WILL LEASE TO NEGRO TENANTS "Towers Court," at Fashion- ble Eiberon, N.J., is on the Market HOME OF MILLIONAIRES Eiberon is Known as one of the Most Fashionable and Exclusive Summer Colonies OWNER MAKES STATEMENT Former Address Says She Has Been Un- fairly Dealt With and, Her Benefit Estate Decreased in Value. Right on the heels of the announcement by real estate dealers that several modernly appointed elevator apartment houses have been opened in Harlem for colored people, comes another piece of real estate news, even more startling than the first, to wit: That "Towers Court," one of the most palatial houses in Elberon, N. J. which, by the way, is one of the finest and most exclusive residence sections for summer colonists in the country, has been put on the market for Negroes. Elberon is only a short distance from Asbury Park, where many wealthy and well-known citizens of New York, New Jersey and other states have erected summer homes. Every house in Elberon is regarded as a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The owner of "Towers Court" is Mrs. M. L. Cummins, formerly an actress, who claims that she concluded to either lease or sell "Towers Court" to Negroes because she had been made the victim of unscrupulous people who have no proper property to decline in value. Mrs. Cummings Talks. In declaring her willingness to allow colored people to become in possession of the property Mrs. Cummings gave out the following interview to a representative of The Am "I am perfectly willing to either sell, lease or rent "Towers Grove" to colored people. My property is quite valuable and I have suffered much imposition and great losses since my big investments at Elberon and Long Branch. I have been the pioneer improver of the finest part of Elberon avenue, having built what was known and frequently published for a number of years in the Herald and other New York papers as the 'show place' at Elberon. "That was before I fell in the hands of plotters, who have, for sinister reasons, undermined the value of my property, and I have suffered such great losses that I have concluded to bring it into its real value and am willing to let it be used for a hotel, cafe, automobile resort for a charitable institution. I offer 'Towers Court' for sale or lease, and I believe that a hotel or restaurant in Elberon for colored people would pay." "Towers Court" is described by its owner as a summer home located in the most fashionable multi-millionaire section, close to the ocean and the only property on Elberon avenue having an open and unobstructed view of the ocean and landscape for miles." It is said that the millionaries have not learned of the intentions of the former actress to turn over the property to Negroes. MRS. FRANCIS ELECTED. Nearby to Tew New York Age. Sr. PAUL, Minn., July 15. As a result of a recent election held by the Minnesota State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which met in St. Paul, Minn., June 27 and 28, Mrs. W. T. Francis was unanimously chosen president, to succeed Mrs. I. E. Gibbs, who was made honorary president. Mrs. Francis, who is well known in the East, is one of the younger club workers, which emphasizes the fact that her ability to lead the forces is recognized as a more important factor than experience. The program of the Minnesota Federation is an exhibition of up-to-date club work APPOINTMENT RESINDED Special to The New York Age. Washington, D. C., July 17.—The appointment of William L. Houston, past grand master of the Order of Old Fellows, as a member of the Board of Education has been rescinded. It is said that a prominent Washingtonian who attended the recent Republican-national concession looked up Mr. Houston's record for the two years he practiced law in Chicago with Vilasel II Morris. It was found out that he was a registered voter in that city, which disqualified him here. The vacancy will not be filled until September, when the judges will have returned from their vacations.

Brockton, Mass., July 16.—From a Pullman porter to one of the biggest property owners in the city in five years is the jump which Watt Terry, a Negro, has made. When papers passed last week conveying to Terry the famous Checkerton and Cheston apartments, valued at $150,000, he became the owner of $500,000 worth of the choice-t property in the city. Terry has had a meteoric career, and where he once made $7 a week he is now making hundreds. Coming here from his home in Virginia when a young man, he took a position as coachman for a well-known physician. Then he went to the Y. M. C. A. as assistant janitor and became interested in the evening school. He enrolled, and studied diligently for a long time. Finally he went away and was a Pullman porter for awhile; then he returned to Brockton and went to work in a shoe factory, starting at $7 a week. He is superintendent of the Messiah Baptist Sunday School and is active in church work. HOME FOLKS HONOR "PROPHET." special to JEW YORK ACA MALDEN, W. Va., July 16—Learning that he is to visit his old home at Malden, W. Va., and the West Virginia Colored Institute located at Institute, a few miles from here, the citizens of this place with one accord have sent to Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, an urgent invitation requesting him to deliver an address at Malden. The text of the invitation sent to him is as follows: We, the undersigned citizens of the Town of Malden, W. Va., learning that you will be in your old home on July 24, 1912, and wishing to hear you speak on some educational topic of your own school, most cordially invite you to speak to us on the above date at a time that will suit you. You are, no doubt, aware that many of the citizens of your old home have never heard you speak, since you have never spoken in Malden. We hope to have that pleasure now. Attached to the invitation are the names of nearly every important citizen of Malden. Dr. Washington visits West Virginia primarily for the purpose of delivering a series of lectures before the Summer School of the West Virginia Colored Institute. From West Virginia he is to go to Hampton Institute, where he will be present during the closing sessions of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. He will speak also at Newport News to the colored employees of the government shipyards located at that place. DEMOCRATIC PARTY. VOTES VO. VOTES VO. BUTTING IN WHERE HE IS NOT WANTED. ANGRY, WANTS TO SHOOT People Tire of Mypocrite Who Spends a Large Part of His Time Trying to Stir up Racial Strife. Special to The Agr. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 10.—Gov. Cole L. Blease, who has been preaching race hatred and making rabid speeches in favor of mob law ever since his election as governor of South Carolina, is now being charged with being a notorious grafter, and the citizens of South Carolina who believe in good government are clamoring for the resignation of this "southern gentleman." Evidence was given before the special investigating committee of the South Carolina Legislature, which concluded its work at Augusta, Ga. Saturday, in which Blease is charged of graft ranging from traffic in pardons to rake-offs from "blind tigers." The ire of Blease is said to be aroused over the serious charges made against him, and he is going about denouncing Attorney Felder of Atlanta, one of the principal witnesses against him, Judge Ira Jones, who is candidate for Governor, and others who have been active in substantiating their previous assertions that Blease was not fit to be Governor of South Carolina. Such terms as "gutter snipes" and "political prostitutes" are being used by the executive, and he has temporarily forgotten his favorite theme, "White Supremacy." Blease a Peculiar Character. Cole L. Blease became Governor at the beginning of last year. His term has been marked by strife and denunciation. In the North he has been known because of the row he raised because the school histories of South Carolina did not charge General Sherman with burning the city of Columbia on the march to the sea; for his alleged advocacy of lynching as punishment for Negroes, and for his frequent application of the shorter and uglier word to editors and others who disapproved of him. Blease is forty-three years old. He is slim and tall and has plenty of black hair and a black moustache. When Blease tried for the governorship he defeated four other candidates. The campaign wa described as the bitterest since the days of Tillman. Most of the clergymen and THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1912. ATIC VOTE VII. G IN" WHERE HE IS NOT mepopers brought him, but he had a big following of factory hands and country people, and the city of Charleston, which wanted more liberal liquor laws, gave him a great majority. One of the first things Blease did as Governor was to start a scrap with the Supreme Court, which is a sacred institution in the Palmetto State. The law and the Constitution say that special Circuit Court judges shall be designated by the Supreme Court and appointed by the Governor. Blease directed the Supreme Court to designate whomever he should name. Later Blease gave out a statement saying that Ira B. N. Jones, former Supreme Court Justice, had threatened to kill him, and still later the two men had a list fight. Jones expects to oppose Blease for the governorship this fall. In South Carolina the Governor has free pardoning power? Blease's enemies accused him of abusing it to let out criminals who should be kept in prison. It was on the State dispensary issue that Blease go into his fight with Thomas B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney who recently has been co-operating with Burus' detectives to catch the Governor. Felder's first charge was that Blease when a State Senator had worked for the liquor interests and in one instance had got $4,000 for serving them in the Legislature. Last fall leaders of the opposition to Governor Blease in the Legislature threatened to impeach him. He scared them off by saying that if impeached he would be elected to the United States Senate. "The House of Representatives sat upon Governor Blease in January last when it voted to expunge from its journal all except the first two paragraphs of the Governor's message vetoing a libel act which he didn't think strong enough. The message was a hot attack upon the newspapers of South Carolina. The Governor said that the press had become the "assassin of private reputation," that it uttered "lies by the most unscrupulous liars and character thieves that ever disgraced a State," and that if the proposed libel bill which allowed a newspaper to plead an apology in mitigation of damages should become a law it would cause bloodshed. In his last annual message Blease advocated a law to prevent white persons from teaching Negroes. "We boast that we have no social equality in South Carolina," he said, "yet white people are teaching in Negro schools who are associating with the pupils and teaching them that they are as good as white people. Not long ago a white woman, and a good-looking one, was seen walking on a Negro school ground with one arm around a Negro boy and the other around a Negro girl. What do you expect to be the outcome of this kind of conduct? Stop it, and stop it now. * Please's alleged intimate relations with colored women of ill repute were told in The Age a few months ago. BEAUTIFUL FLORAL TRIBUTES Dr. Brooks Delivers Sermon, Animated by Local Minister—Husband Receives Telegrams and Letters of Sympathy. The funeral of the late Mrs. Mollie Roberts, wife of Dr. E. P. Roberts, was held Sunday afternoon at 12.30 o'clock from St. Mark's M. E. Church. The church was crowded with friends of the deceased, and many were unable to obtain admisston. The funeral sermon was delivered by Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Church, who extolled the high character of Mrs. Roberts and commented on her ideal home life, which was marked by unselfishness and a great devotion to husband and mother. The Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, the Rev. Horace G. Miller and the Rev. W. R. Lawton also officiated. Resolutions of sympathy were read from the African Redemption Society. The choir of St. Mark's sang several selections with Eugene C. Jackson at the organ, and Miss Minnie Brown rendered "Abide with Me." George Ledbetter also sang a solo.

