VOL. XXVI. No. 29. DEMOCRATS ARE WAITING,WAITING Political Plums Under New Administration for Negroes Slow in Falling Before March 4 Democrats Were Picking Out Their Jobs. But Things Are So Different Now "BOB" SMALLS IS OUSTED Removed on Collector at Bendort, S.C. First Negro Officeholder in the South to Love Position. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—March 4, 1913, has come and gone. So has April 4, 1913. We are now rapidly wending our way toward May 4, 1913; but as yet President Wilson has not made glad the hearts of the Negro Democrats. Before Wilson was inaugurated President each colored Democrat could be found industriously engaged in picking out the particular job he intended to fill. Now there has been a decided change in their movements, and instead of exhibiting a preference for any particular position the attitude has been that any old job during the Wilson administration is good enough for me. Since Fred R. Moore resigned as minister to Liberia the President has given this post consideration and has decided to send a Negro to Africa. He is also made it known to the Washington correspondents that he has decided to appoint Negro to office there is opposition on account of their order. The newspaper correspondents sent on the following relative to President Wilson's views on the appointment of Negroes to office: President Wilson has no intention of facing a race problem as a result of patronage appointments. He has decided not to appoint Negroes to any posts where opposition to their appointment is based on racial grounds. There are places of course, such as the Ministership to Haiti and Liberia, which the President recognizes can best be filled by Negroes. Among those who do not feel cheerful over the position taken by President Wilson are the colored Democrats in New York City who aspire to succeed Charles W. Anderson as Collector of Internal Revenue. This representative position is being eagerly sought by white Democrats. Therefore, if such a condition exists the attitude assumed by President Wilson will make it impossible for him to appoint a Negro to the collectorship. Senator O'Gorman, although friendly toward the Negro, is said to favor a white man to succeed Collector Anderson, in the event that a change is made. Outside of the ministership to Haiti and Liberia President Wilson has not signified his intention of appointing Negroes to office. It is said that there are many Southern white Democrats who would be willing to temporarily forget their color prejudice and go to Haiti and Liberia if the opportunity presents itself. Of the Negroes who are applicants for the Haitian mission, Rufus P. Perry, a Brooklyn lawyer, is said to have the best chance. The first Negro in the South to lose his job is Maj. Gen. "Bob" Smalls. It is said that other colored officeholders in the South will be able to devote their time and attention to other business pursuits before duck suits make their appearance. "Bob" Smalls has been Collector of the Port at Beaufort for twenty years, from 1875 to 1894, and from 1898 until now. He was a member of Congress for twelve years, and during the reconstruction period was the leader of the Negro party in the State, serving as a member of the Constitutional Convention following the war and in both houses of the Legislature. He was also a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1895. As a slave he was wheeler and pilot of the confederate steamer Planez, and one night while the officers were asleep uptown he and nine Negro members of the crew ran away with her and gave her up to the Union forces. He got his military title in the South Carolina militia. "Bob" Smalla has been a member of nearve every Republican National Convention since the war. In the Florida Legislature a resolution has been introduced, requesting President Wilson to remove "Joe" Lee as Collector of Internal Revenue in Jacksonville, Fla., and that a white man be named as his commissioner. Memorial services in honor of the late Harriet Hubman were held in St. James Presbyterian Church, April 10, under the auspices of the Harriet Tubism Neighborhood Club of New York and other clubs. Despite the inclementy of the weather, a representative audience was present. After a few eloquent remarks by the president, Miss Marie Jackson Stuart, the following program was presented: Staging, "Neuer My God to Thee," congregation. Invocation, John S. E.

ADVANCED STUDIES WILL BE TAUGHT Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. BALTIMORE, Md., April 15.—An unfavorable report on changing the curriculum of the Colored High School was read and approved at last week's meeting of the School Board, which means that the plan of Commissioner Biggs to exclude' languages and other advanced studies to Negro students will not be adopted. The Negro citizens vigorously opposed the Biggs proposition, and succeeded in convincing the members' of the board that much harm would come of any movement tending to introduce industrial education in the Colored High School to the exclusion of advanced studies. Councilman Harry S. Cummings, who led the fight against the adoption of the Biggs' resolution, stated to THE ACE correspondent that had the proposed change been made it would have resulted: First.—In depriving our young men and women of a high school course, the only means of preparation for positions as teachers in our colored schools. Second. Without this course there would have been no incentive, to our young men and women who aspire to be teachers. Third. Without colored teachers trained as such and able to fill the growing demand, white teachers would have been employed and as the long settled policy here is against mixed teachers, the four or five hundred colored teachers now drawing thousands of dollars from the city in salaries ranging from $2,400 to $500 per annum would have been forced out. NEBRASKA IN DISGRACE SURVIVED THE NEW YORK AGE Lincoln, Neb., April 15.—Governor Moorehead approved Saturday night the bill passed by the Legislature which prohibits the marriage of a white and any person who has an eighth or more of Japanese, Chinese, or Negro blood. The bill originally included Indians; but that was struck out. REV. A. CLAYTON POWELL, D.D. Abyssinian Baptist Church Has Property Valued at $300,000 Preparing to Celebrate 105th Anniversary of the Church in November—List of Various Anniversaries. Baptist Church, the second oldest Negro Baptist church north of the Mason and Dixon line, is now located at 242-246 West 40th street. with church property valued by the tax assessors at $167,000, and with other properties totaling a value of more than $300,000, making it the wealthiest Negro Baptist church in the world. The properties, besides the church building and site, consists of two new law apartment houses located at 9-11 West 99th street. near Central Park, with thirty-four apartments and four stores, a fireproof building, with all modern improvements; an apartment house at 240 West 40th street, next to the church, with ten apartments and one store; and the private house at oI West 134th street. leased at present to a Catholic sisterhood for the purpose of conducting a school, of which the Rev Father O'Keefe is the head. Model Tenements for Members. It is stated by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, the present pastor, that these properties were not acquired primarily for the purpose of pecuniary profit to the church, but that model tenements might be provided for decent and respectable Negro families. No disreputable tenants are allowed to rent these apartments, and