FIGHT OVER NEGRO APPOINTMENTS President Wilson and Radical Southern Democratic Senators Clash AGAINST NEGRO REGISTER Radicals from the South Oppose Confirmation of Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma as Register of the Treasury. THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS New White Politicians Name Negro Appointees - Democratic Languages Seem to be Persona Non Grita. Special to Two New York Am: WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30—When the next Presidential election rolls around all probabilities are that colored Democrats will be as scare as are white Republicans in Mound Bayou, Miss. In the northern States Negroes will be found supporting Democratic nominities in local elections, but as to voting for Democrats who aspire to participate in the management of the United States Government, all an opponent need do will be to refer to the Wilson administration at Washington, which will be enough—a sufficiency. Following the resignation of James C. Napier as Register of the Treasury, Mr. Napier refusing to "Jim Crow" his colored clerks when directed by the Treasury Department, President Wilson on Friday sent to the Senate the name of Adam E. Patterson, a Negro lawyer of Menkogee, Okla., to succeed him. From all accounts Mr. Patterson is going to experience much difficulty inducing the southern Senators to agree to his confirmation. Since March 4, President Wilson has been backward about appointing a Negro to office, being afraid to start a race issue among southern Senators which he knew to be inevitable. An interesting light is on in which the northern Senators will look on with unconceived amusement. It is not expected that the Republican Senators will participate in the discussion, and as the Democratic Senators of the North appreciate the value of the Negro vote in their respective States, it is hardly likely that they will assume other than an apathetic attitude. Colored Democrats Good Actors. Colored Democrats are making a heroic effort to show that they are highly pleased over the appointment of Fatterson, and predict that he will be ultimately confirmed. During the McKenny Roosevelt and Tait administrations Negro Democrats were displeased because members of the race were influential enough to secure prominent Federal appointments for competent Negroes. Senator Gore of Oklahoma is responsible for the appointment of various African-Americans, including Democratic leagues and organizations have enough political slates to fill a schoolroom, indications are that the few Negroes fortunate enough to get political plans will owe their appointments to white politicians. The appointment of Adam F. Patterson as Registrar of the Treasury to succeed James C. Napier, is giving the Vardamas and Tillmans an opportunity to get a little free advertisement. Many of these radical southern Senators would never break into print if it were not for the so-called Negro question as they do not possess any element of statesmanship. They could discuss Schedule K with any more intelligence than some of their poor, African white constituents in the South, who are growing fat and wasting theible time of other Senators in a race which is advancing steadily despite the handicaps encountered by Thomas Dixon, who formerly presented himself as "reverend," but a few weeks ago opened a theatrical office in New York; has also succeeded in getting a bit of free advertisement by writing a letter to Senator man of North Carolina, asking the Senate to fight Patterson's confirmation. Dixon was formerly a resident North Carolina. At this writing claims New York as his home. New York does not wax entwined in claiming him. Dixon's views Negro have long, been a stench public, and Negroes have been to put what he had to say in these pails. They would put him in a similar receptacle, only they re-remain as harmless and such a dump- and too good, strange the white press shows information to always give space to sensationalist, rather than to those who preach christianity, conservatism, equal opportunity to all mankind. LEROY BUTLER ARRESTED Failed to Satisfy Judgment Amounting to $450.97 in Suit Brought by C. Colline—Served With Body Execution—Furnished $1,800 Bond. Which Attorney Him Liberty of Kings County Jail. For failing to satisfy a judgment awarded against him in favor of L. C. Collins, amounting to $450.97, the Rev. C. Leroy Butler, formerly an official of the defunct Metropolitan Mercantile & Reality Company, was served with a body execution by the Sherif of Kings County while coming out of the Kings County Court House the last week, accompanied by his attorney. The body execution was issued at the instance of Counselor Charles E. Tuney. 80 Wall street, who represented Collins in the suit against Butler. Butler was unable to pay the judgment, but put up a $1,000 bond, which allows him the liberty of the Kings County Jail. QUEER THINGS AT WEST POINT. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK TRENTON, N. J., July 30—kii April, 1912. Charles Quander and Robert Queen were competitors for the position of Polk-typewriter at the West Point Military Academy, and were the only colored applicants out of ten. They were the only successful candidates. As Queen had accepted the position of stenographer to the Emancipation Commission of New Jersey, Quander was the only person eligible to the position. Quander was the first colored man to hold a clerical position in that "sacred" academy, but a law was passed recently taking the position out of the civil service. On July 1 Mr. Quander was succeeded by one of the young white men who succeeded in falling in the test held the previous year. NEGRO SOLDIERS TO BE QUARTERED AT PARIS Advices from Paris, France, state, that the black regiments of the French colonies will henceforth be quartered in Paris during their enlistment. M. Etienne, the Minister of War, has announced the change of plan in putting into operation the Government's three-year military service bill. The innovation promises to be popular, as Negroes, especially black troops, are well liked in France. Regiments of Negro soldiers will be brought in for service in the mother country from the colonies of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion Island and Guiana. MORRIS AND DAVIS CONTINUE TO FIGHT MORRIS AND DAVIS CONTINUE TO FIGHT Authority of Grand Master and Sub-Committee of Management over Local Lodges now a Subject at Issue—119 Lodges in Georgia Suspended by Davis Morris Faction Said to Have Scored Point in Naming Boston as Next Meeting Place of B. M.C. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PHILADELPHIA, Pa. July 21—The authors of *Grand Master Martis* and the sub-Committee of Management over the local lodges of God Fellowes are questioned by the local lodges in lengthy agreement published in last week's *Odd Fellows* journal, the official organ of the Martis. Indications are that the country is simply the beginning of a campaign by Ben Davis to test Martis as the head of the order, to which position Martis owes. In a four-column letter Mr. Davis cities certain laws presenting to show that neither Grand Master Morris nor the S.C. of M. power to control the local lodges in certain particulars as against the district grand lodge. The editor of *Idd* and *Idd* of the same organization inscribe these citations by others which seem to show the supreme authority of the S.C. of Management and the grand master. For a long time Mr. Davis, who is the secretary of the district grand lodge of Georgia, has resisted and controlled Odd Fellows' policies and legislation in Georgia. It has now that there is a steady current of opposition being developed against him in that state. A number of the men who stood with him in the past are in line against him now. The most prominent of these is the present district grand master, B. S. Ingram. It is evident that at the district grand lodge session he held at Savannah, Ga. August 12, the Ingram forces will be wholly organized against Davis and his supporter. It is hard probable that the night will be successful this year as the machinery office from well-organized and trained workers, and from an ample supply of the equipment, will be indicted on the trend of feeling that in Georgia Odd Fellows can be found willing to risk their future in the order by antagonizing the Davis forces. In the past antagonism to Davis meant the setting in motion by Davis and his friends of such machinery as would being death in the order of the offender. At the recent session of the Sub Committee of Management, held July 14, in Philadelphia, it developed that during Commissioners Are Planning to Bring Most of the Exhibits from Outside of the State of New York. The