Whitfield Held Under $3,000 Bond for Mis- appropriating Funds Creditors Claim He Left City with an Indebtedness of from Between $19,000 to $20,000 SPENT MONEY FREELY Whitfield Was Known as One of the High Rollers of New York His Career for Past Three Years Interesting. Louis C. Whitfield, the well known real estate broker, who was mysteriously missing for several days, returned to the city Tuesday, gave himself up to the authorities, and was arranged in the Harlem Municipal Court Wednesday on the charge of misappropriating funds. He was held on a $3,000 bond for further examination Thursday. It is reported that owners of property in Harlem who had Whitfield as agent have been hard hit, and that the broker owes them from $19,000 to $22,000. Martinson and Nilur. proprietors of the Beatrice; Frank and Myers, hardware merchants at 468 Lenox avenue, and George Wallace, a plumber who is also connected with the Whitfield Real Estate Company, are among those who are said to be heavy losers. Those who were at first inclined to be incredulous as to the amount of money Whitfield owes have been convinced that it was possible for him to be deeply indebted. One of Whitfield's largest creditors made the following statement to an Act representative: Creditor Tells of Whitefield's Operations. "I have been so badly stung by Whitfield that I am ashamed to talk about it, and do not want my name published. When Whitfield disappeared several of his largest creditors were gotten together, and we figure that he left New York owing between $19,000 and $22,000. When you take into consideration that Whitfield's collections in rents amounted to $11,000 monthly it can be seen how easily he could owe such a sum. Then the property owners for whom he did business charge that for the past three or four months he resorted to the policy of having extensive repairs made on the property he handled and would deduct the sum charged. reporting to the owners that the painter, plumber, carpenter, etc, had been paid. It has been discovered, however, that very little money has been paid for repairs, and that the painters, plumbers and carpenters are waiting for their money. Quite a number who were worried about Whitfield's disappearance had collateral to collect. Whitfield did quite an extensive business on paper, and several business men declared they would suffer financially if he did not show up as they had indorsed a number of notes for him." For three years Louis E. Whitfield, who is hardly more than thirty years old, has led a spectacular career, and wine, woman and song are said to be responsible for his disappearance. He was known as a big spender in all the leading colored restaurants and amusement places in New York, and was always one of the principals in the gayest of parties at Atlantic City, Asbury Park or Arverne. Although quiet in manner and dress, the reckless way in which he separated himself from the coin of the realm mattle him an object of attention. Gossip has it that only a short time ago he purchased a pianola for his palatial apartments in the Beatric for $900. At one time he was the owner of an automobile. Whitfield formerly conducted his business offices in 135th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. About five months ago he moved to 473 Lenox avenue. The furniture installed in the new offices were of the best. Friends and acquaintances of Whitfield recall that a year ago last September he was found in his apartments unconscious by a man who smiling gas broke open the door of the apartment and ensured that the attendant and ensured that the man from an arthropod was there.

WANTS TO BE CONGRESSMAN Prileau of South Caroline Again Files Notice of Contest Against Congressman Legare — Contestant Says Thousands of Negroes are Denied Privilege of Vetting. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 10—Maintaining that the will of the popular voters and citizens of the First Congressional District of South Carolina for representative in the sixty-third Congress of the United States had been denied at the recent election on account of race and color. Aaron P. Prioleau, Republican candidate for Congress, and a prominent Negro politician, has filed notice of contest with the State Board of Canvassers, charging that the election of George S. Legare, the Democratic candidate, had been secured by illegal methods. In his notice of contest Mr. Prioleau charges that out of 200,000 citizens and electors in the district, 68,000 of which are of legal age, only from four to five thousand were permitted to vote at the general election for President and a representative in Congress. It is said that the contest will be taken to the United States Supreme Court for adjudication. The notice of contest reads as follows: To the Members of the State Board of Canvassers, Columbia, S. C.: Gentlemen: Please take notice that the undersigned herein protests against the election of Congressman from the First Congressional District of South Carolina for representative in the Sixty-third Congress of the United States of America upon the following grounds: First, that the will of the popular voters and Citizens of said district was denied on account of their race, color and previous condition of servitude. Second, that out of the 200,000 citizens and electors of the afore said district, 68,000 of which number were only twenty-one years of age, about four or five thousand voted in this general election for presidential and vice-presidential electoral and for representative in Congress from the said election held in the said district November 5, 1912, for the Republican, Democratic, Progressive and Socialist party candidate, which shows conclusively that over 60,000 local voters of the said State and district were deprived of the right to vote, or did not vote in this election according to the publication given by the United States census for the said district, which is, composed mostly of colored people who pay their taxes and perform all other (Continued on Page 2.) INSISTED ON LOVING A COLORED GIRL Infatuation of White Man for Negro Miss Causes Trouble Horsewhipping and Fight is the Result. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. ASHUCKEN, Ga., Dec. 10—In a battle following the horsewhipping of C. R. Christmas because of his infatuation for a Negro girl, John Christmas was killed and his brother, James Christmas, and J. D. Ward were probably fatally wounded. Several others are reported to have been wounded. The battle occurred Saturday night at Kings Mills, a lumber town near here. C. R. Christmas had been warned to let the girl alone, but Friday night he visited her. He was captured by employees of the lumber plant, stripped and horsewhipped. His clothes were burned and he was forced to make his way home naked. His relatives and friends went to the lumber mill to seek revenge. The lumber mill employees then opened fire with automatic shotguns. RAILROAD DISCRIMINATES. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 11. Prof. Thomas W.

Politicians and those interested in the political doings among Negroes have been compelled to smile at the futile attempt of Robert N. Wood, leader of the United Colored Democracy, to discredit the article appearing in a recent issue of THE AGE which told of the efforts of the Wood-Carr faction to make the banquet tendered Bishop Alexander Walters on December 4 a failure. When THE AGE, as a matter of news, disclosed the unfriendly plot of the Wood-Carr faction to boycott the Walters banquet there was consternation in camp and plans were at once laid to convince the Bishop that the disclosures in THE AGE were only published to divide the United Democrats. Papers whose clowns are always open for the publishing of anything for a consideration were used to break the news to the Bishop that THE AGE had sought to cause trouble between him and the leader of the United Colored Democracy. There are so many disconnected statements in connection with the open letter that the few who have sacrificed the time and patience to wade through the weighty document have been wont to ask what it was all about. The misleading introduction to the open letter refers to the heroic effort as a reply to a statement published in Tue New York Age by the State and County Colored Democracy, officially made, although a few lines below the "official statement" of the State and County Colored Democracy says: In giving out this interview * * * I am apprehending officially for the New York colored Democratic organizations, but I personally know that I am accompanying the views of most of my associates. Some colored Democrats maintain that the open letter was not an official document issued by the State and County Colored Democracy, but was published at the instance of one of the prominent members, and that "up-to-date" journalistic methods were responsible for the incongruity. Despite the attempt of Wood to cover up the scheme to boycott the Walters banquet: the members of the United Colored Democracy and many others know full well that the dinner would not have been such a big success had it been left to the energies of Wood. Not only were Wood and his lieutenants invited to participate in honoring Bishop Walters, but they were assigned to speak, but respectfully declined. The excuse of Wood for not attending the banquet was that he was making a fight on Counselor James L. Curtis, who had the tranque in charge. The Wood-Carr faction was well aware, however, that Bishop Walters had sanctioned Counselor Curtis' actions in getting up the dinner. Members Warned Not to Attend A copy of the following letter was sent to all the members of the United Colored Democracy, which was sent in the nature of a threat, forbidding them attending the banquet. Dear Sir, A number of members of the United Colored Democracy, including myself, have received invitation to attend a banquet, to be tendered The I Farthest By Booker T.

His journey was a journey among the smallest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for commits itself to book, and that I avoided everything except many or worth little looking at. My only excuse is that I was in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him. With Frontispiece Map Net $1.50 Doubleday, Page & Co.

