NEGRO MAY BE DETERMINING FACTOR IN DECIDING 344 ELECTORAL VOTES Tabulation of Negro Vote in all States Where There Are No Disfranchising Laws Prepared for The Age by Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy—Total in States Where Negro Vote is Allowed, Cast and Counted 710,103—Complexion of Congressional Delegations in Many States Where Republican, Democratic and Progressive Parties Will Have Tickets in the Field Can be Changed by Colored Voters.—Table Gives Negro Vote in Thirty-eight States. A tabulation of the Negro vote in all States that have passed no disfranchising laws, has been prepared for THE Age by Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, D. C., which has been accomplished by the expenditure of much time and care, and is no doubt the most accurate and most complete tabulation of its kind. In many States Mr. Tyler has selected a number of the principal cities and towns and indicated the Negro vote. A careful study of this table brings out the important possible and probable bearing the Negro vote may have on the result in a number of States this fall. THE Age analysis of Mr. Tyler's table it is possible that the Negro vote may be a determining factor in deciding 344 electoral votes. The unusual conditions present this year, caused by Col. Roosevelt's third party being in the field, will, in some States, make the Negro vote a certain factor; in others a probable factor. ceratic plurality of 1,490 in 1910. There are old Negro votes in Montana. New Jersey, Gov. Wilson's adopted State, gave Taft a plurality of 82,759 in 1908. Two years later this was reversed into a Democratic plurality of 49,056. The Progressive ticket has arrived this year hoping to divide the vote of both the old parties. New Jersey has 12,825 Negro votes. All three parties are equally desirous of it. It must therefore, be a factor. New Mexico gave a Republican plurality, for Congressman-at-large, in 1908, of only 388. In 1911, after she became a State, the plurality for some of It is also possible in many States, and probable in not a few, that, because of the third party, the complexion of the Congressional delegation from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois and Kansas may be changed by the votes of the Negroes in those States. In the Northern States all three parties are anxious for this vote, and all three are aware of its possible bearing. How the Negro Figures In Various States. In Arkansas, if but 40 per cent of the 88,578 Negroes of voting age will qualify by meeting the statutory requirements, which is the name for whites and black in that strong Democratic State, and by paying their poll, Arkansas would have a Negro vote 50 in excess of Bryan's plurality in 1908. But in Arkansas fully 40 per cent qualify themselves by failure to the poll tax, and another 40 per cent voluntarily the measure of a real or fancied fear of imitation. California was carried by Taft in 1908 by a plurality of 86,906. Two years later the Republican plurality shrunk to 2356 for Governor Hiram Johnson. The Negro vote of California is 6,184, real, practically, to one-third of Governor Johnson's plurality. With Johnson himself running this year for Vice-President on a third ticket, it is not at all impossible that the 6,184 Negro votes, solidly maintained, may decide the election in that State, as between the Republicans, Democrats and Progressives. In 1908 Taft carried Connecticut by 112915 plurality. In 1910 that Republican plurality was metamorphosed into a Democratic plurality of 3,890. There are 4335 Negro votes in Connecticut—efficient, in this peculiar year, too, perhaps, be a determining factor. In Colorado in 1908 Bryan's plurality was 2,944. Two years later that plurality increased to 17,979. There are 3,272 Negro votes in Colorado—328 more than Bryan's plurality in 1908. With the uncertainty as to how deep the Progressives will cut into both parties, the solidarity of that 3,272 Negro vote in the mountain State must be a concern of all three parties. Delaware gave Taft a plurality of 2943 in 1908. Two years later that Republican plurality diminished until it equaled but 579 for the Republican State Treasurer. Delaware has 8,908 Negro votes within her borders. It requires no expert mathematician to show that this year those 8,908 Negro votes, if solid or equally divided, may determine the result in Delaware for one of the three parties. 33,252 Votes In Illinois. Illinois gave Taft a plurality of 179, 122 in 1908. In 1910 that large plurality divided to a plurality of 60,438—practically but one-third of that of two years before There are 33,252 Negro votes in Illinois. If there is a further loss from the Republican vote (by reason of the third ticket being in the field) equal to the loss experienced in 1910, the 33,252 Negro votes, cas, practically solid, may save the Republican party in Illinois. Kansas gave Taft a plurality of 37, 907 in 1908. In 1910 it was cut down to 16,167 for Governor Stubbs. There are 15,572 Negroes eligible to vote in Kansas this year. 'With the progressive spirit running rampant in the Sun Flower State, it is not improbable that (if the solidarity is maintained) those 15,572 Negro votes, added to the white Taft votes, may give the President Kansas' electoral vote this year. Kentucky gave Bryan a plurality of 8,381 in 1908. In 1911 it increased it to 31,135 for the Democratic Governor. The precincts around the Democratic vote of that State this year the 52,331 Negro votes in the Blue Grass State may swing the Presidential pendulum to Taft. 40,400 Negroes In Maryland Balance Power. Taft had but the small plurality of 505 in Maryland four years ago. In 1911 this plurality developed into a plurality of 2,997 for the Republican candidate for Governor. Upon the solidarity of the 46,450 Negro votes of Maryland depends the success of President Taft in that State. And upon the division of that vote depends the success of Democracy. Massachusetts went for Taft in 1908 by a plurality of 110,423. In 1911 the old Bay State gave the Democratic candidate for Governor 8,102 plurality. This year, in a State-wide primary election, Roosevelt was able to break even with the President for the delegates to the Republican National Convention. It is logical, therefore, to figure the 10,892 Negro votes of Massachusetts as no small factor this year. tingent of those who voted for Taft in 1908 now supporting a third party ticket it is not imagining too much to assume that there is a bare possibility of Michigan's Negro vote having some influence on the rest of the country. 2024 Negro votes in Minnesota. But when we stop to consider that Taft's big plurality of 1968-84 in 1908 had fallen to 60,406 in 1910, and should the vote of the Progressives, in that State, equal the noise the party is making, even the comparatively small cratic plurality of 1490 in 1910. There are 611 Nero words in Montagna. are oil Negro votes in Montana. New Jersey. Gov. Wilson's adopted State, gave Taft a plurality of 82,759 in 1908. Two years later this was reversed into a Democratic plurality of 49,056. The Progressive ticket has arrived this year hoping to divide the vote of both the old parties. New Jersey has 12,825 Negro votes. All three parties are equally desirous of it. It must, therefore, be a factor. New Mexico gave a Republican plurality, for Congressman-at-large, in 1908, of only 388. In 1911, after she became a State, the plurality for some of the officials fell below 100. It is plain that even in that State the 542 Negro votes is something not to be overlooked. Empire State Has 48,200 Colored Voters. Taft swept New York with a plurality of 202,602. Two years later the Democrats dissipated that tremendous plurality and carried the State by 67,401 for Gov. Dix. What figure the Progressive party will cut in New York is not foretold. But no one, Republican, Democrat or Progressive, underestimates the possibilities of the 48,820 Negro votes in the Empire State. In Ohio there are 37,521 Negro votes that enter into the political equation. Considering the unusual political conditions in the President's own State, caused by the Bull Moose followers, and the fact that Taft's plurality of 69,591 in 1908, became a Democratic plurality of 100,377 in 1910, those 37,521 members of the Empire State decide the result in the Empire this year. Pennsylvania rolled up a plurality of 297,001 for Taft in 1908. In 1910 there was a mighty reversal of form, and the Republican, candidate for Governor had to be satisfied with a plurality of 33-404 less than one-seventh of the Republican plurality of two years previous. With such a far swing backwards, and with Boss Flynn equipped with an organization and funds to push the third ticket, it might be disastrous for the Republican party in the Keystone State if the 55,405 Negro votes were divided between two of the contesting parties. Tennessee gave Bryan a plurality of 17,284 in 1908. If but 40 per cent. of the 94,617 Negro voters of Tennessee could be urged to quality, pay their necessary poll tax, and vote, even the advent of the Progressive party could not prevent Taft from carrying Tennessee by comfortable plurality. West Virginia gave Taft 26,451 plurality in 1908. In 1910 the little mountain State sent two Democrats to the United States Senate. The Progressive party is active with a good following in that State, and this but makes, all the more so, the potential factor of the 9,168 Negro votes in that State.

