The following states were carried by Wilson: Alabama, 12; Arizona, 3; Arkansas, 9; Connecticut, 12; Delaware, 3; Florida, 6; Georgia, 14; Indiana, 15; Kentucky, 13; Louisiana, 10; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Masaachusets, 18; Minnesota, 12; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 18; Montana, 14; Nebraska, 8; Nevada, 2; New Jersey, 14; New Mexico, 3; New York, 45; North Carolina, 12; Ohio, 24; Oklahoma, 10; Oregon, 5; South Carolina, 9; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 20; Virginia, 12; West Virginia, 9; Wisconsin, 13; California, 13; Colorado, 6; Michigan, 15; New Hampshire, 4; North Dakota, 5; Idaho, 4; South Dakota, 5; and Rhode Island, 5.

The Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives by a large working majority, and they will have a majority in the United States Senate. William Sulzer has been elected Governor of New York by a plurality estimated at nearly 100,000. Job Hedges, the Republican candidate ran second and Oscar Straus, the Progressive candidate, third. Hedges ran strong up state, polling within 14,000 of the votes received by Sulzer. The Republican candidate for Governor ran about 100,000 ahead of Straus in the up state counties. The next New York Legislature will be Democratic. The Democrats have regained control of the Assembly, which they lost to the Republicans at the last election. From the returns to-date the votes received in the various states of the Union by the respective candidates The Man Farthest Down By This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery" and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such observations founded on solid fact and deduction. And as conditions are in some places, I don't think that any place where things are not born, now that they come yet again. The battle was a comely among the most powerful life. As he says, "Some people think that everything I was living for was nothing astonishing, but that, having to and the man farthest down, he was an influence of hope for him." © 1912 by American Press Association WOODROW WILSON President-Elect 1812 by American Press Association WOODROW WILSON President-Elect TAFT ISSUES STATEMENT President Calls on Republican Party to Reform its Ranks—Glad Government Did Not Fall Into Hands of Third Party. Special to THE NEW YORK AOR. CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 5.—President Taft has given out the following statement upon the result of the election: "The returns insure the election of Governor Wilson to the Presidency. This means an early change in the economic policy of the Government in reference to the tariff. If this change can be made without halting prosperity I sincerely hope it may be. "The vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the third party candidate, and for Mr. Debs, the Socialist candidate, is warning that their propaganda in favor of fundamental changes in our constitutional representative government has formidable support. While the experiment of a change in the tariff is being carried out by the Democratic administration, it behooves Republicans to gather again to the party standard and pledge anew their faith in their party's principles and to organize again to defend the constitutional government handed down to us by our fathers. "We must make clear to the young men of the country who have been weaned away from sound principles of Government by promises of reforms, impossible of accomplishment by more legislation, that patriotism and common sense require them to return to a support of our Constitution. Without compromising our principles we must convince and win back former Republicans and we must re-enforce our ranks with constitution loving Democrats. "We favor every step of progress toward more perfect equality of opportunity and the ridding society of injustice. But we know that all progress worth making is possible with our present form of government and that to sairrifice that which is of the highest value in our governmental structure for undeined and impossible reforms is the wildest folly. We must face the danger with a clear knowledge of what it is. The Republican party is equal to the task. It has had no nobler cause. Let as close ranks and march forward to do battle for the right and the true." President Taft sent this congratulatory message to Governor Wilson at 11:30 o'clock "Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 5. Hom. Woodrow Wilson, Princeton, N.J. I cordially congratulate you on your election and extend to you my best wishes for a successful administration. "W. H. Taft." THOMAS R. MARSHALL Vice President-Elect 'HUGE NEGRO' PROVES TO BE SMALL LAD OF 17 Investigation Shows Murdered Boy Weighed 120 Pounds The authorities are investigating the death of Flannigan Seary, a seventeen-year-old elevator operator, who was killed one evening last week by Detectives Thompson and Birmingham. The detectives will be compelled to explain why they found it necessary to kill a mere lad who did not weigh more than 120 pounds, although the newspapers reported that they had "a death struggle in the dark with a huge Negro." Miss Grace Campbell, secretary in charge of Work Among Delinquents of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, has made the following report in connection with the murder: On October 20 I read in the New York Times an article entitled "Death Struggle in Dark." After reading it, on my own account, I made some investigations of the case. Without going into details I wish to say that, in my opinion, it is only fair to the public that our newspaper reporters upon whom we, the public, depend for general information of happenings should endeavor to be accurate in what they report. We sit at the morgue I viewed the remains of the "huge Negro" spoken of in the article. It proved to be the body of a slender lad apparently weighing not more than 120 pounds, and I was informed that he was seventeen years of age. The other men referred to in the article proved to be white.*** Young Scary was found at 3.30 in the morning in the hallway of a tenement house in 135th street with two white men. Detectives Thompson and Birmingham claim they killed the youth because he showed light. They say the boy engaged them in a desperate encounter.

Wilkins, Kavenwood, read a paper, subject, "Sunday School and its workers." Mrs. L. M. Frey, Yonkers, rendered a solo. The president's annual report was interesting, as was the report of the executive board which was read by the corresponding secretary, Mrs. L. E. Miller. Tuesday night a paper was read by Mrs. S. A. James, Sharon, N. Y., and an address was delivered by the Rev. J. Ernest Robinson, B. D. Miss M. Shelton, New Rochelle, sang. At the final session Wednesday morning all committees reported and an open discussion was had on the subject, "How Do Our Personal Peculiarities Affect the Efficiency of Our Service for Christ?" The discussion was opened by the Rev. L. E. Keiser, Tarrytown. The Woman's Auxiliary began their session Wednesday afternoon, with Mrs. S. D. Richardson, president, in the chair. The president's annual address, report of field missionary and the annual sermon by the Rev. T. J. King, Yonkers, were the especial features of the session.

Timms, Brooklyn, presiding. The Rev. J. H. Willard and N. B. Johnson conducted the opening devotional services and delegates were enrolled. After the president delivered (Continued on Page 5.) MOTHER ZION BUYS PROPERTY Now Owner of Two Five-Story Dwellings in 138th Street—Neighborhood Restricted Another block in Harlem heretofore restricted to white tenants has been invaded by Negroes. The section in question is 138th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. Although the white property owners have banded themselves together and made an agreement not to sell or rent to Negroes, the Mother Zion Church has acquired the property at 101-3 West 138th street. The deal includes a lot 50 by 100, on which are two five-story dwellings accommodating twenty families. The financial consideration involved is said to be about $60,000. Nail & Parker were the brokers. The property was purchased by Mother Zion Church as an investment. Colored people are now living in all the blocks in the territory embracing from 131st street to 140th street, and between Lenox and Seventh avenues, except 137th street. So far the property owners of that block have succeeded in keeping out colored buyers and tenants. NEGRO SOLDIER PRAISED WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5.

