many that there was an important distinction between the A. M. E. Zion commonly called Zion of New York City, a religious and industrial corporation and Mother A. M. E. Zion church as an organization of worshiping under the name of African Methodist Episcopal Zion. Taking what we believe to be the wisest course for us to take, we began the study of the law of religious corporations of the city of New York. After finding that such a corporation as ours is to be governed by the general religious corporate law, we sought to establish the harmony between the interpretation of this law and the discipline of our church. Finding that there was ample provision made in the general religious corporate law of such a corporate organization as the one we are discussing for the recognition and the carrying out of the laws and rules and regulations of our discipline, we began to give instructions as to the rights and voting value of each member of the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. We have endeavored to impress upon the people the thought that they are power and that a majority of it is a daily called meeting rule. Hence, we have been free with with an all information which affects the church thinking that in hearing the people understood the spirit plans and purpose of the church they would be better prepared to speak and act with an understanding. We have preached and played against factional strife, selfishness, intemperance and sinful indulences. On the other hand, we have taught and preached the life of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ; we have and are still praying with Him in the Spirit. His prayer of love, unity, peace and good will to all.
The life we have lived as a husband is one wife for thirteen years, as a preacher of one gospel for sixteen years, as a self help student in the schools of Eastern Shore, Maryland, Providence, R. I., Livingston College, Shiloh, N. C., the Bible Teachers' Training School, New York City, the life we have lived as a convicted, converted, progressive, consecrated man of God, born in the Kingdom of God, through the love of God as seen in His Son by the Holy Spirit twenty-two years ago, the life we have lived as a man of the people who affiliates and fellowships with them without abusing privileges or lowering the standard of respect for ourselves as a man, we stand before our church and the public and all who may be concerned on our record. If kindness, generosity and respect to an individual from a people is an evidence of the appreciation of those people that individual, then we are fully approved by our church and all respects to color, who know us. If an appointment back to a church in the Zion connection is conditioned upon the spiritual, financial and moral worth and the worth of a pastor in the community, members of the church have been daily for the purpose of voting for or against the return of their last vote at that, call meeting not only majority but unanimously for the potter's return, if at the last quarterly
A decree of Mary Preston Gorman, upon his pact, Mrs. Joosth Murphy, the Earl, which was heard before Mr. Bunting Pence, in the special term of Part 2 of the Supreme Court, resulted in a warrant for the defendant.
The plaintiff alluded that the mother
of the district judge of now dead, as the supreme judge of the plaintiff's case, J. Coyanough, he was appointed by the defendant, and he was used in the defendant's case. He was appointed that the real property of the defendant be sold, and $20,000 of the proceeds of the sale be given to her for the settlement of her claim. All of the probes concurred my witness. Throughly Reputed represented the plaintiff and James E. Thracy, the well-known attorney of this city, represented the defendant.
WEDNESDAY 60
The revenue district against the district water by Florence James in regard to water of the city.
ored waiters with whites; the dining room at Camden Station, Baltimore, was filled with white waitresses just before the Democratic Convention met in that city, and the colored waiters in hotels of the Hyde Park district, Chicago, are said to be served food under such conditions that their dining quarters is derisively called the "dog house." One colored one waiter is forced to sit in a seatment to work for $25 a month and other humiliating conditions, which follow.
"The above rate of wages and conditions of employment are correct and approved. I understand that my services may be terminated at any time without prior notice, salary to be paid at time of discharge. I also agree to pay for all breakages or fines imposed upon me by the head of my department. And should I be caught eating while on duty or taking provisions away from the kitchen or dining room I agree to pay a fine of $5. I further agree that if, at any time during my employment or within sixty days after the termination of the same, my employers shall desire to search my person, from trunk, clothing or effects, I will gladly undergo such examination without objection, and hereby waive all claims for damages on account of such search or examination." The night before the white waiters were installed at the Kansas City Hotel the 100 colored waiters were told of the impending change. They were all dum-founded, when they found out that negotiations for white help had been going on for two weeks, and that a special train was then bringing their successors from Chicago. The Baltimore House waiters, though they were a thrifty set of men, had no organization among them.
In a strong letter to THE ACL, Mr. S. C. Jordan, secretary of the Walters Protective Union, says that the colored waiter must be organized all over the country into a national body. He writes: The Negro waiters, regardless of their locality, need not try to fight this battle alone. It is economical and dustrial warfare wage against the Negro, and united forces in the white race will undoubtedly triumph over the Negro who attempts to stand against the defensive side himself. Now and then we can hear of an organization in various cities composed of Negroes, and those organizations attempting to, withstand the inevitable imposing influences wage against them single-handed. This is important because the action of the various organizations links themselves together into one convincing body, the sooner can the influence for good spread its germs in the heart and mind of every Negro of the profession, and like the good of "insurance," instead of three or four coming to the rescue, thousands will respond to the call for help. The Walters Protective League organization, and believe that local organizations of no consequence, when combating the great calamity of "survival" for theittest. We hope every Negro waiter that resides will at least, think, if he does not attempt to organize, and remember "He that would be free must have drilled the blow."
Taking direct issue with the editorial statement made in the last issue of local weekly alleging that women's clubs were lax in their efforts for the uplift of women along some lines, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, in a signed letter to The Age, recounts some of the noble work that club women are going for the uplift of the race. Her letter follows:
Editor New York Age:
An editorial in one of your local papers was shown me entitled "A Word to Women's Clubs." In view of the fact that our State has just closed an exceptional session, I deem it my duty to say a word in defense of this club movement.
The writer wonders if women's clubs of the session are not too largely devoted to musical direction, and if their conversations are not too largely consistent with the display of the talents of their members. The article was erudently written before the writer had seen a copy of the State Program, and perhaps before the convention had assembled for its work. It would be inimical to find a better selected program than the one just given us under the careful selection of Mrs. Marie J. Shunt. Anyone who attended the session must have been impressed with the forceful correct way the local club women and other delegates spoke of the problems, which are daily confronting us. There was no display of talents, but the women who knew the conditions were selected to give us facts and that other points were open to
Mrs. Daisy C. Reed, Miss Grace Campbell, probation officer, who perhaps is more intelligent: along her line of work than many thinkers. Miss Eva Burleigh, interested in urban conditions among Nergros: Mrs. F. R. Keyser, superintendent of the White Rose Home for working girls. Miss Ada B. Samuel, assistant superintendent of Lincoln Hospital; Dr. V. Morton Jones and other women who know and are working along the lines of improving conditions that exist right here in your city, spoke not with the display of their talents but with a knowledge of facts closely defined and forcefully brought out. The motto of our beloved Northeastern is "For God and Humanity I am quite sure that in the past few years we have done something more than display the talents of their members. Prominent among them being our own beloved National President, Miss Elizabeth C. Carter; our own Mrs. Alice Wiley Scoy, Mrs. Chelly Gunner, Mrs. Mary Dickinson, Mrs. Josephine Ruffin and others.
The editor is certainly mistaken or in dense ignorance of facts when he states that no colored club women are concerned with the unhappy lot of their fallen sisters in the tombs, likewise the broad statement that scores of colored women come to this city every year and find to house of mercy or haven of refuge for them. Can it be possible that the owners of this paper, would knowingly allow any nee to rush into print so densely ignorant of facts. Does he not know that the White Rose Home for Working Girls, on East 80th street, has been for years a haven of rest and a refuge where more than 5000 colored girls have been sheltered and kept, and watched over through the efforts of Miss Lewis, Mrs. Wilkerson, Mrs. Pope and others. An angel of mercy has indeed been found in the person of Mrs. Francis R. Keyser, who is giving her life to meet the very conditions complained of. Why not send the writer to this home and let him see what is actually being done for the women of his race. Every boat that touches the Old Dominion dock has a woman there from the White Rose Home to meet it and bring to its haven of refuge girls that have been lured North hoping to find the bonanza the editor speaks of. To-day five cases have come under my knowledge, four of which have been placed and one comes from Ellis Island and since our convention has been in session fourteen girls have been received and been placed in good homes, indeed the "cup of cold water has been given, the stones and thorns have been removed and they have been sent on their way rejoicing."
It seems hard that women's clubs that are grappling with the real questions should be given a knock by one unacquainted with conditions. I wonder if the writer has done anything towards helping secure these houses of mercy. I believe that the time is ripe for our men to "boost" and not "knock" the women's clubs who are doing the work. It is a gross misrepresentation of facts for anyone to say "none of them has done anything." He should know facts before he rushes into print. The neighborhood clubs now forming all

over the city, led by women of intelligence and city interest of the race solely, are planning and sacrificing for this home foal dehonquent girls. No need for the race has ever entrusted the public as this movement so foully put and clearly obtained by Miss Campbell. If the writer will kindly tell us what he has done for the betterment of our girls and will map out a definite course for us to pursue towards solving this problem we are trying to solve by the some of women's clubs, we might receive additional inspiration and would be able to say to him that the club has promised upon his long journey giving to his children the talents and returned finding them doubled, has found the prototype in this gentleman, and we are willing to sit at his feet and learn how to do what we club women have been in doing.