This affair is managed solely by the so-called chairman, and is given without the aid or consent of any political committee or organization, and our organization has not been consulted or asked to take any active part in the season and no other, after a careful consideration of all the circumstances by our officials, it has been decided that the members of our organization, as members or as individuals, cannot attend the dinner and maintain the respect and dignity of the organization. It has been and still is the policy of this organization to remain loyal to Bishop Walters in all his political undertakings, but the respect and dignity of our—the best and only real Democratic organization—must be maintained. As a member of the United Colored Democracy you are requested to give this numerous consideration and govern yourself and constituents accordingly. Those who know of the issuance of the letter by Wood instructing the local colored Democrats not to have anything to do with the Walters banquet find it difficult to understand how Wood could have the effrontery to charge THE AGE with seeking to provoke a controversy among the local colored Democrats. All fairly disposed persons declare that the letter sent out by Wood speaks for itself. Twenty members of the United Colored Democracy attended the banquet despite the veiled threats of Wood. The attempt of Wood to use THE AGE as a shield in his attack on Bishop Walters causes local colored Democrats to recall the occasion when Wood and Lee appeared before Chief Murphy some months ago, when he is a talk with Murphy over the fight for control of the United Colored Democracy Wood declared to the head of Tammany Hall that he would have carried the Twenty-first Assembly District had it not been for the opposition of THE NEW YORK AGE.

New York RIGID LIBERIAN CLIMATE Decenosed Contracted Severe Form of Maternal Fever While in Africa - Was Formerly Collector of Port at Charleston. CHARLESTON, S. C., Dec. 10—Dr. William D Crum, United States Minister to Liberia and Consul General at Monrovia, and formerly Collector of the Port of Charleston, died at the home of his sister, Sarah A Chaplin, at 157 Ashley avenue, Saturday afternoon, shortly after 12 o'clock. Dr Crum was stricken in Liberia with a severe form of malarial fever, which affected his heart. He returned to Charleston about two months ago on leave. His death had been expected for some time. He was in his fifty-second year. Mrs. Crum, who had stopped at London to visit friends, had been advised of his critical condition and reached Charleston several days ago. the death of Dr. Crum removes a figure about which a bitter political controversy was waged, a controversy which made of him a figure of national importance. When on April 1, 1903, he was appointed Collector of the Port of Charleston by President Roosevelt a storm of opposition broke out, not only in this city, but all over the South. Senator Tillman and others made a long, hard fight against the confirmation of the appointment by the Senate, but their efforts were in vain. This fight was renewed in 1909 when President Roosevelt reappointed Dr. Crum to the office, Senator Tillman conducting a successful filibuster to prevent confirmation of the appointment. On February 27, 1909, Dr. Crum wrote to President Roosevelt resigning the position. The resignation took effect on March 4, the day on which President Roosevelt stepped out of office and was succeeded by William Clinton. It had been reported that President Taft would probably give Dr. Crum another position in the service of the Government, and the rumor was confirmed when he was named by the President United States Minister to Liberia and Consul General at Monrovia. Dr. Crum shortly afterwards left Charleston for the African post and there he served until his return to Charleston about eight weeks ago, his health completely broken by the Liberian climate. Dr Crum was a physician by profession. He was a graduate of Howard College at Washington, from which city he came to Charleston and took up the practice of medicine. He built up a large practice among the colored people of the city and was considered one of the leaders of his race in this State. Dr Crum is survived by a widow, a sister and a brother. RIVALS TO CELEBRATE Two Organizations Will Hold Emancipation Exercises January 1—Lincoln League and Civic League Clash—Both Making Extensive Preparations. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Avistata, Ga., Dec. 10—A merry war seems to be brewing among some of the "big guns" relative to the celebration of Emancipation Day. For years the Lincoln League, of which Dr. C. T. Walker is the leading spirit, has had the monopoly of exercises on the first day of January, but a new organization, the Civic League, the Rea Thomas H. Dwelle, president, has lately been organized and will also hold a celebration. The Civic League is made up of the younger element who claim that the ancient Lincoln League does not truly and well represent the achievement and attainment of the Angusta Negro. They charge that too much prominence is given to ante-bellum thought and ideas and not enough to intellectual and up-to-date progressiveness. In order to discount the idea that they are not up to date, the Lincoln League will make extra efforts to have its parade, which is a feature of its celebration, the most unique ver. attempted. In carrying out this idea it will have an old fashioned cost at the head of the parade, loaded with sweets of the oldest Newcomen men and women with a banner inscribed '1861'.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10—Prof. J. P. Strickland, the newly appointed Assistant Register of the United States Treasury, was the guest of honor at an elaborate banquet last Friday evening, tendered by The Arkansans, a club made up of progressive young men from Arkansas, residing at the nation's capital largely as students or as officials under the Federal Government. The affair took place in the parlor and state dining room of the Twelfth Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. Covers were laid for forty. The program embraced introductory remarks by the vice president, W. E. Turner, who acted as toastmaster, in the absence of the president, M. F. Harris; addresses of welcome in behalf of the club, W.

Thompson, president of the National Negro Press Association; piano selection, J. N. Donohoo; and remarks by M. S. Caver, "How The Arkansans Are Making Good Everywhere." Mr. Strickland, who delivered the closing address, spoke in an exceedingly happy vein of the honor conferred upon him by his fellow citizens of Arkansas, a state which he was proud to call his home, and pledged himself to do all within his power to show them that the commission placed in his hands had been worthily bestowed. The officers and members of the club are: H. F. Harris, president; W. F. Turner, vice president; E. W. Harrison, secretary; H. H. Rhineheart, assistant secretary; J. J. Porter, treasurer; E. R.

SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT BREAKS OUT IN HOUSE Congressman Tribble of Georgia Disgusting in Speech Against Negroes Serving as Postal Clerks and Letter Carriers Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10.—In the discussion of the appropriation bill, in the House of Representatives last Friday, Congressman Trible, of Georgia, strenuously opposed the idea of Negroes serving as postal clerks or letter carriers and expressed the belief that Negroes should be excluded from taking civil service examinations. Following are the remarks of Mr. Trible, the Democratic Congressman from Georgia. Mr. chairman, I desire to join my colleague from Georgia, Mr. Bartlett in his protest against civil service examination for fourth-class postmasters if true that I am especially justified in tinsine my voice against this executive order, because if there ever was an official Negro-hidden town it is the city of Athens, Ga., where I live. I have seriously considered the civil service proposition as applied to post offices, and I see danger in the proposition. If you will analyze this order and its requirements you will find that the examination under the civil service order will place in the fourth-class post offices in the South, as well as those in the other parts of the United States, many Negroes. They will stand the examinations and take their places at the windows of small country and village post offices. I want to say to you here today that the people of this country will not stand for it. Gentlemen, in all sections for the North will stand for it. I will district three ```markdown ``` Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENT BARREN LAND MADE VALUABLE Thomas B. Patterson Shows White Agriculturists How to Do It HELPS 500 FARMERS Through Negro's Methods Abandoned Farms in Schuylkill County, Pa., are Made Fertile 300 PER CENT. INCREASE Farmer Known as Instructor of Hegins Valley Tells About His Work. Proud He is a Negro. Special to THE NEW YORK AOK READING, Pa., Dec. 10—Thomas B. Patterson, one of the six hundred colored farmers in the State of Pennsylvania, is attracting more than ordinary attention in agricultural circles through his work of transforming a six-acre farm in Schuylkill County, which had been abandoned for years, into a fertile and productive property. Farmer Patterson's agricultural stunt is the principal subject discussed among the five hundred tillers of the soil in Hegins Valley, and the Reading Eagle has the following to say about the Negro's activities: If one had occasion to travel through the Hegins Valley ten years ago, he was attracted by its beautiful scenery—rolling hills topped by huge oaks and divers specimens of the pine family. But stalks of corn supplanted the stately trees; where acorns thrived, now cower grows; where squirrels trolicked, now children play; where weary berry pickers existed, happy families live today. Here and there was a small farm, but today the vast majority of operations are operated school with Thomas B. Patterson, the instructor. Thomas prefers to be called a Negro. Approximately 50 years ago the Negro knew little of home life. He was uneducated. In this country today 750,000 Negroes own their farms, $3 banks are doing business on a solid basis with Negroes as stockholders and officers, 2,500 practical physicians and officers, 6,000 practicing physicians, 4,000 Negroes do service in the courts of the land. Perhaps many of these had as their aim the motto of Thomas K. Patterson, "My ambition has always been to show the world that the Negro has the same ability as the white man, if he only gets the chance to prove it." In 1903 Mr. Patterson took possession of an abandoned farm. He spent one whole year in clearing up the place. The Negro, the soil, using scientific methods he had acquired during years of study. He put into operation his five-year crop rotation system. His observations convinced him that in the older sections of the United States, especially in the eastern part, many farms lost their fertility and became non-productive through lack of sufficient knowledge. He undertook to solve the problem, how to develop worn out properties. In his own words he relies on his accomplishment: It is a task for every one man to lay down an exact rule that will meet all conditions, for there are many things the prospective farmer must know that can be learned in no other way than by every-day contact with the work in hand. The knowledge gained at the agricultural schools is extremely valuable along this line, as a man is better fitted to cope with and solve the problems as they arise than one who has had no previous training. The most ordinary farmer can take virgin soil and produce good crops on it as long as he lasts, but the problem is that he must itself to another thinking farmers is how to develop these worn-out soils and make them productive at the least possible expense, or how to retain the fertility that has been stored up by nature in good soil. Property Divided Into Five Parts. BARRON LAND MADE VALUABLE (Continued from page 1.) ery cured I shell off the ends in the usual way. The remaining seed on the cob are shelled upon a table, from which I pick all the faulty grains. It is surprising to see how many inferior grains are to be found. "At the proper time I plant in rows 40 inches apart and with a machine that drops a seed every inch. Inches the row, begin to cultivate as soon as the corn is ripe, first with a single cultivator, after which I use a two-horse riding cultivator. I work the corn as long as it is safe to get into it, usually once every week. At the last cultivation I sow crimson clover. This is a rapid grower and aside from the scientific principle involved, acts first, as a cover crop over winter; second, it tends to keep the ground loose, the roots striking so deeply in the soil, and lastly it affords a fairly good sod for the spring crops. After the corn is not beginning to turn the blades, we are not beginning to turn the fodder and shock in the field. The next week or two the corn is husked in the field and taken from there to the crieb, the fodder, stalks and all, being hauled to the barn and fed to the cattle. Corn Thrives Best in Sod. "One thing worthy of note is, that the corn gets a start sooner and seems to do better in that part of the field that is manured during the summer and fall, and that it thrives better in a sod than in bare ground. "The next year this stubble corn field is divided, one-half being sown in oats, and one-half half put out in potato fields. With the oats I use a fair-grade fertilizer, putting about 200 pounds to an acre. With the potatoes I use a high-grade fertilizer, same amount, which I sow in the row with the potatoes. After the potatoes are planted I harrow from one to three times with the spring tooth harrow, and just as the plants come up I harrow again with the spike tooth harrow to break up the weeds. The idea of this vigorous harrowing is to do away with as much hoosing as possible. I cultivate the weeds until I can no longer through the rows. "The oats is harvested about the latter part of July and the potatoes about Sept. 8. The ground is then plowed and thoroughly worked as for corn, after which it is sown to rye and wheat. Timothy seed is drilled in with the grain at the rate of five to six quarts per acre. I sow one bushel of rye and one and one-half bushels of wheat per acre. A mound as the snow is off the ground in the spring, and while the earth is still frozen, I sow common red clover at the rate of four quarts to the acre. The winter grain is harvested about the first of July. After harvest, large quantities of weeds usually come in the stubble. Just before the seeds mature I run the mower through and leave the weeds to rot on the ground. I sow the seeds before the seeds mature. I rake them up and use them as building for cattle. "This constitutes the third year. The next two years the field lies in grass. The first year a mixed clover and timothy hay is made from this field and is extra fine for which cows when properly curred. The next and last year in the rotation, straight timothy hay is made, after which the ground is prepared for corn as in the beginning. "I do not use large quantities of commercial fertilizers, but rather put my faith in stable manure which, after all, contains all the elements claimed for commercial manures. They simply as an adult buryer they are immediately available and present in the growth of the plant. It depends very largely on the kind of fertilizer you get, however, for I have had some that was not worth the bugs in which it came." Five Staple Crops. Mr. Patterson's rotation plan shows that he has five staple crops growing all the time and that one crop is grown on the same ground only every five years, that the ground is thoroughly manured every five years and that a grower work and care are given to each crop. The results he has obtained from fields treated as described have proved to be "eye-openers" to his neighbors. Slowly, and not until Mr. Patterson had results, did they adopt his methods. Where one blade of grass was grown the years ago, now the land has increased at least 50 per cent, and farmers are not anxious to dispose of their properties. Mr. Patterson and his wife live happily in a new home located on an eminence. The plans were taken from a farm journal and the work of creation was almost entirely done by them. The farmer is skilled at driving a spike as she is at baking a leaf of bread. Thomas was born in Columbus, South Carolina, of slave parents. He found his way through the Hampton Normal and Agricultural School, Hampton, Va. In Philadelphia he took a course in the high school for colored youths, preparatory to entering college. One year was spent at Yale, then in order to earn a little money he taught for the college. He then industrial schools, Alabama, and later North the second time. He is a member of the Church of God at Welshample, about one and one-half miles from his home. Every Sunday he walks this distance and in Sunday school he has charge of a class of boys. He is the only colored man who is a member of the State Grange. The Hegins farmers regret one thing. Mr. Patterson will leave them. He has secured a position at the downstreet Industrial and Agricultural School. Mr. R. Patterson has lived up to his motto: "Show the world that the colored man has the same ability as the white man, if he only gets the chance."

Kink-no more will straighten the smallest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works the magic, and is unique because there is no other preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Klink-no-more is in a vegetable compound, and it is not hard to use. It will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remem- ber to do it all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Klink-no-more, enough to straighten from one inch to another head, better, regular, postal money order or express money order.

