been a delegate the imagination refuses to imagine what would have happened. Mr. Bryan's aversion in the Baltimore Convention was Thomas Fortune Ryan of New York, who votes in Virginia. Mr. Ryan is a capitalist and a friend of the money lords and interests and has for allly the Hon. Charles Francis Murphy, who voted New York's ninety votes early and often against Mr. Bryan and all that Mr. Bryan proposed. Mr. Murphy, who is abominated by certain people who consider Tammany Hall as a stench in politics, must be a very superior man, as he allowed Mr. Bryan to assail him and his ninety votes on every proposition presented to the convention in the coarsest, most brutal and vulgar characterization and invective without losing his temper or his smile or his opportunity to vote his ninety votes against Mr. Bryan and all Bryan proposals. Not once did he reply to the Nebraska rulman; he just smiled and voted ninety votes against him. In any well-regulated convention Mr. Bryan would not have been allowed to occupy one third the time in debate and personal explanation that he did, and he would have been called to account in no uncertain manner for his vulgar, coarse, brutal personal abuse of Mr. Murphy as the leader of Tammany Hall and of Mr. Thomas Fortune Ryan as a representative of the moneyed interests of the country. Cheap denunciation of money power and of money has come to be the chief stock in trade of desperate politicians who want power and are willing to grovel in the slums of citizenship to secure it. It looks, however, as if Mr. Bryan, one of the chief grovelers, has got to the end of his rope. The Democratic party no longer trusts and follows him as it has done for sixteen years past EDITORIAL NOTES The July days will be far advanced before the political situation will so far be sobered that the warring parties and factions will get their bearings and begin to head their candidates toward the November ballot boxes. The situation is more disturbed than at any time since the civil war. . There were plenty of Negro delegates in the Republican convention at Chicago, but many a Negro Democrat in the Democratic convention at Baltimore, as far as we have seen. Straws show which way the winds blow. And yet there are plenty of Negroes in the late 19th century who imagined without control so like a runaway engine, it is a very dangerous possession. + The Hon. Timothy Woodruff of Kings County, the most picturesque statesman in Republican politics, rivals in sartorial splendor his Democratic antitype. Col. J. Ham Lewis of Cook County, Illinois, has bidden a long farewell to Republican politics; he has broken with the old party and will seek new party alliances. The Republicans were good to you. Timothy --- A campaign cartoon presented William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska dressed in sombre black, and Senator James K. Vanderbilt of Mississippi dressed in glaring white from hat to shoes, standing side by side at Baltimore, and looking as much glike in every way as Darnon and Pythias, with great tidy bodies and saturnine faces (typifying in the man) the degenerate corruption, and uselessness of Col. Bryan is the better man of the day. Col. Bryan is between two degrees, as needed or desired. The Democrat hats high old time at Baltimore in pet form the organization of their contests. Col. Bryan gets his teeth agnashing a selection of Judge Alton B. Farr of New York sided by us to be the one that demonstrated that the Presidential nominations should be made before the platform should be adopted, and won the point. There was so much diversion and hot blood in the convention that nobody wanted to be between chairman. Senator Olio James of Kennewick seemed into taking it. The Democratic convention was split wide open between the Stand Pats and Progressists. The Sultan of Morocco, Mulai Haif, hopes soon to shake off the yoke of the European Protectorate and re-establish his independence as the shearof his storm. It is a big hope, and can be accomplished only by a conquest by the Islamic Crescent of the Christian Cross. The Sultan is a poet, a dreamer, and has an enormous idea of his personal size, so to speak. He was once a camel driver; now he is a Sultan. He says, with his gaze fixed on the stars "From the height to which Fate has borne me, I see naught but human heads serially bowed. So high am I placed that my hand outstretched could not encounter, any other hand, any friendly hand." The Crescent had better leave the Cross alone, for the present, at any rate. The now Republic of China, which we all wish may live long and prosper, is having a hard time of it to bring order out of the confusion imposed upon the country by centuries of Manchu misrule and tyranny, but it is making progress, and the government is serving the people. The service is a survival sum of $300,000,000 from a syndicate of bankers of the six European powers. The money lenders want to control China, practically, as one of the considerations for making the loan. The money lenders of all ages are of the Shylock character created by the British, with states and nations, they make the necessities of others