Leading Ingro Newspaper AFTERMATH OF JOHNSON MUSS To Prevent Intermarriage Between Whites and Blacks Introduced MIGROES ARE ATTACKED Congressman Roddenberry Man- ages to Get into Print by Seek- ing to Stir up Racial Strife Measure Become Law by Congressional Enclosure United States Supreme Court Would Give Adverse Decision. Special to THE NEW YORK AUSTRALIA WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 18—As was expected, Southern Democrats who seldom get into print except by making savage attacks on the Negro in the halls of Congress, have taken advantage of the Johnson-Cameron incident to air their views on the race question, much to the disgust of hundreds of legislators who are Washington to make just how or all citizen dead of seeking air up racial strife. Congressman Roddenberry of Georgia got into the night last week by introducing a bill to abolish the Constitution so as to prevent intermarriages between whites and blacks. It was Roddenberry who, during the last session of Congress, opposed sessions for colored veterans of the Civil War. The majority of legislators know full amount to ascend the constitution so as to oppose against intermixeders be- came, whites and blacks would be de- fined unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court and have not been the Georgia Congressman seri- ously. During his outburst Roddenberry said: "Nothing will contribute more to the popular development and wise administration of a republican government than for the people in their legislatures to understand this resolution, to provide that however before it shall be contrary to the fundamental law of the Republic for a Negro or a part Negro or an African or a part African to intermarry and adopt the same description. The effect of this resolution is to submit to our nation a constitutional amendment for this purpose. "Before if you will, an African prizeholder—would keeper, in defiance of the law of the State of Illinois in accordance with the law of the State of Illinois in accordance with the municipal regulations—entering the office of a probate magistrate, calling on him to issue: to me, Jack Johnson! to me, John Johnson! to me, white woman, a woman of our own color. When a clerk signs, but air, except under given rules you cannot get it, forthwith the African turns to a superior and demands it, and the clerk is directed by his superior to grant a legal certificate permitting a white woman in Chicago, U. S. A., to be bound in the wreck of black slavery. Buffalo Northern Congressmen. The day, Mr. Chairman, during another discussion, we have already heard something from our Northern colleagues teaching the slavery of the Negroes of the South. No brutality, no infamy, no segregation, no slavery, posessed such wilfulous character and such great qualities as the permission by the laws of Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and other States which allow the marriage of the Negro Jack to a white woman. Gentlemen, I offer this resolution that the proper committee may consider it and that the States of the Union may have an opportunity to rush it. This is no amendment that we can as being peculiarly favorable to the interests of the portion of the nation that section far to the South of us such is the relation between the two such is the relation between the two such is that no African within all of Africa land carries in his heart the hope of liberation in his mind the aspiration can ever lead there to the alar of matrimony a woman of Caucasian land. You have some Negro problems up North in this country yourself. The above question stands out in the example of Johnson's marriage in Chicago to a white woman. The question is ever confronted your brethren in the South; and I say to you, in the Northeast, but in the depths of good friendship, that we in that far-off land will be glad, in the love of love and humanity, to aid you in its proper and to wise and its permanent solution. The record of Johnson's marriage is the records of Boston, the records of Chicago, and the records of other cities show that Negroes less prominent, of less notoriety, are from time to time binding themselves in electricity with weak and unfortunate diseases of the white race. Gentlemen, they not happen in the North, they God not have our brains in the North, of its recurrence. It does happen in the North; it does happen in the West; and I say to you that we are barely new, without the abitament of men without an appeal to arms, because a great four years' deluge of white blood, to join with you in the South, and in fellowship in the great Negro problem that The New York Age. UNITE TO HONOR WHITMAN Men of All Political Faith Attended Dinner Where. Mayoralty Blam is Launched-Collector Charles W. Anderson and Assistant District Attorney Cornelius W. McDougall Present. The grand ball room of the Hotel Astor was crowded to its capacity last Thursday evening by friends and admirers of District Attorney Chas. S. Whitman who had gathered to pay him homage for his signal services to the city. It was in all respects one of the most remarkable tributes, ever paid to a District Attorney of New York. Frederick C. Tanner, of the 25th Assembly District, in which the District Attorney resides and under whose auspices the banquet was given, was toastmaster. Other speakers were Senator Horah of Idaho, George Gordon Battle, Talcott Williams and A. Barton Hepburn, the storm of applause burst forth last week and the latter was minutes later: "The host has been faithful over a few things; we will make the ruler over many." If the applause which greeted this sentiment may be regarded as significant, there is no doubt of the desire of the District Attorney's fellow citizens to make him the next Mayor of this city. Following are a few excerpts from Judge Whitman's address: "Keep the District-Attorney's office out of politics. No matter what your alliance may may ever be, the voice of noon-night familiar at all with the conditions knows that I am right. Whatever may be its power for good in this community, and I believe that that is great, it can be used as an instrumentality for evil and as can no other office in the land." "Evil conditions, if they exist, continue only by the permission or on account of the indifference of the people, who after all are most vitally affected. One of the citizens demand that they shall be. The saying that New York is as good or better than another city of another land perhaps does not answer the questions that have been uppermind in the public mind during the last few months. That there is to-day in New York a public dislike and an increased sense of personal responsibility in the affairs of the city. I believe all keen observers will agree." Among prominent men present were Alton B. Parker, Democratic candidate for President eight years ago; Cornelius Vanderbilt, Judges Malqueen and Swan, Chief City Magistrate McAdoo, Chief Justice of the Court of Special Sessions Russell, Justice O'Brien of the Supreme Court, ex-Congressman Bennett, ex-Congressman Parsons, Congressman Calder, State Chairman Wm. Barnes, Jr.; County Chairman Samuel Koenig, Controller Prendergast, Borough President McAnney, District Attorney Cropsey of Kings County and John D. Rockefeller. Collector Chas W. Anderson and Assistant District Attorney Cornelius W. McDougald were also present. EXERCISES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY EXERCISES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Dr. Stephen Newman Inducted in Office Before Distinguished Gathering Friday. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—In the presence of a distinguished assemblage of men and women of both races the Rev. Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman was inaugurated President of Howard last Friday afternoon. He succeeds the Rev. Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield, who was elected a bishop of the M. E. Church last May. The exercises were held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel of the University. The inauguration procession was formed at the library and led by the University choir to the chapel. Following an invocation by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele of the Court of Claims, who as president of the board of trustees of the University, presided, delivered into the hands of Dr. Newman the seal, keys and charter of the University. President Newman, in his inaugural address, declared that the Negro could succeed in any calling. He said that the force of imagination must be strongly present in the being of every person of achievement. The colored people are rich in this element of creative imagination, he declared, and are, therefore, called upon to hear their full share of the burdens in the general uplift and achievements of the races. He concluded by counselling peace and brotherhood, and urged that the time for cooperation among the peoples of the earth is at hand. Senator Charles F. Johnson of Maine brought the greetings of his alma mater Bowdin College, of which both Dr. Newman and the late Oliver Otis Howard, founder and first head of the university, are graduates. Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, said that Howard University was the center of Negro education on this continent. Dr. Henry C. King, president of Oberlin College, and Dr. W. S. Scarborough, head of Wilberforce University, also make addresses. After the inaugural ceremonies a reception was given at President New- Wood Claims He is Not Fighting Bishop Walters, but Politicians Want to Know What He is Doing. Another chapter was added to the comedy of errors, wherein the Wood-Carr faction attempted to boycott the non-partisan banquet to Bishop Walters on the evening of December 4, but failed dismally, when, at a meeting of the Executive Board of the United Colored Democracy, held Friday evening, a resolution was jammed through censuring all members of the local Democratic organization who attended the banquet. Most of the session was consumed in attacking those affiliated with the United Colored Democracy who had ignored the command of Wood to remain away from the affair. Only a few of those who participated in the Walters banquet were at the meeting, and when called upon to explain why they had disregarded the wishes of Wood were not backward in declaring that they had gone to the banquet because it was their personal privilege and did not propose to be treated as children and weaklings. Several members of the Executive Board present did not favor passing the resolution of censure, but they did not have the nerve to object. It has been argued that the members that while mentioning the members of the United Colored Democracy do not relish the scar-like methods of Wood and his lieutenants, yet they do all their criticizing on the outside, and when they attend meetings are as meek as lambs and do as they are told. Politicians believe that the resolution of Obama is going to make matters worse. The members of the United Colored Democracy who attended the Walters banquet exhibited pluck by paying no attention to the edict of Wood, and many expect to see them raise a rumpus because the Executive Committee sought to give them a calling down. Wood occupied the floor most of the time at Friday's session of the Executive Board, and on one occasion declared that he was not aware that the colored Democrats of the country had elected a leader; that at Baltimore in July he had been selected chairman of the Executive Board of the Democratic League, but no leader was chosen. The fact that Bishop Walters had been elected president of the league at a previous meeting held in Washington have passed out of the speaker's memory. With the approaching Mayoralty campaign already being talked of, and the big fight Tammany is in for, those who study politics from all angles say the attempt of the Wood-Carr faction to turn the Walters banquet into a political gathering will precipitate a fight which disgust hundreds of colored voters who have regarded Tammany Hall with favor. A peculiar feature in connection with the fight being made on Bishop Walters is that the Wood-Carr faction is not attacking the churchman in the open, but is trying to cover up its work, which is being crudely done: Although Carr claims he is opposed to Counselor James L. Curtis, not Bishop Walters, few can understand what political position Counselor Curtis occupies that has provoked a spirit of jealousy and occasioned so much anxiety and concern. The Man Farthest Down By Booker T. Washington Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education, Etc. 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 optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while 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. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1912. WESLEY L.

Odessa Warren Grey opened up a hat shop, furnishing the colored women of Greater New York an opportunity to secure the latest product of Parisian and New York millinery without having to be humilified by the prejudice shown Negro customers in some of the white shops. Six months after paying increase of the business necessitated larger quarters and the shop was moved to 41 West 135th street, where it is now located. That the colored women appreciated Mrs. Grey's effort is shown by the constant and steady increase of business. Mrs. Edward Warren, her mother, is actively engaged in the business and a talk with her brought out some interesting facts. Mrs. Warren said that the volume of business during this year is sixty per cent. greater than last year, and the amount of patronage received shows that their effort to give satisfactory service is productive of splendid results. They have a good class of white trade also, selling bats to patrons at the hotels Astor and Plaza and several private residences on Fifth avenue. Some customers have been with them since the twentieth century, the shape they see for South as Aiken, S.C. and Texarkana, Tex. They already do a good mail order business through New Jersey and Connecticut, and in a short while a special illustrated catalogue will be issued. The firm employs four to five apprentice girls regularly, and enjoys a credit with the wholesale establishments to any amount they care to buy. Barbershop Has Haberdashery. The Gilt Edge Barber Show is located at 27 W 135th street, and Robert Johnson, formerly of Augusta and Savannah, Ga., is the manager.

HOLDS LAST MEETING AT THE WHITE HOUSE Special to THE NEW YORK AUE WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—At the final meeting of the Jeanes board of trustees at the White House, Saturday, the old officers and committees were re-elected. Booker T. Washington presided. President Taft, Andrew Carnegie and other prominent men were in attendance. The officers are: President, James H. Dillard, New Orleans; vice-president, Walter H. Page, New York; treasurer, George Foster Peabody, New York City; secretary, Robert R. Moton, Hampton, Va. Executive Committee—Booker T. Washington, chairman; David C. Harrow, James H. Dillard, H. B. Frissell, Samuel C. Mitchell, J. C. Napier, Robert L. Smith, R. K. Moton, secretary Finance Committee—George Foster Peabody, chairman; Walter H. Page, Bolton Gilead. This meeting, which President Taft, who is one of the trustees, pointed out was the last they could hold in the White House, drafted a resolution of thanks to him for his courtesy in allowing the meetings to be held there from time to time during his administration. George Foster Peabody, the treasurer, presented his report, showing the present market value of the $1,002,000 of securities belonging to the fund and how they are invested. It was decided to disburse the coming year the sum of $35,865 as salaries to supervisors for the fund of the colored rural schools. The Jeanes fund was one of $1,000,000 bestowed in 1908 by Miss Anna A. Jeanes. The interest on the fund amounts to about $50,000 a year, and this income is being used to promote the effectiveness of the Negro rural school by introducing industrial features into it of a simple and practical sort. Washington, D. C., Feb. 18. There was a net decrease of the officers and a net increase of 4.455 enlisted men in the authorized strength of the regular army last year.