Tine, committed to the Secretary of War, who leads COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TENDERED 'TOM' SWANN NON-PARTISAN GATHERING Collector Charles W. Andersnn and Con- Last Sunday evening a complimentary dinner was tendered Thomas Wallace Swann, of Chicago, chairman of the Publicity Committee of the National Colored Democratic League, at the Ford Williams Hotel, 132d street and Fifth avenue, by the New York Pilot, a local weekly, of which the Rev. J. H. Taylor is editor. The intention of the dinner was to show the esteem and confidence in which Mr. Swann is held as a journalist. A large number of business and professional men with whom he has come in contact during his career attended. Prominent men and women of both races were present, many of them well known to the national and civil life of the nation, and nonpartisan in politics. The gathering presented, as expressed by one of the white speakers, a new phase of the race question. Among the national characters present were Collector Charles W. Anderson, Congressman Henry George, Jr., and others. Business and professional men paid tribute to Mr. Swann for his attainments as a journalist and for his unselfish devotion to the cause of the race. It was a merited tribute and dignified throughout. At the conclusion of the dinner Editor Taylor, in a brief address, expressed his pleasure at the cordial response to his invitation to honor the guest of the evening. Lawyer J. L. Curtis acted as toastmaster. Other speakers were James H. W. Howard, Washington; William E. Gross, Charles Barnes, Harrisburg, Pa.; Mrs. Pauline Baxter, Newark; Hon. Thomas Church, Collector C. W. Anderson, J. Frank, Wheaton, Chief Edward E. Lee, Hon. F. C. Leubuscher, Congressman Henry George, Jr. Congressman George said, among other things, that as correspondent for a number of Washington papers many years ago he came in contact with the colored people, but was never impressed as now with the advancement of the colored people. He said he believed in absolute brotherhood. Mr. Swann, in responding, told of his efforts to serve the best interests of the race and expressed appreciation for the tribute showed him. Letters of regret were read from Bishop Alexander Walters, Judge Hudspeth, H. W. Howard. Those present were Hon. C. W Anderson, Hon. William Powell, A. Bonito Cosey, Thomas Church, J Frank Wheaton, James L. Curtis, J. W. H. Howard, Summer Lark, Wim L. Young, Edward E. Lee, Wim L. Freeman, Lester A. Walton, Cleveland G. Allen, Robert L.

THE AGE IN PANAMA WOMAN'S LOYAL UNION Annual Session Held at New Bedford Miss Elizabeth Carter Re-elected President-New Departments Established. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 5.—The Woman's Loyal Union held its annual meeting for 1912 on the third Tuesday in October, at the New Bedford Home for the Aged. Delegates who attended the Northeastern and National Conventions were greeted by a large audience. Business of the regular order was transacted, after which the election of officers was gone into. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, who has served as president for a number of years, was re-elected. Other officers: Mrs. Mice Scott, first vice-president; Mrs. Mary Anna Riley, second vice-president; Mrs. Mabel Cook, recording secretary; Miss Sstelle M.

At this meeting Miss Flossie May Freedom will give an illustrated lecture on "The Musician." An echo meeting under the auspices of the Women's Loyal Union was held at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Sunday, October 27, when the delegates from the National and Northeastern conventions gave interesting reports. A large audience was present and heard Miss Louse Scott and Miss Mary Davis from the Northeastern Convention, and Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, ex-president of the National Convention, who was a delegate to that body. These reports were interesting and inspiring and added to the enthusiasm of the women. A goodly collection was raised and given to the church. The next meeting will be a suffrage meeting, and the subject to be considered is "Shall the women vote?" The work of the club as planned for the next year will be to the benefit of the city-of New Bedford and the women are determined to carry it out. The Juvenile Department of the Women's Loyal Union gave an autumn entertainment on Friday evening, October 25. The Olive orchestra furnished music for the evening, and a large crowd of young people enjoyed themselves. The Wide Awake Girls are making a success of their work. UNIQUE MEETING AT MONTGOMERY Men of both Races Discuss Plans Whereby Negroes and Whites May Co-operate Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Montgomery, Ala. Nov. 5. A most unique meeting was held recently at the headquarters of the Montgomery Negro Business League. The secretary and a delegation of representatives of the white Business Men's League of Montgomery met to discuss with the Negro Business League of Montgomery plans whereby the white people and colored people of the city may best cooperate to the mutual advantage of each. The addresses made by Bruce Kenney, secretary of the white Business League, and those accompanying him, were of a particularly cordial character. All of them emphasized the necessity of both races working together if the best results for the city are to be secured. The first matter upon which they decided to cooperate was to make the Alabama Agricultural and Industrial Exposition, held at Montgomery, from October 10 to 20, a record breaker. The success of the fair was an evidence of the agreement for mutual benefit entered into 16 both races. It has been recommended that various white business men of the city of Montgomery meet the colored people in their different church on Sundays and express the same ideas which have been put to the men of the Negro Businessmen. Such a movement as this promises large results, as with both races working together they can easily overcome many of the fraternities which have to keep them so widely apart. EX SLAVES RE·WED Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENT MUST GO OUT OF BUSINESS District Attorney Puts Ban on Colored Legal Aid Association WILL REFUND MONEY All Clients Who Have Paid $1 a Year to Become Members Will Get Money Back Only Officers of Association Choose Were Three Brooklyn Negroes as Trustees - Will Comply with Orders. District Attorney Whitman has ordered the Colored Legal Aid Association, with offices at (0) Broadway, to stop doing business and to refund to all clients the money that has been received. The investigation into the business dealings of the association were made under the direction of Assistant District Attorney James B. Reynolds, who, after reading the reports submitted, by Miss Grace P. Campbell and Charles C. Allison, Jr., notified the members of the concern that they were violating the law by doing legal business as an association. For several weeks the Colored Legal Aid Association has been seeking colored clients. The moving spirits of the enterprise were Chambers Brothers and Hanford, attorneys-at-law, who gave out that the association had been organized in the interest of Negroes; that the membership was $1 a year, which amount covered the entire cost of defense of any of its members. The sum, however, only protected members of the association from criminal actions and not civil cases. The first to look into the standing of the association was E. K. Jones of the National Negro League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, who made an adverse report, which advised that the colored citizens give no support to an undertaking which was organized to protect Negroes in criminal cases only. The investigators found that while no president, secretary of treasurer had been elected three trustees had been chosen, namely, W. D. Moore, E. B. Barnes and P. Cumberbatch, colored residents of Brooklyn. The members of the association have decided to comply with the orders of the District Attorney.