Appointed Court and Representative Citizen and host at Kansas City—Judge Bland and Gen. Moore Speak—Commission Appointed to Confer With County Court and Board of Education Special to The New York Times KANSAS CITY, Mo., MAY 20. — St. Stephen's Baptist Church, under the guidance of the Rev. Dr. J. W. Hurse, was the scene of what was perhaps the most notable gathering of representative Negroes ever held in this city. For years the people of Kansas City have felt the need of a truman school, a normal school and a home for delinquent youth, to be conducted under the supervision of the Board of Education. Prof. J. Silas Harris, Dr. J. H. Jones, James W. Lee, Dr. J. N. Hurse and Dr. W. C. Williams, respectively, of St. Stephen's and Ebenezer churches, were the prime movers in working up sentiment favorable to the establishment of these institutions. The meeting was called to order by Dr. W. C. Williams, who was unanimously chosen chairman, and Prof. J. Silas Harris was elected secretary. Attorney W. C. Hannon introduced Judge Bland, the principal speaker of the evening. After assuring the people that he had no political ambitions, Judge Bland proceeded to deliver one of the greatest speeches ever made in this city to a Negro audience. He congratulated the race upon its fifty years of progress and declared that under more favorable circumstances the next half century would not know conditions that now exist. Judge Bland is a Democrat, a millionaire, and one of the best friends that the Negro has ever had on the Board of Education. Gen. Milton Moore followed Judge Bland, making a tellin's speech—full of good cheer and hope for the race. Prof. G. N. Grisham, principal of Lincoln High School, also spoke. Among those present were Mrs. Josephene Silone Yates, Prof. J. Dallas Bowser, Col. George T. Wassom, Profs. John L. Love, D. N. C. Cushwait, H. O. Cook, John L. F. Teton, Fannie J. Jackson, Fannie J.

C. A. Dr. C. T. Walker, Dr. W. H. Brooks and Prof. M. D. Coley Among Those to Give Good Advice to Young Men At Big Meeting Held Sunday. When the hour came for the meeting to begin at the Young Men's Christian Association in West Fifty-third street last Sunday afternoon a large number of young men had already gathered, attracted by the announcement that a brilliant array of speakers would be on hand. The singing was bright and spirited and the entire devotional period was uplifting and inspiring. Prof. M. D. Coley of Faison, N. C., was the principal speaker. Before the speaking began Secretary Thomas J. Bell advised the young men to be careful with their earnings. "Reports come to us," he said, "to the effect that in most places the season has been a partial failure. The constant cool waves have had the effect of almost destroying the expectations of many who had hoped to reap a great reward from their labor. Many will come back with very little more than they carried away. I advise all young men, therefore, to be careful of their earnings. Don't put in orders for two or three suits of clothes expecting to pay for them in weekly installments of the Faison Normal and Industrial School spoken on "Opportunity." He told the young men that every one has, or has had an opportunity to make a man of himself at some period of his life, whether he took advantage of it or not. It will be to the everlasting disregard of every man, he said, if he allows the opportunities for development and improvement go by. The Rev. Dr W. H. Brooks, of St Mark's Church, and the Rev. Dr T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., were all present. Dr Walker was cordially greeted when he rose to speak. "It is always a pleasure to meet, and he in beginning, to be with the New York Y M C A. You of this city have much to be proud of in work, for it is forlorn the inspiration stimulated by the founding of the association that associations in a dozen other cities have sprung up. And now after all these years of working and writing, in spite of doubt and ridicule on the part of the enemies of the church, at first predicted that the church would equally be poised to remain long enough for the deeds and dives to found and establish a work of this kind, you are at last have a new building in which every phase of Y M C A. A work can be carried on. And when it comes the ones who will have remained through thick and thin, and have encouraged the hearts of those upon whose shoulders the main burdens have rested." SURGEON STAFF FOILED Dishandled White Physicians of Kansas City Find Papers of Colored Doctors Are Graded Too Low. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 20—Thanks to the fair and broad-minded stand taken by President W. P. Motley of the Hospital and Health Board, and Health Commissioner W. S. Wheeler, Negro internes will be retained at the old city hospital, which was remodeled at the expense of $15,000 and turned over to the colored citizens of Kansas City last year. The hospital has a visiting staff of colored and white physicians and surgeons, and although known as a colored institution, an effort was made to displace Negro internes by white ones. The Negro citizens succeeded in getting a hospital, after several years of agitation, under a Republican administration. Last spring Mayor Jost, a democrat, was elected, and there arose two elements—one to get rid of colored doctors by former Mayor Brown in order to discredit Mayor Jost's administration with the Negroes, and another to give the positions to the whites, in order that the Kansas City Medical College might have more positions for their graduates as internes. Fourteen white physicians were anxious to go to the old city hospital. Dr. William J. Thompkins, one of the leading colored physicians here, and active in retaining the colored internes, called on the superintendent of the hospital last May and asked for the names of the internes who were to succeed the four who leave in October. The superintendent informed Dr. Thompkins that he had forgotten about the Negro internes. After a great deal of parleying he made out a list of questions with instructions that they be sent to the various medical colleges throughout the country where there are Negro students. Although a large number of the representative schools had made arrangements for their students for the year, responses were received from the University of Michigan, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Chicago; Howard University, Washington, D.C.; and Physicians and Surgeons, Boston. The papers were first received by Dr. Thompkins and read with care; then they were turned over to the superintendent of the hospital and later to the members of the staff to be graded. Dr. Thompkins was greatly surprised about two weeks ago when he called for a report on the examination papers and was informed that not an applicant had passed. He immediately took up the matter with his two personal friends on the board—President Motley and Health Commissioner Wheeler. Although at the last meeting of the Hospital and Health Board fourteen of the eighteen members recommended that the board let out the colored internes and till their places with whites, taking the stand that young colored physicians could not pass the required examination, President Motley asked for the examination papers, stating that he would return them the following week. The members of his surgeon staff were greatly shocked at the following meeting when President Motley stated: "I have four sets of papers here which I had regraded by physicians not connected with our medical and surgical staff. The men I asked to do this work simply handed the questions asked these men the answers. They were not even told they were Negroes. The papers were numbered from one to four and bore not even a name. Look over the results for yourself." It was seen that No. 1, who had received a grade of 30 per cent on the part of the visiting staff, had been given 89 per cent; No. 2, who had received 63 per cent, was graded 83 per cent; No. 3, who had been given 55 per cent, was raised to 85'; per cent, and No. 4, whose grade was 63 per cent, rose to 87'; per cent. The papers of No. 5 have not yet been regraded. President Motley asked A. C. Stowell to take them and give them to any disinterested physician and he would agree to alode be the result. The board has ordered that the four men receiving the highest averages he notmitted that they had won positions as internets and to prepare to report for duty in October, when the year of the men now at work expires. President Motley, who is a Southern Democrat, born and reared in Tuskegee, Nia, always has favored having Negro internets, nurses and visiting physicians at the old hospital. SEGREGATION BILL CONFUSES BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 20—J Walter Hall, a blind furniture repairer, has been released for the action of the grand jury on the charge of violating the segregation ordinance. Hall moved into the 500 block of North Fremont avenue, and as an alley intervened between his home and the next, colored resident his arrest followed. Should he be indicted the case will be made one to test the validity of the law. Two prominent colored ministers are already under indictment for holding a camp meeting in a white neighborhood.