protests of the citizens of New York against the impractical schemes the Emancipation Proclamation Commission was planning to upload on the unspecting public are having their effect. Although the spirit of discord and egotism continue to pervade the commission, yet the self-centered ones who had originally planned to run things as they saw fit and in disregard of the wishes of the citizens of New York have assumed a change of front. The threat of Gov. Sulzer that he would remove the commissioners if they did not conduct the affairs of the commission on a business basis is said to have also brought about a change in their modus operandi. From a reliable source it has been learned that Gov. Sulzer would have come to adjective changes in the personnel of the commission some weeks ago, had he not feared that the affairs of the commission would become muddled, in view of the short time the commission has to prepare for the expiration. The arrogant attitude assumed herefore by several of the commissioners has disappeared. Even the talk of spending the State's money in bringing curios from Africa and expending about $3,500 in holding a sociological convention are no longer heard. Time and experience seem to have made some of the commissioners more cautious and less aggressive in their more serious argument, even if not more wiser. The citizens of New York take exceptions to the position maintained by several of the commissioners that the Negroes of New York State are not capable of giving an exposition without going outside the State for exhibits. One of the strongest opponents of the idea of complying the exhibition solely to New York State is a commissioner who has been in New York but a short time and who, judging from what he has to do, is not qualified to initiate an exhibition in New York. New York is doing and has done. This commissioner does not seem to think the New York Negro has done anything. New York Negroes Could Play Prominent Part. Neesers who are in a position to point to the several hundred cultivators, smelters and millers in the State. In New York City all are colored women conditioned to work and military establishments or men, while many are employed by some of the leading firms. They are in a position to contribute creditable exhibitors. In the evening trade schools members of the race are taught how to become manure, millers, embroidery workers, flower makers, stenographers and bookkeepers. They would be able to make the exposition a success. In New York State there are colored farmers who own large farms and who are successful agriculturists. There are also a large number of farmers occupying small farms who are tiling the soil with some degree of success, and who would be able to play a part in showing what the Negro is doing in the State. Several inventors are anxious to show the public what they have conceived. Another commissioner who seems to be in for much criticism is Robert N. Wood, who is said to have declared at the closing exercises of an evening school, held a short time ago, that the Negro was inferior to the white man. Those who have been disposed to criticize Commissioner Wood for making such a statement asserted to show what the opportunity was presented to show what the Negro in New York can do to disprove his inferiority he cooperated with the commissiones sociologians and curious deviseers in the scheme to prepare most of the exhibits from outside the State. Although it is rumored that the commissioners were considering the idea of amortizing $9,000, allowing each $1,000, there is not much likelihood of the plan being put into effect. That the commissioners are anxious to get into the good graces of the public was shown several days ago when a seven-course dinner was given by the commissioners for a number of ministers. It is reported that another big dinner for the clergy is being planned. A State official is said to have protested against the judgment of one commissioner, who has put his entire family to work for the commission. CONFERENCE OBJECTS TO SHORT SCHOOL TERM Crisfield.

MUSKOGEE, OKLA., July 29—If the plot of the radical Democrats in power at Washington to introduce hostile legislation to embarrass and impede the progress of the Negro continues, the spectacle of thousands of colored citizens showing resentment by migrating to other countries is probable. The Negroes of this country have had a taste of what radical Democracy means in all the months, and work the Vardamay, Tellmans and Hoke Smith streets to mollify at the capital city of the United States and the acquiescence attitude of the other lawmakers, as well as President Wilson have not put the Negro citizens in a pleasant frame of mind. In various sections of the United States, the colored people are talking of leaving this country for foreign shores. If such an exodus takes place it would badly cripple many industries, particularly in the South. It is difficult to tell how serious will be the results if the movement secures sufficient impetus. In Oklahoma there is quite a stir among the Negroes relative to going to Africa. An African prince has been all over the State making speeches and showing the great advantages that are over in his country for American Negroes who desire to be men amongst men. Thousands are talking of leaving Oklahoma for Africa. Several hundred Negroes expect to leave for Africa next June, starting from New York City on a special boat. They will be joined by another large party from Galveston, Tex. It is surprising to hear so many Negroes planning to sell all they have in America and talking about migration to other countries. For the past two years many Oklahoma Negroes have migrated to Canada and Mexico. CRITICISE ADMINISTRATION Megic Templars of Alabama Meet at Montgomery and Score Democracy—Ask President Wilson to Give, Negro Square Deal. Special to The New York Acc MONTGOMERY, Ala. July 29—The Alabama Grand Lodge Mosaic Templars of America, with seven hundred delegates, representing ten thousand members in the State and one thousand lodges with eighty-nine thousand members in twenty-six states, closed its three days' annual session Saturday. The meeting was the eighth annual session of the Alabama Grand Lodge, held under the jurisdiction of the National Grand Lodge, National Grand Master Wm. Alexander, of Little Rock, Ark., presided. Reports showed that the National Grand Lodge has $127,000 cash on hand with a $0,200 National Temple in course of erection at Little Rock, Ark. The order claims as members leading Neuros of the country. P.H. Member of the Tennessee, Tenn. palladium board, read at the close of the meeting the following report on "The State of the Country," criticising the Democratic administration. We regret to report that a feeling of general unrest seems to hang over the entire country. Legislative agitation has clogged the wheels of commerce and investment and business窒息 are light. We might congratulate that band of militant Negroes who fought so many and so well for the success of the Democratic party last fall. The hour has arrived when Negro men must have the courage of their own hands in a broadened themselves with any party which offers them better conditions of living. However, we regret that since these Negroes worked so earnestly and were factors in the success of the Democratic party, they have left in the cold. They are to be given stones for bread and serpents for meat—the fact that they are Negroes has overshadowed the fact that they are men and citizens. The Negroes of this country are the ones that should commend them in living, vivid colors to all men. Throwing off the yoke of slavery fifty years ago, they have endured every persecution known to man, yet have wiped out 70 per cent. of the population and married with out a dollar in cash, operating fifty-six banks, thirty insurance companies, numerous mercantile houses and have accumulated above $600,000,000 worth of wealth. The men and women of the race have taken which man in science art and knowledge and believe "Contained on Page 2." WHITE MOTHER SAT BY HIM AT TRIAL WHITE MOTHER SAT BY HIM AT TRIAL Few Knew that Campbell Clark Charged with Criminal Assault Had White Parent. Defense Contended that Clark and Annie Hunt, White, Had Been on Intimate Terms for Some Time. Special to The New York Ack. CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 29—Campbell Clark, colored, was sentenced to five years in the pentimentary for an alleged criminal assault on Annie Hunt, a white salesclerk. The white newspapers and officials did all in their power to arouse the white citizens to a high pitch of excitement. The contention of the defense was that Clark had been in intimate term with the girl for some time. Robert Hasslett, a white man, appeared as a witness for Clark, but his testimony was not given favorable consideration and he was lambasted by the newspapers for having the temerity to tell the truth. During the trial Clark's white mother bravely sat beside him. The fact that the defendant had a white mother seemed to surprise many, who did not know that Clark and his brothers lived with her. Attorney Tom Nuttner, who represented the defendant, won the admiration of the white lawyers for the plucky fight he put up to clear his client. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS WAS PUBLISHER A COLORED MAN? This Question Is Mystifying the Officials of Chicago, Illinois Public Administrator Bishop Trying to Solve Racial Identity of the Late Henry Lee Former Business Partner of Decomed and Prominent Colored Citizens Declare List Was a Negro. Special to Tax New York Am. CHICAGO, Ill., July 29—Public Administrator Bishop is spending much time attempting to ascertain the racial identity of Henry Lee, a wealthy Chicago publisher, who died intestate and, without heirs. Many assert that Lee was a Negro. Among those to take this starting position is Frederick C. Laird, the decease's former partner in the firm of Laird & Lee. Public Administrator Bishop does not want to believe that the wealthy publisher was a white man and says he will combine his efforts to learn what secret in the life of the publisher caused him to take such pains to conceal his identity. The administrator thinks that when he has solved this problem he will perhaps be able to settle the estate of $100,000 for which there are now no claimants. His department will make every effort to find possible heirs, but he is not hopeful. It is expected that the plant will be sold as advertised on August 5. After twenty years the money will revert to the State. Since Mr. Lee died," said Bishop, "I have made a pretty thorough investigation of last year's no evidence not a trace of legal evidence in favor to indicate that Mr. Lee was of Negro blood or that that was the reason he chose to hide his past." Laird said there was no question that Lee was a Negro. He said that Lee was the son of a slave woman, served as valet to a Confederate General in the Civil War and at one time was a waiter in St. Louis. Lie lived almost the life of a recluse in a good house on Washington Boulevard. He exchanged no confidences and had little to do with any one. Negroes in the city who are prominent among the empires of Nexto. They say that he was deeply interested in and generous toward Negro charities. FARMING DEMONSTRATION IN THE BLACK BELT TUSKEGEE, Ala., July 29—The Negro United States Farm Demonstration Agents in the Black Belt are teaching Negro farmers, among other things, the value of clovers and demonstrating that those legumes can be grown on soils cultivated in the Black Belt. District agent: Thomas M. Campbell stated today "We are making some progress in teaching Negro farmers that clovers are some of the legumes equal in value to alfalfa. They can be grown on many of the soils in the South. "We are trying with some degree of success to show Negro farmers that clover restores nitrogen to the soil and is unsurpassed as an economical and effective fertilizer. "We are teaching Negro farmers also that clovers are very valuable winter cover crop and for growing. The average farmer is not only using clovers but he does not know the plant or the seed when it stresses. We are trying to teach that a soil we start with the farmer by showing him the clover seed. Then we him the set apart a small piece of soil for a plot and sow it and cultivate under our direction. 270 Demonstrators There are 250 Negro Democrat- ation Agents in Alabama in charge of 250 Demonstrations, with 250 plots, ranging from one-third to an acre to thirty acres. We selec- tion the most intelligent and pro- gressive farmers in the community and induce them to demonstrate che- crops as well as corn and cotton crops. The Department of Agriculture at Washington is thoroughly in sympathy with this movement, and State Agent B. L.

DIRECT ELECTIONS MAY CORRECT SOME ABUSES RECT SOME ABUSES In the Cosmopolitan for August, 1913, which appears, it seems, some thirty days ahead, and must therefore be some thirty days behind time, one of the peculiar ways Mr. William Randolph Hearst has of connecting with vagrant pennies going and coming. Col. John Temple Graves, who is a mighty wise man to know personally, in a 'sRetch of Mr. John Marshall Slaton, the new Gowernor of Georgia, among other things, says: It is upon this ground solely that the Japanese are protesting and appealing from treatment of them by the United States not met out to other subjects of "the most favored nations" because they are a colored people, not white or of a white people. How much more and just cause we have than the Japanese to protest and appeal who are not only citizens of the country but of the white people entirely as to our individual names and very largely as to our blood? As blood is thicker than water, so also is it of as different sorts—the salt and the fresh, the running and the stagnant, the pure and the mixed. A very large percentage of the people of the United States and Canada and of Latin America are mixed blooded, and belong properly under the general term "colored people." Where the blood is pure the spirit is often wonderfully mixed, as the howling of such abnormal and abominable creatures as Thomas Dixon, Jr., Benjamin R. Tillman, James K. Vardaman and the late Jefferson Davis all too plainly shows in most they say and do. Most such creatures, who pass for white and think they are, are as yellow as tanned leather, popular in summer shoes, and hate the most venomously and howl the most dismally against colored people in order to distract too close scrutiny of their own muddy saffron or sickly tallow shade of beauty. So the thief running fast with his lion takes up the yell, often subconsciously, as the philosophers have it, "Stop, chief!" There can be no more hateful and crafty person to associate or deal with than a black man who thinks he is white or a white man who thinks he is black. This sounds real funny. The white primary used to decide everything; now the direct vote authorized by constitutional amendment is to do it. Usually, in the South, and generally, in Georgia, the Democrats only have candidates to vote for. When other parties vote for candidates they have been so bulldozed and "counted out" so remorselessly that they no longer stand for election. Negroes are not allowed to vote in white primaries and are discouraged from voting in colored primaries, so that the whites have most of the voting to themselves, and, as the result is "dead sure," very few of them, seldom more than ten per cent, of the voting population, do vote. Take Congressman Joe B. Thompson, of Oklahoma, as a malignant sample of what we mean—he is bound to be a cross of Southern poor white, Indian and Negro blood. He must despise the black and not love the red blood of which Abraham was equally the father in Islam, Esau and Jacob—that is they still have him, as we have for spiritual father. Mr. Thompson, taking advantage of the recent decision of the Federal Supreme Court, has introduced in the House of Representatives a bill for the "separation of the white and colored or African races in the street cars—city, urban and interurban—and in the government departments located in the District of Columbia. Separate compartments are to be provided on all street cars, such to be designated by a placard. Punishment is provided for violations of the law both as to passengers and the carrying companies. As to the separation of the races in the departments, the bill provides for separate compartments in every department where both white and colored are employed." The following sections concern the penalties: A news despatch last week said United States Senator Augustus O. Bacon, of Georgia, was re-elected by direct vote of 10,000, and without opposition. There may be a mistake in the figures, and there may not be. Georgia has a total population of 2,609,121. The total vote for Governor in 1910, with two Democrats running, was only 888 voes. Southern elections have been, since 1874, nothing but a one-sided gamble, in which the white Democrats have had everything as they desired it, the total vote in any given election being out of all proportion to the total voting population. Having no opposition, the larger part of the whites have not deemed it necessary to take the time and trouble to vote. "Section 7. If any employee of the government in any of the departments thereof use or occupy any of the compartments not designated for his race, after having been prohibited