SPECIAL SPECIALIST DOCTOR 104 Greenwich Hospital Rector. In Drug Store. COL. ROOSEVELT FROM SOUTHERN NEGRO'S VIEWPOINT. In another column of THE AGE we publish an article on "Col. Roosevelt from a Southern Negro's Viewpoint," signed by Dr. N. B. Houser, of Helena, Ark., and addressed to the Editor of THE AGE. We do not publish the letter because Dr. Houser has any just cause of complaint against THE AGE, but to show that Dr. Houser does not know what he wants or how to get it. We judge he has a better line on pills to ease physical ailments than on quills to dispel mental darkness and consequent error. Doctors use pills and editors quills in their business. We take Dr. Houser by paragraphs. (1) Our "bitter editorial against Col. Roosevelt" have been due to the fact that we don't believe in Col. Roosevelt and his methods, nor in the Progressive party and its policies. We regard the four of them as being dangerous to the life, liberty and property of the nation. (2) We have at no time used abusive language in dealing with Col. Roosevelt and his methods. All the names we have applied to him are such as he had first applied to himself, except "Moosevelt," which is a delicate refinement in co-ordination of Moose and Roosevelt. Far from ever having claimed to speak for the race, we have spoken always for ourselves and for so many members of the race as think vaguely as they want us to think clearly and wisely and read THE. Act on that account. We are responsible for our attitude towards Col. Roosevelt. --- (3) The Negroes of the South may not be "sore over the Bull Moose convention," and as they had no part in making the candidates and platform of that convention, because Col. Roosevelt barred them out, so will they have no part in voting for them because the Democrats "disfranchised them; before the Bull Moose convention did the same thing for them—all after the Republicans had given them the ballot and never denied them an equal standing in the party. What have the Negroes of Arkansas and the South done with the ballot the Republican party gave them and the party standing it never denied them? Who sold them out to the highest bidder in every national convention from 1868 to 1908? Did they do it? That's the record. The Republican party didn't do it. The things Dr. Houser says the Negroes of the South are concerning themselves about, "the every-day rights of American citizens," can only be secured by State legislation and administration, as they are powers reserved to the States and not delegated to the Federal Government, through party action. Who killed the Republican party and disfranchised the Negroes of Arkansas? The Republican party did not, and Col. Roosevelt did nothing when President for seven years to remedy the matter. He rather helped to confuse it, and now offers no remedy for it, except such as the angel of theJO unjustified w/o unjustified party water in the wilderness." "Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands." Read the Roosevelt letter to Julian Harris, Dr. Houser. (4) Dr. Houser may be "a follower" the editors of *Trio No.* are gentlemen We do not indulge in false criticism and despise and demean others All of our editorial work has plenty of red blood in it Blood that is cold is good only for pudding or fertilizer If the Negroes of the South had more hot blood in them and less pudding and fertilizer, especially among their slippery politicians, from 1888 to 1988 forsely, every one possibly putting his own construction upon them, as we are a wise generation, with very stiff necks and concit enough to cover an avalanche of wisdom. This is true of the entire nation as of the Negro race. The public schools have given us a people wiser than their teachers and who even think better of themselves than of the wise men who laid the foundation stones of the Republic. The old men have dreamed dreams and the young men have prophesied of blessings to flow from the Government which can flow only from the people themselves, and not from them if they are not stored up in them. Government stands in relation to the people as a barn to the farmer and a factory to the manufacturer; they can get out of it only what they put in it. While the Constitution remains unchanged the things they seem to want the Government to do for them, as set forth in the platforms of the Democratic, Progressive and Socialist parties, can only be got by State action in "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States," but "are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." In the broader sense, the campaign teaches as the primary lesson that the people in all the parties have reached the dangerous point in their history where they want the Government to do for them what they should do for themselves. The proper name for it is State Socialism. It is a sure sign of national decay in a nation as it is in an individual when they want the State or others to do for them what they can and should do for themselves. Hamiltop, Madison and Jay, as well as Washington, Franklin and Jefferson, foresaw the condition that now confronts us, and the Federal Constitution of checks and balances was finally adopted to meet it. As finally amended, with slavery and involuntary servitude abolished, except for crime, the Federal Constitution provides as adequate and safe system of government as human intelligence and needs has ever devised. Under that system the Government has grown to be one of the strongest and most prosperous on earth. The changes first demanded in the Democratic convention, at Chicago, in 1896 and grown into a clamor in 1912, are really the formulated sentiments of our foreign-born citizens and the changed conditions in finance and labor brought about by the abolition of slavery. The Negro was so completely eliminated from the campaign as an issue, on the surface, as to delude even him, so that he went about with the badge on him and preaching the praises of the party and the men who have robbed him of his political, social and industrial rights in the late slave states and who have promised to make the robbery national whenever they secure control of the power to do so; others were equally as brazen in supporting the Progressive party which repudiated them in Chicago and turned them over to Cecil Lyon in Texas, John M. Parker in Louisiana, Julian Harris in Georgia, and the like, who deny them any standing in the party in the Southern States. And through all the long months of the campaign there ran such a huge stream of bitterness that the assassin's bullet in Milwaukee and the angel of death in Utica were not strong enough to stop it. Through it all The Age stood by the Republican party and its policies as being the best for the nation and therefore for the Negro; it is proud of its record, and not ashamed. So, then, as President Lincoln said at Gettysburg, so we say "with charity for all, with malice toward none;" let us persist in going forward in the good work of race, political, social, industrial and moral uplift. for yourself why I am taking such in as a matter of fact, the white South forest." So! Mr. Brisbane shows a has a scandal "in every days report," in proper disposition. As Trio, has high of low places, in which its "chivalry pointed out repeatedly, it is the urgent" "ward women" is shown to be no whit duty of every member of the race to different from that of the same sort in give aid and encouragement to those of Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and their number engaged in business enter the life, where no claim is made that (5) The election is now over and we shall have less to say about political fire brands like Col. Roosevelt and Gov Wilson and their "crazy-squilt" policies and high-handed methods. (6) The Negro of the North does not love the Republican party, but it is the best party to day for the nation and the Negro, and on that account he prefers it. It also freed the Southern Negro and did not help the Democrat party and the Negro to re-enslave him in his political and civil rights, and he refuses to help Col. Roosevelt and the Progressive party justify that re-enslavement. We are sorry Dr. Houser does not agree with us, and are surprised that he should desire us to think as he does. ARTHUR BRISBANE MAKES SUGGESTIONS THE AGE is always open to suggestions, from whatever source they may come. We receive and have received many, but they are and have been enlargements on suggestions we have made or have in mental stock to be used when we get to them and at the psychological moment. Mr. Arthur Brisbane suggests for instance, that we use THE AGE each week as "a medium or go-between" for suggestions on business conditions and methods "to help the business trade of the Negro business man." Very well we shall do so; we have been doing so every week for thirty years. The present business development of the race, of which the National Negro Business League is the center of inspiration, is due in large measure to the persistent suggestion and insistence of THE AGE. We want to direct Mr. Arthur Brisbane's attention to the interesting fact that he has a distinguished namesake living in New York. He is president of the New York Evening Journal Publishing Company, and we were much surprised to find his double in our correspondent, who tells us: "I am not in any kind of business myself." "it is not for myself that I am asking this," but I am myself a Negro you can see. prises, great and small, as a matter of race preservation from the fate of "hewers of wood and drawers of water," those who work for wages, without hope of leaving a better inheritance to their children. Wage earners who are able to leave anything as an inheritance to their children other than a good name have to slave early and late and deny themselves of most of the comforts and all on the luxuries in order to do it. The Negro race has made a good beginning in business; there should be constant growth and expansion of it, and there is plenty of evidence that such is the case. The growth and expansion are slow and often imperceptible, despite the impatience of many who believe that Jacks of the Beanstalk can grow between suns from little things in the shadow to great big things in the light. Time is a decisive factor in the growth and expansion of the character of a race and its abilities to do things. CHIVALRY IN THE SOUTH. Some people like to spend the golden hours in hunting for needles in hay ricks, which is just as profitable and no more interesting than trying to