Find That National Democratic Fair Play Association is Composed of Hungry Office Seekers. "SEGREGATING" THE RACES Now the Colored and White Laborers in the Navy Department Have Been Ordered to Separate During Mind Thing. Special to THE NEW YORK AME. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—Since the attempt of the National Democratic Fair Play Association, or more fittingly characterized as the "disseminator of race prejudice," to start trouble in the office of Recorder of Deeds, and the discovery of Senator O'Gorman and other statesmen that the association has been organized to throw out Republicans and supplant them with Democrats, tearing down the civil service bars at random, the organization has been less in the limelight, as the true mission of the hungry would-be-office-holders has been exposed. Even the yellow journals who have been very liberal in giving the association space have become parsimonious, paying but little attention to what the spoilers are saying or doing, while the conservative journals, such as the Washington Herald, have begun to ridicule the National Democratic Fair Play Association for its hypocrisy, greediness and un-Americanism. Tried to Fool Senator O'Gorman. Senator O'Gorman, who was asked to investigate the office of Recorder of Deeds, the association having found a white women who thought she had a grievance, has been convinced that the spoilers were merely trying to use him as a tool. Finding that the charges had been preferred by one whose record shows that she is incompetent, and that the association was trying to start a race controversy to get hungry Democrats work. Senator O'Gorman has ceased considering the association seriously, as have other Senators. There is no denying that color prejudice is on the increase since the Democrats have taken possession at Washington. There are hundreds of white and colored citizens who find it difficult to understand why the capital city of the United States should be disgraced by these radical outbursts, which makes the United States a laughing stock among the other Nations. Even the laborers who work in the Navy Department have been separated. Rumor has it that Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, chanced to see the colored and white laborers eating side by side at noon hour. While they were eating from separate dinner pails objection was made to them sitting side by side and eating. The "social equality" bugaboo was raised, and an order was issued that the white and colored laborers separate during meal time. An Asinine Regulation. In the Bureau of Printing and Engraving the colored and white girls have been separated since the visit of Mrs. Wordrow Wilson and Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. Many of the white girls have protested against the segregation order, as they were on very friendly terms with the colored girls. It is acknowledged that the colored girls are more efficient and have been of much aid to the white girls. Now every afternoon in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving you can see the colored girls through with their work an hour or more before the white girls, and the latter looking at their former associates for help. The colored and white employees in the government service have been working together for decades. Theunity of those who are clamoring to the segregation of races is plainly evident to all who are not swayed by our prejudice; for if the working side is side of the colored, and white employees for years and years has not brought about calamitous conditions, what logical argument can be made that is necessary to adopt such a narrow view now? The majority of the chiefs of the divisions do not take kindly to the new order of things, as it interfere with the efficiency of the office. But what are they to do? They appreciate that the chiefs introduce the rules of office from a political and not a business standing. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga. Delivers Principal Sermon Preparations Being Made to Wipe Out $4,000 Indebtedness in the Fall-Rev. Wm. P. Hayes Has Raised $20,445.22. Last Sunday, May 18, marked the thirty-fifth anniversary of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, and the second anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. Wm. P. Hayes, Jr., and in celebration of the dual anniversary special services were held in the morning and at night, at which times the Rev. C. T. Walker, D.D., L.L.D., pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Augusta, Ga., and a former pastor of Mt. Olivet, preached, Mt. Olivet Church was organized in March, 1828, by the Rev. D. W. Wisher, and was first located in Garnett Hall in West 260th street. The church was located later, first in 37th street, and then in Grand Union Hall, Seventh avenue, between 33rd and 34th streets. Finally the congregation moved to the present location, 161 West 33rd street. The church building is one of the most imposing edifices owned by a Negro Baptist congregation in this country. The church has hurt four pastors, the Rev. D. W. Wisher, the Rev. C. T. Walker, the Rev. M. W. Gilbert and the Rev. W. P. Hayes, Jr. REV. WM. P. HAYES, D. D. In the two years of the Rev. Mr. Hayes' pastorate there have been added to the church membership 0.25 communications. The present enrollment is about 1,000. The church property is valued at $10,000, and it is clear of all indebtedness except a mortgage of $4,000. A great rally is planned for the fall in which it is hoped to raise sufficient funds to wipe out this debt. An innovation introduced by the present pastor was the abolishing of table collections. All collections are raised by means of passing plates to the people. It was thought at first that this plan would not be successful, but in the two years of the Rev. Mr. Hayes' pastorate the collections have amounted to $20,455.52. Collections are taken in from five to eight minutes. Money raised during 1911 accounted to $11,828.01, and through 1912, including the first quarter of 1913, $21,601 were raised. Disbursements for 1911 were $10,860.80 and for 1912 and first quarter of 1913, were $8,535.43. Nearly 2,500 Hear Dr. Walker. At the morning, services on Sunday from two thousand to twenty-five hundred people heard Dr. Walker's sermon. The morning subject was "The true method of spiritual growth," and the subject in the evening was "Prayer for the Sacrament." Dr. Hayes referred to the progress of the church during the two years of his pastorate and thanked the members of the church and the people of New York City for their cordial co-operation and support. Collections during the day were Sago. Special music furnished by the choir was an attractive feature of the day's services. H. Gladstone Marshall is chairman and organist. In the administration of affairs of the church the pastor is given cordial and hearty support by the board of trustees. The following men compose the board: Joseph J. Yancey, president; Charles S. A. Minetree, vice-president; J. R. Wiggins, financial secretary; David C. Moon, recording secretary; Austin Burge, treasurer; John D. Younger, John A. Ross, J. Mortimer Funis, Morton K. Averill, John H.

