THE FROGS' Annual Frolic Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXVI. No. 39. SOUTHERNER FOR MISCEGENATION Prof. M. E. Jordan Thinks He Has Plan To Solve Negro Problem MULATTO HAS A MISSION In Popular Science Magazine Professor at University of Virginia Advances Startling Theory A CHAMPION OF HALF-BREED The Arguments That Half-breeds Are Not Inferior to Either Parent as is Generally Supposed. Prof. H. E. Jordan, a Southern white man, of the University of Virginia, advances an opinion which means that miscengination will be the ultimate solution of the Negro problem. He makes this assertion in an article in The Popular Science Monthly, for June in which occurs the remarkable statement that the mulatto is the leaven with which to lift the Negro race. Prof. Jordan does not hold to the commonly accepted opinion that half-breeds are inferior to the race of either parent. On the contrary he thinks that the half-breed is usually a better and more useful citizen than the man of pure race. He believes that the solution of the Negro problem is facilitated instead of complicated by the presence of the mulatto, and claims that the breed has been proved most effective in some other lands notably in the English island colony of Jamaica. In Jamaica there are about 50,000 mulattoes in a population of 700,000, and it is noted, he says, that the mulattoes contribute, the artisans, the teachers, the business and professional men. "They are the very backbone of wonderful Jamaica." There Will Be More Mulattoes. There are now two million mutatees in the United States and there will be more, says Prof. Jordan, if statements are worth anything. He claims that the prevalence of defective half-breeds is due to the mating of inferior types of the black and white breeds. He argues that these do not inherently mean degeneracy. Discussing this phase of the question, he says I admit the general inferiority of black-white offspring. Defective half-breeds are too prevalent and obstructing to permit denying the apparently predetermined result of such crosses. But I emphatically deny that the result is inherent in the simple fact of cross-breeding. There are not a few very striking exceptions among my own acquaintances. Absolutely the best mulatto family I have ever known traces its ancestry back on both the maternal and paternal side to high-grade white grandfathers and pure type Negro grandmothers. The reason for the frequently inferior product of such crosses is that the better elements of both races under ordinary conditions of easy mating with their own type feel an instinctive repugnance to inter-marriage. The usual circumstance with a white man who accepts a colored woman who will accept a white man, are already of quite inferior type. One would not expect superior offspring from such parents if it concerned horses or dogs. Why should we expect the biologically impossible in the case of man? If the parents are of good type, so will be the offspring. And even with the blight of frequently degraded white ancestry, the mulatto of our country tries the most intelligent and potentially useful element of our colored population. Negron-White Cross Does Not Mean Desperatey. The fact, then, is established, be- lief all possibility of disproof, if it is true that a Negro-white cross inherently mean degeneracy; that the mulatto, measured by day standards of Caucasian culture, from economic and civic engagement, is an advantage upon a Negro. In further support of evidence of even a relatively re- writable ancestor may be cited the unique instance of the Moses historical race, Booker T. Wash- ing. As one mingles day by day died people of all grades and one is impressed with the sig- gure of even small admixtures of Asian blood. What elements of THE The New York Age. BOLDEN SAILS FOR EUROPE Will Attend World's Sunday School Congress—Given Reusing Bond-Off by Members of Mother Zion Church—Makes Speech Counseling Peace—The Rev. d. W. Brown Presaches at Mother Zion. Last Saturday the Rev. R. M. Bolden, former pastor of Mother Zion Church, sailed on the steamer Majestic for Switzerland. Nearly one hundred members of Mother Zion Church were at the White Star Line pier to bid him "bon voyage." The Rev. Mr. Bolden was the recipient of flowers and other gifts, and he was forced to make a speech. He advised his former members to stay by, and give new pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown, and told him by the mandate of Bishop Hood, who transferred him from Mother Zion Church to the Yonkers A. M. E. Zion Church at the annual session of the A. M. E. Conference, held recently at Yonkers, N. Y. Throughout his talk the Rev. Mr. Bolden counseled peace. Although there was considerable talk last week about the members refusing to accept the Rev. J. W. Brown of Rochester, N. Y., as pastor, services were held morning and evening without any disturbance. Sunday morning the church was crowded when the new pastor delivered his first sermon. The Rev. R. M. Bolden will attend the World's Sunday School Congress at Switzerland as a delegate from the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church. It is not known what he intends to do upon his return to America. He was transferred to the Yonkers A. M. E. Zion Church. SUPERVISOR MAKES FIRST ANNUAL REPORT Shows Kind of Work Being Done in the South for Education Under the Direction of the Jeanes Fund—Teachers Co-operate in the Supervision in Bringing About Union of School and Home Life. annual report of the Jeanes Fund supervisor, showing work which has been done in this county during the past year, has just been printed. The report is a most interesting one as to showing the kind of work being accomplished under the aptices and direction of the Jeanes Fund. It is especially interesting that the kind of work should be done in view of the poor facilities and poor appropriation being made for education in the South. The report of the supervisor follows: To harmonize education with the mental and physical activities of the life of students in this county. This is the desire to be something and to accomplish something. I believe that the training of the hand and heart as well as the mind has done more in helping the progress of the race than anything else. I have appointed supervisor of this county in this work. This is the desire of this work in this county and I believe that it has done a great deal of good. I had a meeting with the teachers of the county twice each month. In this meeting we would discuss different subjects and how we would carry out industrial work in each county. Quite a number of teachers cooperated with me in bringing about the union of school and home life. Both teachers and pupils take great interest in beautifying the schools and their surroundings. They also take great interest along the sanitary line. We cannot raise above our present condition in life unless we bend our efforts so as to better them. If you are assigned to any task you must put forth every effort to make the best success of it. A Brief Report of the Work Which Was Done in Each School. WILSON DISTRICT NO. 4.-Rails School, B. R.

KENLY DISTRICT NO. 1, Bocky ANDERSON BRUTALLY ASSAULTS HIS WIFE Mrs. Anderson Said to be Planning to Bring Suit for Annuit and Battery—Wife Bees Excellent Reputation. The office of the Amsterdam News, a local colored newspaper, located in 135th street, on the scene of a disgraceful scene Monday, with Jas. II. Anderson, one of the editors and his wife were principals. Anderson is said to have brutally assaulted Mrs. Anderson and then forcibly ejected her from the office. The unengleamly tactics of Anderson, which is said to have been uncalled for, were witnessed by the employees of the paper, and such a rumpus was raised that passshery were attracted by the screams of Mrs. Anderson. The news rapidly spread in Harlem that Anderson had beaten his wife. Mrs. Anderson, who is spoken highly of by all, is said to have called on her husband on business. He became enraged over her presence in the office and began to strike her with his fists. Such a severe beating did Mrs. Anderson receive at the hands of her husband that she was compelled to go to a physician for medical attention. It is rumored that Mrs. Anderson is planning to have Anderson arrested for assault. Only a short time ago Anderson was summoned to court on the charge of being the father of a child born to Miss Marie Taylor. He is a member of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission. PLITT ARRESTED ON PERJURY CHARGE Charles B. Plitt; Jr., against whom verdict of $5,000 was awarded to Mrs. Mary B. Carter in the Supreme Court last week for the killing of her son. Waverly Carter, was arrested early Wednesday morning charged with perjury. D. E. Tobias appears as the principal witness against Plitt in the perjury charge. Plitt was publicity man for Charles Becker, at that time a lieutenant of police, and young Carter was shot in a raid in Harlem ordered by Becker. In the suit for damages instituted by Mrs. Carter, Becker was sued jointly with Plitt, but Justice Phillin dismissed the complaint as being Becker's fault. The case was not present at the raid. However Counsel Wilford H. Smith will appeal from the decision of the lower court with reference to Becker, as in similar cases the Appellate Court has held that defendants were responsible. THE URBAN LEAGUE BOYS' CAMP FOR The Boy's Camp of the National League on Urban Condition Amount Negroes will be opened on July 7 at Verona, N.J. The same beautiful camp site, 725 feet above sea level on the second range of the Orange Mountains, commanding a lovely view of the valley beyond, has been donated for this purpose by Messrs. Nail & Parker. Last year 146 boys enjoyed two week outings each. They came from the Negro-Fresh Air Committee, the New York Colored Mission, St. Philip's P. E. Church, Salem M. E. Church, the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. and the Brooklyn Boy Scouts Swimming, baseball, basketball, tramp quoits, tramping and other sports were enjoyed by the boys, and in addition frequent health and moral talks were delivered to them by leading citizens of this and other communities. The various organizations of the city and its individuals are invited to correspond with E. K. Jones, 10 West 49th Street concerning admission of boys to the camp Verona during the present summer. There will be four camp periods July 7 to July 19, July 21 to August 2, August 4 to August 16, and August 18 to August 30. The camp will be under the supervision of Wm. L. Imes and Robert R. Ridoutone. COLLEGIANS STUDYING "THE NEGRO PROBLEM" Special to The New York Ac MONSTERMERY, Ala., June 24. "The Negro Problem" is the subject of a study that is being conducted at Black Mountain, North Carolina, by J. L. Sibley, Alabama's supervision of rural Negro schools. The study is being conducted in conjunction with a conference of southern (white) students, held under the auspices of the Y M C. A. Prof. Sibley, who left last week for Black Mountain, said that the conference is for the purpose of increasing Southern students in the problem, and it is hoped to obtain beneficial results.