drive a stubborn camel through the eye of a needle. The white South, which has done and is doing so much to degrade black and yellow womanhood, seldom has its chivalry towards women called in question by a Northern newspaper with a voice loud enough to make itself heard. We were therefore surprised to come upon the following in the editorial columns of the Philadelphia Record, a Democratic newspaper of light and leading. As the South claims to be preeminently chivalric toward women, the fact that it is in the South that women are hugged as a part of the prison discipline or for private revenge is worth noticing. A few years ago the frightful brutality toward a woman convict in Georgia excalled universal disgust, and we have legged some reform in the treatment of convicts. Recently a well-to-do man in Hawton, Ga., with some friends, kidnapped a girl-strapped her clothes from her and whipped her shamefully, the reason apparently being that his son wished to marry her, and the young man has since procured a marriage license for that purpose. When the chivalric regard for woman very ostentatiously professed all over the South is anything more than a pretense it will be impossible to find a group of men who would strip the clothes from a woman and heat her till her life was in danger. --- should be given more attention for the womanhood but womanhood. What is the verdict, then, which the world has rendered? That American womanhood, not Southern womanhood standing by itself, but as one of four sectional units, is the strongest, most self-reliant and resourceful in the world. The same thing is true of American manhood. The result was not worked out as a national asset by the education in the home, the church, and the state of the Southern States, but in those of the Puritan Fathers of New England and the Middle States. We are all beneficiaries of the result, as a people, as a nation—no one element, no one section, more than another. It is up to the white men of the white South to do more than they have done or are doing to elevate the womanhood of the Southern States. They can't do this by glorifying their white women and debasing their black and yellow women in their legislation, in their public and private conduct and in their editorial preachment. We say they can't do it. They will elevate all sorts together or they will drag down all sorts together. That is the law of evenness. DEATH OF VICE-PRESIDENT SHERMAN. The country sustained a distinct loss in the death of Vice-President James Schoolcraft Sherman at his home in Utica, New York, Wednesday night of last week, and the Republican party was placed in an unusual position on the eye of the election by the removal of the running mate of the President. Mr. Sherman was not a brilliant man, but he was a competent man, who knew how and did well the duties which fell to his share as an every-day citizen. When he was yet a young man he was chosen to be the chief magistrate of his home city, and thereafter was constantly in the public service until his death. He was born in 1855 and was still a young man when he died. His party associates in New York and in Congress trusted and respected him because of his cheerful manners and his capacity for hard work in any given situation. The life of Mr. Sherman should be an example to that large number of Nexros who think they know it all and are always ready to give advice nobody wants and to undertake work they are incapable of performing to keep in touch with themselves and such ability as they possess, all without "brag and bluff." RACE SUICIDE, ON THE INCREASE. We have shown heretofore that there is a tendency among Negroes to have more female than male members in a given group of families in a given decennial, and that the tendency is regarded in all countries by scientists as a sure indication of race decay, or race suicide. In European countries, notably in France and in Australia, the tendency has become so pronounced as to cause alarm, a stated beauty being offered in the latter country to those who raise large white families, black families of native Australians being discouraged and black families from other parts of the world being rigidly barred out. In this country the question is under constant observation and discussion by publishers engaged in many useful and helpful lines of human uplift. Col Theodore Roosevelt having been one of the most earnest and eloquent of them having raised a large family himself, and knowing it to be good, he advises others to do so. There is no complaint, we believe, that the Negro families in the South engaged in field and other outdoor work are growing smaller; on the contrary, there are generally enough small months in every family to stretch the supply of "hog and hominy" as thin as Dr. Washington's supply of molasses spread over his tin plate when he was "a little shaver." But what is true of the rural Negro in this matter is not and long since ceased to be true of the city Negro, whose economic conditions work directly against the large family principle. In discussing "The Wane of Motherhood" in the Atlantic Monthly, Ellen Key says the following, which Negro mothers affected with the club and other home-destroying fads can well take to heart: And now. Now we see a constantly decreasing birth rate on account of an increasing dismiliation for motherhood, and this not alone among the child worn drunks in home and industry, not alone among the lazy creatures of luxury. No, even women strong of body and worth of motherhood choose other celebavity at most one, often no child. And not a few women are to be found eager advocates of children's unhiring from infants outside of the home. Motherhood has, in other words for many women ceased to be the sweet secret dream of the mason, the glad hope of the wife, the deep regret of the ageing woman who has not had this yearning satisfied. Motherliness has diminished to such a degree that women use their intelligence in trying to prove that day museums, kindergartens and schools are not only necessary help in case of need, but that they are better than the devoted and confining motherliness of the home where the child is developed into family guests, not into a social need. The Neo needs a strong, constantly developing motherhood in order that he may have a strong, constantly developing manhood. The development of the home life is, therefore, of the first importance. There is no safer road to making which happens to the home will take the life of the office and department clerk the factory drudge and the restaurant and café waitress. A race of men who cannot support their race of women in the home will come upon race suicide, extinction finally, whatever their color may be. THE GAMBLERS AND DRINKERS. The gambling habit, like the drink habit, is bad, but both are legalized in one way or another, and the small gambler and the large gambler and the small drinker and the large drinker are a drag on themselves and the places in which they do business. Stock exchange and curbstone gamblers call themselves brokers. Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, the author of "Frenzied Finance," says in Everybody's Magazine that people are robbed of between two and three billion dollars every year by the "sure thing" game worked through the stock exchange; therefore, he would close up the stock exchange. A great many Negroes have the gambling and drinking habit, and the evil is growing upon them rapidly. They have not reached the stock exchange in large numbers as yet, but they are on the way there and will arrive in due season, thoroughly educated in the smaller sharp practices of the game. The moral health of the nation would be largely the gainer if all forms of gambling and liquor drinking were proscribed by public opinion and outlawed by State and nation. Eight damage suits for a total of $85,000 have been filed in the Circuit Court at Chicago, against thirty owners and managers of saloons and persons owning the property in which they are situated. The suits are brought by forty wives and children who declare that their incomes have become impaired through the shortcomings of their husbands and fathers, which in all cases are traced to the saloon. They are traced to the wrong place; they should have been traced to the city of Chicago and the State of Illinois, both of which tax and license the saloon and protect the saloon and its owner, and when occasion arises, put the "drunk" in the workhouse and leave his family to provide for itself or to be provided for by private or public charity. The city. State and nation all legalize and tax and protect the saloon and punish its victims with fine and imprisonment. It is not only immoral but murderous business which the law legalizes. Public opinion should demand a reformation of it for its own protection. EDITORIAL NOTES. After the election: Now, what are you, Elephant, Bull Moose or Donkey? So glad the campaign is over! So glad the Presidential election comes only once every four years. Accidents among automobilists and acupuncturists fill up much of newspaper space while the submarinists are resting from their labors. If Cuba, San Domingo and Haytí lose their independence to the United States because of warring among themselves will they blame themselves? Hardly. A Hint to the Threatens: If you don't pay us what you owe us how can we pay others what we owe them? Directions: Send money by registered letter, or postal or express order, but be sure and send it by return mail. A national campaign seven months long under the new primary law conditions but proved to be more fussy and abusive if not more expensive than under the old system. The three leading candidates spent among them, according to the official statements filed ten days before election, about $3,000,000. That much was spent in the Roosevelt campaign alone in 1908. The "loan sharks" of New York do a big business. District Attorney Whitman's investigators report that "the sharks do an annual business of $200,000 and have in their usurious clutches some 100,000 people, including some 30,000 municipal employees." The District Attorney can render the community no more valuable service than to deliver "the loan sharks" of New York out of business. The princes of the four Dalkan states at war with Turkey have disbanded great daring and courage from the boundaries of the bloody conflict and have shared the hard camp and field life of the common soldiers. This is the example that who in any human undertaking.

