"PRETTY WHITE MISS" IS 45 Papers Seek to Start Trouble In the Office of Recorder of Deeds Irene Monroe, Declared Incompetent, Claims She Fears Violence at the Hands of Fellow Employees. TEMPEST IN A TEA-POT National Democratic Fair Play Association Made Up of Poor Whites Who Are Hun- gry for Office and Many for Food. Special to THE NEW YORK AME. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14—The yellow journals of this country which have been zealously working since March 4 to start a bitter race war in the departments here continue to print sensationel-reports to embarrass the colored employees. The latest piece of "startling news" is that the office of the Recorder of Deeds is to be investigated, the charge being made by Miss Irene Monroe, "a pretty white miss," that she feared violence at the hands of fellow employees. Recorder of Deeds Henry Lincoln Johnson welcomes the investigation, as he, like many others, is fully aware that the Irene Monroe agitation is nothing more nor less than a tempest in the trapot. The incident is being magnified to create a sentiment hurtful to the colored employees in the various departments. The National Democratic Fair Play Association, which is responsible for all the present noise being made, has resolved to stop at nothing to embarrass the colored employees. Any white woman who is lacking in modesty as well as money can earn a few dimes if she cares to make an affidavit protesting against working side by side with Negroes. Irene Monroe has been employed in the Recorder's office for over twelve years. She is 45 years old, although the daily papers seek to make her young and comely. The woman was appointed from Saratoga, N. Y., at the request of a Republican, although she now professes to be a Democrat. Her rating in the office is poor and she has been periled for three times in four months. She has been fired from twelfth to eighteenth, and her earning capacity is put at $50 a month. "Link," Johnson's Manly Stand. The grievance of the Monroe woman is that the colored employees, with half a dozen whites, average $80 monthly, or for about twenty days' work. The records kept by Miss Monroe show more mistakes than any other clerk. The statement that she has been intimidated is regarded as a huge joke by Recorder Johnson to deputy captain J. Dutton goes so far as to say that he hadvised the woman's removal to both Recorders Dancy and Johnson. When the "Committee on Prejudice" of the National Democratic Fair Play Association called on Recorder Johnson he gave the visitors to understand that he would not stand for their threats or remove employees on the whim of some irresponsible committee. He branded the statements of this disseminating race prejudice committee as a tissue of falsehoods. Mr. Oliver, who is secretary to Senator O'Gorman, informed Recorder Johnson that the Senate had personal interest in the committee, and that Mr. O'Gorman was only interested in the woman as he would be in any other person who claimed to be a constituent. This alleged fair play committee is made up of poor white office seakers, many of whom have been barred out of the saloons in this city because of their penchant for lunch grabbing. One of them, Brice, is an elevator pusher at the capitol. Most of them are regarded as jobless. The inclination of some of the papers to give their cognition has turned their heads. They imagine they are going to run the nation. And yet this bunch of irresponsibles is doing some harm. SAT AS DELEGATE. FORT WAYNE, Ind., May 13—For the first time in the history of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Markers, a Negro occupied a seat in a delegate session in the nation's session here last week. He was Edward Harris, of Covington, Ky. MONEY FOR EDUCATION Mher Marian Curtis, of Milton, Mass., and February 1, 1911. Appraisal of her contracted May 9 showed assets in New York City of $36,344, and a total valuation of $333,173.

She also left $15,000 to the university, the purpose of buying books for the John Curtis Free Public Library, founded by her father. White Railway Mail Clerk Manager to Break Into Print by Aaking Postmaster General Burleson to Segregation Special to The New York Am. Lrressa Rock, Ark, May 13—Despite adverse criticism, and an open threat of violence, Robert Prather, a Little Rock Railway mail clerk, is carrying forward a campaign for the segregation of the Negro and the white railway mail clerks, while in service, and states that within ten days he will have ready to fire with Postmaster General Burleson a petition bearing 10,000 names, asking for the segregation of two black railway mail clerks. The signatures are those of railway mail clerks throughout the United States. The petition itself will be conveyed to Washington by C. E. Castleberry, of this city, but Mr. Frather is the inspiration for the segregation movement. He has been in the service in this section for many years and decided that, because of the service he be more effective and there should be less friction in operation if the white clerks and the Negro employees worked separately. STAND UP FOR SMALLS. Republican Senators Have Served Notice That They Will Oppose Confirmation of Nominees—Gen. Smalle a Here During Civil War. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 14—Republican senators of the Congressive Committee have added one more to the list of President Wilson's nominations which they expect to fight. It was that of Franklin P. Colcock, named to succeed Robert Smalls as Collector of Customs at Beaufort, S. C. Gen. Smalls aided the Union army in the Civil War, and long has been an object of attack by Senator Tillman and other Southern Senators. Under the plan for reorganization of the customs, Gen. Smalle should book about six more to serve, and Republicans intend to oppose any attempt to put in office a new man for that short period. Colcock's name was ordered favorably reported to the Senate Thursday, and the Republicans served notice of their intention to fight. ANOTHER NEGRO GOES Northeast to the New York Acr WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14—J. M. Holzendorf, Collector of Port at St Mary's, Ga., a Negro in spite of his name, has been displaced and succeeded by a "Southern white gentleman." Holzendorf's salary was $1,800 a year. His office, like that of Gen. Smalls, is to be abolished July 1, or consolidated with another office. And yet those two men were not allowed to hold office just two months longer, having been picked off by the sharpshooters. SPENT NEARLY $10,000 ON A WHITE WOMAN Jack Johnson Found Guilty of Violating White Slave Law—Seeks New Trial—Belle Schreiber Said to be Woman of Immoral Character. Special to The New York Sun. CHICAGO, Ill., May 44. There are hundreds of colored and white citizens here who condemn Jack Johnson's notorious connection with white women, but who assert that the champion is being persecuted instead of prosecuted in the Belle Schreiber case. Although a jury Tuesday found Johnson guilty on seven counts for violating the Federal white slave law, general belief is that he will be granted a new trial. The white jurors are said to have convicted Johnson because of his intimate relations with the Schreiber woman rather than because he violated the white slave act. Friends of Johnson charge that Belle Schreiber was a denizen of the underworld before the champion met her. It is puzzling to Johnson's lawyers how the fighter can be convicted of violating the white slave act when Belle Schreiber was a frequenter of immoral resorts long before he met her. The maximum penalty under the finding is five years imprisonment or $10,000 fine, or both. A motion by Assistant District Attorney Parkin that Johnson be confined in jail was overruled by Judge Carpenter, and Johnson was released on a bond of $10,000. A motion for a new trial was filed at once by counsel to Johnson. Argument on the motion was set for May 19. Four ballots were taken by the jurors, the first being four for acquittal and eight for conviction. Johnson admitted he had sent money to the woman in response to her request by telephone, but denied he made any stipulation that she should use it to come to Chicago. He testified he had sent "between $9,000 and $10,000" on Belle Schreiber, but had positively he sent her a telegram telling her to come to Chicago and wait for him here. Whether his agents sent such a telegram without his knowledge he could not say. He said he telephoned and asked him for $7. He complied, but had no intention that she should come to this city. The woman, he said, asked him to furnish a flat for herself, her sister, and her mother. She wished to work as a stenographer again. "I sent about $1,000 for her to fix up her flat," Johnson related, "and then gave her $200 to keep her going till she could get a job as a stenographer." He denied he had ever given her dis With a membership of more than 1,500, and congregations at each service that overtax the capacity of its edifice, the Concord Baptist Church, Duffield street, near Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, is laying plans for the erection of a new building to cost approximately $50,000, exclusive of the ground. Plans and specifications have already been drawn and will be exhibited to the membership Monday evening. May 19, when the annual reunion of the church will be held. The pastor, the Rev. William Maurice Browne, was the pastor since September, 1910, and during that time there have been about 425 accessiones to the membership. Organized in 1847, with the Rev. Sampson White as pastor, the church was located on Concord street, from which location it took its name. The Rev Mr. White served until 1851, in his first term, and later was called again and served from 1857 to 1862. From 1853 to 1857 the church was served by the Rev. James Bundick and the Rev. J. Barrett see pastor during the year of 1862, and in 1863 the revered father in Israel, the Rev. W. T. Dixon, was called. Dr. Dixon served the church forty-four years, until his death in 1907. Without a pastor from 1907 until 1910, the church called the Rev. Wm. M. Moss from Norfolk, Va., and he has pastored the church since that year. In 1873 the church moved to Canton street, coming to Duffield street in 1889. Under Dr. Moss' pastorate the church is remaining remarkable prosperity. A sinking fund is being established for the erection of the new building and about $5,000 has already been raised and banked for that purpose. Relations between pastor and membership are monious and friendly. Interest in the church services is shown by the entire body, even the prayer-meeting services being largely attended. No Admission Fee for Entertainments. One feature of the administration of affairs at the church is that the house of worship is used altogether for religious services. No entertainments charging an admission fee are allowed, but the church has a grand set of officers. Dr. Moss, the pastor, has recently moved his residence from Cumberland street to 346 Grand avenue. The church clerk is P. H. Fisher, 579 Herkimer street, who has served for more than twenty years. The trustees are Lewis H. Berry, chairman; G. H. Carter, T. P. Moseley, Robert L. Williams, Chas. J. Crowder, Edward L. Faulcon, Alfred B. Nash, Chas. H. Vann, Matthew, Russell, Deacon Board—Pierre Zeno, chairman; Robert L. Powell, secretary;汪礼静, G. Carlson, John Sawyer, Melvin Stephen, Richard Clark, Charles Murrow, Fred K. Ferguson, Arthur Durrell, Philip Swan, General Staton, J. B. Clayton, Edward H. Wilson.