Wesley Lane of West 132d street, had charge of the funeral. Mrs. Roberts died Tuesday, July 9, after a lingering illness of two years' duration. In 1910 she accompanied her husband abroad, and it was thought that the trip would greatly improve her health. After her return she was convalescent for a short time only. She found it necessary to undergo an operation in May, 1911, and from that time until her death she was in ill health. Telegrams of sympathy have been received by Dr. Roberts from Mrs. Booker T.

Burghardt DuBois, who has been here delivering a series of lectures on Negro history at the summer school of the West Virginia Colored Institute, takes a fling at the irresponsible newspaper correspondents who mentioned his name in connection with the presidency of Howard University without authority. "I never was a candidate for the presidency of Howard University," he told a representative of Dur Ver, "and would not have accepted it in the very improbable event of its having been offered me." A glance at the colored newspapers of the United States will show that the editors—North, East, South and West—are supporting President Taft for reelection. The colored journalists have no love at all for Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, and point to his anti-Negro record while President of Princeton. As for Roosevelt and the third party movement, while many of the editors profess high regard for the Colonel, they coincide in the opinion that Mr. Taft is entitled to another term, and that Col. Roosevelt should work for the success of the Republican party, which has so signally honored him in the past, instead of doing his utmost to create a wide division in the G. O. P. ranks. The Age reproduces a few articles from colored papers with a view to giving the sentiment of the Negro journals: (Illinois Idea.) Rosemary will not commit it is just as well, for Teft can also will be elected without his aid, by the people of this country that are opposed to Wilson's free trade policy of tariff, for revenue only." (Indianapolis Freeman.) "Some think to see an opportunity in the Roosevelt party, the Bull Moose party as it is called; at least they seek, to be indifferent to it and Mr. Taft's party as a choice, thinking they will far equally as well in either. This is whole problematical. The proposed new party has, as yet, signified no intention of holding out inducements to Negro voters. In the nature of things this will not come, since Mr. Roosevelt is essentially a politician and therefore will take no backward" steps. Progression is the instance, we think, will be to leave the Negroes severely alone as to promise of office and increased civil opportunities. This being the case, it ought not be difficult to decide where the Negroes rightfully belong. Analyze the parties without bias as to promises, performances, and so forth. "Unfortunately, conditions, considered nationally, do not permit the Negroes much range of thought in the matter of changing parties. They would be foolish to act without inducement to cause even they grow hoary haired in one party." (Philadelphia Tribune.) "Conditions are more dangerous to day than they were when Grover Clever land was elected, because a Republic Senate and House held him in cheek. But to-day the House at the National Capital is Democratic, and some say the Senate will be, too, in the near future, and with a Southern Democratic president in the chair, who can tell what we happen." It has been the contention of the South that the War Amendments ought to be repealed. With a Southern Democrat like Woodrow Wilson as president together with the House and Senate in the hands of the Democratic party, is it not reasonable to suppose that efforts will be made to rob the colored citizen of his franchise. To-day the South nullifies the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments on their hardness, and strange: it may seem, there are a number of pretty intelligent men of color who profess to favor the election of Gov. Wilson to the presidency; men who can nothing for the present and future wife of their own people, but who thir they see a chance to get a little prominence, a little money and, perhaps, little office. (Pittsburgh Courier.) "We see and hear a great deal about a Democratic League, composed of Nigroes, who have pledged themselves to the Democratic ranks. Such politic activity would give us little concern were it not for the opportunity of the Democratic party to elect a President: the coming fall. "We suggest that the Negroes who are running after Democratic jobs: Washington and elsewhere, stop less enough to ask themselves who is Mr. Salem M. E. Church. Sunday, all the services at Salem were well attended. The Rev. James occupied his pulpit, at both services. Several additions were made to the church, among them was Miss Linggia, a popular literary and humane woman of Harlem. At 2.30 the Sunday school and Young Men's Bible class were in session.

NAIL O PARKER, Agenta Phone 7682 Morning 145 West 135th St. The management of the Victoria apartment house, located at the southeast corner of 138th street and Lenno avenue, announce, that 'hereafter the structure will be known as the Victoria Grand, and in the future it will be conducted as a first-class apartment hotel. John S. Montague & Company, managing agents of the property, in making public that "the Victoria Grand" will be conducted as a first-class apartment hotel for the accommodation of respectable colored people have given out the following information for the public's benefit. The Victoria Grand fronts one hundred feet on Lenox avenue and one hundred feet on 183th street, and is seven stories in height. The building is lightly lit, with a large front brick and terra cotta to match, the entrance is through a heavy elaborately carved doorway, into the vestibule and entrance hall with reception room adjoining, which are floored in Mosaic walnutsating in Italian marble. Richly decorated and furnished. The floors are covered with 5-8 square rooms and bath, butterfly pantry and private hall. Every room is perfectly lighted by means of wide courts and almost every one commands an outlook on avenue or street. There is a telephone service throughout the building, with a large apartment, Electric and was light, hall and elevator service day and night. These are without doubt the finest and most conveniently arranged apartments in the entire country. In view of the many erroneous statements concerning the management of the Victoria, we deem it necessary to state that we have made every effort to work with many additional improvements, with a moderate price of $20 to $60 per month. Renta Have Been Lowered. John S. Montague & Company have succeeded after a conference with the owners of the Victoria in bringing about a reduction of rents which will greatly benefit the present and future occupants. This firm is directly opposed to raising the rent, and is therefore the new scale of rentals, with the exception of the ground floors and four 7 room apartments, which range from $60 to $66 per month, which are being reserved for business purposes. The rents are $55 a month. These rents are positively a great reduction on the original rents paid by the former white tenants, which ranged from $34 to $70 a month. Special prices have been made for the summer months and arrangements have been made for single or in small suites, with bath, from $3 to $650 a week. Arrangements have also been made to open a first class dining room on the first floor of the building for private dining rooms. Private dining rooms may be arranged for special parties and banquets. For further particulars the agents direct that interested ones apply to A. Vico in Grand 8662 Lenox avenue, Phane Harlem, $345. NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. NEW ROCHELLLE N.

Regular Correspondent of THE AGK RALEIGH, N. C., July 10—Raleigh for the past week has been much alive and the new name "Wideawake" has given by her enterprising citizens was greatly in evidence. The ladies of the Household of Ruth, who came from all parts of North Carolina to the fourteenth annual session of the District Household of Ruth No. 10, seem to have brought new life with them. The grand session convened Monday evening at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Mrs. A. L. Alexander, P. M. N. G. of Household No. 10, Raleigh, presided over the great body of ladies with much dignity and skill, showing that she was well acquainted with the duties of her office. After delivering a scholarly address she introduced to the audience Col. Jas. H. Young This gentleman spoke upon the principles of Old Fellowship throughout the world, and then introduced to the audience the Hon. Jas. L. Johnson, whom he said was the mayor of the best city in the world. Mayor Johnson after expressing his appreciation of the very remarks made by Col. Young, extended a welcome to the delegates and visitors on behalf of the citizens which he had the honor to serve as mayor. The able address of the mayor was responded to by G. Joseph Toussaint, N. X. Sadie Toussaint, Dr. R. H. Williams, on behalf of the local lodge of Old Fellowship made the delegates welcome to everything in possession of the local lodge and if there was anything that they could not find the various committees would try to arrange as to satisfy their every want. Mrs J. H. Branch represented the Invaders with an address, which very much pleased the little folks. The Rev. P. R. Delvery of the Congregational Church, and many others made able addresses upon some phase of the program. The session of this meeting will long be remembered in Raleigh.

This is a critical period in our history, when our manhood and our wom- hood are assaulted, our rights and privileges seopardized, our women defined by base accusations and our men from distranchise. It is not timely for us to discuss and plan solutions for such subjects as "The Black Slave Traffic," "Eugeniae" "The low Problem, "Our Working Girls," "Land day Ownership," "Our National Scholarship Purch. Fund," that Part of our National Assoc. G. I. should show its observance of the 20th anniversary of freedom, and many other vital topics. Let every delegate come prepared to take part in some of these discussions, for much help may be gained thereby. We are so glad to see that our dear co-workers in California are taking such a strong stand against lynching, especially when we are reminded that in the past twenty-seven years 2,455 Norwegians have been lynched in this country without trial. Shall we hold our own? We are too bad! Not, we appeal to our women in every state to do all in their power to assist in the effort to destroy lawlessness of every kind. Let us do our part as well as to appeal to the brained-minded and fair-thinking people to more insist in this fair land of ours. Let us come together and strengthen the bands of sympathy between the various organizations, and plan and build the work which shall be an incentive to all women to join us for the future.