STILES HAS WILSON ARRESTED The efforts of Wayman D. Wilson, one of the youngest members of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, to "purify the ministry" were temporarily checked for a few hours last Saturday, owing to a warrant for his arrest sworn out by the Rev. Joseph Stiles, formerly presiding elder of the Long Island District, and who was recently appointed pastor of Macedonian A. M. E. Church, Flushing. Wilson was arrested on the charge of having published in a newspaper an article to which the Rev. Stiles accused him. Soon, Wilson was arrested several of his friends side with him in the church controversy secured a bondman, and theiligent young churchman was released. He threats to sue the Rev. Mr. Stiles for false arrest PRICE, 5 CENTS BUSINESS LEAGUE IS IN SESSION Business and Professional Men of the Race Come from all Sections of the United States There is Not a Disgruntled Delegate in the Convention—Visitors are Being Royally Entertained by Citizens. Special to The New York Aer CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 21—When the thirteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League was called to order this (Wednesday) morning at, the Institutional Church, 3825 Dearborn street, with Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., in the chair, the spacious edifice was filled with a small army of prosperous, optimistic Negro citizens—Negroes from every section of the United States, who had traveled many miles to bring cheerful and inspiring messages, and to prove by facts and figures that the race is making rapid strides along business lines in this era of progress despite the many obstacles and handicaps encountered. One member who has been present at every annual session since there has been a National Negro Business League was heard to remark shortly before the meeting convened: "It would be a rank pessimist of the thirty-third degree who did not find inspiration in the annual meetings of the league, after coming in contact with men of color who have succeeded and who are on the road to success in their various lines of activity." While the National Negro Business League has not produced to date any great captains of industry or financiers whose names are familiar to newspaper readers, it has been an incentive to many colored men who, while possessing the essential business qualifications, lacked confidence in themselves. Members Enthusiastic and Hopeful. If any of the members leave their respective homes in a disgruntled state of mind with reference to conditions affecting the Negro in this country, their moods change as soon as they get here. No note of pessimism is ever heard, and although all fully appreciate the up-hill fight to put the race on a creditable footing with the brother in the business world, the consensus of opinion is that more can be accomplished by looking the situation carefully in the face and working assiduously to overcome all obstacles rather than sit idly by, weep copiously and indulge in floods of rhetorical complaint: The large number of delegates attending the convention anticipate a pleasant time aside from the daily sessions. The Windy City is known far and wide for its hospitality, and the residents have planned to do themselves proud in the matter of entertaining the visitors. The officers of the local league—Dr. George C. Hall, president; George P. Smith, treasurer; William D. Neighbors, secretary, and S. J. Evans, chairman of the Committee on Homes, assisted by other citizens, have arranged to make each and every visiting delegate feel perfectly at home. Thursday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock an automobile sight-seeing tour in honor of the delegates has been arranged, and a visit will be paid, the big business houses of Chicago, the business institutions conducted by colored men, the Board of Trade and the city parks. Friday afternoon a steamboat excursion will be given, and Friday evening a big banquet and reception will be tendered the officers and members of the league at the Seventh Regiment Armory.