the excuse of robbing them of all they have on the pretence of serving them. The veteran Democratic Philadelphia Record says "the real issue is the issue of Democracy against Republicanism. The enemy is not a part of the Democratic party, but the whole of the Republican party." That is clean cut, but it does not define a Democrat or Democratic principles. The Democrat party is not that of Judson Harmon; that of Simon E. Baldwin is not that of Benjamin Ryan Tillman; that of Charles E. Murphy is not that of Hoke Smith; that of Samuel Foss is not that of Jeff Davis, and that of Thomas Tagert is not that of James K. Vardaman. Put these men in a room as a committee on platform and the floor would drop under them before they could manipulate their followers in the four sections of the country could stand. The Democratic party is a local disease without national sympathy and cohesion. Col. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, after forty years advocacy of it as a Democratic war horse, declares that a "tariff for revenue" is still the one living issue in American politics. Yes; the running issue which cannot keep up with the increased expenditures of the Government. Inhabit of ridgling taxation to meet the needed running expenses of the Congress, makes the fugged projects upon which to spend the public revenues, makes it necessary every year to increase taxation. Col. Watterson is in the main right, but the prevailing system of expenditure to meet the revenues and not the revenues to meet the expenditures of the Government the tariff or any other taxation. Reform in the system of expenditures must be made before reform in the system of taxation can be made. "These are great days to be alive!" exclaims the Kansas City Daily Times in rhapsodizing the virtues of the third party of the Red Bandana. Yes "these are great days to be alive." The high cost of living, the deadly struggle between capital and labor, the lynchings and burnings of black persons, the activities of the dear suffragettes, and the dense confusion which pestered the political situation, as the rumblings of the Chicago and Baltimore convened in 1882, as the days we live in touch with the great we have lived in. It takes a fine lot of nerves to stand the rocket without going to smash. The failure of the Democratic House of Representatives to pass the great appropriation bills threatens to paralyze the business of the Federal Government throughout the country after the government cannot spend money not appropriated to run the Government. During the past week, when he was most needed in Washington, Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, was in Baltimore helping the Democratic convention to elect a candidate for Presidency. The capitol of the Democratic party to do the wrong thing at the right time sticks to it as a shirt of Negus. NOTE AND COMMENT We can't all raise white potatoes, but most of us can and do eat them. It is interesting to know that the Americana Negroes have a "Potato King" to their own, and a real good looking one. His name is J. G. Groves, and he lives at Edwardsville, Kan. He has 15,000 bushels a year. We have to end, too, that it is easier to buy potato, does at so much per than to raise to it. It is easier to buy anything, if you have the price, than to --- To cure the most complete development one must live in one's time and yet live above it," says Dr. Hamilton W. Mabie of The Outlook. The main lives on a level with his own times, in a thorough mastery of the history of philosophy of the past for guides, all accomplish more, and there is complete development, then it man who lives above his times, much like the public speak, his life beyond the reach and under the reach and under the reach as compared to one who simply lives a good with his hearts and tells from the duttyography of everyday life in pleasure, in simple phrases. "We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart: We may live without friends, we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. The good housewife who practices the French maxim, that "the best way to reach a man's pocketbook is through his stomach." will come nearer to having a home when she needs it than the one who practices the "I don't care what he eats—let him get it himself—maxim. The efforts of the Department of Health of New York City to protect people, the consumers, from stale, impure and decayed food products, is disclosed in the report of the Food Inspection Department. Since May 1 the inspectors have condemned 3,150,000 pounds of fruit and 6,000,000 pounds of vegetables. The total amount of food condemned during the year 1911 was 14,000,000 pounds. If it were not for the vigilance of the food inspectors wholesale and retail dealers and pushcart vendors alike would sell impure stuff to unsuspecting purchasers and congratulate themselves upon their business sharpness, city certificates of the quality of the condition of by impure foodstuffs. The business morality of the great cities of the nation is at a very low ebb, when the main thing aimed at by salesmen is the largest possible profit upon the smallest possible capital, and