Washington Speaks in Interest of Hospital Association Local Physicians Expect to Collect $50,000 in Order to Build and Equip Hospital After Meeting at Abyssinian Baptist Church Tuskegee is Entertained by Doctors. That the Negroes of New York shall have a hospital built, equipped and managed by and for Negroes was the verdict given by an assemblage of more than a thousand people at the Abyssinian Baptist Church Thursday evening December 12, when Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke in behalf of the McDonough Memorial Hospital Association at a rally held to interest the people of the city in the plans of the association. The spacious auditorium was filled to capacity with people who are interested in the hospital association, and a wave of genuine enthusiasm swept through the audience as the objects and needs of the association were laid before them by the various peakers. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D. pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church presided. The audience, representing people of every walk and chase, after invocation by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D. pastor of St. Marka M. Church, attended to short addresses by Dr. H. M. Griffin, chairman of the committee on arrangements for the meeting, and Dr. P. A. Johnson. Dr. Griffin spoke of the work accomplished by the association in the past three years, money being raised to pay off all indebtedness against the charter, which accumulated during the years the charter was held inoperative. The legality of the charter authorizing the operation of a hospital for colored patients was also established. Two thousand five hundred dollars has been raised. All expenses of the association have been paid, and there is a balance of $1,500 in the treasury as a nucleus for the fund of $0,000 which it is hoped to raise as a starter for the work. It is planned for the immediate future to build and equip a hospital and put it at the service of the Negroes of New York. Many Efforts Made to Acquire Charter. Dr. Johnson told of the efforts of the old hospital association, and gave some of the reasons for failure of its plan to materialize. He had held the charter intact during all the years it was inactive and preserved it for the use of the new McDonough Memorial Association. The Jews of the East Side had offered $75,000 for the use of the charter, but the offer was refused, as the selling of it would have deprived the Negroes of their opportunity to secure a Negro hospital. The principal speaker of the evening, Booker T. Washington, was introduced by the presiding officer, the Rev A. C. Powell, who said that a sign of racial unity and progress was the establishment and maintenance of race institutions and race enterprises in the North as well as in the South. "If the Negroes of the North are behind the Negroes of the South in racial development it is because the leaders of the race in the North are so afraid of drawing the color line they put a white blanket over everything that looked distinctly racial. The establishment and conduct of colored Y. M. C. A.'s, industrial schools, colleges, hospitals and business enterprises are making us manly, because they give employment to our own and are institutions in which we are taught the important lessons of self-control and self-direction," the speaker declared. A great ovation was tendered Dr. Washington when he arose to speak He had been referred to by Dr. Powell as "one of the seven great men of the world," and there is little doubt that the audience assembled were anxious to show that they agreed with the characterization. In his address he referred specifically to the changed conditions which meet the Negro coming to the North from the South. Climatic differences are not understood and changes in clothing and manner of living are not made to meet the new conditions. The consequence is that many ailments which the Negro of the South is unfamiliar with are contracted by the Negro in the North. The speaker voice the need of proper maternity hospital facilities for Negro women. "Other hospitals cannot and do not offer the same care and attention for the colorer mother as a hospital managed and directed by colored physicians and nurses," he said. There is an element of sympathy and a desire to render help in the one that cannot be looked for in the other because of the absence of the personal relation. Dr. Washington described also that the building and managing of institutions for one's own people develops race pride and fosters patriotism. Many Give Subscriptions. At the conclusion of Dr. Washington's address, which was listened to with deep attention and enthusiastic applauded, an appeal was made by the Rev. Powell for funds to aid in the work of the association. Blank subscription cards were used, and those present were given an opportunity to use these in making subscriptions for the work. The cards filled totalled about $150. A collection was taken and $40 in cash was given by the audience. Music was furnished for the meeting by the splendid choir of Abyssinian Church, and that body of singers has seldom been heard to as good advantage. The platform was occupied by many prominent ministers, and physicians, among them being the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, Dr. Benjamin F. Tilton, head surgeon of the Lincoln Hospital; Dr. P. Johnson, Dr. H. M. Griffin, Dr. A. C. Powell and Booker T. Washington The plans of the association call for the raising of $50,000 with which to start the hospital service, and much help has been given and will be given by the Ladies' Auxiliary, an organization among the women of New York, to assist in the work of the McDonough Association. Contributions from the people generally will be asked, and entertainments of various sorts will be projected. Meetings similar to this one will be held from time to time that the people of New York may be kept aware of what is being accomplished by the association, and for next month arrangements are being made for a charity ball at one of the large casinos, to which all its friends will be invited. Officers of the association are: Allen B. Graves, M. D., president; E. E. Rawlins, M. D., vice-president; J. R. Anderson, Ph. D., secretary; H. M. Griffin, M. D., treasurer. The board of trustees are: E. L. Walker, chairman; R. T. Graves, E. W. Lyttle, the Rev. E. W. Daniels, J. H. Anderson, Dr. A. Kellogg, Dr. J. B. Anderson, Dr. P. A. Johnson, Dr. R. A. Taylor, Dr. A.

Mitchell, principal of the West Alabama Agricultural and Industrial Institute, located at Geiger, Sumter county, Ala., left this city this week making complimentary references about the colored citizens of this city and Boston. Professor Mitchell, who has been in New England for six weeks in the interest of his school, was informed before leaving for New York that upon his reaching his institution he would fuel his office fitted with new and modern furniture, which had been made a present to the Neptunes of Springfield. Twenty-five of the leading colored citizens here formed a club last week and raised $200 to purchase furniture for Professor Mitchell's office. The furniture was selected and shipped a few days ago. While in Boston Professor Mitchell made an appeal to the members of Ebenezer Church for $25, to be used in furnishing one room in the dormitory of his school. The congregation, after a talk by the pastor the Rev Dr Ward, gave $50, with instructions to furnish two rooms in the dormitory. Thomas P. Pays, of South Conway, N.H., whose father formerly owned the land on which the West Alabama Agricultural and Industrial Institute is located, has become interested in the school and voluntarily gave Professor Mitchell a check for $100 toward the maintenance of the institution.

Hundreds of Negroes have been driven away. All over the region notices have been posted at night warning Negroes they must go or be killed. Similar notices have been posted on the houses of white carollovers of Negroes, informing them that if they do not assist in getting rid of the Negroes they also will be made to suffer. So many Negroes have fled that the wives and daughters of prominent planters are forced to cook, wash clothes and do other manual labor. Governor Brown will urge the authorities in the counties affected to check the lawlessness. If they fail, he will consider using troops. SONS OF CAROLINA. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

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, but to last for six days; else will make it kninken 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 like magic, and is unique, because there is no another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink no more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin nor balsam but it effectively removes daunting, promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for any Kink-no-more product, including the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair.