families are required to respect and consider the rights of others in the house. One of the most stringent rules is that no beer pails are allowed to be brought into any of the apartments owned by the church. Notwithstanding the claim advanced by some that Negroes will not appreciate the opportunity to live in apartments of this character and will not rent them. Dr. Powell says that at the present time only two apartments are vacant in the 99th street houses and none in the 40th street house. So far no income has been derived from these properties that could be turned into the church treasury. The rentals are being devoted to the payment of the mortgages which hold against the property, amounting to $133,000. Rents are total about 17,000 yearly, and it is estimated that in ten years' time the properties will be clear and the income will support all the benevolent works of the church. The interests of the church in the handling of the properties is looked after by Nail & Parker, real estate agents, and a commendable feature in this connection is that all the plumbing work, amounting to several thousand dollars yearly, is done by a Negra plumber, Peter Banks, a member of Abysinian Church. Church Established in 1808. The one hundred and fifth anniversary of Abyssinian Church will be celebrated next November. During these years the church has grown from a few members in 1808 to more than twenty-five hundred members in 1913. The membership has increased since 1908, when centennial services were held, and the Rev. Dr. Powell called to the pastorate, from 1600 to its present membership, or an increase of nearly one thousand members in a little less than five years. Fifteen ministers, including Dr. Powell, have occupied the pulpit as pastor during the life of this church.

One of carried on by the Vacation Inventory sible in these set by the illegal contributions of philistriptic white friends who provided the necessary funds for instructors in rafaa work, sewing, chair-cleaning, lectures on housekeeping, singing, hammock making, Bible study and a special superintendent to control the conduct and deportment of the children in school and on the streets. That the work done in this vacation school is resultful is shown by the fact that some time ago at an exhibit of the work done by the vacationtraining schools of the city, placed on view at Wanamaker's the one Newro school, that at Abyssinian Church, in competition with upward of fifty white schools, was awarded the first prize of $30 and photos of the pupils were published in a number of the daily papers. Several benevolent enterprises not connected with the church are contributed to regularly each year. The institutions in New York City which receive this regular support from the church are the Lincoln Home and Hospital, New York Bible Society, New York Baptist City Mission, Baptist Home Mission Society and Howard Colored Orphan Asylum. Institutions outside of New York City receiving yearly contributions are Virginia Union University, Richmond, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural Institute, Downingtown, Pa. National Baptist Training School, Washington, D. C., and the Foreign Mission Society, Philadelphia. The afternoon services last Sunday were held in Young's Casino, and were for the purpose of raising the annual donation to Downingtown School. Dr. W. A. Credit, president, was present. Abyssinian Church is next to the largest contributor to the Foreign Mission Society work among the Negro Baptist churches of the country. Every Sunday in the year an after collection is raised for this purpose totaling several hundred dollars. Contributions are also made each year to the work of the American Baptist Publication Society, Philadelphia. A number of auxiliaries are maintained in connection with the church work, but unlike most churches the plan of the present administration of Abyssinian Church is to make the auxiliaries helpful to the general public in a benevolent way. The deacon board, has charge of the distribution of funds for the relief of aged and indigent members. Seventeen members are on their list for regular monthly support, ranging from $2 to $5, or even $10, if found necessary. Applications for help from others are attended to as received and aid given if applicants are found worthy. Three collections monthly, are taken for this MORMONS MISREPRESENTED Educator Libraries Persecution of Mormons to That of Negro—Worst of Mormons Life is Advertised. For a long while I have been anxious to get right into the midst of the Mormons to see what kind of people they are, what they look like, what they are doing, and in what respect they are succeeding. I have been spending two of the busiest days that I have ever spent in my life in the very midst of these people. They have been mighty interesting days, and I have seen some mighty interesting people. The leaders of the Mormon church from President Smith down have gone out of their way to show me kindnesses and to make my trip here successful. I am not going to discuss the Mormon religion as I am not a theologian; I shall have to leave that to others. I am always interested in studying and observing people regardless of their religion. One of the Mormon bishops called to see me and from him I got some mighty interesting information that ought to prove of value to our race. In speaking of the Mormons, my readers must remember that it was only sixty-six years ago that, led by Brigham Young, 150 people came into this country when it was a wilderness. They traveled in ox carts over a thousand miles from the Missouri River. The Mormon church itself was organized in New York State only eighty-four years ago. From 150 people, hardy pioneers who entered Utah sixty-six years ago, the number has grown year by year until in Utah there are now over three hundred Mormons, and they have particularly made a name for themselves as a rose. I have never been among a more intelligent, healthy, clean, progressive, moral set of people than these people are. All through Utah they have turned the desert into gardens and orchards. Whatever one finds a Mormon colony there he finds evidence of hard work and wealth. Intercating Talks with Mormon Leaders The Mormon leaders here told me in detail about the policy that they pursued when they first came here, and here is a great lesson for our people in the South and throughout this country. From the first the Mormons consistently and persistently pursued the policy of having their people get hold of land, to settle on the soil and become farmers. They knew that if they once got possession of the soil and taught their people how to become successful farmers that they would be laying the foundation so secure that they could not be disturbed. Several of the leaders told me that when they first came into this country that there was great temptation to exploit the gold, silver and copper mines, but they would not let their people do this, but held them to the soil. It is only within the last few years that the Mormons have begun to get wealth out of the mineral resources of the country, notwithstanding they have known all along that this wealth existed. Now that they are in possession of the soil and have taught their people how to become successful farmers they say they can afford to go into mining. There are two parallels between the Necro and the Mormons. First as my readers already know, the Mormons were most inhumally persecuted almost from the first organization of their church. This was especially true in Missouri and Illinois. Hundreds of their followers were put to death. The courts gave them little protection. The mob that either killed or wounded the Mormons was seldom. If ever, punished. They were an easy mark for any inhuman brute who wanted to either kill or wound them. Joseph Smith himself, the founder of the church, was murdered in Illinois. But out of this inhuman and unjust treatment grew the strength of these people. The more they were punished the more determined they became to succeed. Without opposition and injustice. I question whether the Mormon church could now be in its present flourishing condition. They were deprived of their property as well as their lives in their early years, but the more they were persecuted the closer they handed themselves together and the more determined they were to succeed. Persecutions advertised this little sect to the world. The result was that through persecution their numbers increased instead of being diminished. (Continued on Page 2) RAISED $206,910.17 Amount Collected in Dollar Money by A. M. E. Church for Fiscal Year— First Annual Board Meeting with Parks Presiding—Report of John R. Hawkins. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. WASHINGTON, April 16.—According to reports made at the annual meeting of the financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to-day (Wednesday), the denomination raised in dollar money collections $206,910.17 for the fiscal year which ended March 31. The report was the first to be presented by John R. Hawkins, the present financial secretary of the denomination. This sum does not include the thousands of dollars raised for the running of the various churches of the denomination, nor that raised in the special collections for general church purposes. Of the money raised during the year, eight per cent., $16,552.91, was turned over to the missionary department; a similar sum to both the educational and church extension departments of the denomination: 36 per cent., $74,437.66, retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows and orphans, and the remaining 40 per cent., $82,764.81, used for the payment of the salaries of the bishops, general officers and other denominational needs. Bishop H. B. Parks, who presided, and the other members of the board congratulated Mr. Hawkins for the business-like manner with which he is conducting the affairs of the office. He is the first layman to hold the position and was elected in May, 1913, succeeding the Rev. John Hurst, who was elevated to the bishopric. He has been an active worker in his denomination for thirty years. Resolutions of condolence and of praise for the life and services of Bishop William B. Derrick, who died at his home in Flushing, New York, Tuesday, April 15, were adopted by the board. The present financial board of the denomination is composed of the following gentlemen: Bishop H. R. Parks, chairman; C. H. Murray, Catonsville, Md.; J. M. Gilmert, Cleveland, O.; J. C. Anderson, Louisville, Ky.; J. R. Ranson, Topeka, Kan.; E. F. Singleton, Sayannah, Ga.; R. W. Mance, Beaufort, S. C.; W. T. Strong, Vicksburg, Miss.; G. B. West, Montgomery, Ala.; E. J. Howard, Houston, Tex.; J. R. Stark, Tulaham, Fla.; V. M. Townsend, Arkadelphia, Ashe; George W. Willett, Chattanooga; F. M. Gow, South Africa; C. E. Allen, Detroit, Mich. After three months' sickness, Bishop William B. Derrick, of the A. M. E. Chureh, died Tuesday morning, April 15, at 10.45 o'clock, at his home, Bishop's Court. State street, Flushing, L. I., in his 70th year. Present in the death chamber were his wife, two daughters, Misses Minneapolis and Lillian, Mrs. Charles Neal and Mrs. Emil Mason, of Philadelphia, friends of the family, and the attendant physician, Dr. Dick, of Flushing. About three months ago Bishop Derrick attended the funeral of a dear friend in Philadelphia and contracted cold. Complications set in and arterio sclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, set in. Everything that medical skill and loving attention could devise was done to counteract the disease. A few weeks ago the eminent surgeon, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, of Chicago, was called to Flushing for a consultation with Dr. Dick. It was evident then that the eminent prelate had but a few weeks of life. A few days later temporary relief was given the patient by a blood-letting operation performed by Dr. Dick. The final relapse came Monday night about 9 o'clock. The physician was sent for but the Bishop was beyond human aid. He lingered until Tuesday morning, when he quietly and peacefully breathed his last. One of the last wishes of the Bishop was that he might look upon the face of the Rev Wm. H. H. Butler, a dear friend, before he died. Mr. Butler rang the doorbell just as the Bishop breathed his last. Present in the house at the same time was Bernard Taylor, grayhaired and stoopshouldered, for fifty-two years a friend of Bishop Derrick. When President Lincoln, sent out his first call for troops they enlisted together in the United States Navy from Boston and at the battle of Hampton Roads they stood side by side upon the deck of the grounded frigate "Minnesota" when she was shelled by the Confederate ironclad "Merrimac." Bishop Derrick was born on the island of Antigua. British West Indies, in July, 1843. His father was a Scotchman and his mother a West Indian. They were of the planters class and very religious. Antigua, on account of its schools and compulsory educational law, is known as Gov. Salzar Approves of Meaure Introduced by Assembliyman Levy Bill Provides that no Person Shall Be Kept Out of a Place of Public Resort on Account of Color A Sign That a Person is Unwelcome Will Be Considered a Violation of Statute — Can Bring Criminal and Civil Suits. ALBANY, N. Y., April 15.—Last Saturday Gov. Sulzer signed the Levy bill which amends the law relating to equal rights in places of public accommodation, resort or amusement. Gov. Sulzer, who approved of the introduction of the bill before it was presented to the legislators for consideration, says that it makes more stringent provisions against discrimination on account of race, creed or color in places of public resort. The bill as amended provides that no person who is the owner, lessee or manager of a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement shall deny any person accommodations, or publish, circulate, display or post or mail any printed communication or advertisement to the effect that any of the accommodations or privileges of any such place shall be refused or the mail to any person on account of the credit or color, or the same people are unwelcome. The production of such notice is presumptive evidence in any civil or criminal action that this notice was authorized. A place of public accommodation, resort or amusement within the meaning of this article, the bill continues, shall be deemed to include any inn, tavern or hotel, whether conducted for the entertainment of transient guests or for the accommodation of those seeking health, recreation or rest, and any restaurant, eating house, public conveyance on land or water, bathhouse, barber shop, theatre and music hall. Any person violating this section whether or not the reasons for denying such rights of accommodations are applicable alike to all citizens of every race, creed or color, shall be liable to a penalty of not less than $100, nor more than $500, to be recovered by the person aggrieved and in addition shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $100, or more than $500, or by imprisonment for not less than 30 days, or more than ninety days, or by both fine and imprisonment.