MANY ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL
Special to THE AGE
MANN INSTITUTE, W. Va., July 10—
The summer school at the West Virginia
Colored Institute is being largely
attended. The lectures at the present
session include Dr. W. E. Burghardt
DuBois, Prof. Kelly Miller and Dr.
Brooker T. W. Washington, who will speak
24. Sep. 2014. The will be run

Probable that the Leaders Will Agree Upon State in Philadelphia During Next Week.
Despite the fact that the next session of the Biennial Movable Committee of Odd Fellows will be held in Atlanta, right in the heart of the section of the country where the losses of the order will arise, there is already talk of a firmible insurgent movement, which may require all the means to crush that the machine employed in Baltimore two weeks ago.
The alleged plan of the machine to place First Grand Master William L. Houston in the position of ground secretary, vice James F. Needham, no longer of service to the machine, the alleged plan to move the headquarters from Philadelphia to Washington and later at Atlanta - Ben Davis' home, the fact that the Davis forces are hostile to Grand Master Edward H. Morris because he went on a tour of the world without personally notifying Chief Justice Ben Davis, and the added fact that lodges in Maryland and other States have refused to elect delegates to a convention where the "first" purpose holding full sway, are taken as indications of the slumbering revolts against present conditions in the Order. Having the session within their own territory, the Davis fists are said will look no interference with their contemplated plans.
Against the Davis forces, however, it is believed, the friends of Grand Master Morris will clash in view of the structures made upon him when he went on his trip around the world, and should Grand Secretary Needham refused to be locked in another position to make place for Mr. Houston, the friends of the present grand master and the present grand secretary could make it, exceedingly interesting for the followers of Ben Davis.
The proposed slate, it is said, contemplates the selection of Ben Davis as grand master; Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson to succeed Davis as chief justice of the supreme court of the Order; the election of Harry S. Cummings as an associate justice of the supreme court and the appointment of either Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City or William C. McCardy of Baltimore to succeed him as attorney general of the Order, and the shelving of Grand Treasurer Julius C. Johnson of Baltimore to make room for George A. Sheetsh in Should Attorney General be chosen attorney general and Mr. Sheetsh grand treasurer, Jose L. Nichols has declared that he is in no sense a candidate for office at the hands of the coming B. M. C., but he has many friends in various sections of the country who are urging his selection.
At the meeting of the Sub-committee on Management, to be held in Philadelphia next week, it is probable that a tentative slate will be agreed upon by the leads. Among those expected to attend are: Henry Lincoln Johnson, deputy grand master, who will preside in the absence of Grand Master Edward H. Morris, who is abroad; James F.
Needham, grand secretary of the order;
Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore, who is a
candidate for re-election as grand treasurer;
David Brown, New York; G. A. Sheehy,
Jacksonville, candidate for
grand treasurer; J. S. Noel, Bontgomery,
W. Va.; G. W. Hays, Cincinnati;
C. A. Howze, Birmingham, Ala, grand
directors; L. N. Porter, Little Rock;
W. W. Lawrence, Newbern, N. C. J.
P. Turner, Pulsaki, Term, grand editors
B. J. Davis, chief justice, supreme
court of the United States will most likely
be the grand master; W. R. Morris,
Minneapolis; William L. Houston,
Washington, associate justices of the
Superior Court of the order; Harry S.
Cummings, Baltimore, attorney general;
William T. Francis, St. Paul, clerk of
the court, and W. J. Butler, Philadelphia,
marshal.
FOR AFRICAN TUSKEGEE
Rev. E. G. Sutton Trying to Secure $150,000 for Big Industrial School in Sierra Leone.
Rev. E. G. Granville-Sutton, minister of the Liberal Christian Church, Freetown Sierra Leone, West Africa, is in the city endeavoring to raise funds for a school along the lines of Tuskegee for his countrymen. An industrial school was organized by him a year ago.
Mr. Sutton was one of the delegates to the recent International Conference on the Negro, held at Tuskegee Institute recently and was deeply impressed with the great work that the institute is doing. Seeing the need for a similar work along broad lines for boys and girls of Sierra Leone, he has already interested a number of wealthy persons in his contemplated work. Two men have promised him $50,000 each if he will raise $50,000, and he will spend the next three months trying to raise the $50,000. He says that he has met with a most cordial reception everywhere. Rev. Mr. Sutton will preach at Mt. Olive Baptist Church this Sunday morning.
CASINO OPENING POSTPONED
Gib Young's $100,000 Enterprise Will be Formally Opened July 24—Finest in the Country.
When the finishing touches are put upon the building and the grounds of Young's Casino, 134th street and Park avenue, New York will have a hall and casino which will equal any in size and furnishings that various race organizations now hire from white owners.
A brick casino, 85 by 125 feet capable of seating 3,000 persons will be one of the features. It will also contain 30 boxes. A roof garden seating 1,200 people and with posted plants and palms to greet Summer visitors and a lower hall, which can accommodate a big banquet are among the other features. Two twenty-one rooms will thank the Southern and Western exposures.
It was the intention of Mr. Young to have hold the formal opening of the casino this week, but some labor differences among the workers caused postponement until Wednesday, July 24. The improvements will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000, and will provide New York with the most up-to-date casino owned by the race anywhere in this country. The management of the casino will be in the hands of Mr. Alexander Rogers.
Gib Young, as he is known all over the country, came into the world by the way of Kentucky, and was christened Gadcon L. Young. Inheriting many of the qualities that have contributed to the success of numerous Kentuckians, combined with the experience gained by deep observation into the racial needs of various communities, Mr. Young has made a success as a business man. During the four years that he has kept a restaurant in 1858 street he not only has prospered, but has made hundreds of friends. He is a race man, and has been the means of helping many young men to get an education. He is a liberal contributor to all worthy charities.

Independent Leaguers Wishing for Developments - J. R. Clifford Again United President.
Special to THE AGE.
PHILADELPHIA, July 10.—Because the National Independent Political League, in session here last week, refused to indorse the candidate of any political party, W. Monroe Trotter of Boston gathered four or five men together last Friday and organized a little league of his own. His little league signaled its birth by getting the local daily to print stories of its being called into existence, as well as the adoption of resolutions against color prejudice, against the discharge of the soldiers at Brownsville and favoring the selection of a Southerner — Woodrow Wilson — for President of the United States. The Dollars also asserted that those who remained were Roosevelt men.
The convention opened last Wednesday, and it was apparent from the start that Trotter intended to try to run things. He was opposed to the re-election of John R. Clifford of West Virginia as president, and Mr. Clifford who did not want to stand for re-election ran in order to thwart the Trotter plan to run things.
After the bolt members of the League recalled that when it met long, long years ago Trottier strongly opposed the admission of Archibald H. Grimke Granville Martin, Dr. W. E. H. DuBois and James H. Hayes as members, declaring that "they are strong men and may not get some of the honors that belong to them."
The new organization of Six Little Independents elected the following officers: The Rev Byron Gunner, Hillum N. N. president. W. Monroe Trottier, corresponding secretary, to which position he had just been re-received by the parent organization; W. W. Wilkinson, treasurer, and the Rev J. Milton Waldron, Washington, national organizer. W. D. Johnson of Massachusetts, a devoted follower of Mr. Trottier, accepted the offer of vice president, but the majority of the New England delegation refused to follow the Boston editor.
Dr. Moore's Criticism.
I following the news of the bolt the Rev. D. H. W. Moore, pastor of Zion Baptist Church where the sessions of the league were held, delivered an address in which he deplored the lack of unity among some of those who gathert there "When the enemy has levied its guns at us" he said, "it seem as if we should stand together, instead of stepping our forces on account of persons and attention of other reasons. No other race, similarly situated as we are would dissipate its energies in fight against oppression by dieing it for us." Others who delivered addresses at the closing session of the parter league included the Rev. L. G. Jordas timber Congressman George H. White the Rev. R. H Armstrong and Hearne Limeley Johnson, Recorder of Deeds Washington, Mr. Johnson, who is a strong Tait advocate and the only federal officer that attended the convention, spoke strongly against disranscription, and declared that many members of Congress loudest in their demination of the race held their seat only by the fraudulent deprivation on the right to vote to colored men.
The following officers were final chosen by the parent body: John F Clifford president; the Rev. J. Villey Riley righthand; the Rev. J. F. Wiley, Oklahoma; the J. M. Summer J. G Burrell, vice-presidents; Abel J Caldwell, Philadelphia; correspondent secretary; the Rev. James J Churchman, New Jersey; organizer; W Jones, Philadelphia; treasurer, and Job Clinton, Jr. seregant-at-arms

LILY WHITES IN MUDDLE
Special to The New York Age
RALEIGH, N. C., July 9.—The Lily Whites in this state and city are in a bad condition. One faction, headed by Hons. Richmond Pearson and Virgine Lusk, of Bumcumbe county, succeeded in wrestling the control of the organization from the other faction headed by Hon. E. C. Duncan, who was at the time National Committeeman from this State. He got in bad with the Roosevelt followers by standing with the majority of the National Committee in seating delegates who would vote for the nomination of President Taft. Many threats are being made by the followers of ex-President Roosevelt that they will capture the convention which meets in Charlotte, N. C. for the purpose of nominating state officers and in this convention nominate electors who will vote for President Roosevelt.
President and Mrs. J. B. Dudley, of Greensboro, N. C.; President C. G. O'Kelly, of Kittrell College, attended the funeral of James Leak at Ambrose P. E. Church. Rev. J. E. King officiated.
The Caucasian, a weekly paper published here, is greatly alarmed because of the fact that in the legal primaries of the state the door was open through which the colored Republican can enter and have a word about who makes up the organization of the Republican party, and candidates for all positions in our county and state government. The Negro is waiting and watching and gradually many of the privileges of a citizen which was taken from him by the grandfather clause will come his way.
Joseph Braan, who was messenger during the administration of Governor Russell, Ayecock and Glenn and part of the administration of our present Governor W. W. Kitchen, died Wednesday at his home on South Bloodworth street. He was buried Thursday.