this is true of big as well as of small business. Indeed, the big swindlers are in contempt with the whole nation. The man without a country, like the wandering Jew, is always an object of mystery and often of suspicion; so, a man without a race, like a race without a name, is difficult to understand and is always, more or less, tangled up with itself. The African and blends of Africans are in that unfortunate position everywhere. As man and as race, unlike other men, do what they are or what they desire to be known as, "Call me this" or "Call me that," is the way they would have it, but seldom as the thing they are. For instance, the Emancipation Proclamation Commission of Pennsylvania, of which the Uton, Henry W. Bass is the central figure, has just issued an address "To the People of Color of the State of Pennsylvania." This is vague enough to cover a host of Pennsylvania. In fact, Indian unkinned, Huns, Polakis, Japa, Chinese, and others who have a strain of Ethiopian blood in them not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation not affected by the War Amendments. This efforts of Dr. Brooks of St. Mark's Church, New York, to persuade the women from wearing big hats during church services should not only succeed, but should be enforced by every church and other public assemblage in the country. The big hats the women wear on the public thorughfaces, and in public places are not only hideous deformities for women but a positive nuisance and hardship to men, who have to pay for and then sit behind them in public places, when from front to back they are women. Women's hats are, should be compiled to respect the rights of others, when they outrage them, as in the big business, but few women care to make them do it. The average women thinks the average man is afraid of her, anyhow. Is he? Speaking appreciatively of the appointment of Rev. Henry L. Phillips, D.D., as Archdeacon for Church Extension among the Negro race in Pennsylvania, the Baltimore Afro-American Lodge says: "Under the Bishop of the diocese, he is to have charge of all the missionary endeavor, in the way of church extension, among the colored race. In all parts of the country, especially in the North and West, Episcopal church is rapid, erased and the missionary endeavor is one of the chief causes of this new impulse is to be accounted for by the influence of the Episcopal Methodism, and the influence of African Methodism upon the Episcopal Church. The city of Philadelphia gave birth both to organized Episcopal work among the Negroes. Negroes who were originally Methodists furnished the nucleus for both organizations, Consequently, Bishop White, Benjamin Franklin, and other eminent white Episcopal institutions established a peculiarly helpful relation not only with the Negroes, but likewise towards African Methodists, materially helping them in their early struggles. And it has been thus all along. All intelligent African Methodists have the most kindly feeling toward the church they appreciantly call the "mother church." The Negroes of Washington and the District of Columbia of the old settlers before the war, acquired much and valuable real estate when land values were cheap, but which has appreciated greatly with the years and the marvelous improvements that have made Washington one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Much of this property has been chased or their immediate heirs to get away from them, but much of it was "kept in the family, and is now held by the heirs. A very great volume has also been secured by "newcomers" since the war. The Washington tree chronicles the passing of block 300 in S street to the ownership of Negroes. For a great many years Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congressional Library was the only Negro proprietor of the town purchased the adjoining property and the exodus of whites began. The lie says: "Among the newest colonists" in this 300" block of S street are Prof. and Mrs. L. R. Moore, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Tigor, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Francis, Jr. and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. George Henry Murray, and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jones. It is glorious that that Mr. Hunton and Dr. John R. Hall have purchased property in the square, and will join the solder." The block is facetedly styled the new colored "millionaire's row, a title first bestowed upon the 1800 square of Eleventh street." Have you ever seriously considered girls, that life is just what you make it? That everything, no matter what, all depends upon you, and the faith you have in yourself to accomplish? So many of us believe in "luck" and that this mysterious something can influence us either to success, or failure. They neglect to take in account that so-called "good luck" simply means common sense, good management, carefulness and hard work, and "bad luck" the luck of some one or other of these essential traits. We race we have reached the place where we must create opportunities, and not wait for luck—in other words, another race, to open door for us. To