VOL. XXVI. No. 2. ESERT THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE And Moosers Announce Inten- tions of Voting for Job Hedges OPPOSITION TO STRAUS Progressive Candidate, for Gov- ernor Charged with Discharg- ing Negroes while in Cabinet US ACTIONS AT CHICAGO And Resolution Tabled at Third Party Convention Which Opposed Discrimin- ation Against Negro in Politics. Every Sunday afternoon the office of the undertaking establishment of J. C. Thomas, 89 West 134th street, is the meeting place for well-known Negroes who are deeply interested in politics, and despite the fact that the place is conducted in the interest of the dead, some very live issues are intelligently discussed. Men of all grades of political opinion are wont to congregate at the Thomas establishment, and last Sunday afternoon three-cornered discussion was held, which resulted in a big victory for the Republicans, as several Bull Moosers publicly announced that they intended to support Job Hedges, the Republican candidate for governor. Among those present were Assistant District Attorney C. W. McDonald, P. A. Payton, General Stewart and Secretary who were spotted by the Republican party; J. R. Baldwin, Baldwin and William Freeware who are supporting the Democratic Presidential and gubernatorial candidates. Taft, Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were highly spoken by their supporters, and each speaker felt confident that the Negro would benefit by the election of his candidate for President. After a lengthy discussion in which Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson were praised and censured in turn, the talk turned toward the race for Governor of New York, and the names of Hedges, Sulzer and Straus were mentioned. The Bull Moosers claimed that the Negroes should support Oscar S. Straus because he was an able citizen of high ideals, who had done much for humanity, and was a sincere friend of the Negro. "Soil" Johnson insisted that Straus was not a friend of the Negro, and produced statistics showing that while Secretary of Commerce and Labor Straus had demoted Negroes, discharged a large number and had always catered to those with Southern prejudices. Republicans Produce Damaging Evidence. Mr. Johnson was backed up in his charges by Gichirch Stewart, who referred to Strans' position at the meeting of the Third Party at Chicago, when he moved to table the resolution to disqualify him against the Nero. In his pocket Mr. Stewart produced a copy of the New York Evening Mail, a stance Roosevelt paper, of August 5, and read the following article under the caption—"Negro Problem Worries New York Delegation": The feeling over the Negro Problem is momentarily growing more bitter among the delegates to the National Progressive Convention. There is certain to be a prolonged light on the prosecution and the resolution committee over the attitude of the new party to the Negro of the South. Everett Colby, one of the leading New Jersey Progressives, is emphatically opposed to discrimination against the Negro and is working with Prof. Hayes of Cornell, and other men to have the convention go on record for the black man. Scores of prominent Negroes are here demanding a recognition of their race. The New York defense, sitting as an adjourned session of the State Convention, split over the question and tabled a resolution deal with the matter. Prof. Joel E. Johnson, formerly of Columbia, Prof. Alexander Hayes, of Cornell, and Dr. Henry Olozovitz came into the meeting after conference with Col. Roosevelt and presented the action of the convention, following resolution. The National Progressive Party recognizes that distinction of race or class in political life have no place in the Democracy. Expectations of the party realize that a million million people who in a great man's hands from now on are the labor system, established family/life, accumulated billion dollars of real property, including ten million acres of land and reduced their litteracy from their per cent, deprived them of their government. The National Progressive Party, therefore, asserts the Americans of Africa as the continent of its deep interest, welfare and in the gradual growth of his political power. had seen the resolution. 'Yes,' he replied. "I move that the resolution be tabled," said Mr. Straus. On a rising vote the resolution was tabled eighty-two to twenty-three. Apparently it was Mr. Straus' idea not to tie the New York Progressives up to any stand on the Negro problem which might prove embarrassing to Col. Roosevelt. PLAN WHIRWIND CAMPAIGN Advisory Disposition to Republican National Committee Holds Improvement Commission—Barnetters News Chapter of Various Libraries Lightning Bolt Distributed from Colorado Republican Club. An important conference of the Advisory Committee to the Republican National Committee appointed by National Chairman Hilles, was held Saturday at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in the Times Building, when matters pertaining to the colored voters in the present Presidential campaign were discussed. Arrangements were made to inaugurate a whirlwind campaign in the debatable states. Reports made by members of the committee, from the various sections of the country showed that prospects for a Republican victory at the polls in November are growing brighter, and that President Taft is steadily gaining in strength. The Advisory Committee is co-operating with the National Republican Committee, and has the general management of the campaign among colored voters. Literature of interest is being distributed from the Colored Republican Club, 70 W. 131st stree, which is in charge of Fred R. Moore and Gilchrist Stewart. Mr. Stewart will spend a large part of his time at the club. At Saturday's meeting the supervision of states was apportioned as follows: Gilchrist Stewart and Fred R. Moore, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; Harry S. Cummings and Dr. Ernest Lyon, Maryland and Delaware; J. L. Poues, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky; J. Solomon Gaines, Massachusetts, Competitent. Vermont and Rhode Island; Hai J. R. Jackson, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana; Paul Watson, New York, Pennsylvania; John BOOSEVELT LEADER THREATENS Chauney' Dewey of Illinois Tells Negroes that Unites Colored Veterans Support Third Party the Bull Moons Will Join Hands with Democrats and Make Things Uncomfortable for Negra. "The Negroes are making the mistake of their lives. The time has come when the Republican party is going to make the Democratic are their enemies. They had better make their peace with the new Progressive party. If they don't we will join hands with the Democratic party and disfranchise the Negroes in North. We cannot think that they should not appoint any Negroes in the South." —Chauney Dewey of Illinois. --- Special to THE NEW YORK AGN Chicago, Ill., October 8.—The cat is out of the bag! From the very outset it has been contended that the Progressives intended to do all in their power to disfranchise the northern colored people, and that they were exploiting the candidacy of Roosevelt in the interest of the Democratic party, but loyal Republicans never dreamed that they would brag about it. Chaucerey Dewey. Progressive National Committeeman from the State of Illinois. Director of the Roosevelt campaign in the western states, an intimate friend and personal adviser of Theodore Roosevelt, has onely threatened that the Bull Moose party will join hands with the Democrats and accomplish the disfranchisement of the northern Negro. He glosted over the unholy alliance between the Progressives and the Democrats, and admitted that his party was trying to destroy the grand old party of Lincoln and Grant. He used the threat of disfranchisement to clout the intelligent colored voters of the North into the corral of the Bull Moosers. Last week several colored men of local and national prominence gathered at the Progressive headquarters at the La Salle Hotel, and were discussing the political issues in an informal way. Those present were S. B. Turner, editor of the Illinois Idea; E. E. Wilson, a well-known lawyer and former partner of Edward Morris; Maj. John R. Lynch, U. S. A. (retired), formerly paymaster in the army; Beatregard F. Mosley, an active Roosevelt man and a candidate for elector on the Progressive ticket, and some few others. Finally Channey Dewey, who is director of the headquarters came in and took part in the discussion. Remarking that the colored people were generally fighting shy of the new party, Mr. Dewey declared with vehemence and striking his net violently upon the desk: "The Negroes are making the mistake of their lives. The time has come when the Republican party cannot protect them, and the Democratic party their enemy. They had better make their peace with the Progressive party. If they don't we will join hands with the Democratic party and disfranchise the Negroes in the North." "Vengeance as desire a pall fell upon the astonished colored men. It took minutes for them to transcribe to their minds what their ears heard. S. B. NO CHARGE FOR TUITION The first school for colored children established by the Catholic Church in New York City is located at 61 West 154th street, and is under the control of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which branch of the Catholic sisterhood works entirely among the Negroes and Indians. While this is the first school to be established in New York, this order has already a number of schools for colored children in other sections. An academy or high school is located at Nashville, Tenn., and industrial school is at Rockcastle, Va., and at Cornwell, Pa., just out from Philadelphia. Then there is a public school in Philadelphia, and the sisters teach in another school in that city. They are also engaged in the public schools in Chicago and Cleveland. The school in New York is known as St. Mark's School for Colored Children, it was opened on September 1, 1912, with staff of four teachers and an enrollment of approximately seven pupils. The curriculum covers the eight grades of the grammar course. At present all the children in the school are from the homes of Catholic families. The Mother Superior in charge of the school explained to an Age representative that while the institution receives only Catholic children at present, in the near future the door will be opened to children of the Protestant denominations as well. also expressed himself, as being well pleased with the outlook for success, which is encouraging. The children are prompt and regular in attendance, and apt in class room work. A high standard is set for the pupils, and they are required to conform to it. The conditions under which the school is operated make it possible for them to pay attention to the child's individual characteristics. Truancy is unknown. Absence from school is always accounted for in a manner satisfactory to the teachers. The tuition is free, there being no charge of any kind attached to attendance in this school. The books are furnished and all lessons of a literary nature are arranged with a view to engendering a religious trend of thought. In the reading, for instance, lessons are largely taken from the Bible when grades are reached which are advanced enough for the child to understand the subject matter. In the first and second grades, which are in one room, the little tots are given a great deal of nature work, and it is very interesting to hear them recite in unison simple verses which teach them some vital truth. Songs are also taught them as the lessons progress, and each song has some germ which is naturally planted in their little minds, and which will develop eventually into a gnide for action in their future life. The entire building at 61 West 134th street is used for the school work. The sisters have their home at 50 West 134th street, and here the people of the neighborhood are always made welcome in the evenings. In the neighborhood are a number of folks who have attended schools of this order in various other sections, and it is a source of great pleasure to these consecrated women to have these former pupils come in to see them and so keep in touch with the lives they have had so much to do with shaping. Visits are made by these good sisters to families in case of sickness and death, and aid and consolation is always freely extended. It is hardly possible to calculate the amount of good that is being accomplished by the development of this work. Reaching the very heart of the family through the children, lessons of sobriety and right living are incubated and an influence established that will last the child throughout life, and which indirectly is bound to have its effect upon the parents and older members of the family. Religious services are held at the St. Mark's Church, 134th street, near Lenox avenue, of which the Rev. Father Plunkett is priest in charge. This is the second church established for colored Catholics in New York, the first being the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, in West 33d street. St. Marks has a large congregation, and the services are always largely attended. A surplied choir is maintained, composed entirely of Negro men and boys. School work by the sisterhood among the Indians is quite extensive. They are teaching at Catlise P. Ph. and several schools are located in the West, notably at St. Michaels, Ariz.; Santa Fe, N.M. and Winnfield, Neb. The sisters engage largely in settlement work in the neighborhoods where they are located, and do an immense good in incubating a knowledge of the right principles of living. Visits are made to prisons in the different communities, and the influence of the sisters is exerted to benefit the inmates during their incarceration and after they have served their prison of imprisonment.