from occupying such compartments, and upon conversion he is fined not less than $5 nor more than $25, and shall be subject to summary dismissal from the governmental department of the government service where both whites and colored are employed shall fail or refuse to properly set off and mark compartmentes that have been so marked, to require the employees thereof to occupy the compartments marked and set aside to the members of the race to which they belong, or she or she shall be guilty of an offense of the same nature, or more than $1,000, and in addition thereto shall be discharged from office." Under the new system of direct voting for Federal officials, it remains to be seen if the States of the North and West will longer tolerate an electoral system in which the average Southern white man's vote counts for more than five or even ten Northern and Western votes in the election of the President and members of the Congress. We have no doubt that the next Congress elections will furnish the provocation and the challenge. White men may wink at it when white men rob colored men, but when white men rob white men, that is another thing, and they go to law to determine the matter. In that way the Negro will also go with them. This is construed not to be class nor special legislation because it is intended to apply to both races alike; but it is class and special legislation nevertheless, and malignantly malicious so that, as it is sturdily intended to degrade one race at the expense of another, both citizens of the United States and subject equally to the same construction and application of the statute laws. But as the Federal Supreme Court has decided that States have a right to make such laws and that the Federal Government is not prohibited from doing so, we have no doubt that the Thompson bill will pass both Houses of Congress. Will the President sign it? We shall believe it when he does it, suspending judgment as a matter of courtesy, as he has not so far set a precedent in such matters. The Democratic way has been persistent, however, since the ath of March last, in enforcing the separation of the races in the departments, placing signs everywhere, and establishing rules regulating the personal movements of employees, without any legislation to justify it. After having done it, legislation is then proposed in Congress to legalize it. That is the Southern Democratic way. The passage of the law will have to be supplemented by another deining who are colored people and how they are to be singled out; as many of those of the African races now in the United States are in large part as mixed in blood and spirit as the European races here, who were generally mixed with those of African and Asiatic blood and spirit in the Spanish, Greek and Roman wars before the Christian era, as far as the Portuguese, Italians and Spaniards are concerned, who have very generally intermarried with the other Continental Europeans, and all of the Jews; all of them plainly showing their African and Asiatic blood and spirit in their color and attitudes of mind and heart. The nation has a very large population of these colored people who are of the same color and spirit as the alleged colored people of the African races. They may all be forced by such class and race legislation to make common cause against the arrogance and insistence of the alleged white Thompson, Tillmans Vardahans and such sort. The enforcement of such laws is certain to lead to misups not expected by those who are provoking wrath in the mixed races of the citizenship and the stranger among us, and of other nations than our own. The country is threatened with war with Mexico and Japan, it is said; but this is no new threat. It was because of this threat that our troops were gathered in force on the Texas border last year by President Taft. The threat has been growing in health ever since and is liable to come to a head at any time, the attitude of our government toward Mexico and Japan being such that the national attitude toward the colored races in all parts of the world and at home, the United States is laying up enough trouble to keep it very busy for a hundred years to come. The almost the most mongrel people in the world are the race of race purity is enough to make the "gods of high Olympus" bough the roof off their dwelling place. --- the shameless salesmen who would skin a flea for his hide and tallow, and how it has got into the White House from Virginia by way of the Governorship of the good State of New Jersey, as well as into control, of both Houses of Congress and of the Federal Supreme Court—is it not all written in the newspapers of the past forty years! have a different treatment because for the same treatment appropriate the strangers of other races among us, under "the most favored nations" clause of our treaty policies, as to leave no doubt of its position; and that without insisting, as we could wisely do, that the United States has now and is receiving all of the foreign additions to the population that we need and can reasonably handle, and could, and should, for the common advantage of those now here refuse to receive another one of any race for ten years to come, at least. We do not need another alien in the land, from Africa, Asia, Europe, or the islands of the seas; but we do need time, and plenty of it, in which to educate and adapt to American ways the millions of them we have received into the national body in the past thirty years. The Federal Supreme Court is Southern Democratic in character and opinion because President Roosevelt and President Taft, both claiming to be Republicans, deliberately made it so; and the White House and both Houses of Congress are Democratic because ex-President Roosevelt and President Taft deliberately made it so, as Caesar and Pompey made Rome a desolation and stench, because both of them insisted that their personal fortunes were of more value to them than the fortunes of the Republican party which had given them the best that it had, and the welfare and well doing of the great nation that the Republican party made great by wise policies and leadership, from 1860 to 1896. Why 1896? Because personal government of the Republican party for selfish and personal advantage came into power with Senator Marcus A. Hanna in that year and went out with his spirit, his policies, March 4, 1913; the Ohio spirit in Republican politics, which has been a disturbing element from Salmon P. Chase to the present time. As matters have gone and are going we are in a fair way to be destroyed by them, as the Hebrews over-ran Egypt, the Israelites the Land of Canaan and the Barbarians Rome. Already our ideas of government, of church and of morals have been so revolutionized as to be unrecognizable to us who have witnessed the change for the worst and not for the better in the past thirty years; while the conditions of work and wages have so changed that the old American stock, white and colored, are overruled and overridden in the labor union and the work shop. This fact has become almost as true of the Southern States in the factory and mining districts as in the Northern and Western States, and promises to become more so. The foreign laborer among us is brutally clannish and hoggish. He wants all of the work for himself and his own on any given contract, great or small, and does not hesitate to strike and riot to enforce his desires; and this, too, often when he can't speak nor understand a word of our language. In politics, in the church, in work and ways, the foreigners among us have come to be dominant, arrogant and brutal in the disposition to "hog" everything. As Mr. Lincoln could not have been elected over the combined Democratic strength in 1800, so Governor Wilson could not have won over the combined Republican strength in 1912. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad;" which can be no comfort, at least, to Bishop Alexander Walters and other Negroes whom the gods made mad enough to help elect Governor Wilson President. Bishop Walters declared in his Philadelphia address that the voice of his father in heaven led him into the Democratic slaughter house; but we are sure he mistook the voice of his grandfather for that of his father in heaven. We knew his father, who was a colored gentleman, when he was on earth, and he would not have misled him; but we did not know his grandfather, who was a Kentucky white man, when he was on earth, but we have no doubt that he was a Southern Democrat on earth and must still be one in heaven. The Federal Supreme Court has just declared unconstitutional that portion of the Summer Civil Rights bill, passed in 1875, guaranteeing to Negro citizens immunity from discrimination "on account of race, color or previous condition," in Federal territory—territory not under the control of a State. Heretofore the law had been declared unconstitutional in the States by the Court, Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite, of Ohio, delivering the opinion. The law in its entirety was a restraint upon lawless legislation of the States against the colored people, which broke forth as the unbounded waters of the Johnstown flood as soon as the law was repealed, in as far as the States were concerned, and has continued up to this time as far as the old slave States are concerned with increasing venomousness and maliciousness; occasions being made for the enactment of laws abridging the personal liberty of colored people out of a purely malicious purpose, intended to be and are offensively so, and being a direct appeal to lawlessness, as no man will tolerate without some sort of protest, appeal, malicious abridgement of his personal liberties, commonly enjoyed by others of his fellow citizens, and should not, nor be expected to do it. As to the Japanese, we repeat, we have the kindiest disposition and feeling for them, as they are even more colored than we are; but we cannot ignore the fact that Japanese in this country, in fighting their battles in the newspapers, too often speak of American colored people in a slighting or contemptuous way. In the New York Swan of July 24, for instance, M. H. Ohashi says, among other things: "To the foreigners who swarm to these shores, and to the Negro of acknowledged inferiority, the right of citizenship is granted, while it is refused to the Aniatic." Now, we do not appreciate that sort of insolence. The Negro who acknowledges that he is inferior deserves to be kicked out of the country, and the Japanese who thinks so does not deserve to be kicked into the country. As to the white man who thinks so, he should be challenged to prove it as often as he offensively asserts it. That is the position that Aur. Jas always taken, and will live by. Then, Mr. Ohashi takes it for granted that the Negro "is granted the right of citizenship" when the proper way to phrase it is, the Negro has been granted citizenship by constitutional enactment and is, therefore, born to citizenship as an inheritance, while aliens eligible to it have to file notice and wait seven years before they can be naturalized. Mr. Ohashi is not eligible to become a citizen, and should be more modest if not more generous in his characterization of his colored Americans who are citizens and friends as well of the Japanese people. DEATH IN SOUTHERN PRISON FIRE TRAP. The initialities practiced in Southern prisons and convict canes have been exposed so often since George W. Cable first turned the searchlight upon them, some twenty years ago, as to leave little to the imagination; but with all of the investigation of them by State legislatures and demonstration of them by newspapers and humane persons, very little improvement has been made in the system and management or in the infamous legal machinery by which they are supplied with victims. The explanation is always at hand. The convicts are, for the most part, black persons who have no rights the State is bound to respect, who are farmed out to white contractors who have no respect for the State nor themselves, and who, therefore, have no respect for the convicts, but work them to the limit of their enlighturance while they have health, neglect them when sick and bury them in the least possible space of earth and wearing apparel when they are dead. This is the uniform testimony of those familiar with the vile system and its vile workings. The long line of convicts, clothing in hound-spot cheap cloth, looking like so many beasts, with the overseer guard, Winchester rite in hand, surrounded by slaves of ferocious bloodhounds, trained to the minute to hunt down and desour the "escape" standing like a messenger of death over the doomed creatures, who "leave all hope behind" gach minute they move out of the present into would be the sacrifice of the slave such a picture is yet common enough that it was in the days of slavery, when the master and the hired overseer were a law unto themselves over the life and liberty of the slave. The slave is dead, but the slave master and his savage spirit still live! He has captured the White House, the Congress and the Supreme Court of the nation, and has turned loose his bloodhounds on the black and colored citizens who fought to save the Union and to sustain Father Abraham, "two hundred thousands strong!" The following news dispatch reads like three paragraphs out of "Dante's Inferno," or Stepniak's "Darkest JACKSON: "MISS., July 22.—Thirty three plagues have hit the island, days of wooden cage on the Oakley convict farm, 20 miles southwest of Jackson, were burned to death shortly before midnight last night. All of their bodies were burned by recognition. The fire started on the first floor at the entryway, landing, cutting off the only avenue of access, and then setting fire to the enail, built 10 years ago with lumber taken from the old penitentiary building in Jackson, Missouri. The convict farm is not equipped with any form of fire protection. Two night watchmen employed the fire to set the flame to burst through the windows of the lower floor. The screams of the suffering prisoners could be heard for nearly two hours, but were unable to give any assistance. The lower floor of the cage was used for storing the prisoners, and any caused the fire to spread with adder rapidity. The Oakley farm is in charge of Sergeant S. T. Byrth. The prison hospital is also located in the lower floor, where their lives were not members of the hospital squad, but were employed in the cotton fields. We have suggested heretofore that we need a Prison Association of our own in each State to soften the hard conditions imposed upon Negro convicts. Conducted in the proper spirit, they could accomplish great good and should easily instil the sympathy and cooperation of the best white people of the South, a few of whom are still to be found, as they were in the days of slavery, by those who search them out. TOBIAS HAS WASHINGTON ON THE BRAIN. Our humptions, fellow-citizen, David Elias Tobias, who dearly loves a wordy tow, and who would be just as contentious in heaven as he is in the Equity Congress in Harlem, or Hyde Park, in London, in an article in the New York Sun, of July 24, says: "One wishes that it could truthfully be said that the spirit of true democracy predominated all institutions for the special and exclusive training of colored students, but unfortunately they did not true. In the leading education institution in the spirit of aristocracy or color" predominates and black students are often deft, demeaned many privileges granted to students whose complexion in some does not distinguish them from white people. I wish to emphasize the fact that there are all shades of "color" among people of African descent. The more advantages and privileges are granted in some institutions for the training of colored students, the authority of "color" among colored people is by no means confined to the schools. It is rampant outside the schools and is fostered by the most prominent leaders of the colored race. And then he declares that Dr. Washington draws the color line in the Tuskegee Institute, and he did so in recommendations to office in the administrations of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. This is frank nonsense. Dr. Washington always takes the best Negro material at hand needed for a given service, whether it be black or colored. That is the record. The documentary evidence Mr. Tobias says he has with which to prove Negro statements, will only justify the record as we state it. If there be more colored than black people prepared in a given situation for a given service, what would Mr. Tobias do, if he were seeking Negro preparedness and not Negro color? And why should Mr. Tobias, who is very much "yaller," or any other Negro, raise the color mission for confusion? Have we not enough confusion without that? The trouble with Mr Tobias afflicts a great many good people; they have Washington on the brain, and neyer retire at night without looking carefully under the bed to see if Dr. Washington may not be hiding under it. WHAT DO YOU CITIZENS WANT? The New York Legislature has appropriated $25,000 for the holding of an exposition in the fall to show the progress made by Negroes in this State since the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The commissioners appointed by Gov. Sulzer have planned a chart exposition, to consist of African curios, charts on farming in the South and a gathering of sociologists, who are to be brought to New York from the various parts of the country at the expense of the commission. As far as the citizens of the State have knowledge, no arrangements have been made to acquaint the public of the education and industrial progress of the New York Negroes. The explanation given out by one commissioner that the Negroes of the State have not made sufficient progress to permit the holding' of an exposition to contain the exhibits contributed by New Yorkers only does not ring true. In order to ascertain just what kind of an exposition the majority of citizens want, in view of the wholesale protests now being registered against the commission's present plans, The Age asks every Negro Citizen the State interested in the proposed celebration to write to this paper, giving your views on what sort of an exposition is wanted. Write at once. 