Murrow, Charlotte A. Nesbitt, Anna A. Perkins, Charlotte A. Roots, Elsie Sweeney, Martha A. Warfield, Catherine White, Alice W. Wiley. The present property of the church consists of church building and parsonage on Duffield street, valued at $55,000, and a dwelling house uptown valued at $5,000. This property is unencumbered, and the church is entirely out of debt. The financial report for 1912 showed total collections for the year to be $11,399.64. Donations to missions, education and benevolence totaled $2,512.80. That there may be trained workers for the various departments of church endeavor the membership is divided into auxiliary organizations, each of which has its specific function. Upon these forces the church depends for properly trained material for intelligent service. Sunday School Divided Into Nine Departmental Groups. The Sunday School, N. B.

Exposition Held under Ampuses of Illinois Half Century Exposition of which "Tent" Swann is President. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 13.—At the industry exhibit under the auspices of the Illinois Half Century reedom Exposition, held Friday afternoon, May 9 at the Illinois Colored Old Folks' and Orphans' Home, 429 South Twelfth street, Gov. Edward F. Dunne was the principal speaker. The exposition also marked the fifthth anniversary of the founding of the home. Thomas Wallace Swann is president and organizer of the Illinois Half Century Freedom Exposition. Over five hundred articles were on exhibition as samples of the work done by Negro citizens of this city. The exhibits were placed in the rear of the building. A large tent was put up especially for the use of Gov. Dunne and the members of the Illinois Legislature who accompanied him. Adjit. Gen. Dickson was also with him. The exhibits embraced drawings. GOV. EDW. F. DUNNELL OF ILLINOIS paintings and domestic science work, and attracted much favorable comment. The address of Gov. Dunne treated largely of the progress made by the Negroes in the past fifty years, religiously, materially and intellectually. In speaking of the frugality of the race he said that approximately $500,000,000 had been accumulated in fifty years, or an average of $50 for each person. He said that the Negro contributed one-tenth of their wealth to Christianity and one-tenth to education. This he declared, entitled them to the sympathy, not only of their own people, but of the white people as well. One of the objects of the exposition was made in the proposed exposition of 1915, an appropriation bill for which is pending before the Illinois Legislature. The bill was introduced in the House by Mr. Lloyd, and in the Senate by Mr. Dailey, and by its provisions sufficient money will be provided for the exposition in commemoration of the half-century of freedom enjoyed by the Negro. Well Known Negroes Present. Besides the address by Gov. Dunne, addresses were made by Hon. Richard T. Greener, Chicago; the Rt. Rev. E. W. Osborne, D.D., bishop of Springfield, and Hon. W. F. Powell, Camden, N. J., former minister to Haiti. Members of Company M, Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, Cap. W. H. Hodge commissioned, Adjustment General Frank S.

In September, 1909, a Negro Trades Exposition was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Chicago, at which time Gov. Charles S. Deneen delivered a notable address, advocating the plan of a permanent exposition among the Negroes. He advised the building of a large industrial home in Chicago in which to have permanent exhibits of the work being done by the men. JUDGE ADJOURNS COURT When Virginia Judge 'Learned that Booker T. Washington Was in Town He Ordered an Adjournment—Party Makes Educational Pilgrimage Through Four Virginia Counties. Special Tours New York Ancestor 'HAMPON, Va. May 13.—When Dr. Booker T. Washington and party reached Gloucester, Va. on a tour through several counties in Virginia five thousand white and colored citizens were assembled at the Gloucester Court House Square. When Judge Jones learned of the presence of the famous educator he at once adjourned court. Dr. Washington was introduced by Maj. James N. Stubbs, one of the wealthiest and most distinguished lawyers in Tidewater Virginia, and Senator John R. Saunders. Dr. Washington was accompanied by Maj. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute. Others in the party were W. T. R. Williams, field agent John F. Slater fund, Hampton Institute; Editor P. B. Young, and P. B. Norfolk, and Gilman, Gilman, Boston; George A. Davis, Hampton Institute; Capt. Allen Washington, assistant disciplinarian, Hampton Institute; William A. Aery, Hampton Institute; M. M. Gandy, executive secretary, Negro Organization Society of Virginia, Petersburg, Va., and the Rev. George E. Read, Cherition, Va.

During his brief tour Dr. Washington delivered seven public addresses to some twenty thousand attentive, orderly, prosperous Negroes and hundreds of the most representative and progressive white people—leading ministers, lawyers and public-spirited citizens, and others—and however, by the close hearing and hearty indorsement which he received from his own people and from the best white people. NEW LAW HELD UP. BALTIMORE. Md., May 14.—Through the efforts of Councilman Harry S. Cummings action on the proposed new segregation law has been postponed. It is probable that the decision of the Court of Appeals on Judge Elliot's deciding against the validity of the measure will be awaited. W. Asbieh Hawkins will conduct the appeal before the highest tribunal in the State. There are many whites who are insisting that a new law be passed immediately and the Baltimore Sun is making a light to stir up prejudice between the races by alleging that local and outside colored capitalists are trying to secure property in the wealthiest neighborhoods of the city. DEMAND RIGHT TOVOTE IN FREDERICK, MD. Mitchell Johnson Brings Suit against Registers Who Refused to Put His Name on Registration Books—Negro Citizens behind Legal Proceedings. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE FREDERICK, Md., May 14.—The Negro citizens do not intend to be intimidated and denied the right to vote in municipal elections. They have decided to test the law if they have to go to the highest courts in the land. Through his attorneys Mitchell Johnson has filed in court a petition of grievance, having been refused registration last week by the Board of Registeres in Precinct No. 1. He asks the court to order his name placed upon the registry books of Frederick. Reno S. Harp, one of the attorneys for Johnson, says that the proceedings were not instituted at the instance of any party, but that it is a movement among the Negro citizens of Frederick. He explained that a number of leading colored citizens of Frederick, some of whom are property owners, are behind Johnson. It is said that the plan of the colored men who are behind the project, if a favorable verdict is not awarded by court here, is to carry the case to the Court of Appeals. Should the decision of the court here be favorable to the Negroes, it is most probable that City Attorney Smith of Frederick, a Democrat, would carry the case to the Court of Appeals. When Johnson made application to register Charles A. Six and George E. Schel were the registers, one being a Republican, the other a Democrat. They were agreed on the point of Johnson, both feeling that the Maryland law prevented his registration. City Attorney Smith says that Mr. Shell, the Democratic register, had asked him to appear in the case for him. Mr. Smith said he was unable to say just what the procedure would be. In his petition Mr. Johnson alleges he was born in Washington, D. C., in 1867. He came to Frederick in 1902 and has voted in the county. State and national elections. He says that prior to January 1, 1869, his father would have been emailed the Maryland election if it had not been for the word "white" in the Maryland constitution. He erises that the refusal of the registers to register him last Tuesday was based upon his race and color. PRISONER LOSES SIGHT AND MIND Nineteen-Year-Old Boy Driven Insane and Blind by Misrevelment THE CONVICT SYSTEM Mobile Item Attacks Brutal Meth- ode of State Officials and Cases Upon Governor to Take Action. DRIVERS AT CAMP [BRUTAL Thomas Ross Was in Good Health when Taken Prisoner, but New High in Health and Physical Wreck. BREMINGHAM, Ala., May 13—If Abbason continues it will rival Siberia in its tyrannies as far as Negroes committed to the care of the State as prisoners are concerned. So outrageous have been the revelations of the various institutions being that the newspapers of the state are detained that a quick change with reference to prison conditions shall be made. Nothing more revolting has recently been published than the story of Thomas Ross, a nineteen-year-old boy, who was rendered blind and insane under the lash of officials at the Huxford and Orivin Naval Stores Company's convict camp at Atmore. The Mobile Item has called upon Gov. O'Neal and the State authorities to cause prosecution against those said to be guilty of felony. Organization of the charges was taken