"JIM CROWING" CONTINUES Democrats at Washington Are Now Segregating Roads at Postoffice Department—Big First in National Association for Advancement of Colored People—Walton Ruffed to Retire. Washington is not a major city. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 25—The Democratic administration continues to remind Negroes especially that it is in power. With Negro demisexually every week, and the segregation in departments, to which The Ace has already referred, the man and brother is much at sea. It is now reported that the large number of Negro clerks in the Post Office Departments have felt the hand of the segregationist, and are now confined in a security hot-box of a room behind lockers; where no one can know that they are there. In addition they have been notified, it is also reported, that they must use separate toilets, which have been designated on the eighth floor. And the end is not yet. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent its representatives here last week to eject from the local organization Dr. J. M. Waldron, erstwhile president. The Rev. Dr. Waldron refused to retire. The meeting called for that purpose, "broke up in a row," and in the melee lights were turned out and general confusion followed. Crimination and recrimination were indulged in and the church looked more like a battle ground than an edifice dedicated to the service of God. Negro employees of the Government here would like for the local association to change these conditions in the departments instead of believing as to who is and is not to hold the presidency of the organization. Dr. Waldron, F. A. M. Murray, L. M. Hershaw and other local representatives of the association are saying nothing, while their fellow clerks are being maltreated by President Wilson's subordinates. These clerks need to have a strong word spoken in their behalf. TUSKEGEE TRUSTEES MEET IN NEW YORK Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Warren Losan, treasurer; Emmett J. Scott secretary, and Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant are in the city for the annual meeting of the Truckee Area Education Trustees to be held Thursday, June 26, at the rooms of the General Education Board, Whitehall District, 17 Battery place.

NEW JERSEY ASKS WASHINGTON'S AID TENNESSEY, N. J., June 25.—Booker T. Washington, the great Negro educator, is to be called to assist in placing the Industrial School for Colored Youth at Bordentown upon a higher standard. The State Board of Education, at its meeting Saturday, decided to invite Dr. Washington to come here and to go over the Bordentown situation with the members of the board and with Dr. Calvin K. Nendall, the State Commissioner of Education. Dr. Washington has already tentatively consented to come the latter part of June or the first of July and he will go over in detail the work now being done at Bordentown and will give his views on what might be accomplished to help the colored youth of the State. Col. D. Stewart Craven, chairman of the Bordentown School Committee, reported on the conditions of the school at the meeting. He said that great improvement was grachnally being brought about, but not so fast as the committee wished. He anticipated that with some work the school could be placed on paying basis and in addition supply all the vegetables for the School for the Deaf in this city. COLORED GIRL VALEDICTORIAN Springfield, 11, June 24 - At the fifty-third annual commencement of the Springfield High School held Thursday, June 19, Miss Fannie F. Aesy a colored girl, was valedictorian. Diplomas were awarded the largest class in the history of the institution. There were forty-two boys and sixty-one girls a total of 103. Three colored pupils, Miss Aesy, La Rue Davis and Good Bruce Forth were members of the class. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 30 At MANHATTAN CASINO REALITY MEN OPPOSE HOUSING BUREAU IDEA Make Charge that Bureau is Modifying and Methods Are Impractical Housing Bureau Ambitions to Help Respectable Citizens Secure Apartments Away from Disreputable Element. There seems to be a decided difference of opinion between the real estate dealers in Harlem and the officials of the Housing Bureau as to the amount of good the bureau is doing in the Harlem section. The Housing Bureau is located 127 W. 135th street, with J. T. Clark as secretary of charge. It is a branch of the National Negro League Urban Conditions Among Negroes and was established to improve housing conditions among Negroes in that district. One of the aims of the bureau is to help the respectable element in securing apartments in houses free from the disreputable element. To learn just what has been accomplished by the Bureau an Age representative interviewed Mr. Clark and a number of the real estate agents in Harlem, whose business is said to bring them in direct contact with the activities of the bureau. The office of the bureau is splendidly located for the carrying out of its purpose, being in the midst of the Harlem colony of Negroes, and is amply equipped. In discussing the objects and achievements of the bureau, Mr. Clark said that the difficulty experienced by respectable people in finding homes in apartment houses where they would be free from contact with a disreputable member of the bureau. The bureau investigations as to conditions, and to establish a "certified list" upon which it placed houses which it could recommend to prospective tenants. The bureau plans to help the decent class of people by keeping the riff-raff element out of houses occupied by respectable people. Crusade Against Undesirable Tenants. Mr. Clark cited several instances in which the bureau had taken steps to have undesirable people removed from apartments where they were in obnoxious contact with respectable people. In some cases letters had been written to the Tenement House Department making specific charges against particularly undesirable tenants, and in all cases conditions were changed for the better. Public meetings have been held in various points and a campaign of education conducted. A large number of the Negroes who have come from afar are not accustomed to work in such conditions and unfamiliar with devices used, so the bureau has had to educate the tenants along sanitary lines also. In trying to remedy conditions, said Mr. Clark, the bureau has sought the cooperation of the real estate agents, and when complaints were necessary they were made first to the agents then to the owners, and only as a last resort to the Tenement House Department. Calling upon the real estate agents, THE ACE representative proposed the following questions: How can the Housing Bureau be made helpful and effective in improvement of conditions among Negro tenants? How is the Housing Bureau regarded by the real estate agents? Is there any way the two can cooperate? When will the responsibility of tenement houses for Negroes down to time of establishment of this bureau? John M. Royall, of the John M. Royall firm, has decided views upon the subject and expressed himself freely. As to how the bureau is regarded by the agents, Mr. Royall said, speaking for his firm, that it was regarded as a meddler, and the sooner it was discontinued the better it would be. Owing possibly to lack of knowledge on the part of the operators its efforts seem to be missent. It is trying to handle a proposition that has been given up by other committees as untenable. The bureau is bothering the agent with complaints and questions which the agent is already doing his utmost to correct and answer and which should properly be directed to the Tenement House Department, or direct to the tenants themselves. Bureau Should Hold Tenants' Meetings. "In fact," said Mr. Royall, the bureau should address itself in the task of reaching the tenant and not the agent. This can best be done by holding tenants' meetings, getting the tenants' house by house, to attend these meetings, and give them proper instructions as to the care of model tenants. The bureau could be run as a tenants' cleaning house, and the agents would cooperate in the all-inclusive tenant could be kept track of by the bureau.