THE WOES OF HAITL Our sympathies go out to the people of Haiti in the latest calamity that has befallen them. The national palace was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion, when President Cincinnatus Le Conte and many palace attendants were killed and some 400 people were injured. August 8. The explosion occurred at 3 o'clock in the morning It appears that President Le Conte had stored large quantities of explosives and arms in the cellars of the palace, to be in readiness for a war with his neighbor, Santo Domingo, just across the border, which, it was expected, would break out at any moment. The belief is general that an enemy of the President, set a slow match to the magazine and thus got rid of the President, the national palace and the precious magazine in one grand explosion. The Presidents of Haiti have a hard time to get the office and a harder time to keep it. Most of them die with their boots on, by the act of an assassin, some flee from mob soldier wrath and die in exile, often in poverty, and some are blown up. It does not appear by the record to be a very desirable job to have, and yet there is always a long line of men waiting and plotting their turn at it. A roll call of the Presidents of Haiti during the past century reads as solemnly and mournfully as "The Dead March in Saul." Already there are plots and rumors of revolution all the way from Port-au-Prince to Paris by way of St. Thomas and Jamaica, by then ambitious to succeed President Le Conte. There is no hope for the future and stability of Haiti while it is governed by revolution and the impulse to revolution. It needs peaceful administration in order to develop its splendid, resources of field, mine and forest, and to educate its children at home instead of in France for the work of construction at home. Can it have such administration and education? We hope so, but there is nothing in the history of Haiti to justify the hope. A NEGRO JEW OF THE CIRCUM CISION. It is the general expectation and hope that Mr. Rufus Lewis Perry of Brooklyn will make a successful Jew of the circumcision and reach Jerusalem on schedule time. We learn from Mr. Perry's father's learned book, "The Cushite," that circumcision prevailed among the Ethiopians before the Almighty God made it a covenant between Him and Abraham; but the ceremony was to be performed upon the man child when eight days old. Abraham was "ninety years old and nine" and Ishmael was thirteen when circumcised, so that Abraham had to break the covenant in order to fulfill the conditions of it. Mr. Perry is thirty-eight years old and should have been circumcised in his youth in order to profit by the conditions of the covenant. The Biblical law is very strict in its letter and spirit. When eight days is stated as the time to do a certain thing it does not mean that it is lawful to do in thirty-eight years after Mr. Perry may be right in his hope, but we have our doubts about it. It is not generally understood or accepted as a fact by Biblical scholars that Abraham broke the covenant between him and the Almighty God immediately after it was made with him, as Abram broke the covenant between him and the Lord by listening to the advice of Sarai, his wife, in the matter of Hagar. That is, however, the fact. It seems to run on that all those who COL. ROOSEVELT AT ARMAGEDDON. Col. Roosevelt has so many sides to him that we much doubt if he knows them himself or has counted them or could count them. Like the colors of the rainbow, or Joseph's cost, his sides run into themselves from every direction and lose themselves in the riot of their confusion. To the ordinary spectator, who has nothing to lose and nothing to gain by his performances in war, literature and politics, to strangers among us from Europe, Asia or Africa, simply lookers on, the workings of Col. Roosevelt's many sides are as diverting, as amusing, as a wild west show; but to the American citizen there is nothing diverting, nothing amusing about them, and has not been since the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, when he took the center of the stage and has held it ever since, in one way and another, always as a star actor, loaded down with "me and my policien" and a big stick as thick and handy as Thor's hammer or the sword of Attila the Hun. And now Col. Roosevelt has reached the jumping off place. He started on the long journey as a kicker against everything not Rooseveltan in the Chicago convention of 1884, when he opposed the nomination of James G. Blaine, and he has been kicking ever since, with and without reason. Now he has a party of his own, "a private snap," so to speak, with which he hopes to kick the bottom out of everything that refuses to think and do things as he directs. The Constitution is not good enough and must be done all over, as we are informed by a flood of words in his Chicago speech on the state of the nation, and in his platform, with the Negro citizen relegated to the rear in states where he cannot vote and invited to take a seat way front in states where he can vote. The adoption by the people of Col. Roosevelt and his platform would give us new things on the earth, such as have not been seen since the children of Israel were bound and gagged to death by too much law and commandment out of the thunder and smoke out of Mt. Sinai. In a wind-up blare of oratory at Chicago Col. Roosevelt declared: "We stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord." Where is Armageddon; and is Col. Roosevelt certain that the Lord called him to stand there and battle for him? It was the sixth angel that called the hosts of the future to the slaughter, in the name of the Almighty God of Mixraim of Abra-Ham, who was no Lord at all. Here is the call from Revelation rx. 13-16: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the king, of the earth, and of the whole world to gather them to do battle of that great day of Almighty God. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gath-end them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon" (the god of war of Edom of Eden). Isn't that awful—the three unclean spirits gathered for slaughter at Armageddon out of the Republican, the Democratic and Socialist Labor parties into the Progressive party by Col. Roosevelt, who "comes as a thief," a great big Bull Moose, shaking a blood-red bandana in the faces of the astonished world! There is no other passage in the Scriptures that so nearly describes Col. Roosevelt and his discontented host as the one we have quoted from Revelation as the beast and his unclean spirits gathered by the Almighty God of Ham at Armageddon for slaughter. Col. Roosevelt should read the Scriptures with more understanding and avoid turning the sharp sword of the mystical text against himself and his party. The Negro citizens do not need to be deceived by Col. Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, Brownsville or Armageddon. They know him. He has taken unusual trouble to show them his nakedness. They know also the Republican party in which they have a free man's right to even up with free men as citizens and partisans. conform to the terms of the covenant eight days before or eight days, or any multiple of days, thereafter, violate the terms of the covenant and therefore put themselves outside its benefits. The son promised to Abram by the Lord was not the son promised to Abraham by the Almighty God, therefore the promises in Ishmael are not the same as those in Isaac. When the question of circumcision came up fifty years after the death of Jesus (Acts, 15 Chap.), it was decided by the Apostles and Disciples at a special meeting that circumcision was no longer necessary to assure salvation, but that Jew and Gentile should stand or fall by their works. It is doubtful if the Christian theology would have got any foothold at all among the Gentiles of Greece, Rome and Europe if the rite of circumcision had been insisted upon by the Apostles and disciples, when they were called upon finally to pass judgment upon it. The rite is in the nature of a test of the common sense rather than the wisdom of man, to mayhem himself, which is, obviously, blasphemy, because man is advised to do so as a covenant between two, which cannot become effective except by mutual agreement of the parties to it. As Abraham violated the conditions of the covenant in the beginning, so have all those who have submitted to the rite since, as it can only be performed by man's voluntary act and binds only him to do that to him that he would allow no man to do. The rite therefore contains a curse and not a blessing and those who go to Jerusalem by the sign of the thirteenth principles, which is the sign of Ishmael of Israel, do not come back any more. GOV. BLEASE AND THE LITTLE CHILD. It is not safe to offend the little child, to alice in any way, because it is not only to innocent to know but too weak to protect itself. it is the type of innocence, of purity. Strong men protect it, because the destruction of it means the loss of a good man or woman. When systematically destroyed by a whole people for a long period it will result in the loss of the face or the nation so guilty. "The child is father to the man," said Alexander Pope. "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom," said Jesus and men who were childhood, or seek to hide their weakness behind the purity and innocence of their own way by the host in them and are punished in many ways, but always punished, sometimes by the law that indulges them out, sometimes by "conscience that sloth make cowards of us all" and is the surest detective always present with the guilty, in the service of social justice. We have no pleasure in exposing the crimes of Cole Blease, Governor of South Carolina, who necessarily, because of his position of honor and responsibility stands for the average character of the people of his State, the virtuous editor of the Charleston News and Courier included; we do it as a matter of duty in helping on the good time coming, when the people of South Carolina will select their best and not their worst men to represent them at Columbia and at Washington, because they are loudest and vulgarest in proclaiming themselves "Negro haters" and "champions of white-man rule." Take the following incident culled from the news dispatches of the day as an illustration of what tampering with "a little child" can do: Gaffney, S. C., August 9.—Governor Please picked up a little girl who presented flowers at the conclusion of his campaign in his pasture. Holding her in his arms, he said: "A little child shall lend me." Look at the love and confidence this baby has for me. From the back of the crowd came a dee-dee voice: "Because she don't know any better." Quickly the governor answered: "If you come uponem, you dirty lil'r. I will give you the keys." "No need to go uponem," was hurled back. "Come back here and try it now." The hallman of the meeting and fellowship presided the hostiles from going any further. The mother who gave her child flowers to present to such a man as Cole Blease—a mob leader, bribe taker and seducer, by allegation or confession—challenged the honesty of the man who rebuked the foul spirit of the Governor of the State, and may easily have been responsible for a bloody murder if no policemen had been present to prevent it. The mother in this case, as in many others, was responsible for putting the child in a false position. Indeed, it is one of the crimes against childhood that the little children are so commonly paraded, in public and private, for vulgar caressing and applause, because they are "so pretty and cute, you know." If there is a more miserable, a more despicable man in public life to-day than Gov. Cole Blesse of South Carolina, we do not know of him, as the paralysis that locks the blackguard jaw of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of the same State, places him in the asylum of charity where silence reigns ROBERT TAFT AND THE BABY BEAR Don't shoot. It must be her cub, I her girlfriend Robert Taft the son of the President, to his guides on Red night camp. The little bear was presented to Mr Taft upon arriving at his hunting camp in the far West by an Indian chief. A collar was put upon it and it was tied in camp. It cried all the time, and one night a bear came down the mountain sides red, chewing the leash in twain, bore the little bear up the mountain sides to freedom. "Don't shoot. You made him Presi- dont." Barack Obama could have whispered to the Colonel, when he had decided to try to defeat President Taft and kill the Republican party at the same time, but he did not. "Don't shoot. 'It must be her cub,' is a generous sentiment which Col. Roosevelt did not carry to Africa as the American Nimrod nor fetch away from Chicago in his red bandana as the would-be wrecker of the great party, that had crowned him with the highest honor in the gift of the Nation.

According to the latest census England and Wales have 1,175,276 women who have no chance of finding husbands, that being that many more females than males in the country. In France the condition is said to be worse and it is becoming alarming in this country, especially among Negroes, who now have more females than males. The sign is one of physical decadence and gradual extinction of the race concerned.

Some criminals make believe they are utterly unconscious of their own taints.