When The Age reaches the readers of The Age next week Christmas will have come and gone. The day the children of Christendom look forward to with greatest delight, as giving them the annual visit of good Santa Claus, beaming with smiles, good will and things for all of them—the day marks a distinct period in the life of each dear little child of all the millions of them in Christian lands. As we have said before, Jack Johnson, Lucile Cameron and Belle Serieber belong in the sporty class, which have a world of their own, the controlling law in which is that "a dead game sport is as good as the best when he has plenty of money and as bad as the worst when he has none." There are gradations, social and other, in the sporty world, as in that of the ultra-fashionable of the upper world, but in their own grade all sorts and conditions stand upon equality as long as they are able "to go the pace that kills." Few questions are asked, except by the police, who are often paid by the city to watch "the sport" and paid by "the sport" to shut their eyes while doing so. It has long been a flourishing business for "the sports" and for the police. It comes under the head of "the social evil," which has sapped the life out of every civilization of the past from Bahylon to Rome, and which makes Paris to-day "the gayest" and London "the most corrupt" city of modern times. And whose is the intherly spirit of Good Santa Claus? The Christmas holidays, however, are not the same for the children and the grown-ups of Christodom. The grown-ups have degenerated into celebrating those days with much eating and drinking and boisterous, often vulgar, demonstrations, so that often they become "too full for utterance." Good Santa Claus doesn't like that. He likes best the way the little children celebrate n. He would be greatly pleased if the grown-ups would learn of the little children, and celebrate the Christmas days with common sense and soberness. If they would do so he would be more gracious to them all the other days of the year. It is regrettable that this question of the marriage of blacks and whites should have arisen at this time and with Jack Johnson as the storm center; it is not a redeeming feature even that all of the women in the mix-up are in Johnson's class as "dead game sports." Nor are matters bettered by recalling that John L. Sullivan and other "sports" have run from one female excess to another and changed their wives, common law and legal, whenever the fancy moved them to do so; the morality of all such people cannot be gauged by the accepted standards of the church or State, nor has the public attempted to do it; it has just left them alone to burn away the candle at both ends and to escape the police power of the State by hook or crook. But Johnson's right to marry the woman of his choice who accepts him as the man of her choice is just as impregnable in law and morals as is the right of Gov. Harmon or Gov. Dis. To outlaw the right of a black man to marry a white woman by State or Federal legislation is to "abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States," which is prohibited to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. We extend to the readers of The Acz the compliments of the season. GOV. SULZER A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. When the Hon William Sulzer takes the oath of office as Governor of New York, at Albany, January 1, a different sort of Democrat from him will retire into the private life from which he was dragged by one those mischances politicians who make and unmake Governors sometimes, but not often, fall into. The retiring Governor, Hon John A. Dix, much resembles Horace Greedley's criticism of a volume of poetic singles when importured by the author for his opinion. "It has a fine landing," snapped the crabshed editor; so Gov Dix has a fine name, indirectly inherited from the famous Governor of New York, but he inherited little else from him. It may be truthfully said of him that he is the smallest Governor New York has had since his namesake vacated the office of Governor. It would be hard to find another Democrat in New York narrower on the Negro question in all of its phrases than Gov. Dix has shown himself to be. The Negro must meet the issue squarely. Next to the right to vote the right to marry is the most vital privilege of citizenship. The foundations of the national life are built in the Christian homes. To restrict the Negro in his right to marry whom he will, who will marry him, involves the same principle as to restrict his right to vote and for whom he will, as now do the Southern election and primary laws. Take away the Negro's right to vote, to marry the woman of his choice, and to buy and rent property and live in it wherever it is located, "on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude," and it will be at once seen that all the substance will be taken out of his citizenship and that he inevitably will be gradually reduced to the condition of the American Indian barricaded by the Government in a reservation, or of the Russian Jew who is rigidly segregated in his living districts and proscribed in his occupations by unbending law. Marriage is a question for every citizen to decide for himself; the church sanctions and the State legalizes it; when prohibition is put upon marriage by the State prostitution and bastardy are encouraged. It is not possible for any man in private or public station to be broad and honest in his living who has prejudices against any of his fellow creatures because of their accident of birth or condition or developed misfortune. Such people are much in the class of the Irishman on a jury in Brooklyn. The Irishman, after the jury was first polled, took a wooden-backed chair, turned it upside down on the floor, and, spreading his coat upon it, lay down. "That woman is entitled tan damages from the Long Island Railroad, but she has a Jew lawyer and O'Iliver vote to give that Jew a cent. When youse reach my way aff looking at it waike me up." The jury had to disagree. That we do not minimize the importance of this matter is sufficiently demonstrated by the violent and brutal speech made by Congressman Roddenberry of Georgia, in the House of Representatives, in support of his bill to prohibit the marriage of blacks and whites on Wednesday of last week. We do not need to favor the marriage of blacks and whites as a personal matter, but we do need to stand by the principle that blacks and whites shall be free to marry if they so desire, without legal or sentimental restriction, as other races are free to do it. It may be best and wisest for people to marry within their race lines, but what are the race lines of the Negro people and what legal statute can run a truthful division between the white and black lines? The effort to do so has always worked hardship to the persons and grave injury to the State, not only in the present but in all past times. Gov. Sulzer is a man of the people, approachable, affable, direct in his manners. We feel certain that Negro citizens who have occasion to petition him or must in a Negro regiment or for other things will receive a more ready and sympathetic hearing than they have had at Albany since Gov. Grover Cleveland left it for the White House some twenty seven years ago. military personnel to the army or navy and to the army hospital. There is pressing need for a hospital in Greater New York where colored patients can be taken without restraints and without hindrance, and where colored doctors can practice without being made to feel that they are not wanted. And equally important, a hospital is needed where colored internes and colored nurses can be employed and encouraged. That there is a necessity for more stringent laws prohibiting the alliance such as that of Jack Johnson, the Negro pugilist, and Lucile Cameron, a white girl, was the opinion of Governors who discussed the subject as follows to-day: Gov. Blease of South Carolina—"The marriage was a disgrace, a debasement of the sacred rite. In my State the Negro would have been summarily dealt with." Gov. Harmon—"Ohio has often agitated the passage of such a law, but I am sorry to say it has not yet been passed. Such marriages are a blot on our civilization." The colored doctors are in earners about having a first-class hospital here and we earnestly urge every individual white or black, who has at Heart the real progress of our people, to unite and stand by the colored doctors in this praiseworthy effort. A good beginning has been made. It has been a good many years since such a large and representative New York audience has gathered in any building as was in Abyssinia Baptist Church Thursday night, December 12, to hear Dr. Booker T. Washington speak and to hear about the plans for reviving the McDonough hospital. The very best families of our city were represented in large numbers. The church was packed. Now, if every individual who was present at this meeting will interest those who were not present, and if the colored people who come into touch with white people either as servants or in other capacities will interest their white friends, and the colored churches will take hold and do their duty, it will not be long before this hospital will be a reality. The details which some of the colored doctors gave in reference to the suffering caused colored patients by reason of the discrimination in the hospitals of the city was something that many did not know existed here. Gov. Mann—"Virginia would never tolerate any such procedure as the Johnson marriage. It is a desecration of one of our most sacred rites." Gov. Hadley—"Missouri long ago took care to protect her women, and the question never comes up before us." Gov. Foss—"Massachusetts, I am sorry to say, has no such book, but I am in favor of placing it on her statute books." Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania—"Any law to prevent the mixture of bloods of different colors has my hearty approval." Gov. Dix of New York—"The Johnson wedding is a blot on our civilization. Such desecrations of the marriage tie should never be allowed." We are not surprised that Governors Blease, Mann and Haddley should take the view of the question they do, because they are Southern men, devoted to the vulgar and debasing sentiment that a white man may debauch a black woman and give her a house full of bastards to support and educate, but that he may not marry her and live in the State outside the walls of the penitentiary or the limits of the chain gang; but we are surprised that Governors Harmon, Foss, Tener and Dix should take such a view, because they belong to a higher civilization and have no vulgar and debasing public sentiment on the subject to defer or cater to. They are educated in the Christian philosophy of "ye be men and brethren," which has pronounced any law to be immoral and destructive of the best interests of the State that places a premium upon prostitution and bastardy. Every State has strict laws and police regulations against prostitution and prostitutes, to which of late the Federal Government has added the Mann White Slave act, covering interstate commerce in prostitution. In the main, we do not object to the conditions of the act, but by the title of it it is both immoral and unconstitutional, in that the title protects white women and apparently leaves unprotected white mulattoes and black women, a discrimination as to "race and color" prohibited in express terms by the Constitution. So far, for the most part, the Federal authorities in their prosecutions under the act have seemed to aim to protect white and to leave unprotected white mulattoes and black women. Let our people of all denominations and all classes unite and stand by the colored doctors in securing the money which they are trying to secure for the building of the McDonough hospital. If the colored citizens are united and if the colored doctors will continue to lead the way success will be assured. Let everybody get busy. 'THE ANGLO-AMERICAN FINANCE COMPANY. Mr. John, Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va., announces in his newspaper, the Richmond Planet, the incorporation of the Anglo-American Finance Company, a trust corporation, with a capitalization of $125,000. "The loaning power will be practically unlimited, and money can be obtained upon good collateral in any amount up to and exceeding one million dollars," says Mr. Mitchell, the president. Mr. Mitchell has had flattering success as president of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond. He is the only member of the American Bankers' Association. As such he was brought into touch with certain English bankers who were interested by him in the incorporation and promotion of the Anglo-American Finance Company. The foreign interests will be adequately represented in the control and management of the company. There is plenty of business in the Southern States for such a finance company as Mr. Mitchell has been so fortunate as to father. There is no reason why it should not be vastly profitable to its promoters and helpful to those in whose interest it is promoted. THE BULL MOOSE ROUND UP. There were tip roaring times in Chicago last week. The winds howled from the expansive lake front and zero danced down the thermometer and high up the scale price of coal. Some 2,000 people were gathered from, all parts to the first Bull Moose Round Up since the cyclone struck them in the November elections. The Progressive party cohorts had gathered for conference. There was much noise and seas of talk. Col. Roosevelt, Miss Jane Addams, and all the Progressive highbrows were there, but we failed to find the name or the voice of Mr. Jeremiah Randolph Glleed of Texas and New York in the news dispatches. Where was he? The Progressive party conference had for magnet Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who was pulverized at Armageddon November 5, fighting for Col. Roosevelt and not for the Lord, who is not on Col. Roosevelt's side, but who is on the side of law and order and a square deal for all of the people. Miss Jane Addams appears to have been the brains of the conference. Her plan of organization and campaign was adopted "loud and long," while Col. Roosevelt, striking the grand attitude of Ajax defying the lightning, declared against any compromise or fellowship with Republicans unless they denied themselves and went over bodily to the Progressive camp. Chairman William Barnes, Jr., of the Republican State Committee of New York, summed up Col. Roosevelt's gospel of the Progressive party attitude, as the outcome of the conference, as follows: From the declaration at Chicago it ought now to be clearly apparent to everyone that Mr. Roosevelt's proposal is exactly what these Republicans who opposed his nomination at Chicago declared it to last spring. Mr. Roosevelt and the Progressive party now, not under the stress of a campaign, but deliberately, advocate that the power of the majority, now restricted, shall be absolute, so that to In characteristic fashion, Mr. Reservoir endeavors to before the issue, by stating that the courts rule the people. The fact is then, when the people through their legislative body pass a law, which is violative of human rights, the individual invokes the court as a protection and the court throws out the act because it is in violation of the guarantee of individual liberty. That the Republican party will over advocate the disestablishment of the judiciary which protects the weakest citizen from aggression and tyranny, is inconceivable, nor do I believe that the Democratic party will ever fail a victim to this addition. There is much talk about Republican leaders getting together in conference as the Progressives have done and looking the situation in the face. The situation is ugly enough to be looked all over. Negro Republicans in the South will be restricted in their delegations to future national conventions, the proposed reorganizers say, to the votes they cast in each State, under the ruling appointment. If that should be adopted for rule there may not be a Negro delegate from the South in the next Republican National Convention. MINISTER CRUM The death of Dr. William Demos Crum at Charleston, S. C., last week from the effects of African fever contracted in Liberia while discharging his duties as United States Minister Resident and Consul-General, came as a distinct shock to his host of friends. He was in the prime of his manhood and intellectual power when he died. His death is all the more mysterious because of the fact that he was a physician of great knowledge and skill in dealing with tropical fevers, gained in a long and successful practice of medicine in Charleston, whose mismomatic conditions are pronounced. If anyone should have known how to avoid the insidious African fever, or to deal successfully with it when it had seized upon him, it should have been a man of Dr. Crum's splendid physical development and skill and success as a physician in dealing with tropical fevers. The African fever has claimed as its victims most of the American Ministers Resident since President Grant appointed J. Milton Turner to that post in 1889, among the best known of the victims being Dr. Henry Highland Garnet, of New York. A peculiarity of the situation is that after spending eight years in West Africa as Minister Resident, Mr. Turner is still living in Missouri. Dr. Crum had been in the public service some twelve