whine and complain that you can't get what you want to do is to do nothing. The world is too busy to listen to complainers. Remember, some of the greatest men of the country were as poor as church mice, with every chance in life apparently against them, but they won out by perseverance and hard work, and not by fault finding and complaining. Tenacity of purpose and competency are two absolute requisites in the race for success. Most of our professional men in New York are to-day employing white office help because they say they are unable to get competent colored girls; and competency in this instance means not only good work, but suitable dress and manners and a "close mouth." No matter how good a clerk may be, if she is not conscientious in her work, does not dress suitably, or talk too much in the office and out of it, she can't expect to hold a position, and its loss won't lie at the door of bad luck, but her own impatience or lack of good judgment. Another trait which seriously handicaps us is that we get tired too quickly. We haven't the patience to plod like our white sister, but we want to accomplish in a day what they take months to get, and therein lies one of the sources of their strength. Remember, girls, "anything in this world worth having is worth working for, and it rests with you to make your luck—good or bad. TEACHERS HOLD CONFERENCE Mississippi Association of Teachers in Industrial School. Meet at Okolona in Industrial School. Special to THE AGR. Okolona, Miss, June 30 - A group of earnest, hard-working, race-loving men and women of the Nero race, styling themselves the Mississippi Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, met the Okolona Industrial School, located in sixth annual season. What the gathering locked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm and in the point of earnestness with which they went about their duties. There is a set of men on earth who should be well-night disguise it is the average Negro school teacher in the South. One is apt to get used to thinking that the lot of the Negro school president is an easy one, as that of a man who has nothing to do but raise money: but now, partly because of a mistaken idea that the Negro school president is that it is high time he was beginning to paddle his own canoe, that man's job is by no means a sleisure. Then, too, unscrubulous agents have been going North with such frequency, taking toll of the charitably disposed with the path of the honest educator is, to say the least, an uncomfortable one to travel. To all this add the inequality of school facilities in the average Southern States; add the anxiety that is occasioned by the carnest Negro school teacher when he knows that he must have results with unequal working conditions in the average heartened material, and the task of the public school official among the Negroes in Mississippi, for example, in before you. For example, in his annual address before the Mississippi Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, President J. A. Marsh, in a well-reputed position, now serving as president of the State school for Negroes, Alcorn College, called attention in a vigorous manner to the inequality of pay, and consequently to the inequality of service rendered. It is only to expect good Negro teachers an average salary of $1 per month, as many of these people have to do. Very Little Money Expended on Public Schools. Your correspondent has in mind a city in Mississippi where the principal of the white school receives $20 per month more for his services than all others in the colored school combined. All of the students are compled to use for their educational home the condemned schoolhouse abandoned by the whites. In the same county a former superintendent advertised as very good reasons for his re-entry. The fact that he had decided Negro schoolhouse had increased white salaries to a maximum; and that during his term of office not a single Negro school had been erected. Addressing themselves seriously to the matter of inequal school facilities, the principal of the Mississippi Association has summoned some of money ranging from $6 to $20 to furnish an organizer for the various county associations, who in turn will send representatives to the annual association, hoping thereby to permit plans for the betterment of the Negro schools with or without Natl. This does not mean by any means that these Negro teachers acquiesce in the policy of discrimination in Native educational matters that is practiced disgracefully by the school authorities and sanctioned, for the most part, by people themselves. They are determined to bear the State authorities in any manner deny them proper educational advantages that will see to it that their children are equipped with proper school facilities to the extent of going into their own pockets for it. In the statement they have kept out to the public they make a strong appeal to the county superintendents and the state department for financial provisions for Negro schools, for every inch larger salary WEST BIRD STREET A filling hammer for his cleanliness; a dining room celebrated for the service.