Advertise in The New York Age AND OBTAIN RESULTS
Race prejudice broke out at the summer school of Columbia University this week. There are 3,500 students in attendance, a number of whom come from the South. When the Southern whites found out that some colored students had been assigned quarters in Hartley Hall, one of the male dormitories, they registered a big kick. The university authorities were disposed to agree to the demands of the kickers, and asked it, is said, the colored students to give up their quarters. The authorities promised to aid them in finding suitable quarters.
The colored men include Profs. H. C. Searleck, John Logan, T. M. Gregory W. Robinson, all of Howard University, Washington; D. O. W. Hines, Ralph V. Cook, Carrington L. H. and Ralph W. Reckling, teaches the Baltimore Colored High School.

The police were evidently looking the other way when the attacks were made for no arrests were made. Mr. Pierce is an active young member of Alaskian Baptist Church.

Regular Correspondent of THE ACE
Paterson, N. J., July 10. The people of St Augustine Presbyterian Church will hold a rally this Sunday, July 14. The object of this effort is to meet a payment on the hall adjoining the church property. Rev Eggleston, of Newark, will speak at the morning services and Rev Byron Gunner, of Hilburn, at the evening service, and the local ministers at the afternoon services.

Special to THE AGE
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 9—The Masons celebrated St. John's Day recently. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. S. M. Gibbs, deputy grand master for Florida. An outing to Greeneville Springs, on the St John's River, wound up the celebration.
POLITICAL JOTTINGS.
As forecasted in last week's Age, Charles D. Hilles has been selected to manage the Tait campaign. He is regarded as a most capable man. J. B Reynolds was chosen secretary of the Republican National Committee. Judging from reports, race leaders are going to make a big fight for the re-election of President Taft. They say that with Woodrow Wilson on the Democratic ticket, much defection is not expected among those who may be otherwise tempted to support Roosevelt. Just before leaving for Ashbury Park the other day, Bishop Walters said that he would support Woodrow Wilson. He also said that he had every reason to believe that the Jersey Governor would be friendly to the race if elected. He also said that a bureau may be established for work among colored voters.
Former Congressman White of Philadelphia told some friends the other day that he could not support a Democrat for President or Colonel Roosevelt. Beyond that he would give no inkling of his preference.

SUMMER SCHOOL FOR MINISTERS
THE MUSEUM
TO ALL COLORED CHURCHES
WHY not surprise your minister by giving him a vacation? From June 17 to July 12, 1912, there will be a Summer School in session in connection with Phelps Hall Bible Training School at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute for ministers.
While all ministers will be welcomed and helped and strengthened for their work, the special object of this Summer School will be to give instruction to ministers who have churches in the country districts. Eighty per cent, and more of our people live in the country and our special object of this Summer School will be to show the ministers how to strengthen their work among the people in the rural districts.
There will be no cost for instruction. The only cost will be $10.00 for board during the four weeks. Let the officers of the churches collect enough money to pay the traveling expenses and board of their ministers while they come to Tuskegee to take this course.
The minister will return to his congregation with new ideas, new strength in body and mind and will more than repay the church for the money spent.
Those who want to have their ministers take this course should correspond at once with:

Below we publish a dispatch to the New York Times from Savannah, Ga.:
Savannah, Ga., July 4.—Housekeepers in Savannah are invited to question by imprinting white women from countries in Europe to take the place of the lazies and unsatisfactory negroes. Baron H. D. Hoet, agent of investment companies of the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany, recently in an effort to arrange for the location of a colony from the Netherlands.
It is planned for the colonists to bring sufficient women with them to take the place of colored women. The Africanes are unit or unwilling to work with their women are equal failures in the homes. This dispatch is remarkable for two things.
First, for the amount of editing which the Times permits an irresponsible special correspondent to do. This correspondent refers to the Negro as being lazy and unsatisfactory," "unit or unwilling to work, etc." We question whether the Times would allow such adjectives to enter into its dispatches if the correspondent were referring to German, Jews or any other race except the Negro.
In the next place, this dispatch shows that a few of the white people of Georgia are trying to make the same old worn-out bluff regarding Negro servants that they have been making ever since the war. It is perfectly well known that the white women of Georgia do not want to get rid of Negro servants. Some years ago the State of South Carolina made a serious effort to get white servants from Europe. Some six hundred men and women were landed at Charleston. They were received with a great blare of trumpets. Within two years an investigation showed that every one of these white people had disappeared from South Carolina except six, and these six were said to be working for a colored planter. It will be many years before the Negro servant in the South will be displaced. 'He will remain as a servant because the white people in the South are not willing to pay a decent wage to white servants. White servants from Europe will not work for a dollar or two a week, and white servants will not work unless they have some decent place to live and receive decent treatment. The further fact remains that many white people in the South are trying to employ servants who are unable to pay them and who should do their own work.
We find a few white people throughout this country who have yet to learn that many Negro women find it more profitable and congenial to keep house for themselves than to work for some white family, and there are thousands of Negro farmers who have long since learned that it is more profitable to cultivate their own farms than to cultivate a farm for a white man. The sooner the white man in the South can realize that every Negro woman and Negro man was not born to be a servant for some white person, the sooner will conditions adjust themselves to the benefit of both races.
A JUST JUDGE IN MARYLAND.
All those who believe in a square deal and not in a square steal for "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, who are thereby citizens of the United States and of the State where they reside," will be gratified by the failure of a minority of the citizens of Maryland to disfranchise the Negro citizens by legal enactment or judicial process. The fight which the Negro citizens made to save and protect their citizen rights is one of the brightest pages in the history of the race, and so serves as an example for Negroes of the other States as to leave them no excuse for accepting infractions of their constitutional rights by legal, judicial or other process without the protest of words, backslay by the proft of works, which mankind respects. The Negro must look to his own rights as a citizen, a "person" and to his own rights as a man, as other citizens have to and do it.
In The Ack of June 27 our Baltimore correspondent related the first and second rebate legally rendered to those who have commited at and worked for the disfranchission of the Negro citizen. In the next instance the lake would have some time ago headed
WILSON AND THE NEGRO.
The New York Age does not see respecting Negro in the United States born in Virginia and lived a good part by inheritance and absorption, he has a type of Southern white people against we can prove it.
While Mr. Wilson was president of was the policy of Princeton to keep Negro of his policy and influence, Princeton in State that closes its doors against Negro.
This is not all. Everyone knows that in the State of New-Jersey Mr. Wilson. In spite of the fact that his election as has not by a turn of the finger recognise he has been Governor. He has treated foreigners and outcasts.
It is reported on seemingly good aored people called to see him soon after error to request him to retain a collar the Governor's office for a number of colored people that he would retain the influence but because the man was a "g.
We do not believe that even Bisho which to hang an excuse for supporting no Negro, let us hope, can support such sense of manhood and is out for the d.
Further than this, it is known that people hung around the Democratic con Democrates to put a line or two in the Negro. The convention absolutely refu a single word in the platform regarding it seems to us that it is perfectly clear cannot support Woodrow Wilson with his race.
Even if Mr. Wilson were, as an in he could not do so for the reason that Wilson's nomination are against the N nomination upon such men as Vardama this character. Besides all this, Mr. W an Arkansas white man who, of course.
In spite of all these facts, we dare licking Negroes will be going around the to inveigle the colored people into vote
The New York Ag does not see how it will be possible for a single self-respecting Negro in the United States to vote for Woodrow Wilson. He was born in Virginia and lived a good part of his life in Georgia and Alabama. Both by inheritance and absorption, he has most of the prejudices of the narrowest type of Southern white people against the Negro. This is a bold assertion, but we can prove it.
While Mr. Wilson was president of Princeton University he stated that it was the policy of Princeton to keep Negroes out of that institution. As a result of his policy and influence, Princeton is the one large institution in a Northern State that closes its doors against Negroes.
This is not all. Everyone knows that without the vote of the Negro people in the State of New Jersey Mr. Wilson could have never been elected governor. In spite of the fact that his election as governor was due to the Negro vote, he has not by a turn of the finger recognized a single Negro in New Jersey since he has been Governor. He has treated the race in New Jersey as if they were foreigners and outcasts.
It is reported on seemingly good authority that when a delegation of colored people called to see him soon after he was inducted into the office of Governor to request him to retain a colored man who had been messenger in the Governor's office for a number of years, Mr. Wilson told the committee of colored people that he would retain the colored man not because of their political influence but because the man was a "good darky."
We do not believe that even Bishop Walters can find a single thread upon which to hang an excuse for supporting a man like Woodrow Wilson. Certainly, no Negro, let us hope, can support such a man unless that Negro has lost all sense of manhood and is out for the dollar pure and simple.
Further than this, it is known that an active and strong group of colored people hung around the Democratic convention in Baltimore seeking to get the Democrats to put a line or two in their platform regarding the rights of the Negro. The convention absolutely refused to recognize this committee or to put a single word in the platform regarding our race. Under all the circumstances, it seems to us that it is perfectly clear that the Negro in the United States cannot support Woodrow Wilson without proving a traitor to himself and to his race.
Even if Mr. Wilson were, as an individual, inclined to recognize the Negro, he could not do so for the reason that the people who are responsible for Mr. Wilson's nomination are against the Negro. Mr. Wilson is dependent for his nomination upon such men as Vardaman, Tillman and a host of other men of this character. Besides all this, Mr. Wilson's chief manager, Mr. McComb, is an Arkansas white man who, of course, has no use for the Negro.
In spite of all these facts, we dare say that even a few weak, a few boot-licking Negroes will be going around the country at so much per month trying to invigilate the colored people into voting the Democratic ticket.
down a decision declaring invalid the "grandfather" clause in the municipal election law of Annapolis. As a precedent, a law invalid as to Annapolis would be equally so in any other part of the State until overruled by a higher court.
In the second case United States District Judge John C. Rose has imposed a fine upon two election officers and the printer who printed the ballots used in the Congressional election of 1910, for alleged conspiracy to keep men from voting on account of race and color.
If the United States courts are to fine and imprison such conspirators in the Southern States, as they do in the Northern and Western States, the conspiracies will rapidly disappear. There is nothing more cowardly in the presence of fine and imprisonment than white Southern conspirators against the rights of others. In commenting upon the case, in sentencing the men, Judge Rose said: "It is not for this court to consider whether there may be ever times and places when a higher law requires conscientious citizens to disobey and defy statutory requirements for constitutional enactments. All that can be said is that a doctrine which sanctions such disobedience and defiance is a very dangerous one."
"So long as the Fifteenth Amendment is a part of the Constitution it is the supreme law, and, therefore, must be obeyed, and should be obeyed in spirit as well as in letter."—an obiter dictum of a Federal judge which should long ago have been made a rule of interpretation, rather than a rule of evasion and negation of the Fifteenth Amendment, by the Federal Supreme Court. We believe that it will yet become so, as the other States of the Union will not forever tolerate a condition in the Southern States which gives their white citizens the benefit of the Negro vote in a more disproportionate way than did the slave apportionment.
THE NEGRO IN HARLEM.
Everyone has a right to his opinion. To bear hatred against one because of his racial or religious connections while an unChristian-like spirit, cannot be prevented. However, when a metropolitan newspaper unblushingly represents itself as "an advocate of the people's rights" and on the other hand seeks to stir up race prejudice, we believe it is in order to point out how inconsistent is the policy of such a journal. The Age refers to the New York Times, and to back up the assertion that the Times, which is forever declaring for "right and justice," is inconsistent, we republish a letter appearing in last Sunday's issue, bearing the caption "Dislike Negroes in Harlem, and signed by "A Subscriber."
Can nothing be done to put a restriction on the invasion of the Nego into Harlem? At one time it was a comfort and a pleasure to ride on the Sixth and Ninth avenue elevated, but that was not the only way to vertically have a colored person sitting either beside you or in front of you. They are definitely bold and offensive, with their feet sprawled all over the seat. They are an enormous colony of them around 143th street and Lenox avenue, and they are coming closer all the time. If one's business takes him along Seventh avenue it is annoying, to say the least, to have to walk out in the delivery way because the slidewalk is thicker than those blacks, who have it either the good grace or menners to grove on an inch.
Why cannot we have Jim Crow corn for those people, now that they are turning Harlem over to them?
So far as the author of the letter, is concerned he is not deserving of naming