Saturdays. Dr. D. H. Oates, State prison inspector, who not immediately ferred with the Governor. What course was decided on was not determined, but it indicated that an immediate investigation of the alleged cruelties will be thoroughly investigated. The Item declares that Ross was in good health when sent to the camp from Mobile for a hard labor sentence and publishes an account to the effect that the youth was finally driven insane and blind, and is now an inmate of the insane asylum at Mount Vernon. "It is in evidence," declares the Item, "that the Negro youth was in good health when he was sentenced to hard labor by the judge of the city court. State officials believe that he appears to be an industrious and responsible man, learned that the youth was sick at the convict camp. He visited the camp to investigate and the Item's news columns tell the remainder of the story in the following; Youth Was Delirious. "He was informed by his son and others, he says, that the illness was the result of severe punishment administered by the drivers of the convict camp. The boy at first was unable to recognize his stepfather and deliriously kept up a motion of dodging, as if he were afraid of being whipped. "After several months of waiting the stepfather of the prisoner sought the whereabouts of the boy. Appeals to the Huxford and Orwin company were vain, he says, and the mother of the boy was given almost to despair. As a last report the father inserted an advertisement. "Following publication of the advertisement inquiry at the county resulted in information to the effect that Ross, who became blind and insane while at the camp, had been transferred, to the Negro Insane Asylum at Mount Vernon, where, it is said, he is at the present time." In discussing the matter further, the Item declares that "if his blindness and insanity were caused by the brutality of his keepers, these men have been guilty of a felony, and should be promptly prosecuted, to the extent that the people of Alabama the Item calls upon the Governor of the State tc set the legal machinery in motion which will determine whether or not the convict guards have been guilty of this outrageous crime against civilization. "On the last occasion when a complaint of brutality was made through the columns of the Item against the Huxford and Orvin camp, the then president of the convict board, James G. Oakley, declared that the complaint was not well founded and the State did not institute an investigation. At this time the people of the State have a better estimate of the credibility of James G. Oakley. "The authorities of Mobile County have investigated the same camp on two occasions without result." No Small Matter. The blindness and insecurity of the不fortunate Negro youth who is the latest victim of the convict leasing system should not be the subject of a county investigation." continued the Item. "If a felony has been committed as apparently upon the statement of fact published the county and for outside the jurisdiction of its own courts. The offense is merely against the laws which are made for the security of life and property and moral well-being—it is a female challenge to modern civilization, involving the right of designee authority to stop unfried men will add the comedy shows of the God-given mortality which dismay the human from the beast. "If the system can do this without the hand of authority being raised on behalf of the blinded and brain-rehabbed almana, Alhamsa's place in the estimation of its sister States will be lower than that accorded the State in the Federal statistics of literacy."

Celebrate Silver Wedding Anniversary Washington, D. C., May 13.—The house of Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtia was the most last night of one of the most brilliant social functions of the year, on the occasion of their silver anniversary. Washington society was out in all its glory, for the Curtia family is not only one of the most popular in the city but also one of the most beloved. Dr. Curtis himself is a surgeon and physician of national reputation, and his wife is known all over the country as a leader in every movement looking to the progress of the Negro race. Their four children complete an ideal home. The elder son, A. L. Curtis, is a physician, like his father; Maurice Curtis, the next son, is a student in the Howard University Medical School, in which his father is a professor; the third boy, Merrill, is a senior in the Washington High School and a boy of the most brilliant and promising histrionic talent. The only daughter in the family, Gertrude, a charming girl, is still in the graded schools. She is the youngest child. The presents that came to Dr. and Mrs. Curtis from all parts of the country were numerous, beautiful and elaborate, and the display of them tested the capacity of a large room. The decorations throughout the house were tastefully arranged and added greatly to the brilliancy of the scene. The indians were charming in their elegant costumes. In the receiving line were Dr. and Mrs. Carth and all of their children. Mrs. Blinor Curtis, Mrs. K. H. Terrell, Mrs. Charles Pickett, Mrs. A. S. Gray, Mrs. W. H. Lofton, Mrs. Alfred Lewis, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Mrs. Louise Worming and Mrs. Charles Post, Mrs. B. Barger, Mrs. Walter Pinchback, Miss Helen Gordon, Miss Blanche Malb, Miss Mary Terrell and Miss Phyllis Terrell. The other general assistants were the Misses Lilian Evans, Pearl Lewis, Dorothy Waring, Florence Wheeler, Aunoline McKiblay and Ethel McKiblay. Dr. Stoney for Grand Canceller. Augusta, Ga. May 13. At the forthcoming session of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, Knights of Pythias, to be held in Brunswick, July 3. It seems a foregoing conclusion that Dr. George "New-gret left" Stoney will be elected as the president of the Knights of Pythias. Dr. Hutto, the present incumbent, Dr. Stoney was a candidate two years ago at Macon but was knifed by supposed-to-be friends and so went down to defeat. Last year at Columbus no campaign was made, giving Hutto a clear field, but efforts were directed toward mending broken fences. These efforts have seemingly brought forth fruit for now the Stoney sentiment in the Hutto thresholds is on the increase. Assessments from the system, cultural and southwestern sections of the State of hearty and undivided support for Stoney. Dr. Stoney is a charter member of Fidelity Lodge, No.1, Augusta, the oldest lodge in the State, and was one of the first men in Georgia to labor for the development of Pythianism. He has, for a number of years, been a prominent member of the Supreme Lodge, and his wisdom and eloquence have had much to do with shaping the policies of the Order throughout the country. National interest is exhibited in Pythian affairs in Georgia because of the brave and successful fight made by the Georgia Grand Lodge, led by the hamented Creswill, who died before tasting the fruits of victory, in the courts of Georgia, and finally before the United Supreme Court, for the right of Negro lodges to bear the name of Knights of Pythias. In this light, Dr. Stoney was Creswill's right hand man, and was always called into examination in the crimes of the case. INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION HELD IN SPRINGFIELD Working along the lines suggested Thomas Wallace Swann and his associates have gradually developed the idea of the "Half-Century Exposition," and it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Illinois Legislature will give proper financial support to the organization. Activities were started in Springfield four months ago to give the exposition just closed, and it was intended through that exposition to impress the members of the Legislature to support the appropriation bill now pending. A. L. Williams and J. Lucas Gray, of Chicago, and other prominent citizens, with thirty-six different organizations in the State, are promoting the movement. Orangeburg, S. C.; May 13.—The State College, Prof. R. S. Wilkinson, Ph. D., president, held its seventeenth annual commencement exercises here May 7. The Rev. D. W. Cannon, D.

For many years I was convinced that no person like who has never unfortunate than myself. Loss in body, death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frzen. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Londstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purposed two them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it of the wonderful change in my life, through the power and influence of two Dear Sir: Several weeks ago I sooohly said t this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought a through the power and influence of two Loadstones. Dear Sir: Several weeks ago I ooolishly laid the chamois bag containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and locked them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was frettful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wanted to what had happened to cause so much distress 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 Man Farthest Down 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.