A number of auxiliaries are organized among the members of the church and Negroes of South Bay Say He Insulted Them—Ask Poor Breaking Date, Was Given Money and Royalty. Entertained—Actually Like an Angry Grizzly Bear, Left Town Without Thanking Us for Hospitality Shown. Special to The Roosevelt Age: SEATTLE, Washington, May 19—Prof. W. E. Dubois, who is the candidate for the Haitian minister, is being criticized by the Negro clientele here, who charge that he insulted them while their guest recently. Dubois to have incurred the disfavor of the Seattle residents by accepting their hospitality, but instead of showing his appreciation acted as "angry as a grizzly bear." Although he was paid for speaking, the date having been arranged for the request, he pocketed the money and left town without even thanking them who had made it possible for him to earn a nice sum. R. A. Scaar, D. Seventy-fifth street, gave the Act a representative the following account of Dubois' treatment of Seattle Negroes: R. A. Scaar, Tells of Visit. "During the month of April Dr. Wm. R. B. Dubois made inquiries of local parties as to whether or not a date could be arranged for a lecture in this city during the month of May. A reception committee consisting of Dr. D. T. Cardwell, Attended A. R. Black and B. F. Tutt performed arrangements for May 4, and in the season Dr. Dubois arrived. "The committee provided auto rides about the city for the diversion of their distinguished guests and a royal collation was spread in his honor by Sam Stone, one of our leading citizens. "During the dinner Dr. Dubois was as morose and bactrian as an angry grizzly bear, and did not even express the least appreciation of the kindness extended him by Stone. Mrs. Beatty Ball entertained in his honor and similar lack of appreciation was shown. "Before his address the committee handed Dr. Dubois the amount of money mutually previous agreed upon as his compensation. At the close of his lecture, which was a sexual, received with disgust, Dubois insisted the committee that he did not want to be bothered by them the next day, and that he would telephone the members if he wanted anything. He beamed without telephone or answer, and without telephone, that made The author of the "Souls of Black Folk" seemed to be wholly soullene; and we hope that Harvard University and the State, of Massachusetts produces some better-bred people than our much heralded savant proved to be. COLLINS GETS JUDGMENT AGAINST C. LEROY BUTLER L. C. Collins has been awarded judgment for $4,500 against the Rev. C. Leroy Butler in the Supreme Court, the suit having been brought by Collins through his attorney, Charles E. Toney, to recover judgment for $70 with interest and cost. The suit is an echo of the days of the Metropolitan Mercantile Realty Company when Collins and Butler were on ultimate terms, and actively identified with the firm. Collins alleges that Butler took advantage of his friendship under straightened circumstances and converted his property to his (Butler's) own use. Epon such an allegation by Collins in the Supreme Court, judgment was given against Butler for the amount, and as the action is one in conversion it carries with it a body execution, which means that the Rev. Butler, if he does not pay the judgment, may be arrested and confined in prison for the unfulfilling take and misappropriation of Collins' property. Although Butler is reputed to be a man of means it is said by Counsellor Toney that he holds all of his property in his wife's name and long before this action was begun made such disposition of his property that it is difficult for lawful creditors to obtain satisfaction of their claims against him. J. ROSS STEWART, NOTED CHARACTER, DEAD J. Ross Stewart, a noted character during the reconstruction period, died Thursday evening, May 15, and was buried from the Broadway Tabernacle Sunday. Interment in Woodlawn Cemetery. The deceased was 78 years old. He was a close friend of ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback and other representative Negroes who were conspicuous directly after the close, twice a member of the Louisiana Legislature. Over twenty years ago he came to New York, and at his death was employed in the Custom House. A widow survives him. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH RAISES BIG SUM T. L. Moore, Mo., May 20—St. Pauls A.M.E. Church of this city laid on the table Tuesday night $7,541.15. On April 20 last year the church raised $5,060.00. The Rev. M. Sampon Brooks, D.D. pastor, will free this, the mother church of African Methodist in the West; from debt in August. Bishop I.B. Parks is enthusiastic over this excellent showing. COLORED REGIMENT FOR PENNSYLVANIA Special to The New York Times Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEMY Hawaiianism, May 14 Following a meeting of the State Speech, Representative Harry W. Bass the lower branch of the Legislature, by a vote of 162 to 1, passed a bill to organize a colored regiment of State militia last work. The measure had been previously passed by the State Senate. Question Being Asked by Many Regarding Emancipation Celebration. Robert N. Wood Has Had Himself Named Chairman of Commission to Run the Proposed Celebration. Gov. Sulzer has signed the bill appropriating $25,000 for the holding of a celebration in New York City to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. All indications are that the money has been unconsciously, appropriated to strengthen the political machine of the Wood-Carr faction above all else. When the legislators passed the bill and Gov. Sulzer affixed his signature making it a law, they were under the impression that the proposed celebration was to be free of politics and that the Negro citizens of the State of New York would form a non-partisan body and work hard to make the celebration a success. In naming the commission which is to arrange for the celebration, Robert N. Wood has had himself named chairman, although he is the leader of the United Colored Democracy of New York City. Associated prominently with him on the committee is James D. Carr, who is said to be the "power behind the throne" in the United Colored Democracy. Much ill feeling already exists over the personality of the commission, as there were Republican and Progressives who were under the impression that the professional politician would be conspicuous by his absence as a member, and that the numerical strength of Republicans, Democrats and Progressives would be equal. The claim is made that any attempt to make the celebration a political scheme to advance the interests of a few colored Democrats would prove fatal to the success of the proposed event. Although Robert N. Wood has never been exceedingly popular, he has been put on the defensive recently, due to the charges brought by D. E. Tobias and others, who aver that at the closing exercises of the school held at Public House No. 98, attended a meeting between 13th and 13th streets. Wood, in delivering the principal declared that white people were better than colored people; that Negroes owned no railroads, bridges, etc, and until they accumulated money and became identified with large