The new chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mr. C. D. Hillee, in his first deliverance sounded not only the keynote of success but a trumpet call to the Republican hosts to rally to the party as they have done in the past. We give here Mr. Hillee's short but sufficient statement of the political situation, as follows: The Republican party approaches the President's campaign with confidence in the solemnity of the race and in the integrity and ability of the candidate who represent that cause. Progress with order in good doctrine for the Republican party to day, as it has been since the day of its birth. Real progress is not a theory, but an achievement. No American citizen should be deceived into an exchange of his birthright for a vision. The progress of the nation toward better things does not come from declaration, but from actual results. More has been accomplished in the last three years under the administration of President Taft than was ever before accomplished by an American President in the same period of time. A distinct line of demarcation between the republican party and the Democratic party is the platforms adopted at Chicago and Baltimore for a correct of future progress through a record of achievement; the other is a promise-containing a denial of the good that has been done. Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the Constitution, the Republican party builds its structure of opinion. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, betrays its recensional quality by denying the right of Congress, a right again and again confirmed by the Supreme Court, to establish protective duties for the benefit of American industries. It declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now called by those who advocate the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary. It would leave the individual demeaned in the possession of those rights declared intolerable under the Constitution. It is refreshing to have the issues of the campaign so eloquently and elegantly stated in four short paragraphs by the new chairman of the Republican Committee, when so many others have failed to do it in columns on columns of space, too long to read and too involved to understand. "Real progress is not a theory, but an achievement," he says. "Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the Constitution the Republican party builds its structure of optimism." The Democratic party "declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual." Indeed, the whole history of the Democratic party is a declaration of antagonism to the progress of the nation and the rights of the individual. Its history has been made by Southern Democrats, and Woodrow Wilson is a Southern politician as tenacious of Democratic history and methods as Hoke Smith of Georgia. "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL". The Philadelphia Record, among the cleanest and braiest of Democratic daily newspapers, and which believes in Woodrow Wilson on four sides of his six feet of Democratic bumptiousness, can have no other than a philanthropic interest in the fortunes of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his Big Sig. The Record says: "Thou shalt not steal" thunders the modern Moses from Sagamore Hill, and then he enters into negotiations with his friends for stealing doctors, for stealing the Republican name for the election of Roosevelt electors, and for trading the support of local tickets for support on the Presidential ticket if any such trading can be done with Democrats. This is the role of the higher political mortality appear to be up to every trick of the political trade and to have only a little more struggle than a Taimany boss or a member of our corrupt and criminal combination unseparating under the name of Republican." "Thou shalt not lie" is also an inseparable companion of "This is not steal" and yet Col. Roosevelt says he believes in the latter while denouncing the force of the first. Three times he declared he would not be a Republican can candidate again, and then it lay after a large number of delegates had been elected, pledged to the renomination of President Taft, and when nobody expected and a majority of his friends hoped he would not do it, he threw his hat into the ring scramble for delegates. In doing that he stole the truth from himself, the meanest sort of theft. Then, when outgeneralled for delegates and "whipped to a frazzle" for votes to dominate the Chicago convention, he bolted the Republican party and is trying to get a party of his own. The Negroes who are, or who are thinking of, flirting with the Roosevelt movement, should search themselves and the movement with an X-ray searcher. Already in Texas, Louisiana and South Carolina, it is announced, Cecil Lyon, Pearl Wight and John G. Capers, who wrecked the Republican party and drove Negro members out of it, are moving to organize a third party. The movement promises to be general throughout the South, and Negroes will be allowed to have no part in it. The old Republican party is still the best for the Negroes simply because it is the best for them. THE PROGRESSIVE BANDANA PARTY. In our youth, when the memory of the days of slavery was more than a fact to joke by the black women everywhere in the South, and very generally, wore the red bandana, a big handkerchief, as a head covering. It was really the sign of the black woman, and stood for good nature and good cooking, with the usual two hundred pounds of solid flesh that the black women of those days seem to have run to as naturally as Dutch women do now. The African, like the Asiatic, women run to rainbow colors in headgear and clothing, and while the headgear of the black women of the old days was invariably red the dresses were often red, white and blue, the National colors that make up the flag, "the Star-Spangled Banner" that so proudly waves over the just and the otherwise of the red race, the white race and blue race,—blue standing for black, as the black race has been the home of mystery and contention since the foundation of the government. For sentimental reasons we have a kindly feeling for the bandana as headgear. In the second Cleveland campaign in 1888, Senator Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, was his running mate and went down in defeat with him. They called Senator Thurman "the old Roman," because he had grown gray and famous in the service of the Democratic party as an honest man even when constrained to support dishonest policies of the Democratic party; and we do not remember an honest policy the Democratic party has had since it first had power, in 1829, under Andrew Jackson, who was as crooked as a ram's horn. Anyhow, the red bandana was much in evidence in the campaign of 1888, because Senator Thurman always used one to mop his massive nile head when his thoughts came thin and his perspiration came thick, which was very often. But Senator Thurman and his red bandana did not reach the Vice-Presidential chair. The people did not fancy them, any more than the Baltimore convention fancied Champ Clark and his houn' dawg. The public fancy is a very uncertain quantity in and out of politics. The Progressives of Roosevelt who holted the Chicago convention and adopted the bandana as a standard to which the discontented can rally may find the standard a hoodoo instead of a voodoo. It is announced that the Rooseveltans will gather in convention at Chicago, August 5, but so many existing organizations have laid claim to prior right in the name "Progressive" that the Colonel has announced that the name does not count. They are free to gather in every State where two or more can gather under the standard of the hoodana and when they reach Chicago they will be able to hit upon and adopt a name to go with the standard that will "titit the case." That is a wise conclusion, but not as wise as would have been the civilization to remain in the Republican party and fight for the reforms they contend for and the Republican party stands for. It is not wisdom nor gratitude in a man or set of men to strive to strike down the party in which they were born and which has honored them more than they have honored it. They helped to make the party what it ought to be, but the party gave them opportunity to make themselves all that they are. There is no logic by which a square deal can be justified by a square deal or speech. No one should know that better than Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The Bandana Party. If Mingse Sunders, dressed in a uniform of United States Soldier, goes with a stacked bushel line, with the same jinned to his bushels, killed by the Brownville police should be pointed in the center of the standard it would symbolize the reckless contempt of law and public opinion for which the Bandana Party stands. FAILURE OF "WHITE HOPE" It has long been the boast of Englishment that the sur never sets on the British flag and that the sound of the British war drum is heard around the globe. We once heard an Englishman declare solemnly that an Englishman would chase a pound note around the globe and be satisfied when he got back home if he had realized six per cent. interest on it. That is the spirit that has conquered arid rules with the avaricious greed and brutality of Shylock a large portion of mankind in the four quarters of the earth. And the British spirit is the American spirit. The rights of others are not weighed against the desire to possess what others possess. It is a spirit, however, that breeds retaliation, as the galeaded jade will wince and the worm trod upon will turn. "Take up the white man's burden," sings Rudyard Kipling, who thinks as an East Indian mystic and writes like a selfish, greedy Englishman. theless, who have been and are the The English speaking races, none-bulwarks of the Protestant religion rather than the Christian philosophy are not only bad losers but poor rulers of alien peoples. They are worse in this respect when they lose to black and off-color people than to white races other than their own; and there are as many tribes of the whites races as of the black, the red and the brown In the South Pacific, as in the North Atlantic, in Asia and Africa, as if the English speaking races were awakened by an electric current, the victory of John Arthur Johnson, the black pugilist, over James John Jeffries, at Reno, July 4, 1911, aroused them to the fear of the black man, and everywhere the cry aloud went abroad that "it would never do for black men to whip white men" even in a brutal prize ring, and the fight pictures were shut out of everywhere that the law and public opinion could accomplish it, especially was this done in European Africa. Johnson's single victory had the same shocking, awful influence on the English speaking peoples towards Africa and the black peoples that the Japanese victory over the savage Russian hordes had on the rest of Europe and America towards the red, the yellow and the black people of Asia. The fright that came over the white races everywhere in both cases was the same, and remains the same. When Johnson faced Flynn at Las Vegas, July 4, of this month, the event had so far been discredited by the white newspapers of the world that it was reduced to the commonplace tameness that petered out in the niggardly announcements on the finish of the fight. The fact that the white hope was a white failure from first to last, and fought foul in nearly every round, helped to chill the news on the wires which would have sizzled and seintillated the white heat of Jupiter Magnus if Flynn had mincemeated Johnson as Johnson mincemeated Flynn. We despise a coward and sneak race as we do a coward and sneak individual. For 1912 years the white races have dominated the black and brown races of Asia and Africa and the islands of the seas; they have done it by a well-defined spiritual ordination which tests men on the simple principle of Christian philosophy, the primary test of which is the common brotherhood of man. An account of the stewardship has been demanded of the white races, and therefore fear of black and brown people has fallen upon white people everywhere, because "conscience doth make cowards of us all," who have robbed the weak, murdered the strong and enshied the widows and orphans. The white hope everywhere should look to its faith that has devoured the charity which is "greatest of these," in dealing with the red and black people of America, the black, red and yellow people of Asia and the black people of Africa. In all of those countries the people are aroused as never before in the Christian area to the fact that they have been conquered, enslaved and robbed by the white races as the white pagans of Greece and Rome did it before them, because the schoonster and preacher are doing their work in all lands, because a machine gun makes all soldiers the same size, dead or alive, and because steam and electricity have belted the earth as in the tools of the serpent and given mankind a common language in the telegraphic code and a common market by the railways and steamships. Let the white hope look to its faith, its history, and measure its charity that covers a multitude of sins by the law of "The Law Not." DO YOU WANT TO BE THE TENTH MAN? No one needs to be told how to succeed in life more and oftener than Negro people, not that they are more backward than other sorts of people or less keen in the perception and acquisition of useful knowledge, but rather because they are comparatively a new people—children yet in age and in possession of the liberty which places the book of knowledge and the opportunity of the community life within their reach as in that of others of the citizenship. We seek to drive home the truth for them that there is no royal road to learning or to wealth, and that what the father and mother have learned in the school room and in the hard school of experience cannot be transmitted to the children. Each one must begin at the feet of the master and learn for himself. It is a long and tedious process, requiring many years of laborious work and sacrifice on the part of students and parents, but each must do it for himself or grow up in ignorance and be compelled to earn his place in the world as an unskilled laborer to whom the higher rewards and pleasures of living are denied. American advertisers, those who have something to sell, are among the most intelligent and shrewd people in the world. They know how to appeal to the people they desire to reach. That is a great power. In the advertising pages of a popular magazine we find the following wisdom tersely stated: "Knowledge is the straight road to a thinking job. Efficiency engineers have proved that not more than one man in ten uses ideas in his work. The ordinary man lives in a circle of routine, doing what some thinker tells him to do and letting his unused mental power go to waste. Nine out of ten men would never rise, and they wonder why. But the tenth man knows that success comes from energy mixed with ideas. He makes clear thinking a daily habit. He studies the living ideas on which civilization stands and gets to be "the man who knows. Men like this rise to the thinking jobs. Be a tenth man. Read, and make your reading count." The man of ten who knows best how to do anything whatever will be singled out from the nine to do the most difficult portions of the work or to superintend it, and thus have a more independent and secure employment and receive higher compensation than the nine. But this tenth man can never pull himself out from the nine men unless he has piled up useful knowledge from his youth up, has a trained mind and a steady hand and is not afraid of work—not afraid to take hold of and do what the nine men cannot do, or desire to shirk. The tenth man, the man who knows, who is ready, who is willing, usually has more work than he can do and gets the best of compensation. Be the tenth man. EDITORIAL NOTES The Republican convention at Chicago and the Democratic convention at Baltimore and the Phobibion convention at Atlantic City had a temperate time of it, in keeping with the "dog days" of June and July, with some of the fierceness that only occurs in human affairs at stated periods of the cycle movement; but the Democrats who warred among themselves at Baltimore, including Tammany Hall fighters and the Smith-Nugent bolters in New Jersey, are held in the Woodrow Wilson wagon as fast as they connect. The Democrats do things that they. They fight among themselves over what they want and how to get it, use fighting language and sometimes smash a head in a shind, but when it is all over, when they decide upon what they want, they stop fighting and pull together to win. The Republican "progressives" of the Bundana party are not as wise as the "progressives" of the Democratic Hag. John G. Capers of South Carolina, Pearl Wight of Louisiana and Cecil Lyon of Texas, three National Republican committeemen who owe the Republican party everything and whom the Republican party owes nothing, are among the men who bolted the Republican organization in Chicago and will, it is announced, follow the fortunes of Col. Roosevelt and the Randanna party. And those three men are traitors and ingrates in another sense. Mr. Capers succeeded the Talbots, Wight the William Pitt Kellogg and Lyon the Norris Wright Cuney Republican organizations in which a white man had as fair a chance as a black man. In destroying the Republican organizations of their states and in crowding black men out of them they have pursued that line of conduct which has destroyed and destroys every man who pursues it. Ingratitude is the meanest and commonest of human crimes. NOTE AND COMMENT. Heaftier New Jersey milk drinkers are to get their fill in bottles of uniform standard size. It appears that milk dealers have been using bottles of "any old size" and piling up unlawful pennies. It is difficult to cheat a Jersey man out of anything or prevent him from cleaning up. It is the same in politics as in milk. American athletes at Stockholm, in the Olympic games, have come it over all the athletes of the world in physical power and training. The decline of the British in these respects is one of the most吓张able showing of summer-distanced the world. The role of the world has passed from the East to the West. The Southern Workman for Jumassas. The life of a librarian illustrates as well as it is the need for this sort of service. He was born in Virginia whose ancestors and been sent to the United States of America slaves days naturally labored for all work of the band with the script. Monroe College therefore offered degrees in Greek and Latin and it was but gave no instruction in trades the tilling of the soil, the digging of any other practical thing. The thought was to exploit the native African as he had been exploited in America. And yet the University Educated Negro is as much needed as the Industrial Institute Educated Negro. The Southern Workman, which devotes its efforts almost exclusively to Negro and Indian education, says: "The difficulty of securing justice for the Indian seems not to grow less with the passing of the years." The like difficulty seems to be true also in the case of the Negro. It is the business of the Negro to learn from the history of the Indian races that he must not leave it to others to secure justice for him, but take the lead himself in securing it. In every situation where it is his business to do it he should boase himself and his job, and not delegate them to others to boase. The National Education Association, representing more than 15,000 educators in convention at Chicago, July 10, and