When this call was sounded Monday evening, October 7, in the halls of the Hotel Bellmen's Beneficial Association, 343 West 35th street, every man on the bench responded, because they all knew that an elegant dinner was to be served, and not a man wanted to be missing. The occasion was the testimonial dinner tendered the committee which managed the arrangements for their eighteenth annual picnic and summernights festival with such splendid capacity as to make it a most stunendous success. The elbrooms are most suitably arranged for such a function as this, and the members responded in large numbers that the picnic committee might have no doubt as to the appreciation of its efforts by the association. Covers were laid for forty-five, and nearly every seat was taken. Quite a number subscribed who were not present.

LEGAL PROCEDURES USER GRATTION ESTATE New York Women Appears on the Scenes and Pulp in Widow's Claim PHILAELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 8—Complications concerning the marriage or marriages of the late William H. ("Billy") Gratton, is delaying the settlement of his estate. These complications were brought about by the arrival here of Mrs. Lettie Mason Gratton, 86 West 130th street, New York, who claims that she was married to Mr. Gratton on April 3, 1886, at the parsonage of the Abysinian Baptist Church, New York, by the Rev. Mr. Speelman, Mrs. Lettie Gratton has been in constant communication with Mr. Gratton, she claims, and though he has not lived in New York she says he has visited her on a number of occasions. She is stopping while in the city with Sydney Purnell, 1005 South 17th street. Mr. Gratton's son, William Norman Bratton, is at the same place. Mr. Purnell appears to be Mrs. Lettie Gratton's adviser, and it seems that legal steps have already been taken to establish the legal rights of Mrs. Lettie Gratton. The second Mrs. Gratton is residing at 1552 S. Carlisle street, and the mother of Mr. Gratton, from Jacksonville, Fla., is with her. Mr. Gratton left a will and divided his estate to the second Mrs. Gratton. Expenses occurring from legal proceedings Gratton claims to be the mother of Mr. Gratton's son, Mrs. Lettie Gratton not having had any children. It is generally thought that fear of exposure by Mrs. Lettie Gratton, his first wife, led Mr. Gratton to commit suicide. The funeral services were held from the undertaking parlor of W. W. Caselle, 917 S. 17th street, on Saturday morning, September 28. This was in accordance with his expressed desire as shown in a letter left to the second Mrs. Gratton. The body lay in state at the Hotel Brotherhood Headquarters, and large numbers of his friends viewed the remains. "Billy" Gratton, as he was familiarly known, was one of the most popular men in Philadelphia, and his untimely end is deeply and sincerely mourned. The Rev. C. A. Tindley was the officiating minister and the interment was at Eden cemetery. The floral tributes were costly and abundant. The second Mrs. Gratton has expressed herself as being loyal to Mr. Gratton's memory, and will do everything she can to save his name from being mismerced. The matter will probably be thrashed out in the courts, and because Mr. Gratton's prominence and wide circle of friends, the proceedings will be watched with much interest. RE-ELECT W. T. BLUE COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 8.—At the annual session of the Colored Business Men's League Association of Ohio last week Nelson T. Blue was re-elected president. Nathan D. Brasher was chairman of the meeting. The feasibility of opening a department store in Cleveland for Negroes was discussed. SIR Bertender Aska Pflanzen Coin a Bleu Awaye Bar Awaye Bar a Maison in Dameville Not Want Negro Trade—Sebouls located at Eighth Avenue and Wight Street—Pressuations Lively to Follow. Beer, 15 cents a glass! Beer, $2 a glass! Sounds rather steep, but these are the prices prevailing in certain sections of Harlem when a Negro happens to be the customer in front of the bar. Persistent rumors as to the variations in charges for drinks when asked for by Negroes in certain bars upnown caused a representative of The Ask to make a short tour of personal investigation. With a friend, he entered the cafe at the southwest corner of 135th street and Eighth avenue. Several men were standing drinking and beer was generally the drink. Payment was made at the rate of 5 cents a glass in several cases, before the bartender approached the two Negroes. In a rough and abrupt manner he asked what was wanted. "Two glasses of beer," he was told. "Cost you 15 cents a glass," was his reply, with a frown, and he turned away, paying no more attention to the would-be customers. Leaving this saloon, the two men went directly across the street, and approached the bar in the Brighton Cafe, southeast corner of 135th street and Eighth avenue. Two street cleaners were standing at the bar, and they called for two glasses of beer, laying two nickels on the counter. They were served. The bartender then approached the two colored men who stood waiting, and very politely asked for their order. His courtesy causing them to feel sure that the report was not true about this particular place. The two men again called for "two beers." With a general smile and savest manner the polite bartender leaned over the counter and said: "Beer will cost you $2 a glass, boys!" The two street cleaners looked on with curiosity and probably wondering, how the two well-furnished and intelligent Negroes developed more courage to come, into that particular saloon, and feel great for beer. Such experiences in the saloon keepers, as is expected by those curators, already have begun to show about Negroes of New York the necessity of patronizing men of their own race who are trying to cater to their wants. There are a number of saloons in Harlem run by Negroes, and there are also a number of saloons run by white men who cater to the Negro trade. Investigation shows that the last-named class of saloons enjoy a large patronage from the Negroes while the saloons run by Negroes have to struggle and strive day and night to eke out a living. It is more than probable that a test will be made of some of these cases in order that it may be known whether the instrument is extortionate charges to a class of attorneys while another class is served at the same time at the regular rates. REV. STILES ABRESTED Wayman D. P. Wilson of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, Brings Two Suits Against Minister—Bond Is Secured and Rev. Stiles Presaches Sunday. Last Sunday morning many of the members of the Macedonia A. M. E. Church at Flushing, L. L. were ignorant of the difficulties that had beset their pastor, the Rev. Joseph Stiles, as he occupied the pulpit and gave them advice about living upright. Christian lives Little did they know that the Rev. Mr. Stiles had been arrested only a few days before, and had been help prisoner, until bond was furnished for his release by Mrs. Elizabeth Cisco, 54 Douglass street, Jamaica. The Rev. Mr. Stiles was arrested last Friday at the instance of Wayman D. P. Wilson, the young church worker who has been endecovating to secure the dismissal of the Rev. Mr. Stiles as a pastor of the A. M. E. connection for a number of months. Wilson, who is a member of the Bridge street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, was arrested several weeks ago because of the minister's desire to see him in custody, and the tables turned Friday when the young man had the Rev. Mr. Stiles arrested. The estrangement between Wilson and the Rev. Mr. Stiles occurred last June during the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Church at Binghamton, when Wilson preferred charges against Stiles, who was then pastor of the Bridge street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn. An affidavit was sent to the conference substantiating the immoral charges made against the minister. The Rev. Mr. Stiles was not sent to his former charge, but was given a church in Flushing. Proceedings charging criminal libel and for furnishing information of alleged felonious character for publication in Tug Acq. were instituted against Wilson by the Rev. Mr. Stiles. How ever, on September 12, Chief Justice Marian of Brooklyn dismissed both cases, holding that the minister had no good grounds on which to base his causes of action. Smarting under the inconvenience that the Rev. Mr. Stiles had caused him, Wilson filled two suits for $5,000 each, one alleging false imprisonment and the other unlawful prosecution. He also demanded that the minister put up bond to insure his presence in the Borough of Queens, and the Rev. Mr. Stiles was Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS WAITERS ARE TO LIVE IN STYLE Hotel Sagamore Management Erecting Large Dormitory for Help MANY CONVENIENCES Building to Have 150 Booms with Toilet, Bath and Running Water on Every Floor CHAMPIONED WAITERS' CAUSE Thomas A. Madison Woodworker of Hotel Sagamore, Showed Management at Head of Moving Sanitary Quarters. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. SAGAMORE, N. Y., Oct. 9.—When the fifty-odd Negro waiters and the other colored help come to work at the Hotel Sagamore next summer they will find that the hotel management has erected for their exclusive use a three-story building, 102 feet long and forty-two feet wide with, bath, toilet and running water on each floor. Every convenience will be provided for their comfort. The building will contain 150 rooms, and the size of each room will be thirteen by eight and a half. It is now in progress of erection. Thomas A. Madison, the popular and efficient headwater of the Hotel Sagamore, is responsible for the new quarters for the colored help, and has succeeded in inducing the management to enact a large dormitory with proper sanitary conditions after making regular installations in his annual report for three years. At the annual session of the board last summer the recommendations of Mr. Madison were acted upon favorably, and arrangements were made to start erecting the new building October 1. The argument made by Headwaiter Madison to the hotel management was that sanitary quarters for the help meant much to the hotel. He gives marked attention to the cleanliness of his waiters, and believes that cleanliness and economy are questions that must be seriously considered by any waiter in order to become successful. Mr. Madison is also a firm believer in rigid discipline, and any waiter who wants to work for him must conform with the following rules: 1. Every waiter must clean his teeth and finger nails before each meal. 2. Every waiter must frequent the bath tub after ball games and other athletic sports. 3. Every waiter must be in his room at 11 o'clock at night. 