CONFERENCE WORKERS MEET. CONFERENCE WORKERS MEET. The regular monthly meeting of the Conference of Workers Among Girls and the Conference of Workers Among Boys was held yesterday afternoon at the Riverside Orphan Asylum, on the Hudson, and was largely attended. Promptly at 4:30 o'clock the respective conferences were called to order, the Rev. F. A. Cullen presiding over the boys' conference and Mrs. M. C. Lawton over the girls. At the close of the meeting the guests were taken by the management through the building, which is one of the most splendidly equipped institutions in the State of New York. There are at present in the orphanage 178 boys and 117 girls, making a total of 205. Of this number 54 are full orphans, 169 half orphans, 40 having parents living, and 12 unknown. The cottages, which are immaculate, are occupied by a certain number of children with a matron, who assumes the position of mother. A well-stocked dispensary, a sun parlor, a light and airy nursery, swings, play room and everything necessary to an excellent home is found there. The children are kept looking spic and span and are as they spice the days are long. Their instructors are white, are devoted to the children and the children are fond of them. Miss C. M. Wood, first directress, is a model of womanly sweetness, and no part of the work is without her personal supervision and the superintendent, is a man possessed of ability in his duties. He is kind and gentle and the children all love him. In a brief talk last evening he told of the institution and of its further developments along all lines. At 6 o'clock supper was served in the dining room, and at 7:45 the conferences reassembled in the chapel, where they were highly entertained by the children of the asylum. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, gave an interesting talk concerning his work. Among those present were: Eugene Kinckle Jones, Prof. G. E. Haynes, the Rev. F. A. Cullen, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, Miss Eva Burleigh, Mrs. M. J. Stuart, Mrs. Alice Wiley-Scay, Mrs. Florence Randolph, Dr. and Mrs. A. S. Reed, Mrs. Susie Wilkerson, Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. McCall, Miss Frances Chase, Mrs. Peter Harrison, Miss Grace Campbell, Mrs. R. P. Hamlin, Miss Anna Jones and Dr. P. A. Johnson. CELLEBRATE EMANCIPATION. Special to THE ACK. Denison, Tex. June 26.—The two day celebration in honor of their emancipation, held by the Nexroes of Denison under the auspices of the financial institution, was concluded last Thursday evening when the decision of the judges in the oratorical contest was announced. The weather was ideal for the picnic and day large crowds filled Forest Park. The announcement on the first day that the barbecue had been abandoned brought disappointment to many, but the industrial exhibit and oratorical contest seemed to more than repay the large number of spectators, and the educational features of the association seemed to meet with popular approval among the public, colored peo- In the oratorical contest, the judges of which were Drs.

The prize, $25 in gold, was divided between the speakers after they had agreed to return on July 11 and again speak under the auspices of the association.

Dr. Robert Tolliver is pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Boly, and Prof. Warren E. Gleen founder of the Oklahoma's Tuskegee to be re-elected at Crekola, Okla. The last speaker was Col. Wm. Vaughn, prominent white socialist, and at one time a large slave holder. Fully a third of the audience was composed of white citizens. The two speakers were Dr. W. E. Gleen, the Rev. M. J. Johnson, Dallas; Dr. J. M. Mosley, Fort Worth, and H. S. Davis, Denison. Many Attractions at Teachers' Convention. Chattanooga, Tenn.

READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS Gentlemen: I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me. For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

"Junetime is Progtime." Junetime is also "Progtime!" for everyone seems to trook in June. The reporters frolicked, gun frolicked and I frolicked, and at June 27th arrived, and then we all frolicked at the read and original "Frolic of the Frogs." Beautiful Thursday night—beautiful Manhattan Casino—beautiful girls plenty—and beautiful music by the New Amsterdam Orchestra under the direction of E. E. Thompson; what more could a fellow desire? There were Frogs to the right of us — Frogs to the left of us—and a tadpole (Edgar Conners) in the front of us. Standing in the doorway with his arms filled with flags, his face wreathed in a big effervescent smile, Edgar delivered a pennant to each lady as she passed in—and was immediately adored by each gentleman whom his wife knew that everybody got a pennant. After the fifth seizure little Edgar started in to hum "Everybody's Doing it." Scattered through the crowd were the Frogs. Some wore full dress, some tuxedos, some summer suits—and one Sad Soul, Will H. Dixon, was dressed in black, evidently mourning the absence of his wife, who is still in Chicago. Frog Matt Marshall, in full regalia, strutted about all night and could not be persuaded to sit long enough to