commercial interests it was nonsensical to talk about being as good as the whites. It is said that. Wood reiterated this speech recently at the Equity Congress. D. E. Tobias, who was present, took exceptions to the statement alleged to have been made by Wood, and on the following Sunday at the session of the Equity Congress challenged Wood to a public debate on the subject. At the meeting Wood defended himself, declaring that he had expected to be criticized. To date he has refused to discuss the question in public with Mr. Tobias. Although Wood has succeeded in having Go Sulzer appoint him chairman of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission, he is said to have made the ridiculous statement to Chief Murphy, of Tammy Hall, that he had ninety-five per cent. of the enrolled colored vote lined up against Sulzer's pet primary bill. NEGROES ARE FARING WELL IN W. VIRGINIA Special to the NEW YORK CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 20—Our governor, Henry Drury Hatfield, who was elected by 10,000 votes, while the state at the same time gave Woodrow Wilson 45,000 majority, is a fighter and with the Negroes. His administration has given more plums to the Negro than any other governor. The following are now holding jobs, and it beats any state in the Union, North or South: John C. Gilmer, state librarian; Arthur Jackson, assistant state librarian; T. G. Nutter, auditor's office (legal department); R. W. White, printing clerk, secretary of state's office; Phil Waters, chief deputy clerk, Supreme Court of Appeals; all janitors' salary, $75 per month. There will be many other appointments later, including the assistant chief engineer of the capitol. There are also two Negro, guards at the state seni- tary. Joe Campbell and Henry Johnson. This is going some. TYLER IS NAMED Washington, D. C., May 13 — Ralph W. Tyler, recently Auditor of the U. S. Treasury, L. L. Nees, Department, has been elected by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business Leagues to the position of National Organizer. Mr. Tyler is to begin his duties at once. It is the understanding that Mr. Tyler takes the work until the meeting of the National League in August, and it is hoped that after the meeting of the National League in August arrangements will be perfected to obtain his services. CAMP FIRE GIRLS MOVEMENT Seventy Young Women Participate in Exercises—Two Houses Have Been Secured to Carry on Work—Miss Grace Dodge Gives Check for $1,000. Friday evening, May 16, at Odd Fellows Hall, 31 West 138th street, seventy young women, constituting the physical culture class of the Camp Fire Girls' movement among colored girls of the city, closed their year's work with appropriate ceremonies. In becoming costumes the members of the class performed all of their various physical exercises and folk dances under the direction of Miss Carribelle Cole, who has been their mentor as well as director since November, when they were organized. Miss Ida Radford presided at the piano during the exercises. At the conclusion of the exercises a dainty luncheon was served. The Camp Fire Girls' movement began September, 1012, upon the initiative of Mrs. James L. Curtis, the first vice-president of the Colored Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association, who formed different groups of girls at preliminary meetings, held from time to time at her home, 225 West 134th street, and finally organizing them into Camp Fire Girls Clubs. In response to the services she was commissioned by the Camp Fire Girls' movement as chief-guardian of the Camp Fire Girls' work of the Y. W. C. A. Other guardians associating and cooperating with her are Mrs. Bessie Rich, Miss Mae Clark, Miss Margaret Parker, Miss Forsett, Mrs. Bowser, Mrs. Yates Ladson and Mrs. Henry. Since December the Camp Fire Girls have held three club meetings each week and have organized a basketball club, which has met each Saturday evening at 7:30, which Mrs. Curtis chaperoned to West 63rd street, where they have had the use of a gymnasium in playing basketball from 8 to 9:30. Associated With Y. W. C. A. Miss Margaret Parker has shown great interest in the work by giving her time as instructor of this class free of charge. The work gave promise of clever liquid town and an enchanting fluence that the Young Women's Christian Association established a Junior Department as one of its activities, of which Mrs. Curtis was made chairwoman. At the closing exercises of the Camp Fire Girls Mrs. Curtis announced to the assembled girls and their friends that her prayers had been answered, and that in future they were to have proper facilities for all of the activities contemplated by the movement, and that with this end in view the Young Women's Christian Association had al- JAPANESE DENOUNCE LYNCHING OF NEGROES Big Meeting Held Last Week at Tokio, Japan, at Which a Protest Was Made Against Color Prejudice and Inequal Treatment. At a big meeting of Japanese held last week at Tokyo, Japan, in which students played a prominent part, speeches were made denouncing the existence of color prejudice in the United States, and the lynching of Negroes in the South was severely condemned. All the speakers agreed that the time had arrived when the Japanese must be given equal treatment with other people, and the aggressions of the whites in the world against the colored races were condemned. "God made the white and the colored people equal. Unless we claim equality we shall fail to carry out God's wishes," declared Prof. Nagal of Wauseda University. CARDOZO ACQUITTED OF SERIOUS CHARGE Special to THE NEW YORK ACK: WASHINGTON, D.C., May 20—Francis J. Cardozo, a well-known teacher in the public schools of the capital city, and at one time a principal of the Wilson School, was acquitted by a jury in Criminal Court No. 1 Saturday on the charges instituted against him by Estelle Slaughter, a seventeen-year-old pupil in the school. Upon cross examination the girl did not hold to some of her previous statements, and she appeared somewhat confused as to dates. Cardozo denied all the charges preferee to Slaughter and accounted for his whereabouts at the given by her. Among the character witnesses for the defendant were Capt. James F. Oyster, former president of the Board of Education. WANTS STRONGER CIVIL RIGHTS BILL HARRISBURG, Pa. May 17. - State Senator Snyder has introduced a bill in the Legislature to strengthen the civil rights law of Pennsylvania. The bill prohibits discriminations on account of race or creed in any place of public resort or accommodation. It also prevents publication of the fact that a place does not deserve Negro trade. The Alabama Conference of the M. M. E. Church is its 69th annual session, which ended at Wilmington, Del. Monday, adopted a resolution offered by the Rev. M. W. Thornton, approving the purposes of the bill and providing support in trying to secure its passage. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS "GRANDFATHER CLAUSE" INVALID Court Rules That Officials Must Register Negroes of Frederick, Md. DECISION IS UNANIMOUS Three Circuit Court Judges Hold That Disfranchisement Clause Is in Conflict with Fifteenth Amendment. City Officials to Accept Decision of Circuit Court—Negroes Will Vote at Local Elections in the Future. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE FREDERICK, Md., May 21.—The Negro citizens of this town within the last week have demonstrated what the thousands of disfranchised Negroes in other Southern States can do in securing just recognition at the polls as provided by the Constitution of the United States if an aggressive and concerted fight was properly made. Last week they attacked the election law which prescribed against Negroes voting at local elections, and the courts have decided in their favor, holding the law to be invalid and unconstitutional. Friday the judges of the Frederick County Circuit Court handed down a unanimous opinion declaring that the "Grandfather Clause" passed nine years ago by the Maryland Legislature, disqualifying Negroes from voting at city elections, was null and void and in direct conflict with the Fifteenth Amendment. Associate Judge Worthington, who helped to draft the imminent measure, concurred with Chief Justice Ursul and Associate Justice Peter. Associate Judge Worthington, who joined the, other members of the court during the law, unconstitutional, stated that the law did not permit in paring the law, being chaired by the committee, of which John S. Newman, ex-Senator Jacob Rohrbock, John Wood and John Francis Smith were members, he desired to state his position in the matter. He said about the time the Frederick law was framed eminent lawyers in Baltimore had devised the Poe amendment. The Frederick men followed this very closely, and did not go into an investigation as to the constitutionality of the law here. He said: "Instead of an educational test we placed a property clause. The Poe act contained a period of time and a linear descendant provision. "In the decisions of the United States Supreme Court the issue raised here has never been squared met. I had thought the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution did not municipalities, but I have recently found a dissenting opinion by Judge Hunt in a case in which he claims the amendment does apply to municipalities. I have concluded the law here is unconstitutional, and concur with my brothers in the opinion given." Case of Interest to Lawyers Judge Urner delivered the opinion in the presence of nearly every member of the bar. Testimony had been taken on the appeal of Mitchell Johnson, who was refused registration. About thirty other Negroes also were not registered, and all will now appeal to the election supervisors to have their names placed on the books. Former State's Attorney Arthur D Willard, counsel for the supervisors will inform the latter that the Negroes who applied should be registered, and their names will either be placed upon the books by order of the court or rejection day. This is practically similar to the Annapolis proceeding several years ago decided in the same way by the late Judge Morris of the United States District Court of Baltimore. An appeal was taken from this court, which is now pending in the Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision was reached after a conference of several hours by the court. In delivering the opinion Judge Urner said: "Without further reviewing the case we consider the act in conflict with its affirmation to the Court situation of the United States are therefore unconstitutional. The other qualifications, supplemented by Session 270-P, which in substance are, first the holder and payer of taxes on $500 and second, a person who voted prior to January 1, 1869, or who is a living male descendant of any person who voted prior to this time, are held as inappropriate parts of the voting qualification, thus invalidating and abrogating, thus invalidating and abrogating." "Our judgment is expressed in loo- ging with the decision of the Uni- lateral States Supreme Court and other loo- ging authorities and a desire to ado- rive to what we believe the higher law! City Attorney J. Edward Smith, whi- represented the registers in the case stated this evening that he did not expect the registers to take an appeal. He stated that it would now remain for the Mayor and adderem to determine whether an appeal shall be taken.

Many Japancse writers have taken the position in discussing the question that the American people cannot treat them "as they treat their Negro people, and anay Negroes have resented this Japan- ese position. But why? We have 10,- ‘oonp00 Negroes in the United States, but they have not one organization of their own of the many they have started since 1870 to protect and defend their rights as citizens under the Federal Con- atitution. They aécept what their white fellow citizens choose to heap upon them of abuse, discrimination and as- sassination without organized protest becked up with Negro dollars. Others accept the estimate of us we place upon @urseives, the “Atlanta Independent to the comtrary notwithstanding. “waver: have Gone"a when ‘the tawiass ‘De 5 othe te ‘pbad che nation {rom cach ead 3¢ Pennaytvania evence—one of thé grandest bouloverds inthe ‘world—rom the ‘imposing Capitol on the hill to.the amtiquated, ‘Insttioh White House low in the Kidwelt Bottoms. The lawless Democrats of the Jand, from Thomas Jefferson of Virgiaia to Thomas Woodrow Wilson of Virginia, the third-and twenty-cighth Presidents, when the power of the Govern- ment hasbeen committed to them, have never failed to fill Washington and the nation with confusion.” The ability to go wrong is bone of the bone-and flesh of the flesh of the lawless Democrats of the land. The movément to make Washington aod the Department of the Government too hot for Negro residents and office-holders was inaugurated with President Wilson, March 4 last; by lawless Democrats, mostly from the Souther States and led by their sort, aided and abetted by those who feel and think’ as they do from the other sections of the country. It is a saying faithful and true that the average Democrat is fewhere the highest and best type of citizen, Wher- ever found he thinks and’acts'as if he is bigger than the Government and better | than-hig fellow-citizens who do.not think and act as he does. The National Democratic Fair Play Association, to which we have directed, attention, is no Better than the lawless Democratic organizations that have gone before it, saturated with the mob-wrather spirit of rule a5 ruin, like the Kukuklan, the | Knights of the White Camelia and the Red’Shirt Riders of Reconstruction Days. As the Maryland “gentlemen” told General Rosalie Jones and her “votes for women” hikers last March, if you don't believe as they do about the Negro and other things you are considered an enemy, and so treated. A distinguishied Negro looker-on in Washington in a letter gives the follow- ing pengpicture of the passing show—the enacting tragedy in our national life that omens the wailings of Rachel weeping for her children in the grasp of the beast that knows no human feeling of brotherhood, but must have “the fiesh, with the blood thereof,” to complete the sin of the national offense: “We are sailing in thick weather here, We do not know our bearings and cannot read’our