Washington was principal speaker at the exercises held Sunday afternoon at the Dickinson High School, Jersey City, N. J. It was the first time many of the white citizens had been privileged to hear the eminent educator and apostle of common sense, and they appeared very much impressed with what he had to say. After the exercises the Superintendent of the Jersey City Public Schools and a member of the Board of Education left the school building together. They were so deeply engaged in an animated conversation over Dr. Washington's talk that they did not notice the pedestrians close behind them. "My! I did not know there could be so much intelligence behind a dark skin." "And his voice was not so loud as most darkies, and he really spoke in a modulated tone," quoth the other school official. We refer to this incident to back up our claim that the race prejudice in America is primarily due to the ignorance of the white man on the subject. With the Caucasian's conscious and unconscious prejudices, based solely on color, he forms an estimate of the Negro which is wrong, misleading, unjust and injurious—injurious not only to the Negro but to the white man. Time will show that such is the case. Furthermore, the white man oftimes makes himself ridiculous by discussing the Negro and posing as an authority, when it could be shown that he knows but little on the subject. How can the Negroes of this country expect fair play and equal opportunity when prominent school officials who are supposed to be highly conversant with all races and classes of people in this country evince such woeful ignorance? If with them it is difficult to conceive how a black man can be intelligent, what should we expect of the illiterate, ignorant white? True, many of the speakers are loud-mouthed and their talks are characterized more by noise than logic, but we have orators who are orators in every sense of the word, who are of the Booker Washington type, whose efforts at oratory are not confined to din, but who are forceful, logical and temperate, and who sway their bearers by their eloquence and philosophy. The so-called race problem in America will never be solved until the white people come out of their lethargy and look facts squarely in the face. To-day their ignorance of a people with whom they live side by side is criminal, thereby hindering the social advancement of the country because of their inclination to regard every one of ten millions of people inferior because of the color of their skin. THE DINNER TO BISHOP WALTERS If Washingtonians can teach New Yorkers anything we don't know what it is. A community which for forty years has followed the leadership and accepted the dictatorship of two such men as the late Perry H. Carson and the present W. Calvin Chase may deserve our pity but cannot command our respect. My class who is a ignorant as be a venomous eye in newspaper, the Washington Bee. The Bee has been informed that the New York Negroes will kill Alexander Bishop Alexander Waters. And for what should a Negro be given a dinner because he supported the Homeless rattle party and greeted him "Jim now" the colored citizens in the District of Columbia? Is this the reason that Bishop Waters is to be given a dinner should be drawn in the Hood? trated editorial article on "The Milestones of Life" which would appeal to every sane minded person in the Republic. The illustration starts from the cradle and runs in two roads, the upper leading to a glorious mansion on the mountain and the lower to a great abyss in the lowest of valleys. On the road to the mansion are a stack of books, a map, a scroll, a desk and chair and the illuminated mansion at the end. It is the way of the child of the Christian home who leaves a good provision in the beginning and comes to a better at the end. On the down road are a pack of cards and a stack of poker chips, a bottle of whiskey, debts, dishonesty and the dark abyss at the end. The picture is theatrically suggestive. In commenting on the picture the Journal writer says: This picture, in its simple earnestness, is a good picture for fathers and mothers to show to their boys and girls—especially, the boys, now with the new year approaching. Tell the children how short life is, and what wonderful things can be done in the little journey. Make them feel that every step is important. Make them believe that the milestones of life are real and that that which is written on them actually tells which way the traveler is going. Make the boys feel that gambling, drinking and debts lead surely to the milestone marked "Dishonesty" and to the end without hope. Make them understand that they can pick their road. And teach them the art of studying themselves, and criticising themselves—without egotism. What are the great milestones in life, and how should the grown man and woman consider them and recognize them? Shakespeare divided life into seven ages—seven milestones of physical condition. The great stones on the road are really four—childhood, youth, maturity and old age. We live too quickly and die too soon. Our various standards hurry us too rapidly through the four periods of life. Childhood should last at least until the sixteenth or seventeenth year, youth until the fifteieth, the prime of life until the ninetieth. And old age, still vigorous, but contemplating the outside universe and the great questions soon to be answered, should last from ninety to a hundred and forty at least. In your particular life which are milestones already past, and which are those that stretch ahead? The milestones that you have passed tell which way you are going. Lucky the man who realizes when he is on the wrong road and turns back, no matter how late. The Journal writer must have a broad and generous heart, which is one of the best assets a person can have with which to begin and end life. Such a person will be the friend of all deserving persons who know him and have as friends and well wishers all deserving persons who know him. We should also bear it in mind always that no person "lives to himself alone," and that mankind are prone rather to do unto others as they do unto them than to do unto others as they would that others should do unto them. As discovering his generous heart the Journal writer says: "The majority of human beings, fortunately, are not very bad; they are simply not very good." That is a very charitable view to take of average human nature, in which the philosophy of "every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost" is found to be present and more or less troublesome in all of the transactions of life, both small and great. If selfishness does not rule the world it is because the Mammonites have established a rigid system of laws which restrains the selfish strong from robbing and oppressing the selfish weak. It is true, as the Journal writer says, that "every man can try to make his life what it should be, and turn in the right direction"; it is equally and lamentably true, however, that every man does nothing of the sort, but allows himself to drift through life, so to speak, along the lines of least resistance, and oftener fetches up in the abyss beneath than in the mansion above. The dividing line between success and failure is as thin and slender as the thread of hair by which the sword of Damocles was suspended above the head of the reckless reveller at the banquet of the Tyrant of Syracuse, that he might the better judge of the insecurity of the pleasures of the kingly estate, of which Damocles had boasted. Much of the misery of mankind is traceable to vaniglors boasting and extravagant display The milestones of life may be divided into seven ages—of physical condition ten years to each age. It is not too much to say that the first ten years of man's life determine the last sixty of it. As Alexander Hope says, "the child is father to the man." If parents would keep this truth in mind in dealing with their children we should soon have a better and stronger manhood and womanhood. The child who is allowed to have its way as a child will insist upon having it as a youth, and when the parent fails to bend it the police may have to step in and do it "for the good of society," which has no sympathy for unruly members. We have everything to expect and hope for the race from the young people who shall come on the stage every ten years for the next seventy years, out of Christian homes of their parents into Christian homes of their own. Their opportunities of education and material effort are constantly enlarging, and are such as their forefathers did not enjoy from 1865 to 1912. The dinner was given to Bishop Wallers last week by distinguished New The Democratic Congress does not meet until March 4, next, quite three months hence; how does the Bee know that it "is about to offer a bill in Congress to Jim Crow" the colored citizens in the District of Columbia? If anything like that is contemplated is not Bishop Walters in a good position to help keep it out of Congress, or if it should get in and through to influence President Wilson to veto it? It seems so to us. President Wilson is on record in his letter to Bishop Walters, as published in The Ann. before the election, as being opposed to such class legislation and Bishop Walters has spent a great part of his life in nighting such. In this matter of class legislation, the Democrats who urge it will have to look with Mr. Oswald Garrison Vilhoff of the New York Ewing Post and hundreds of friends of the Negro like him, if not as influential who supported President Wilson. The Democratic leaders of Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts are against class legislation and President Wilson, as he does, will not be disposed to override their protests and laws in the meantime. Please see the leaders who may be involved in the trade. . . . The dinner was given to Bishop Walters last week by distinguished New York people without regard to party, who regard Bishop Walters as a great citizen, who in times past has not failed the race and who will not do so in the future, should his party adopt such a policy as to call for his protest and opposition. He has lived among them the better part of his mature years and they respect him for the purity of his living and for his zeal and courage in all good causes, for race uplift and betterment. They don't have to endorse his politics in order to do this. The subscribers to the dinner are all gentlemen of independent means and position, who will not be drowned in the Hudson river nor occupy it as "a grave of foods," but will continue to live the lives of forceful citizens until they die, when they will be burned in fires most of them, have paid for an advance. Alexander Walker is a good Bishop and a great citizen, and in honoring him the Negroes of New York honor him. Alexander Walker is a good Bishop and a great citizen, and in honoring him the Negroes of New York honor him. classify. Like other ethnic classifications of the citizenship they have been grouped according to their conventions on political and economic questions, on Christian philosophy and on the moral questions which govern social relations; and with this separation into groups has also come, very fortunately, toleration for the opinions of others and appreciation of the work and distinguished men of the several groups. There is urgent need that this fact be impressed upon the minds of the people, as the line between the worthy and the unworthy must be more and more rigidly drawn and insisted upon if we are to command from those of light and leading in the world the respect and confidence that make for the greatest happiness and well doing. We repeat, the Negro citizens of New York have honored themselves in honoring Bishop Alexander Walters. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN COM-ING. In the last two issues of THE AGE we have shown in a gratifying manner that the Negro business men of New York are coming rapidly and staying. The large body of real estate operators we have is as representative in character as any like number of white operators in New York. They have opened to the Negroes of New York a class of tenement and other property unheard of in the old days before their coming. As we go along from time to time The Age will continue to show what the Negro business men of New York are doing. There are plenty of people right here in New York who think they amount to nothing and are doing nothing. They think that way because they don't know any better. Our merchants, doctors, lawyers, undertakers, druggists, hotel and restaurant keepers, garage owners, theatre lessees and real estate men are all here, however, and growing stronger all of the time. Read The Age every week if you desire to keep up with the best thought and effort of the race not only in New York, but all over. ```markdown ``` JACK JOHNSON AGAIN. There must be a number of sober, thoughtful, level-headed colored men in Chicago who ought to find it possible to get together and put a curb upon Jack Johnson's exploits. Turt Ack finds no fault with Mr. Johnson for marrying whoever he pleases, that is an individual matter but a sensible person can fail to foresee that Jack Johnson is piling up trouble every day for himself and for the race. He is killing the goose that lays the golden egg. He has gotten his money from white people. He will find it much harder in the future to get money from the same source in the degree that he has in the past. Besides, we must face the inevitable fact that there is a lot of race prejudice in this country against intermarrying, and we predict that within a few years there will be a serious attempt made to pass a law in Illinois which will prevent marriage between black and white people. There were not a few headstrong, tough-haired men during the days of reconstruction in the Southern States who went ahead and did foolish things regardless of public sentiment. There were not a few level-headed colored men in the South during the days of reconstruction who warned the hot-headed leaders that they would regret their action and the whole race would be made to suffer because of the folly of a few. We fear that the whole race in Illinois will be made to suffer in the future because of the notorious and unseemly exploits of Jack Johnson. Not a few colored men have married white women—white women of high standing morally and socially, but they did so in a quiet, modest way without exploiting themselves before the public in a way lack Johnson has done. In order to convince our readers that we are not making any unnecessary outcry in this matter we print below the utterances of Northern governors on the subject of intermarriage. These Northern governors speak not only for themselves but for their white constituents in the Northern States. Most if not all these governors who are against intermarriage are Democrats whom Democratic Negroes have helped to elect to office. Jack Johnson, if we do not forget, came all the way from Chicago to make a speech in the interest of Gov. Dix. Johnson will be especially interested in seeing what Gov. Dix has to say about his marriage. Gov. Wm. Spry, Utah—I am trying to pass stringent laws in all my neighboring States against the intermarriage of whites and blacks Utah and this presents one of the most heartwarming examples of the governor, Gov. Dix, New York. The Johnson wedding is a blot on our civilization. Such desecration of the marriage tie should never We beg of our readers to be careful to ponder carefully what these governors say and decide for themselves whether it is worth while for them to let an ignorant and uncontrolled prize fighter put the whole race in an awkward-position before the world. Johnson is certainly piling up trouble for the race. GOVERNORS CONDEMN LYNCH LAW The Governors' Conference at Richmond broke up in a storm last week, the echoes of which will long be heard in the land. Gov. Cole Rease of South Carolina provoked the stopin and got the full force of the lightning bolt in his blackguardism. The Richmond correspondent of the New York Sun puts the matter as follows: The Governors' conference broke