4. No card playing for money is permissible at any time. 5. All waiters must be courteous, obliging and attentive. Mr. Madison thinks that it is the fault of the colored headwaiter that colored waiters are not more in demand throughout the country. "I believe that if many headwaiters would drop their selfish ideas and become more friendly toward the less informed waiters under them by telling them of the importance of being economical their services would be more satisfactory to the average manager," he declared. During the month of June Mr. Madison holds twice a week what is called mock service, in which he trains the men relative to what dishes and how they should be used. He also lectures once a week during the season (which opens in June and ends the last of September) giving his men instructions in the art of carrying the tray. Mr. Madison disagrees with those who assert that the colored waiter is not capable of working in hotels and restaurants where the European plan is in operation. He cites as an example the 20th Century Limited on the New York Central, which has European service with colored waiters. The most luxurious class of people ride on this train, and no complaint is ever heard about the inability of the Negro waiters to give first class service. It was also powered out by Mr. Madison when that the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans changed its service from American to the European plan a few years ago the colored waiters were retrained in the American breakfast on the American plan and luncheon on the European plan without a hitch. Mr. Madison says that the Negro makes a more competent waiter than the white man; that his memory cannot be beaten and if properly trained can creditably serve in any eating place whether the service be American or OUT OF TOWN CORRESPONDENCE KINGSTON N Y.

IN answer to a letter sent to the General Agents of the fund, Tink Aat is informed that in the final disbursement of the Peabody Educational Fund, amounting to more than a $1,000,000, the greater portion has been set apart for white education in Tennessee. In this school, white normal school teachers are to be trained. We are also informed that $350,000 was voted "to be used among the country schools of the Negro race." We suppose, that we ought to "throw off our hats" and proclaim ourselves immensely pleased and happy over this appropriation, but, nevertheless, we would have been much better pleased if, instead of disbursing this $350,000 thinly over a large section of territory, the $350,000 had been used in one place for some object similar to the one for which more than a million dollars has been appropriated for the Nashville school where these white normal school teachers are to be trained. The Negro people in the United States would, themselves like to have some such parrot an memorial to Peabody among it as has been so lavishly provided among the whites. The point we see to make is, that $350,000 thinly distributed over the rural districts of eleven States will do very little good in contact with $350,000 point into some permanent work as the trustees of the fund have done for the whites. Begridging the new tax of teachers not to be allowed to be left of visions made for every week, in nevertheless the feeling of the trustees could be used for the leg- arly amount of the money to do the largest amount of tax is needed of the communal The money is distributed under the guidance of the John F. Slater Fund. It is seen that when the trustees of the Probody Fund voted this money for such administration that it would have given generosity of feeling enough to have voted it for administration under the direction of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund for rural schools. The joker, if there be any joker at all, lies in the fact that we suspect that among the John F. Slater board there are no black people at all, and, therefore, they can have nothing to do with its administration; while on the Anna T. Jeanes Fund Board there are five or six of the most distinguished Negroes in the United States. MOOSEVELT GRAFT. Col. Roosevelt has reached Oyster Bay again, having spoken in twenty-seven States, filling all of them with strange and confused sounds, such as they had not heard before and may not hear again, because Nature has fixed long lapses of years between the coming and going of that sort of man, a wise provision of dear Nature for which mankind in all ages have been grateful. But it not to be expected that Col. Roosevelt will remain for long at Oyster Bay. Sagamore Hill, on the top of which he separates himself from the remainder of mankind when he does, has no spirit sufficiently strong to hold the Colonel in the seclusion that is the death of restless souls. His is a soul akin to the fabled Prometheus chained to the rock, with his eyes fixed upon the sun and unprotected from the fierce greed of the cultures, and the real Napoleon Bonaparte, obedient upon the barren rocks of St. Helena, looking hopefully across the blue waters to beautiful Birtahus France, with a danger in --- Minnesota Municipal Commission of the Second United Order of Old Believers at the Baltimore meeting in 1919 and at the Atlanta meeting in 1912. At the Baltimore meeting a cut and dried program was carried through which necessitated high-handed methods, such as scandalize and disrupt organizations as they invariably have States, and will continue to do so as long as men honor "a square deal" and abhor "a square steal" in all of the relations of life. The men who did this at Baltimore did it to promote their personal ambition and profit at the expense of the Order, openly and unblushingly. At the Atlanta meeting no program was allowed to go through, the officers elected at the Baltimore meeting holding over by decision of the Grand Master to the meeting of 1914. Why? Because those who had hung together at Baltimore hanged separately at Atlanta. The Big Wigs had fallen out among themselves over the division of the honors and emoluments of the Order. It remained for Mr. Benjamin Jefferson Davis of Georgia to make it plain for the first time as he did in the exhaustive letter published in The Age of September 26, that "a gentlemen's agreement" among Odd Fellows existed at Baltimore and at Atlanta to "steam roller" the situation, to the end that the men in it should have their personal ambition and profit promoted at the expense of the Order. The statement made by Mr. Davis as published in The Age should arouse every member of the Order in the United States to the fact that the affairs of the Order are in the hands, and will be for two years more, of as unscrupulous a set of grafters as ever looted a bank or disrupted a State. A million men and the affairs of their Order at the mercy of two such crafty, dishonest and insolent men as Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, and Benjamin Jefferson Davis, of Georgia, will have no one but themselves to blame for the destruction of the Order if they do not at the earliest possible moment get rid of the conspirators and reorganize their affairs. Mr. Davis furnishes the evidence needed to justify such procedure in the following from his letter published in The Age September 26: There was some disregard for instructions among delegates, but this disregard was not serious enough to in any way affect the result the people had a right to expect. And to be frank and fair with 80 per cent of the delegates to the 16th B. M. C., I must confess I have no complaint. They did not expect any opposition to me, any more than I expected it, for the reason a gentleman's agreement existed between the Grand Master, myself and every member of the Committee, and we had a right to rely upon every member of the agreement as a gentleman and brother. We had no right to suppose there was a Judas or traitor in our camp, and for that reason, no provision or caution was taken against the result recorded. We were mailed because our confidence and faith in the integrity of our Grand Master who had begged his way into the mastership by a soleran promise and view as a gentleman and brother. In 1910, he made known to his brothers in July that he wanted to sail around the world, and while en route, he wanted to set up several lodges, in foreign countries and desired to be the head of the Order at that time, as it would insure him attention that he could not otherwise obtain. At that time, I was the choice of the brethren for Grand Master, but being a young man, I acquired and yielded to the wishes of my senior and master. Meanwhile, he had introduced through Dawson Lodge, No. 2456, the proposition to establish the Supreme Court, with the understanding that if the proposition were adopted and the Court established, he would not be a candidate for Grand Master in 1912, and would seek a place on the Supreme Court bench, as that was his highest ambition. He said he had no desire to be Grand Master for but a single term; felt that I deserved the place and ought to have it, and would stand loyalty by me for his successor in 1912. I was not a candidate for the bench, and only accepted the place after insistence from him and the S. C. M. My friends finally agreed that I should wait two years, relying absolutely upon his honor and integrity. "The gentleman's agreement" to run the Order for the benefit of Mr. Morris, Mr. Davis "and every member of the Committee" was made before the Baltimore meeting, in 1910, and in carrying it out the Order was scandalized in the proceedings and split in two parts as to the Order. Mr. Morris got what he schemed for at Baltimore because all the gentlemen in the agreement "toted" square with one another: Mr Davis did not get what he schemed for at Atlanta because, why? Let him explain in the following from The Age: It was then about 12 o'clock. I asked him what he would do about it. Mr. Morris said, "I will hold over. The title I secured at Baltimore is better than any I can secure here. There is no question on that title or its legality. I should hold the session a few hours longer and adjourn without a date, and by the authority in me vested, I declare that the present S. C. M. shall hold over two years." I said then that there was no need of our insisting upon a square deal. He said, "No square deal or anything else appeals to me. I am going to be Grand Master. I am Grand Master, and by the authority in me vested, I so declare myself." Then the Georgia delegation gathered together in the middle of the house, more than five hundred strong, and for an hour made the welkin ring, "Roll call, call the roll! Roll call, call the roll! Roll call, call the roll," but appeals fell upon deaf ears. His mind had been made up. The conspiracy was complete. Headed by a few mercenaries, he was determined to perpetuate the greatest outrage ever perpetrated against the Order and the honor of a man. This, too, was done in the teeth of a gentleman's agreement entered into