compass aright. The radical changes which’ we are con- fronting every day in the way of*discrimination in our great departments of the government have really stunned me. | did not think that even the influence of the Democratic party would be sufficient to set us apart every- where as a distinct and separate eptity in the nation. But eyph is the ones The-eolored clerke are being assembed and kept together in rooms apart from the whites. The'common Negro laborer in the Navy Yard must’not eat his dinner from the dinner pail which he has brought from home in the same reom with the commen white laborer. The edict is that this form of social ‘equality Fust not be tolerated. “Our colored Democratic leaders who have unceasingly found fault with colored Republicans because, as they allege, they, have not fought for their rights of our people, have nothing to say, for fear they might jeopardize! some prospective personal interest. | know of no greater or more consummate frauds than these fellows. | doubt very much that they will get any dis- tinguished official consideration. If they do not | ahall regret it, as a race man, | want our people of all parties properly and fittinly recegnized. it will help some.” ‘This is a sad picture—sadder for the Republic than for the Negro people, who are as one unler the Constitution with all other sorts of persons of the citizenship, and who, because of their numerical and other advantitious weak- nesses, the strength, the virtue of the nation is judged by in the judgment from which there never has as yet been any appeal. Victor Duruy, the French his- torian, in his useful history of the world (vol. iv, p. 712), says the War of Secession settled two questions definitely: The permanence of the American union, “with but one flag from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf,” and “the system of human slavery, which was abolished upon the continent, under the protection of that flag all were to be free men.” What was intended to be arcomplished by the slavery agitation and resulting war will Ue accomplished, but in its time and manner. It is not in the power ef man to stay the hands of the invisible clock to tick off the seconds of the years 01 the national existence and the destiny assigned it by the Almighty God, found in the ominous sign of the mystical thirteen original States. The danget now and has been been since 1856 in the thirteen Southern States. Out of them have come periodically all of the national problems of trouble—of politics, in- dustry, of taxation, of penology, of race. : “The history of the state,” says Ralph Waldo Emerson in Politics, “sketches in coarse outline the progress: of thought and follows at a distance the delicacy of culture and aspiration.” But everything depends upon the question as to whether the national ideal, “thougbt,” follows in its progress the devout Puritanism of Plymouth Rock or the slaveric licentiousness of the cavalicrism of Jamestown. The ideals of the Puritan and those of the cavalier are as different as those of the New England freeman and the Southern “poor white trash." The one has lifted the nation to its loftiest eminence in the Emancipa- tion Proclamation and war amendments and its millions of money to educate the Black South; the other has dragged it down to its lowest depths in denial of common rights and in the rule and ruin of mob law from 1868 to 1913. And now the nation has come to another parting of the ways, as it did in 1813, just a hundred years ago. Then we had the slave-holding dreamer, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, a Democrat, for President; now we have Woodrow Wilson, a scholastic Democrat of Virginia, for President. Will history repeat itself—will the Administration of President Wilson be one of the most incom- petent, troublous and disgraceful in the history of the country, as was that oi President Jefferson, just one hundred years ago? We hope not, but it promises to be so. and the National Democratic Fair Play Association, un- checked, will help:to make it so. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad” with the vanity of their own conceit, the poison of their own im- portance. Washington cannot be any better than Atlanta and its kind for a Negro to ive in; and it must, perhaps, become worse before it will become better. But here, as everywhere, it is the Negro’s duty to himself to face his problems of ‘life; liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as a brave citizen, a patient man, naking the most and not the least out of such opportunities, such as he enjoys. The helghts by great men AOUXhE and gained Were not attained by sudden itishe Rat they, while others slept. Were toiling upward tn. the nicht : ee | From this viewpoint there is anothe: side of the question to which the eyes need mot be shut: There are in the United States 10,000,000 Negroes who have not a member of their own in the Federal Senate and House of Repre- ‘sentatives, and only two members in thr legislatures of forty-eight States! And they are citizens of the country. Nor have they one daily or weekly news- paper properly supported. On the other hand, there'can be hardly 10,000 Japan: ese in’ the United States, proscribed aliens who cannot become citizens nor ‘own land; yet they are organized to the minute, and, standing upon their slender treaty rights as aliens, they demand and get more consideration and respect from the Government of the United States and. its people’ than glo the 10,000,000 Negro citizens. The man, the race, that stands on is honor and dignity and acknowledged rights, at home or abroad. will respect jtself and, compel others to respect it. ‘The Japanese nation has a population of not quite 53,000.00 peuple. but it has compelled the powerful governments of the world co’ respect it by standing on its honor and dignity and fighting to a finish when necessary for its rights The Negro will have t tear how to) do so, or accept the valuc of himself others pet us0e hin. . Jack Johnson was convicted, May 14 in the Federal Court, Judge Carpenter presiding, at Chicago, for violating the White Slave act, in the case of Belle Schrieber, the prostitute, of Pittsburg, whom he was convicted of taking <c Chicago for immoral purposes. ‘It ap- peared in evidence, however, that John- son sent the woman the money and that she went to Chicago of her own free will. And, far from even having sup- ported him, Johnson testified that he hac spent some $10,000 on the: woman— money he “had won slugging a white bruiser, July 10, 1910, and spent on a white prostitute who turned upon him when the test came, as such sort, black oe white, usually turn. Johnson stands to serve at hard labor ior five years, or pay a fine of $10,000, or both, @H tt There are no reasons why we should waste any sentiment upon Johnson and the fate that has overtaken him. At the time he was playing fast and loose with Belle Schrieber he was living with the white woman he brought from Aus- tralia and introduced as his wife, and av the time "he was accused of ahduct- ine Iucile Cameron, his present wife, he was living with, Mrs. Duryea as his wife, who committed suicide two weeks hefore his arrest.