the National Prohibition party, in convention at Atlantic City, July 11, recommended among other things, "a uniform Federal Law for marriage and divorce." The Age advocated the adoption of such a law ten years ago. No law is more needed or would produce more beneficial results. The Christian home is the bedrock of the Christian Church and Nation; the home in its marriage and divorce relations should be governed by National law. Talking about the tipping system, The Outlook says: "One of the most perilous Americans abroad is the man who flings money away without regard to reason or system. He demoralizes servants, who accept his generosity, but regard it as a sign of a low origin and of sudden wealth. He raises the standard of living; and is detested alike by, the native of the country in which he plays the part of Croesus and by his own countrymen, whom he makes travel more expensive." But he is "one of the most pernicious Americans" at home before he exhibits himself and sudden wealth abroad. Hotels are among the best paying enterprises, but most of them "stick it" to their patrons for lodging and keep, including the part payment, in tips, of their help. The help should receive proper pay and there should be a law to compel hotel proprietors to pay it. Atlantic City will hereafter be governed by a commission of five men, in the effort to secure better government. Ten candidates ran, and it was hoped that Dr. P. L. Hawkins, who secured a place on the ticket in the first, or sitting vote, would win, but he ran last, with 2,154 votes to his credit, in a total vote of $8,556. Dr. Hawkins is one of the most popular Negroes of Atlantic City, which was a very large resident Negro population along with a considerable floating one. The news发布会 declare that many Negroes refused to vote for Dr. Hawkins because of his age. The old machines — the Lacharach and Kuehne—who will control the commission. If the reported defection was the cause of Dr. Hawkins' defeat it is much to be regretted, as the Negroes of Atlantic City need and should have representation on the commission. When is the Negro going to begin to be loyal to himself? Col. Bryan in his Commander scores with large hunks of sarcasm Col. Watterson of the Louisville Courrier-Journal, who recently, in like sort, scored Col. Bryan, but both will work for the election of Woodrow Wilson, whom neither wanted for President. And Col. Harvey of Harper's Weekly, will do so also, although he turned on Gov. Wilson after Gov. Wilson turned on him and Col. Watterson when the campaign for delegates to the Baltimore convention was in flower. Their determination to stick to their party and support their candidate, although they dislike him, is more creditable to them than the position of Col. Bryan, who bolted from Wilson in this convention would finally bolt to Bryan. Anhow, the three Colonels, each with a newspaper at his back, are pledged to support Gov. Wilson whom they dispise and who desplays them. And that is a nasty situation for the four of them. --- When the thermometer soars to 100 degrees from on high and 100 degrees from below in New York, as it frequently does, tenement house life comes as near being "shell fire" as the most sinful creature could be punishable for in this world or the next. To tell a dweller in New York that there is no such thing as "shell fire" is provocation sufficient to bring on a war of words liable to result in any sort of violence; and yet the International Bible Students' Association, in convention at Washington, July 8, when the weather was as hot from the sun above and the stored up heat of the pavements below as flesh could stand without being bolted as an eel in the pan, unanimously adopted a resolution, "unservedly repudiating as thoroughly scriptural the teaching of a place, state or condition of "shell fire and brimstone for the torment of the wicked" in the convention, and the majority of ministers of all protestant denominations of the United States have privately repudiated the "shell fire theory, but for supposedly good reasons had hesitated to inform their congregations. It was the sense of the connotation that on this account thousands and perhaps tens of thousands were being driven into skepticism and insidality." --- The man with the double face and character is found in all relations of life; sometimes in the home, in the church, in the state, but wherever found he is a mystery to others and a nuisance to himself. A great many queer and unusual things happen in New Jersey, so it should not have surprised the Mercer County authorities to find that Virginia Russell, who is serving a nine months' work house sentence for street crime as a man and an inmate, is the savior of the shades of the house occupying a cell in the female ward since last April. Virginia is colored has a tabloid voice, rings well and can cook, iron and dance. Not long ago she 'd堕下' at an amateur show in one of the local theaters. "Although he has a somewhat heavy board, the imposter has succeeded in keeping it closely shaven white in the workhouse, presumably by the use of scissors. "The man's deception was discovered accidentally by a woman prisoner who was playing checkers with him last Saturday. He had neglected to crop off his whiskers that day and the woman told one of the attendants she believed Virginia to have been involved in an investigation and Virginia was removed from the woman's wing, where for several months he had occupied a cell." Anyhow the voice should match the sex. The Philadelphia Tribune has a philosopher on its staff who signs himself "Just Gone." In a recent issue of the Tribune he says: "There are some among us who seem to be worried because of the evident steady growth of color prejudice. They should remember that the proper thing to do is to stop worrying and bend their energies to improve conditions. Other classes have been as much despised as are we. None more strictly so than the Jew. For a Christian to associate with Jew years ago was considered a grading and yes by our elders and the Jewish Federation but not unseen it. The surf or Russia is not deprived of his rights because of his color, nor is the frishman because of his brogue. The underlying cause in all such cases is condition, such as by comparison shows one class of people to be stronger than another. We must, therefore, develop our powers by all the means within our reach. This we must do with our own energy. Many of us grow enthusiastic over white people' business, but show little or no interest in affairs which concern us directly. We allow vice to flourish without an effort to check it; wrongs to be plotted against us without striving to eliminate them and fail them in church and civil life to pursue the even tenor of their ways while we smile; talk of their smart tricks, but make no organized effort to stop them in their mad career. As though unmindful of the fact that these things effect conditions." And it should not be overlooked that Negroes have as much color prejudice as other sorts of people and have as nasty a way of showing as in to find the Negro thinks and speaks well of another Negro, before his face or behind his back. --- The Christian Recorder says: "Following the lead of Chicago, Philadelphia has appointed a commission to study the social evil, and the conditions creating vice in this community. This is a step forward. The Chicago Commission had a colored member—our Bishop C. T. Shaffer. It is unfortunate that Philadelphia, with a larger colored population, with a more diverse presentation. For the vice question greatly concerns our people; not that we are given more to vice than others, but that, being poor, as a rule, many of our neighborhoods have forced upon them conditions which they are unable to prevent. It is notorious that a great deal of the vice of the white race is concentrated in colored communities. This condition deserves most careful study, and we are sure that we will be able to understand much of its efficiency because it has no person on it who has studied first hand and knows conditions among our hundred thousand people of color." The best way for a person to get things done for himself needful to be done is to take the lead in talking and doing them, and in a short time the things will be done. The Negro ministers of Philadelphia, and of every other large city in the Union, should be an association in restraint of the social evil. In some cities they already have such, as in Chicago, but all the cities need it. Negroes of the large cities have got to organize themselves and combat immorality crime and poverty as others do it. When they have no organization to be involved in all of the uplift work in the community and to share in the money set apart by public appropriation or charitable benevolence to aid in improving and relieving immoral, criminal and indigent conditions. --- The Tuskegue Student quotes the following from Dr. Washington's talk to the Summer School members, at Tuskegue Institute, June 21: "How often is it true that you see a schoolhouse that is a little old building out in a field somewhere—in a lonely spot, with no shelter near it. There is no sense in that. There is no reason why that building should not be alive with the activities that concern the people in that community. There is no reason why it should not be like many of the homes of the pupils in that community. In many cases, if you go inside, you will find that there is no a taught temple there that has any relationship to the life of the people in that community. It might just as well be located fifty miles from that spot so far as there is any vital connection between the school and the home life. "Whether you are in the city, town or country, study the life of the parents and their activities, and every time you get a chance, make a connection between what you are teaching in the school room and the life of the people. Suppose, for instance, you are a teacher in a school, and you have a problem relating to measurements. Suppose you find a room being plastered by colored materials. Instead of spending the time on a dead problem in a book, take your class, to that room, and let them measure the room, let them figure the cost of lathing, and plastering, not in imaginary room, but in an actual room right there in the city, and these colored materials will begin to wake up and get interested in the problem. You will have an interest in the problem, they never would have had so long as they were dealing with a more book problem." This is high class advice; but there are no dead problems in books, they all had life and no new ones as problems when they were to be published the extent of them was established in the books, with many of them, such as by David Howe. The problems of life are solved in the books, and the problems of life are solved in the books. Ernestson solved them, and in the scientific laboratories, at Marseus, Hurlbart and Edison solved them, before the school teacher, the preacher or the mechanic can apply them to the parents and children they seek to instruct in the rudiments of mind, heart and hand education. CITY DONATES PARK Naguage of Nashville are Presented with Hadley Park—Gedication Exercises Bakeries and Bakery Pies that Whites and Blacks of South Work Side by Side. Special to The New York Aer NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 16.—The colored citizens of Nashville have a park for their exclusive use which is said to be the first of its kind in the United States. It is called Hadley Park and was formally dedicated by the Board of Park Commissioners several days ago. Among those present were: Mayor Hillary E. Howse and Major McWhirter, chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners. Dr. R. F. Boyd made the speech of acceptance on behalf of the Negro citizens. Benjamin F. Carr presided. Mayor Howse paid a high tribute to the Park Commissioners, and during his address was interrupted on several occasions by the applause of the Negro citizens. "I'll declare," he exclaimed, "no city in the country has the colored population that Nashville has. There is a great future for us here, and it makes no difference, in the great struggle now impending, who is elected President of the country, we people here in this section, black and white alike, will go on building up this section, our state and the Nation. White people and black people here in the South will work side by side. We cannot get along without you, and you cannot get along without us." "As chief executive of the city of Nashville, I take great pleasure in extending to you, my colored fellow citizens, this park, the only one of its kind in the United States dedicated to the colored people." Gives Good Advice. In his address Major McWhirter said: "I know of no city that has shown greater consideration for your race in the matter of parks than ours in securing this valuable property, situated as it is, immediately between and approximate to two of the most prominent Negro schools in our Southland. Much will depend on your behavior while visiting the park and with that as the standard you will be judged. It is not difficult to conduct yourselves in such a way as to command respect—and I wish a larger number of young Negroes were here to the school. It is quite easy for some to bring derisive insults, and while doing this, they have very little consideration for those who have a larger degree of self-respect." In his speech of acceptance Dr. Boyd said in part: "Our grateful thanks go out to Mayor Howse for the broad and liberal spirit which he has manifested in co-operating with you in securing this site for our park. We know something of the opposition you have met and overcome. We are thankful to the press of the city and the hundreds of friends who have endorsed the movement. "We who are born and reared in this Southland know that the best class of white citizens are our friends, and we are going to live here in this civilization with prayer and hope. We were born here, and we will live and die here. "We want to assure you and reassure you of the gratitude of my race. We are interested in every movement for the betterment of Nashville, for the whole people of Nashville. You can rely upon us to make Hadley Park all that it should be as a moral force in the life of our people. You may rest assured that our people will support you in carrying out any regulations you may adopt for the management of this park to the end that it will be a safe place for our boys and girls." VALDOSTA GA Regular Correspondent of THE AGE VALDOSTA, GA., July 16—The Knights of Pythias have returned from Columbus, where the Grand Lodge was held. Everything was carried out in grand style. Nearly all officers were re-elected. A plan is on foot to organize Y. M. C. A. Col. C. W. Thomas an important character in this movement. Miss Surphromia Chavise of the city and J. B. Cobb of live Oaks were united in holy wollock on the night of June 26. The ceremony took place at the Penticostal Church God, Dr. J. S. Stafford, the pastor officiated. The reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Strickland on South street. James A. Crocker of Bremington, Ma., was in town last week the inventor of the air locomotive was here selling shares. Wilhelm F. Williams spent a pleasant vacation in Fitzgerald a few days. Dr. E. J. Carter, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, will in a few days to spend his own vocation which is given to him by congregation. He expects to in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Wor- ton, D.C. The New Alamo Theatre is located on the night of July 4 and will be two young men of theatrical arts. Governor Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia and spent a good portion of his life teaching in Georgia and Alabama. Mrs. Wilson was born in Savannah, Georgia. Nothing else needs to be said. Now is the stream of travel from the Buckland at high tide. Hundreds of our young women are awarding into the great city in desirable antigens of their fate have here in store for them. Many of them will compare the light lights and greeties to the dark dulls of their own little country town, and in consequence New York will add her Negro population. The starting may be unexplicious, but will tell the ending be? so many of our young people imagine because they are in a big city they can get in their way they would never think of doing in their home town, and take up any chance acquaintance and not enter thereby. Never was there a greater mistake. Sometimes from sheer luck they fall in with wrong commons, and thus the first serious error is made. Better a thousand times be lonely for a time, girls, than make the blunders which will lead to others for more serious that will凑 you like the proximal spider in the web of his own moving. New York is a busy city; its people are chiefly concerned with their own affairs and are inlined to let strangers severely alone. To be in a great city and yet not of all saline, but better suffer this than take up with associates you would not take away from New York, feeling that the biblical warning, "Evil communications corrupt good morals," a good one to heed. There are plenty of nice people in New York, as elsewhere, who will be glad to meet you and extend the friendly hand you are in search of, but you must bide your time, and until you meet them—keep to yourself! The churches, with their various societies, the Young Women's Christian Association, the White Rose Home, and other similar organizations stand to help girls in just your predicament. The Young Women's Christian Association often has entertainments of a social nature when both men and women are present, and strangers are cordially welcomed. Make yourself known to the Secretary, and tell her you are a stranger. Join the organization, if possible, since the fee is only a dollar, and you will at least have taken a step toward meeting the people who will help you maintain your footing and not start you on the incline that leads to degradation. Attend some church; meet the pastor and tell him you are a stranger and would like to connect yourself with one of the societies of the church; he will be glad to help you and also to get a new worker. Be careful of your make company. Don't go to tales and other places with men where they would not take their own sisters. Don't let them induce you to take alcoholic drinks; decline flattery whether they like it or not; it is for your own good, and don't let them flatter you into believing otherwise. Don't think brace a man is handome and has a smooth tongue he must be a gentleman. He may quite be to the contrary, and you will be your fault if you allow your little head to be turned by all of the pleasing things he may say to you. A man who esteem and respects you will not insist on your doing anything that is contrary to the good old-fashioned teaching you have received from your mother. He will throw the same safeguards around you here that he would save you with your parents. Don't try to be "fast" because you are in New York and you are told you must "keep the pace". Remember that modesty and goodness are the same for a woman the world over, and it will pay you in the end to hold on to them. The world always looks askance at the woman who makes a mistep. Study the following little verse and print it over your bureau: "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, more on not all your Piety nor Wit Shall there be to back cancel half a Line, Not all your Tears wash out a Word of it" The Northeastern Federation of Women's Club will convene at Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Summitt, N.