years. President Reeveselt appointed him Collector of Customs as Charleston in 1901, and the confirmation was held up for a long time in the Senate because of the opposition of the South Carolina Senators. He is claimed that the white Democrats of Charleston never became reconciled to his appointment. When President Taft came into office some four years ago Dr. Crum sent him his resignation, as he said, he did not wish to embarrass the Administration. It was accepted, and soon after he was appointed Minister to Liberia. He was a good public servant, a capable physician, a devoted husband and an amiable friend. GOV. BLEASE AGAIN. Gov. Cole Blease, the coarse Governor of South Carolina, has already received attention in these columns, but we cannot forbear to print the following editorial from the Montgomery Daily Advisor under the caption, "The Performance of Blease," which, in our opinion, is the best statement of Gov. Blease's case that we have seen in any paper, North of South. It is worth reading. The performance of Governor Cole Blease, in the Governor's Congress at Richmond was to have been expected; but it is none the less rerettable. The South can be sure that the country at large does not recognize in Governor Blease a true active of the South and it knows that he does not speak for the people of the South. It is regrettable that the South Carolina Governor should have made the spectacle of himself that he did, when he declared that he would lead a mob, and that he would not call out the militia to protect prisoners charged with certain crimes. In this statement he published himself to the world as a man who does not regard his oath to support the Constitution and the laws of his State. Please took the opportunity at the Governor's conference to deliver that part of his campaign speech which he has used in South Carolina, and by which he won the support of the ignorant and rude and selfish citizens of his State. The reckless declarations of Please before the Governor's conference, put him in the limelight, in which he so loves to stand. The speech must make an unfavorable it, reason in the State in which he happens to be Governor; it will do the entire South harm. Because his remarks will be given such widespread publicity. While the country generally will not recognize in Please a fit spokesman for the South, his defiant defense of laxness will affect in some degree the present movement of capital and settlers in the South from other States. The South has an unfavorable reputation in the matter of crimes of personal violence; it is unfairified that much of this deputation is justified. The men engaged in developing work who are financing large enterprises and who are endorsing to bring more producers to the Southern States, find that the reputation for violent crimes and for laxness form the greatest handrail to the success of their work. Man of the type of Governor Please deem to their native State and they do The editorial shows plainly that the Southern press—that is, the best element of it, is not afraid to speak out in the interest of righteousness. The Columbia, S. C., State and the Charleston News and Courier have both been equally outspoken in condemnation of the words and acts of Gov. Blease. EDITORIAL NOTES. All of the new parcel post stamps are red. Why can't we have a Negro bank in New York? The Christmas days are here, the coolest of the year. Old King Coal is a mighty old soul in winter days when his prices rise with the fall of the barometer. The hopes of office-holders are long, deep hopes, but they are not as long and deep as those of office seekers, and they have the monthly check to sustain them while they hope. Young folks starting out in life should keep in mind the fact that it is just as hard to get a good husband as it is to get a good wife, and that when they find each other they should make all sorts of sacrifices in order not to lose each other. President Taft will become Kent Professor of Law at Yale University when he ceases to be President. The work will be very congenial. What the Republican party will do after March 4 has yet to be determined. The Balkan states are liable to lose much in the peace negotiations in London that they won in war in European Turkey. The victorious Japanese suffered that way at Portsmouth, and the United States, indirectly, helped the Russians to rob them. France will stand by her allies in the Balkan war, says a cablagem. That is proper. A nation that does not stand by its allies is in the same class with the man who does not stand by his friends. And both are liable to fall down in a heap when comes the tug of war. Rishap Killigur read the riot act to the drunkards and "lewd fellows of the baser sort" in the Methodist Episcopal Conference of South Carolina, at Anderson, according to the Columbia State. He had some high and original views on the Negro question also which we will take up for consideration in The Age next week. President Taft has placed 20,000 skilled workmen in the navy yards under the civil service rules. When the Democrats come into control of the Government, March 4, they are going to have troubles of all sorts to get around the Civil Service Commission on removing from office the multitudes covered by the rules. The Progressive party leaders are out for blood. They claim that they will make no terms but those of "unconditional surrender" with the leaders of the Republican party. Saithe the proverb, "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." When apples float how they do float! "Substitute" is somewhat of a new word much used by English labor leaders, and is coming into use in this country. John Spargo of New York lately a labor leader in England, says the word means "soldiering or loafing on the job," a species of robbery much practiced by labor union workers to get "even with the boss" or to make the job last as long as possible. And others who do not belong to any labor union practice it also, and they are not always white in the face. Major-General Julius Stubel is dead. He was among the last but Major-General Daniel E. Sok尔斯 of New York the splendid group of men who reckon that high military grade in the Civil War. He was one of the Kossuth veterans of the revolution that swept through Central Europe in 1848. He and Major-General Carl Schurz, the great friend of Charles Sumner, the matchless leader of the slave in the Federal Senate, were great friends and rose to their high rank in the army together. The old soldier like the old slave is fast passing away. A pain in Monroe, La., has written a letter to the Chicago chief of police offering him $5,000 to deliver Jack Johnson at any point in Louisiana, where "the proud Caucasians will make short work of him." Why does not the Monroe blackguard go to Chicago himself and get Johnson and thus earn his own $5,000, which he never saw? Are they only allow white Caucasians in Louisiana, where in youth the French and Spanish settlers freely mingled their tainted blood with that of the free Indian and the black slave. Jack Johnson, the news dispatches say, has received many threatening letters and has doubled his guard, as he fears for his life. Most of the letters come from the South where white folks roast black folks alive they do not like. When they begin to eat the black folks they roast alive the white folks of the South will have got the thing down to an economic basis that might reduce the high price of meat. Unless they kidnap Jack Johnson they are not likely to have the opportunity of roasting him. The desire to eat and the desire to kill and roast something go together and are seldom separate. Col. Roosevelt is never so happy as when he has a convention on his hands. He had another of the Bull Moose at Chicago last week and a flood of words. The newspapers are beginning to protest against Col. Roosevelt's convention habit and floods of words, soldon less than seven thousand long, which they have hereforeloft obligated to print as part of the news of the day. We are free to confess that Col. Roosevelt is not only a house of ideas, some of them new and rare, but a house of words with which to clothes his ideas. Happy is the man who knows how to finish his talk at the proper time and finish it down. have the and needs of their mays at best. People of these mays and much and with much of their mays and much and with much of their expaymays, scattered in the various counties of the State, qualified voters, could do a great deal to better their local conditions by voting for the best men offering themselves for county and legislative offices, and make friends with the best disposed citizens while doing so. Mr. Callier also advises the Negroes of Georgia to stop selling their property and