It wes the apparent hounding and legal persecution of John- son to which Tam Aag took exception. * “WHATS IM A NAME?” “What's in a name? ‘A rose by an other name would smell as sweet.” So: would, but it would mot be 2 rose, bu something else with some other nam The name is everything—at the votin booths, at the paying teller’s window, 2 the tax office, in the chureh, in all of th active affairs of life, oa the tombston in the cemetery, in man’s book of life a birth and of death at the funeral. Ther is always in a name what the owner o it, and those who had it before him, pu Fin it | The living owner of the name is re ‘sponsible in a marked degree to all thos who bore it, in whole or part, befor him. Not long ago "we met in Salem Coun ty, New Jersey, a black dwarf, 2% by 3 feet, mamed Abram, with the manners of a child; soon.after, ia Camden Coun: ty, we met a mulatto, 7 by 4 feet, named Abraham, with the manmers of a giant and the voice of a fog horn; soon after in Mercer County, we met a reddish sandy-colored, freckled face man named Isaac, with the -manners of a stupid and stuttering voice it was hard to understand... Those men and those names stood for the degeneration of the first patriarchs of the Hebrew race in the Land of Canaan that bore them. So it goes. Before and long after the ‘Slavehold- ers’ Rebellion Negro «children were given Bible names almost without excep- tion, Nearly every female was “Aunt Dinah” and every male “Uncle Mose” o1 “Josh.” This cane about because the slave people devoutly believed in the Lord and the slave master.did not care to have his slaves with Gentile front names, mostly English in character, called by the names he gave his sons and daughters. In the.showdown at Appo- mattox Court House the slaves with the Bible names won and the slave masters with the Gentile English and other Eu- ropean race type names lost to the chil- dren of the Lord with his names—in- cluding: Abraham -Lincoin. Itis therefore of great moment to no- sce that the front games of Negroes have been steadily losing their Biblical character since their freedom, and that hey have as steadily lost influence with heir spiritual Lord; as, with the drop ping of the patriarchal names, especially 1: the large cities, they have fallen away. from the attendance and teachings of | fhe Sunday school and church and taken 1p more generally with the dance hall, he saloon and the sporting life that ‘burns the candle at both ends,” with ‘onsequent increase in the death rate ind increase of females over males in he vital statistics everywhere. There s nothing in all of this, say those who re hit. Of course mot.

WALTON) In two ways was the vaudeville entertainment and charity dance given by Aida Overton Walker at the New Star Casino Thursday evening, May 15 noteworthy—the general excellence of the vaudeville acts and the representative audience. Every act on the bill was classy, meritorious and worthy of laying claim to being a full-feded number of "refined vaudeville." Residents of New York and Brooklyn turned out en masse. All the numbers on the vaudeville bill were liberally applauded; all of them deserved this evidence of appreciation. The acts participating were Wilbur C. Sweatman, clarionetist; the Two Clippers, Allen & Morton, Downs and Gomez, Browny and his Happy Girls, with Kathlyn Jones, Hazel Thompson, Louise Cook, Nettie Anderson, Eibel Coleman, Miss Garner and Miss Bevens; Maggie Davis and Louis Seulsbury with the Porto Rico Girls- Ida Day, Bessie Vaughn, Lillian Wil- 3. ```markdown ``` AIDA OVERTON WALKER Katie Crippin and Tommie Peters and Kams, Hazel Creed, Theresa Dixon and Ethel Williams in the Texas Tommy dance. Miss Walker appeared twice on the bill. In her first number she sang the "Cleopatra Rag," and was compelled to respond to encores. She was next heard in "So Different from the Rest," assisted by Miss Pearl Crawford, who is unused to the footlights, but she did not show stage fright. As a fitting finale Miss Walker, in male attire, rendered several old favorite selections, reinforced by the female members of the Porto Rico Girls and the Happy Girls acts. When the curtain descended Miss Walker stood out in bold relief with the girls forming an effective background. The picture was a pretty one. Three charitable organizations profited by the entertainment. The Hope Day Nursery received $100, the White Rose Home $75 and the Eutopia Neighbhood $50. T. E. Proctor, Dr., was manager of the entertainment, Dr. Louis Baxter master of ceremonies and W. H. Vodery musical director. The program ladies were Odessa Warren-Grey, Lillian Marshall, Blanche Johnson, Ada Angram, Daisy Brymn, Nettie Black, Minnie Snowden and Esther Calloway. Last Thursday evening's entertainment should have taught Mrs. Walker one important lesson—that she and other colored artists of good standing can reap financial gain from the race without depending entirely on the white citizens. With the white managers of the big vaudeville circuits disinclined to book good colored acts, for some reason yet to be explained Miss Walker and other representative colored acts can find the colored amusement-goer offering a harbor of refuge. There is no reason why Miss Walker, heading a big vaudeville aggregation, such as appeared at the New Star Casino Thursday evening, should encounter any serious difficulty, touring the largest cities of this country—North, East, South and West—and playing in large halls or theatres conducted by colored people. A tour of this kind would prove a big success in more ways than one. What the Negro must learn is to believe in himself instead of depending too much on the white brother, who has, after all, been very good to us. We must learn to be more independent and appreciate the wonderful possibilities (commercial and, otherwise) that are constantly presenting themselves by reason of the peculiar position we occupy in this country. The unfortunate thing is that too many of us fail to attach any value to what the Negro does or says until it has been approved by the white man. I would like to see Miss Walker take out a road show, assisted by those who played a prominent part Thursday evening in making the entertainment a grand success. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