two years ago and repeated and confirmed just a few hours before the election occurred. "I am a man! I made Morris master!" exclaims Mr. Davis. Perhaps. Like master like knave. When a great society like the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is at the mercy of such a master and such a knave Friendship, Love and Charity everywhere may well have cold feet. his stomach, consistently calling him away. What did it cost Col. Roosevelt to reach his Chicago Moosevelt convention, so as to be able to mount his voice upon the wings of sound, making all the world to hear him thunder: "We stand at Armageddon and we battle for the Lord"—pretending to forget he was really battling for "Me. Theodore Roosevelt." What did it cost? We may never know. Who furnished the money? We may never know. Anyhow, the Senate investigating committee has uncovered the fact that it cost $325,000 in New York County and Pennsylvania before the Chicago convention, the discredited Pittsburgh boss, Finn, expending alone some $144,308. It must have cost a million dollars to fetch off the Bull Moosevelt, convention at Chicago. And, it is alleged by Senator Boise Penrose that as much as $5,000 a vote was offered in vain to Southern delegates at the Republican convention. Where did Ross Moosevelt get the graft to reach Chicago? We may never know. It costs big money to "stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord," and big money does not grow on trees, but in the profits of big hose-like Mr. Finn and big trusts like those Mr. George W. Pekkins represents, and which Col. Roosevelt never tires of defending as public enemies, to be rooted. out as to the bosses and mercilessly regulated and controlled as to the trusts, when they are not for and with Col. Roosevelt. When a public man sets himself up as being better than all other public men, as Col. Roosevelt does, those who really believe in a square deal are justified in measuring him by the same standard he measures others. President Taft does not claim to be better than other public men; he claims to be as good as he is, and his record of long years of public service shows that he has been a wise, honest and faithful administrator in every position he has held, from prosecuting attorney of Hamilton County to President of the United States. No man should be elected President who imagines that he is bigger than the office and that the office needs him more than he needs the office. THE ABSURDITIES OF FASHION. We select the fashions in our clothes as in our politics. If fashion decrees that we wear absurdly fitting and looking clothes, and the clothiers have nothing of the fashion we desire, what do we do, how to the tyranny and absurdity of fashion makers? Not at all. We go straight to the tailor and order the clothes made as they should be. Take the tight fitting skirts and big some of them look like walking men for example. And when they underline to hold a car or mount a step they use only ram a chance of breaking their neck but they make a display of underpinning that causes vulgarity turn the face the other way. Broadly speaking, much of feminine underpinning is to shaped that it should never be exposed in public. Their dear owners should keep them concealed until they shape up. And now men are threatened with the tight-fitting fashions that prevailed in 1870-9. A Chicago dispatch contains the appalling information in the following; "Exhibits displayed at the joint convention of the Merchant Tailors' Society and the Custom Cutters' League show that men will not be permitted to wear what they please or what is comfortable. Form fitting coats and waist-coats with tight trousers prevail. Topcoats will be double-breasted, with velvet collars and edges. Collars, waist-coats and scarfs of the most violent colors are proper." What are we coming to when we allow the fashion leagues of the United States and Paris to force upon us styles that are vulgar to the eye and uncomfortable to the feeling. We once heard Henry Ward Beecher say he did not need a big pulpit to stand before because he had nothing to conceal, while his good friend Joseph Parker of the London Tabernacle needed the biggest sort of pulpit to stand before as he had nothing to expose. It is that way with men and women, the fat and the lean; they need to wear clothes that make them look and feel decent and comfortable. The bell-shaped trousers in fashion in the seventies were made to fit so tightly that fat men could not sit down and lean men could not get up comfortably and without possibly ripping a seam here and there. Men are again threatened with the absurd fashion. They should have spunk enough to tell the Merchant Tailors' Society and Custom Cutters League that the present style is plenty good enough As for us, we shall wear the coats and trousers we have on hand left over from other winters, because they have good service in them yet and times are too hard and money too scarce to follow the absurdities of fashion in new clothes we don't need. Wise readers of Turtz Age will do about it as we suggest and propose to do. The economic side of the question deserves more consideration than the fashion side. EDITORIAL NOTES There were no Negro delegates in the Democratic Convention held at Syracuse; 100 so-called Negro Democrats wended their way to the convention city for what to sit outside—not even invited in. After sifting the charges of fraud in the primary voting August 7, the State Democratic Committee of South Carolina has decided that Cole L. Please is the party nominee for Governor. The stench of it! Little Delaware, one of the nearest States on the map, has only 14,000 voters, but this year there are seven party stems asking to rule the State. A State legislature, the whipping point for a future would naturally be divided into seven warring factions. Very appropriately the Democratic Convention, in session in Syracuse Tuesday of last week, was opened without prayer at the first session, which "was considered a remarkable oversight." The Democratic party is a godless aggregation that does not pray in private and naturally forgets to do so in public. Mob wrestlers have been busy the past week in Maryland, Georgia, and many other Southern States. The poor Negro who falls upon the displeasure of his white neighbors, Col. Roosevelt, and the Progressive party, would turn them over to, catching it going and coming, guilty and not guilty. Speaking at Beverly, President Taft said, "It is time to quit tempering. If a man is a Republican let him say so, and let him support the ticket. If he is not, there has to be out of the party." There are a lot of people and some Negroes who are lying host while the battle rages, saying nothing, who will rise up after the election the loudest of the loud on the winning side. They are what Lord Macauley called "criminals" and Charles Dickens satirized as "Micewaters." They should be smoked out and kept out. A great many Bandana Negroes following the Bull Moosevelt are like the cook in the Greek comedy, who boasted "of frying a fish so exquisitely that it threw him grateful books from the pen." Col. Roosevelt has roasted the Negroes so unmercifully from Brownville to Armagodon that a few Bandana Negroes think they must throw him grateful books and words from the Spit over the Pit. "There's no accounting for taste," exclaimed the old mamma as the young daughter kissed the ugly cur. Gov. Marshall of Indiana, the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, says "Ol. Roosevelt enabled Mr.-J. P. Morgan to make $1,000,000," but he didn't say how much of it the Colonel got. Gov. Marshall snirches the character of Gov. Wilson, his running mate, when he said further: "I work as hard as Morgan, but I haven't made that amount. I haven't had a friend in the White House, but I will after next March." Now, he didn't mean that he is an honest man who has had no chance to be a graftor, but he said it, and it will be safer not to put the temptation in his way March 5, by voting for Taft and Sherman, instead of Wilson and Marshall, true vines of bad roots of Old Virginia. The Haytian navy, consisting of one disabled gunman, is stuck in a Philadel- MACHINE OSTROBAN THE PREJUDICE JIM GROWISM REFERENDUM AND RECALL PROMAR FROM MACHINE F. HOLLY phin dock, barraced with debt, and the Haytian Republic is threatened with strangulation by the American Government for interfering with Dominican Custom Houses on the frontier, which are under the protection of the Government of the United States. If the Little fish don't stay near the shore and be good the big fish will catch them and eat them. The Republican candidate for Governor of New York is not a calamity howler. Like President Taft, he stands for prosperity and looks prosperous. He not only knows how to laugh himself, but can make others laugh. It is a pleasure to vote for a man like Job Elmer Hodges, "a man what is a man," as Chimpanzee Fadden would say, "and isn't no leece." The solemnity of statesmanship is often the demagogy of submity. And now Col. Bryan has risen up in Wyoming against Boss Rule. When the Bosses rise up against themselves—Boss Rosevelt, Boss Wilson, Boss Bryan and Boss Charles Francis Murphy—how shall they stand! Boss Bryan thinks that Boss Murphy should be unhoused in New York State, and Boss Wilson thinks the same way. They were of that mind in the Baltimore convention. Now, if Boss Murphy should, turn on Boss Bryan and decide that he did not need Boss Wilson in the White House, could he get in there without Boss Murphy and the Tammany vote? They think so. What Boss Murphy thinks now, and will do November 5 is altogether another matter. But politicians of like sort are also human. Madame Nordica, the famous prima donna, it is announced, will help sing Gov. Wilson into the White House. Her husband, George W. Young, wanted the Democratic nomination for Governor in New Jersey, but Gov. Wilson turned him down. Perhaps Madame will think better of it and continue to hold her voice at $1,000 per for the music-loving few. Metered, there is not a poetic foot in Gov. Wilson's book of prose. Why should Madame Nordica mix up her superb melody with the rumorous bravages of the Democratic ass? Such a mixup should not be. The Springfield Union says: The Taft cause is steadily gaining ground, and its strength will increase every day from now on, especially in the great West country, but there is also evidence in the great Northeast east of Chicago. The South remains insubken in the Democratic faith. Nobody, except Col Ressault, expects it to learn anything or forget anything, and ten thousand Democrats, many of them drunken and riotous, shook the pillars of his faith when he undertook to speak to them in Atlanta last week. The Taft cause is gaining ground. The people have bad time to think over the relative merits of the candidates and platforms of the