The kinds of work in these series in Washington many sorts of violence have been resorted to by them, but the red pepper brigade, a new weapon in the hands of labor, produced more acesses among "the soaks" than they had before. The workers who quit their jobs and seek to prevent others from taking them by violent and unlawful means are on the increase. It is not a hopeful sign of the times. The Negroes of Jacksonville, Fl., have to walk a chalk line, or the police "gather them in and the judges "roast them." We noticed recently that a Negro hackman was fined and paid $500 for "missing" a white woman passenger. A truckman was last week fined $100 and went to jail for cruelty to his horse. Such fines are clearly excessive, and seem to aim at persecution of black owners of teams rather than serve the ends of justice. Have the Negroes of Jacksonville no sufficient appeal from such persecution? We think they have, and they should organize there a legal society to work for it. The matter, with Mr. John Arthur appears to be "too much Johnsing, sah." A wealthy resident of a Philadelphia suburb, who is very jealous of his young and pretty wife, undertook to kill his wife, her maid and the family chauffer last week and landed in jail. He thinks his wife was too fresh with the negro chauffer. Jealous people like people with homicidal mania, think very rapidly, and see a great many things hid from the eyes of those who not to see "green." White men are not at all backward in freshness with colored women, but they get very ugly when colored men get fresh with white women. It is impossible to stamp out the freshness as long as the race colors are mixed up in all the walks of life. Likes and dislikes are very much alike in all people, and very weak, in all of them. But freshness between sexes of all colors is a thing to be discouraged. --- Philadelphia has a few things New York needs and a great many New York would not have. It has more than one hundred Negro policemen, while New York has but one. Why is that? Nobody will accuse the Philadelphia Negro of being better than the New York Negro, we believe. Nine policemen were dropped from the Philadelphia force one day last week for "intoxication and violating rules and regulations of the Bureau." None of them was marked "colored" by the newspaper reporting the news. If the New York policemen who patronize the "family entrance" to saloons were all "dropped" how many would be left "standing"? We want more Negro policemen in New York. "As for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" exclaimed Patrick Henry, a Virginia patriot in the War for Independence. His great-granddaughter, Miss Mary Fontaine Freeland, of Vicksburg, Miss., committed suicide in New York last week by inhaling gas. She was wealthy, owning among other possessions 10,000 acres of Mississippi bottom lands. It is impossible, scientists maintain, to account for the suicidal mania that persists in certain families. The jails, workhouses, and lunatic asylums are full of people possessed with a mania for doing the right thing the wrong way. It often crops out in a man of high and responsible position. Arthur M. Travers, former acting Third Assistant Postmaster General, has just been financed $1,500 for stealing rare stamps. Thievery is a very common sort of mania. --- We renew to the Socialist and Prohibition parties the warm end of our most distinguished consideration. They always walk up to the polls with the largest bunch of faith and walk away with the smallest bunch of charity. But the Prohibitionists do much good by keeping alive the hope of better conditions in the social life of the people. The Socialists think they are keeping alive the hope of better conditions in the industrial life of the people, but the community interest and cooperative effort in wealth and labor they stand for were tried when the world was young and discarded for a better system. Their theory that labor creates everything and should control everything loads straight to state ownership and tyranny. The individual has got to be reckoned with in the social and industrial competition as well as in military competition. The one man is often worth a hundred thousand or a million common soldiers or workingmen. RESULTS OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING OF THE NEGRO. (The Survey, New York City) Does industrial education of the Negro pay, in dollars and cents, in an enrichment of life, and in an increased "capacity for social service?" This question was at the bottom of a recent study made by Tuskegee Institute among its former students. In the collection of fact, Frank P. Chisholm, financial secretary and instructor in mathematics, had an eye to the benefit of the intellectual and to teach at large. The inquiry embraced the industrial careers of 746 individuals taken at random—417 graduates and 329 former students. Mr Chisholm writes thus of the conclusions to be drawn The following questions, based on the facts in hand, lead to some stalking and impressive deductions. The financial benefit is the industrial training of Tokugo to the individual trained. 2. How much money does the politget for the money which it has expended in the training of these persons. 3. Of what economic benefit has their training been to the South? The great majority of graduates and former students were adults when they entered the institution. They had as a rule an earning capacity of from $5 to $10 per month and of from $7 to 75 cents per day. After three years training, the was no longer from $5 to $10 per month with an increased demand for good services. Further, it is seen that a very large percentage of the men and women earn money by doing it than by being in school, and in both teaching and teaching others have accumulated profit systems. capacity to promote and develop income. The high income of the education workers is due to the fact that they directly to the agricultural districts in the South, where the majority of the Negroes live. Here, by combining agriculture with teaching, they not only increase their own income, but are direct and potent factors in the industrial advancement of the community. Since the founding of Tuskegee, an average of two years of training has been given to approximately 9,000 persons, whose average earnings have been $700 per year. The study shows, Mr. Chisholm, that the average length of time these 9,000 students have been out is fourteen years, during which time their estimated earnings have been $88,200,000. If these 9,000 individuals had not received an industrial training they would have earned during the fourteen years only $12,600,000. That is, by receiving an industrial training, they have been able to earn $75,600 more than they would have earned had they not received this training. It is declared that one rarely finds a Tuskegee man who does not have a bank account, own some property, and who is not buying a home. In many communities Tuskegee men are listed among the largest tax payers. The investigator found it difficult to obtain the necessary for determining the exact number of holdings of the 746 persons under him, but reports from 242 showed an average holding of $4,000 worth of property. Mr. Chisholm says: It is likely, of course, that the real average for all the persons who have benefited by the teachings of Tuskegee property holding, however, will be below $1,700. As property holdings go below South, this is not bad. In fact, it is considerably above the average among Nokroes. It is seen, therefore, that property holdings of the 3,000 persons who have attended Tuskegee aggregate $15,000,000. What Society Gets From It The relationship between what the public has expended on the training of students at Tuskegee Institute and what the public has received in-return for such expenditure is also considered. It is estimated that the total cost of the industrial training of 9,000 students has been approximately $1,462,000. Here is the reasoning to show whether society has benefited: Before this money was expended, the earning capacity of each of these students was about $100 per year. Reckoning their ability as capital and the interest upon they could command as interest upon the account, this would make the ability of each student on 6 per cent, basis, worth $1,666.65, and the ability of the 9,000 about $15,000,000. After these students had received their industrial training, they were able, on an average, to command as wages $700 per year. Reckoning this interest upon the value of their ability to command as each of them on a 6 per cent, basis, the numbers to be about $11,700,000, and the value of their total ability to be $105,300,000. That is by means of the $14,670,000 which the public expended in the training of these students, the value of their ability to the country, therefore, received the earn of 600 per cent, on the capital which has been invested in the training of these 9,000 