At the coming Hampton Negro Conference special emphasis will be placed on the importance of men securing active co-operation of the ministers in all community and social uplift work. Of all men who have power in the Negro communities of the South and can get the masses to do or not to do, the ministers head the list. What the minister advises is received by the people with respect. What the minister does is copied widely. The Negro minister is invaluable and those who wish to help improve a city or rural communities that have large numbers of colored people must work with and through the Negro minister. The policy of the conference has been to bring before the race leaders and those who are associated in their work with the colored people the present day problems and facts of Negro life and afford ample opportunity of discussion. This year the program will include the following: Reports from county school supervisors, who are spreading Hampton's idea of increasing the industrial and agricultural efficiency of the man on the land; some facts from the Census of 1910, presented by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United States Bureau of Education, who is an expert in statistical and community work and a devoted student of Negro life and economic conditions; discussions of the work of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which has been carrying on an active campaign for the unification of aim and method in Negro uplift movements; special round-table meetings for the discussion of problems relating to public and private health, agriculture, and religious life; needs and progress in hygiene and sanitation, discussed by Dr. Allen Freeman and Dr. Ernest C. Levy; the relation of the minister and the community in affairs of business, education, and recreation; problems of school administration, and recreation and amusement in rural communities. PITTSBURGH, PA. Regular correspondence of Tumor Ace PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 15—Perhaps the most interesting affair given so far was the second annual dance and musicale by Miss Sara B. Writt, Pittsburgh's leading soprano soloist. Cards of invitation were issued, and all the music-loving folk assembled at Union Labor Temple Theatre and appreciated a well-prepared program. The numbers offered were composed of selections from well-known composers. Miss Writt has that power to charm and thoroughly please an audience with the clearness and sweetness of tone of her voice and that thorough control over every inflection it comes with careful preparation and study. Mme E. Azalia Hackly has recently left the city, having tendered a farewell recital and demonstration of vocal culture. The affair was given at the Carnegie Music Hall and was a great success. During the past weeks, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Writt of the East End issued cards for the thirtieth anniversary of their marriage at their beautiful residence on Dennison avenue. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, while the gifts were both numerous and costly. Dr. and Mrs. Charles V. Butler recently entertained friends at cards. Every game was interesting to the end, and the prizes were won after much hard playing. Among those present were: The Misses Elsie Reed, Emma R. Reed, Carl Spurlock, Bunch Spurlock, Williamiam Talierro, Clodys McKee, Mr. and Mrs. Spurlock, Mrs. T. R. Reed, Mrs. J. W. Reel and Miss Early of Cleveland, O. Dr. Ernest Syphax and wife of Brown's Apartments have as their guests the Misses Oliver from Roanoke, Va. They will remain a great portion of the summer. Miss Blanche Spurlock had as her guest Miss Early, a teacher in the grade schools of Cleveland, O. Miss Early attended some of the society functions while here. Miss Jeannette Washington of Wilkesbarre, Pa., while visiting her brother Harry Washington of this city, was the guest at a party given in her honor. Miss Helen Martineau Grey of Schenectady Heights, a member of the "Diamas," has left the city to spend her vacation with her sister, Mrs. Cahman in Ohio. Miss Gray is in apected back until the latter part of the summer. Miss tibby L. Tibbs, Sandusky street, N. S., graduated from the commercial department of the Allegheny High School. The exercises were held in the Nixon Theatre Thursday evening. Dr. Wm. Morgan Writec, a last year's graduate from the medical department of the University of Pitts- burgh, is now located in Rochester, Pa., where he has an extensive practice. Miss Ella Cecelia Richmond, Monticello street, Homewood, has left the city to spend part of the summer months in Charlottesville, Va. While there she will be a guest of the West family. While in the city the past week Mme. E. Azalia Hackley was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Page. Mme. Hackley gave numerous lessons free in voice culture at the different churches in this city. The past week Mrs. Lizzie Writt had as her guest for one of the national ball games played at this city Miss Sara B. Writt and Mrs. Eddie Johnston. Supper followed at one of the downtown establishments. The Misses Scott of Myresdale will soon give their annual house party, to which will be invited many of the leading young ladies of the city. At the conclusion of the house party their usual dance will follow, which is one of the big events in that place. Miss Blanch Spurlock entertained at cards in honor of her guest. Miss Early of Cleveland. The invited guests included the "Ducks" Club in addition to several other young folks. The numerous clubs in Pittsburgh are each trying to outdo the other in the issuing of invitations while the summers lasts for various sorts of entertainment and amusements. Perhaps the most needy of the men's clubs are the Mercedes, Fergus, Billolaths, Loendi, Chevalliers, and the Monticello Basketball Club, while the young ladies boast of such names and titles as The Ducks, The Modern Dians, the Monticello Girls and the Diana Basketball Girls, all of which are formed by and composed of young women prominent in society. Cards of invitation have been issued by the Modern Dianas for a Japanese Garden Party, which will be given on the spacious lawns of Miss Ila Allan, Homewood. The girls are sparing no pain to make the affair a great success. Refreshments will be served by the Dianas, Miss Elsie R. Reed, president; Miss Allan, treasurer; Miss Emma R. Reed, secretary. The Ducks held its last summer month meeting at the residence of Miss Sara B. Writt, Deniston avenue. The secretary had a good report of the work done by the club during the past winter. The new election of officers left Miss Writt president for the coming term. Thursday morning, June 27, at the Grace Memorial Presbyterian Church, Dr. Wm. G. Cutts and Miss Ada G. Mahoney were united in wedlock by the Rev. Ernest Hall, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, with the Rev. Charles Trusty assisting. TEXAS BUSINESS LEAGUE.