Republic, Democratic and Progressive parties, and so to separate the wheat from the chaff, the gold from the dress. Think it over; The Taft cause is gaining ground. Some people refuse to be satisfied with anything. A correspondent of the Democratic Philadelphia Record says, "The Bull Moose party uses a bandana handkerchief for a flag. It is the first party on record to wipe its nose on its flag." As we have pointed out, the bandana handkerchief used to be the distinctive headwear, and not nose piece, of the Negro slave women cooks and house servants—the "old grannies" and "mannies" of the dead past. If the spirit of the thing lives in the thing then the Bull Mooseveld must get a revengeful black gri-gri spirit to cope with every time they blow their noses in their bandana flag—avenging ghosts, so to speak, of Brownsville and Armaggedon. Gov. Wilson, like Mr. Oscar S. Straus, the Moosevelt, thinks he is "an unbossed Boss," one of those queer things of the nontender gender whose sex cannot be as certainted. Gov. Wilson, it is a duty and a pleasure to rotate, has damaged his chances for election to the Presidency by interfering arbitrarily in the factional fights of his party in New York and New Jersey. He said he wouldn't do it, but he could not deny himself the pleasure of butting in to help "do" Boss Murphy of New York and Boss Smith of New Jersey, men strong in their party councils when Gov. Wilson was a schoolmaster. Most schoolmasters are bossy by education. Gov. Wilson is one of the worst of the tribe. The same as Col. Moosevelt and Col. Bryan, Gov. Wilson's denunciation of Bosses and Boss Rule would fill a great big book. The son of the late Cornelius N. Bliss, long time treasurer of the National Rep- ublican Committee, testified before the Chippea Senate Committee last week that the Republican National Committee spent in the campaign of 1892 $11,000,000; $3, $400,000 in 1891; $3,000,000; 1900; $2, $400,000 in 1894; or $10,000,000 for the four campaigns. It is plain enough that if we are to have honest nominations and campaigns for elections the State and Nation will have to foot the bills, making selection by primary vote conclusive as to nomination and election by regular ballot conclusive as to election. This would do away with nominating conventions and their abuses, making the National Committee selected by primary vote in each State, the supreme party council. Poor but able men could then aspire to the highest and lowest offices, and the people could have the direct voice in selecting their representatives which they are now demanding in all of the States. A literary campaign through the mails and newspapers would be all that would be necessary, as the people are now mostly readers and thinkers. Should the Negro Vote the Democratic Ticket This Year? To the Editor of The Age: Now, as in former campaigns, there are a few Negro Democrats going up and down the country advising the colored citizen to vote for the Democratic nominee for the Presidency. Curiously enough, these gentlemen proclaim themselves in the most ardent and blatant tones to the self-constituted and appointed guardians of the race. They are most persistent in the matter of what they call rights and race manhood. They generally belong to some society with a national Interest. National Interest Political League, or the United Colored Democracy, etc. Their names are generally much larger than their membership. They denounce in force and they tangle disfranchisement, discrimination, segregation, lynching, and all the wrongs inflicted upon the colored people in the country, yet they are advising the colored citizen to vote for that party which has inflicted all these wrongs and outrages upon the colored people. They kiss the hand that smites them, for coin. They are not troubled about consistency. They are against the outrages, but they are in favor of the people who persecute their struggles. They complain that the Government does not protect them, but they present in party which does not protect them, and which manner would exclude them from participation in both Struggle and National Government. They argue that the Democratic Party has been an amount of the Negro because the Negro has been opposed to it. Does the Democratic party invite to the Negro to come into its party council in the South? Does it not even refuse his admission to its practices? Does it not disfranchise that wherever it has the power? Does not its leaders in the South defend lynching and disfranchisement in the most brutal terms? Are not its leaders in Congress advocating the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Has the National Democratic party ever had work to say in its platform for him in the party? If so, what does it promise him? Does it promise to improve the conditions now existing? Does it not regard the Negro Democrat as an object of ridicule and contempt? Is there any sense of salvation in putting your own heads in the mose for the lyncher? When the Democratic party proves it to be the friend of the Negro when it promises to reform its policy toward the Negro in the South, it will be time enough then for the colored voter to consider the matter of going to the Democratic party. One of the stock arguments used in favor of voting the Democratic ticket is that the Republican party has been in power for forty years, and has done nothing. The answer is that the Republican party has done all that has been done, and where the Republican party has been in power in the States—the great Republican States like New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and others—the Negro has been protected in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness in his franchise, has been protected in his civil rights made possible. All the hostile legislation against him has been in the Democratic States. No sensible Negro will be fooled by any such argument, because he knows that there are some things the Federal Government cannot do. As far as the Federal Government has had the power and authority under the Constitution, it has taken care to see that the Negro's rights were protected at least, there has been no backward step. Suppose the Republican party has not been all that the colored voter could wish, it has done more than the Democratic party has done. It has given him party representation and official representation in the National Government this year such as he has never had before in the history of the United States. He good and which he hold on to that which good and which has proved true, and reach out for the things which he desires from among friends? Should he strengthen the arm of his enemy or stand with his friends? It is a dangerous experiment to make that of seeing what the Democratic party will do. He knows what it has done in the past. Judged by the past, it will simply seek to find more securely the Democratic him. Can he secure the Democratic him? Patrick Henry said, "Is this the party wise men engage in in an ardent struggle for liberty?" The Third Baptist Church of Springfield, Mass., is about to lose another pastor, one of the most brilliant colored gentleman who has ever been in our city. It seems very strange that no minister can remain with this church. It was only a couple of years ago his predecessor, one of the most cultured and refined Christian gentleman that we have ever met, was compelled to see the church because of the unchristianity he received at the hands of some of his people. He was so badly treated by the church that we, the white people, had to come to his assistance. He left the city broken hearted. The pastor who is about to leave is of a different type. He is a manly man and far more brilliant than any other pastor of the church with whom we are acquainted. He is an eloquent preacher, whose discourses are not only scholarly but powerfully spiritual. We have gone to hear him on several occasions and are of the opinion that no congregation in our city is better ministered to from the pulpit on Sundays. He is a distinct credit to his race. He is not only a preacher of rare ability but a great church worker. The building of the Third Baptist Church is not the same old, shabby and dirty one in which the congregation was housed before he came. It is now a thoroughly renovated building, carpeted and papered and, to lend him comfort to the services, he succeeded in building through the kindness of Mr. Carnegie, magnificent pipe organ. No one can church but be conceived that a thoroughly consecrated minister was in charge. He has done a great work, and the church ought to congratulate itself on having such a pastor. But why should such a man leave? Why did the others leave? Why these frequent changes? Can a church proper under these conditions? Is the pastor immoral? No! he is one of the clearest pastors in the city. Is he dishonest? Oh no! he is too honest to serve of the officers. He gives too little to the church he goes to as a fault. But why does he go? Is the church with the church? It should seem so, from these frequent changes, but it is not the church. The fault is with the cases in the church, who will not allow the educated preschoolers to lead, but will have them to take orders and, if they won't, there can be no peace unless by separation. Any pastor who will not go down to the Haman of the Babylon will not not yet crying. This is too sad. Why is the church so wedded to his aid? In fact to leave him alone. The Haman of the church was soon excluded, however, and has become a roaring hen, evering all his influence in the service of His Natale Majesty. This pastor soon became tired, get very sick. The doctor advised him to change pastorates, and, for this reason he is about to turn over him nearly a thousand dollars in his money and allow them to owe him so much. He has great faith in them and they are doing all they can to raise his money, so that he can get away to a more desirable field. Now, after hearing the opinion of white pastors, we are convinced that the Third Baptist Church of this city will never be what it should until they are ignorant dancers and other church officials who are also about young men in their stead, who can appreciate progress and will readily fall in with progressive ideas in church work. This is the only church that we know of that has consistently fought against progress. We tried to get the pastor over the phone, but we had to or we could give you his opinion to the crying need of the church. We are Baptists and we do hate to see men of stultish character and great powers, who have shown their worth in other fields and who can build up our work, leave us because of the blindness of ignorant church bosses. This pastor goes but his work remains to his aid and to his help. A WHITE BRIDGE (1910) A WHITE FRIEND OF THE COL-RED RACE. Will Be an Age Subscriber as Long as He Lives. Winfield, La.