students. --- The argument to show what benefit the South has received from the industrial training of these 9,000 individuals is as follows. If we reckon the working people as so much capital available for its development, then, on the basis of the estimate made above, these 9,000 students have both industrial training would have been worth about $15,000,000 to the South but be means of industrial training their value has been increased. $90,300,000. This statement becomes more significant when it is remembered that Tuskegee is located in the heart of the South's Black Zelt; that the great majority of persons trained at this institution work in the South; that they are raised in a life by improving the Negro farmer; that as leaders, they are lifting the struggling black masses to higher planes of usefulness and Christian citizenship that by their examples of sobriety obedience to law, and improved family life, they have become agents of improved economic conditions. The great difficulty of the South is to get trained, reliable workers to develop its vast resources. Experiments in imported labor have been tried, and they have failed. The labor of the Negro is available. Untrained, this labor is roused and has out small earning power. Trained from the study, its value is many times enhanced and the wealth of the country correspondingly increased. Stirring as this story is, is of the increase in efficiency among a group of ambitious colored youths, there are students of the Southern situation who point out the industrial schools of the North, to a small part of the Negro population. In 1806 the bama, Tuskegee's own state, only 29.18 per cent. of the Negro school population was in regular attendance at public schools while the average length of the year's term was 88 days. In 1910 the term for the Negro schools was limited to 60 days. It must be remembered that in 1910 a number of the colored children within the state can secure sufficient education to knock at Tuskegee's door. "The illusion of the near" of the wonderful philanthropy which the North supports, must not blind the nation to the fact that great majority of the colored children of the North have a satisfaction worthy of the name, and that without good primary schools they can not but remain crude, unskilled, poorly paid laborers. Why Discriminate Ourselves? To the Editor of The Age: It seems to be a frequent habit of Negroes to discriminate among themselves in a way, when they so bitterly disapprove of it from the other races. We often see signs or advertisements "colored barber shops" "colored restaurant" "colored vaudeville show" "colored apartments," and so on. Why do we do this? Should the same skin be applied to the Caucasians such as white barber shop" and "white restaurant" we would quickly take it for an ingest and at other take steps to investigate. I was passing through a street thickly settled by Negroes a few days ago, and my attention was called by a tap on the shoulder. I looked around and was addressed by a white man, who spoke in a foreign tongue. He asked me if he would be permitted to go in a restaurant that was described as a first class colored restaurant," and I replied that I saw no reason why he should be so far off. I was a public place business. It was the took more than passing notice of the great mistake we are making in bringing our places of business, often "colored." JAMES ANDREW PARKER New York City.

WOMAN'S PART IN CAMPAIGN *When when and that time* *Without permission Freedom born* *When did many ever find salvation* *Till some had known the splitting and* *burden.* No cause was ever won but first was mocked: No Faith taught hearts to dare but first was hated. For weeks past men, women and children have been talking politics, even the dog seemed to wag knowingly when one said Roosevelt, Wilson or Taft. In no campaign previous to the one just closed have women figured so conspicuously. Since the outset of the light they have been in the thick of the fight, paying money, making speeches and sending out literature, and each of the three big candidates for the Presidency deemed himself lucky to have the interest and support of women of hearts and energy. With Col. Roosevelt at Armaggeddon was Miss Jane Addams of full house, Chicago, who seconded his nomination for President at the Convention of the Progressives. To Miss Addams every colored woman of the country owes a debt of gratitude, for when the white politician tried to sidestep the Negro question she provoked an all night tight over it among the platform framers, and youth insisted upon a plank explaining the Progressive attitude toward the Negro, promising him political equality and a fraternal welcome to the ranks of the new party. Although unsuccessful, we had "a friend at court," therefore I say, "All hail to Miss Addams" for it takes bravery of a high order to espouse an unpopular cause, and Miss Addams has endeared herself to suffragist and non-suffragist alike among several million women of color in the U.S.A. President Taft had Miss Helen WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 5—A political mass meeting was held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel this afternoon at three o'clock. The purpose was to have the issues of the three leading parties explained to students of the University, by men prominent in the campaigns of the Democrat, Republican and Progressive parties. The meeting was the initiative of a member of the Junior College class. M. Harris served as chairman, and speakers included Charles A. Shaw, Jr., and Louis A. Howard, of the Junior Class. Speakers were Hon. Jas A. Fowler, Assistant United States Attorney General, who defended the Republican principles and candidates; Dr. Waldron, chairman of the Negro Progressive Democrat League, who spoke upon the necessity of dividing the colored vote. Frank Hogan, Progressive manager and committeeman from the District of Columbia presented the issues of the Progressive party. Mrs Ellen Spencer Mussey, president of the Woman's College of Law and an ardent suffragette and temperance leader, spoke on Women Suffrage. Speeches were made by President Newman and Dean Kelly Miller, of the College of Arts and Sciences. Many citizens present, presen- ting a memorial, Mrs Emma E. B. Johnson took place from St. Lukes's Protestant Episcopal Church, Monday afternoon, November 4. William A. Beloiver, Philadelphia, was a weekend visitor last Saturday. In invitations are on announcing the marriage of Miss Luria Jones Wilson to Alfred Kiger Salvo, which will occur on November 13 at 7 p.m. The Amphiphon Glee Club, the oldest organization of the kind in the United States, celebrated its twenty-first anniversary by appearing before the Bethel Library and Historical Association on Tuesday evening, October 29, in the auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. This organization is one of the leading musical organizations among our face and its membership is confined to male leaders. J. Henry the teacher, the manager and director, and he holds that position now. In their anniversary appearance they were assisted by that other splendid musical organization, the Azalea Mandoin and Guitar Club. AUSTIN, TEX. Ariston, Tex., Oct. 31—Dr. J. F. S. White, pastor of the Metropolitan Church, closed his third year here Sunday night with a farewell sermon and a general report that has been favorably commented upon. It showed that over a hundred members had been added, that his collections had run from $2,200 to $3,300, that the Sunday-school had been revived and raised over $250, that he had purchased a beautiful site for the new A. M. E. edifice, that the debt of $200 had been reduced to $300, that a system of book-keeping had been inaugurated, that the church had been given a manual standing with the banks inward of a few individuals, that he would carry $240 in money to conference at Boston, and that his three clubs fund in fellow-order in raising funds. The Church houses the Dormitory, Brother Fanning, and the master and youngest, the Bull Moorsers, Brother Lindsay, Dr. T. A. Webster offered receptions on behalf of the Sunday school, the Rev. Mr. Donaldson, Dr. W. Hillford and Hon. W. M. Tears extended compliments. Dr. White responded in a happy mood. In the last concert Monday night Mine M. H. Demby of Boston, thrilled the audience by her sweet singing. She was on board on every rendition. All the beautiful acquitted themselves admirably, the imperial mention might be made of the feminine Quartet of Ebenezer Barton, the sextet of blind mates, the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Assess the great harpione solist, Oscar B. H. and the treble, clef of Sam Barton, led by Prof. Lew, Mrs. Dana Barton Brown was directress and music. The choir at First Baptist Church the past week was a success and Sun- day was a rally day. Miss Ethel Watson is an orphan, will be mar- Varick Boswell in control of