NEGROES ON ROOSEVELT LETTER (By C. P. T. White, Rock Hill, S. C.) With regard to the letter of Theodore Roosevelt, I consider it completely void of anything that he can upon request warrant in support of a party which the ex-President seeks—if indeed he seizes—which, in my mind, is exceedingly questionable. In my opinion, Roosevelt has abandoned his former "door of hope" policy, as it concerns the Negro. According to the letter of Mr. Roosevelt, those of us who happen to do so unfortunate, or who have not undertaken undeserving of recognition as citizens—educational qualification, religion, wealth, or what not has nothing whatever to do with the ex-President. Negro for a moment afford to stand for such an unjust criticism. (By E. W. Sorrell, Plaguentnr. La.) Replying to your letter of the 8th inst., requesting my opinion on the letter recounted in my book, *Oil of Jalal Roosevelt* by *Jacques Mongez* and *The Magazine*, outlining his stand on the race problem and the representation of Negro delegates on the convention of the so-called Southern Conference, in his declaration of loosevelt sincerely in his declarations in the letter in question; if he were prompted by a desire to bring about a white vote in the convention at Chicago, opposed his nomination. I should be among the first to indulge and applaud his letter, though as a delegate I should not be opposed at Chicago, knowing that by his duplicity and vacillating political tactics, he caused more ill will and more friction between the white and black people, and ever elated since the reconstruction days. If he is sincerely why did he encourage the election and solicit the support of the black people? And if he is sincerely why did he through his agents, attempt to brilhe the Negro delegates from the South by offering them with money and office to desert President Taft? In my opinion his letter will have just the opposite effect—will cause him to hoose white votes in the South and black votes in the North. (BY C. M. Wade, M. D. I. Hot Springs, Ark.) It is with considerable reluctance that I reply to your request for an article bearing on the recent letter of Col. Rosewett to Joel Harris. The reluctance, however, arises from your great paper an intelligent set and need no further enlightenment as to the true character, temper, integrity, and personality of the solon of the anglo-words change front and play the chameleon is indeed wonderful. But why he should surrender that portion of a loyal race which has been untested in their loyalty to him by a blaspheme, is perilously ununderstandable. I was a delegate to the last National Convention, uninstructed and unconfolested, and from my loyalty the G. O. I yet there were times I thought Rosseveld was the popular idol, and might have lamented the poor man who had been the victim him. But such a dream is past. He stands uncovered before me as the embodiment of a Noro a Napoleon combined, in all of his virtues, in all of his utterance of a few years ago. "All men up and no man down," which struck a response chord in the heart of his wife with the better letter to Joel Harris, where he virtually turns the poor, helpless Negro over to his political enemies. "The man can find neither expression but 'noten boroughs' for the longitudinal and latitudinal portions of the great country, but he can find into his service the greatest National convention, certainly gives evidence of a man sold of conscience and a useful lack of integrity and trust." How any self-respecting of the Negro race North or South can give him a kindly thought, much less their support, is more than I can tell. City W. H. Higgins, M.D., Providence, R.I. E. President, Research and the campaign speech in Providence on June 26, 1913, and understanding the need for the platform and many others in the audience, not a word of extermination was offered in response to his new infatuation with his unavailability toward the Negro delegate at his Bull Moose convention in Chicago recently. To say as a future President of Mr. Want would not hold him up upon the colored voters of New England and judging by his silence as to the political and civil rights of the Negro race that he can be elected president without our assistance. In other REPEAL OF THE FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS YOU ARE JUDGED BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. words, the Negro is persona non grata to Theodore Rougelt. Of the three leading candidates for President, Mr. William Howard Taft is the only one who makes any proclamation in return for our promises, coming as they do from a man who has not betrayed our trust and confidence, behooved us to warn him of the North Carolina election hold the destiny of over 100,000,000 people in their hands by virtue of the ballot and the absorbing question is whether the advantage of our brothers in the Southern States? In all of the doubtful States we hold the constitution of power, and it is for us to say whether we will return Mr. Taft to the White House, one who is plied to uphold the constitution of the United States and whose actions are enforced, or will we make it possible for a demagogue who is outspoken against the Negroes political, social and economic. The Negro in this national election has but one alternative, that is to vote as a unit for the party, whose convictions led to the ability to abolish the ultristrict American, William Howard Taft (Br J. B. Levy, M. D. Florence, S. C.) At first when I read Col. Roosett's letter, I thought it an error of judgment, but subsequent developments at his Ball Moose Theater led me to satisfy that insisted desire of his to be President again he has descended from that high ground where he once lived. He was a man of great charm and deeds Lincoln, who died nighting for the rights of others, to the low grounds of a common politician, of which this country is already one. He was a man of great ability who will do him no good in the South, all are like the one we had in South Carolina. The late head of the South Carolina "Lily" Roosett crowd, said it was a most expensive undertaking. Every fellow either wanted an office or a $5 bill. Unless the Ball Moose will have both of these, the Ball Moose will have to seek other pastures less expensive. A few of us went out of our way to attend the national convention last June and even assisted in nominating him at Orchestra Hall. And the reception undersed us to the fact that we still indicated that we maintained "some show of demeany." We retained this "demeany" until he heard the voices of a few unknown democrats with very anxious faces. It suddenly dawned upon him that those follows who come to the different convention will be without standing of the character. We do not ask him for a certificate of character or to act as guardian for the Southern men. Some of us who have lived in the South have produced certificates of character from any of our neighbors. It will be well with the Negro long after the Bull Moose and the head have passed to the great Beyond. 20 years ago, we had 20 years and yet has gained in strength, intelligence, usefulness, and influence, and I think we will be able to survive this back door. We will be able to Traff. at the helm for the next four years. Less spectacular but spaddler. "THE PRINCE OF DREAMERS" "THE PRINCE OF DREAMERS" The Bee of Washington (D. C.) Pays Its Respects to Him—The Infeasiveness of Long-Distance Fighting. Comfortably ensoiled in quarters overlooking throngs of busy men and women—quarters provided and paid for by white men, sits and dreams the Dream. He is a brown man, trained in the learning of the schools; part poet, part psalodist, part cynic and part parasite. He devotes a large part of his time to "literature" and to the manufacture of literary venom, which exudes from his pen, his pah, as venom follows the tooth of the Per de Lance, or Katle Snake. His poisonous experiments are excited to activity by black men who have attained high distinction in politics and practical activities, and who pay no attention to the dangers of poison. Employed at Willerforce and Atlanta University, when bread and shelter were needed, his repellent activity does not stop at striking others engaged in similar work, which he is now pleased to characterize as "Jim Crow." He sees the herd outlines of his own splendid figure thrown ashore eighty million attorned white people who tremble at his very name, while his invaded gaze kills him to the ground in others. His fellow officers are laid on assault on the strengthens of Anglo-Saxon power and preparedness, and yet after forty years of life, he has not thus far battled to his credit—not one single Anglo-Saxon dagger handles in his belt, nor are his carefully maneuvered thunder bolts tainted as yet with Anglo-Saxon When members of his race were being shot and cut to pieces in the streets of Atlanta within sight and sound of him, where was he? Sur- bounded by his books and preparing to hurl "The Littany of Atlanta" at a mob, preparing vocal bullets in his arsenal of timidity and cynicism—rapidizing on the fatal September 22nd, far from the final line! In the issue of the "Crisis" the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, the Register of the U. S. Treasury and the Recorder of Deeds are mentioned as "wooden men" who dare say nothing which white men dislike to hear. Hisirement of manhood is the ability to employ vocal weapons, as if such missiles have not been wasted for forty years by fools in the futile attempt to shake down the walls of hate and persecution by which we are encompassed. The man men are they, while he alone is the man of "Blood and Iron!" Aloof from the multitudes of his people whom he subconsciously despises but consciously defends for a retainer; cold, cynical, unpopular and impractical, he writes in the same issue of the "Crisis" that 500,000 Negro voters should be visualized, and great things would follow. As usual he offers no practical plan of organization of this great host, but falls back upon the impractical statement of what he thinks ought to be done and the dipint reference to another wooded place. There is no wonder that he lacks a plan of organization for 500,000. We recall his attempt to organize an army of fifty or thereabouts, but his army vanished after a few short sessions as the mats of Niagara—from which his name was derived—vanish in the clouds of the Anglo problem confronting the race. If he is a hero, why does he not perform the part of one? Evaristo Eatonzo took to the field as a protest in Cuba, and died upon the battle field. Here was a hero whose name will rank with L. Overture and Macao. He took the hill to inspire Du Bois, the intrepid one. Or does it merely excite him to call others "wooden men," while he battles away in the safety and seclusion of his closest, burling his little spit balls. If our meager knowledge of French words "Du Bois," mean "from wood" or something made of wood—hence, the real wooden man. CALL FOR SKILFUL NEGRO Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 17.—Just as one finishes at college and then pursues special studies in a university, so students after receiving a fair elementary training in both academic and technical training to special industrial training at Tuskegee Institute. In no calling is this special training in higher demand than in agriculture, and in no school, certainly no Negro school, are the faculty so ample to meet this demand. The Tuskegee laboratory with its appliances and apparatus suited to the experimental study of farming—to the study of seeds, seed germination, chemistry of soils and the composition and importance of nutrients in the soil—teachers available, teachers who understand the colored student and teachers who can also know the product, conduct these classes and experiments. On the other hand there is the farm with its 2,400 acres of farm land, 1,000 acres under cultivation, to test and apply the theories developed in the laboratory. This combination of theory and practice exists not only on the general farm but in the special branches of farming as well. Over all farming industries there one man known as the Director of Agrarian Affairs and he acts as a head for each division. Thus there is one man who instructs in, and has charge of, pig raising, and he actually raises pigs. There is another who has charge of butter making and the selling of milk. While actually making butter supplies a market himself. There is another who instructs in truck farming, while he himself is raising and handling produce for 2000 people about Tuskegee Institute. It thus happens that no student could take a course in agriculture and go on a journey a more theorist or a more educator. Either he goes away with skill in all the various lines of his work. The school's early education program at Tuskegee Institute will illustrate in detail this system of agricultural training. In the course, we several students will learn to chop in fresh fruit. Of course they were taught in a practical way how to grow other fruits than peaches, but as peaches called for the biggest harvesting they will be taken. To begin with the school bought 1,000 peaches and 1,000 peaches that was good for little class but excellent for peach growth. It taught the students how to set out a peach tree. how deep to dig, when to dynamite a hole and why, what vegetables could be grown in the young orchard and why, when the growing of any other product in the orchard cease and why, when the orchard over there balancing Tort peaches. What was to be done here and why. There was smudging to be done if the weather was child, there was the making of solutions for spraying, spraying for different purposes and at different times of the year, each requiring a different solution. There was one kind of spraying for San Jose Scale, another kind for insects, and still another kind for worms. All the spraying needed for learning, and then applied right there on the trees. Then came the poach harvest. Given a large peach crop, how shall the student买 it? The first problem was that the poach was pick by the bushel, but it was found that they raked anything off the树 to fill up the measures. Thus they ruined the harvest. Then those same persons were hired by the day, but an order was termined upon and required of each picker. If a workman fell below the average for any length of time he was docked. It was found too that very little boy and girls can pick poaches that saving the heavy workmen for other tasks. Another problem they learned to handle was that of marketing. What will a man do when his products overrun the local markets? Break into other markets. How, and at what skill? All this the young fruit grower learned. For this was the situation that confronted the fruit growing division at Taskeese Institute. Thus the student fruit grower learned how to plant, harvest, pack and ship his fruit, meeting in a practical way every problem he would meet in actual life. The student in the fruit growing division is typical as showing the kind of training the Negro agricultural receives. He meets this same happy combination of theory and practice in farming, truck gardening, market gardening, care and management of horses and mules, dairy husbandry, dairy raising, beef production and slaughtering, canning and veterinary science. To meet the demand for the student trained in agriculture Tuskegee Institute offered several alluring advances in agriculture. In the past, these causes the agricultural student must work, must do actual and profitable work. For this work the institute gave him certain advantages. In the past he received a school pay $10 Advance fee; the postgraduate agricultural student has this sum omitted. All other students pay $10 per month for board, part of the graduate agricultural student receives $15 per month for his work. Thus after his board is taken out, he has $15 per month. In this way he receives his training and earns a small wage here. That good positions await him indeed, there is jealousy arising that the agriculturist is getting overpaid is shown by the positions he deserves in agriculture. These are T. M. Campbell, Washington A. Tate, Crawford D. Menafe and Harry Simmons, farm demonstration agents in the Sam; besides, there are W. Simmons, there are W. Field Agrarian, Luther Van Hos, Kelia W. James, Dennis A. Starks, Christopher T. Swans, Grover C. Eckhoff, all principals of schools or orchards in cultural work because of the demand in agriculture. Their salaries are found up to $100 per month. Editor's Note: This is the second a series of articles on The Skilful Negro. The third is a in next week's issue. Roosevelt Cartoon Occasions Comment.