LAFAYETTE TO CHANGE HANDS? The report is in circulation that Martinson and Nibur are negotiating to sell the Lafayette Theatre, and that the deal is likely to be consummated this week. Several theatrical promoters have been seeking to get control of the house, but it is said that I. Fleegalman, formerly manager of the Crescent Theatre, and now head of the Consolidated Circuit, is likely to be the next owner. The Lafayette Theatre has been a paying proposition since February, with both policy and permitted colored patrons to sit on the first floor. The house is doing a big business. A high class bill offered the first half of the week drew large houses at each performance. Maggie Davis and Louis Balusbury, with the Porto Rico Grila, are playing a return engagement and scoring as usual. The Marshals have an entertaining act in which Marshall shows up strongly as a piano player. He is some more piano-key tickler, and the ivories, in his marches and rattime numbers, respond in animated fashion. He should "can" "Take Your Time." Too old. Miss Marshall wears some fetching costumes. The Griffin Sisters have been held over for another week, and are giving a new act and wearing new clothes. Gordon and Warren have a comedy sketch which is really full of comedy. Miss Walt Cotton, a petite girl, miss who must have an exceptionally strong set of molars does some thrilling work with her teeth. George & Gertie Dupree had a hard spot in following the Marshalla, but made good. The ushers at the Lafayette are Pauline Hutchinson, chief usher; Iva Johnson, assistant; Alice Paine, Mina Cotton and Nellie Dalley. NEW POLICY AT MANAGER OSTREICHER of the Franklin Theatre announces that commencing Monday, May 26, a new policy will be inaugurated; and that the Franklin will be turned into a moving picture theatre. There will be no vaudeville, but the best and latest motion pictures will be put on daily, together with special three-reel films. The price of adverts will be lowered to five cents for both afternoon and evening shows. On Wednesday and Sunday evenings ten cents will be charged as a special bill will be presented on these two evenings. The inability to get good colored vaudeville acts twice a week is given for the change of policy. Manager Oatrelcher says he would much rather give the best pictures on the market than present a bill in which many of the acts are either inferior or have been seen time and time again at the Franklin. Anna Cook Pankey and Mme. Dempierre were at the Franklin the first half, and repeated their former success. They continue to use an ocean of unnecessary talk in the first part of the act. Others on the bill were Clemo & Clem, May Mullin, in songs, and Raymond & Davis. NEW MANAGERS FOR CRESCENT THEATRE It is said that the Crescent Theatre is to make several changes in the personnel of its business staff next week, and that a number of new faces will be seen. It is hoped that in making the changes the colored people, who keep the house open, will not be forgotten. Muriel Ringgold, the race's cleverest comedienne, was a knockout at the Crescent the first half of the week. Miss Ringgold is a better dancer than she was four years ago, which is saying much, and the audience would not tire of her footwork. Muriel and Izzy Ringgold ought to form a sister team. Both are excellent singers and dancers, and they should be able to get a good price for their act. The Snakerins are good at tumbling and contortion work. Allen and Wright and Harry Franklin were also on the bill. NEGRO WRITERS WITH STERN Negro song writers are again coming into their own in the good graces of the music publishers. There has never been any question as to the popularity of their compositions with the public. Jos. W. Stern & Co., music publishers, at 102 1-2 West Thirty-eighth street, stand in the forefront of those who are giving signal, recognition to the Negro composers, and incidentally they are giving to the public the songs that are wanted. A list of the popular successes of the day always includes some of the products from a Negro's pen. In the latest list from this house are included compositions by Chris Smith, C. Lucky Roberts, Tim Brymn, Will Tyers, Will Marion Cook, J. Rosamond Johnson, Jas. M. Shaw and Jolly John Larkins. J. Rosamond Johnson is represented by his latest song, "Take Me in Your Arms," a song which is the hit of Max Pemberton's new revue, "Come Over Here," now running at the London Opera House, London, England, in which Hart & Johnson are figuring prominently. Lucky Roberts, one of our youngest composers, but who promises to develop into one of our best, contributes several numbers, the leading one being his popular "Junk Man Rag" "Cruel Papa," a song by Will Marion Cook, and "When I want a Little Loving" by Jolly John Larkins, are favorites. Chris Smith, whose compositions are prolific and popular, is employed by the firm in their professional department, and will be glad to receive any of his friends at any time. His compositions are always popular and many of the "big hits" are written by him. Stern & Co. will mail any of these compositions on receipt of 15 cents for each copy wanted, or $1 for seven numbers. For the Latest Theatrical News READ THE AGE An interesting article the presentation of M. B. Vincent's sacred oratorio, "The Predial Son," Sunday night, by the Lincoln Temple Choir and a large number of students from the Howell University Choir, with Roy V. Tibbs conducting. The Prodigial Sou' is written for a chorus of mixed voices, with soprano, contralto, tenor and bass soloe. There is a richness, a plastic beauty, in this work that makes it take high rank. Emotionally it is perhaps the most wonderful thing Vincent has composed, replete in virtually every measure with melodic beauty of a high order. It is not too much to say the work is inspired. Arthur, Grant, the tenor soloist, showed excellent understanding, and had a high sense of musical appreciation; indeed, Mr. Grant has every requirement a musician and singer should have but a voice. James McIntosh has an excellent bass voice for chorus work, but at present his voice is not of solo quality. His voice is uneven, and has not been properly placed. His middle tones were of a covered, husky character. It is a great pity Jacob Jones was not given all of the solo work. It would have added much to the pleasure of the evening. Miss Flaxie M. G. Holcombe has not yet acquired enough poise and self-control to attempt solo work. Her voice is very sweet, but of too light a quality to do justice to Vincent's music. She failed to rise to the dramatic significance of her part. The conductor overlooked those excellent sopranos, Misses Lulu Joy Brook and Lucy A. Blagburn, when he assigned the soprano role. Miss Charlotte N. Wallace, contralto, commanded marked attention in resonant, soul stirring, exalted and competent rendition of "And the Younger Son Gathered All Together." "And When He Had Spent All" "Oh. That Thou Hast Hearned" and "They Went Astray." Miss Wallace's singing is full of vigor and restfulness, her declamation being marked/to a degree. She possesses a remarkable contralto voice, even in quality from top to bottom, and she is a temperamental dramatic singer who has the artistic gift of singing piano passages with amazing beauty of tone and clear enunciation. Miss Clarice A. Jones did well the little work that was assigned her. Hers is an example of what a true musician can accomplish with a small voice. Jacob Jones, basso, sang as one who knows every note so thoroughly that the book is superfluous. This was in marked contrast to some of the other soloists who kept their eyes on the printed pages. His recitative and aria, "My Son Was Dead and Ia 'Alive'," were models of expression and beautiful baritone singing. Authority, repose, fine resonance of tone, conviction, were some of the qualities evidenced when he sang. Such singing results from intelligent phrasing and that one quas now of the singer—breath control. In most oratorios the chorus constitutes the backbone of the work, and Conductor