That the attaches of the Colored Orphan Asylum, located at Riverdale-on-the-Hudson, are being intimidated, having been instructed to sign a statement which sets forth that the asylum is being properly managed and that all is peace and harmony, is the latest report to be circulated in connection with the orphan home controversy. It is said that this statement is to be presented to the trustees of the home to counteract the serious charges recently made public relative to the white heads drawing the color line and the full treatment of the orphans. While it is said that many of the charges are known to be true by the employees of the institution several have signed, the petition against their will. However, a few have had enough backbone to refuse to attach their signature to a document which does not express their views. The consensus of opinion is that an investigation will result in the dismissal of certain officials. JACK JOHSON IS CHICAGO, Ill. June 24.—Leave to carry his case to the United States District Court of Appeals was granted Monday to court Johnson, pugilist who was convicted to be sentenced to the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $1,000 for violation of the Mann act. ATLANTA NEGROES TO FIGHT SEGREGATION Have Decided To Go into Their Pockets and Raise Sufficient Funds To Carry Measure to United States Supreme Court if Necessary-Big Lawyers Who Know Constitutional Law To Be Employed. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ATLANTA, Ga.—As has been long expected here, the City Council has at last passed the segregation act and it has been signed by the Mayor. The Negro citizens of Atlanta are resolved to fight this unreasonable and unnecessary measure to the last dutch, and they feel that they not only have justice on their side but a large portion of the citizens of the white race who do not believe in any unjust and unnecessary act. Without soliciting and from the outside, they have decided to go into their own pockets and take this measure through every State and National court if necessary until the law has been declared unconstitutional as your correspondent feels it will. There are plenty of the lawyers who can be found to fight this case, and the colored people are going to see that their rights are vindicated and the insult offered them by the City Council is blotted out. DENOUNCED JACK JOHNSON Principal W. J. Miller. Loses Job at Bristol, Tenn. for Criticising Fighter and Troubling Element of Negroes-Board Satisfies Disgruntled Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE: Bristol, Tenn., June 24—Because she denounced Jack Johnson, advocated putting like Negroes on the chain gang, and insisted that the Negro should be developed along educational and industrial lines. Dr. W. J. Miller, highly educated and a type of the new Negro leader in the South, has been ousted from his position as principal of the colored schools. This action was taken by the school board at the urgent insistence of E. J. Fitzpatrick, the new superintendent who asked for the change, not because of inefficiency or failure to make good parts of Dr. Miller, but because Dr. Miller's militant attitude toward the trivial element among the Negroes had opposed their autonomy. The members of the board approved his attitude and recognized his efficiency but action to please the new superintendent, who evidently thought more of satisfying the disgruntled Negroes of having high grade Negro schools. John D. Witt one of the members of the board spoke right out in meeting in discussing the proposed action and told the other members of the board that he was opposed to Miller being ousted. Said by The trouble is that he requires discipline. There is a denominational fight on him he is the best Negro principal we have ever had and I believe it is due that he should be continued in the office. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS SULZER SHOWS HIS DISPLEASURE Removes James D. Carr as Vice Chairman of Eman- cipation Commission J. HENRY TAYLOR NAMED Appointed Vice Chairman of Commission and Delegated to Act as Governor's Personal Representative. Do Not Like New Order of Things, but Vice Chairman Taylor is Following Out Gov. Sulzer's Instructions. So unbusiness-like have been the methods employed by the Emancipation Commission in carrying on its work that Gov. William Sulzer has intervened. In no uncertain terms has he made known that he is greatly displeased with the impractical ideas some of the commissioners are ambivalent into execution and he is determined to keep the drama in the background by having a personal representative on the commission. The Rev. J. Henry Taylor who recently succeeded Summer H. Lark, resigned, has been delegated to represent the Governor and has been made vice-chairman of the commission in the place of James D. Carr. The removal of Carr as vice-chairman is not relished by the Wood-Carr faction as the politicians have been planning to run things to suit themselves. This step by Gov. Sulzer is viewed by outsiders as a rebuke to those who have sought to make political capital out of the proposed position. Wood and Carr are not backward showing the Rev. Mr. Thatcher that the governor is vice-chairman, even if Gov. Sulzer has decreed that Carr step down and out. However, the new vice-chairman seems to be holding his ground and has not been frightened by the unfriendly attitude of the Wood-Carr commissioners. Taylor Must Sign All Checks. It is also rumored that arrangements have been made to allow the commission to spend but $12,500, or half of the appropriation, in preparing for the exposition as it is feared that when the time comes to bear the cost, the commission there will not be a cent left to defray the operating costs. --- The Rev. Mr. Taylor has been the center of attention since Monday and the local colored Deacry have had him in charge con- tently. The Wood people are doing everything to show him 'their thieves should prevail, but breeding the instigators if Gov. Suker, the Rev. Mr. Taylor is demonstrating that he has been his own. It is said that the DuBois are the attended to resign the wives are not carried out, but there is not taken seriously. Although the commission has beer in existence going on two months, it is no tangible evidence to show that preparations are being made to the expression in New York it the fall. G, JUNE 30 CASINO ARNAPOLIS, Md., June 25.—Arguments were heard Tuesday in the Court of Appeals against and for the decision of Judge Thomas Ireland Elliott declaring the Baltimore segregation law invalid. The case came before the court on an appeal that had been noted by the City of Baltimore. Attorney General Poe represented the State, City Solicitor Field of Baltimore the latter municipality and William L. Marbury, strong advocate of the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment, represented the white segregationists. W. Ashbie Hawkins, of the Baltimore law firm of Hawkins and McMechen, made the main argument against the contention of those holding the segregation law to be valid. C. Ames Brooks also made an argument along the line of Mr. Hawkins. The case before the Court of Appeals was that arisen out of the indictment of John H. Gurry of Baltimore, for an alleged violation of the segregation law. Attorney Hawkins filed demurrer against the indictment, averring that the law was unconstitutional, and Judge Elliott, who was then sitting in the Criminal Court of Baltimore, decided in favor of Mr. Hawkins' contentions. Mr. Hawkins, in his argument related the history of the passage of three segregation laws by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. He declared that the law was class legislation and contrary to provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment and concluded his argument by saying: "This ordinance is not aimed at protecting the health, morals or safety of the community, nor to provide for its general welfare. It is but, an effort to protect what one class believes to be its property rights." SMALL SCHOOLHOUSES FOR THE SOUTHLAND CHICAGO, Ill. June 24. It has rumored here that within the last few days some very far-reaching plans, looking toward adding the colored people in education in the South are now being worked out. It is said that a Chicago philanthropist has placed a certain sum of money in the hands of Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, with the view of having him experiment in the building of small schoolhouses for colored people in the rural districts of the South on condition that Negroes raise an amount equal to it. Pictures have been seen in Chicago, representing a number of these small schoolhouses and they are a revelation as indicating the extent to which colored people are able to help themselves. It is thought that if the experiment is satisfactory that enough money will be coming to extend the plan into many Southern states if not all of them. A NEW PRINCIPAL FOR CHENYE INSTITI Philadelphia, Pa., June 26.—An important meeting of the trustees of the Cheney Normal and Industrial Institute, located at Cheney in this State, was held in Philadelphia this week. The purpose of the meeting was to select a principal for the Cheney school to succeed Hugh M. Browne, who has resigned. It is said that the position pays a salary of over $2400 a year. The board, which is composed wholly of Philadelphia people, invited Dr. Booker T. Washington to meet with it and advise with it concerning the proper person to fill the position of principal, but it is not known yet to whom the position will be offered. (Continued from page A) hope or menace he hidden in these mulatto millions? How can they help to solve or confuse the problem? Prof. Jordan asserts that the Negro cannot undergo mental development beyond a certain maximum, and that it is possible to approximate a "pure" mulatto race combining the best elements of black and white. We can approach it, he holds, by education and the fostering of Negro racial pride. He says further. "The point seems clear that in the presence of 2,000,000 mulattos, steadily increasing in number, we have a key to the solution of our problem. The mulatto is the leaven with which to lift the Negro race. He serves as our best lever for Negro elevation. The mulatto does not feel the instinctive mental nausea to Negro mating. He might even be made to feel a sacred mission in this respect. Possibility of marriage with mulatto would be a very real incentive to serious efforts for development on the part of the Negro. The logical conclusion may follow in the coiffure of the ages. At any rate, from present indications our hope lies in the mulatto. A wise statesmanship and rational patriotism will make every effort to conserve him, and imbue him with his mission in the interests of the brotherhood of a better man. The problem seems possible of solution only as the mulatto will undertake it, with the earnest help of the white." SUPERVISOR MAKES FIRST ANNUAL REPORT (Continued from page 1.)