his forces in New York, and Mr. Wilson had as one of his most enthusiastic workers the wealthy M. J. Border, Barriman. The names of the women associated with these leaders would be legion. From all accounts they have done splendid work, and the cause of woman suffrage will proft thereby. At the Progressive State Convention at Syracuse there were over one hundred women among them being such women as Miss Maud Ingersoll, Mary M. E. Drier, Mias Elizabeth Suffrin. The only woman of color in the party I believe was Mrs. Lydia Smith, of Brooklyn. A few years back men regretted woman suffrage as a huge joke, and no political party thought of associating women in its work. Such a course would have made it ridiculous in the eyes of the public. But things have changed wonderfully, for women have agitated and organized, and in so doing they have found strength, and the politicians have about decided that the ballot for women may not be such a joke after all. It has already been acquired by them in six states. Colored women have taken a comparatively insignificant part in campaign activities, but this is no indication they are not thinking along political lines. I am not arguing that disagreements among women as to women voting and the merits of the respective parties. The one criticism about such discussions is that too often they become noisy disputes and one fails to learn anything. Strong ground was taken in favor of woman suffrage by the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Booker F. Washington is president, at its meeting at Hampton in July. This is a sign of progress among colored women. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Miss Ida R. Cumings, Miss Elizabeth L. Davis, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, of Brooklyn; Dr. V. Morton Jones, Mrs. Addie W. Hunton; with other well known women of color too numerous to mention, are all advocates of "Votes For Women." ried by the Rev. Mr. Pino Wednesday night. He has returned from Houston, where he assisted in the obsequies of Mrs. Lights, wife of Rev. F. L. Lights. One of our white papers, the Stateman, made a very favorable comment against mob violence because a Negro that had been identified by a white woman in a nearby city and was spirited away to prevent mob violence has proven an alibi. She has acknowledged that she was mistaken in her identity, showing how many an innocent man loses his life while the guilty goes unmolested for future operations. The street car management has allowed reduced rates to the white school children, but not to the Negro school children. The white sub mail carriers are given preference over the Negroes, but they cannot make it and the Negro has to be relied on for best service. RALEIGH N. C. RALLEIGH, N.

WALTON.) TUESDAY afternoon I was a passenger on an eastbound L train. If any of my fellow passengers gave me more than a passing glance they observed that my face wore quite a pensive expression; and my countenance did not believe my feelings. I felt downcast and I was as near to shedding tears without committing such an act as I ever have been in my life. It was not that I had been denied my right to vote at the polls or that I had received advance information that my favorite candidate for President of the United States had been defeated. I was returning from a visit to the Lafayette Theatre, a new house at 132nd street and Seventh avenue, where I had been given an object lesson on how progressive is the white man in business—also how lamentably backward is the Negro in business. In reciting how white men, within the past three years, have secured their start in the theatrical world by doing business with colored people, I will first state that I do so without any ill feeling toward the white men in question. We are on very friendly terms, and I guess if I was one of them I would look at things from their viewpoint and act accordingly. It is my express aim to show the colored people what a great mistake they are making by being so woefully indifferent to the rapid strides that are being made in the business world, rather than condemn wide-awake white business men for taking advantage of their opportunity. The Lafayette Theatre is owned and managed by Martinson and Nibur, who, until two weeks ago, were proprietors of the Crescent Theatre in 135th street. Martinson and Nibur have been liquor dealers in Harlem for many years and have made most of their money off colored people. When I. Fleugelman decided to quit the colored show business and branch out on a large scale by building white theatres, he found ready purchasers in Martinson and Nibur, who bought the Crescent and assumed management. This was about a year ago last summer. Martinson and Nibur had not been owners of the Crescent Theatre three months, before they had sufficient business acumen to see that there was money in the show business, and they decided to erect another theatre in Harlem. It was some time last fall when they announced that they were going to build at 132nd street and Seventh avenue. White men are not like the majority of colored people. They do not combine business and sentiment. Unfortunately we do. As dramatic editor of THE AGE my advice has been constantly sought on matters relative to conducting the Crescent ever since the house has been opened. I have always been pleased to give information willingly and gratuitously, having the interest of the colored profession at heart. Some months ago I was asked by Manager Benjamin Nibur if I thought the new theatre should be conducted as a white or a colored theatre. My reply was that while I fully understood that there was some prejudice among the whites relative to sitting on the first floor with colored people, yet the Lafayette Theatre would be located on the southern boundary of a colored settlement—132nd street—although Seventh avenue was a thoroughfare used by many whites. My advice was to let the question take care of itself after the house had been opened. No previous statement was given to the colored papers regarding the opening of the Lafayette, but I learned that Monday, November 4, had been the date set. While I received no invitation to attend the opening, as had been accorded me when the doors of the Crescent were first thrown open, yet I would have attended the initial opening uninvited had not it been for a previous engagement. However, I made a visit to the new house Tuesday afternoon, and was warmly received by my old friend Nibur as well as several attaches formerly connected with the Crescent. Manager Nibur explained to me that he had been so busy he had not been able to inform even his best friends of the opening date, and pronounced the opening a big success. He showed me about the theatre, which is a well-appointed house with two floors, seating about 1,800 persons. "What is going to be your policy, Nibur, relative to colored patrons?" I eagerly asked. "Well, we have decided to make it a white theatre, but will allow highly respectable colored people to sit on the first floor, but the riff-raff will have to sit upstairs. Last night's attendance, which was composed mostly of whites, settled that question. You know, Lester, we are in business to make money. There's no sentiment in this," he replied. I did not ask if the colored people were going to be confined to certain parts of the first floor, but made this query: "I notice that you are using all white acts. Why didn't you open with at least one colored act?" AND ITS MANAGERS "We tried to get a colored act, but we could not get one." was the answer. Knowing me as he does, I consider that Manager Nibur insulted my intelligence when he gave me such information—that he found it impossible to get a colored act. Yet he has been using hardly anything but colored acts for over a year. I did not talk further on the subject, as we were being continually interrupted by visitors and employees. However, I shall engage him in conversation on the subject later. It was necessary that I return to THE Acr office, so I bade everybody goodbye and promised to call again soon. But as I was leaving I turned around and gazed at a theatre that gave evidence of why the white citizens own the subways, bridges and business houses; and on the other hand showed me vividly why we own none. Here was a theatre erected by white men, who, less than two years ago did not know what the stage term "entrance" meant from "exit," who asked colored performers questions that occasioned mirth, the performers often telling with amusement how little they knew about the show business. Two years ago Martinson and Nibur may not have been in the class of David Belasco and A. Erlanger, but they showed that they were capable of learning, for they conducted the Crescent Theatre successfully and are now owners of a large, beautiful playhouse. And yet you will hear old colored performers contend that one must be in the show business all his life in order to