Man's work is mine, the woman born: My burried way in crowded morn. Is true unwillingly each morn, I bear a hungry heart. Man's love and babe's life hath denied; No leisure can to give a crust Is mine; swept omen with the tide Of those enslaved by lust Of gold, or load unjust. I would not vie with men for gain. Nor in the sun of ease would bank; I who man's burden bear with pain— I want my woman's task. Give this, O Lord, I ask: "Does a business life unit a woman for the position of wife and mother?" So asks a distinguished colored journalist. Let's see from a business woman's point of view. The desire of the average woman is for husband, home and babes; she is the exception who prefers the nerve-racking strain of a business career to the quiet comfort of home—"where hours untold and peaceful move," and she is shielded from life's buffetings and its hard places. The average colored man of family earns barely enough to make ends meet, consequently the wife is called upon to supplement husband's earnings by her efforts, and the daughter of the house is expected to choose a line of work for her own support. Therefore, it is Mother Necessity which throws the majority of women upon the world and says "hustle or starve." The question now is "What shall she do?" Each year adds to the number of colored business and professional men who are needing typists, stenographers, bookkeepers and clerks of all kinds. Shall the colored woman eschew these positions because they are in man's territory? Very wisely she says "no," and is showing her good sense in measuring up to requirements and refusing to allow these opportunities (so hard to get) to slip to women of other races A. M.

E, Churches in South America Church Maria Johanna Church Wakopam Church Wakenaam All Parties Making Bid for Negro Vote, But Majority of 50,000 Colored Voters Will Support Native Sen. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 8.—The colored voters of Ohio have a big opportunity this fall. No one believes that any party will have so many votes to spare that the 50,000 votes of Negro citizens will not mean anything. So all the parties are after this vote. The Democrats have an effective organization and are appealing to Negroes as never before, chiefly using the argument that a Democrat is all right if he lives north of the Ohio river. There are some Negroes who are politically ambitious, who work to use their influence for Willis with the hope that if he gets in there will be some nice jobs to hand and after the fourth of next March. The Progressives are after the Negro and say that Roosevelt is the man people and that he did not mean to throw the Negro out of politics So this mix-up of affairs is considerable interest but not real excitement. While there was considerable division among Ohio voters in the spring primaries, indica- tive are the colored voters of Ohio and by the Republican party this it is reasoned that while Presi- laft is not spectacular he is sin- they are reading of his quiet instments and learn that his record highout, as an American citizen, in the progress of the re- is consistent and trustworthy the masses of the colored voters of OHIOANS FOR TAFT. who should have no interest in marriage. Bemarkly, when college women had an opportunity the home they had to stick mostly to domestic service, but types change, and we are progressing and branching out in all lines of enjoyment as women of other races, and still do not purpose being unexposed by it. True, it may be that marriages are fewer, but if so it is largely because the woman on affairs views life with a clearer and broader vision than the woman who consequently remains in the home, if the man whom she can "love honor and obey" does not come her way she sees no reason to sacrifice her life and liberty for a shadow. Contrary to unfitting woman for marriage, business should make of her the very best kind of wife, for several reasons, viz.: She knows how uphill is a man's work and the worries that arise in business, so instead of "hardening her," it should make her more able to understand and deeply to sympathize with him. She appreciates the value of money, having had to carn it herself and knows that every penny represents hard work and should be allotted to some definite purpose. She knows by experience that a man may be tired at the end of the day and need the quiet and rest of a pleasant home for the battles to be fought on the morrow, and that he is not necessarily grouchy because he refuses to don his best bib and tucker and go "socializing." She knows that office hours may be sometimes stretched and won't fuss if dinner is delayed. She knows that jealousy is often foolish and will get her nothing, but may lose her a good deal. She doesn't make mountains of mole hills and worry a tired man at the end of the day with a lot of petty annoyances which she has experienced in her household routine. She also knows the need of a nourishing well-cooked dinner. There are many other good reasons, but, the above are sufficiently convincing to show that when a business woman gives her hand and heart to the man of her choice she is capable of making a first-class wife. in South America aria Johanna Ohio are far more interested in prosperity than they are in politics. They realize that never before in their lives has there been such general prosperity as now, never have they been so able to buy homes, furnish them comfortably, provide food and raiment for their children, give them an education, and lay by a few of Uncle Sam's good dollars for a rainy day. And this means much to the colored voter of Ohio, the thinking laboring man, progressive agriculturalist, and successful business man. They say further, that if it is political preferment Ohio Negroes have not fared badly. There are: Ralph W. Taylor, of Columbus, Auditor of the Navy; Charles A. Controll, of Toledo, Collector of Internal Revenue, Honolulu; H. I. Richard C. Bundy, of Cleveland, Secretary of the Legation, Monrovia, Liberig, Maj. Charles Young, now in Liberia, is an Ohio boy, born and reared in Zanesville Everyone knows that President Taft believes thoroughly in civil service. Under Republican administrations, the Negro has been given an equal opportunity in Ohio in the federal government and in all of the large cities. Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo, Toledo, and many smaller places. Librarians of colored men are employed by the federal government. In contrast to this the Democrats in the cities named, are turning men from the city government they had passed civil servantinations, and the Negro holds his position regardless. --- loved voters are broad and tho enjoy the inspiration of called state pride President Ohio man, and thus fact can- rhooked. the Republics carried thirty-five states out of forty-five, with 7,625 votes; 1808 found them, insofar their popular vote, and stated states added to their credit. Considering the wave of prosperity now overspreading the country, there is no need for a decrease. The people in this country are not ready as yet to place themselves in bankruptcy. To-day there is more money in circulation in this country, more work and better wages than ever before recorded, and, too, the farmer is receiving better prices for his products, and is finding better treatment at the hands of the Republican party than for many prior administrations. As the days go by it continues to develop that the people of this nation made no error when they elected Judge Taft. He stands for an honest deal and fair play. He is the spokesman of the party to which the nation owes a debt of gratitude for every great national law under which we have grown to greatness is a free people. We should be bitterly opposed to Roosevelt because, though, twice honored by the first office in the gift of the people, saved in the battle of Santiago, yet, he turns upon us to make us serfs and drives us from a council that heretofore he begged us to follow and hold up as a criterion of righteousness. Now, he calls us venal coward and black rocks—the ingrate is the meanest creature that God has ever turned loose upon humanity, so says the poet. That stuff that constitutes real manhood is lacking In the Negro who makes up his mind to support him. In them we have admired and allowed him to dence in him, made possible by his deception has placarded the American panthers with bold headlines "NO NE-GROES WANTED." But the Republican party still sails as the "ship of the desert" and glides with all alike. And it is confidently believed that the vote of the conservative and thinking laboring men will go to President Taft. The people, it is generally expected, will prefer to try the tried administration and hold on to the grip that has proved safe and trusty. It is largely conceded that result of the Democrats as from the Republican, Axin, straw votes count for but little and is no authentic test to be used as a criterion. Everywhere, North, East, West and South, our exchanges bring us the cheering news that the inconsistent "Teddy" is being dropped and the people are lining up under the banner of Taft and real progress who are following the footsteps of Lincoln and human uplift. Let the Negroes everywhere know that Gov. Wilson, when in Georgia, as a