We taught cooking, sewing, fancy work, bakery, gardening and general housework. Over 600 students were enrolled in this school this year and there is a great demand for industrial labor. SUMMARY—Number of schools in Wilson County, 30; number of schools visited, 17; number of visits made during term, 161; amount raised for extension of school term, $60; amount expended for materials, travelling, postage and printing, $117. Owing to the late beginning and early ending of the rural school term, I was able to reach only seventeen of the schools. At this rate, several hundred students have been able to learn something along the industrial line. Industrial periods or a day in each week are given to industrial work. The object of this work is to make our boys and girls more efficient men and women. The exhibits at the different schools were very encouraging. The superintendent and his co-workers have given their hearty cooperation in this work, and the parents, teachers and students seem to be very much interested and eager to learn.

Our $1.00 BOOK The LOADSTONE Mother of MAGNETISM FREE READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits. I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me. For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort, I did so, and later purchased two of 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 me my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use to mark my state of na this letter as reference, for I believe it of the wonderful change in my life, through the power and influence of two Dear Sirs: Several weeks ago I foolishly laid the 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 about through the power and influence of two Loudstones. Several weeks ago I foolishly laid the chamois bag containing the two Loadstone on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was freetiful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstone 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 Loadstone first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

Peebles, of California, who will be ninety-two years old next March, arrived in New York last week, and has arranged start on his sixth trip around the world in 1915. When asked the secret of his vitality he said: Just behaving myself, proper living, and alright account for it, I said Dr. Peebles. I have the will power to compel myself to do things instead of sitting in a corner talking about the by-gone days, when I stood on the anti-allegacy platform Garrison and other good men before the war. "I feel that I am in the morning of my youth, and have no fear of death because I believe that it merely means the shedding of the outer shell and going to sleep, to wake up in a new world." Dr. Peebles has been a vegetarian for sixty years and neither drinks nor smokes. He is the correspondent of thirty-one newspapers, nine of them East Indian, two of them Mahommedan newspapers. Dr. Peebles was born in Vermont. When he was twenty-eight years old he contracted tuberculosis and went to California. His life of hard work and temperate living should teach a useful lesson to the present generation, who do not care for hard work and who believe in late night hours and plenty of eating and drinking all of the time. QUEER THINGS IN WEST VIRGINIA There are many queer things in West Virginia, which was the better part of Virginia before the slave war, and one of the best of States now in many respects. Well, one of the queer things is the salt mines of Malden, high in the mountains, where Dr. Washington was born and worked as a boy and from which he trudged to Hampton Institute when a lad, on the way to Tuskegee Institute and the great work of race uplift he has done there. Another queer thing in West Virginia is the present Gov. Hatfield, as six-footer, a mountaineer and a Republican of the old school who believes in giving Negro Republicans a square deal instead of a square steal, and who is just as ready to dispute with his fists as with his hands. Another queer thing in West Virginia is that it is one of the great coal mining States, and the only one where Negro miners and white miners work and stand together. "You would not know Washington now, it is so changed since March 4 last," writes a friend. "We do not know where we are, or whither tending." Julius Caesar felt that way long ago when he struck the Rubicon, the dividing line between his duty to Rome and his interests in Caesar's "mighty fortunes," and he felt that way again a few years after when Brutus struck him down at the base of Pompey's statue—Brutus, whom Caesar loved most and had named executor of his vast estate! So may the Negro politicians feel from 1808 to 1912, who have in one way or another, directly or indirectly, given aid and comfort to the final transfer of the Government to the control of the Southern Democratic Negro haters. The movement, made popular by the interest taken in it by the President's wife, to clean out what they call "the slums," "the alleys" of Washington and to provide their dwellers with model homes, has enlisted the interest also of many of the social lady high-brows and some Congressmen, including Representative Borland of Missouri, who has introduced a bill in Congress to give the Commissioners of the District of Columbia power to condemn this "alley" and "slum" property as a first step toward driving out the people and "purifying the City Beautiful." The alleys of Washington are scattered in most of the big blocks in the city, and Congressman Borland in the New York Sun of Sunday. June 15, shows the real animus at the bottom of "the movement" as follows: "The conditions which led to the formation of the characteristic alley slums of Washington are interesting. The streets and avenues are original and are not merely a result of the development of the city. They offer a level of safety when real estate values began to increase and building activity was stimulated, it was found profitable to erect only shallow buildings, on the street fronts of the blocks. In this way a large number of slum residents could be moved." In such a State as West Virginia, where queer things are to be met with on every hand, including "moonshine whiskey" that grows on the corneo and thrives by dodging the interneb revenue tax, strange things are bound to happen all of the time, including Col. Philip Henry Waters, "the forty-year-old boy orator of the Kanawha." Among the latest happenings, however, we note that a Federal Senate Committee has been investigating a coal miners' strike, and that a big operator retorted upon Senator James Pasy Martine of New Jersey, one of President Wilson's freaks that he had drunk three cocktails with the Senator in the morning. "You are a blackguard and unworthy the consideration of a white man for violating the courtesies of a gentleman," shrieked Martine, "a white man," with clenched tists and blazing eyes. Poor Martine! He is but a Semenorial accidental freak. Another strange thing. A Negro miner testified that he earned from $100 to $150 a month, and three times had made $190 a month. Very queer. The growth of population brought to the city a large index of domestic workers, mainly Negroes. New places of work it was then seen to be profitable to make use of the hitherto waste-centers of some of the larger blocks for the erection of tenements, and gradually the spaces among the tenements, branching and turning into small labyrinths. Under such circumstances, only a small fraction of the alley can be seen from the points of view of sanitation, morality and criminology. The problem here in Washington is by no means too long to be easily solved. A careful survey made by the woman's welfare department of the National Grie Federation shows there are close to 3,000 houses in the city and that they house 18,000. A smaller tenement of brick of excellent design and commensurate enough to accommodate two families can be constructed for $2,000. This means that the actual cost of the dwellings necessary to house all the inhabitants of the alley slums would be about three million dollars. This 16,000 people are only a fraction of the 100,000 Negroes in Washington. They are not all employed in domestic service. Many of the men do the cartage, excavation and other rough manual labor of the District of Columbia. They live in the alleys because they cannot rent houses in the streets and avenues. Indeed, as far back as 1875 Negroes could only rent houses in restricted districts in Washington, and the rule has not changed with the years the line has rather been drawn tighter. We very much agree with the movement for better housing of the 16,000 who are no better and no worse than the black or white number of the same sort in all of the large cities of the country, but we should have more faith in the movement and Mrs. Wilson and the other highbrows behind it if they would first subscribe the $6,000,000 and build the 3,000 tenements needed before condemning and tearing down the places, however humble and inferior, they now live it and pay rent for. Experience has made us suspicious of every movement and individual with a Democratic tag on them, whether of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender. They have themselves to blame who have corrupted our faith in them and their movements. We may be jammed, but we are minded to give the jammer all the trouble possible. Many queer things happen in West Virginia worthy the consideration of a thoughtful Negro. The statute of Pennsylvania limits such authority to the state and its local indignation always provoked by the perpetration of a great wrong committed in this instance by the supreme law-interpreting power in the nation, that the Federal Supreme Court, by a unanimous opinion, has just declared the Sumner Civil Rights Act unconstitutional as it applies to Federal authority and territory, as it long ago, Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite delivering the opinion, declared it unconstitutional as it applies to State authority and territory. One of the most significant and remarkable things about the educational and other Negro lift work of the past forty years has been the utter absence of the Negro himself, the Hamlet of the whole business, in the official Boards that have had control and direction of the work. This has been noticeably and scandalously true of the Boards and official working forces of the Peabody Fund, the John F. Slater Fund, the David A. Hand Fund, the American Missionary Board, the Southern Education Board and the General Education Board. In the Jeanes Fund Board we are well represented. It has become an axiom in controversial civies that a whole nation cannot be indicted; but that a nation can indict itself, has done so, and does, has not been considered seriously as possible outside the Holy Bible. In like sort, it is impossible to indict an individual, but it is possible for an individual to indict himself, and he has done so and does it by his words and works. As often as the individual indicts himself, against whatever prohibition of the State, the law has provided a punishment and he is punished. But for the State, the nation, that indicts itself, by its words and works, of violating the letter and spirit of its own laws, its own Declaration and Constitution, there is no punishment provided by States and nations; and yet there is punishment as certain as Nemesis—written in the history of the downfall of Ephesus, Athens, Carthage, Rome, Babylon. Nations cannot escape punishment for their wrongful acts any more than they allow individuals to do it; the Higher Law holds them to strict accountability at some Waterloo, New Orleans or Appomattox. Their battlefields are all charted and monumented where they paid the penalty. What says the word: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap." In the case of the Southern and General Education Boards, originated by Dr. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Robert C. Ogden and the late Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr., as we remember it, mainly to systematize the available moneys and agencies for Negro education and uplift, they have become almost exclusively agencies for white educational and uplift work. These two Boards have rounded up and cornered the available moneys and agencies for Negro education and uplift in the Southern States, which had before found their way and operated through many independent channels, and become really a Negro Education Trust, with no Negro in their boards nor in their managing office and field work. With the tremendous moneys placed at their disposal for the Negro work by Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Rockefeller and subsidiary contributors, those boards have cut off the support of all Negro schools that would not sacrifice their independent existence and management for the small help offered them, and have diverted most of the money and agencies to Southern white educational work. "You accept our dictation or we will blacklist you," is the attitude of the Negro Education Trust. The Negro should have had proper representation on those boards. The deplorable condition that now obtains may have been thus minimized if not prevented. The Washington correspondent of the New York Sun of June 10 reported the case as follows: Mary F. Butts, a negress, purchased a round trip ticket which entitled her to a first class passage over the Merchants and Miners Transportation line between Boston and Norfolk. After the trip she filed complaint in the courts for damages under the Federal civil rights law, alleging a dozen specific acts of discrimination against her that amounted to an injury to her health. She alleged among other charges that she was not allowed to eat in the dining room with the white passengers and was denied accommodations on the upper deck with other 100 class passengers and required to go below. The transportation company defended the action on the ground that the act under which she sued was invalid and filed a demurrer, which the Circuit Court for the District of Massachusetts sustained. The case came before the Supreme Court on appeal. The decision was unanimous. In his opinion Justice Van Dear pointer out that the courts herefore have construed the Federal act as not applicable to States of the Union, but only to such other territory as is "within the jurisdiction of the United States". He ruled that the holding of the act as invalid had impaired the whole stature, the provisions of which are interdependent. This means that street railway lines in the District of Columbia, steamship companies and other corporations operating exclusively in Federal territory or in States where there are no laws to the contrary will be able to adopt Jim Crow regulations. In view of this decision we do not now see that the Negro has any appeal to the Federal courts for redress of any wrongs done against his life, person or property on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, in territory exclusively Federal, or to any State court for wrongs done against him within the jurisdiction of such State, except where State law covers the matter, as it does in New York and other States not in the Southern group. It is a desperate situation for the Negro to be denied his citizenship by the Federal Supreme Court, except as to servitude other than as punishment for crime, and to be thrown back violently for redress of wrongs upon the States whose laws justify such wrongs. JAMMING THE NEGRO IN WASHINGTON. As it has become in the larger educational and uplift work for the Negro in the nation, so it has been and is now in the State, church and local educational and charity work for the Negro or where he is related to the work as a taxpayer or beneficiary. Here in New York, for instance, he has no member of the State, county or city boards of education nor charity organizations. In the hospitals, old folks' homes and orphanages maintained for him exclusively by private charity he has been given a limited representation on the managing boards and responsible working force, and is denied for the most part the advantages of such institutions other than