公 some time ago that both Howard and Fisk ought to have an endowment of $1,000,000 each. These two institutions, if they will go out after it and keep at work, can succeed in getting this amount. We are glad to see that the trustees of Fisk University have gotten busy. We do not know just what the Howard trustees are doing or are planning to do, but they should get busy also. H, L. Simmons states that at least $25,000 of the $300,000 was given by the alumni of Fisk University. In many cases individuals gave as much as $1,000 EDITORIAL NOTES When all of the candidates for Mayor of New York have been nominated it will be time enough to pick the man who should win. Former President Taft will vote in Connecticut hereafter instead of in Ohio. Mr. Cleveland did the same thing. After having risen to the Presidency from the lowest to the highest offices in the United States he became a ritz of New Jersey after retiring from the White House. Rabbi Joseph Kranskopt of Philadelphia thinks the dead may talk to us. He is mistaken. The dead cannot talk to themselves except in the life of the body can and do talk to us, but when they begin to do it it is usually the call of death which few escape or have escaped. The army of young colored people who work in the summer months to make the money needed to help them in school in winter is growing larger every year. These young people are among the most promising of the race's school population. These students are likely to benefit from an education know best to value it when they get it and to how to make the best use of it. The clash between the police and a lot of colored people last week at the entrance of the 155th street subway station did not look good in print and got two men in trouble who will have trouble getting out of it, and their families must wait and suffer while they are doing so. One is from the subway on the right and left side of Lenox avenue. As long as they are allowed to remain there a lot of people who should be at home or at work will congregate on the two corners and block up the entrance to the subway. When the police interfere there is trouble a plenty. Why not make the subways a public place? It is necessary that it should be done to preserve the public peace and to benefit those who use the subways and do not use the saloons. The Pennsylvania Railroad has issued an order that all of its employees in the dining room service shall stand a physical examination once every three months, and that only those who stand 100 per cent. in the tests will be retained. The Pullman Car employees are having troubles of a sort, of which will be addressed and fixed upon service are the three greatest. The effort being made in certain Western States to have the crews of all trains of one color is one of the movements to drive the Negroes out of the sleeping and chair car service. A writer in the New York Times complains that Negro railroad men have no proper organization for their protection. Perhaps not, but it is their fault. As far back as 1880 we urged their presence and have asked them to stay. Once men in most lines of work have effective social and fraternal organizations, but few 19 protect their bread and butter interests. It is their fault. State Auditor Donahay of Ohio thinks Wilberforce University the most democratic of the state institutions, in that "there is a total absence of懒惰ness and caste in it." He denounces the fraternal societies of the white colleges as becoming a mance to higher education. He says: "Students of limited means who cannot indulge in the luxuries of membership in fraternal societies and festive organizations are ostracized from the higher social circles of the college and in many colleges find themselves absolutely prevented from securing any kind of their classes by the monopolistic tendencies of the fraternities." Perhaps the worst cases of "sophobias and caste" are to be found in the fraternal societies of the West Point Military Academy and the Annapolis Naval Academy, maintained by the Federal government with public money. Negroes and Jews are not allowed to break into it or remain in race instances; and when the police do in rare instances and when they do in rare unfortunate instances are outnumbered and browned by the officers and their fellow cadets. William McKinley's vignette on the postal cards is to give place to that of Thomas Jefferson, the Virginia dreamer, whom the British ran out of Washington when he was President. The Thomas Jefferson, Ohio, objected to the substitution, and Postmaster General Harrison of Texas answered in part as follows: "Thus much as the principles advocated by Jefferson have been recently indented by the American people, it seemed appropriate to place the vignette of the author of the Declaration of Independence on the new card. It goes without scarcity and was taken without any purpose of collecting upon the honored memory of the lamented McKinley." Most Democrats of today claim to be Jeffersonian rather than Hamiltonian in their theories of politics, but we never have seen a definition by any one who would have recognized as in any way a claim. The American people who vote don't know any more about Thomas Jefferson and his principles than they do about Postmaster General Burkelson and his, and they don't care about what the principles of Thomas Jefferson are. He certainly knows that one who declares that "that government is best that governs least." shooting, and the Japanese have sent here an expert to study American baseball wag. The Carlsleigh school Indians have made a fine reputation as all-round athlete, and have no trouble in making matches with the best white collar players. They are also hoping splendid athletic tests of one sort and another, and in the year to come the white colleges will include them in the athletic schedules. All things come to those who wait, if they have the staying ability to wait long enough. It is the best of the survival of the fittest, who hustle while they survive. Every man owes it to himself to fight to the last ditch for his good name and reputation. Joseph D. Hall of Rome, N. Y., has brought suit for $10,950 against Henry Clews, the great New York City banker, for alleged defamation of character and slander. Mr. Hall is only a Negro laborer of Rome. He purchased a small piece of property some years ago, and when he sought to sell it Mr. Clews questioned the title and ordered Mr. Hall to vacate. Mr. Hall brought a counter suit to determine title. He got judgment in his favor, but had to pay the costs. He now sues for alleged defamation of character and slander. The property is valued at only $1,000. Mr. Clews is father-in-law of Mr. Herbert Parsons, who used to be a few years ago the whole thing in the Republican politics of New York county. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS (BOBERTS THE BAKER MAN. Have you ever been to Boley? If you have got you of course heard of this prosperous town out in Oklahoma. It has some three thousand inhabitants, all Negroes. This is an up-to-date town. It has banks, first-class dry goods stores, drug stores, groceries, cotton gins, steam laundries, bottling plants, a telephone system. It is on the main line of a railroad. The ticket agent, telegraph operator and other persons connected with the business of the railroad in Boley are colored. It has often been said that no considerable number of Negroes could live together without disorder, strife and lawlessness. Boley is the refutation of this slander. It is the universal testimony that Boley is one of the most orderly towns in Oklahoma. In fact the constable and police officers of the town are almost needless. One of the reasons why Boley is such an orderly, prosperous town is because of the high character of the -people who have settled there. Caughey W. Roberts, the subject of this sketch, is a fine example of the class of people who are making Boley famous and the Napoleon's forces can build up a prosperous and orderly community. Mr. Roberts runs the leading bakery in the town. He is up to date in the conducting of his business and is one of the most progressive business men in that progressive town. The net profits from his business amount to from $1,200 to $1,500 annually. In addition to doing what he can make his business a success, he also takes care of church and Sunday school work and in other activities which make for the moral uplift of the community. Mr. Roberts attributes much of his success to the hustling spirit of work and of thoroughness, which he acquired while a student at Tuskogee Institute. In doing what he can for the general improvement of the community he says has "made a difference in the lives of those who" His home was originally in Valdaosa, Ga., but after his graduation in 1906 he followed Horace Greeley's advice and went West to grow up with the country. Although he has been in business but a few years he has accumulated considerable property in Boley, Taft, Chayview and other Oklahoma towns. The success of Roberts in the bakery industry exemplifies the work done along this line in all parts of the South. In this field Negroes have an opportunity much greater than that they had in the field of catering twenty to fifty years ago in Northern cities. As long as there are people in the world just so long must they be fed. There will always be a demand for bakeries. In the South in the next few years there will be a demand than ever for those. Here is the opportunity for him who will take advantage of it. Caughey W. Roberta's success in the bakery business also demonstrates the value of learning one of the many trades which are taught at Tuskegee Institute. If he had not learned a business netting $1,200 to $1,500 a year, he a day laborer, earning only $300 or $400 a year. MY LIFE WAS KIND. (From the Christian Recorder) It is something, when the day draws to a close. To say, "Tho I have borne a burdened mind, Have tasted neither pleasure, nor repose. Yet this remains to all men, friends and I have been kind." Its something, when I hear Death's cry Upon a stair, that his swift eye shakes Open my heart old wounds that often bleed For others, but no heart I injured I have been kind. Praise will not comfort e when I am dead. Yet should one come, by tenderness weaken My heart would know if he stopped me And kissed my lips for memory, and "This man was kind." O Lord, when from Thy throne Thy love me. Remember, the I was perverse and I My heart went out to men in mourn I gave what little store I had to Thee.

Henson, Agent THIS BOOK FREE OR HAMN'S FUTURE HOMEFOLD REVIEWS SOME --- LAFAYETTE THEATRE FIGHTER SHOWS CLASS (BL LESTER A. WALTON.) THERE seems to be some likelihood of the stage occupying a position to the Big Four of a position to the Big Tour of pugilism — Johnson, Langford, Jeannette and McVea—analogous to that of a port to a vessel in a storm. Just now the pugilistic seas are indeed turbulent, and although our colored fighters are the acknowledged masters of the situation, yet when it comes to turning their fistic prowess into dollars their barks meet with rough sailing. Last week Jack Johnson took unto himself the stage for a living, and this week Joe Jeannette made his debut before the footlights at the Lafayette Theatre. Sam Langford is said to be on his way to America to get on a match with Jeannette. The Hoboken fighter is likely to be abroad when Langford visits the United States, as he has been booked to appear in a number of the music halls abroad. When Langford learns that the Boxing Commission in New York is opposed to colored and white fighters meeting in boxing contests he, too, will probably cast a friendly eye toward the stage. Although Jeannette is not the champion heavyweight of the world, the interest manifested in his appearance at the Lafayette and the weather conditions seem to be on a par. Harlem has many fight enthusiasts, which is being demonstrated this week by the big business Manager Nibur, is doing, and in hot weather, too. The devotee of pugilism in Harlem may not be as noisy as a baseball fan, but he could never become an inmate of a deaf and dumb institution. There is as much difference between him and the clam as there is between the "L" and the subway. Jeannette is booked to appear in a three-round exhibition with Frank Moran at the Lafayette throughout the week. At the last performance Monday evening the fighters boxed but two rounds and a fraction, there being a hitch in arrangements. Joe Jeannette was responsible for the stage waits between the two heavyweights, as he accidentally uncorked a claret punch that caused the claret to gush from a gash over Moran's eye like oil from an oil well. This piece of acting, which was not down on the program, occurred in the second round. While Moran retired to the wings for temporary repairs, Joe Jeannette sat in his corner and the orchestra began to play: "You Made Me Love You." Then somebody remarked that Jeannette ought to get up and sing a parody on the song, the title of which should be: "You Made Me Hit You, But I Didn't Mean to Do It." But the Hoboken fighter sat in his corner and took up the time explaining to his manager, Dan McKetrick, that he had no aspirations to make Moran look gory. Moran pluckily returned to finish the third round after Dan McKetrick had announced that the white fighter would be unable to finish the contest. When hostilities were resumed it was as apparent to the onlookers as are the objects under a diaphanous skirt, that Jeannette was loath to do any mixing up. He did not allow Moran to hit him, but he did not hit Moran. The only punching done was when Moran hit the atmosphere hitting at Jeannette. The one-sided boxing exhibitions staged this week at the Lafayette Theatre by Jeannette and Moran show what a pronounced advantage the colored heavyweights have over the white heavyweights of to-day. Moran is regarded as one of the most hopeful of "white hopes," but were he and Jeannette to be turned loose in a ring and instructed to try to break the speed limit there would be work for the coroner the next day, and Jeannette would be present to testify. Maybe the Boxing Comission has been prompted to draw the color line from a humane standpoint. But with the ban put on colored and white fighters meeting in the ring in many cities in this country and elsewhere I find myself wondering when the white race ever expects to win back the heavyweight championship title. In his contests with Moran, Joe Jeannette gives evidence of being very pert and agile on his feet. For a big man he not only ducks quickly but gracefully. Monday evening in the first round the two contestants exchanged a few blows, but Jeannette appeared to be more intent on keeping Moran from hitting him than he was to tapping the "white hope." After-viewing Jeannette's work at the Lafayette, although his boxing with Moran was like attending a Sunday school picnic, I find it impossible to rank the Hoboken fighter with Jack Johnson. The indiscreet champion heavyweight has the edge on Jeannette, Langford and McVea. Unless dissipation undermines Johnson's health (and he is not the gay and giddy high-roller some newspapers would have us believe), the former Galvestonian will be cock of the walk for several years to come. Strange to relate about Johnson he has not been called upon to extend himself in his lights in recent years and the public does not know what he can do if given a red-hot static argument. In his battle with Jeffries the champion was not compelled to exert himself to any extent, and the meeting was more of a wrestling contest than a boxing match. When Johnson fought Flynn on July 4, 1912, he spent most of his time keeping the fireman from butting him with his head. It may be that Johnson will show the white feather if severely pummeled; that is, maybe he will; then maybe he won't. However, we do know that he has not been called upon to disclose just how much he knows as a ring general. This unbiased opinion is given of Johnson't standing as a fighter, despite the fact that he has done his race much harm by his many acts of indiscretion. True, no race should be judged by the actions of a prizefighter, who is not expected to be a reformer or a moralist, but the Negro race has been unfortunately placed in such a position, nevertheless. But back to Joe Jeannette, who is appearing at the Lafayette Theatre, this week. He ranks as one of our four great fighters of today; but he is no Jack Johnson. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

Miss Wells has lost none of her personal charm and her wardrobe is very alluring to the eye.