By MAX MARTEL On the east side of Lenox avenue, near 143th street, there is an ice, ice cream parlor conducted by a colored man, and on the west side of the avenue, a block below, is a similar business carried on by a German. Both places are well kept, the refreshments served the public are good and the service is satisfactory. There is only one complaint. It is claimed that the colored man gives—well, about a spoonful—less of ice cream than his German competitor. Result: The Negroes living in the neighborhood and the worshippers at a certain large church situated in 134th street are making the German rich. He employs several clerks—none colored. On Sunday nights his place is filled to overlowing with usually a line waiting for seats. Across the way the colored clerks take enforced rest—prompt and courteous in attendance on the few who filter in. Some years ago I knew of a similar instance. Negroes made a certain white merchant wealthy, and he showed his appreciation by moving into a white neighborhood and barring them from his place. Of course they were humiliated and mad clear through but what good did it do? As a people we have had about fifty years to think—but it seems we still need the "fool killer's" club to make us do so. "Something to eat, a place to sleep, and plenty good clothes to wear," make most of us happy for the day, and who cares about to-morrow? We positively refuse to take it seriously. To an observer it would seem we are bidding for similar treatment in New York as is accorded our friends in the South. It has been said we must be driven together to make us support our business and professional men. Considering we are dependent upon them for any real financial and commercial support we must look to them to furnish any positions of substantial worth for colored children who are growing up, it must rejoice the heart of our veriest enemy to see how our short-sightedness is calculated to work to our own injury. If there are those who wish to patronize the German, they should see to it that he gives employment to at least one colored clerk. This may palliate, but does not remove the fact, unpleasant though it is, that we are willing to go to the wall' and enrich a merchant who if left to his own liking, would probably give us a job as scrub woman or porter. Another Incident. On the south side of Broadway and 34th street is the large dry goods store of Sachs. Some time ago an intelligent and highly thought of colored woman went in there to purchase a hat. The saleswoman refused to allow her to try one on, and when she complained to higher powers she was told the girl was obeying orders. Across the street is Macy's, employing a large number of colored help, and where apparently everybody looks alike to the salespeople as far as treatment is concerned, yet, strange to say, colored people—most of them women—knowing of the above incident and others equally as insulting, will go to Sachs to spend their money, and then wonder why other races hold Negroes in such small esteem. A race of people is much like an individual. It cannot command respect unless it respects itself, and with innumerable large stores in New York where it is a serious offense for a saleswoman to be discourteous to anybody, there is a queer mental twist about people who will deliberately give their dimes and dollars to a concern that will not serve such and every one of them the same as it does the members of any other race. Certainly every colored woman in New York should have felt with keen indignation and resentment the treatment of the women who were discriminated against, and should have shamed it by boycotting any store that would permit such indignities to customers. It is superfluous to say that in New York we have opportunities denied our friends in the Southland, and by our actions here we either help or hurt them. When we complacently take insults we are not only hurting ourselves but are hurting them. There are over 91,000 Negroes in New York. Let us suppose half this number are women. They can pretty surely influence the other half. What a tremendous strength we could bring to bear on any situation affecting our interest if we were united! We would make and unmake business men and enterprises; we would indeed be forced to be reckoned with; but instead we are spit up by a thousand and many things, and thereby our power lies and we become the worst suffers.