charity's "crust of bread and a place to sleep," as Dunbar wailed it. The internes, trained nurses and clerks are for the most part white. This should not be so now in New York or other Eastern and Western States. The movement, so long on a slipping and sliding footing, during the past thirteen years at least, to sidetrack and jam the Negro people up against themselves received, as we were sure it would, a tremendous impulse by the election of Gov. Woodrow Wilson to be President, with a Congress in sympathy with Democrat law and president, as they have developed and fungied the political, social and labor conditions of the Southern States since 1870. As The Age pointed out during the progress of the Presidential campaign, Mr. Wilson is a Virginian, every inch of him, in his attitude toward the Negro. He established the truth of this fact as president of Princeton University and as Governor of New Jersey. A Tiger can and sometimes does, as the animal convict along with the leopard and the zebra, change his stripes, even as the human animal can and does, but in order for him to do so, to the satisfaction of himself and mankind, so that there may be "the peace that passes understanding" he has to destroy himself, as human convict or convict tiger, or be destroyed. It seems to be that war with the Southern Negro haters. In the heat of the campaign Gov. Wilson assured Bishop Walters and the rest of mankind over his own copy plate signature, that if elected President all would be well, very well, with the Negro citizen at Washington and throughout "Columbia's vast domains." We suspended judgment; that is held if in reserve, after the Democratic party had swept the election returns into their column from "where rolls the Oregon and hears no sound save his own lashings" to the Florida Everglades that heart no sounds save the root of an owl and the croak of a frog, "for the dead are there." President Wilson has now been President since March 4, a period of only three months; the Negro officeholders in Washington and the country have been demoted, segregated and bully-ragged in the public service by White House silence. Congressional attitude, bureaucratic intolerance and tyranny, and white newspaper acceptance of it all, by silence or loud acclaim, in so far as to put backward the hands of the clock of progress for the Negro in official and public opinion and action thirty-seven years, to 1870. When we do have a competent person in a responsible position in one of the institutions or organizations every possible thing is done to discreet and oust him. Take the case of Miss Campbell, the capable probation officer of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; her resignation has been accepted to take effect July 1, but the Negroes of New York City should at once raise the small sum of $1,000 necessary to continue her in the work. We should have representation upon the school boards of every Stage, county and city where we are ten or more per cent. of the school population, and upon every philanthropic education and charity board working in whole or in part for Negro education and uplift. We shall get what we are entitled to when we begin in earnest to contend for it and continue to work for it. That is the way we got and have mixed public schools in New York State, as well as mixed principals and pupils of public schools. BREAKING INTO THE BUSINESS WORLD. The Age-Herald, published in Birmingham, Ala., got out a special trade edition on June 18. A whole section of this paper, containing a good many pages, was devoted to a description of the success of colored business enterprises. The Negro in Birmingham is forging to the front so rapidly in business directions that he has compelled this generous recognition on the part of one of the strongest daily papers in the South. The Age-Herald, however, has not been tardy in recognizing and encouraging business enterprises among our people. MR. ROSENWALD'S FAITH IN THE NEGRO We see by the daily press of Chicago that Mr. Julius Rosenwald has again manifested his faith and interest in the Negro by subscribing twenty-five thousand dollars toward the capital fund of the Mound Bayou Cotton Seed Oil Mill managed under the direction of Mr. Charles Banks. Mr. Banks is the first vice-president of the National Negro Business League, and is the promoter of the cotton seed oil mill being built at Mound Bayou. For the past month or so very little has been published in the daily press concerning the Negro that has been inspiring and calculated to fill us with good cheer. Most of the information imparted has been of a nature which tended to discourage rather than encourage. We read of the wholesale dismissal of Negro Government officeholders, of the lynching of innocent Negroes, of the humiliation representative members of the race subjected to on Pullman cars, and last, but not least, of the adverse decision of the United States Supreme Court, which has declared the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1875 invalid. In the midst of this memorable series of ill tidings there filtered through the columns of the press-last week a piece of information that was as welcome as the flowers in May, to wit: That Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., had succeeded in financing the $100,000 cottonseed oil mill, which will be put in operation by fall. There are some who may not appreciate the full importance of this announcement, viewing the financing of the oil mill more as an incident than an event of some consequence. But to the skeptical who attach but little importance to this financial transaction, let them attempt to finance a $10,000, not a $100,000 proposition, making it public that Negroes are the promoters, and they will not be long in finding out just what a monumental task they have undertaken. At this time, when the confidence of the race in all business ventures promoted by Negroes has almost reached the zero mark, and when the white investor is apathetic and does not care to become interested in business projects engineered by Negroes, the full significance of Mr. Banks' accomplishment should be understood without great difficulty. Business is the keystone of any nation. The larger its commercial activities the more commanding is its position among other nations. The prosperity of this country depends upon the business man. The onerous duty of making the wheels of progress move fast or slowly is assigned to him. It is the business man who is the most directly conceived in politics, for the passage of friendly or unfriendly laws means millions of dollars to him, one way or the other. Political jobs are only secondary. Congress meets to discuss the tariff and other issues, which, while important to the people, seem to be of more vital concern to the business man. Nations send ambassadors and ministers to other countries, but the chief work of the diplomat is to look after the commercial interests of the country he represents, termed by some newspapers as "dollar diplomacy." The cottonseed oil mill at Mount Bayou is the strongest argument that can be put forward at this time to show what the Negro in the South is doing despite great odds. Here in a State where the Negro population outnumbers the whites, where the colored voters have been disfranchised by the thousands and are compelled to undergo numerous indignities, the Negro is becoming a business man in the broadest sense. In Mississippi, whether fostered by colored or white business men, a $100,000 proposition is looked upon as one of no small proportions. There is nothing Vardaman, John Sharp Williams and other rabid Negro haters can do to impede the progress of these energetic Negroes who are advancing the interest of Mississippi as well as their own, without injuring the commercial standing of the State. White men, no matter how radical on the Negro question, somehow seem to forget their prejudices when the dollar plays a leading role. Mound Bayon, Mass., is located in the rich Yazoo, Mississippi Delta, lying between Memphis and Vicksburg, and embraces about 30,000 acres of land. The town proper has a population of one thousand, while from six to seven thousand Negroes live in the outlying territory. Mound Bayon ranks with any of the smaller towns in the State. The testimony of the white neighbors is that there is not a more law-abiding set in Mississippi. One murder has been committed in the corporate limits of the town in twenty-five years. The Bank of Mound Bayon has been the greatest factor in financing the agricultural and industrial projects in the community but it has been unable to give favorable consideration to every proposition presented, owing to lack of capital. In many instances the securities of the bank are discredited by white managers because Mound Bayon is a Negro town. Yet the bank has paid and is paying handsome dividends on all investments. Two figures stand out prominently and are accredited with the marked advancement made by this unique Negro community—Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayon, and Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayon, whose reputation as a successful financier is rapidly growing. There are others who are helping to make history but these two men form the motor power. To those philanthropically inclined, who desire to combine philanthropy and business and repurpose financial return on their investment, we recommend that attention be given to the various enterprises fathered and matured by Mound Bayon Negroes. Building Was Destroyed Sunday June 16, 2013 was a great historical event in Chicago, the like of which has never been witnessed there before. The new Young Men's Christian Association building for colored people was thrown open for use and inspection. This building has been erected as a 2000-4000 building and furniture. It is by far the most complete, attractive and imposing structure of the kind ever built for black people anywhere in the world. Julius Rosenwald, Cyrus H. McCormick, N. M. Harris and other white candidates for the construction. Negroes are to be commended for what they have done. The chairman of the management from the beginning up to the completion of the building was Dr. George C. Hall, on whose shoulders the money for the construction of the building rested. Dr. J. E. Moorland and other colored citizens deserve the hikest credit. Too much praise cannot be given to L. W. Messer, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago, for his deep and practical in On Sunday, when the building was dedicated, practically every important secret, civic and military organization in Chicago paraded the streets. This meant that the parade was the parade. The parade was witnessed by five or six thousand more people, so it is safe to say that from ten to twelve thousand Negroes took part in one way or another in connection with the opening exercises. The parade was attended by men and women crowd were able to get on the inside, but a platform was erected in front of the building where many of the inside exercises were duplicated. The principal and dedicatory speech was made by Mr. Booker T. Washington, among other things Mr. Washington said: "The formal opening of this magnificent and costly building marks an epoch in the advancement of the Negro race. It is the most costly of its kind, and we are proud of our race anywhere in the world. For bringing about the completion of this building our thanks are due especially to J. W. Messer, Dr. George C. Hall, Dr. L. J. E. Moorhead and to our generosity, Julius Rosenwald, and other citizens of both races here in Chicago. "At the present moment there are not far from 50,000 black citizens in Chicago, and this number is increasing. The human beings or who provide of service to the people of Chicago. They will be a liability or an asset. This building is meant to help them become an asset. The first man to exercise property rights in Chicago is the Bantistie who settled here in 1777. The Negro has from that day to this increased his property holdings in this city until now he owns $5,000,000 worth of property. He also constituted 2 new buildings in Chicago. What shall a building of this character do for the 50,000 black citizens? It should do for them that which numerous buildings and organizations are doing for the white race, the black race, the black drinking, less gambling, less idleness, less association with bad characters. I appeal to the colored young men here present not only to make use of this building for themselves, but for the benefit of the community, in getting hold of the discouraged, such as the idlers and lovers, and bring them under the influence of this institution. This building belongs to the entire race, and I appeal to you to attend the classes. The other speakers were Dr. George C. Hall, L. Messer, Julius Rosenwald, William P. Sibley and Jr. J. E. Moorland. These exercises were attended by the very highest type of colored men, and white citizens in Chicago. Indeed it was an occasion that will be long remembered in the history of this city. The program was as follows: Address, William P. Sidley, president of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago; address, Dr. George C. Hull, chairman committee of management, Wabash avenue department; address, Julius Rosenwald; address, J. E. Moorland, secretary international committee, letters of greeting from Norman W. Harris and Cyrus H. McCormick; selection, Friarian Club Chap. dedicated address, prayer, L. William Mossor, general secretary the Y. M. C. A.; benediction, Dr. Moses H. Jackson, pastor Grace Presbyterian Church. Save the Ribbon To the Editor of The Arts: Knowing that your paper circulates among an exceptionally intelligent class of people, I crave the hospitality of your columns for an appeal to your approach which has been applied to the people of the South because of the actions of a part of their number. This approach is applied almost universally to the "Negroes and poor whites of the South" and concerns the undoubted fact of their food purposes. Of course by "Negroes and poor whites" is really meant "poor Negroes and poor whites" and "poor" really means ignorant. We cannot believe that the graduates of Atlanta, Charleston, and Long birds any more than we believe southern white gentlemen of good breeding and education would commit the same burbarism. We cannot believe that all colored people are deceived by the sense of the beautiful any more than we can believe it of any other race. But the fact remains by testimony too strong to be refuted that many of the colored people of the South, owing to environment, ignorance and bad example, are cully of this sun. Will they be refuted by old culture help to remove this reproach? The order of this letter as white man believes that they will. He believes that there are thousands who feel as he does about this shaughter and who are no more responsible for the bird killing by ignorant Negrogran than he is for action by ignorant whites. But here it is. He is doing all he can to help the compassionate bird-breeding colored institutions and just principles of their part as well. Will they join in the work he is doing and help save the birds? Membership in the Order of Blackwoodmen costs nothing. The members express in their declaration a desire to cultivate the old-fashioned, unspoiled nature for unspoiled humanity. This is not the expression of any other but the best of all. Let every reader of *The Age* who believes that the bird killers are bringing undeserved reprieve upon his race write to the undersigned (mentioning the New York Agent) and become a Backwoodsman by expressing his sympathy with the idea shown above. He will receive a prompt reply, with we need the help of every good man and woman of every race. The birds do not reckon any race lines, either in their destroyers of their protectors. Let us all work together and save the birds. Let us care. He reads this appeal, writes me to-day, and show that he is on the right side. Tompkins Corners, N. Y., June 12, 1913. National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, which convenes in its tenth annual session in Little Rock, Ark.