The Negro is suffering to-day just as the Mormons are suffering and have suffered, because people from the outside have advertised the worst in connection with Mormon life and they have seldom called attention to the best in connection with the life of the Mormons. And they have learned, too, that no person outside a race or outside a group of people can ever really know that race or that group of people until he gets into their homes and has a chance to observe their men and women and their children, has a chance to partake of their hospitality and get into their inner life. There are many people today who consider themselves wise on the condition of the Negro, who are really afraid to go into a Negro home, who never go into a Negro church or Sunday School, who have never met the colored people in any social circle; hence in people know little about the moral standards and activities of the colored people. The same, I am convinced, is true regarding the Mormons. The people who speak in the most disrespectful of these people are the ones who least about them. I have conceived that the Mormons are an immoral people. No immoral people could have such strong, fine bodies as these people, nor such vigorous and alert minds as they. It has been my privilege to address schools and universities in nearly every part of America, and I say without hesitation that I have never addressed a college anywhere where the students were more alert, more responsive, more intelligent than is true of the students in these Mormon colleges. I was hardly prepared for the over-generous and rapturous reception that was given me at the State University, the students of which for the most part are Mormons, and I had the same experience in addressing the private schools and other institutions conducted by Mormons. Meets a Daughter of Joseph Smith. I met, for example, one of the daughters of Joseph H. Smith, the successor to Brigham Young and now the head of the church. I was told that she was one of forty-nine children, but she was an intelligent, modest, fine young woman with a strong body and an alert mind. I was told that the other forty-eight children were just as healthy and strong and alert as she. Just how many wives President Joseph H. Smith has or had I do not know. I am not going into the subject of plural wives, but I am simply stating facts and giving my impressions. These Mormons have first class schools of every character, and they are pushing the matter of technical and industrial education to a stronger degree than we are in the South among the colored people. In fact, time and time again I was told that they heard him teach us the most part of the kingdom. Tuskegee and similar institutions I was nearly taken off my feet when I went into a class in the university and the teacher showed me a large piece postboard with the pictures of our students at Tuskegee at work in the various industrial departments. They said the shily, said the chamola bag containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Treuble began as of old; my husband was fretful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything, as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

The Mormons have recently begun a systematic effort to give their young people training in gymnastics with a view of strengthening their bodies. Here again the colored people, especially in the schools of the South, can learn a great lesson. Everywhere in our colored schools we ought to have systematic and constant training in gymnastics. There are about a thousand colored people in Salt Lake City, and they are above the average in intelligence and in other respects. The colored woman especially strike me as exceptionally intelligent, more so, I think, than the men. They have here an Art and Music Club which I had the privilege of addressing, composed of very intelligent women. They have two good churches with very intelligent ministers. The main weakness in the life of the colored people in this city, as in some others I have gone to, grows out of the fact that instead of having a commercial organization to promote business and industrial interests of the colored people they have a club house for which I am told they pay a rental of $150 a month, where the men are encouraged to drink and gamble. It seems that they cannot throw away their money fast enough, but in order to help it along they rent a house for $150 a month for the purpose of helping them to dispose with their money faster. I have spoken to them plainly about this mistake, and I believe that a change for the better will take place. I met several colored men who have accumulated a respectable fortune and who are in good business enterprises. I think it will interest my readers to know that there are colored Mormons in Utah. I met several of these. Many of them came here in the old days, in foot Brigham Young brought colored people with him to this country, and they or their descendants have remained. Of course in the old days plural wives were not prohibited by law, but I have made careful inquiry and could find no case where a colored man ever had more than one wife. It seems to have been the custom in the old days that a man could not take a second or third or fourth wife without the consent of his first wife, and I was told that no colored woman in Utah would ever give her consent for her husband to take a second wife. I met one colored man who came out here in the early days who is now 82 years of age. He is a stanch Mormon, and neither the Baptist church nor the Methodist church can get hold of him. He came here from Mississippi. He is a fine looking old fellow, a kind of colored Brigham Young. He has a farm worth $25,000, and lives in the midst of a Mormon colored colony of which he is the leader. I am told that the Mormon church treats the colored people well. I will, in my next letter, discuss the Mormons further, and call attention to their creed, and so forth.