lawyer, sought to hatch a "Jim Crow" log on to the cars to carry Negroes his dogs and freight. He told Negroes and assured that everything that would humiliate the Negro. Since his promotion to the presidency of Princeton, no Negro ever matriculated, and if elected President of the United States it is farewell to the Negro, provided his recommendations are adhered; we know him; he lived in Georgia, in his beginning. ROOSEVELT LEADER THREATEN8 Together in speaking of the incident, said that it was almost dramatic. "Most Mae Lynch, who is a Progressive soul," this way be your position, "I will know that it is not the stand assured by God. Respectfully." "We are reminded the Dull Muses had I have had a personal talk with you that he declared that if he be declared man from the South, I have the Lord of the South, and Mae Lynch, I know that he does not know from the South." Well, we shall report to Mr Dewey himself until the month this remarkable threat may be by the Bull Masse that threaten the colored voters of the North was indicated in Chicago until moved to the talks of the town. People who had known Mr Dewey for years demonstrated the truth of the report. Several of them went to see him in reference to it and he repeated what he had said at the la Salle to them. FIFTY YEARS' NEGRO PROGRESS (Springfield, Mass., Republican. Now that the successor of Abraham Lincoln has organized his new party, his counsels purified of the contaminating influence of the descendants of the men whose emancipation Abraham Lincoln the first proclaimed, it is an appropriate time to glance in review at the conditions of the Southern black man at the outbreak of the Civil War and his condition of being a highly interesting figure to help such a review have been marshaled by the promoters of a bill before Congress asking for a $250,000 appropriation for a Negro exposition in celebration of the semi-centennial of the emancipation proclamation. The black man may have to keep accusing for some time an enlistment in the Union company a bull mose convention, but he seems to have done pretty well. The Negro, it seems to be pretty well agreed, is indispensable in the South, at least at the present stage of its industrial development. At all events that he has found a livable country there is eloquently witnessed in the fact that his numbers have increased from 4,000,000 in 1800 to 10,000,000 in 1910. Meanwhile there is not lacking evidence that in some outward respects at least the Negro has been more successful than that accomplishment is evidence of quality. Before the war practically all the Negroes were slaves and illiterate; in 1800 the figures show illiteracy among the descendants 20.5 per cent. less than that of the white population of Spain, Russia, Romania, Hungary and not a few other European countries. By war of comparison nearer home the still more significant fact is pointed out that in Pennsylvania the illiteracy of the foreign population has increased in 20 years from 15 to 19 per cent., while that of the colored residents of the state has increased from 20 to 15 per cent. This compares with its disquisition phase, but it is not at the expense of the evidence regarding Negro progress potential and actual. Fifty years ago there were practically no American Negroes in professional life; there are more than 75,000. Fifty years ago there were more pilgrims; now his descendants are more FREDERICK'S BAY MARKET HAPPINESS HEALTH Pursue. Cure. Grow. Readings.

HARRIET LAWRENCE PERRELL Superintendent FOR STAPLE AND FANCY Groceros, Fruits & Vegetables GIVE ME A TRIAL Crescent Grocery Store 511 Banyan St. W. Palm Beach, Fl. NATHAN FREDERICK, Prop. aug 15 6pm COSTA BCN ADVERTISEMENTS CLARENCE A. ROCKE ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHER Lorner of 5th St. and 18th Avenue an article that had appeared in The Act which told of an incident at the Crescent Theatre, wherein a patron had misunderstood a youth who sells confections in the theatre, and whose English is of the broken variety, to say "Ice cream coon," instead of "Ice cream cone." Mr. M'Kee in reproducing the article in the Morning Telegraph commented on what he considered my broadminded attitude in appreciating the joke enough to refer to the incident in the columns of The Act, saying: In an age when ill-temper is frequently exhibited because of stage burlesque on some racial trait or characteristic, it is interesting to note that the American Negro is willing to laugh at a joke on himself. Lester A. Walton of The New York Age not only published the following article, but personally declares with keen enjoyment of the joke that it is a true story. In view of what is to follow I make mention of Mr. M'Kee's kindly reference to myself with a view to qualify ing as a Negro who can appreciate a joke on his race. I believe that the majority of Negroes possess sufficient native humor and a broadness of vision to thoroughly relish a stage joke whether it be on the Negro, Hebrew Irishman or German. We enjoy burlesques on the Negro, but there armeny white performers, particularly in the vaudeville world, who stray' far from the limits of burlesque, and be come positively insulting toward the race in what they probably consider character delineation and jokes. For instance, at a vaudeville house in East 86th street last week a white sister team was on the bill in a black face turn. The theatre in question, by the way, is located in a thickly Jewish population, and colored acts are usually well received. After indulging in tall that only intended to degrade the Negro the following dialog ensued between the pair, minus the exact language supposed to be spoken by the colored man, which I am unable to use: First girl: "Say, look here, Lize, what is the strongest smelling flower that grows?" Second girl: "Well, I have smelled some awful sweet flowers. There's violets, sweet peas and the tuberose." First girl: "Say, you ain't said mothin'. Why I know of a rose called Negrose (meaning Negroes) which smells so in the summer time that you have to put down the window to keep the scent out." Of course such "jokes" as this should be overlooked some white managers would have the effrontery to tell us, although Police Commissioner Waldo was compelled to station a small army of police at one of the local theatres last season to prevent bloodshed because the Irish citizens objected to references made to their race by The Irish Players which was not half as raw as the "joke" about the Negro. Aside from the evil effects such "jokes" have in unnecessarily degrading the race before a white audience, the colored performer is also greatly inconvenienced. This charge can be easily backed up by referring to the bill on which the sister team in black-face appeared. Following this act came a good colored singing act, consisting of four clever colored girls who can lay just claim to being attractive in appearance. In the first place who ever makes out the bill at this 86th street house should take lessons from someone who knows the business. No good reason could be given as to why two acts—one doing black-face and the other billed as a colored singing and dancing act—should be so close together. But the stage manager, or someone as equally incompetent, so arranged the bill that the colored act followed the sister team. Of course the audience, after having heard the Negro degraded for fifteen minutes or more was not quite ready to see good-looking colored girls come out and do a neat singing and dancing turn. The work of the sister team had been just to the opposite course, vulgar and suggestive. The result was that the act of real merit did not occasion the appreciation it meritoriously deserves. With the act "censored," the booking agent then tells the manager of the colored girls that the turn is too neat; that the white people do not want to see colored people nowadays doing such work, and that the only way for the act to make good is by putting in numbers more on the ragtime order and doing "stuff" expected of colored performers. By this the booking agent evidently meant that the colored girls must degrade the Negro as the white sister team did in black-face in order to win applause. As for ragtime numbers all the songs were of the syncopated variety except one. The vaudeville end of the theatrical game seems to be getting more and more a sort of a "piper's" business in which dramatic art is being assassinated and buried for the sake of the commercial end. Nowadays there are hundreds of vaudevillians who do not need a trunk to carry about from theatre to theatre their stage costumes, etc. the suitcase filling the joll. This is due in the main to the policy in force of booking acts at a theatre for one day only. To see a performer with a bundle of contracts would prompt you to think that the bad time galore when in fact the paper in his possession calls for just one week's work. But in writing this article it is not my aim to assail vauilleville for the stricly commercial aspect it has taken, but to show that while the Negro appreciates a joke on himself, he is unalterably opposed to stage "jokes" that are hurtful to the race and the colored theatrical profession. It is then then cease to be jokes and humorous and become tragic in significance.