into a storm of personal remarks and defiant utterances just before the noon adjournment to the whispers of Gov. Ernest Redd. It was not of forced resolutions putting the conference on record against lynch law and mob rule. Gov. O'Neal, declaring that he represented a State with a large Negro vote, prefaced his resolutions with the remark that a certain member of the conference had made remarks, which gone forth to the world, which were of a nature defiant to law and order and repugnant to law abiding citizens, and the "conference should, without delay, repudiate them as contrary to the views of the conference." Gov. Gilchrist, Florida, seconded the resolution offered by Gov. O'Neal, Gov. Mann, Virginia, as a substitute for the O'Neal resolution: That it is the sentiment of the conference of Governors in session at Boston, that the violence of mob acts should be used whenever necessary to protect persons accused of crime of every kind, that the violence of mob acts to provide for speedy, orderly and impartial trials by courts of competent jurisdiction, to the effect that the protection of life and property be enforced and respected by the people. Fourteen Governors voted for the resolution and four against it—the latter being Donaghey of Arkansas, Baldwin of Connecticut, Hawley of Idaho and Kitchen of North Carolina. The people of Connecticut should compel Gov. Baldwin to explain his vote. It is not conceivable that he should favor lynch law and retain the confidence of the good people of Connecticut. Every Southern governor in the conference except Donaghey and Kitchen voted against mob law. "To hell with the constitution" yelled Gov. Blease, as the conference wrote leaked on his blasted reputation. He may have to go there himself before he reaches the Federal Senate, toward the he says he is headed. There are forty-eight governors in the United States, but it appears by the vote on Gov. Mann's resolution that there were but fourteen in the conference. The Negro's light for a trial by the process of law in all cases to which he is a party is in dead earnest. He should make an mistake as to that. GOV. O'NEAL OF ALABAMA. GOV. ONEAL OF ALABAMA. All praise to Gov. Emmet O'Neal of Alabama for his manly and brave stand in reference to lynching before the Governor's Conference at Richmond. The way Gov. O'Neal sat down on Blease at South Carolina was most manly, courageous and praiseworthy. We are sorry to hear that while Gov. O'Neal and other Southern governors condemned Blease one or two weak-minded Northern governors voted against the resolution condemning him. We wish we had many Southern governors like Gov. O'Neal of Alabama. FOR NEGRO DEMOCRATS TO CONSIDER We profile below interviews with Senator James of Kentucky and Representative Burleson of Texas, telegraphed from Washington. That this is no fanned peril to the colored prominent Southerners as Senator elect James Kentucky, and Representative Burleson, Texas, in their expression of opinion that, while Negroes might be appointed to such positions as助手 of messengers or doorkeepers, the policies of any authority over other men, especially over white men. It may be assumed that this reflects the feeling of Southern members especially. We suppose words like these sound pleasantly and encouragingly to the cars of such Negro Democrats as Dr. Waldron, Dr. DuBois and others. A. SUCCESSEUL, FARMER In this week's issue of THE AGE we reproduce from the Reading (Pa.) Eagle a highly interesting article showing what one of Gen. Armstrong's Hampton graduates, born in South Carolina, has accomplished in the development of a small farm in a Northern state. What Mr. Thomas B. Patterson has done as a small farmer in a Northern state and what he has to say about farming and farm methods are not only of great moment and interest to the New York farmers of New England, Middle and Western states but to those of the Southern states as well. All things being equal, what one man has accomplished another man can accomplish The beacon lights in the history of mankind are the men and women who have made the most of the ordinary opportunities of their times, and whatever sort which others were not wise enough or too timid or conservative to undertake. Opportunity lies at every man's door, but every man does not recognize it not make the most of it when he does. Patterson on the Doyle Creek farm is be a model farmer among white farmers is one thing; to be a leading spirit in educational, church and Grange work is another; to be a black man of light and leading among white men in both things, as Mr. Patterson is, is not only creditable to the man but an inspiration to his race. But Mr. Patterson is getting along in years and the rough work of the mountain farm is beginning to tell upon him; we therefore think that he has done wisely to dispose of his farm and to accept the position of Farm Director at the Dowingtown Industrial and Agricultural School, near Philadelphia. It should be good for him and for the school. EDITORIAL NOTES In China the only legal wife is known as the Kit-fat. She may he divorced on seven counts—if she has no children; if she proves immoral; disobedience to her husband's parents; overtalkiveness; given to the thievery; jealousy; afflicted with leprosy. Next. Mayer Lunn of Schenectady, N. Y., who is a Socialist, "defends the courts" but the courts are not frightened. Jupiter in his times "defied the lightning" also, but we have the lightning yet. Where is Jupiter? The mayor of a city should be the last person to "defy the courts." The priceless art treasures gathered in the imperial palaces of China are to be held in London and New York. The rise of the Chinese Republic and the fall of the Manchu dynasty are among the most momentous events in the history of mankind since the fall of the Bastille and the inauguration of the French Republic. According to the estimates furnished to Congress upon its opening, $11,105,206,963 will be needed to run the Federal Government until June 30, 1914. That is a very great sum of money, much of it due to extravagant appropriations for purposes that do not in any way benefit the taxpayers. In the revised Baptist Bible the word "hell" is cut out and the word "underworld" is put in its place. This was done because the revisors do not know the spiritual meaning and significance of either word. Might as well ask such men to define the intimate relation and meaning of the words "Sesame" "Goth-semine" and "Amen." In Philadelphia they have many sorts of graft that we cannot have in New York. The mayor has just put Independence Hall, which houses the Liberty Hall, into the hands of an uninsured commission, as under the old management the public paid annually some $10,000 per annum in fees, price of souvenirs, and the like.25 which never reached the city treasury. Historically, he also to make something out of nothing, "to pick up any money" is one of the developed weaknesses of the national life, called corruption, which, along with other forms of graft, are sapping the virtue out of the national life. --- Former Senator Henry W. Clair, who many years ago made a long but losing fight for Federal aid to education, resides in Washington. He is President of the Anti-Third Term League. He has written to President-elect Wilson desiring him to lend "his support to the passage of resolution submitting constitutional amendments to the States that will prevent the election of any man for three terms as President." The prejudice against a third term is now a constitutional amendment, prohibiting such a national security. The national sentiment has swung away from old moorings so rapidly, however, since the War of the Rebellion that such a constitutional safeguard may prove a wise provision. The news dispatches say Jack Johnson has married Miss Lacey Cameron. That is his right. As the woman in the case was willing no one in Illinois has a legal or other right to interfere with their right. Under the circumstances the proper and safe thing for them to have done is to get married and be able to defend their rights within the law and public opinion. The right and duty of men and women to marry is not only at root of Christian philosophy but the law which couple obliterates it. The right of black men to marry white women is higher and more moral than was the right of the slave-master to force his slave woman and to sell his children by her to pay his gambling debts. Speechmaking at the annual dinner of Southern societies in New York has not in the past been productive of much good; on the contrary, much to provokebad feeling on the race question has been said, all the more disgusting because there was never any Negro present at "the banquet of funeral baked meats" to reply to it. Only cowards "with a little brief authority" abuse and maltreat people and refuse them an opportunity to defend themselves. The Tennessee Society in New York had a great success in the stereoption slides for speechmaking. The innovation was a pronounced success and should be adopted by the other Southern societies in New York. The average American talks too much any how any place he is. That is to say, the average American knows too much The mania to murder somebody crops out violently about the end of every thirteenth year and sweeps through the nations between the thirteenth year before and thirteenth year of the beginning of every century, with a deluge of blood the round-up of every thousand year. It has been that way for 3,824 years past. What is the mystery of it? Take the man J. Frank Hickey, under arrest at Buffalo. He admits that he has murdered three little boys, and is suspected of having murdered many others in different parts of the country. A sort of nature must be a great factor that it could find pleasure in thinking about the country in glistening little boys. The case became the trial of Jesse Pompey, now a widow in the Massachusetts town of a boy had a warrant for killing a boy with pleasure in that in that in his way. Minister Fawzi Wei. Dec. 16—Members of the race are accustomed to think of labor problems among Negroes as arising where there is a lack of opportunity for work, or where there is a threatened reduction of wages, or where, because of prejudice or other reasons, they are prevented from getting or holding positions. One also hears a great deal about Negroes being denied opportunities to work at skilled trades. As a matter of fact, the opportunities for Negroes to work at skilled trades are increasing. In all areas, South Negroes are being sought for to work it skilled trades. Labor unions are becoming more friendly to Negroes and are doing more than they have ever done to organize Negro working labor organizations, only one hundred mile or ten, principally connected with the railroads, now bar Negroes. The real labor problem for the Negro in the South is not getting opportunities to work, but in making the most of them. The South is not working. A striking example of the recently took place in the Newport News Shipbuilding. Yard: There are employed in this ship yard, about 4,750 persons, almost half of whom are Negroes. They trade in trades and occupations, in all of which except two, bell bangers and electricians. Negroes are working in greater or lessed numbers. The distribution of white and colored workmen isava trades at this ship yard are as follows: As anglesmiths, white 23, colored 84; as blacksmiths, white 46, colored 60; as bell hangers, white 63, colored 0; as bollor makers, white 143, colored 103; as brass machines, white 143, colored 0; as brass machinists, white 101, colored 10; as coppermachins, white 36, colored 6; as drillers, white 20, colored 115; as electricians, white 76, colored 0; as fiters, white 373, colored 115; as fitters, white 373, colored 115; as joiners, white 150, colored 14; as lumber yard laborers, white 11, colored 11; as common laborers, white 12, colored 135; as engineers, white 198, colored 191; as outfitters, white 50, colored 192; as outfitters, white 50, colored 192; as pattern makers, white 42, colored 4; as plumbers, white 138, colored 18; as power house workers, white 12, colored 22; as riggers, white 103, colored 300; as riveters, white 150, colored 563; as ship shed workers, white 61, colored 156; as steam engineers, white 174, colored 51; as teamsters, white 1, colored 25; as yard men, white 7, colored 9; as foundrymen, white 66, colored 88; as engineers, white 61, colored 156; Total employed, white 2522; colored 2188. The weekly pay roll for the colored employees is $25,000. Many of the colored workmen, mostly boys, spent so much of their time in idleness when their services were needed both by the ship yard managers and the foremen. It appeared that foreigners would be brought in to take their places. Their pay was increased, but this instead of making matters better, made them worse, and increased idleness and absurdity. The shipyard stated that there was no desire to replace Negroes with other laborers except where they were unable to obtain Negroes to do the work of the company. After the collapse of the colored workmen with the General Manager it was decided to have Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Alabama, come to Newport News and speak to the colored workmen. He brought squarely before them. He came last July and forcefully impressed upon them the importance of doing their full duty. He insisted that they keep the work regular, in every way improve, buy homes, and in every way improve themselves. Their mothers, wives, the ministers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and business men, would unite to see that the regularity of work ceased. In city and in country wherever there are any large number of Negroes, they are confronted with the same sort of a problem that confronted the colored workman at the New York problem of making the most of the opportunities for working. Nowhere in this country are the difficulties in securing work for colored persons as great as the opportunities for working. No Negro in the South has to be told because there no work person is specially in the trades, are continually hunting upon the South, it will be because he has not made the most of his opportunities. Nevertheless there is everywhere, as at the Newport News, always the place by foreign unless he become a reliable, a desirable workman. Although the problem of the shiftless, irresponsible Negro is general, it can be most effectively dealt with in a local way. Just as was done here, the colored people here have set an example which should be followed by the better class of colored people in every community. Led by the ministers, teachers and parents, they should come to the shiftless, irresponsible Negroes stick to their jobs. This class of Negroes is a menace to the entire race. It is from their ranks that the chain gangs are recruited. It is they who bring in a cause, the whole race to be charged with being unreliable and irresponsible. A WORD TO NEGRO LEAGUES. To the Presidents and Officers of Local Nigeria-Business League: Now that the political campaign is over and we are free to give our attention to matters that more directly concern our welfare as individuals and as communities. I want to urge upon eminent Neeru Nair, American United States to cut out a definite piece of work that the League may accomplish during the coming winter. First: In order to accomplish some definite thing, each league should have a special United States office. Second: A regular program should be mapped out in advance of each meeting. Third: Each league should have a special attractive place to meet in. Fourth: Each league should consider what the organization should do to promote the welfare of the community in business and commercial directions. There never has been such commercial activity existing throughout the country as is true today and our concern is that this problem is largely through the help and leadership of each local Neeru Nair. Every League that they will be able to do. Our league has not had a meeting Persons durning to organize a local New Jersey business may center information by writing to Mr. Cussett J.