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.

President Wilson continues to smash @ray-beaded precedents, ‘at Washington —the White House, the Congress and the Departments. He has the Demo- eratic Kmucke-closers on the anxious eat; shey do mot know what to expect * ext, and they are unhappy over what es happened. Our interest in the sita- ation is.two-fold: We are gratified at aay policy, that rattles the dry bones of, Democratic gpiniin a, it has boom ‘Mtmaded down cat of the past, the domi- ‘‘etliag, characteristic of which is that “Me fengets nothing worth remembering sed remembers nothing worth forget- ting—a policy that embodies the mon- strous thing with its face turned to- ward the future and its cyes toward the past that has always retarded the Progress or destroyed the hope of the mation for better and higher conditions of govermmest and of living. On the, other hand, we hope for better things owt of any policy that breaks away from ‘the errors in tradition, even if it leads Beek to first principles, which are in- @ariably-the simplicity of thought, of | cendect and of mechanism. President Wilson's latest shock t6 tradition: was to read his message to Congress, sitting as a joint body, April & As an introduction he said: “I am very glad, ‘indeed, to have this oppor- tunity to address the two Houses di- rectly and to verify for myself the im- pression that the Presidest of the United States is a person, not a mere department of the Government hailing Congress from some istand of jealous power; scming messages, not speaking meturally and with his own voice—that ber is a been being, trying to co-oper- ate with other hasan beings in a com- quem service. After this pleasamt cx- perience I shall feel quite normal in att gar dealings with one another.” Very refrestiing, indeed; but the ‘pleasare was all the President's: the two Houses were shocked as by a live electric cur- pent. It has been 112 years since a President faced.and addressed the two Houses. We think it is the correct amd proper thing for him to do, President Wilsom threatens to go into Congress districts and tell their consti- geewts all’ shout it if the Democratic Congressmen antagonize his tariff and other policies promised the peopte by the Democratic platform adopted # Balti- more.

We shall be on surer ground as to the attitude of President Wilson-when be-inakes some word o¢_sign from the White House as to Negro appointmemts and office tenures. We do not ex- pect him to bow to the dictation of the Florida Legislature, which is the semtiment of the legislatures of all of the Southern States, but, it is for him to give the word, the sign, that will determine the matter. He has the courage to. give it; we know that; and he owes it to him- self and the nation to do so at the earliest convenient time. We believe the nation is weary of the Negro question and of the Southern Democratic blatherskite of the demagogue strife of Senator Vardaman, Senator Tillman and Senator Hoke’ Smith, and of Repre- sentatives Hefftin and Hardwick; we believe it was their purpose at the last election to vote both nuisances out of national politics by pre- ferring President Wilson to Col. Roosevelt or President Taft. We: believe thé nation will be greatly disappointed, as we shall be, if he does not sit down so hard on the Negro question and the Sonthern Democratic blatherskite, as national bones of contention, as to crush the life out of them. The nation wants to go on to something else; so does the Negro; so do we. Leave the question to the States for settle- ment, where it belongs, and to the Federal Supreme Court finally to determime if the States have settled it within their right under the Federal Constitution as amended. THE BUSINESS STRIKE. The Dallas Erpress save: ” “The outlook for the Negro in a business way just now is not alto gether encouraging. In many places he is not keeping step with the rat. tling drum beat of the march of progress. His investments are earning little or nothing. The sections of the city in which he lives, moves and has his being, are not overmuch burdened with evidences of improvement. There are reasons for this lethargy. The leaders of the people must not forget that they are the sentinels.” “The leaders of the people” do not forget that “they are senti- nels.” Those who forget are not sentinels, but make-believes for Personal advancement and aggrandizement. There are plenty suy Not a week passes that one of them does not get into trouble and drs a lot of innocent people into it with him. As a matter of plain truth, more is expected of “the leaders of the people” than of the masses of the people. “The leaders of the peo- ple” have done but little else during the past fourteen years than teach the masses by precept and example to “get money—get property, and all else will be-added unto you!” We have some good results to show, but not sufficient to justify the masses of the people who make the re- sults. “How can the people know if they have rio teacher?" was the burden of the preachment of John Baptist, Jesus Christ and Pau! of Benjamin; but they teach and preach and even die in vain if the people turn a deaf ear and keep on looking for the free distribution of loaves and fishes in Canaan or of free corn in Rome or of soup in New York, instead of providing those things for themselves as other people do it. _ We handle a million dollars a week in New York in wages alone, but it comes into our hands from white men, for the iost part, and goes right back into the hands of white men. We can’t teach our children to be storekeepers and bankers and other sorts of business, because we own so few places in which they can begin at the bottori to learn and work up to the top and know; they just keep .n being wage earners, as their fathers and mothers were before them, the most familiar tune the listening ear hears being, “Drink and be merry; to-morrow you may die!" There’ is no life in that attitude toward life. “The drum beat” of business development, of getting property, of having something the other man wants, is heard in a hundred and more Negro newspapers every week. How many Negroes hear“ it and catch the business stride? THE HOUSE WE MUST BUILD FOR US. Jn his article in Tae Ace of April 3, dated at North Yakima, in the State of Washington, Dr. Booker’ T. Washington continued to em- Phasize the fact, brought out in his first letter, published in Tue AcE of March 20, that the Negrocs in the Northwestern States have few opportunities to