On this Sunday evening's bill will appear, Tom Fletcher, Anita Bush and Company, the Stewart Brothers, Ross and Crandell, the Howards and others. THE CLEFS ARE COMING. THE CLEFS ARE COMING. If you are wondering where so many young men carrying violins, banjos, cellos, etc., are rushing, we will gladly nlighten you—they are speeding to the club house of the Clef in West 53rd street, the scene of activity since the members have hastened back to town in response to the call of Conductor Jamecee Europe. Fully 150 members attended the special meeting last Monday and ratified Conductor Europe's proposal to make this fall concert which will be held at Manhattan Casino on Thursday evening, November 7, the greatest in the history of the club. A spectacular surprise has been arranged, the foundation of which will be the wonderful electrical color display upon the immense orchestral setting on which the basic colors, blue and white, will beautifully blend while melodies sweet and entrancing greet the ear. The popular vein of music will be featured although the club will present its usual quota of original compositions, including singing ensembles for which the Clef is noted. The members, under the guidance of the conductor, assisted by Mr. Tyers, are daily endeavoring to cultivate that quality of musical tone so essential to their productions, while William Jordan, chairman of the house committee, and his staff of assistants in the office of the club are attending to the box and seat arrangements. PRESS ON COLERIDGE-TAYLOR IN commenting on the death of the late Samuel Coleridge-Taylor the Literary Digest refers to him as one whose music stands on its own merits among composers of leading rank irrespective of the race of its author. "Not only did the music world lose a distinguished member, but the race lost its most gifted musical genius on September 1 in the death of Mr. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor," says the Literary Digest. Continuing the publication says: "His career was brief, but brilliant, for he began to write music when no more than a youth. His age was thirty-seven, and a long list of musical compositions stand to his credit. Those based on the story of 'Hiawatha' are universally acknowledged his highest achievement. It is interesting to note that the primitive race of American was the inspiration of his greatest work, though he himself was no wise allied to this country. His father was a native of Sierra Leone and his mother was an Englishwoman." The London Times writes of Coleridge-Taylor as follows: "His mixed descent can not be forgotten in any study of his music, since it makes his work an interesting example to all who are concerned with the appearance of racial characteristics in music. For in any work which one may take up it it is obvious at once that he features in its melody, tone, and use of orchal color which distinguish it at one from the music of English composer he was born in London, all his early environment was English, and he was educated at the Royal College of Music his systematic education was principale to Col. A. Walters who after had given him his early training at church chiester sent him as a student at the Royal College at South Kensington in 1871. Coleridge-Taylor, hega studies here as a violinist, having and some previous training from Mr Joseph Peck 1876, but Sir George Grove, then he director of the college recognized that his chief ability lay in the direction of composition, and in 1893 he won an open scholarship in that subject. Therefore forth he worked the four years of his scholarship a under Sir Charles Stanford; and dur ```markdown ``` number of his works were produced at the students' concerts, and were recognized as possessing great promise." Says the Westminster Gazette in giving a brief sketch of the late musician's life: "In due course 'Iliacatina'—which is known wherever. English is spoken—found its way to America, and in 1904 its composer crossed the Atlantic to conduct its performance by a choir of Negroes—the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society of Washington—who greeted him with an ode beginning 'O thou illustrious one, whose genius, as the sun, illumines our race.' "No other work secured for Mr Coleridge-Taylor a similar success, but in his short life—he died at the early age of thirty-seven—he showed himself a prolific composer. The last of his works was numbered Opus 59. His festival commissions included 'The Blind Girl of Castel-kuille (Leeds, 1901), 'Meg Blane (Sheffield, 1902), 'The Atonement (Hereford, 1903), and 'Kubla Khan (Handel Society, 1900); and he composed incidental music for several Stephen Phillips dramas produced at His Majesty's Theatre-Herod' (1900), 'Ulysses' (1901), 'Nero' (1902), and 'Faust' (1908) "There is no doubt that he was the first person of color to achieve fame as a creative musician. He never visited his father's native country, West Africa, but he always expressed his belief in the West African's capacity for music. Negro music, moreover, held a great fascination for him; he studied it, wrote about it, and composed an orchestral rhapsody on Negro melodies for the Norfolk (Connecticut) Festival of 1910. "The last work of note to be written an performed in England was 'A Tale of Old Japan' (the setting of a poem by Alfred Noyes), which was produced last autumn at the Queen's Hall and secured warm praise. This was considered by the composer himself as the best work he had done." Says the Philadelphia Inquirer "There is nothing specifically African about his music, nor does he need any special consideration by readers of his race. He illustrated, as it had not been illustrated before, the love for musical utterance which is an oft-noted Negro trait, but his music has stood and will stand exclusively upon its own merits. It is rich in its harmony, charming in its tunefulness, and eloquent in its emotional appeal, and the man who wrote it was one of the most gifted and remarkable among the composers of the day. It is a thousand pities that he should have gone so soon." The death of Coleridge-Taylor gives the New York Evening Post an opportunity to discuss the subject "Higher Music of Negroes" and the charge is made that the barrier of race has kept colored musicians, with one or two exceptions, in the music hall and has made them ashamed of their best heritage the folk music of the plantations. Attention is called to the work of Will Marion Cook, and the observations of Kurt Schindler on Mr. Cook are published, which follow: "Most of his bigger works remained unprinted, and lacked the stamp of approval from authoritative white people that would have raised them above the level of morality" in which they flowed. "This revelation came at once at the concert given under the auspices of the New York Music School Settlement for Colored People. There were a great many representative white musicians and the entire New York musical press present, and there was a stir when the orchestra started to play the fascinating rhythms of Cook's 'Swing Along,' followed by a storm of applause; there was no one in that audience that did not feel that for once he had heard the 'real thing' the true Southern Negro idiom, worked out with clever musicianship and genial verve into a truly artistic manifestation. "This pleasurable surprise was equaled if not surpassed when the second part of the program brought another composition of Will Marion Cook: 'The Rain-Song.' To this delightfully quaint and naive dialect-poem the composer has found a melody well-nigh perfect in its idiomatic charm and in its close adaptation to the vocal inflections of the colored dialect. The musical form given to it (calling for six solo-singers to rise from the middle of the orchestra and say their little verse in turn with the full chorus 'responding') was as happy in its effect as it was natural and appropriate. This is music very close to nature indeed in its resources. "Mr. Cook's work at its best means no less than finding the proper musical correlative to the Negro idiom, and thus winning a new territory to music. A comparison with another man's work who has done a similar service to his nation becomes obvious when we look at Cook's masterpiece, his 'Exhortation' the sermon of a Negro deacon to his audience of darkies. Those who are familiar with the peasant-songs, the operas, and the humorous character-songs (like 'The Seminarist') of the great Russian, Mussorgsky, will realize the striking parallel that exists between the Russian composer and the Negro, although on such different grounds. What Mussorgsky has done for Russia in faithfully notating down the idioms of the Russian peasant—orphans, lay-priests, mothers, and children—has been accomplished in a way by Cook for his colored people. The effective characterization of the darky preacher (his savage eloquence, his tempestuous moods, his jolly comparisons) and the chorus of convinced devotees it is all humorous, delightful, melodious, and genial, while the great 'Amen', with its racial slurs and inflections, is an inspiration indeed." CRESCENT THEATRE Marion Brooks, formerly of the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, has brought East a young comedian by the name of Speedy Smith. We venture to predict that if the young man becomes a close student of the dramatic art some day he will make the pace for other comedians as his Christian name implies--speedy. Smith has some strong pipes which remind you of a calliope, but we will wait and see what the five shows per day do to his voice. Some performers have appeared in these parts with fortie voices which have turned into pianissimo etc many weeks. The Brooks Smith Players head the bill at the Crescent Theatre this week and Manager Nibur announces that the small company will make its home in Harlem for some time. The piece presented by Marion Brooks the first part of the week treated with a female barbershop, Speedy Smith playing the role of the female bootblack. While the piece is well constructed and the idea furnishes many amusing situations, much of the talk should be pruned and at least two more songs substituted. The young ladies in the act, judging from what little singing they did, have good voices, as well as Speedy Smith. Marion Brooks has developed as a student of dramatic construction, and with Speedy Smith doing the leading comedy parts, should enjoy a successful stay of several weeks at the Crescent. Theresa Burroughs, Alberta Williams and Luther Williams are in the act. Wiggins and Wiggins also won favor, the feature of the act being the dancing of the male members of the team. Burton and Watts should do more singing and less talking. Both have good singing voices which could be heard to advantage. Ludell Price, a member of the Brooks-Smith Players, does a single turn and gets a pause. St. Cyprian, Sra., Defoft Quenabore The St. Cyprian, Sra., met and de- feated the crack Queenaboro Basketball team at Young's Casino last Wednes- day evening to the tune of 54 to 20 The Speed Boys played with the St. Mark's five and scored 17 while the St. Mark's aggregation were hustling to keep from being blanked, finally gain- ing one basket just before the final whistle owing to the carelessness of the Speed Boys who merely played with their rivals. After the game at 12 o'clock the Quaker Dance was again introduced. The Quaker proved to be Harold Parker of the St. Christopher Club and the winners were Capt. H. Jackson and Clarence West who received $1.25 each for shaking the Quaker's hands. The Speed Boys will try out the Indian A. C. five while the Senior St. Cyprian team will wrestle with the fast Newton Red Socks this Wednesday evening.