The building address was delivered by Horace Spencer, cement contractor of Washington, IA, in support of House Bill No. 655. House apportionment committee, forty-third Illinois General Assembly, asked that an appropriation be made to the Negro citizens of Illinois to hold a suitable Emancipation Celebration: "Sweetmen of the Committee—I am an Illinois product. My father, David Spencer, a retired cement contractor, migrated to Jacksonville, IL, September 4, 1855. He came from the state where Abraham Lincoln was born, and on the day Richard Yates, war Governor of Illinois, he acted in the capacity of one of his palestars. The only objection made against this Immunization Celebration really worthy of consideration in the statement made in a newspaper published, but not printed, by a Negro, to the effect that the Negroes of Illinois have not been immunized. You will pardon the personal reference to my family, but the four sons of David Spencer, myself included, paid out last year a sum amounting to $225. It may be pertinent to state that each of our boys learned their trade from their father, who had the first cement pavement, dug the first sewer, and drilled the first jacksonville, this state. While all members of the present Illinois General Assembly may lack information as to what Illinois Negroes are doing one member, the Hon. Robert E. Jackson, must prove a brilliant exception. He has in his employ today卖 employees in the conduct of a print shop, coloring clothing to Senator Lerner the genius who has superintended the construction plans of much of the building in the Great North Western Rail- THE MASTER MORACE SPENCER road system is an Illinois Negro. Three banking institutions, two in Chicago and one in the city of Springfield, are doing an excellent banking business on methods approved by white men. Provident Hospital, Chicago, is a monument to the ability of the Negro in materia medica, in surgery and in the art of nursing, for which says Monroe "the eminent eminent." The eminent surgeon, Dr. Dan H. Williams, the founder of this institution, has successfully performed the Caesarian section on two occasions, on a deformed dwarf. Dr. George C.