During the next few months there is going to be a great deal of discussion and excitement bearing upon politics and the putting of one man out of office and the effort to get another in. There is going to be a good deal attempted by the Democratic Congress in the way of depriving the Negro of some of his rights and opportunities. There are going to be a great many high-counting resolutions passed by white people and entered people in reference to the Negro. There are going to be many public meetings. In the midst of all this hit us keep our heads; let us keep our feet firmly planted on a solid rock. The only persons who can bring to the Negro man permanent help and fundamental relief in the Negro himself. This means that we must take advantage of all the help and encouragement that our white friends will give us in the way of getting money, property, creating business enterprises, building schools, churches, colleges and getting education and all that follows for our children and for ourselves. With all this we should not fail to prepare ourselves to cast our ballot at every local, State and national election. If we pursue the course constantly, steadily, that is herein indicated, our race will succeed, but success must come from within and not from without. Our best white friends realize this, and all that they are doing is meant to spur us on to self help in directions that every race must follow that finally succeeds. No resolutions that any organization can pass can make one man equal to another. No resolutions or excited public speech can make the Negro equal to the white man if he is not. Let us lay hold on the main things and we need not fear for anything else. GOOD HEALTH AND OLD AGE Everybody wants to "live to a ripe old age" and is seldom ready to answer, "Here am I!" when the still small voice calls him. With young and old, with rich and poor, with sick and diseased, with fortunate and unfortunate, it is the same. Love of life is the strongest passion, even in death, and is shared alike by the dumb and the articulate creatures. A dog can beat a person in dodging and howling about a death blow. We once visited a Chicago slaughter house and the wallings of the doomed cottage, one of which was dispatched every second, as the great wheel dugged them up and around to the exquisite, sounded for all the world as might the real Bedlam broke loose. The words acted as if they knew they were doused and bewailed the fact in all the vocal sounds of despair they possessed. People in a panic or in a riot act the same way, and are usually led into the trouble by a sly old member of their own sort who passes the danger by a blind gate known only to him. But the same fate also overtakes him when he gets too old to deceive his own and to serve his selfish masters any longer. People would live longer if they should live closer to natural laws in their eating and drinking and in regulating their sleeping and waking hours. This advice is being hammered into mankind by all sorts of wise men and wise women, but mankind is never disguised to hood but rather to resent any part of advice, unless it chimes in with their views. and after the war Negroes became fully free, but the war had left them in a state of suffering. Long ago it panned into an anom, a truism generally accepted at its face value, that "the Democratic party learns nothing and forgets nothing." We dare imagine that the genius who first uttered the truth did so more in sorrow than in anger, as it is never plaintant to have a whole party, any more than a whole people, indict itself. It is not only on the Negro question, but upon most questions of government that the axiom exactly fits the Democratic party. In the State and the Nation it manages to remain in power a short two or four years, where the voters are free to put them out, as in all of the States except the Southern cotton borough group, because they are prone to do things that make for confusion rather than law and order and to disturb rather than brace and encourage the industrial interests of the Nation. It is because of the Democratic proneness to do the wrong thing at the right time that former Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, with fifty years of experience in politics to draw upon, declares, in the Saturday Evening Post for May 3, that the voters of the Nation will recall the Republican party to power as soon as they begin to feel the effects of the Democratic policies on the tariff, the finances, and the personal rights of individuals, such as the income tax, and, we add the race restriction measures already submitted and threatened to be introduced into the Congress by the Vardamans, the Hardwicks and the Heflins. We are not surprised, therefore, that enough Democrats in and out of office at Washington have been found to organize the National Democratic Fair Play Association, and to adopt in mass meeting a set of resolutions assailing the civil service law and its administration, claiming that ninety per cent. of those holding civil service positions "for life" and "good behavior," were appointed by unfair methods and should be removed. But we are especially interested in the following four last of the eleven "whereases" and "resolves": ALSO WHERAS, we find that Negroes are helping Federal positions in Washington and elsewhere in the United States, in the same Department with white men and white women, and in a great many instances exercising supervision and control over white men and white women in mid departments, and. WHEREAS, we believe that and conditions are mutually disagreeable and injurious to both the white and Negro races, and is destructive to the moral welfare and amicable relationship, so much desired by both races. RESOLVED, that it is the sentiment and the conviction of this organization, that a Democratic Congress should by law segregate the races in the public service, conserving to the Negro race its fair share of Government employment, hand upon that race's numerical or voting strength, as in the sound discretion of Congress shall be just and fair to the Negro. RESOLVED FURTHER, that it is our sincere belief that the consummation of the purposes of this organization will aid and assist our National Democratic Administration; and that the realization of the process and principles hereof are vital to the continued supremacy of the Democratic party. Now, it is plain enough that the people who adopted these resolutions are of the Democratic sort who learn nothing and forget nothing; but it has not been made plain that they have enough of their sort in the Congress to destroy at their command the civil service law, and inflict injustice and humiliation upon the thousands of Negroes now in the public service because they won their positions in competitive examinations where no favor and no discrimination are allowed, merit alone counting; but we are not sure about it. Certainly the people of the country who drove out "the spoils system" in the public service and instituted the merit system, should be reckoned with. The New York Evening Post, Times and Harper's Weekly and the Springfield Republican and Boston Herald should get behind the National Democratic Fair Play Association and keep behind it until it has been run out of existence. The life of the civil service law is threatened by an organized Democratic mob that has plenty of sympathizers in the Cabinent and the Congress ready to do indirectly what they may be afraid to do openly. Such is the movement under full way to segregate and drive the Negroes out of the Railway Mail Service. The civil service law cannot be maintained in justice and equity for all by segregating and driving out of the service the army of Negroes who have won and hold their positions by the merit system in competitive examinations, because the Negro citizen has the very same rights, privileges and immunities under the Federal constitution that alleged white citizens have. We have no disposition to heap coals of fire on the heads of Negro Democrats. We wish the mbetter than they have so far fared under the administration of President Wilson, in which many Negro Republicans have been discharged since March 4, but not one Negro Democrat has been appointed to office. Even the Liberian Mission remains as empty as a shell from which the clam has escaped. The resolutions call for the absolute separation of blacks and whites now in the public service, a thing impossible to be done, even in the departments at Washington; the object being, on the face of it, to drive the Negro out of the public service. If it is the policy to drive out those who are in, obviously it will be the policy not to put any of those in who are out, and just trembling with desire and other things to get in. "The moral welfare and amicable relationship, so much desired by both races," insisted upon by the National Democratic Fair Play Association, and about which we hear so much constantly in discussion of the Negro question, really means the effacement of the Negro at every point of contact with the white man. In order to be in "amicable relationship" with the white man, the meaning is plain, the Negro must deny himself all of "the rights, privileges and immunities of citizens," when the white man, just like a headstrong baby, wants him to do it. Col. Roosevelt adopted the policy, in his letter to Julian Harris of Georgia, before the Progressive convention met in Chicago last summer, and President Wilson adopted it a few weeks ago, when he declared that he would not appoint Negroes to office whenever white men should object to it. We don't believe in any such infamous doctrine. We believe that on the face of it one citizen, one partisan, is as good as another, and should be treated on the merits and not on the color of the case. We have no faith in the Democratic party because it has no faith in us. We are against the Democratic party because it is against us. living have made it otherwise, and it is becoming more so. The vices that white folks grow fat upon kill black Negroes and their amalgams and red Indians by wholesale. The daily newspapers are sending the fact the rounds that Thomas Ellison of Walnut, Ark, better known, of course, as "Uncle Tom," is 93 years, has been married three times, is the father of 50 children, grandfather of 125, great-grandfather of 69 and great-grandfather of 27. His oldest child in 65 and his youngest 11 years old. We can hear him speak here. pillar of the church and lived a temperate life, eating simple food, drinking spring water and going to bed and rising with the sun. The Independent, our good friend, says: "For our part, we believe in a God of civilization who favors the town rather than the jungle, and man rather than the beast, so do God. But the beast of civilization of the town is often more dangerous than the man of the jungle. The suggestion that the Canal Zone be allowed to lunge into jungle as the best protection to the Prairie Coast, instead of making it of great extent, would be more likely to pose a threat than any other thing. The A. M. B. Church in its administrative policy - all I my policy I will. Full trust in the management of our church. We are all and between three terms in the management of our great church. We have responsibility properly