make a living open to them. This is largely true in all of the States of the Pacific States. In those States, as in the Cen- tral, Western and Northeastern States, the Negro has got to make em- ployment for himself and his children, as they are beginning to do it im the South and Southwestern States, where they are present in larg- est numbers, and where the whites do ‘not desire their patronage in cer- tain lines of business and professions. When you want something.and the man who has it does not wish to sell it to you or flatly refuses to do it, what are you going to-do, go without it or make it, as the man who refuses to serve you made it? Tt depends upon the sort of creature you are, and by the test of it races survive oc perish. In some of the department stores in New York and Philadelphia the clerks and waiters do not care to serve Negro patrons, and many restaurants don’t want them to put their faces inside the doorways. It is then clearly up to, Negroes every- where to make anything they want ard need when others who have made it refuse to let them have it. In the hotel, restaurant, saloon and theatre business we have reached that point in most sections of the dountry, notably in New York, and we shall have to reach it in other lines, by small and easy stages in the beginning, as we are learn- ing to do it. Dr. Washington makes the following statement, which is worthy of remembrance: . | “Jn many of the hotels where I have stopped it kas beem isteresting to fote that Japanese, white people and black people are employed as serv- ants. In most of the large hotels, however, the Japanese seem to control U+ work, and they are mighty good hotel workers. The Negro waiter and porter in the hotel has to compete with the Japanese and it is a pretty hard job. The Japanese are steady, reliable, sober, and are always on the job!” The Japanese workers in ery line of industry; from the blacking of a shoe to the management of a nation, are up to date and thorough, and: the Chinese are not far behind them in industrial and administra- tive preparedness atid efficiency. It is because of this: fact that the Christian nations of Europe, America and Australia have barred out Japanese and Chinese workmen and only tolerate their merchants and scholars. The Russians fear the Jews and concentrate them in pales, as we reservation the Indians, and prescribe the pursuits of all sorts iri which they may engage. Other European States used to treat the Jews in like manner. No higher tribute could be paid the Japanese, Chinese and Jewish people than to fear to:deal with them on equal terms because of their superior ability in forging a bolt or driving a bargain. ., But the fear to allow the Japanese and Chinese to come into the United States on equal terms with Europeans of the highest and low- est type is having the same influence upon them that discrimination | is having upon the Negro, but in a’ greater and more effective way— the Jar ¢ are learning to make at home for themselves the "things ade in the raw, crude and’ manufactured’ prodocts they were beginning to buy in. this country before the Sard Lots Chinese agitation began by Denis Kearney in California, in 1890-8 ‘and which they would have continued to buy. They are 460,000,000 people, thei ie ‘States they can make @r dq:without. trade line on. us.

We do not want to admit that and he should not. The result is with Bese Re che, messes of hint, however, suet not with as who.are but a Warner seeing the danger from afar and Uirecting attention to it. The Negro's oa Pe Neetwett are few, as ‘Dr. Washington points out, but he should be encouraged to make the most of them and’ create others while doimg so. What is g6od and nec- essary for him to do in the Northwest is equally so in every other sec- tion Bnd \commaiahty it the mation.

Congress April 7, with the zpproval of President Wilson, has been dubbed “A tariff to relieve the market basket.” By thin ig meant that at last’ an honest ef- fort is to be made to relieve the con- sumers of foodstuffs and other neces- aaries of life from the taxation which has ground them between the upper and nether greed of the’ producers afid manu- facturers and their handling agencies; the avowed parpose of the measure being to put the burden of governmental expense upon the wealthy and by re- ducing the price of necessaries lower the cost of living for the poor. Re- ductions are proposed: in the metal schedule, machinery generally, sugar re- duced by 25 per cent. now and to be free in thtee years, woollen, linen and silk fabrics, with meat on the free list. The new rates will reduce the Govern- ment’s customs revenues $120,000,000 ‘per annum. Provision is made to recover this revenue to the Government by a tax on, incomes of $4,000 yer annum and more. the rate of taxation being graduated, from one per cent. The salaries of! Government officials is exempt, although, thete can be no reason why the salary} of such should mot be taxed the same’ jas other incomes of $4,000 and’ more.| ‘There is a very general protest against) the proposed imcome schedule, the, argument being that all incomes should, be subject to tax, the burden falling’ heaviest om those who have the larger, inoomes by graduated scale. The meas-! ure may undergo radical amendment in! this respect before it finally becomes a’ law. - We favor the principle as it has! been introduced. It is no ~burden! whether to tax incomes of $4,000 aad upwards, while to tax those below that would be a burdem on ‘the living wage| of the bread winner. Taxation should bear! heaviest upon those things that can most conveniently bear it and least! upon those things that can only bear) it at a gieat personal sacrifice. The! great mass of the people live on less! than $4,000 a year, the majority on an’ average of $426. ' Any honest effort to equalize tax bur-' dens, to place the burden upon the'é shoulders most ab¥€ to bear it, “to re-, jieve the market basket.” should be en-| couraged, It is very unjust indeed:.that j he burden of taxation should fall! neaviest upon wage-earmers and small; | vusiness enterprises and lightest upon’ , hose with bloated fortunes and vast neomes, the great corporations and; ! rivate corporative business concerns, | nade “possible by a tariff system which places the consumer at the: nercy of the, aranufacturing, import! ng and transportation masters; many, f yf the manufacturing «concerns being) x b1@ to sell their “wares ‘cheaper, in’ 7 reign markets than they do in thé, ¢ ome market.