make good as a theatre manager, etc. The Crescent Theatre has not only been the stepping stone for Martinson and Nibur, but also I. Flugelman, the first manager, who is now at the head of a chain of big white theatres and a prominent member of a vaudeville circuit that is giving white performers nearly six months' booking. He is becoming a factor in the vaudeville world, and his start was at the Crescent. I predict that the new managers of the Crescent will also branch out later, after they get their experience at the colored house in Harlem. As all the managers of the Crescent Theatre have been friends of mine, I am glad to see the advancement they have made. But when I look at their advancement I am forced to ask the question: "What progress have the colored people made in the meantime?" There is but one answer. They have made none! You cannot blame the white man from taking advantage of excellent business opportunities that colored men throw away. About the time that Martinson and Nibur made public that they contemplated erecting a theatre at 132nd street and Seventh avenue the Johnson Amusement Company was organized to build a theatre in 138th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues. The work of excavation on both theatres began about the same time, yet the Lafayette is opened, but only the foundation of the proposed theatre to be managed by Negroes, has been put up. Work on the 138th street theatre has not progressed rapidly because the colored citizens have been slow in seeing that the enterprise offers a splendid business opportunity. It seems to me a characteristic of the Negroes to be willing to spend his money rather than invest it so that he can realize a neat dividend. Although the Johnson Amusement Company has had many obstacles to overcome, President Thomas Johnson has assured all stockholders that their money is safe and that they need have no fear of losing a cent. One of the pieces of information in Booker T. Washington's latest book—"The Man Farthest Down"—that impressed me greatly was to learn that thousands of immigrants come to the United States yearly from foreign shores because of their great desire to own land and property. These people are unable to engage in business for themselves, but are compelled to work for others. With the Negro in this country conditions are far more favorable. He can acquire land and also go into business. However, he does not take advantage of these opportunities as he should. Race prejudice is strong in this country, but the white man, in many instances, looks upon such a condition from a commercial standpoint and benefits financially thereby. On account of the existence of race prejudice many a white man has secured his start in business. While the colored man—in a general sense—deplores his lot but never thinks of becoming master of the situation and profit in dollars and cents. Yet I am optimistic enough to believe that he will some day wake up. ON THE DUDLEY CIRCUIT. S. H. Dudley Theatre, Washington D. C. Lew W.

ACTTRESSES MUST NOT MARRY: "So seriously has romance interfered with business on the stage that George Edwardes, the English manager, has been compelled to decide upon the introduction of an anti-marriage clause into all future contracts with actresses," says the New York Times. "The new clause applies to the Gaiety, Daly's and the Adelphi Theatres. "This action has been forced on Mr. Edwards,' said one of his managers. 'So many of the young ladies have left the stage and company when a play was in full run that it has become very awkward, and this new clause has accordingly drawn up. The provision is that no lady who signs the contract will be released from her engagement during rehearsals, or during the run of the play, because she may wish to get married. The time and money which have to be spent in training these actresses is very considerable, and it is most annoying to find that some may leave the company suddenly after the play has been got well going. The "Quaker Girl" had a record of marriage. When that piece was going beautifully otherwise we had nearly a score of ladies who intimated that they were going to get married, and they left the piece. Of course such a beside desertion is a serious matter, any management, for takes some time to all their places. are not new contracts. Mr. carried on an said he had in nearly twenty engagements going to South alternative was of £500 if the lie spite of that the company mar- ried wealthy men, who paid their penalty in cash, one of them becoming the wife of a Johannesburg mine owner. "When Mr. Bandmann was taking comic opera companies to South America and other parts of the world a similar clause was inserted in the contracts. In this case the penalty was £200, and this was often paid. It was usual for only about half the chorus to return from such a tour, the others having found husbands on the other side of the Atlantic. 'There is some winsomeness about the English theatrical girl which is not in the possession of others,' was the explanation of an agent. 'American managers may have similar contract clauses, but one does not hear of the girls marrying or being asked to marry so quickly as in the case of English actresses. Already about fifty of these ladies have in past years attained the distinction of entering the peerage.'" CLEF CONCERT TO-NIGHT. Thursday (this) evening, the Clef Club will give its sixth musical melange and dancefest at Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Sixth avenue, on which occasion an effort will be made by Conductor James Reese Europe and his fellow musicians to eclipse all previous efforts as entertainers. In connection with the concert by the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra, the members will render several vocal selections. The program prepared by the Cleftites shows that they are more ambitious in their numbers than ever before. A record-breaking attendance is anticipated. There will be dancing after the concert.

Mr. Fiddler and I have been friends since childhood and as the years roll by our friendship grows stronger and stronger. We started out to sink or swim together and I wish it known that at this time we are swimming along nicely. Hard work and study to please each other is our motto.

HARRIS THE WEEKLY NEWS ODESSA WARREN GREY As "Emilia" A. THEODOSIA FORTUNE As " Desdemone " NEWARK BOYS' UNION Organization Has Ninety Members and Youths Are Taught to Lead Clean, Healthy Lives. Special TO THE NEW YORK AGE Newark, N. J. Nov. 5 "What shall it protect a race should it gain the whole world and lose its own boys?" This is the question asked the people of Newark by ninety boys who compose the membership of the Newark Colored Boys' Union, an organization which has rooms in the basement of the Thirteenth Avenue Presbyterian Church, corner Thirteenth avenue and Boston street, and which is fostered by the Y. M. C. A. Boys' Division of the United Boys' Clubs of Newark. R. Paris Edwards is the secretary in charge of the work. "If you want a square deal, give one!" is the motto of the club, and represents the boys' interpretation of the Golden Rule. The colored boys of Newark have never before had the opportunity of being benefited by this class of work, and union is fostered by the Y.M.C.A. Boys' Division as its youngest child. A variety of class work is carried toward, using the regulation Y.M.C.A. methods in instruction. Clean living and clean speech are ideals striven for, and the club idea develops the social feature. The rooms are opened every day from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock, and on Monday and Wednesday nights from 7 to 10 o'clock. The boys are required to take out membership cards and are not allowed the privileges of the club rooms except on presentation of their cards. The rooms are fitted up with two shuffleboards, checker, boards, quats, a combination board on which hitty games can be played, and a "one-roque" table, which is similar to a billiard table. A long table is covered with periodicals and newspapers and is one of the most used attractions of the rooms. The register contains ninety names of boys who desire to be a credit to their race, and these ninety boys are graded according to their age. The junior grade consists of boys from 9 to 11 years, the intermediate from 12 to 14 years, and the seniors from 15 years up. They have Bible classes, race history classes, "know your city" classes and school help classes. One of the most interesting features of the umon is the glee club which practices on Monday nights. The boys are given training in music and elocution, and have already attained great proficiency. Dr. E. F. Eggleston, pastor, and the congregation of the Thirteenth Avenue Christian Church, are giving this year's hearty and cordial support. The rooms are furnished by the church, and every facility is offered to carry out the idea of the Boys' Union. It is SPRINGFIELD. MASS.