and before us we are responsible for the management of the church will furnish the books upon which we can construct any governmental building. This is the department of investment the trouble in our church to-day. This the administrative department of our church is falling in with the department of investment in the administration. And just in proportion as we are work in this department, we must be work correspondingly in the other departments of our great church. "The committee on the compilation, of each book of discipline are charged with the compilation of the conference did in the last session, and then, too, putting into the book of discipline, the conference did not do. This is an compilation on the part of the committee for which the delegation of that body will not stand, and a wrong draft which is written and bordered on crime. R. Our ministry: inUNCTIONs have given us the power to give and this gives us innovations where in our church, and each innovator, the Grand old church is wide awake in all of her sections and if we would have peace in every way, we would be in every way that we want her healing. "4. Let our publishing department be treated alike. Let's wipe out all of our so-called church paper but one; and let our readers know that we are not to be. Let's wipe out the Church Extremes, for it has carried the 'urch and made a thousand man look for help from the wanted manage which we have sent there, and that department seven thousand eight hundred (87,000) dollars per quorum, office rent not included. And by wiping out the other two papers we move, per quorum (8900) dollars, office rent not included. We can then lighten the burden of the church and do more for the education of our people which is the crying need of the age. We can equip theological summary belonging to our connection or to any Negro church. Brethren, the race demands that we open our cyno and begin to think and do something for the betrayment of our whole world." "This automaton draped in a black gown has a two-fold action upon its audience; it attracts and detracts. It in it attracts and detracts the deprivacy in the individual, but for which, in many respects, they could not enter our palpits and successfully pastor. What we want is a decority dressed man with a white gown, a white headpiece, his resture God the Almighty can be seen. We want a cultivated brain, so barricate that the oil of thought shall lubricate every individual in his hearing. Back to God, we pray, our gospel sermon night and morning, as we shall have a great rededul in our church work." One writer in the Southern Christian Recorder asks the Bishop why he did not let the church know he had such thoughts in reserve before he was elected Bishop, and pointedly insinuates that Bishop Chappelle designs to split the church. That is one way to answer the very serious statement of certain facts by Bishop Chappelle, but it will not do the church any good. The African Methodist Episcopal Church has grown to be a great and powerful organization in this country, the West Indies and in Africa, and in order to accomplish the most good it must be governed strictly by the laws and usages of the church and upon the most economic principles consistent with the most approved business methods. Bishop Chappelle appears, to be aiming to bring this about. EDITORIAL NOTES The government of China recently asked the Christian nations to pray for the welfare of their new Republic. It is the first request of the kind ever made by China or any other Asiatic people and is regarded as very significant. President Auguste of Haiti surprised the world last week by dying quietly and naturally in his palace instead of in axle or by assassination. It is a hopeful sign when such a thing can occur in Haiti, and we hope we shall have more examples of the name sort, for the good of Haiti. If we have war with Japan we may have also to fight her ally, Great Britain and perhaps France and Russia, all of which are important to territories and trade interests in common to protect. Canada is very near the United States and the Philippine islands are not far from Japan. It is easier to provoke war than to end it. Dr. Lyman Abbott of the Outlook has been read out of the American Peace Society because he is too warlike in his newspaper. He belongs to the Army and Navy League, and thinks the Nation should fight if it must. The peace sentiment is abroad in the world, but the war sentiment is taxing the life out of the stations for the maintenance of vast armies and navies. Why should the Bible be read in the public schools, as many insisted, when no man has been found who can animate a child? Why should the children be burdened with what the grown-ups do not understand? The wording and the mortality of the Old Testament are such as to shut it up from any but those seeking the truth of history in prophecy. We think this view of it will grow upon the intelligence of the Christian people. The movement to preserve old people, which has become widespread throughout the nation, is only another of the innumerable movements to tax the industrious and saving to support those who spend as they go from youth to old age, when they can work no longer and must be supported by private or public charity. The spending habit, the disposition to have a good time while the doctor knits is a disgrace. They who have been so trained and educated, the doctor knits, are not fit to work. Byron McNeal "Many are poets who have never penned a thought." Perhaps. Certainly many are no poets who pen a great deal of verse. So with lawyers and others. Down at Perry, Ga. "Then Jefferson, a Negro," was placed on trial on an indictment found by the grand jury. When Judge Hillley asked him if he had a lawyer to represent him he said he did not need one and would plead his own case. After Sidotiator Brown had finished his argument, Jefferson made his statement, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Lawyers are a necessary luxury, but they are often more interested in losing than winning a case. Not every man can plead his cause safely, as the law is made nowadays to defeat rather than serve the ends of justice. The Negroes of Savannah, Ga., have decided not to have any river excursions this summer because the steamboat companies discriminate against them in the matter of dates, character of service and charges. The boycott is the proper thing under such circumstances. But healthy, outdoor exercises is necessary in the summer season, for tired workers and for the women and children of the home, and the Negroes of Savannah are numerous and prosperous enough to own and operate one or more steamboats of their own, as well as own one or more handmade groves and picnic grounds of their own. If others refuse to rent them the use of their property, as they do to others they should secure property of their own when able to do so. The Baltimore court has ruled that the segregation law adopted by the City Council is unconstitutional, as it would depopulate whole blocks of property in which blacks and whites new live. The effort to separate the races in living districts, and to restrain Negroes from buying property where it is for sale and they have the purchase price, has made much headway in the past few years, especially in the Southern States, both by individuals in association and by councilmatic ordinance. The effort here in New York has not had the sanction of the law, and is not likely to have it, but the public sentiment favoring it is strong and growing. But our enterprise real estate operators continue to hold the vast volume properties they have and to add to them as the demand grows. Does slavery exist in the Philippine islands? The statement has been given wide circulation in the United States that it does as made by Dean Worcester, secretary of the interior of the Philippine islands. Ex-Judge James F. Tracy of the Philippine Supreme Court denies the statement in the New York Times, as he rendered the decision on which the statement was made. The disposing of minor children for debt and other considerations is very common and of course works hardship in many cases. But it cannot be demised that a sort of slavery does exist among the planter interests, growing out of systems organized by Philippine panterm. The work of building up the man furtherest down in the Philippines is a great one, and in doing it American systems of education and general conduct have accomplished a great deal. The introduction of the English language has done more than any other one thing to make the Filipino of the future possible. ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. To the Editor of THE AGE I read your paper with over and increasing interest, but I wish you would not be so stalagy when you refer to make a statement about the Catholic Church in Negro. Some time ago I noticed an editorial headed "The Episcopal Church Row." I think it was published in your issue of *The Catholic Times* and I made part of the editorial and ask that you make a more definite statement as regards the Catholic churches of New York City; the Catholic churches of New York; the catededly unchristian, as is that of other churches of the Episcopal denomination. All the white churches in New York take the stance that the Catholics are believers, and the Catholics by encouraging rather than demanding attendance of their people at St. Benedicta, which is also attended by large numbers of white Catholics. I hardly need to add that this is like damning with faint praise. As a matter of actual fact, there are persons in most churches who feel just as the "rowing Epacophilus," but ruling powers in the Catholic Church, even in prejudiced Baltimore, consider the question of the color of the colored membership, and the trend in the management of affairs in the Universal Church is to limit, discourage, and to avoid the colored members, the colored members, the establishment of "Jim Crow" churches. You will and do admit that such Catholic churches are as fiercely colored as other churches, likewise of other Catholics, thus differing totally from the "Jim Crow" church of the independent or Protestant churches. Conditions as regards "Jim Crowism" are fiercely colored, and time, so far as Catholic churches are concerned, and it is only a matter of time when nothing of the kind will exist except by desire of Negro Catholics them- In this connection I would call your attention to a universally known fact beheaded in Church, toward separate churches for races, German Catholics are free to attend any Catholic church nearest their residence, but not to any other. German Catholics establish German Catholic churches wherever possible, and this against the expressed policy of the late 19th century in the United States to adapt themselves to American ideals where such ideals were not contrary to Catholic faith. So it is that we have Catholic churches, and all of the various races which make up the Catholic Church. The members of the races seem to desire to be Catholic, but they are allowed to establish those separate churches as a matter of concession, but none of them is permitted to harbor Catholic from worshiping at their places. So that a church established as a mission for Negroes is not primarily a "Jim" mission, but