Miss Martel will answer through this column questions of interest to women. Address her in care of THE AGR. A WORD TO THE WISE BY MAY MARTEL Speaking with a prominent white suffragette a few days ago, I was told that the greatest enemies to the woman's suffrage movement were colored men. Deep down in my heart I believe it, but I politely said I didn't, for considering the thousands of Negroes in the South whose rights are invaded and disregarded because they are deprived of the ballot it would have been humiliating in the extreme to have acknowledged that colored, men were in favor of a similar course towards any other body of human beings. To colored people the woman's suffrage question has a peculiar significance, and the angle at which they view it must be somewhat different from that of the whites. The injustice and discrimination from which they suffer should make them firm adherents of every move which stands for "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." The argument commonly used that the home will be disrupted has not been proven, and there is no reason to suppose that a ballot will cause a woman to neglect her home any more than other interests, or just plain gadding about, for if she is inclined to let home take care of itself she will do so anyhow. To hear some men one would suppose it took about six months to put a ballot in a box instead of a few minutes. Jury duty may demand their attention, it is true, but that does not happen often, and as the majority of colored women work anyhow, they would no doubt welcome the diversion. In the states where women are enfranchised, the home is quite as sacred as elsewhere. For forty-three years the wives and mothers of Wyoming have been voting along with their husbands and sons, yet lives move on in much the same round as in other parts of the country. There may perhaps be the difference that these women are a bit heavier, more broad-minded and intelligent than their sisters in the non-voting states, for they needs must keep abreast of the times. As to colored women holding office, there is little cause for concern: "political plums" are as scarce as hen's teeth for colored men, and there is no reason to suppose the case will be different for the women' if so, the colored men should be the first to give her praise. Women do not go to war, but they supply the men to do the fighting, and for that reason should have a voice in the councils which decree their husbands and sons to be slaughtered. WASHINGTON. D. C.