TALK as you will and may about the need of the Negro acquiring wealth and education (both higher and industrial education), I am becoming more and more imbued with the opinion that along with wealth and education the colored man must possess self-respect. You may be as rich as Crossus and as wise as Solomon, but if you do not have enough self-respect to take exception to those who 'kick your dawg aronn'," you will never be respected in turn. I make this statement after seeing the big advertisement of a colored quintet in the current number of a publication which only a few weeks ago insulted the race by making an unjust attack on the colored postal clerks, referring to them as "niggers" in large capital letters. I will refrain from mentioning the name of this publication because I do not care to dignify it; neither do I desire to give it free advertising. I understand that the previous mention made in these columns pleased its editors. From their standpoint, which is strictly commercial, they expressed the opinion that the criticism appearing in The Age served to introduce the sheet to the colored people. In this instance I will not be so accommodating. Had Irish clerks in the postal service been maligned as were the colored clerks the followers of St. Patrick would have shown their resentment in a manner that would have commanded respect in the future. The Jews would have done likewise. But how different, as a rule, with the Negro. To repay a blow with a smile is indeed Christian-like, but in this era of race oppression there are some Christian precepts which impress us as being somewhat impractical. Why should colored musicians and singers advertise in a sheet which published one of the most insulting articles ever written about Negroes, thereby giving it financial aid and assisting it to exist—to continue its attack on members of their race? In the current issue of the publication an attack is made on Mayor Gaynor for enforcing the 1st clock ordinance in cafes, and the complaint is made that a colored woman who owns several cafes in the tenderloin district is permitted to remain open. I shall not mention the name of the quintet in question, nor shall I disclose the identity of its members. However, I must admit that I am surprised at the actions of the manager of the quintet in this matter. If he must advertise in white theatrical publications why not do business with the New York Morning Telegraph, the Variety and the Clipper? They are more friendly. Under the caption "Races Are Mixed on Hippodrome Bill," either the New Orleans Picayune or the New Orleans Item published the following "startling" piece of news a short time ago: The presence of a Negro among the white entertainers, which include white women, caused a great deal of comment among those who witnessed the new bill at the Hippodrome Monday. The Negro is known as "The Alabama Blossom" and on frequent occasions had danced and "shouted" in the Temple Theatre, the Saratoga street edifice which is supposed to house the colored Thespis. The action of the Hippodrome management in placing the Negro on the same bill with white women is without precedent here. All of the big vandeville circuits have Negro numbers, but they do not send them to New Orleans. Heretofore New Orleans theatres for the last 10 years have refrained from playing even all-Negro attractions. A well-known star was primarily responsible for forcing the Negro players into their own playhouse. She declined to use the dressing-room which had been utilized the night before by Negro minstrels. The show at the Hippodrome is a good one, and a big audience witnessed it Monday night, but the management should conform to local customs O, slush! This article appears humorous until you get to the last paragraph, and then you experience a feeling of disgust. Local customs! How long does the intelligent South intend to stand for such rot? It is the asinine Southerner who is always braying about "conforming to local customs" who takes a trip up North and seeks to sow seeds of race hatred and create adverse conditions for Negroes the same as exist in the South. If he would attend to his own business and spend less time away from home assassinating the liberty and privileges of the colored citizens the affairs of this country would be in a less chaotic state and the races would be on more friendly terms. "We don't do that down South," is a statement frequently made by Southern- ers when they come this way. Here is a Southern writer who was honest enough to admit that the theatrical performance with a colored man on the bill was a good one, but was too narrow in vision to make the admission that the innovation was a success. He raves and yells for the maintenance of local customs, and yet were he to come to New York and secure a position on a daily as dramatic critic he would, if permitted, emit a howl of protest about the policy pursued of employing colored and white acts on the same bill in the East, and would then burden the readers about the customs existing in the South. Those who go South and hear some white men forever discussing "social equality" and observe then their strong preference for the society of colored women find it very, very difficult to reconcile all that they say and do. Colored performers assert that the white man of the South who is willing to lynch a colored man if he accidently touches a white woman in passing, is the first to make an effort to form the acquaintance of some "pretty yaller. gal." The young women in some of the colored shows touring the South have had some exciting experiences with white mashers. No colored man's wife or daughter is entirely safe from the importunities of this class of Southern white man. And yet they talk about conforming to local customs! CRESCENT THEATRE Both stock companies are appearing in funny sketches at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. "Dan Chain Lightning" is the title of the skit in which Emmett Anthony figures, assisted by Sam Rhoads, William Lee, Robert Perry, Evelyn Moore, Grace Taylor and Marion Whitfield. "A Trip to Africa" is one of the strongest sketches in which Hunter and Chappelle have appeared during their present run at the Crescent. Reinforced by Winfrey and Martin and the other members of the company, Hunter and Chappelle appear to advantage. Other acts on the bill were Florence Brooks and Hank Samuel. The Crescent Theatre management is making a special feature of two and three-reel pictures, which are very interesting. FRANKLIN THEATRE Anna Cook Pankey, the well-known soprano, is back in the East after many months' absence, and is delighting Harlem the剧组ers at