Tibbs of the musical department of Howard University showed his mettle, "Trust in the Lord" showed the excellent balance of the individual groups of voices, "Let Us Eat, Drink and Be Merry" and "The Mirth of Tabrets Ceases", were beautifully done with cheerful tone, vigorous and rhythmic. The "Sacrifice of God," "Oh Had Thou Harkened" and "Oh, That Men Would Praise the Lord" were probably never better sung by a choir of this size, the tempo chosen by Conductor Tibbs again demonstrating his knowledge of choral forces and the effect to be attained. It seems that every singer was on the qui trite, and the result was a might and tenacity of expression that was indeed a low to hear. Conductor Tibbs knows just what he wants and just how to get it. Thoroughness marks all he does, and the willingness of his choral forces to follow his desires is apparent to any onlooker. There was a freshness, a unanimity of tonal force altogether refreshing in all choruses and the one man responsible for this is Conductor Tibbs. The accompanying of Miss Mary E. Europe was less praiseworthy than the singing of the chorus. An artist of Miss Europe's unquestioned genius should always live up to the high standard she set as accompanist for the S. Coleridge Taylor Society. Somehow and for some reason she did not play with her usual interest and inspiration. "HIAWATHA" IN CONCERT The Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, after a couple of seasons of inactivity, "came back" Friday night and gave the most successful and highly artistic concert that this noted body has given since 1804, when the composer Almaviva performed before the large section of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. "Hlawatha's Wedding Feast" and "The Death of Minnehaha" were rendered, the remainder of the program being selections from other works of the composer. Mrs. Kathryne Skeene-Mitchell of Cleveland sang the soprano solos and Dr. C. Sumner Wormly of this city the baritone. The famous tenor solo, "Onaway, Awake Beloved," was sung by Mrs. Mitchell, with surprising effect, the audience showing its appreciation by giving her a good ovation. Mrs. Mitchell, a friend and admirer to feel the music intensely. So effective was her singing that she was called up several times. The very difficult baritone solos were sung in an admirable manner by Dr. Wormley. Prof. Layton conducted. As she has done from the first time this remarkable work was sung in this city, Mary L. Europe presided at the piano. Her playing was simply marvelous; not a note of the intricate and delicate tracies of the beautiful accompaniment was lost or shruned over. Every note was as clear cut as a cameo. It is believed by many that Miss Europe is not only the best accompanist but the best sight resides of a piano score that the race has produced. Her playing is confident and never disappoints. She has given their from Howard University under the direction of Miss Lulu V. Childs, sang "By the Waters of Babylon," a choral anthem, most impressively, with Roy W. Tibbs at the organ. The work of Miss Childs at Howard is deserving of great praise. She has brought the music there up to a high standard. Her choir is an honor and a credit not only to herself but to the university. Two piano numbers were played. Miss Elise Brown of the Conservatory of Music played "A Dream Dance" and "Impactope Suite," like the worthy representative that she is of the Conservatory. "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors," dedicated to "The Trouble Clerf," was brilliantly played by Mrs. Wm. A. Wells and Miss Gregoria A. Fraser. The "Four African Dances" were played by Felix F. Wells most artistically and effectively. Miss M. P. Burrell recited in a manner that appealed to her audience, bringing tears to the eyes of many, the story of "The Death of Minnehaha." Mrs. Mamie E. Hillyer, who white on a visit to Europe in the summer of 1900 met Coleridge-Taylor, visited his home and got into his musical atmosphere and returned to this country fully imbued with the purpose to organise chorus and render "Hear me sing" a triumph to the dead composer, which for terteness and clearness of statement is unusual in a paper of that nature. The concert was given for the benefit of the family of the composer who on account of not receiving the royalties on his works, the most popular having been sold to the publisher outright, are embarrassed by his sudden death. A large and appreciative audience was present and the use of church and all services, including Mrs. Mitchell, who all came the way from Cleveland to lend a helping hand, having been donated, a handsome sum will be realized. The exact amount will be announced in The Ace. FISK STUDENTS SING In all the history of its pioneer work in the development of the Negro folk songs such a concert as was presented to an enthusiastic audience Tuesday evening, May 13, in Ryman Auditorium, the largest hall in the city. This immense audience gave the 300 Negro students round after round of applause, demanding an encore for every number on the program. From the opening song of "Brethren, Rise, to the closing "Swing Low, Street Car," the Mus Ehl Shlip pard Moore, one of the original jubilee singers, this mammoth chorus held the attention of the audience. The chorus was assisted by the university, the Men's Glee Club and the Women's Glee Club. The choral work was under the direction of Professor John W. Work. His solo, "Onaway, Awake Beloved," by Coloridge-Taylor, was one of the features of the evening. This concert was given as a part of the effort the university is making to raise the balance of nearly $100,000 to complete a much needed endowment fund. The raising of this fund will meet the amount of $20,000 noted institution. Cash and pledges to the amount of $202,000 have been secured. Many of the pledges are conditioned on the raising of the balance of a $300,000 fund by June 1, 1916. Speedwell Wins Championship Speedwell Wins Championship. Speedwell won the local championship able the Away by 80. The bowling fans keyed up to the highest pitch and kept keyed until the last game was rolled. The Alpha and Speedwell teams met on Wednesday night and each team won and lost one game, thus leaving the Avon's one game ahead of the Speedwell, with the next game to be rolled on the Speedwell alleys. Noching to take anything away from the Speedwell team as bowlers nor their ability to hold their own, yet it should be mentioned that owing to the condition of their alleys it is impossible for any team which has not had months and months of practice on uneven deep grooved alleys such as the Speedwells, to win a single game, and such a handicap is claimed to be more than unfair to the visiting teams. The second month's wrong will be righted and the results will be entertained by the Speedwells on a better bowling alleys such as they have been entertained on when they visit the Alpha and Avon clubs. Each club wins consolation even though it did not win the handsome trophy. Boyd of Alpha wins the high prize while the Trice of the Avon wins the individual average, thus making him champion of Greater New York. ALPHA. 1st. 2nd.