The Republican Electors of the State of New York are hereby requested, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 801 of the laws of 1811 as amended, to convene a State Convention to be held at Convention Hall in the Village of Saratoga, Saratoga, on Wednesday, the 8th of September, 1811, twelve o'clock noon, to requalify the election of the Governor, secretary of state, controller, attorney-general, treasurer, state engineer and surveyor and associate Judges of the Court of Appeals of the State of New York to meet other business that may property come before the convention. Each assembly district in the state will be entitled to representation in acco- munity of the State convention of 1884. A schedule of representation is hereto annexed showing the number of dele- erent districts in the several assembly districts are entitled. To the Enrolled Republican Electors of the State of New York: At a meeting of the Republican State Committee held July 29, 1912, the Republican State Convention was called to convene at Saratoga Springs on Wednesday, September 11, 1912, for the purpose of naming candidates for governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary, attorney-general, state treasurer, state legislature and surveyor and two associate judges of the Court of Appeals. The unit of representation in that convention is the assembly district. Each assembly district is entitled to one vote for sovereignty and another vote one thousand votes cast for President in 1901, or major fraction thereof. The names of candidates for delegates may be placed upon the primary ballot in two ways, first, by designation of the candidate, and secondly, by petition of enrolled Republican voters within the assembly district to the number of at least 5 percent of the total enrollable votes in the district per cent of the vote cast for governor. As no assembly district in this state cast over 10,000 Republican voters for governor in 1919, the highest possible number of petitioners for the purpose of nomination in nomination candidates for delegates to the State Convention is 400. Ample notice is hereby given to the $44,000 enrolled Republicans in this state the opportunity to contend at this primary election to the state convention, so that the nominates of that convention may be named after the fullest and freshest expression of the thought and will of the electorate of the State of New York. The administration of the affairs of the state since January 1, 1911, when the Democratic party assumed full control of the state, arose widespread and positive conviction that a continuation of that control would be inimical to the best interests of the people of New York. The intent of the state that control was clearly disclosed by the result of the election of members of assembly in 1911 when the Democratic plurality of 67,461 for governor in 1911 was 66,196 for Republican plurality of 109,198 in 1911. The opportunity of the electorate to express its determination to make a change in the state government can only be accomplished by the republican party of the Republican state. It therefore is the duty of every Republican to participate in the primary to be elected September 17th in order that the delegates from New York, to whom unquestionably the toga Springs will be impressed with the responsibility resting upon them as the representatives of the $84,600 enrolment in New York, to whom unquestionably the electorate to look offer it candidates whose character is a sure guarantee that if elected the government of New York will be restored to its former standard of efficiency and constructive purpose.

For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Lose 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 just resort I did so, and later purchased two of them.

You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

ENTERTAINMENT SINCE magic and music were turned loose at the opening of Young's Casino on the evening of July 24, they have been going about this new palace of amusement unbridled and unrestrained. There have been summernight's dancefests in profession, dancefests which, in the majority of instances, have turned from summernight's into summermorn's, owing to the lateness of the hour. However, it was not until Thursday evening that a real, unadulterated, unmployed stage performance was given, the occasion being the fourth annual vaudeville show of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. The presence of actor felt on and off the stage gave the Casino a decidedly professional atmosphere, and the stage performance given by the vaudevillians was of sufficient merit to make their debut in new surroundings quite impressive. It has been utterly impossible for me on one or two occasions in former years to speak complimentary of the program put on by members of the association without feeling guilty of having broken one of the Ten Commandments, and I recall one performance which was so amateurish that I was compelled to make adverse comment. The jail offered by the vaudevillians Thursday evening, however, was the best ever, and every act Henry Dewey was entertaining. Besides, there were no stage waits, and everything went off smoothly. Albert Wells opened the bill, doing several difficult aerial stunts with the assistance of a chair. He was followed by Winfred and Martin in comedy and song. Although dancing has been plentiful at Young's Casino it was up to Martin to earn the distinction of being the first to dance on the stage. The team retired amid applause. Michaels and Michaels next did their turn. Dan Michaels has a new partner, the 'stealth within several months, but rumor has it that his new and spirightly team-mate either is or is to be his partner for life. It is said that he has hopes of keeping her. John Vanghner and Nettie Glenn are now doing a turn together in vancouver, and after indulging in their stunning specialty end by doing some clever footwork. One of the most popular enlisted performers in the business in Marsh Craig, who is back East after several years' absence. It is said that he was attracting attention as a contestant during the days of Koster and Real Even if this be true, Marsh Craig still shows that he is a contestant of no little ability. The selections played by the Musical Prampine are so pleasing that the audience would not stop applauding until they responded to an encore. The act seems to be in the class with some beverages on which the W. C. T. II wara战—improves with age. Seated in one section of the hall was "Rubey" Shelton, and in another Harry Fiddler. Leon Williams, president of the Colored Vanderbilt Benefactor Association, spied the members of this well-known team and announced from the stage that Fiddler and Shelton would favor those present with a song or two. Two brand new songs were tried out on the unsuspecting audience by these clever artists, which went big. Fiddler and Shelton confessed after singing the numbers that they had taken a big chance and used songs just out of the song-shop. The vaudville performance was advertised to start at 8:30 o'clock, but at that hour Young's Casino resembled the Polo Grounds at 9 a.m. New Yorkers will go to a show given at a regular theatre on time, but it is a difficult task getting them to attend a performance early in the evening when presented in a local casino. Usually the first arrivals put in an appearance about 9:30, and those in the box office have little to do but talk until 10 o'clock. The lowest prong was Frank Chappman, who had charge of the two companies, although Lenn Williams, W. H. K. and R.

After leaving the minstrels, where he worked with Ed Peat, Mr. McKenzie joined the Happy Four act. He was compelled to retire from the stage last spring on account of illness.