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

(Topeka Plaindealer.) "The Omaha Enterprise, in standing pat for the re-election of President Taft, says: 'The personal ambition of the former President evidently was to rob President Taft of the courtesy and custom which has been accorded other Presidents the country has had of Republican faith. And when he found it impossible for him to succeed his first cry was to split the party. That contention alone should demonstrate that the attitude of Roosevelt is selfish and that he is not int rested in the welfare of the Republican party of the country. If he was interested in the country or the party he would fall in line and help the Republicans of the United States to pile up the biggest majority the country has ever known.' The truth well said. Mr. Roosevelt is for Roosevelt and none other. Should that third party nominate any other candidate than Roosevelt straightway will there be laid plans for a fourth party and on and on until Roosevelt is the head, tail and body of what is left. If advocates of the third term candidate don't believe this is true let her attempt to persuade the colonel to get, out of the way for some honest man." (Central St. Louis) Afro-American.) The Republican platform adopted at Chicago was heartily accepted by the 30 delegates from Missouri, who voted for it. That platform will appeal to all Republicans and voters who are not classed by the platform. Every pledge of the platform of 1988, also adopted at Chicago, has been redeemed by the Republican National administration, which it continued in power, will redeem every pledge of the new platform. The principal offer the Democratic National party has made is a declaration of principles and policies, with the promise to conduct the government in harmony with such declarations. The Republican party has always honored its promises, observed its doctrines and kept up with the most advanced public sentiment concerning governmental duties and responsibilities. Why should a party with such a record—a party of glorious achievements—be abandoned by any man whose vote or Frank Temey. Babylon, N. Y. Ily laid the chamois bag containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and forget them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was fretful 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 in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything, as far as I am concerned, is moving along the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

"The question which is presenting itself to the colored men of the country is, "Shall We Support Wilson?" In answering this question, colored citizens should, first of all ascertain his past relationship in dealing with the public. It should be the aim of every one interested to find out if Gov. Wilson has an antipathy to citizens of color and whether he accepts in good faith the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States and willingly lives up to their drastic provisions. "There can be no question as to Gov. Wilson's pleasing personality and his attitude towards white men, the question is. How does he stand in his relationship to colored men?" "True, he was born at Staunton, Va., which produces some of the best stock in the United States if we may so designate it. White men from the Piedmont Valley are known for their liberal views, their liberality and their disposition to accord equal and exact justice to all men, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Has Hon. Woodrow Wilson changed during his travels over the Southern and Northern part of this country or is he a broad-minded economist upon this as well as upon other questions? When these queries are answered, on it will be in order to take up the platform of the Democratic party in which Senator Newlands of Nevada endeavored to have engrafted a plank calling for the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. "It may be well to state this his proposition seemed to have met with but little consideration at the hand of the convention, although it is far weir that many Southerners voted the proposition. The Northern colored vote, however, made such a proposition out of the question. "From a political standpoint, the Democratic party is no place for the colored people as such. True, a few of our people may find admission there, but the history of the party, negatives the idea of any considerable number of our people enlisting under its banner." 6 Wool 134th Street, Bear Hill Am.