a mission of the same footing as German Catholic, Italian Catholic and other Catholic churches, who for racial and other reasons, prefer to be with people of the nationality. It is true, too, that unless the church universal allowed them this peripheral church would lose a certain degree of its missionary potential which can be had in no other way than by handing them together according to tradition. Negroes have done great work in the Catholic Church of which the modern world is not aware. At one time, manly, black people in the Roman Catholic Church and people of mixed blood than all others not together. Your Cardinal Archbishop will inform you that he has no authority to deny any Catholic privileges of the church except upon conditions applicable to all. The oldest university in all the world is St. John's University, owned by 10,000 students at Lima, Peru, was founded by a Negro Catholic bishop in the year 1780 or thereabouts, after which he built the Catholic If Catholics encourage colored Catholics to worship at St. Benedict's as a master of racial prejudice it is surprising that they follow them there to worship in the church, and that the missionary your words carry. A Catholic church for Negroes is not a "Jim Crow" church, but is designed to enable the church to keep in clearer touch with them in the community, and to continually be better. There is no better friend of the Negro on earth than this same old church, and Negroes of power and infusion, like the editor of THE AOI, should give favor to them. The Negro churches are often abolished in America it will be done by Catholic whites who are being taught correctly that "God is no respector of person." When you find a white Catholic priest in your church, the tribe in church matters be assured he is dispossessed to his church teaching. You can readily see that the Roman See could not permit any permanent growth of Ethiopian church that there cannot be separate Catholic denominations, in the same sense as the separate colored Protestant denominations, as this would impair the secrecy of the Protestant charge against the Roman Pope that he leaves no means entitled to extend his religious dominions. Granting that, you may rest assured that he never do anything that would future Pope produce a "Jim Crow" Catholic deposition. Personally, I believe that at this time any kind of separation in the Catholic church should be American place, for the very reason that motives are easily understood, not only by our separated Protestant brethren, but by many Catholics themself, in the situation prevailing outside the church. Please do not understand this in any sense as a criticism of our Protestant brethren. Very respectfully yours, G. B. Bromer, Former Editor Sunday Morning Echo, Tacoma, Wash. FOURTH AMERICAN PEACE CONGRESS Among the speakers at the Fourth American Peace Congress held here May 1, 2 and 3 were Andrew Carnegie, Congressman Richard Berthold, former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks, Booker T. Washington, who spoke the first day Dr. Washington's address in part as follows: "The schools and colleges have a great opportunity to make themselves felt in creating a public sentiment against war between nations. World peace will come largely through a gradual process of education of right public sentiment. "In many respects the same principles that bring about peace between individuals can be applied to nations, but it cannot be done in a day; in fact, the most lasting and fundamental things are of slow growth. "Many now living can remember the time when in this country it was thought to be not disgraceful for a business man or a public man to get intoxicated or to be known as a common drunkard. Through education of public sentiment the individual to-day who is known to drink to excess is excluded from business and public office in a very large measure. "It was once true in this country when the man who carried one or two pistols and perhaps a bowie knife on his body was looked upon as a brave man. Through education of public sentiment such a man to-day is looked upon as a coward and a coarse specimen of humanity." "It was once true in this country, as well as in other countries, that the habit of duelling was countenanced and the participants were looked upon as heroes. That day has passed. If two business men in St. Louis having some disagreement on business should get out into the street and attempt to shoot out their adversaries they would be disgraced in the commercial world. Then why nations should be permitted to settle their differences by the use of shot and powder than is true of individuals. "Throughout the civilized world we have learned that it is not safe to permit the two most interested parties in a dispute to settle their differences, but the differences are settled by a disinterested party. This has all come about through education of public sentiment." "Only within the last few years in our own country, I am sorry to say, it was a common habit for individuals or groups of individuals who suspected a man of committing crime to band themselves together and lynch or burn the individual without trial before a proper tribunal. Public sentiment, I am glad to say, has been brought to bear upon the disgraceful habit of lynching until we have reduced the number of lynchings in this country to less than a third or fourth of what the number was twelve or thirteen years ago; in fact, during the last four months we have only had thirteen of these disgraceful crimes against civilization as compared with twice that number a year ago. "In another respect the schools and colleges can perform an important task in bringing about international peace. The time is at hand when in all of our schools the man of peace, of industry, of scientific attainment and generosity should be exalted in our teaching above the man of war. We must teach the youths of this country that it is just as noble for one to live for his country as it is to die for his country on the battlefield, so that schools in the present and in the future will spend less time in teaching students of the great battle-fields, but we should point them to the great grain fields of the world. In our school books and in our class rooms we should teach the youths of the land not so much the names of the great man-killers, but the names of the great man-saviours. "I believe within a few years through the education of public sentiment that the name of Mr. Andrew Carnegie will be exated as the hero of peace as much as the name of Napoleon Bonaparte as the hero of war. Mr. Carnegie has given and is giving his life and second not in dividing morality of living men, but in counseling shows use. Prior to the adoption of public sentiment in the future the greatness of a nation will be measured not by the tone of bed and arm and armor plains which it possesses, but by its service to the world. The greatness of nations in the future will be measured not by the number of war vengeance that it finds, but by the number of schools and useful industries that it keeps in existence. It will be measured not by the number of men killed, but by the number of men saved and lifted up. We must once to judge the greatness of a nation in terms of tones, but judge it in terms of service. There is no more justification why the place of a nation should be found by its tone of lead and iron than there is why the greatness of an individual should be gauged by the number of pistols or daggers or bowie knives that that individual carries on his body. In the future a nation will be judged, if we do our duty in creating public sentiment, not by the number of idle men enlisted as soldiers, but by the number of its producers. "War between nations is not only wastful in the highest degree, but brutalizing. War means destruction. Peace means construction. Millions Expended in Wrong Direction. "It is a good deal with a nation as it is with an individual. When it once gets started in the wrong direction it is not easy to stop. Within the last ten years Great Britain has increased its expenditure on its navy. from $174,000; to $222,000; Germany from $47,000,000; to $110,000,000; the United States from $80,100,000; to $132,000,000. Few sane men will dare question whether or not it would have been wiser to have spent this tremendous sum in the education and enlightenment of the people of these countries instead of investing it in iron and lead which will prove a body of death about the neck of these nations. A shot from one cannon can destroy in a single moment that which it has required years to create. "In the last analysis, the carrying of a pistol or gun on one's person or keeping them in his home does not protect an individual. I should be ashamed to live in a community where I depended for the safety of my life upon the use of lead and powder. The greatest protection that an individual can have is in his service to the community and the same is true of nations. "Not many months ago I was in Denmark. As many of you know, in Denmark there is tremendous public sentiment in favor of complete disarmament, of getting rid of army and navy. When I asked the Danish people how, if they got rid of their army and navy, they meant to protect themselves, they replied that they meant to protect themselves through their service to the world; that they meant to supply Europe with a large part of its dairy and poultry products, and that in proportion as they let Europe understand that it was dependent upon them for a large part of the necessities of life that this would prove a greater protection than either army or navy would bring about. "A nation cannot teach its youths to think in terms of destruction and oppression without brutalizing and blunting the tender conscience and sense of justice of the youths of that country. More and more we must learn to think not in terms of race or color or language or religion or of political boundaries, but in terms of humanity. Above all races and political boundaries there is humanity. That should be considered first; and in proportion as we teach the youths of this country to love all races and all nations we are rendering the highest service which education can render to the world. "For years we have been sending our missionaries to Japan to teach them Christianity, to teach Japan our methods of industry and civilization. The Japanese have learned to believe in us, have thought that we were sincere and in earnest in our endeavor to help them. But our nation is placed in an awkward position when a few thousand of the Japanese come to our country and attempt to put into practice the very lessons of economy and industry which we have taught them, and in return for this we attempt to humilate them and degrade them as a people. Such a course is unworthy of our civilization. I pity the white man in America who is afraid to stand up in open competition in the commercial world by the side of a few thousand Japanese. "The Great Book, in whose teachings we believe, says in effect that which is temporal passes away, but that which is spiritual remains. Let us teach the youths of America that in proportion as we cling to the higher and not lower things that our nation will be made strong, useful and influential throughout the world."