GOOD BILL AT CRESCENT. Last week the teachers had it easy at the Crescent Theatre, for the performances were poorly attended. This week they are earning every cent of their salary and some more, for the house is doing the biggest business' of any time during the summer. Manager Nibur does not know whether J. Leibniz Hill's Dixie Girls are responsible for the good business, or if the Crescent Stock Company is the main drawing card, so he has held both over. Judging from the applause, both acts are causing the rush at the box office. There has not been an act at the Crescent that has commanded more attention than his Dixie Girls. They not only sing and dance out of the ordinary, but have several changes of costume. Even Robinson has always impressed as a clever singer and dancer with a promising future. Mayme Ruther's big contralto voice has never been heard to better advantage, and Edith Waddell and Marie Banks are two young singers who hear watching. This act is of big time caliber. The Crescent Stock Company is again on duty, and Meera, Hume, Company and Martin are the chief funders of the company. the skit are many. With a good stage manager, the proper scenery and costumes and a larger, cast the Crescent Stock Company would occasion serious consideration. FROGS TO BE MINSTREL MEN. ON Labor Day, September 2, at Young's Casino, the Frogs will present a minstrel performance in which it is promised that the full strength of the organization will appear. The program will consist of a first part, entitled "In the Garden of King Frog," and each member will make his appearance under the good, old-fashioned burnt cork—the interlocutor, ballad singers, lambos and bones. A new barrel of jokes will be opened for the edification of the public. One of the laughing hits of the entertainment will be the afterpiece entitled "Slewfoot Pete, or Who Tickled Lize?" the complications arising out of one of the guests tickling Aunt Mandy's daughter at a ball given in her honor. There will be dancing after the performance. In the afternoon the ladies' golden contest dance will be held, with many novel features. NEW FACES WITH SMART SET CO. The annual tour of the Smart Set Company, headed by S. H. Dudley, will be inaugurated the latter part of September. The vehicle to be used as the foundation of the entertainment during the coming season is a reconstructed and greatly improved version of "Doctor Beans from Boston," one of the company's most popular successes. New music has been composed by James Reese Europe and several novel situations introduced to enhance the comedy. Many new faces will be seen both in the cast and chorus, although several ```markdown ``` of the popular favorites such as Henry Troy and James Burris are still in the roster. Mr. Dudley will only visit the larger cities next season, owing to the demand for his personal attention in connection with his circuit of theatres. It is the intention of the management to organize an all-star company for the season of 1913-14, appearing for a limited number of performances only in such theatres as the Auditorium, Chicago, Academy of Music, Philadelphia; Music Hall, Boston, and the larger amusement halls in Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis and Kansas City. The company will number one hundred people and embrace all the leading colored artists. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A. WALTON THE JOHNSON-JEANNETTE BOUT AFTER searching every nook and corner of the earth for a "white hope" to give Champion Jack Johnson a serious argument at fist-cuffs, and all to no good purpose, those most active in this world-wide search have hit upon another plan of attack—to try and recapture the championship title through a "black hope." There are many white writers who believe that if either Jeannette, Langford or McVea defeated Johnson the going would be much easier for some white aspirant for championship honors. It is thought that these three colored boxes would be more apt to lose heart before some aggressive Caucasian; as for Johnson, there is no white man living who can frighten him, and many writers think that if the champion becomes afflicted with nervous prostration in the ring a brother of ebony hue will be the provocator. So, after many weeks of dickering, the McMahon Brothers have induced the champion to meet Jeannette in the near future in a ten-round bout before one of the local clubs. Some writers on our daily papers have waxed more enthusiastic over the fight situation since that memorable event on July 4 a few years ago. They seem to see a ray of hope in the Johnson-Jeannette bout, although it is not likely that a championship contest will be settled in ten rounds, even if Jeannette is the victor. Johnson and Jeannette have met in the ring on seven different occasions and at no time was the question of superiority delimitely settled. Of course all these meetings took place before Johnson became heavyweight champion, but as defender of the title it is no more than right that he meet Jeannette, as well as all white and colored fighters who are supposed to be in or near his class. That Johnson is a Negro without any question of a doubt has always been a source of gratification to me; for had he been even of a dark brown in hue long ago some white writers would have sought to prove that he was other than of African extraction. For instance, the following excerpt taken from an article recently appearing in the New York Evening Sun, in which an attempt to discuss Jeannette about grimful lives, above what would BASEBALL POLO GROUNDS, 155th St. and 8th Ave. Cuban Stars vs. Lincoln Giants This SATURDAY Aug. 24, 1912 GAME CALLED AT 3:30 P.M.

His features are more of the Hindu or North American Indian type than the full blooded Negro. His skin is a rich nut brown and when he is in perfect condition it glows with health, which, together with his wonderful peculiar structure, makes him a slight worth more than a second glance. The writer on the New York Evening Sun is as ignorant on the Negro question as the majority of white citizens of this country. Perhaps the information that full-blooded Negroes are none too plentiful nowadays, and that the law is if a person has one drop of Negro blood in his veins he is a Negro, which gives the race great latitude, and allows us to claim as our own those of lily-white complexion, blue eyes and blonde hair—many of whom, however, prefer to be known as white, irrespective of the law, for business purposes. There are two more colored fighters who will probably demand that Johnson give them a chance in the fistic arena—Langiord and McVea. As the former is already nicknamed the "Boston tar-baby," it will be impossible to associate his features with the Hindu or North American Indian. McVea is also of inky blackness, so the Negro race is safe from extinction in the prize ring for a time at least, even if Johnson falls by the wayside. Mendez vs. Redding at Polo Grounds For the first time this season the Lincoln Giants and Cuban Stars will clash at the Polo Grounds in what will be a hard-fought contest. Mendez and Redding will do the pitching, and a battle royal between these two crack slab artists is anticipated. Game will be called at 3:30. GEO. CATLIN Ol Kelley and Catlin Nine Different Ways to Make Balk. What seems to be the most mystifying of all subjects to the student of baseball is. What is a balk? But there are others who find the balk question puzzling, namely, the umpire and player. According to the rule-makers there are nine different ways to make a balk, its follows: 1. The pitcher starts to deliver the ball to the batsman or to throw to first base when there is a runner on first base, and does not complete the pitch or unhesitatingly. 2. If the pitcher throws the ball to any base occupied by a runner and does not step directly toward that base making the throw. 3. If the pitcher delivers the ball to the batsman while either foot is back ALEX ROGERS Manager Young's Casino ALEX ROOGERS Manchester Young's Casino of his slab. 4. If he pitches the ball without facing the batsman. 5. If he pitches the ball without keeping one foot on the slab. 6. If he pitches the ball so long that in the umpire's opinion, he is doing it to delay the game. 7. If the pitcher gets into position to pitch without having the ball in his possession. 8. If the pitcher makes any of the motions habitually used in pitching to the batsman and does not go through with the delivery to the plate. 9. If the other steps outside the lines of his position preparatory to re-cycling a pitched ball. When a balk is decided for any of these causes every base runner advances one base without liability to be put out, because the declaring of the balk automatically puts the ball out of play. If there are runners on third and first bases, for instance, and a balk is made toward first, both runners are reminded that every base runner is entitled to one base on every balk, but the batsman does not go to first. The umpire is supposed to declare a balk without being appealed to, but he geldom has that chance, for 1,000,-000 claims of balks are made by the coaches for every balk declared. The pitcher cannot make a balk until he is on the slab. A bluff throw to first base is not a balk unless first base is occupied. A bluff throw to second base is not a balk, but if the pitcher stands in his position and makes a throw to any occupied base without stepping toward the base it is a balk. The fourth, sixth and eighth ways of making balks practically are dead letters. The pitcher is not required to face the batman all the time he is going through his motions. No one calls the pitcher a wizard, penalized for playing the game by holding the ball while on the slab, and every good pitcher makes some of the motions habitual to his delivery every time he makes a throw to a base. The third way of making a balk is for the pitcher to start with one on behind the plate, and then on his side, the detection of this kind of balk Clark Griffith is a world’s champion, but he sold him gets them called.