consideration, as he shows his cowardice by not signing his name. But we deem it opportune to call a halt on the Times, which attempts to sow the seed of race hatred whenever the opportunity presents itself. No other reputable newspaper in New York would publish such a letter so saturated with race antipathy, ignorance and incongruous statements. And yet this same New York Times is crying aloud with patriotic fervor for better treatment of Jews in Russia, applauding every speech condemning Russia for its ill-treatment of the Jews. And such names as Adolph S. Ochs and B. C. Franck, which adorn the upper left hand corner of the editorial page, believe it their duty to preach race hatred in the United States and in the same breath demand that another nation treat a certain element of its citizens with a more broad-minded spirit tempered with justice. If this is not inconsistency THE AGE is constrained to ask the Times what is it?
The ignorance of "the subscriber" is shown by asking the Times if anything could be done to restrict the invasion of the Negro in Harlem. The alarming information could be given to the inquirer that nothing at all can be done. The Times has been active for months endeavoring to stop the settlement of Negroes in Harlem in large numbers, but to no good purpose. It probably would be of interest to the Times and the "subscriber" to learn that both white and colored real estate dealers who operate in Harlem assert that the class of Negroes occupying the flats is much higher than the class of whites; that Negroes refuse to move into apartments previously occupied by white tenants unless the apartments are thoroughly scrubbed and repaired, for in the majority of instances the flats are left in an unsanitary condition. This is not idle talk, and can be verified. It would, indeed, be quite an education for the editors of the Times to visit many of the Harlem flats occupied by Negroes. They would be emancipated from many of their ante-bellium ideas regarding us. The spectacle of "the subscriber" walking up Seventh avenue in the driveway because he could not get ill-mannered Negroes to move an inch on the sidewalk must have aroused the wrath of those whites who managed to get walking room on the sidewalk. Probably at the time "the subscriber" walked up Seventh avenue a band of music was going down the street, or perhaps he got into an evening rush, and the black folk were just returning home from work, having gotten off the "L" and subway. Being hungry maybe they did not show "the subscriber" the courtesy he thought was due him as a member of the superior race.
It is not likely that "Jim Crow" cars will be installed in Harlem for the benefit of "the subscriber," and if he desires to ride he will have to suffer the humiliation of sitting beside a Negro, although it would probably surprise him greatly to learn that his aversion to sitting next to a Negro on the cars is no greater than that of the black man to sitting him. There is not law compelling one to sit next to a Negro on a street car, and if the car is not crowded a Caucasian need not meet such an ignoble fate. In a crowded car it is hardly possible that an offensive Negro would put his number tens on a seat. On second reflection an automobile would get "the subscriber" out of his sad plight.
Here is a little piece of inside information that the Times can use for future reference. It will save the paper from embarrassment, and it will not be
compelled to answer the urge of being a "Dr: Jekyl and Mr. Hyde": The Negro is in Harlem to stay for many years to come. From the appearance of things Harlem will be turned over to him just as certain districts on the East Side are turned over to the Jews. This dwelling together of thousands of Negroes has been brought about on account of the difficulty experienced by colored citizens in getting houses in many localities. Hence this involuntary act of segregation.
Anti-Negro articles published in the Times in the past have not stopped the invasion of the Negro in Harlem, and any dissertations in the future by this paper on the subject will not put an end to the Negro influx. Morally and commercially the Times will find it to its interest to preach the gospel of right and justice in the United States as well as demanding that this doctrine be practiced in foreign lands.
THE SQUARE DEAL IN THE SOUTH.
There is uniformly social and industrial unrest in all quarters of the globe, including our Southern States. Everywhere the unrest is attributed to misgovernment in the imposition and expenditure of public taxation, ephemistically styled public revenues, and to an unequal distribution of the fruits of industrialism which it is in the power of government to regulate. In a high state of industrial development, such as we have in this country, where legislation is so shaped as to favor the capital against the labor necessary for industrial production, instead of seeking to equalize earnings as between the two, the question has so far become a burning one in party politics as to over-shadow all others. At The Outlook puts it: "In legislation public welfare should always be put above special interests, and human rights above property rights, whenever the two conflict." But this, notofinally, is not done anywhere where machinery has cheapened labor but made no corresponding cheapening of the cost of living.
In an illuminating interview in The Outlook for June 22 on "The Square Deal in England" the Hon. David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, shows that the conditions producing unrest in Great Britain are essentially the same as in the United States—that is, political, economic and industrial. Talking about the recent coal strike, for instance, Mr. George says:
"What was the cause of the strike? It was purely social and economic. Politics had nothing whatever to do with it. It was solely rebellion against existing social conditions, and I do not think, on the whole that even wages were a factor of much more consequence than a reminder that you are now dealing with a much better educated democracy than existed, say, thirty or forty years ago. One thing everybody seems to overlook who talks of our political or social principles, and that is the English Education Act of 1870. Since the passing of that act, the education system has national education, constantly improving and broadening. The working classes not only read nowadays, they think."
"Then you attribute industrial upheaval, in this instance at all events, to better education of the masses!" Undoubtedly. Wide knowledge is crucial to understanding the growing dissatisfaction with the conditions under which he is forced to live. I speak of my own knowledge. "Workingmen are realizing that they contribute to the wealth of the community without getting a fair share of the profits. That is one reason why they strike ostensibly for a minimum wage."
The point we desire to emphasize is the industrial awakening of the English masses to bad conditions of living caused by the English Education Act of 1870, calling for higher standards of living by reason of the more general education of the masses of the English people. This is very natural as educated people—people who have no more than a common school education, whatever the occupation of their parents, to which they properly first turn, desire better conditions of living and can have them only by making more at their father's occupations, to which they first turn, or more wages. They also become interested in the question of the wage scale as it affects labor and the profit scale as it affects capital, the two being the joint factors in production, the marked extravagant living and display of employing capitalists and the marked poverty and economy necessary with wage-earners and middlemen aggravating the latter towards the unrest so general everywhere. They think that the profits of the joint efforts should be more equally distributed between the two factors.
A like condition as prevailed in Great Britain in 1870 prevailed in the Southern States at the same period. The public school system has just begun to do effective work among the emancipated blacks and whites, and the readjustment of the industrial conditions had just begun from the slave to the free basis. The Negroes of the South have doubled their population and reduced their illiteracy by one half since 1870, and they have made a home and business and church life where they had none before; but their economic wants have greatly increased, while their industrial opportunities have been vastly narrowed and circumscribed, only the rough manual labor employments being opened to them in the general labor competition, their condition in the skilled trades and the factory work be-
big rigidly defined by trade union regulations that amount virtually to compacriy in restraint of freedom of labor opportunities. Coupled with legal, civil and political discriminations that amount to nullification of constitutional rights, the Negro has the square deal in the South yet to make, and he is making it, but with the dogged, sullen discontent and restlessness that mark the wronged toilers of every Christian nation. The proper readjustments and realignments will be worked out in the Southern States and in the nation in the progress of time, but they will not leave the institutions of the country what they are now, nor what they have been, with sympathetic and enabling amendments here and there, since the foundation of the Government.
The Negro has his square deal in the South and in the nation to work out, and he is being left alone to do this more and more each receding year. The thinking men of the race know this; the masses of the race will learn it in time.
INDEED! HAVE WE NO AMERICAN MUSIC?
Are the American people a musical people? Foreign critics declare they are not. They declare that the only basis for American music of the future is to be found in the Negro melodies that came out of the agonies of the slavery days. Then American critics of the white and mongrel school denied the Negro authorship of the Negro melodies and words and handed them over to white and mongrel authors, on the theory that the Negro should not have ownership and credit of what is indisputably his own.
The white man is a queer beast—a sort of dog in the horse's stable. Anybew, as if the divinity that shapes our ends rough were determined to hew the truth out of the lie, along came Cole and Johnson, Walker and Williams and a hundred and one other Negroes, who not only wrote Negro words and music but presented them to the American people before thousands of footlights where they could hear both words and music and make no mistake as to the singers and the songs. Gradually the white and mongrel critics stopped denying, that the Negro had no poetry in his head nor music in his mouth.
Last week the National Saengerfest of the Northeast celebrated its twenty-third anniversary at Philadelphia. President Taft spoke to the 16,000 people and listened to the chorus of 6,000 singers. It was a great gathering. So great and honest a daily newspaper as the Philadelphia Record interentially denies the Negro's genius for music and poetry in the following:
A vast prepoundance of the singers at the Saengerfest are Germans or the sons of Germans. Americans of other stocks are not very musical. The nation of Germans is not very musical with German help. Music is mostly up imported commodity. Although the German-Americans have given a great impetus to music in this country, they have no yet acquired musical skills. Singing is taught in the public schools, but the children do not grow up into singers. With the Welsh, as with the Germans, singing is a national or racial account, pulsation, and some sort of melody. The Yankees seem to show no gift for singing and do not acquire it as an accomplishment.
We take it that the Record would be the last to rob the German-American or the Negro American of his rights in anything. It has simply overlooked the fact that Negro songs and music dominate the American stage to-day, and that the melody, the soul of it, is growing upon the American people. It is not imported music; it is native to American soil, and the authors of it are not aliens, imported, but Americans, citizens, persons, imbedded in the framework of the Federal Constitution as fixedly as the German-Americans.
Saith the poet: "We may forget the singer, but we can't forget the song." Why forget either? "I am black, but comely," saith King Solomon, the brother of Jesus, who is spiritual lord and master alike of the white editor of the Philadelphia Record and the black editor of the Philadelphia Corrant.
ROOSEVELT PARTY MAY HELP
RACE.
Mr. Robert S. Moore Points Out That Third Party Movement May Make All Concede Rights to Race.
Mr. Robert S. Moore, who strongly supported the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for the Republican nomination, has written THE AGE that the third party movement may make all the leaders of all of the leading political parties make an especial effort to secure the support of the race, with the result that the Negro will secure those rights now denied him.
Mr. Moore's letter follows:
Through the columns of the New York Age, I find that you are, and have been a strong supporter of Mr. Taft in winning a renomination, whilst I, and ninety-nine per cent, of our race with whom I come in contact felt that that was the right thing to do, and I welt did not get the nomination from the Republicans, which he so justly deserved. Personally, I believe everything happens for the best, and Mr. Rescoe's defeat at
Changes may move the position of the door of hope in any of race.
As you well know, the Democratic party did not want us in its ranks. We expected nothing from them and we got nothing from them except disfranchisement in the South, and it's not the fault of Senator Newlands of Nevada that he was not successful in having his resolution embodied in the Baltimore platform, which contemplated disfranchising the Negro in all the states and territories. On the other hand, the Republican party knows we are better than the devil and the deep eye, with the Republican party as a rope, and knowing this it does. it has ignored the last degree, and brought to appease our ambitions by falling back on Lincoln's great work fifty years ago. In the South the Democrats co-operates with the "Lily White" Republicans to bar the enfranchised Negro from governmental positions wherever possible. Now my opinion is that Mr. Roosevelt should be interesting and to us as a race, for he not been defeated, the should never had been the call for a third major party to-day. If the third party becomes a reality of a situation and states from President down to the street cleaner, then the Negro is going to prove a strong factor. All three parties will be to win. The Negro then will be placed in a position to make demands such as the naturalized foreigners does. The old story of Lincoln will be a thing of the past. Mr. Murphy, Mr. Barnes and the new-party boss will wake up some morning and have the truth brought home to them, that there are Negroes in Negro districts capable of being State, Senators, Assemblymen, coroners, inspectors, firemen, policemen, in fact, capable of holding any position that man can hold, all of which our strength demands. The freeing of the have nearly fifty years ago was the order brought out of a chaotic condition then by Almighty God Himself, and let us hope that our social and political settlement will be the order He will bring out of a chaotic condition.
I firmly believe that Almighty God is exerting Hisself in His own way and time, to correct the abuses heaped upon us because we could not help ourselves.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT S. MOORE,