Every schoolboy is fascilar with the doctrine that "Taxation without representation is tyranny," for it is the principle on which this government is founded, yet there are thousands of women who are taxed yearly on property and have no say as to who their employees—the public officers—shall be. It is interesting to note that the anti-slavery movement and the women's suffrage cause are closely related. "In 1840 an anti-slavery congress was held in England. A number of American champions of the cause went to London—among them three women—Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Elizabeth Pease. They went as delegates, but the congress was dominated by the English clergy, and the women were directed to leave the convention hall and to sit in the gallery. William Lloyd Garrison silently registered his protest by sitting with them in the gallery. Out of this incident in far off London grew the first movement in America to enfranchise women, for the three, on returning to their hotel resolved to begin it; and through seventy-two years the struggle has continued, and the verdict of experience is that woman suffrage, where tried, is marching on." Thus it is seen that the women who had the courage to fight to free the slaves are the women who started the fight to enfranchise womankind. It has been said that colored people are never pioneers; that they are a backward race; but if this is true of the past, there is no reason why we should continue living up to the assertion. Now.

But he performs the the laughing hit of the bill, and Billy moves he is being paid for, however; Harper was very amusing. He is a THEATRICAL COMMENTS This item of news will come some to bubble over with enthusiasm, while others will incessantly wonder why space and ink are wasted in giving a bit of information freight with such little significance. But we must not despair because all do not throw their hats in the air and yell: Hi, hi, hurrah! The spirit of race pride is yet in its infancy, and it will have to reach its maturity before all of us can appreciate the little things that operate for the fundamental good of all. Miss Hallie L. Anderson, who has been at the head of one of New York City's leading colored orchestras for a number of years, is now officiating at the piano. She is the first colored musician that has had a steady job tickling the musical ivories at the Harlem theatre for many a day. History has it that a colored piano player was employed for a few days only when the Crescent Theatre was opened, but he failed to make time; so the usual policy of making the entire race suffer for the indiscretions of one member was religiously adhered to, and a white pianist was employed. With marked frequency I used to ask the first managers of the Crescent Theatre why they did not employ a colored pianist. I even went so far as to introduce one or two competent musicians to the management. But all my efforts to have a colored piano player installed proved mavailing. The principal excuse given me was that the first dukey musician had been very unreliable. I was referred to the excellent record of the white girl. I must admit that she was always on the job, and for over two years never missed a performance, except when she took a day off, and that was about three times in more than two years. When Fluegelman and Johnson sold out to Martinson and Nihar the white pianist went to the McKinley Square Theatre, owned by the Fluegelman-Cunningham Circum. The new owners of the Crescent Theatre followed in the footsteps of their predecessors and employed a white girl, who remained at the Crescent until about three weeks ago. The last time I saw her I was in the lobby of the Crescent talking to one of the proprietors. It was between shows and the pianist was getting a little fresh air. She and one of the colored male attendants got to skylarking and the young man was deservedly reprimanded. I have not seen the girl since. Upon my next visit to the Crescent Theatre I noticed that a white make pianist was engaged in playing the shows. My, what unconscious melody the made! He, was no piano player, he was a plumber. I was compelled to ask one of the managers why they did not get a good colored pianist, and I was informed that the matter, was under advisement. It certainly was a piece of good news. I was unable to get to the Crescent Theatre the second half of last week, but Tuesday evening as I entered the house my attention was called to the colored musician at the piano. Joyful ridings! Miss Anderson. I was informed, started to work last Thursday. So now the Crescent Theatre has an entire colored orchestra—Miss Anderson at the piano and Darling Mack working energetically at the drums and traps. Three lusty cheers for the new management! The Crescent Theatre is becoming a colored theatre not only from a standpoint of patronage but as to employees. There was a time when the cashier in the box office was white. The change was made during the Fluegman-Johnson regime, although it took them some time to inaugurate such a step. The management finally decided to employ a colored cashier, but it was only after more talks on the subject Many, many, many on the subjects. The first colored cashier employed was Miss Maude Jones, who quit vaudeville for the position. She filled her duties with extensive satisfaction, and so have all the other colored young women. I cannot refrain from relating how a white cashier was discharged during the first six months of the house's existence for trying to get rich quick, with the aid of two colored attendants—the doorman and one of the ushers. For several weeks the three worked their system to advantage and divided an affiring sum mightly. But they were caught up with and three familiar faces were missing. Now had the prime mover of the conspiracy been a colored girl no more chore-based maidens would have graced the box office; but in this case another white cashier was employed. Offlimits the colored people do not get what they are entitled to because they do not fight for it. Conditions are not always unfavorable because of race hatred. All the white proprietors of the Crescent Theatre have been friendly toward colored people, but it was natural for them to prefer white if there was no strong opposition. In the first place they had more confidence in their own people. In making a plea that colored persons be employed in all the theaters where the patronage is mostly colored, I do so without any bitterness or ill feeling toward white employees. But I am learning day by day, from the Caucasian that business and sentiment do not go well together, and that circumstances alter cases. For instance, the best THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Fiddler and Shelton are at the New Academy, Buffalo. John Hedge is at the Liberty Theatre, Honolulu, Hawaii.

QUIT UNITED TIME Hart and Johnson have tired of being jolled by the big time managers and have discreetly allied themselves with circumsits where they can get steady booking. Last week they opened at the Academy Theatre, which is booked by Fox. The first half of the week the act was at the Audubon Theatre, and the last half they are playing at the Folly, Brooklyn. After playing about two more weeks for Fox Hart and Johnson will sail for Europe, opening in Liverpool about January 6. Later they will play the Hippodrome, London. Indications are that the team will remain abroad several months, although they have been booked for ten weeks. All colored acts, good bad and indifferent have ceased to long for big time booking, and it is well that they have. Promises are about all they have been given this season. You can't pay the rent man with promises. CRESCENT THEATRE. With Chris Smith and Billy Harper the two Clippers and Mattie Edwards furnishing entertainment, the strongest hill that has been presented at the Crescent Theatre for some time was on tap the first half of the week. These three acts made business so good that they are being held over for the second half. These Clippers are certainly applaudless Clippers. Since last season at the Crescent Theatre they have invested in new costume, and in their opening number they are toughed up for fair. This is one of the nearest little acts in the business, and the only reason it is not on the big time is the managers do not want colored acts. The Clippers would do well to go ahead until the colored acts' stock goes up. The wireless telephone stunt is of ancient vintage. It is almost as old as Heck, but Smith and Harper make it a scream. Smith and Harper were the laughing hit of the bill, and Billy Harper was very amusing. He is a WE BOMB MY THIS BOSS. I NOW DO THE THING. I VEEN 50 BUCKLES LEFT.

HONOR COLERIDGE-TAYLOR Tuesday evening, December 2, the Chaminade Musical Club of Boston devoted its regular meeting to the memory of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the eminent composer. The exercises were noted for their informality as well as formality, the informality being the sketchy talks by Mrs. Maude Cuney Hare and Miss Genevieve Lee. After the gracious introductory remarks by the music chairman, Mrs. Bagnall, the program was as follows: Bulogy of the Life and Works of Samuel Coleridge, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. J. H. Lewis. The following pianoforte and vocal selections were compositions of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: Piano Solo "At the Dawn of Day." Miss Georgine Glover. Song "A Walt Disney Hide." Miss Genevieve Lee. Piano Solo (a) "From Forest Seenee" (b) "The March from Othello." Mrs. Maude Cuney Hare. Song "True Is All Iago Tells Me." Mr. W. H. Richardson. Piano Solo "Sound Treasure." Mrs. Badi Hutchins.

In the games of the Bradhurst Field Club at the Twenty-second Regiment Armory, Saturday night, December 7, Howard P. Drew, representing the Springfield high school, Springfield, Mass, running from the back mark equaled the world's record of 7 1-5 seconds for the 70 yard dash.

The nines represented are the Lincoln Giants of New York and the Almendares and Havana Reds, both of Cuba. Up to last week with three games played, the Almendares were leading, having played one game and lost none. The Lincoln Giants were second with a percentage of .500, having won one and lost one, while the Havana Reds, last season's crack team, had played one, which it lost. The first game was played between the Lincoln Giants and Almendares at Almendares Park, and the Almendares won, 10 to 1. Mendez, who was playing second base for the Almendares, made a home run with a bat which was given him by "Home Run" Baker, of the Athletics. Pedroso pitched for the Cubans and "Cyclone" Williams for the Lincolnns. The New York players found Pedroso a puzzle, while Williams went to pieces in the sixth and was hit freely Up to that time the locals had hit "Cyclone" safely but once. In the game between the Lincolnns and the Havana Reds the Cubans were represented in the box by Cabanas, while Wickware did the slab work for Lloyd's aggregation. The score ended 3 to 0 in favor of the Lincoln Giants. The pitching of Wickware and the fielding of Lloyd and Poles were the features of the game. Redding and Santop are expected to arrive in Havana this week. Captain Lloyd says with Redding, Wickware and Williams in good condition he will win the majority of games in Cuba.