take a drink (he took his standing). Ex-President Frog Bert Williams constituted himself chairman of the Dew Committee; he spent most of his spare time providing liquid within which the Frogs splashed—and I noticed that a large degree of the splashing was done in the vicinity of the refreshment counter. Frog James Reese, Europe was frequently found in a corner of the garden industriously counting little pieces of toast which he had accumulated during the evening. While looking for other Frogs let us turn to the frolicious crowd, which seemed delighted to give vent to a long-pent-up spirit of joy. Everybody danced —everybody sang—everybody laughed and had the time of their lives. Bevies of winsome girls attracted attention by their beautiful costumes; every imaginable creation was represented at this dress congress, including the hula-hula gown worn by a buxom young woman, the composition of which gown appeared to be a pair of blue satin pants with gold-beaded trimmings and a blouse a Turkish tunic—not tonic. We asked that reminds me of the Turkish towel tails displayed—their freshness proclaimed them distinct from the bath-broom. By way of adornment the soap, tooth-brush and bath-mat were also represented; in fact, the only bath-room incidental missing was the hand sapolio. The most attractive male attire was the white flannel suit which was closely followed by the summer suit in various hues—the coolest of which seemed to be Frog James Reese Europe's gray silk creation which clung to his Apollo (?) form like a bit of drapery. Confirmed to the box office we find Frog Lester A. Walton and the Treasurer Frog Alex Rogers busy taking in the bright half dollars; they were ably assisted by "Who-will-win" McPheron, the corresponding Frog, who is trying to look the part of a married man, although wedded but two short months. Busy as the proverbial Irish fleas were Frog Sam Lucas, Tom Brown and Sam Corker, Jr., telling the folks to dance in a circle, while Frogs Conick and Jackson entertained the box-bolders, and Frog Joe-Grey spent the evening trying to stand his stove-pipe hat upon hisanium. Frog Gib Young christened his new Casino at least 80 times during the evening—and if wine launching has anything to do with it—Young's Casino will turn out to be a "floating success." The new President Frog Jesse 'A. Shipp wore his laurels becomingly and can surely boast that the first affair under his regime was a decided success, financially as well as socially. During the latter, part of the evening from a corner of the Casino there arose a blending of voices (not wonderful from a tone or harmonious standpoint but vociferous in volume)—the voices chanted—yea they chanted the "Battlecry of Freedom." In the midst of the group owning the above mentioned voices stood a young man, small in stature but large in intellect and extraordinary in sentiment, for he was soon to be tied till death we do part—the small man is Lester A. Walton—realizing that he is taking his last frolic as a single man—is leading the "Battlecry of Freedom" with a gusto—just prior to making his last rounds—and, believe me, he frolicled some after that. (Note—I take this cowardly advantage of inserting this part of the truth during Mr. Walton's absence on his honeymoon trip—knowing full well that he would blue-pencil it if he could get the more reasonable than one). The absence of the frogs have good cause to regret their inability to attend this function of delightful pastime, and New Yorkers anxiously await the next Frog affair. BOSTONIANS HAVE COMEDY Last Wednesday evening "Breezy Point," a comedy in three acts, was presented by the Guild of Perseverance at St. Augustine's and St. Martin's church, Lenox-street, before a large and enthusiastic audience.

Gilda Pendleton, World Academy School—Miss Bessonne Matern Free for Southern Girls. Declaring that special efforts' should be made for the uplift of the girls of the South, Miss Mary M. Bethune won the plaudits of the large audience that attended the session of the New York Foundation for Cored Woman's Church at St. Mark's M. E. Church, Tuesday night. Miss Bethune, who is the principal and founder of the Daytona (Fla.) Educational and Industrial School, spoke on "The Southern Girl—Our Responsibility for Her." "Those of us who live in the North," she said, "express sympathy for the Southern colored girl. Sometimes, and rightly, too, we say when she comes North to seek better opportunities and surroundings, she is not fitted for the complex life of this section of the country. Instead of expressing sympathy alone, I would have those of us who live in the North take a deep and active interest in helping the Southern girl secure larger opportunities for development along moral, intellectual and industrial lines." The opening session of the fourth annual meeting of the Federation was held Tuesday afternoon, when reports from the various departments and officers were received. It was also reported that the Federation had aided financially Mrs. Harriett Tubman, the heroine of the Underground Railroad. the evening session by Miss Minnie Brown, Mrs. Daisy Tapley, Miss Sarah May Talbert and Mr. Garfield Tarrant.