Yonkers, N. Y., June 25. 1912.
To the Editor of The New York Age.
Dear Sir—Will you kindly permit me to memorize my hearty commendation of the position and attitude taken all along by The Aire in the now famous "dog fight" between President Taft and former President Thodore Roosevelt, brought on unnecessarily by the latter. In my mind, there is no other ground to take in the matter, unless it should have been to repudiate both candidates, so far as the Negro is concerned, for some possibly better third man. But as between the two men, I have no reason to believe of the kind reason. I have been unable to fathom out a plausible explanation of the position taken in the matter by such men as the Rev. Roverdy C. Runcom and others, who once made a statement that the former President for his action in the Brownsville episode.
But alas, must it be truthfully said that the Negro's sole object for touring his horn is to hear its reverberating sound? Shall the Negro forever be a political plaything, slapped in face-to-face with a pitchy horn placed toorrow? Is it not hope, not let us hope that he is made of sterner stuff.
The Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ramson, according to reports, made a determined effort at stampeding the colored delegates, from the South, to the Republican convention at Chicago, from the North, to the support of Col. Roosevelt. But it be said to the credit of the delegates that his efforts were fruitless, and that the best reason for the ineffectiveness of the effort is to be found in the fact that upon the most important event of the month, the logical verdict must be as it was, that as between the two rival candidates, though neither one represents the panacea of all our lilies, nonetheless, give us the lesser of the two vectils, William Howard Taft. The one of the two candidates considered the most effective way of bringing about friendly relations between the two races in the South, all other remedies having failed; while the other gentleman, with his accustomed disregard for constitutional limitations, deliberately proceeded to lynch an emperor of whose heads were heavy with honorable service to their country, and the comrades of whom, side by side with Theodore Roosevelt, made that memorable charge up San Juan Hill and snatched victory from the jaws of