WALTON THE NEED OF PREPARATION SOME of us occasionally work ourselves into a cyclonic state of mind and become victims of violent brainstorms. when, in moments of reflection, we sadly recall that there is not a colored-show on the road to-day over which we can indulge in extravagant and getural praise. But has it ever occurred to you what great trotter the teacher would experience in getting together with愈加 colored musical offering, should the opportunity present itself for the production of such a theatrical attraction on Broadway? Lack of preparation is a racial trait with which we have been burdened for many years, and in the show business you find it in its most aggravated form. Nine times out of ten a colored performer will take a chance on making good without much preparation instead of working hard to improve himself in the best profession, become proficient in any question one must study and practice, and it is just as necessary that you be a close student in the theatrical profession as it is for those ambitious to shine in other professions. During the second season of Ernest Hogan's "Rufus Rastus," Harry Fiddler, now of Fiddler and Shelton, was a member of the east, playing the part of the porter. He was always making suggestions to Mr. Hogan, some of which were good and many of them were to the contrary. To the members of the company Fiddler appeared a joke whenever he made a suggestion, especially when he came up with one of his "no good" ones, but the "Unbleached American" remarked more than once to me: "The people are laughing at old 'Fid', but he is the best student in this show and will some day surprise them all." That Ernest Hogan knew what he was talking about cannot be questioned, for now Fiddler is a member of one of the most entertaining vaudeville acts on the big time, while many of those who laughed at his suggestions are either doing four or five shows daily or have ceased to be performers, for obvious reasons. --- There are performers who claim that some of Fiddler's stunts are old and were copied from others. But such an admission should only go to prove that he is a student and has improved on what he saw, while those from whom he patterned have stood still. Mr. Robert Fulton deserves great credit for building the first steamboat and high tribute is paid him by historians and all of us for his originality, but to the modern architects of steamboat building we are compelled to doff our hats, for the many conveniences we now enjoy on these floating palaces; for they have studied and improved on the inventions of Fulton and the inventions in the realm of theatricals. So it is the officer is looked upon with reverence, and referred to as a contributor to theatrical history, while the student with up-to-date ideas rakes in the currency as well as the plaudits of the public. The performer who daily sings and dances before the glass to become familiar with each movement—every gesture—is the one who is destined to rise above the level of mediocrity. Aida Overton-Walker is a great dancer, but it took years of practice to make her one of the leading terpsichone artists of to-day. Neither did the late George W. Walker become the acknowledged stage dandy by donning his showy raiment only a few minutes before going on the stage. Strutting before the glass for hours and studying every movement with the idea that each had a meaning of its own was what made this well-known stage character famous. The same can be said of our other noted comedians, who only acquired funny facial expressions after spending much time before the looking glass. Many will perhaps scoff at the assertion that it would be a difficult task securing the desired talent for a colored production of Broadway proportions, but those in a position to know will not find the statement a basis for argument. Where can we easily get three or four good comedians, a fascinating singing and dancing soubrette, a prima donna, possessing a fresh voice of sweetness and power; a female coon song singer of the Fanny Brice type; seven or eight other actors for the cast possessing efficient dramatic skill as to do character work as artists are wont to do in first-class houses, and a beauty chorus of about forty sprightly, bewitching damsels, reinforced by twenty chorus men? Mark you, I do not say that to round up such a galaxy of dusky thespians is impossible, but I do maintain that before the job was completed those engaged in the "gathering together" would have spent many a strenuous moment; and I am wondering if such an aggregation was brought together who would have the job of conveying the idea that there were no stars in the show, but that the success of the production depended on the team work of all? Whoever filled this "enviable" position would have my sympathy. New blood is needed to assist those who are actively engaged in putting the colored performer on a higher and more lucrative plane. Those who have been appearing before the footlights for years have heroically done their part in elevating the colored theatrical profession. There are many who can point with pride to what they have done in years gone by; they have been necessary stepping stones to an onward march of progress. Without their efforts the status of the colored performer would not be what it is to-day. However, this is a day of going forward, not standing still, and in order to keep abreast with the times the race cannot afford to stand on its past record. "Forward march!" is the battle cry of this era. Among the whites you will find many schools of dramatic, vocal and terpsichorean art where ambitious ones are put through a course of training for the stage the same as students are prepared for other professions. I am unable to refer to one school conducted by Negroes whose curriculum offers to make one fitted for the stage the true that a man of our founding men and women are to be found studying vocal culture in some of the well-known conservatories throughout the country where the color line is not drawn, but in the majority of instances their aspirations do not veer toward the stage, taking the position that the theatrical profession is not dignified enough for their presence. Years ago the theatrical profession was spoken of disparagingly by the Caucasian, but not so to-day; it now ranks in the same category with other representative professions. The change for good was not made by those without, but by the actors themself. The actors were colored theatrical profession is not up to patrons of dramatic art, but the artists. Many of us do not care to exert much effort toward becoming proficient until we are given a guarantee or promise that our strenuous display or energy will be rewarded in the end. The majority of performers do not feel that it is worth while rehearsing day in and day out without even the faint promise of ultimate remuneration. Yet the student who studies civil engineering for years is seldom promised a position before he finishes; neither is a student of law assured of a large practice as soon as he is awarded a diploma. They prepare for the future and get themselves, in readiness to take advantage of an opportunity when one arises. The colored performer should adopt a similar policy.