Nashville, Tenn., May 11—Moherty has closed in for the year. Walmart University must out its college and normal graduates host work. The best-earnedarsen was presented himowering by Dr. J. A. Emmer, president. At a meeting of the Nashville Negro Board of Trade last Thursday night there was some discussion regarding the publication of the list of contributors to a campaign fund of $1,000 to campaign for the sum an AH-40 net ante city authorities for the purchase of a house for the purchase of N. Johnson, the chairman of the committee campaigning for the $1,000 which has been secured, made the statement that seventy-five per cent of the money was donated by the white people of Nashville. It was a "primer" for the colored brothers who have been involved in the self-helping coalition of the race as evidenced in the campaign just closed. In spite of the fact that Andrew Carnegie is contributing $25,000 for the library and the city authorities $5,000 for the establishment the constructive and supportive Nashville body of colored citizens are still worrying over a site. They have been "demanding, commanding, resisting and objecting" to a matter which will finally be settled by the library itself. In connection with the Carnegie representation, it seems never to have occurred to these forces that Mr. Carnegie will use to it that the city of Nashville makes the wisest possible use of the money contributed for the establishment of library for the Negroes of Nashville. It is a matter to be regretted that intelligent Negroes in a city like Nashville would not come together in a plan as would convince the people of the other race that Negroes could cooperate with each other in all things and then make it easy for the better element of whites to work together with Negroes, thus this library matter every "self-appointed" leader has been trying to adjust the affair to his own satisfaction and has made a muzu of things. They have simply engaged speeches of whole thing in the people finally settle the matter of a library site. If the Negroes are not pleased, it will be enough for the whites to explain by saying, "You Negroes could not agree among yourselves to settle your fight over the library site."

PIONEER efforts, even when bearing the stamp of merit, usually encounter many trials and tribulations in the beginning. Instead of gently gliding over the provisional path strewn with rosette, as a rule a path is covered over which are scattered brick-bath, stones and different varieties of debris. So when the Negro Players, who opened suspiciously Monday at the Cinema Theatre, Philadelphia, consoled to the public, using the program and medium, that they aspired to do something out of the ordinary—something not tainted with conventionalism—there were many who began to wonder if the Negro Players were really ambitious to thine as disciples of Thespis or whether they were candidates for a Carnegie model for bravery. 4 There are customs and practices in戏 on the stage the same as in other avenues of endeavor. To disregard them and show some pretence at originality is indeed a pioneer effort—a heroic effort. Very narrow have been the theatrical confines in which the colored performer has been permitted to roam, and the aims and purposes of the Negro Players will be considered by some, very likely, as too ambitions; but those who express such views do not believe in progress. Surely no one who believes in the advancement of the colored theatrical profession can object to the following intentions, as promulgated by the Negro Players: The Negro Players is a company formed to produce theatrical life to tomorrow and yesterday, with original songs and dances. This company, it is hoped, will be the means of bringing to the stage our young people with talent and experience, but have had no opportunity. This company of Negro Players is a pioneer effort and a worthy one, we believe, and one deserving of your sympathy and support. We will endeavor to please—never to offend. The Negro Players are appearing under the direction of the Pioneer Negro Amusement Company. This week "The Old Man's Boy," styled as a little Negro play with music, written and produced by Alex Rogers and Henry S. Creamer, is the offering. The play is in three acts. The first two acts consist of singing, dancing and dialogue. The third act is out of the ordinary for a colored show, as an opportunity is given to demonstrate what Negroes can do along dramatic lines. There is not a musical number in the act. In the first act the members of the company are seen in their street clothes rehearsing at the theatre. The second act gives players an idea of what a dress rehearsal is like, while the home of Hiram Wailow is shown in the third act. The customers have been chosen with taste and some of the numbers are elaborately named. Many of the members of the company have been selected from the amateur ranks and stand high in their respective communities. Among those appearing with the Negro Players are Andrew Bishop and Cassie Norwood, who have been actively identified with entertainments given by St. Philip's P. E. Church, New York City; Alice Gorgas, a choirist at St. Thomas P. E. Church, Philadelphia, and Ruth Cherry, of New York. Each of these youngsters has a prominent part in the show. Miss Gorgas does the principal solo work; Miss Cherry participates in the most ambitious dance numbers; Mr. Bishop has one of the leading speaking parts and Mr. Norwood not only talks but sings. Harrison Stewart was the hit of the show Moody evening. He has led a varied career since his success at the Pekin Theatre some years ago, and is now coming into his own again, having steadily developed as a comedian under adverse circumstances. Mr. Stewart's experience at the Pekin, while helpful, tended to give him a contracted view on many things theatrical, which his wanderings and experience have broadened. His vaudeville skirt with his wife Viola Stewart, scored heavily, and he was compelled to sing extra choruses to "Get That Idea Out of Your Head." His work in the last act with Alex Rogers when legitimate: acting is required gives additional evidence of his talents. 'Alex Rogers has but a few lines in the second act and does most of the pretentious dramatic work in the last act. There is not a Negro in this country better fitted to play character roles than he. Mr. Rogers has been allowing his histrionic talent to slumber for the past three seasons, due to conditions in the colored theatrical profession being at a low ebb, but with the rising of the theatrical tide he is bound to make his mark as a playwright and an actor. Henry S. Creamer has blossomed out in a dual role—that of actor and stage director. A feature of the show is the dancing, and to Mr. Creamer is due the credit. Strutting about on the stage like a peacock counts for naught with the Negro Players, and unless you are efficient in footwork your presence is not desired. The dancing numbers put on by this small aggregation are the best I have seen in any colored show. There is not one weak number—all of them are applause getters. In fact, the people dance about as they do in Broadway shows. The dancing eclipses the singing. Ruth Cherry, a pretty little dancer, with very substantial underpinnings, works as if she had been on the stage for years. This wee bit of a miss is already a graceful dancer, and if she continues to study the terpischorean art should rank high as a dancer. Robert Murray has already chosen a dancer far above the ordinance, and he was one of the bright grandsons of day evening. He was also a member by Maude Gardner, and has been a dancer since. DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS sings two numbers. His tenor voice is still refreshing and has not lost any of its sweetness. His first number, "Lackawanna Lee," should be changed, as the lyrics are more suited for a female singer, "Lary Love," in the second act, assisted by chorus, shows Mr. Copeland at his best. Alice Georgas has an audible judgment in her selections and Monday evening was enclosed both times she sang. She is one of the most promising buds in the show. Her soprano voice is rich in quality, which she uses expressively. Arthur H. Payne arethagens the singing department by his presence, and his solo work was highly appreciated. Charles Gilpin, who is recognized as one of the most versatile character actors in the colored theatrical profession, has but a hit in the first act, but his part is very essential and he rises to the occasion and makes his role stand out conspicuously. Andrew Bishop never set foot on the professional stage until Monday, but in playing the part of *Hiram Wilson Jr.*, his stage presence, talk and gestures would do a professional proud. He has some pathetic lines to put over, which he does effectively. The situation at the closing of the second act, when *Hiram Wilson Jr.*, who is considered a big boob in the show, leaves with his wife and baby for home, although *Hiram Wilson, Sr.