Georgia and Barbarism.
With regret we call attention again to the sad condition of the State of Georgia. It seems to be drifting into barbarism as fast as a State can do. Scarcely a week passes without somebody being lynched in that State. The woman we have not as yet heard whether this woman was lynched because she tempted to rape some white man or not. The whole spectacle is disgusting. In the race of all these barbarous acts taking place week by week in Georgia, the leading Negroes in that State seem to be tongue-tied. The time has come for such black men as Henry Lincoln Johnson, R. J. Davis, Dr. J. W. Murray, the Rev. J. C. Doctor, the Rev. C T Wiler Silas X Floyd Bishop M. T. Turner Bishop Bishop host of others to speak up. They seem to be afraid of tongue-tied. Speak out men and speak out loud against inhuman brutality!
The Hon. James Renauchamp Clark of Missouri and the Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama shook the political tree and Prof. Wowrow Wilson of New Jersey and Virginia caught the persecution that Col. William Jendags Bryan of Nebraska schemed to catch for himself.
Col. Roosevelt and his Bandana party are disintegrating rapidly since they left Chicago.
The White Hope went down again July 4, and J. Arthur Johnson, the Black Hope, is still the champion heavyweight slugger of the world.
The political grafter also thrives in Japan along with the Gelsha girls. During the last fiscal year, says the Omaha Jiji, 347 officials and 162 members of assemblies of cities, towns and villages were legally prosecuted for various offenses.
Ormaby McHarg and Hon. William I. Ward, who did so much to boost Col. Roosevelt's fortunes before and at the Chicago convention, decline to leave the Republican party. Perhaps they are dodging the Red Bandana, the new party's origname.
The Negro Democrats who went to the Baltimore convention, from New York do not seem consumed with enthusiasm over the Wilson and Marshall ticket. They don't relish the idea of having to support a Southern man like Woodrow Wilson for President. They will probably like it less the closer they get to him during the progress of the campaign.
We recently commented upon the death of Ishmael at the hands of Abraham, East Indians, at Philadelphia, because, as Abraham declared, Ishmael had recently become "a Christian dog," not fit to live, according to Islamic doctrines. Now Adam Paul, a German laborer, fifty-four years old, is dead at Atlantic City, burned to death in a boiler room.
The staff correspondent of The Age is authority for the statement that the colored delegates held the balance of power in the Republican convention, and that they were above selling their votes. That is a good record, one not made at previous national Republican conventions, and it is to be hoped that it is one that will be sustained in future. The good record that the good record was made too late to save the race from the political slough of despond into which it has fallen except by new exports and in new conditions of the future.
"Col. Henry Watterson, the veteran Democrat and good citizen, whose editorial pencil never grows old or dull, says, 'Reflecting Democrats should rise in their wisdom and in their might,' and follow the straight and narrow Democratic path. But he is a dreamer. In the Baltimore convention of more than one thousand Democrats, William L. Bryan seemed to be the only 'reflecting Democrat' and he rose in his wisdom and his might as often as he could get on his feet. 'Reflecting Democrats' are as scarce as hen's teeth.
Everett Colby of New Jersey says that the only thing to do is to break up both the old political parties, to which the old Democratic Philadelphia Record makes reply, that "the Democratic party has been here so long that it would be missed if it went to piece"—as a plague of small-pox, or yellow fever, or bubonic plague is missed when it goes away. The matriarchal Georgian Record is that being anything but Republican the yhushave anything the Republican party for years, seeking to smash it because they were not allowed to rule it. As members of the new Red Bandana party they will have to do as Col. Roosevelt says or be soundly caddled with his Big Stick.
William Jennings Bryan gave the country an exhibition of slave-driver methods that disguised even the slave-driver Democrats and their descendants in the Baltimore convention. The haughty, insolent Southern Democrats were made to squirm and howl under the Irishman's tongue lash from the opening to the closing of the noisy convention, in which the lie was freely given and taken and an occasional head was slightly smashed, domineering sort of creature Col. Bryan is, but he lays the lash on the backs of the Southern States, as he dreads in the Democratic convention at Baltimore, we are constrained to renew to him the top of the Irish morning, along with the assurance of a continuation of our most distinguished regard. He possesses all of the fight and stickability of the Irish race.
A news dispatch says: Will English, a young Negro under arrest for insulting a white girl, was taken from the jail at Bradenton to-day and hanged to a tree. The mob overpowered Jake W. S. Young after he had shot at them." The South Florida Enlists are among the most respectable and influential Negroes in the state, one of their number having been postmaster at Key West, if we remember aright, and there are many members the family residing in New York. "Lay for insulting a white girl. The Southern mob wather holds chapely. But the police reaction in the public opinion that sanctions mob law. The permanency of the American states and government depends upon that reaction. It does not look as if it will ever come through the agency of the Democratic party in the State or the Nation.
A German-American, writing in the Wall Street Journal, on "Dreams vs. Prophete," says it is his experience that "the rule of the world seems to be that one is privileged to dream all one wishes; in fact, one must dream to accomplish great things, but one dreams must come true; if the dream fails the dreamer is branded as "poor deluded fool." This is of the same character as the old saw, "Nothing succeeds like success." When men are young they dream dreams, but when they get old they sow. When the young make haste to grasp with the old told the audience the old take time to weigh in to the possible outcome. Then the reason why the young accomplish is much that the old pronounce impossible until it is done. The young North should face his condition wisely and grample with it courageously, remembering as a starter that a penny saved is a penny made and that he cannot gratify his unnatural desires and have a nest for times of need.
When was it? Everybody knows it was last week.
Who was there? Well, most of the colored women who are "doing things" in Greater New York, and many from other places. It was a pleasure and inspiration to look into their faces and hear them tell of real work that is being done to help our people, especially our young women.
St. Marks did herself honor to throw wide her doors and bid them welcome. The pity is the church wasn't crowded at each session, for never, more than now. did we need to get together and study out some of the complex problems facing us. Mrs. Taloert, the very able president, impressed all as the "right woman in the right place," and the Federation bore this out by re-electing her for another year. Institutions and organizations in which women are interested were primarily to the fore, especially the clubs of the Federation. On Tuesday, Mrs. Bethine of the Department Educational and Industrial School for Negro girls, made a splendid address on "The Southern Girl—Our Responsibility for Her." And we are responsible for her to a large extent.
On Wednesday Mrs. Daisy C. Reed (hope that Nursery fame) told of the work of the Utopian Neighborhood Club, which is endeavoring to establish a home for delinquent colored girls. Little old New York is proud of Mrs. Reed. Without thought of self she has enthusiastically taken up the immense work of trying to establish a home for our girls who deviate slightly from the norm. The police are in dragnet of the police. Maybe the slip comes from thoughtlessness; but instead of pushing them further down by a prison term, this home is designed to stand for another chance, and the helping hand they so much need. In this connection Miss Grace Campbell, may be mentioned. Miss Campbell, who is a woman of intelligence and broad sympathy, is probation officer in the Court of General Sessions. It was primarily through her experience that she gained detention home crystallized. The colors she congratulates themselves on having a representative like Miss Campbell in this responsible position.
It was a disappointment to hear nothing from the Women's Business League. Its president, Mrs. Eccles, was present, and recited, but we wanted to know what the league is doing? And where were Mrs. Ransom of the Y. W. C. A. and Mrs. A. M. Robinson of the Hope Day Nursery? We wanted to hear about their institutions.
Well, now, it did one good to see Mrs. Daisy Tapley, as well as to hear her beautiful voice. She has a most gorgeous voice and walk; something one does not see every day. Most of us walk as if we are apologizing for living, and that is one of the factors the death rate from tuberculosis is higher among Negroes than any other nationality. Why not teach your Y. W. C. A. girls how to walk, Mrs. Tapley, as well as how to sing?
It is always a pleasure to hear Mrs. Keyser, the head of the White Rose Home, which has sheltered so many girls from the Southland. Mrs. Keyser is one of our most cultured women, and one of the best speakers of the race; besides that, and most important of all, by her own life and deeds she is making the world a better place in which to live. Mine. M. J. Stuart, secretary of the Federation, Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier, Mrs Wilkerson, Mrs M. R. Lawton, Mrs Sea, Dr. V. Morton Jones, Miss Cel Batey, Miss Eva Burleigh, Mrs C. Dett, of Niagara Falls, and other women, all believe that "The End Crown's the Work," were there to inspire us, and we know that they are doing their share towards the bettement of the race.
The words of the Federation song, written by Miss H. Cordelia Ray, are inspiring, but is the tune "Marching Through Georgia," appropriate for a body of colored women? Here is a chance for one of our composers to give us an original tune.
(Yes, there were men present, but it was a woman's affair in every partici- and well may they be proud of it.) MAY MARTEL.
Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia.
The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand from all parts of the United States and many portions of the old world for accurate and concise information in regard to the history, progress and present status of the Negro race. It is based on a large extent on the opinions that have come to the institute and have been turned over for reply to the Department of Research of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head.
Among the subjects treated in the work are "The History of the Negro in 1911," "The Emancipation Progress of the Negro in the Religious Field," "The Negro in the Religious Field," "Bolts of Heroes," "A Chronological History of the Negro in America." It contains directories of Negro businesses in Negro towns, business leagues, federal newspapers and national and cultural organizations. There are also carefully listed lists of books and artworks related to the Year Book, which is bound in paper with pages. The information contained in it is concise, systematic and makes it easy of reference. It is not published as a book, although it may be a later edition if it finds a sufficient number of readers. It is furthermore there is sufficient demand for the Year book to warrant its publication in succeeding years. The book has been placed on the message file. A considerable amount of it may be made to persons deserving ten copies or more. Address Negro Yersey Book Company.

Atkina May Be Tried Again.
John H. Atkins, the lawyer, who was convicted and sentenced to a year's imprisonment and to pay a fine of $500 for alleged fraud in connection with the affairs of the defunct Metropolitan Mercaptile Company, was granted a certificate of reasonable doubt by Supreme Court Justice Crane in Brooklyn last Saturday for his dissolution trial will be heard in October. Should Atkins furnish $10,000 bail he will be liberated pending the motion for a new trial.
Fresh Air Home Opens.
The services on last Sunday were largely attended despite the excessive heat. Rector E. G. Cliton, D. D., was the preacher and celebrant at the Holy Communion. The services during the summer months, both morning and evening, will last but one hour. St. David's Fresh Air Home threw open its doors for the summer work last Thursday. A large number of members and friends journeyed to the home to show their appreciation of the work and stayed for hours enjoying the meal. The home will remain open until Labor Day, and those who go there to stay will do so under the personal direction of the rector. The friends of the church are urged, especially those without a church home, to visit the church during the summer months to see the work.
Celebrate Pastor's Anniversary.
Benedict to TEX AUG.
Montgomery, Ala., June 26—The annual church reception celebrating the seventh anniversary of the pastorate of colored Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, was a very successful affair. The celebration began on Sunday morning with a sermon by President M. W. Gilbert, D. W. of Selma University. The sermon was an able one an dude a most favorable impression upon the congregation. Sunday night the program consisted of addresses by representatives from the Deacon Board, Advisory Board and the pastorate of the church to address on "Some Things that Make a Strong Church," was delivered by Dr. Gilbert, and the service closed with baptismal service by the pastor. A large crowd attended the services. Sunday morning the day was one of great importance with the congregation. At the reception several short addresses were delivered by the officers, laymen and ministers present. All the addresses bore work and they were very encountering. The music was good and appreciated.
Give a Generous Response.
To the Editor of the New York Age:
May I call the attention of your readers to the present needs of the colored people in New York and to a special opportunity for helping them which has just come up.
There is no place to which a fresh air party (the usual group or 25 or 30 boys or girls between six and twelve and one-half years) may be sent for a two-week outing at any time for the rest of the summer. In order to maintain its standards, the Negro Fresh Air Committee has found it necessary to establish a special operation with the Trinity Fund. We have even an ideal place with good house, water and plenty of land which is only an hour by trolley from the city, 25 cents fare. The owner is willing to sell at a reduced price to us, but we need $1000 secure and equip it for use this summer.
The great advantage of this place is that it can also be used as a convalescent home for colored people, something that is recognized as an urgent need by all the city's hospitals. A plant could be used all the time, or round, and be better worth buyin, can a cheaper one suitable only for two months' summer, work. If any one can tell us of, or give us an equally suitable cheaper place, especially if it is near salt water, we should be able to know it. New York-Fort Washington Committee has completed six years of the field well. There is no "overhappening," but close co-operation among all the colored agencies, nad with the Committee on Urban Conditions among Negroes. Urban in urgent need of a 600 to carry on the work. Until we have the money no children may go away. To all therefore who have had the consent and reinforcement of a may in the company during the holiday, or can