Prominent Teachers Wed at St. James Church, St. Mary's by Dr. B. T. Washington, Conrad Vincent Norman and Miss Dora B. Cole, of Manhattan. The ceremony, which took place at St. James' Presbyterian Church, was witnessed by a large gathering of New York's most representative citizens. To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Melvin Charlton, the bride entered the church on the arm of Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, who gave her away. The bridal party entered in the following order: Ushara, Counsellors, Philip Thorne, James S. Watson, Messr. Clifton Norman, William Phelps, Doctors James Cabanis and Alfred Robinson. Miss Carribelle Cole acted as mall of honor and Miss Lella Norman was bride-smil, followed by Miss Cabanis, who was flower girl. The bride entered in arm of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who gave her away. Mr. Gerald F. Norman was best man for the groom. Miss Cole and Miss Norman were daintly dressed in steel-gray hand-painted crepe de faille, trimmed with the carved immense bouquets of lavender sweet peas, which blended beautifully with their steel-gray dresses. This color scheme was carried out because of the fact that the bride was in secrecy. Miss Cole, the bride's maid, and Bob Cole, Miss Glindys Cannon made a very pretty little flower girl and carried a large basket of roses and carnations. The bride was beautifully gowned in a white hibiscus tie, trimmed with shadow hue, and pearls. The tunic shirt was draped and held in place on the left by a rope of pearls. She wore pearls around her neck. The floral hower and chanel decorations were made with cinnamon and eggs. The party formed a very picturesque group during the ceremony, among the palms and cut flowers. The Rev. Dr. Lawton of St. James Peterstown Church performed the ceremony, and the Rev. Dr. Brooks of St. Mark's assisted. Both bride and groom are well known socially and educationally. The bride is a graduate of the New York Training School for Teachers, and is a licensed teacher in the Elementary Day Schools, and teacher of physical training in the Evening Recreation Centers and Principal of physical playgrounds in summer, for which work he son she received the rating of 100 from the city superintendent. Mrs. Norman seemed to be gifted with some of that creative talent possessed by her brother. She achieved quite a success in the library line, having written playlets at celebrations in the SHEPHERD, JOHN. Born in New York City, died in Utica, N.Y., on June 11, 2015, when the two were married and of which she is Honorary President. Mr. Normal received the degree of Bachelor of Science from the college of the City of New York, and is now doing post graduate work at Columbia University as a candidate for the degree in education. He is active in every branch of educational work pursued by the New York City Board and holds the following licenses: Teacher of Graduating Class Elementary Schools teacher of English in Evening High Schools. Principal of Evening Recreation Center. Principal of Nature Study in Vacation Playgrounds. Although but 28 years old, Mr. Norman has had eight years of continuous experience in the educational world, working night and day. He is considered an expert in physical training, being a coach for the Public School of the City. With his two brothers, Clifton and Gerald, he founded the Alpha Physical Club in 1904. New York City and its educational authorities have certainly given equal opportunity and a "square deal" in these two classes and the facts given here should serve as an encouragement to the ambitious colored youth of this city and elsewhere. Both have retained the traditional profession, individual merit in competitive examinations and without any influence whatever. Their experience in teaching has been confined to white children solely, though not from choice. I could wish the accomplishments, experience and extraordinary energies of these two gifted teachers were devoted to their work for the poor and the poor. May the opportunity be afforded in the near future for such dispensation. It was most fitting that these two members of the same profession should be given in wedlock by Dr. Booker T. Washington, the greatest teacher of the race and an educator recognized by all authorities. Dr. Washington recalled after the ceremony, "This has indeed been a most happy and pleasing experience." The betrothed are to reside at 1319 Bristol street, Bronx, N. Y., where they will receive their many friends on their wedding day. They will be in the room of the grotto to join little NO RACE PLANK. Democrats. Turn Down Plea for an Expression Favoring the Neco- Special to THE AGE BALTIMORE, July 3.-The Democratic Convention has adjourned, and the colored disciples of the party of Jefferson and Jackson, who came here to ask that a plank he inserted in the party platform inviting the support of the Negro, had their request denied. The nearest the platform comes to asking for the equality of races is the plank praising the abrogation of the Russian treaty, because American citizens of Jewish descent were discriminated against. All the members of the National Colored Democratic League asked for was the reaffirmation of the race planks in the party platforms of 1872 and 1876. The race plank in the platform of 1872 was as follows: "We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of the government in dealing with all people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color or persuasion, religious or political." Four years later the following plank was inserted: "For the Democracy of the whole country we do hereby affirm our faith in the permanence of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments, universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engendered Civil War, and we do hereby record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of republican self-government."

I know that student groups in many Southern universities have been studying this question. They have done this systematically and with high promise. So I was led to conclude that we should look to our State universities for the prosecution of the work, and it appeared that the work could best be prosecuted through co-ordination and co-operation by all the institutions." The commission has been formed by the selection of a member from each of the eleven State universities of the South, as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