Sunday was a glorious day at Bethel. Services were largely attended. Dr. Arnett preached both morning and evening. On the fifth Sunday of this month Dr. R. C. Ransom, former pastor of Bethel Church, will preach in the morning at Bethel Church. St James' Presbyterian Church. The congregation of St. James' Presbyterian Church board the pastor, Dr. Lawton, last Sunday morning in his second discourse of encouragement and assurance of success for the plan of church expansion determined upon by the official Sunday school was well attended and held an interesting session. Since decision day, two weeks ago, twenty-five hashes and lads of the Sunday school meet the pastor every Sunday for religious instruction. The evening service was well attended. The pastor, H. H. Hammons, an excellent preacher, St. James Brotherhood on "God-like Manhood." Salem M. E. Church The Rev. Cullen, pastor, preached two soul-tiring sermons last Sunday. In the morning his subject was, "And let us not be weary in well doing for we shall reap if we faint not." In the evening his subject was, "And Noah Walked with God." Twelve persons were added to the church. At 2.30 p. m. the Sunday school and young men's Bible class convened and discussed the subject, "Humanity." At 4 o'clock Mase. Cummings rendered one of the best programs we have had during the fall term. Representatives were present from St. Mark, St. Olivet, St. Benedictus and St. Phillips. Tuesday evening the Brotherhood held a very instructive session. Next Sunday evening at 4 o'clock the Brotherhood will render the program for the Lyceum, with James Albright, president, in charge. Union Baptist Church. At the Union Baptist Church, 204-6 West 63rd street, Dr. G. H. Slima, pastor, last Sunday morning, the Rev. M. T. Lynch, pastor of the Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, Rutherford, N. J., preached a most excellent sermon to a large congregation, from II Timothy 6:11, "Take Mark and bring him with thee, for he is profitable for the ministry." After the morning service R&V Lynch preached the funeral of the minister of the church. He spoke from John 12:7, "Let her alone, she has done what she could." Her remains were placed in Cypress Hall cemetery. The Sunday School convened at 2 p.m. A large number of scholars were present and discussed the lesson. Supt. W. H. Johnson presented a colored doll to Miss Hazel Robinson for bringing in the highest amount in the rally. The missionaries had a spiritual meeting at 2 p.m. on Mrs. A. Williams was at her post of duty as usual. An excellent program was rendered to an appreciative audience. At 7:30 p. m. Rev. M. E. Lynch filled the pulpit. After a brief testimonial meeting, communion was served to a well filled house. Saint Davids Church. Advent with its glorious promise and the forerunner of the happy commemoration of the birth of the Messiah was unhored in at St. David's with a number of special preachers present among whom were such notables as Dr. Jno, Ellis Jones, Canon Barsar of the Cathedral of St. John the Lyman and Dr. J. Newton Perkins, secretary of the Church Building and Loan Association, who was the special preacher on last Sunday morning. There are a number of ships who from Sunday to Sunday until after Christmas will be heard. On next Sunday at both services there will be special preachers and it will happen that one will be the Rev. Dr. Scott, Archdeacon of Westchester. It is hoped that the friends and well wishers of the church will attend both services in order not to miss hearing either of the smokers. On last Wednesday evening the St. David's Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrews held its regular monthly meeting. So great an interest has been around in the work of the Chapter that it has been decided to hold two meetings each month instead of one. The Brotherhood is looking forward to a big mass meeting to be held in the near future when addresses will be delivered by prominent laymen from various Chapters in and about New York. Special notice later. A cordial invitation is extended to our friends and well wishers to visit the church and worship with us. Expect to see many of those without a church home. All seats are free and a hearty welcome awaits all who come. St. Mark's M. E. Church St. John 1:44 formed the basis of the Rev. Wm. H. Browns' sermon on Sunday, December 8. It was a spiritual treat. After the sermon the Rev. M. D. Gonzalez of Liberia, West Coast of Africa, made a few remarks to take up when he reaches home. He has finished a course in theology and medicine, the latter being a necessary adjunct to missionary life. He sued Wednesday for his native heath. At night Pastor Brother officiated administering sacrament to a large number of worshippers was in keeping with the occasion. The Epworth League held praise service under charge of Daniel Mason. Negro Teachers of Tennessee Mect. Sight to THE NEW YORK ACK Dyestburg, Tenn., Dec. 10. The ninth annual session of the Educational Congress of West Tennessee met at Dyerburg Every town and city in this section of the state was represented, as was nearly all the schools. The introductory sermon was preached by the Rev. L. S. Person, D. D., formerly of Jackson, Tenn., but now of St. Louis, Mo. The text was Phillipians 3:13, 14. The theme was "Paul a pattern, for those who would follow Christ." Able and experienced teachers from the best, colleges and universities of the United States mingled with the enthusiastic young teachers of the state. T. H. C. Gordon, president Board of Education of Dyerburg delivered a most interesting welcome address on behalf of the citizens of Dyerburg. Paper was read by Mrs. M. W. Penhill, Memphis, entitled "How to Fortify Our Stronghold." Another was by Mrs. J. F. Lane, Lane College, entitled: "Woman's Place in Modern Life," and an address by Prof. L. T. Larsen, principal of Le Moyne Normal Institute. Another interesting feature of this excellent program was the Round Table. Poor teaching, the cause, the cure. This was conducted by President J. W. Johnson, of Roger Williams University. Prof. W. A. Lynk-Memphis; Mrs. J. F. Lane, Jackson; Prof. C. Neal, Memphis; and other out most valuable contribution when acquiring this question. The president, by Prof. L. E. Brown, graduate of Fish University, principal in the Memphis City Schools. The president, Prof. E. L. Honeyse, principal in the Memphis City Schools, was uniting in his efforts. An interesting feature was a musical recital given by Miss Pearl M. Crawford, Memphis, who has sung before many of the crown heads of Europe. The recital was assisted by Dr. M. Myer, violinist; Miss Maude E. Mosby, teacher in Memphis City Schools, and Miss L. O. Washington, supervisor of music in the Memphis City Schools. The good people of Dyersburg will live in the memory of the teachers, on account of their generosity and hospitality.

Sought to THE NEW YORK AXE JEKLA) CITY, N. J. Dec. H.-Local Negro Democrats were given a taste of the new dispensation when James F. O'Meatha, the lately elected Democratic supervisor for Hudson county, on taking other preceded immediately to use the ase without regard to civil service or party loyalty, decapitating a score or more of the county employees, among the number being two faithful Negro party workers, Robert F. Lathrop, cook at the Mms House, and Eddie Williams, cook at the Tuberculosis hospital, both at Snake Hill, and both being under the civil service. A storm of protest arose at this summary action on the part of the supervisor and as a consequence Mr. Lathrop was reinstated after two days and Mr. Williams after three days. The rest of the employees discharged who were under the civil service were also reinstated, but the superintendent, assistant superintendent and visiting physician were not protected and they were not reinstated. Local Negro Democrats are wondering how long it will be before Supervisor O'Mealia finds some way of getting around civil service provisions and again swinging the axe over the heads of the faithful. BUSINESS PROGRESS Supplied by the National Negro Business League. C. D. McChelland, a successful plumber of Chicago, is the first Negro master plumber to pass the Illinois bar of examiners. Hartshorn College, an institution for Negro girls, in Richmond, Va., celebrated its one hundredth anniversary on October 17. Messrs A. Deine and T. J. Howard, two very successful business men of New Orleans, have opened a time shop store. The New Orleans Business Journal, a Negro weekly, has been changed to a Negro daily. It is hopeful to be known as The Daily Spokesman. John Baker, one time employed on the Union Pacific Railroad, recently purchased a farm at Grand Oakland. Nelson he retired to this farm. He also operated several restaurants. It is encouraging to note that Negro farmers of Alabama are seeing profit in hog-raising. A few weeks ago John Knight, of Decatur, Ala., shipped from his farm two carloads of hogs to Louisville. An "Old Line" insurance company, to be controlled by Negro capital, is now insured fact. The Standard Life Insurance Company, with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., and a paid-in capital of $100,000, is now ready for business. It has met all the requirements of the rigorous insurance laws of the State of Georgia, among which was that the capital should be invested in Georgia State, municipal or county bonds. This is a very fitting financial achievement to mark the fiftieth anniversary of our empire. This amount of money could be raised by subscription among a comparatively few Negroes is an indication of the remarkable economic progress that we have made. Too much praise cannot be accorded H. E. Perry, who conceived the plan, for his untiring efforts in making what had been for years a dream become a reality. Carnegie Gives $10,000; Rosenwald, $800 Situated in TU, New York, Age. Christianburg, Va., Dec. 3. The treasurer of the Board of Managers of the Christianburg Industrial Institute received recently a check from Andrew Carnegie for $10,000 and another check for $500 from Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. Mr. Carnegie's gift was made in accordance with a promise that he would give the last $10,000 toward improvements and endowment of the Christianburg Industrial Institute. The board having compiled with its part of the agreement, by raising $40,000, of the $50,000 making a school of $50,000 for the benevolent school. Of this amount $52,000 will be spent in buildings and improvements and $15,000 will go into the endowment fund. The contribution of $800 by Mr. Rosenwald was made through br. Booker T. Washington, and was conditioned upon a like sum being raised. The members of the Board of Managers of the Friend's Freedman's Association of Philadelphia, under whose auspices the school is maintained, promptly subscribed the amount necessary to meet the condition of Mr. Rosenwald's gift, making $1,600 available for current expenses. Fifteen years ago the Christianburg Industrial Institute was organized. It started with three students. The property, consisted of half-acre of land and one building. To-day the school has eight large buildings, three of them brick and several small ones, and 185 acres of fertile soil. The total equipment and several buildings, land and equipment will amount to more than $100,000. There are 250 students attending the school now, 60 of them being boarders. What has been done at Christianburg is an evidence of the practical working out of the Tuskegee spirit. Fifteen years ago three men from Tuskegee with their wives, who were Tuskegee women, took up the work at Christianburg. The hardships and privations which that little company endured will never be known. Two members have passed into the great beyond, the pres- 2 Light, airy house, rear house.