moving to other states. He notifies them that they can better their condition by doing so. They should make the most of their opportunities in the localities where they are. The advice is good. In a lecture recently in Cleveland Senator James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, in discussing "The Black Peril," advocated the repeal of the fifteenth amendment and the formation of a Federal Commission to handle "the Negro problem in the South." The Cleveland Gazette hits the enemy squarely in the face when it says: "What is really needed is a commission of some kind, that will place a bridle on the mouths of such southern blatherskites as Vardaman, Tillman, Dixon, Heflin and their stripe. We often wonder if our people have any real good idea as to how many harmful these men are, when lecturing in this section of the country." Oh, yes; they know very well how harmful it is all but what can they do to prevent it? The Northern and Western deprived public opinion that craves and pugs for such stuff is not controlled and cannot easily be reached by "our people," who have not a very long arm or a very high hand. THE NEGRO IN MEDICINE Dr. John A. Kenney, Medical Director of Tukeerce Institute, and president of the National Medical Association, has brought together and published a large amount of valuable information on counting Negro patients in hospitals and nursing schools for Negroes. It is published in neat pamphlet form, under the title of "The Negro in Medicine." Beginning with James Derham in the eighteenth century, the first Negro physician, and one of the most noted Negro physicians, was Dr. K. McDonnall, and ending with the most noted Negro physician of to-day, biographical sketches are given of Negro physicians of the past and present. Of special local interest are the references to Dr. J. McCune Smith, Dr. D. K. McDonnall, Peter W. Ray, who was deeply idealized with the history of New York City. One section of the booklet is devoted to a discussion of medical schools for Neermann, Howard University School of Medicine, and Johns Hopkins University. I learned high grades. I learned Medical Department of Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C. has graduated 333 physicians and 85 pharmacists and Moharry Medical College Nashville, Tennessee has graduated 74 pharmacists and 37 nurses. Ninety-five per cent of these physicians are now practicing. Another section of the booklet is devoted to a discussion of medical and training schools. The pamphlet class with a discussion of health problems of the Negro in the United States, Dr. Kenney, who has for eight years received a doctorate, and for the past four years managing editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association, has had exceptional opportunities for authoring the information in this booklet. It is well illustrated with pictures of physicians, their homes, and of hospitals. The price is fifty cents. I read The Ake with so much pleasure and many times with much anxiety. It strikes so near to the heart of the things which make for real journey. Sincerely, THOMAS WALLACE SWANN. Chicago, Ill. Your issue of November 21 was full of interest to me owing to the fact that you are advocating business among the colored people and less political agitation. Your clear conception of President Drift's attitude of concern for South Africa and the increase of Negro criminals accumulating at the North and especially your index under the heading "The Future." We can never be a people demanding respect of other people until we become a business-promoting people. All nations and races of people are subject to the same worth and activity. The color of their skin, curl of the hair, beauty of stature, favor of religion have little or no bearing in common. Thousands of Negroes, educated and ignorant, have migrated from the sunshine of the South to the North in quest of social intermingling of races with no thought of equality of business ambitions and prowess of accomplishments, absolutely necessary at the North. Hence the criminal record you report. Race prejudice is the imposition of the life of any of people. Without such and such respect would cease to be. In this I do not mean savage barbarity. When one race of people are growing with self-esteem and another race interspersed existing with no concentration of independence but wholly submissive to humile, indiscriminate servitude and beggary. Yet clamorous and repugnant there is nothing but rebuff on the part of the dominant race. The Negro of the South is gaining prestige and civic advancement, while the Negro of the North seems to be retrogradating. You of the North are concerned about social intermingling while we of the South are promoting self-reliance and race segregation which avoids race contact and promotes business opportunity with less odds of competition. As a result of slavery there is more real prejudice of a detrimental nature between the Negroes themselves than between the Southern whites and the Negroes. This of course will vanish with education and leadership of the proper kind both of which time will bring. Lynching is the child of ignorance and equally chargeable to all concerned. The floating Negro is no example of the standard of the race. He is here and he is there; all told he is nowhere. There he is, and there he is building the record of the race you will have to make from a door to door and farm to farm drive to find them. They do not appear in public print, with but in private. They flag, blowing no horn, beating no drum, but marching with a silent, steady tread to worth and wealth. Respectfully, A. BILLINGSLEA, Savannah, Ga. Mike Marcel will answer through this column questions of interest to women. Address her in care of THE AIR. HERE AND THERE. "Behold, we bring you glad tidings of great joy. In Bethelhem of Judea in born this day a King who shall redemen His people. When suddenly there was with the angels a multitude of the Heavenly host praising God, and saying: 'On earth peace, good will toward men.'" Do you want to enjoy Christmas in feeling and spirit? Then make the day brighter and happier for someone less fortunate, than yourself. Seek out the aged, the sick and destitute, and the little ones—for whom the festival is really intended. I am sure the orphan asylums would be glad of your help, and don't forget the tots of Hope Day Nursery at 114 West One Hundred and Thirty-third street. There are fifteen children at the Union Rescue Home Mission, 64 East One Hundred and Thirty-third street, who make appeal for your bounty. This home provides a refuge for destitute colored women with their children, but is little known except among those who have need of its help. It is maintained through the efforts of a few consecrated women. None of them is well off in this world's goods, but they take it as a matter of course to share with the homeless and friendless who call upon them. After providing the bare necessities there is nothing left for Christmas merrymaking, so here is a chance for a practical demonstration of God's love for the Christ child, whom coming made possible the celebration, and whose later uttered words ring down the ages. "Immam as ye have done it unto one of the heart of those, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." I notice that, some of the creme de la crème of Washington society, in meeting assembled, solemnly deliberated as to whether we should be called "colored folk" or "Negroes." It was a grave oversight that they failed to assure us just as solemnly that "there is nothing in a name unless we put something to it." Therefore, if "Choc-taw" be our appellation, what does it matter? We can dignify it or degrade it; that rests with the individual. HOT SPRINGS, VA Hor SPRINGS, Va., Dec. 17,—J. E.

He addressed the conductor, who could not understand him, and, in turn, everyone in the car except one man—colored—who was deliberately passed. The foreigner could not understand nor be understood, and he was plainly distressed. The colored man had divined his nationality and thought to teach him a lesson, so he spoke to him in his native tongue. The man was in turn bewildered and incredulous, and finally he looked as happy as if he had found a long-lost brother. He profusely apologized for his behavior, and sail he had been told that Negroes were very ignorant and, in truth, just the scum of the earth, except Booker T. W. Washington, and he just naturally concluded the colored man couldn't help him. The two conversed together for some time on different subjects and the upshot of the matter was the foreigner—who had been here on a visit—invited the colored man to visit him should he come to Europe, for which country he was then preparing to sail.