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 a other power. I did my, and later purchased two of them.

this letter as references; for I believe it is my duty to let the world know that through the power and influence of two Loadstones.
Several weeks ago I foolishly laid the charmole bug containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was freetiful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything, as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

NEGRO CHANCES
After all which has been said and written about the Negroes' opportunities we would conclude that the word "opportunity" might just as well be considered obsolete as far as the professional Negro is concerned. Complaints of lack of chance emanate from numerous Negro lawyers, doctors, etc., continually, and even the performer constantly walks about the food of oppression being the main source. The Negroes have taught that his color is an unsurmountable obstacle and has reached the stage where he is a firm believer of that statement.
There are about 200 Negro weekly papers throughout the United States which publish in each issue something to discourage their readers. The usual handlines proclaim dire disaster to the race, fatal happenings or ultimate believers in future destruction of the Negen, physically, financially and some even claim morally. Should a prominent Negro die of a mental disease, immediately the whole Negro press wonders if the race will die of the same; not only do they wonder but they ask it in largest type. Should a Negro enterprise of any note by chance fail, the Negro as a business proposition is immediately condemned by his press, although thousands of white enterprises fail. The Negro physician is no exception to the rule; he mourns for rights he claims he is deprived of—and so on down the line you hear the usual tale of woe, so much so, that we look for the initial "P" (standing for pessimistic) to be prefixed before the noted gentleman's name.
Have you ever stopped to reckon the amount of harm our papers unthinkingly do? Has it ever occurred to you that the discouraging articles published by Negro papers have a tendency to place the whole race in a false light before the entire universe? Can we not realize that such articles do more to draw a greater color line than any other known source?
The Negro newspapers remind one of the man who imagines that he is sick. This fellow, whom we have all met, constantly greets one with a sorrowful story in which he embodies every imaginable physical ailment and claims that he is the possessor of them all. Should you by chance mention a new disease he will ask the symptoms and immediately show you wherein he has also suffered from that for years. Just so with our editors; they kill the race weekly—it almost seems as if they do it for lack of something else to write upon. Total the above complaints and the answer will be the "race problem."
Many have asked for the solution of this "race problem"—there is but one solution and that is education and ownership. Not until the Negroes have both of the alforesaid assets can they be freed from their constitutional rights. True, they may demand it now, but that is as far as they get.
The Jews have been persecuted to a greater extent than the Negroes, but ownership wiped out all prejudicial lines and made them a power in the land. When the Jew was told he could not enter, he immediately bought the property and we know the result. There is nothing of financial interest done in this country and oftimes in foreign kingdoms without our Jewish friend being consulted. Many would like to bar the Jew from the privilege which he enjoys, but the Jew owns the privilege. The same must be taught to the Negro. He must be taught to the Negro, including his hospital and everything that is necessary, which included money. Next, he must own his mediums of amusements, such as theatres, pleasure casinos, playgrounds, etc., and from that he may advance to proprietorship of luxuries such as automobiles, yachts, etc.
We must admit that the Negro is prone to imitate the millionaire although he is far from one. Should the Negro devote the energy used in stalling, to business or professional enterprise, he would soon realize a wonderful advancement. The ordinary Negro is adorned with golden lockets, fobs, chains and trinkets beset with diamonds, rubies and pearls, does not pay direct tax on fifteen cents worth of real property and therefore has no real voice in civic government. He is a great thinker, speechmaker, resolution-passer and innovator; likewise he is great and minded. He would posit expansion "I move if I can obtain a second to the motion," and his strongest expression commences with the words "Resolved that we." The Negro in convention moves and resolves all day and then adjourns only to meet again for the purpose of passing more motions and resolutions; in other words the Negro is too theoretical and not practical enough.
When the Negro can stand and look about him and point to land, houses, churches, hospitals, banks and the essential requisites of race prosperity and claim ownership, then he is in the position to say what he will and will not stand for—and not until then. When he is in this position he can use his education to secure proper representation by his own race in civic government.
Here are two facts that the Negro should take advantage of: First—He is the balance of political power. Second—The prejudice against his race is a wonderful money-making medium.
Were Negroes to capitalize a company and buy in or obtain equities in real estate throughout neighborhoods where the white people desire exclusiveness (which means anybody but a Negro in a neighborhood) they would easily make a raugel for quiet and safe housing.
Negro people owned the property would assure it. White capitalists have seen the value of such action and are making money hand over list using the Negro agents as tools by which to gather the coin. If Negroes can support such enterprises for the whites why can't they support them for themselves? When, the Negro was freed from slavery he had a right to ask assistance from the man who had unlawfully deprived him of his liberty—but since that time the Negro has had opportunity to become educated and should therefore take advantage of his learning. What's the use of having brains if you don't use them? The race should assert manhood and stop carrying 'the begar's tin cup. A few brains here and a few brains there—a few dollars here and a few dollars there, added together will create an enterprise worthy of notice.
The Negro performer once wailed the death of a few leading stellar lights, but realizing that wailing got nothing they buckled down to hard work and have since built greater monuments in the theatrical world than they had dared hope.
If the Negro newspapers would put down that "Colored Man's Burden" which they have carried until they are so round-shouldered that they are nearly humpbacked, and take up something to enlighten the younger generation and encourage the elders, they would be doing more for their race than they have done heretofore. By constantly harring the race question" before their white brothers they only stir up that which had better be forgotten, if possible.
The white people know that we are Negroes—that we have the same amount of brain, brawn, bone and muscle as they. We are their equal in everything but finance—and that is what we must use our brains to get. With it we can kill all prejudice.
Let our papers announce in large type every glorious or worthy deed of Negroes and acquaint their readers with the professional and business success of our race. I'm sure it would be more interesting to read and more pleasing to not only the Negro readers but likewise to the whites who use our papers as an advertising medium.
Although our sympathy is with the underdog, we can't spend all of our time listening to his plaintive white. We rather spend our hours more pleasant in association with the successful and more cheerful one. You do—so do I.
The fact remains—the Negro has plenty of chances, but he must have the nerve, capital and education to take advantage of them. What if he has not got them? Get them.
Every race is born with a certain amount of natural vanity which allows it to boast upon slightest provocation. We boast that Bert Williams, a Negro, is the greatest comedian on the American stage—he has proven it. We boast that Negro Joliet is best man in the world—he has proven it. We boast that we have the greatest lawyers, financiers and physicians—now prove it.