* has told him to return to the fireside alone, is quite a dramatic scene. The face of the "prop" baby used in this scene should be turned toward the audience, as there were several day evening when laughed inopportune moments when the baby was only a bundle of some kind. Cassie Norwood and Viola Stewart get a big hand in the second act in their song, "You've Got to Rag It." and on opening night were compelled to respond to several encounters before the audience would cease anandering. Lavinia Rogers has temporarily abandoned her mallinery business in New York and is back on the stage. She plays the part of Mrs. Merritt Wilson, mother of Hiwon Wilson, Jr., creditably filling the bill. James Rose Europe conducted the orchestra Monday evening. All the musical numbers used in the show are by Negro composers. This is not mentioned to display race animus or selfishness, but to show that Negroes are beginning to appreciate their own works. At entertainments I have seen colored artists on programs rendering vocal and instrumental numbers, and not one by a colored composer. Using all musical numbers in a colored show written by Negro composers is an encouraging sign. In naming the company "The Negro Players" the managers are again to be congratulated. There are some Negroes who might object to the name, but to ask them to give you go-ahead and for them to do something only display their lack of self-respect for the race with which they are identified. I have no particular affection for the term "Negro," but as usage has made us a legatee of the term, just as it has done the Indian, although he is not born in India, it behooves us to accept, it and make it stand for something. Our lack of ideality regarding ourselves as a rule is one of our beetsetting sins. And yet we expect others to respect us as Negroes when many of us do not respect ourselves. The white man's idea of a Negro seems to be an uncoath, uncultured, ignorant, submissive person, who believes in race inferiority on account of color. We should encantate bim of this erroneous perception of many of us in light completion, seek to "pass" for white among the Caucasians, while some of darker hue who imagine they can "pass" as an Indian, Filipino or associate themselves with other races much inferior to the African Negro make a pathetic attempt to do so. And yet they expect the Negro to be respected. Even if the Negro Players represent new ideas the large audience at the Casino Theatre Monday evening showed in no uncertain terms that it welcomed the change—a change from slap-stick and a ridiculing of the race—to dramatic work, minus the crudities of method, acting full of human interest wherein the Negro is shown as a man among men, possessing a heart and finer feelings the same as others. The minstrel man, with his big, wide mouth and bladder jaws and the colored comedian with his dice, razer, bottle of gim and inclination to fluster others of their money, were all right in their time, but they have served their purpose. They were types that furnished work for colored performers, but they also created wrong impressions of the Negro race as a whole, which must be corrected, and such theatrical organizations as the Negro Players should do the educational work. It is true that the Negro Players are very much different from the rest. To close the show with a dramatic sketch, minus singing and dancing, in which paths and comedy are allied, is quite a departure; to get much of the talent from the churches of the various cities is also something new; to give youngsters who have never put foot on the professional stage prominent parts is also unusual. It is true that pioneer efforts encounter many trials and tribulations in the beginning, but there are exceptions to the rule. Maybe the Negro Players will be an exception. Let us hope so. Anyway, a new era is dawning in the colored theatrical profession. WILL SMART SET GO OUT? WILD SMART SET Some talk is going the rounds that this week with the Smart Set Company. No 1, not going out next season. At this writing it is said that the question is unsettled, owing to the inability of Charles E. Barton and S. H. Dudley to come to terms. The company closes the season this week in Philadelphia. All preliminary arrangements have been placed for putting out the Southern Smart Set Company, headed by S. Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt. The company has been booked to appear in the North and South. The Wrong Mr. President' is the name of the new president in which the Whitney will appear.

WHITE) nations and colonies of New York's population, both white and colored, assembled at Manhattan, Casino Thursday evening. May 8 when James Reese Europe, conductor, and William H. Tyters, assistant conductor, with the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra of 145 musicians, appeared in their regular Spring musical festival. When Conductor Europe stepped to his pedestal and swung his baton for the opening chords of the "Clef Club March" the commodious auditorium was well filled with the music-loving folks who came early to hear the orchestral program. Before it was concluded the Casino was packed—the dance-loving folk coming in late and crowding into every available space. The costumes of the ladies represented every imaginable style, from the severe tailor suit to the latest Parisian creation, the split-hobble. The barbarian splendor of the Orient was rivaled by the display of jewelry, extending even to golden anklets and diamondheeled and buckled slippers. Conductors Europe and Tyers, with the orchestra, were given an ovation, their past performances being a warrant as to what the program of the evening had in store for their hearers. Anticipations were realized and the numerous encores called for and graciously responded to by the conductors and performers gave to those present a rare musical feast. This was the seventh appearance of this organization before a New York audience and marked a distinct advance in their work. There was a finish and harmonic unity not attained in any previous effort, and in the close and sympathetic relation between the conductors and musicians little was left to be desired. Especially was this noticeable in Coleidge-Taylor's semi-classic, "Deep River," in which the orchestra followed with faithfulness and fidelity every shade and inflection of the conductor's interpretation. The tempo in this number was accelerated perhaps a shade too much, the allegro swing in which it was played at times preventing the beauty of Taylor's composition from being grasped and appreciated by the audience. The importance of tempo was emphasized in the rendition of Europe's latest composition, "Breezy Rag." played on this occasion for the first time. It was played at first in a slow tempo that seemed to hold back the lift of the melody and to an extent destroyed the catchiness of the movement. The popularity of the composer compelled an encore, and in responding the tempo was increased. The acceleration of the time obviated the defects of the first rendition and the "Breezy Rag" took the audience by storm on its own merits. The "Junk Man Rag," a composition by Chas. Luckey. Roberts, one of the youngest of our composers, was a bright bit and met the approval of the vast audience. Young Roberts is a clever composer and bids fair to become a notable addition to the ranks of Negro musicians. Will Tyers conducted his peculiar "Maori," and under the sway of his baton the orchestra brought out almost to perfection the melodic vagaries that mark Tyers' compositions. Tyers conducted also in several of the vocal numbers. His work was marked by a sympathetic control of the instruments that added much to the enjoyment of the songs. He subordinated the instruments to the voice and the audience was able to hear not only the tones of the voice but the words of the songs as well. "La Rumba" was rendered with the composer, J. Tim Brymn, conducting. Arthur (Dooly) Wilson made a hit in singing "I'm the Guy." He introduced some original bits in the song that won favor. Wm. Cooper entertained with some of the specialties that have kept on the "big time." Tommy Peters and Ethel Williams, announced as the "originators of the Texas Tommy dance," made the audience sit up and look at their demonstration of that now famous dance. The amount of exhausting energy put into the performance made it impossible for them to respond to calls for more. In the last number on the program, "Clef Club, Chant," Conductor Europe used a section of brass instruments not used in other numbers. The effectiveness of the orchestra was greatly increased by this addition to the volume of tone and emphasized the main defect of the symphony, organization. The scarcity of brass and the predominance of strings in the orchestra weakened the volume of tone in most of the numbers rendered, which required a strength and virility of tone impossible to produce from stringed instruments. The following is the program as rendered: Clef Club March, Europe. Clef Club Sym- phony. In My Harem," Berlin, sung by Fred Douglas. Dance of the Marionettes, Woolford, Clef Club, Symphony Orchestra. I'm Goldberg, sung by Arthur (Douglas) Wilson. "I Want to Be Somebody's Baby Boy" "I want to be Fred Ervin, Hugh Woolford, accompanying "Nights of Gladness," Stern, Clef Club Symphony Orchestra. "Mine," Alfred Solman, sung by J. A. Ras. Jones "Seafaring of Roses," Hager, Cef Club Symphony Orchestra "English Rag," Gus Edwards, sung by Tom Rebell "Horn," Twers, Cef Club Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the composer, Wm. H. Twers "Hindu Garoo," S. N. Edmund, sung by Wen. Prasad. Jock Man Rat, Chas. L. Roberts, Graf Wilson, and Roberts, Graf Wilson, Cooper to specialist La Rumba, Brynn, Clef Club, Symphony orations issued by the composer, J. Tim Ryan. "Fukushima," Cook, on by Frank T. Price, "Deep River," Coleridge Taylor, Cliff Club "Swing-ing," Cook, Chef Club Symphony Orchestra. "Champ Chow," Europe, Chef Club Symphony Orchestra. At the conclusion of the concert program the floor was cleared and the orchestra musical Association furnished music to the delectable ensemble of which the merry dancers waited, two-topped, schottisch and tangued until Old Sol's morning rays dimmed the glitter of Edison's arcs and incandescents.

Defeats Shaw After returning from their Southern trip with a better record than any other team, both financially and in regard to the number of important games won, the baseball squad representing Shaw University again lost Saturday, May 3, at the State Fair Grounds at Raleigh. Brooks, a portier for the A. & M. College at Greenhaven, turned the trick. The game was interesting and exciting and furnished many thrilling incidents. Horrington, a youngster who has been showing up well in right field, and who had previously brought in most of Shaw's runs, practically dished out the game to the "farmers" in the ninth inning when his costly Black Houdini Original Colored Escaped and Hand- cuffed King from Germany I should like to hear from some Theatre Man- ager, address GFO ZAMBASA, care Master's School, Dobb's Perry, N.Y.