I have been careful to make reference in this brief summary to individual instances of thrift which have come under my observation. Speaking broadly, the Negroes of Illinois pay taxes upon BIEGES, but not upon per cent. accumulated in the past fifty years. They have invested nearly a million dollars in church property alone. There are sixty lawyers and over one hundred physicians and dentists, who minister to the professional classes.

The Negroes of Illinois in proportion to their numbers are amusing in record for progressive movement compared favorably with their race fellowships in states of the Union. They are in the forward movement. They are keeping "step to the music of the republic" and proving their worth to civilization. "Let the Naggers nag!" Let the little men crane wrath and whine. Let the critics alarm. They cannot hurt the fame nor stop the onward movement of the black manhood and womanhood of America. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, for two hundred and forty-five years our fathers and mothers toiled as slaves and slaves, and we have stained our sires have stained a hundred American battlefields.

SMITH 302 West 37th Street AT 9TH STREET THEATRE MANAGER MADE MISTAKE. (BY LESTER A. WALTON.) JUST because they mistook a young lady of color to be a member of the white race and proceeded to speak disrespectfully of their aboy-hued employer, several familiar faces are missing at the Fifty-ninth Street Theatre. Those who made the fatal mistake of thinking that the young colored girl of light complexion was "one of them" have joined the large army of unemployed—more from force of circumstances than by choice. Now they have plenty of time to discuss the problems of the day with their friends, and the principal topic for conversation is: How can a white person tell who's who? The Fifty-ninth Street Theatre is owned by William Mack Felton, whose racial affiliations and genealogical classification are unquestioned. When Mr. Felton opened his theatre in the early spring a protest was registered in these columns against the employment of a white manager, cashier and motion picture operator. The argument was advanced that taking into consideration that Mr. Felton was a colored man and he had a large colored clientele it was his duty to furnish employment for members of his race, all things being equal. Last month Mr. Felton found it necessary to discharge his white manager apu cashier (husband and wife) for two reasons: Because they were uncivil to the colored patrons and because, it is alleged, they showed undue affection for some of the nickels and dimes belonging to the proprietor. To have and to hold seemed to have been their policy in the realm of finance. Mr. Felton decided that an absolute separation was necessary and recommended a change of scenery for manager and cashier. But in discharging the pair he did not give a colored man chance to show what he could do as manager, neither did he employ a colored girl as cashier. He contended that it was absolutely necessary for him to have a white cashier in the box-office, as many white persons would refuse to patronize the theatre if a colored girl graced the money department. The suggestion was made to get a colored girl of very light complexion, as there are hundreds of such type in New York. However, Mr. Felton consistently adhered to his original policy. --- When Proprietor Felton came around everybody would smile and salaam to his highness, and he congratulated himself on having such decorous help. Particularly did the manager beam transcendently upon his chocolate-colored boss at all times, and there were times when he called Mr. Felton "Mr. Boss." It was not until last Saturday that the proprietor of the Fifty-ninth Street Theatre found out what was what, thanks to the "high yaller." He had decided to make a change in the boxoffice and one of his friends, learning of his plans, sent the colored girl of very light complexion to apply for the position. The manager was aware that a new cashier was wanted, so in the absence of the proprietor he undertook to ascertain the qualifications of the applicant whom he took to be white. After engaging the colored girl in conversation for about ten minutes the manager began to make disparaging references of Mr. Felton and wife, referring to them as "black, ignorant piggers" and showing that his regard for his employer was subway-ward rather than Woolworth Building-ward. The white cashier was next brought in, the conversation, and she voluntarily gave her opinion of her employer and his wife, which was not in the least complimentary. It was all the colored girl could do to listen and smile at the insulting remarks unnecessarily made about a member of her race, and when she left the Fifty-ninth Street Theatre she was not long in hunting up the party who sent her to the theatre to apply for work. She told him of her unpleasant conversation with the manager and white cashier, and before an hour had passed Mr. Felton had been informed as to the real feeling his white manager and cashier had for him. Saturday evening Mr. Felton made a clear sweep, discharging manager, cashier, operator and piano player. The Federal laws will not permit the publication of what Mr. Felton had to say, as thousands and thousands of copies of THE AGE might be held up in the mail. However, suffice to relate, the owner of the Fifty-ninth Street Theatre did not lack clearness of expression in telling the manager what he thought of him. Of course, the manager made an effort to show Mr. Felton that a mistake had been made. The patrons of the Fifty-ninth Street Theatre were surprised to see so many new faces Monday evening. The old manager was conspicuous by his absence; the former cashier was no longer in evidence and the erstwhile operator was operating in new fields. The new employees were all colored, but of that type which deceives nine white persons out of ten as to their racial identity, even if colored people can tell when they are "passing." One of the amusing features of the so-called Negro problem is the inability of the white people to recognize hundreds and hundreds of colored people who have gone on the other side of the color line. To us there is nothing so ludicrous as to observe one known as a violent Negro hater walking arm-in-arm or sitting at a table eating with a person of color, the radical Caucasian indulging in an erratic outburst of abuse on the Negro to the unconcealed delight of the colored person. It is hard to tell who's who nowadays! THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Brown and Brown are at the Lyric Theatre, Buffalo. Porter & Dewey are at the Star Theatre, Pittsburgh.

CRESCENT THEATRE. With the Griffin Sisters as the principal attraction at the Crescent Theatre this week a big business is assured. They are certainly red-hot favorites in Harlem Tuesday afternoon Emma Griffin, the heavyweight of the team, became suddenly ill at the theatre and was taken home in a taxi. She was unable to appear Tuesday evening, to the disappointment of many admirers. Mabel Griffin did a single turn, and despite the absence of her sister held the audience from start to finish. She is in good voice. Montgomery and McClain made a very favorable impression in their singing and dancing sketch.