Sendal to TWN New York, Am.
Topeka, Kan., July 10.—The first annual convention of the Negro National Civic Movement will convene here August 20 to 23, for the purpose of promoting for the moral civic and cultural development of the Negro.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., July 7—The Alabama Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, composed of leading Negro women of the State, closed its fourteenth annual meeting here Friday. The meetings were presided over by Cornelia Brown of Waugh, Ala., who has successfully served in that capacity eight consecutive years. The first meeting was held Wednesday at the First Baptist Church, the Rev. I. T. Simpson, pastor, where welcome addresses were delivered by the pastor and other representative citizens and gracefully responded to in behalf of the Federation by Mrs. H. C. Davenport of Birmingham. The meetings Thursday and Friday were held at the A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. W. L. Hamlin, pastor.
Among the visitors during the sessions were: Dr. George A. Weaver and Dr. Mitchell, physicians of Tuscaloosa, Ms. Booker T. Washington, wife of the famous founder and principal of Tuskegee Institute; Rev. A. P. Owens, Dean of the Bible School Tuskegee Institute, representing the press; and one of the trustees of the Mt. Meigs Reformatory appointed by Governor Oralal, W. W. Hamling, Rev. J. T. Simpson, Prof. Dale S. Barnes, G. W. Ball, Sam Daley, in charge of the Reformatory for Negro boys near Tuscaloosa, Rev. J. A. Holliday, Joshua Pickett and other well-known citizens of Tuscaloosa.
The Federation established the Mt. Meigs Reformatory for Negro Boys. By an act of the last legislature the Reformatory was created a State Institution with the title "The Alabama Reform School for Juvenile Negro Law Breakers," appropriating eight thousand dollars for improvements, and further provided for the maintenance of the institution. In December last the State of Alabama assumed absolute control, and the Governor appointed nine trustees in compliance with the law. Up to that time the Reformatory, with forty odd inmates was maintained entirely by the Federation and the general public. While the Reformatory is now a State Institution the trustees appointed an advisory board which is a connecting link between the trustees of the State Reformatory and the Alabama Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Through the advisory board composed of the officers of the Federation, the colored women co-operate with the trustees in running the reformatory.
Reports read by Recording Secretary R. S. Caldwell of Mobile, Treasurer L. F. Hadnott of Birmingham, Corresponding Secretary M. J. Lewis of Montgomery and Chairman of Board of Management L. B. Dungee of Montgomery, the summary of which showed that the general receipts during the year were $1,416.17, the disbursement were $1,135.10, leaving a balance on hand of $280.97, with all outstanding claims paid.
The Anna M. Duncan Club of Montgomery, of which Mrs. L. B. Dungee is president, collected $699.93 and paid out to bills on Reformatory $175.85, leaving a balance in cash $194.08 turned over to the treasurer at the meeting Friday. This treasurer reported by clubs at the meeting. This very creditable report showed the white citizens of Montgomery made donations ranging from $2.00 to $25.00. This report also gave the banner to the Anna M. Duncan Club, and the chairman, Mrs. Dungee, was presented with a handsome silver tea set as a testimonial of the appreciation by the Federation of the excellent services rendered the Reformatory during the year.
The Clubs of Mobile, Birmingham, Selma, Waugh, Tuskegee Institute and other clubs of Montgomery made gratifying reports and received special commendation.
Aside from the donations from the clubs for the Reformatory work these clubs have made very liberal contributions of money and other things to the needy in their respective communities largely in excess of the amounts reported at the federation meeting. The reports showed also that there are six boys in the Reformatory that they earned $497.00 during the year picking cotton for neighboring farmers, and that the management of the Reformatory by the trustees for the State is very satisfactory.
As an illustration of the willingness of the Federation to continue their cooperation with the State of Alabama in running the Reformatory at Mt. Meigs it was decided to ask the trustees the privilege of erecting a suitable annex to be used as a trades building for the boys, the cost not to exceed $500.00. It was also decided to begin raising funds to establish a Rescue Home for Wayward Colored Girls. The proposition was referred to the Executive Board of the Federation to select a suitable location. Very favorable inducements were offered by the Birmingham Clubs for the location of the proposed Home in that city. The matter will be considered by the Executive Board in their January meeting. The clubs are enthusiastic and united as to the necessity of the Home. This will probably be their next move after erecting the annex at the Reformatory for the boys. Appreciates us, Vietroes.
PRESIDENT
The Federation was addressed by Rev. A. F. K. Dr. J. T. Simpson, Rev. W. L. Hamlin, Rev. J. A. Holliday, Dr. George A. Weaver and Dr. Mitehell, Sam Daley, Prof. B. H. Barnes, G. W. Ball, and other leading colored citizens. Fine papers were read by Justice Bradford of Birmingham, and Miss Garrette of Montgomery. Dr. Weaver delivered an instructive address on Tuberculosis, calling attention to the high death rate among the colored people, and made important suggestions on the laws of health.
Mrs. Booker T. Washington delivered an inspiring address on what the Federation stands for which was enthusiastically anlauded.
The meeting was considered the best ever held in the history of the organization. These women are doing an unselfish work for the uplift of the fortunate and the criminal classes of the race that places them among those who are doing the world's work. They represent school teachers and church workers whose aim is the highest standard of moral civic educational and religious improvement of the masses in cities and rural districts in Alabama. They enjoy the confidence and joy of endorsement of the best white people in the States. When the bill was in the Legislature to create the Bakersfield

A Bad Drowning Accident/
Funeral services over the remains of William Heyleriger were held at St. Philip's Church on Tuesday at 1 p.m. the Rev. E. W. Daniel, curate, officiating. Deceased was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Heyleriger and was drowned while swimming in Pompton Lake, N. J. He was a young man of much promise and during his school days a prominent athlete in High School contests. The church was well filled by his young associates and friends of the family. The interment was at Kensico Cemetery. Besides his parents, a sister and other relatives survive him, who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in the sore bereavement through this lamentable accident.
Pastor Sims on Vacation.
I wish to thank our officers, members and friends who took part in my vacation offering and other helpful presents. Sister P. Jones, president of the Harlem Circle, G. Silas, H. Green and Steward, with a number of others, decided some time back that I should not want for clothes when I left on my vacation. They had me go to a tailor and fitted up with a Prince Albert suit. The fact is they gave me an entire outfit from head to foot. Mrs. Sims was remembered as well as our little girl. We are unable to thank our friends for their kindness. We leave this week for Cumberland, Va. Services were splendidly attended all day. At 11 a. m. the pastor preached on Christian Union. The sermon was well enjoyed.

MASSACHUSETTS, July 10. The visit of a number of colored Democrats to this day to urge that the recent Democratic National Convention insert a plank in the party platform inviting the support of the race and the failure of the bourbon to deny this manly request, as well as the fact that the Democrats nominated a man of strong Southern leanings for the Presidency, in the person of Woodrow Wilson, are still topics of conversation among race leaders here, the great majority of whom declare that they will not support the candidate of a party that does not want the Negro.
Speaking of the fruitless visit of the well-intentioned Negro Democrats, the Maryland Voice says: editorially last work.
Surely, Bishop Alexander Walters and the Rev. J. Milton Walterson, the sages of Negro Democrats, must feel the sting of alight and chagrin administered by their party chiefs while in Baltimore. They came in the strength of their audience as Negro Democrats. Good-looking in dress, they paraded up and down the streets covered with banners of the Democratic party with which they came to beg affiliation. Their headquarters were located in the section of the city where the best of Baltimore's colored people reside. The hope of the widows was evidently to draw into their camp a host of colored men from our Monumental City to search with them to the Convention Hall on the opening of the meeting; but they hoped and planned in vain. Even the very few men of Baltimore who agreed to serve as a reception committee were in hiding after the first day previous to the opening of the great convention.
The visitors met at their headquarters, and made speeches, in which at least one said the Republican party had never been any real benefit to the Negro people of the United States, and that the only salvation of the race was the infiltration of all the men of the race with the Democratic party. Bishop Walters was a little more discreet and gave out his mission to Baltimore was to put in the platform a plank pledging equal civil and political rights to the colored race, and to protect them from persecutions." After quoting the proposed plank of Senator Newlands to show the National Democracy is hostile to the political rights of the race, the editorial concludes:
The plea is to distranchise the colored men of all the states by an amendment to the United States constitution, and while it was not put in the platform, it expresses what the party stands for and no doubt will do, if they sweep the country next fall and elect their President, and get control of both Houses of Congress, as they hope to do.
-- Colored men can vote a million strong to prevent their enemies from reaching the goal of their ambition and they can be trusted to exercise their privilege in self-defense.

conference in the presence of and by the direction of the presiding Elder, the people again register their votes for the return of their pastor, if he, the pastor wishes to concur in and with the petition of the people, and the Bishop in charge has no special need for this pastor in some other place, when these three wills have been carried out as in the case of the pastor under discussion, we do not see the wisdom of parading before the public the compiracy and wicked blunder of someone in attempting to remove the pastor without his knowledge or the general knowledge of the members.
If our success as a pastor-preacher is to be measured by the joining of new members to the church by the increased general attendance, by the constant calls for prayer, for visiting the sick and for preaching funerals, if charity towards all and malice toward none counts for anything, if liberality, Christian deportment, simple, plain, earnest and a sincere life, coupled with a similar gospel indicates success, we see no reason why that we should not be spoken of and written about thus by those who are our friends. These friends of the pastor were so kind as to hide the purpose of their delegates' trip from the pastor and people and now at this late day they show their friendliness by exposing their kindly interest in the pastor by such a beautiful phrase as this: "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 Gov-

STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR.
Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more is a hair preparation that will help you 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. Kink-no-more last from six to eight months. Water not nothing; also will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a coarse worker. So no manny does it do hair that is hard to work on. Own eyeg. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a range of hair preparations, hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten.
Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from causing itching. But will promote a luxurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or not. It is sold under a guarantee on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal money order or coupon. When ordering mentions offered to agents. Write to-day for special terms. Enclose 2 cent stamp to reply. Agents wanted everywhere.

We wish to thank the Trustees for this published interest in us. They have had and always will have our good wishes and prayers for their sincerity in the work of the church for the glory of God and the good our fellow man.
Mr. Editor: Since the finance of the church is mentioned in this statement it might be of interest to the public to see the report and judge for itself. According to the annual report of the Trustees for the fiscal year ended March 25, 1912, the total receipts were $7,382.83, which included $1,800 from the sale of Harlem property. The average monthly collections from the congregation were $425 monthly. The disbursements for the same period were $7,303.82, and there was on hand and in bank a balance of $555.70, including $248 rent from the Grove Street property.
According to the statement of the Trustees there was no need for burdening the church with an additional mortgage of $10,000, as the outstanding bills in the hands of the Trustees amounted to $2,227.56. The above statements can be verified on application to the board of trustees.
We repeat there is no fight on in Mother Zion Church and has never been one between the members and the pastor, these three years up to date. The members, like the pastor, are surprised at what occasionally parades itself before the public. The pastor and his wife are at peace with God and all mankind and are being well cared for by members and friends. If he has any enemies he does not know them by the treatment he receives from them and he feels sorry and much grieved over the fact that some one has attempted to make it appear as if there was an estrangement and a rupture in the church. The pastor and members have always and do now gladly welcome all persons who will come to our church, be one with us in the work of the glory of God and the good of humanity. The church building is a very large one and the pastor flatters himself because he thinks he has done a great work to keep as large and a growing congregation as he has under the circumstances. Here is a little quotation from Bishop J. W. Hood, D. D., L. L. D., Pastors, Presiding Bishop: "To the Pastor and Members of the Mother Zion Church: Greeting:
The Trustees were of the opinion that a change of pastors would help