Gene Perry to determine the victors in the competitive games of love and basketball, all of which helped to make up the two-act musical force, "Who Wins?" which was produced by the Amethyst Club. But the principal winner of the coming was the play itself, which, to use the language of the turf, "tame into the stretch pulled up," with the performers perched upon its back. Talking into consideration that "Who Wins?" was presented by amateur stage folk, even the most critical who witnessed the show will have to be charitable enough to admit that the youthful thespians gave an exhilarating performance—one which redoubles move to their credit than discarded. True, some of the numbers were a bit ragged in spots, but the comparison taught the amateurs a lesson—that rehearsals, not one or two, but many of them, are absolutely necessary to ensure a smooth performance. Even professional actors must spend much time in preparation. So Thursday evening one could readily determine the numbers with which the actors were on greatest terms of intimacy. The book and lyrics of "Who Winn" were written by R. E. McPherson. Edward H. Ramson compiled the music Jesse A. Shipp, the race's most prominent stage director, staged the numbers. In "Who Winn", Mr. McPherson has not been compelled to overstate his imagination to get atmosphere and material, having happily taken his characters from the younger set in Harlem. The characters therefore ring true, and the life and custom of the better element of colored people are portrayed, rather than the low types we are oftens compelled to see much in our chinim. There are some lively numbers in this show, also some melodies once, and some were made more enjoyable by the "business" used by Mr. Shipp in staging them. One member of the cast bore the stamp of professionism—Miss Blanche Dean, who not only phone forth in her vocal efforts, but had plenty of lines behind the footlights. Miss Dean first song—"In the Game of Life," won the approbation of her auditors, who were not selfish with their applause and insisted that she give them some more. Miss Dean, who capped the role of Mildred Weston, has quite a bright future in the ranks of professional actors. Although Miss Deas was the only professional in the lot, there were a number of young ladies in the show who impressed as being "wear professionals," even if they have never been on the stage. For instance, there was Grayon Loe Cook, who sang and danced "Tennessee" with more fervor and agility than many who appear behind the footlights for bread and butter's sake. She seems to be quite an apt pupil of ragtime, and rumor has it she was engaged by Aida Overton Walker to go with an act directly after Thursday evening's performance. Bessie Perkinson, as Derva Dune, had the leading female role, and she is another who could get a job as a real actor lady if she wanted to. Miss Perkinson led quite a strenuous existence, as she had several songs to sing, appeared in all the principal scenes and changed her active with as much frequency as a vanderville artist doing a single turn. Mine. Linda Robinson-Jones aided in making the performance a success as Mine. Richard, and she pleasingly sang "Good-bye, Dream." In commenting on the "near professionalism" in "Who Wants?" I would be guilty of spite work if I did not refer to two little folks—Vanessa Brodie and Rosie Singleton—who romped about the stage, sang, and talked as if at home in the dining room. All crowds took alibe to this precaution pair. Harlem also has some good dramatic talent in its young men. Andrew Bluth and Became Wright played the parts of lovers as if it was perfectly natural for them to distribute sweet, mainly talk. Lonny Archer possesses histrionic talent well worth while developing, and G. Ed. Brown, M. L. Fryer, Lonny Archer, William Linton and Frank Thomas did commendable work. Casio Norwood, Hartnell's most promising amateur coupon, was manning, but a little incorrigible button robed him of the honor of springing the biggest length of the evening. It was not in the book. I do not mean the button, but the image. The button was on the trousers worn by Rosie Singleton, who was playing the part of a boy. In her whirlwind motion about the stage, the mean little button ran away from its buttonhole, and as a result the trousers worn by Rosie started to desert her. Fortunately the scented danger just in the nick of time, preventing a catastrophe. Among the songs showing that the chorus had given some attention to preparation were "Pa and Ma," by Vandie Brodie and Rosie Singleton; "Tennessee," by Grayce Cook; "My Firefly," by Kelia Scottron, and "Harlem Rag," by Blanche Deas. In the chorus were Grace Fowler, Eva Miller, Beatrice Garrett, Carrie Lander, Nellie Caldwell, Ruth Foster, Nellie Baldwin, Gladys Harrison, Magnolia Macon, Beaulah Conyers, Jane Lavantore, Milred Gussoway, Ethel Lavantore, Dunter Miller, Henry Taylor, Hutchins Bishop, W. Scott, William Sumner, Harold Parker, Dunnell Smith and Lauritz Berry. women all over the United States, for they have a mission to perform in the future that will be of insignificant value to the cause. True, the demand for col- lected chimpanzee is not great at this time, but when the clouds roll away and the outbreak is brighter for colored actors it will be those who not only have educated voices and feet, but who also possess educated brains, who will be given preference.

To the Sporting Editor of The Age: In answer to Dean Brawley's query in a recent issue of The Age concerning the right of Howard, Lincoln and Hampton to claim the championship, I take his opportunity to reply to his question. The writer of this article has lived in the South the greater part of his life, and he is very well acquainted with the ability of the Southern football teams, so he writes this article not from a bliss standpoint, but as one who has closely followed football both in the North and the South. Howard has claimed the colored championship for the last four years by virtue of her unbroken string of victories over Lincoln, Hampton, Shaw, Union, Livingston, Annapolis and Tuskegee. These teams comprise the strongest colored teams in this country, and all of them have been defeated in a clear cut and decisive way by Old Howard. There is at Atlanta Baptist College in Athens with a good team, but the first year Howard defeated Tuskegee 18-0. Tuskegee had played a scoreless tie with A. B. C. The next time Howard played Tuskegee, her team was the undisputed champion of the South, and Howard played all over her and defeated her 22-0. Now, if Howard has not a fair chance or a just right to claim the championship, I would like to ask Dean Brawley what is the right way to claim a championship? Harvard claimed the championship this year not by winning from all the white colleges in the country but by virtue of her unbroken string of victories over Harvard and the East. Howard has had the same record, if not a better record, than Harvard, why can't she claim the championship? The good football teams, both white and colored in the South, have never been able to compare favorably with the teams in the North and East. While A. B. C. has a very good team in the South, a team so good as to win over all of her rivals in her part of the country, her teams and her rivals are vastly inferior to the teams in the East. Now, if Dean Browley takes issue with the veracity of this article, I would like to suggest to him that Howard is open to any date this year or any other year to defend her title which she has rightly won for the last four years against the ambitious youths from Georgia. Thanking you very much in advance for publishing this article, I am, Yours truly, CHAS. T. LUNFORD, Ex-Athletic Editor of Howard Univ. Journal. Smart Set Defeats Wicomas.

United Colored Vaudeville Exchange Managers, Beware! Of the Male Member of the Team of Lewis and Lewis, Whose Cuts Appear Herewith JOHN H. HARRIS About four months ago I booked above act. Wired tickets ten days before time to open, also wired instructions about where to get tickets, etc., with privilege to wire at MY EXPENSE anything that might occur to prevent him being on time. Act was to open on Monday; four days before Monday Lewis wired, "Be there Saturday." Act did not get in Saturday. Monday came and act did not get in. Wired Lewis. "What is wrong?" Got no answer. Three days after time to open a certain Mr. White came in on one of my tickets and said Lewis told him to tell me that his wife was sick. Three days later got wire from Lewis, "Tried to get team to take my place, could not do so, will come alone now." Waited several days, Lewis failed to appear. Wired him to send me my tickets, as same was void day after date of issue. Also had refund on ticket stopped. Later wrote him at his last address, also in care of The Freeman; both letters were delivered, as my return address was on both envelopes. I have waited all this time in order to give Lewis good time to square himself. I have not heard one word from him since last telegram above referred to. Am always willing to send tickets when necessary to good legitimate acts, but won't stand such actions as above. Am running this ad, in the interest of managers and the profession generally. This ad. has cost me several times the value of the tickets already and I shall spend several times more. I shall run it in every colored paper of any value in the United States to show this fellow up. Ticket is worth just so much blank paper to Lewis; to me it is worth face value. It would cost Lewis just 2 cents to send same to me. Papers having a circulation among managers and performers in the South send copy and rates.