Irving Jones made his first appearance in Harlem for many months in a single turn with new songs. "The Secrets of the Underworld," a sketch, and the Solvini Duo, were also on the bill.

A number of novelties will be introduced during the evening, and the dancers will be treated to a unique illumination display, in which they will shake the light fantastic under the "cherry blossom shower," the "perfumed spray" and the "pale moonlight." An augmented symphony orchestra, selected from the various colored musical organizations in New York, will furnish the dance melodies. Fifty elaborate and useful souvenirs will be given to the ladies. TO GIVE AWAY AUTO William Mack Felton, proprietor of the Fifty-ninth St. Theatre, has hit upon a method very much out of the ordinary to advertise his house. He has set aside Friday, July 4, as the date when he will act as Santa Claus and make a number of valuable presents. A Buick runabout, valued at $300, and guaranteed to run fifty miles an hour will be one of the articles given away.

The Fifty-ninth Street Theatre will be opened at 9 o'clock in the morning and will not close until 11 o'clock in the evening. The principal vaudeville attraction for July 4 will be Baby Jim, the fat man. AMPHIONS ENTERTAIN. St. Lukes Hall, corner 13th and U streets, Washington, D. C., was the scene of a highly enjoyable event Thursday evening, June 19, the occasion being one of those affairs for which this musical organization has become famous. The hall was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting and choice flowers, and the orchestra which was hidden behind a beautiful arrangement of palms and ferns discoursed the latest dance selections at frequent intervals: The Amphions who had a full quota of members on hand, gave a number of their most pleasing selections, under the directorship of Prof. J. Henry Lewis. The solos were rendered by Messrs. C. A. Barbour, Robert Scott and John Hamilton. The menu was tempting, and after the banquet, dancing was the feature. The following ladies graced the affair by their presence: Madames J. H. Washington, C. A. Champ, F. L. Dodson, Anna M. Over, C. V. Johnson; Misset M. Thomas, Mary Green, R. M. Baker, O. V. Thompson, A. L. Bacon, Boston; B. M. Smoot, M. W. Peters, T. Joyce, O. E. Johnson, C. Clagett, Philadelphia; M. Gwynn, Dallas, Tex. Among the gentlemen were Dr. J. H. Terrell of Chicago, Wm. Joyce of Cincinnati and C. Duckett of Wilmington, N. C. EASTERN GIRLS GIVE RECITAL Two young Eastern girls, Miss Effe E. Grant and Miss Helen S. Minnis, gave song and planoforte recital in the new Plymouth Congregational Church in Racine, Wisconsin, before a critical audience of Racine people. They were assisted by two white artists, Mrs. Corwell, reader, and Miss Beckus, whistler. Miss Minnis has not completed her course on the piano, but will enter the Oberlin Conservatory. She played with ease and exhibited a finished technique. Miss Grant was a pupil of the Yale Conservatory of Music, having won the Lockwood scholarship in voice in 1969. She is teaching at the Western University, Kansas, and stopped in Racine on route east to assist Miss Minnis in this recital. She was the guest of Logan Davis, 1337 College avenue, Miss Grant sang with, purity of tone and technical proficiency, and so pleased were the critics that after the recital Miss Grant was requested to postpone her trip east and remain over Sundays for the singing service of the Pinniman Church, Miss Grant resides at Collinsville, Conn. Miss Minnis' numbers included a sonata by Gries, a suite by Shutt, and three plantation melodies adapted by Coleridge-Taylor, Verdi's aria, "Ah fors' el fum," "Swift as a Bee," by Arditi, and "Oroles," by Garner, were some of Miss Grant's numbers. Athlete Ford Finishes High School. Among those to graduate from the Springfield (IL) High School last week was the promising athlete, Cecil Brune Ford, son of Maj. George W. Ford, superintendent of the National Cemetery at Camp Butler, IL. Young Ford was one of the three colored in a class of 103 pupils, of which Miss Earnie F Asey, a colored girl, was valedictorian. Ford made a record as an athlete while attending high school. The Cate-toling, the high school's year book, speaks of him as follows: "Pord is an old-timer on the track having been the high summer and polyvalter for three years. Ford has developed a new form in high jumping and it has made him a wonder. He GIVEN AWAY FREE On JULY 4 AT THE 59TH ST.

TURPIN Proprietor and Manager Booker Washington, St. Louis, Mo., AND THE New Crown Garden, TIM R. OWSLEY, Proprietor and Manager june19 41 Addressee Tim E. Owsley, Indianapolis, Ia The Man Farthest Down Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education. Etc. This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slowery;" 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. Large crowds attended Salem, Sunday. The more preached morning and evening.

At the evening service the pastor ached. ALTY MEN OPPOSE HOUSING BUREAU IDEA (Continued from page 1.) their names being secured from the agents, and in many instances these tenants could be prevented from going into houses occupied by decent and respectable tenants." Mr. Royall declared that the public meetings held by the bureau do not reach the class for which they are intended and are of little practical service. The meetings are attended by the thinking class, and these people know already how to live decently. To be effective the tenants must be reached who need instruction and this can only be done by holding house-to-house meetings, getting the tenants of one house at a time, if they can be gotten at no other way. "Many of the complaints against the house," continued Mr. Royail, "could be remedied by efficient janitors, and in particular the bureau could be of great service. It could supply the agents with efficient men for this service. I will hire any man they recommend to me and put him in charge of a house. This would necessarily be effective because the janitor thus employed, failing to have complaints made to the agent attended to could report such issues to the bureau which could take proper steps to remedy the fault. . ." "Summing up the matter, the bureau could be made effective and secure the cooperation of the agents, by: 1. Getting the tenants to attend the meetings. 2. Furnishing good janitors to the agents. 3. Quit meddling with the agents about usual matters that the agents are already striving to remedy and go direct to the tenants in its campaign of education." Philip A. Payton, of the Philip A. Payton, Jr. Company, was called upon, but declared that he knew nothing of the object and intent of the bureau and was not in a position to express an opinion. He had received requests from the bureau to attend meetings, but had been unable to do so. However, said he, there is an opportunity for good work by the bureau if it is gone at in the right way. Does Not Believe Movement Will Result in Much Good. John E. Nail, of the firm of Nail & Parker, in a letter to the bureau recently, stated that he would be glad to to attend one of meetings to be held by the bureau, further declaring that he believed such efforts as were being put forth by the bureau to be a waste of energy. His experience had been that such movements seldom amounted to anything or accomplished any tangible good. It seemed to Mr. Nail that more good would be accomplished by inducing a larger number of Negroes to become property owners, and that whenever a man or a woman had become the owner of a piece of property they seldom failed to interest themselves in the proper way to take care of a home. Another real estate agent in Harlem, one of the largest operators in that town, was seen. While declining to allow his name to be used he said that so far, safeguarding the decent and respectable tenants was concerned it was well known that the Negro real estate agents of Harlem in many instances went out of their way to keep out undesirable tenants. Properties handled could have been filled in as many days if the restrictions had been removed. The Negro agent whose business was not founded on character was bound to be shortlived. Every piece of property handled by this operator contained restrictions, and while it was not always possible to keep out the undesirable element as soon as they were discovered they were removed. He cited one instance in which an undesirable tenant tried to rent an apartment in a house which he handled, and on being refused, rented an apartment in a house next door which was handled by a white agent. It being in a particularly desirable neighborhood, and with the object of protecting the tenants in the houses he handled, the Negro agent entered into negotiations with the owners of the property into which the undesirable tenant had moved and succeeded in buying the house. His first act, even before acquiring title, was to insist upon a dispossess notice being served upon the tenant, who had to find other quarters. In this connection, he said he could not see any material good to be accomplished by the bureau, which seemed to be working more along theoretical or sociological lines than along the line of practical accomplishment.