the Franklin Theatre all of this week. She is appearing in an act with Mme. Pauline Dempsey, and they do a meritorious turn. The talk in the opening of the act could be advantageously eliminated, however. Anna Cook Pankey does most of the serious work, while Mme. Dempsey dishes out the ragtime. They close in "Miserere" from "Il Trovatore," which goes big. Mme. Dempsey is very pert for an old-timer, and Anna Cook Pankey's voice is just as big and rich as ever. William Schack is a young ventriloquist of considerable promise, and May and June are entertaining. Mme. Dempsey's Dancing Damsels also ran. Daisy Fleming and Company were held over the second half of last week. This act set the natives to talking about their foot work. There is a young man in this act who, besides being a great tumbler, plays a stringed instrument made out of a cigar box with skill. Billy Chadwick was at the Franklin the second half of last week. THE LAFAYETTE PLAYERS The Lafayette Players, unincumbered by any additional references, such as "Negro," "Afro-American" or "colored," said howdy to the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre for the first time Monday, and there is every reason to believe that the new stock company will hold forth at Seventh avenue and 132d street for some time to come. The musical sketch entitled "Soldiers?" in two acts of twenty minutes each, hits the bull's eye. Dame Rumor is as active as she is pernicious, and fortunate is he or she who keeps out of her clutches. Jesse A. Shipp has given her a black eye by refuting the report she has tried to put in circulation that he was a back number as a producer. His piece "Soldiers?" is just what the doctor ordered. In its present shape it ranks as a big-time act. Mr. Shipp is being assisted by R. C. McPherson. Allie Gillam and Billy Harper are very funny in their parts. They form a comical team and work together with smoothness and precision. Allie Gillam is the most original of all our young colored comedians, and has been dubbed the "all by himself comedian." Billy Harper's method of creating merriment are also peculiar to himself. Gillam and Harper essay roles of two disciples of the "plenty of rest and, but little work" doctrine, who thought they were drafted in the army to fight the enemy in brutal bushes, but who later learned that a poke was being played on them. The person of the cast is remis- niscent with both the old Williams and Wall Lowe and Johnson com- panies. He was Van Ginquisse, who has been When the Bloom Is on the teacher, in which she scores as a Nurse. Norling Rex plays the part of military surgeon; Elizabeth Wilson has the leading speaking part of Frank DeLayons is much in love with a lecturer. A youngster who seems to be taking to the stage as does a duckling to water is Edward Brown. He says his lines as though he had been in the show business several seasons. Lillie Jewell, the little girl with a big soprano voice, was compelled to respond to several encores before the audience had enough of "You've Got to Rag It," assisted by chorus. Others appearing in the company are Hilda Offley, Gertrude Tisdale, Grayce Lee Cook, Lillian Jones, Mae Brown, Clarice Wright, Edna Logan, Carrie Lauder, Juhan Keith, Fred Cozzens and Frank Smith. Upon William C. Elkins have been imposed the duties of whipping the musical numbers in shape and he seems to be on the job. The young women have been selected with an eye to physical charms, and while the costumes are not elaborate they are neat and clean and pleasing to look at. If you want to enjoy a nice, clean, even musical sketch, minus slap stick and vulgarity, go to see "Soldiers?" Other numbers on the bill are the Carolina Comedy Four, who open weakly but have a strong dancing finish; Sicklers and Allen, character comedians; George Carrol and Company and Pewitt, the mysterious face. Manager Benjamin Nibur has made good his promise to replace white female ushers with young colored women. A colored orchestra and colored card boys are now in order at the Lafayette.

CHICAGO LETTER. Roy Johnson and Cecil Watts, Ed. Boodbar tenor and the seven Cali formia Poppies, Texas Tommy whirl wind dancers, made a big hit at the Garden Theatre last week. The Poppies include Will Mastin, Harry McDaniels, Henry Allen, Ruth Brown, Ethel Bates, Baby Lowe and Virgie Aichards, formerly of the Smart Set company. The Pekin has changed hands, that is one of the stockholders in the new lease is giving five cent pictures and Sunday vaudeville a trial. Blondie Robinson has arrived from Australia, the Pacific coast and Mexico. He will not appear on State street owing to the fact that he is under contract on the big time. He is going East. Harry Goodman, manager of the Samoa Girls, is very ill. There is talk of a benefit in his behalf, if possible. News of Frank Clermont's death cast a gloom over the actors here. Personally I looked upon him with pride and as a blessing to actors in Chicago because of his intelligence, business ability and use.

Morris Third in Road Race Aaron Morris, the long distance runner of the Smart Set Athletic Club, took third place in the biggest road run held in this city this year on Sunday last. The event was the Morningside A. C. flipple run, in which there were 213 starters, including the best cross-country runners in the metropolitan district. Morris was the lone colored starter in this big field and his excellent showing occasioned a great deal of applause. R. Kelley, wearing the colors of the Long Island A. C., was the first runner to pass through the long lane of spectators to the finish line, reaching that point in 30 minutes and 9 seconds. J. O'Meara, unattached, with the same handicap, was second. Morris was only a few yards behind the second man, having covered the distance in 29 minutes and 56 seconds. The first and second runners had a 30 second handicap over Morris. J. J. McNamarni, of the Irish-American A. U., was the virtual scratch man, with 45 seconds, and though he covered the course in 28 minutes and 43 seconds, he had to be content with seventh place, as the long markers had set a terrific pace for the Irish runner. The Mohawk A. C. won the team prize with a score of 80 points, while the Long Island A. C. team finished second with 118 points, and the Morningside boys took third with 170.

From the present outlook the contest is now between the Speedwell and Avon teams, Alpha having struck a streak of hard luck which it seems impossible to shake off.

The services were simple, short and impressive. The Rev. Bolden delivered the sermon. At the communion services Dr. B. W. Annett, of Bethel, preached a stirring sermon. In the evening Rev. J. H.