Henry Troy is spending several days in Chicago. He had a delightful time in his home State—Alabama. Leon, magician and ventriloquist, is playing at the Dudley Theatre. After working for S. H. Dudley five weeks he will return to Chicago. Zel Bledseaux is doing a single turn. This week, Royal Theatre, Asbury Park. Next week he will open over the Church time. Matt Marshall, of Marshall and Tribble, has forsaken bachelorhood and has taken unto himself a wife. Gilmore, Kinky and Girls are playing over the Loew Circuit. Second half of week, Lyric Theatre, Hoboken, N. J. . . . Selma Lawrence, who will be booked by the United people when the season opens, is working at the Howard Theatre and is the hit of the bill. Blanche Deas, late of the Sambo Girls, is doing a single turn, which is full of merit. She was at the Crescent Theatre the second half of last week and scored heavily with her songs. The Six Gum Drops will be seen next season as an added attraction with one of Hurtig and Seamon's burlesque shows. John W. Cooper, ventriloquist, was at the Crescent Theatre last week after an absence of several months, repeating his former successes. Billy McClain is visiting his mother and friends at Princeton, Ind., after an absence of twenty years. He is taking his home town by storm. John Ritter, formerly connected with Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company, is now working for the Armstrong Brass Company of Waterbury, Conn., and has a responsible position. More colored theatres are being opened throughout the United States with much frequency nowadays. A big vaudeville circuit, controlled by managers of colored houses will be a reality some day. Mrs. Tiny Carlisle, wife of George Carlisle, formerly of the team of Carlisle and Baker, is spending the summer in this country, having arrived from her home in Paris accompanied by her son a few days ago. Associating with Bradford and Sims Tus Florida Honeysuckles are Blanche Sims, Jean Bradford, Alberta Whitman, Robert Deavenry, Scotty Johnson, Maybelle Johnson, George Williams and Ethel Williams. --- The Dunbar Theatre of Columbus, O., has been reopened, and quite a sum was expended remodeling the house. The hits of the bill last week were Fannie Wise and Kelley and Davis. On this week's bill are Charles Gilpin and Delaney and Humphrey. Joe Smeadley is manager. * * * When the season opens among the changes on the Western Burlesque Wheel will be the ban put on all muscle dancers and fighters. No "cooch" dancers or pugilists will be given an opportunity to make money as show people. --- On Monday, June 17, the first colored theatre ever conducted by colored people in North Carolina was started. It is named the Howard Theatre and is owned by Billy Henderson, Adam J. Taylor and Edward L. Howard. The promoters are well known in fraternal circles. --- S. H. Dudley, comedian of the Smart Set Company, is spending the summer organizing his vaudeville circuit. In connection with his house in Washington, D. C., and the Lytic Theatre in Newport News, Va., the comedian is being talent for six other houses, and each house hires at least three acts weekly. --- It is reported that colored musicians who are connected with the unions in New York have been offered work in the big theatres where white musicians walked out for more money. However, the colored men belong to the same organization as the whites and declined all offers with thanks. --- On July 4, late in the afternoon, the following telegram came to THE Aar office from Billy McClain at East Las Vegas, N. M.: "Just arrived; Johnson in great condition." What we have been wondering in THE Aar office since the receipt of the telegram if the ex-comedian made the paper pay seventy-five cents on a collect telegram to inform the scene of the Johnson-Flynn contest; or was the wire in the nature of a tip that came too late. --- J. Leubrie Hill and Frank Montgomery are putting on together a show called "The Blackville Corporation." This week the company is at the Apollo Theatre, Atlantic City. In the cast are J. Leubrie Hill, Frank Montgomery, Sam Gaines, Bonnie Clark, Marie Banks, George Howard, Florence McClain, Evon Robinson, Clara Lewis, Adel Johnson, Eugene Perkins, Edmonia Lewis, Richard Shelton, Edd Goodbair, Robert Murray, Will Mandleff, Wm Kelly, Ed. Jenkins, J. H. Wall, Clarence Nugent, Charles Olden, John Ruddict, Charles Woodie, Bill Jones and Eddie Stafford. CRESCENT THEATRE The heat, coarse talk and coarser actions were the features of the bill at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. In the art of displeasing many patrons with suggestive work Gracie Arntes, late of the Arntes, easily carried off first prize, although one male member of the Crescent Stock Company, doing a female part, worked hard to put over his "jailing" joke. When seen at the Crescent Theatre about two years ago with her husband Miss Artes proved to be a clever singing and dancing comedienne. Today she has not gone back by any means in her work, but since her last appearance in Harlem-some one has evidently given her the impression that in order to hit em around 135th street, you have to be unusually "city." She is very much mistaken, however. When patrons get to the Crescent Theatre they expect the clean show. Those who want to see a muscle dance exhibition and hear a lot of raw talk know where to go for it. The owners and manager of the Crescent Theatre are affable, wellmeaning men, but by not being more critical as to what is said and done on the stage of their theatre have lost scores of patrons who helped to crowd the house during the Fliughelman-Johnson days, when only clean shows were given. Those unfavorable to suggestive jokes do not claim to be representatives of the Purity League, etc., but believe that there is a time and place for everything. There are certain "scarlet" places up in Harlem where Gracie Arntes present act would probably go big. The Crescent Stock Company has made many friends, and every skit put on by the aggregation scores. Hunter and Chappelle are the leading figures of the fun-making. Tolliver and Chappelle have a singing act that won applause, in which Tolliver, late tenor of the Southern Smart Set Company, appeared in a Mexical role. J. ROSAMOND MADE EXECUTOR. J. Rosamond Johnson, of Hart and Johnson, has been appointed executor of the estate of his late father, the Rev. James Johnson, who died at his home in Jacksonville, Fla., June 26. The deceased was one of the leading citizens of Jacksonville and through thrift and industry had acquired much real and personal property, which he left to his widow. In the will both James W. Johnson, Consul to Corinto, Nicaragua, and Rosamond Johnson were named executor but Consul Johnson cabled declining he made would ask that his brother he made sole executor. J. Rosamond Johnson is in Jacksonville with his mother. The funeral of the late Rev. James Johnson was one of the largest ever held in Jacksonville. GO WITH WHITE SHOW When George W. Lederer's big production—"The Charity Girl"—opens next week at Atlantic City three well-known colored performers will be seen in the cast—Miller and Lyles of. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. the promising vaudeville team, and Edgar Connor, formerly of the Cole and Johnson Company, and late of the Samba Girls act. Mr. Lederer is known for his broadness of mind, and it is said that these three clever colored artists will be given a chance "to clean up," and it is up to them to make good. CASINO OPENS JULY 24. After several postponements, due to the inability of the contractor to complete the building on schedule time, Young's Casino, 134th street and Park avenue, will positively open Wednesday evening, July 24. The casino has been built where it is easy of access to all who live in Harlem, and the structure will mark the entrance of the Negro in business; it will be located in a locality thousands of colored persons reside. The casino will be opened with fitting ceremonies. Many of the prominent citizens of New York and Brooklyn will participate. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT By Lester A. Walton. THIS is truly a revolutionary era, one in which newisms and issues are constantly arising and replacing old-fashioned ideas. Day by day old and highly respected ideas are being relegated to the rear and dumped into the junk pile. And this progressive spirit is only "permissioned" action" in the world of politics, even in other realms in which American- evince deep concern. For instance, the Johnson-Flynn affair (for it could not be called a prize light) at Las Vegas, N. M., July 4, was responsible for the sky-rocketing of an ancient and decrepit opinion - that the Negro was the possessor of butting proclivities peculiar to himself. Since Plynn industriously and "with malice aforethought" sought to use his head on Johnson in billy goat fashion, and the police (and the referee) were compelled to stop the farce because of the white man's great penchant for connecting his brain-box with Johnson's anatomy, contrary to all rules of pugilism, those who have argued that the skull of the Negro was thick and that butting was as much of a racial trait with him as it was with the goat tribe, are now reluctantly confessing that the black man has no corner on the butting game. The admission is also made that in recent years the prize ring has shown the Caucasian to be more addicted to using his head as a human battering ram than his dusky brother. It is quite probable that during this great remodeling process of American thought that other set conclusions relating to the Negro will be exploded. The colored brother is said to be such a lover of chicken and watermelon that his wholesale method of consumption is viewed with alarm. Yet we fear if the poultry and melon industry depended largely on the patronage of "the brother" that prices would drop to such an extent that a springer could be bought for twenty-five cents and two large, ripe representatives of the luxious fruit with a green exterior and red interior could be had for ten cents. That the Negro has a fondness for chicken and melon is not denied; but our white friends of ye old times have sought to exaggerate what is a fondness into a passion. From the Johnson-Flynn fray to the consumption of chicken and watermelon is quite a hop, skip and a jump, and is, therefore, declared out of order. The American idea that the Negro is instinctively a butter has been dissipated. On the chicken and watermelon subject we will let the new isms and progressive spirit take care of it. With a view to discussing the butting question with some degree of intelligence, as well as exhibit a spirit of fairness toward Mr. Flynn, an investigation was made to ascertain if it was necessary to be a first-class butter in order to be regarded as an AI fireman - he be a heroic blue-uniformed fire fighter or one whose duty it is to keep fires burning instead of extinguishing them. But in justice to firemen it has been learned that to be a butter is not a requisite demanded of them. Therefore it cannot be said that force of habit compelled Flynn to butt Mr. Johnson. It must have been done instinctively. Telegraphic advice from the scene of conflict referred to Fireman Flynn's butting exhibition as follows. In the ninth round the champion didn't appear to relish Flynn's Best equipped, prettiest and largest theatre in the South Owned, operated and controlled by colored people TO A BEAUTIFUL GROVE ON LONG ISLAND SOUND Wednesday, July 24, 1912 STEAMER ATLAS will leave the following Landings West 131st St., and N.

On one of the breaks Flynn lowered his head and bored for a moment with a mouth imbedded of trying to hit Johnson with his gloved hands he butted the champion in the mouth, splitting his lip. The referee separated them and again Flynn dashed in head down. They came together with a crash and for a moment very much like a barroom scrap in a border town. As the referee took no apparent notice of Flynn's billy-goat methods a captain of the police clambered through the ropes and shouted: "Stop fighting or I'll lock you in here. The same moment other police followed their leader into the ring and Flynn was torn away from his antagonist. Despite the fact that Johnson is a Negro, and although more than one article has been published about the thickness of the black man's skull, the champion did not deal in theories and used good judgment in not butting back at Flynn. Johnson is a skilled boxer, not a brilliant butter, and had he put his shiny in violent motion and collided with that of the fireman we fear he would have gotten the worst of the argument. Furthermore, he is looked upon to defend the champion heavyweight title as a fighter and should be content to let the billy-goo retain the butting laurels. It is too bad that but one-third of the big arena was filled, as the promoters had contracted to give Johnson $30,000 or more for his day's work—win or lose, and the attendance did not justify this big-hearted agreement. In the future fight promoters should remember that large crowds nowadays, as at the Johnson-Jeffries fight two years ago, only assemble when it looks as if the Caucasian has a good chance to win. Present indications are that for some time to come the only way to get thousands to a heavyweight contest will be to match Johnson against Langford, MacVea or Jeannette. These three Negroes are the most formidable contenders for championship honors, and at least one of them should be given consideration by Johnson. Should the champion meet either Langford, MacVea or Jeannette there would certainly be some fast and furious lighting for several rounds at least, and it is not likely that there would be any exhibitions of butting. Magnets Defeat Myrtles Friday afternoon the Magnet A. C. William L. Pope, manager, defeated the Myrtle A. C. by a score of 10-9. The feature of the game was the rally in the ninth inning. In the eighth the score was 4 to 4 in favor of the Myrtles. Then Home Run Baker came to bat with three on base; he did as usual, knocked a home run. At the end of the ninth it was 9-9, and in the tenth the winning run was made by the Magnet's.

E. Bates, and his associates, the Law would bave become a fact. We have hed to ¢e- fend similar attacks by, lggialative methods in the cradle of American liberty, Massachusetts. We all know the outcome of suits in Georgia and Tennessee. where injunctions similar to the New York injunction were is- sued and made perpgtual. In. the border ,states of the South, and in many Western states: we bave been unable to establish lodges owing to the hostility of the members of the white ‘order, who have been able to control the courts and the legislature and shape things to the end of oar ultimate destruction, backed by a million dollars to every thousand we fan raise... A compact embracing a membership of over three thousand members of an organization bent upog the destruction oF the possible fifteen thousand within our ragks, We are face to face with the knowledge that within the ranks sof the opposing or- Sabisation there are the members of - thé legislatures who will frame. the Jaws that mein our doom; within their ranks are the’ offers” and: job tices of the courts that Wwill‘pass upon those laws and review their consti tignality, and who will execute the findings of the court. oe ‘The only ray of hope that bas appeared, is the recent sweeping deci- sion of the Supreme Court of the United States in reversing the deci- Sion of the Supreme Court of Geor- gia in the case of the Knights of Pythias, which was appealed from that state a few months ago: The suit which was undertaken because the white Elks of the state had secured an injunction against the colored Elks has been fought along identical lines with our case in New York. If this decision by the Supreme Court can be accepted as a precedent, and there seems to be no reason on carth why it should not, it means well for us. Tam therefore appealing to you in the name of the order which I know that you love, to take no backward step, but to lend ‘all your energies to push this case to its ultimate con- clusion. We have gone too far to turn back. It would seem almost criminal to expend the money that we have expended in this case and then abandon it when vietory is actu- ally within our grasp. . “We cannot hesitate, as cannot compromise, we cannot think of turn- ing back. I am therefore calling on, you to respond immediately to the call which I am asking the grand| Secretary to make. We can win this case if every member of the order will} contribute the amall sum of fifty-cents. This will not hurt any one of us, for we will throw that sum away for pleasure and not think of it. Do not regard this as a tax, or as an assess- ment, but rather make it your contri- bution to the cause of the freedom of the Elks from malicious persecution. This decision, if successful, will mean the abandonment of all adverse litiga- tion that has been formed against us, and will establish forever our rights to that which we have already so long peace PATERGON, N.