NEGRO MOTION PICTURES Will Foster, well known in theatrical circles, has organized a company in Chicago which is to engage in manufacturing motion pictures dealing exclusively with Negro life. Colored actors will be used in making the pictures. The venture promises to open a big field for the colored actor. The present company is headed by Lottie Grady, late of the Smart Set Company. The first picture manufactured by the new concern is being shown at the Grand Theatre. Chicago this week, and is causing much favorable comment on State street. PATTI IN NEW COMEDY R. Voeckel, who has been directing the tours of the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company for the past seventeen years, announces that the eighteenth consecutive season will open at Goshen, NY, on September 8, and will continue for the usual forty weeks. The tour embraces only the largest of the one night stands in the South, Middle West and Tennessee, as well as a twelve weeks' tour from the Missouri River to California and return, where it is intended to pick up the better class of Stair & Havlin week stands, including Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, Brooklyn and Boston. The company this year, as all others is headed by Mme. Sissieretta Jones, the original "Black Patti" who enjoys the distinction of being the greatest singer of her race. "Happy" Julius Glenn will do the principal comedy work. Mr. Voekkel has accepted Will A. Cooke's unnamed three-act musical comedy which will give Mme. Jones a better opportunity to show her talent. The widely known singer believes that she will appear in the new production to more advantage than in years. The new comedy affords excellent opportunities for handsome wardrobe and stage settings. The roster of the company includes thirty of the best known performers in the business, a bevy of stage beauties whose special duties will he to introduce to the Southern folk the latest turkey trot and tango dances. TREATISE ON NEGROMUSIC "Afro-American Music—A Study of Music of Negroes," is the subject of a series of articles appearing in the New York Sunday Tribune from the pen of Henry E. Krebhiel, musical critic of that paper, and perhaps the best equipped writer on musical subjects on the Metropolitan press. Mr. Krebhiel has, for years, given, painstaking and exhaustive study to the folk-song of the Negroes, and has not failed to avail himself of every possible source of information offering whereby his range of knowledge might be broadened. Slave songs, camp meeting songs, work songs, voodoo songs, in fact, every phase of music into which the vagaries of the Negro singer has led him, has been entered into by the writer and the origin and inspiration sought for. A number of melodies have been gleaned. issued in book form from the press of G. Schirmer, music publisher, New York. This book will be the most authoritative presentation of original Negro music yet given to the world. In the issue of July 20, chapter 3 of the series is given, and this treats of the religious tendency of Negro music, together with the use of music by the Negroes in their work in the field. Says Mr. Krebbiel: Having looked into the genesis of the folk songs of the American Nerds, I purpose to lay a foundation for an examination into some of the musical idioms which characterize them. Something must be said about the various classes of songs and their use. Here the most striking fact that presents itself is the predominance of hymns, or religious songs. The reason, for this will readily be found by those who are willing to accept Herbert Spencer's theory of the origin of music and my definition of folklore. Slavery was the sorrow of the Southern blacks; religion was their comfort and refuge. That religion was not a dogmatic, philosophical or even ethical system so much as an emotional experience. These hymns, for Mr. Albrecht, his devoted son to Slave Songs of the United States, "will be found peculiarly interesting in illustrating the feelings, opinions and habits of the slaves. One of their customs, often alluded to in the songs, is that of wandering through the woods and swamps when under religious excitement, like the ancient bacchantes." "Almost all their songs were thoroughly religious in their tone," says Colonel Hagginson, "and were in a minor key, both as to words and music. The attitude is always the same, and, as a commentary on the life of the race, is infinitely pathetic. Nothing but patience for this life—nothing but triumph in the next. Sometimes the present predominates, sometimes the future; but the combination is always implied. "Concerning the prevalent mode of the songs Colonel Higginson is in error; they are predominantly major, not minor. The mistake is a common person who have no technical training in music and who have been taught that suffering always expresses itself in the minor mode. A great majority of those who write about savage or primitive music, generally set it down as minor whenever it has a melancholy cast. Writing in the Century Magazine for August, 1899, Marion Alexander Haskell said: "The musical talent of the uneducated Negro finds almost its only expression in religious song, and for this there is a simple explanation. A race strongly imbued with religious sentiment, one rarely finds among them an adult who has not gone through that emotional experience known as conversion." There is nothing strange in the fact that the original collectors of slave songs and later students of slave life in America should thus recognize the psychological origin of Negro song, for they were familiar with the phenomena which accompanied it; but it is worthy of note that a foreigner, who approached the subject on its scientific and artistic side only and to whom all such phenomena must have seemed strange, should have been equally appreciative. In his monograph, "La Musique chen les Peuples indigines du I.-Amérique du Nord," M. Julien Tiernet, after describing a camp meeting as he had learned to know it from the descriptions of others, says: "It is indeftable, as all who have made a special study of the question agree, that it is in these superheated religious assemblies that the most genuine (plus chair) songs in the Negro repertory, had their origin. They use them on all occasions. Like all peoples of low culture, the Negroes accompany their manual labors with song Noteworthy are the "corn song," which are sung in the harvest season to stimulate the gathering of the grain. The efficacy of these songs is so well recognized that the owners of the plantations extra eager to sineer the benefits of being the abode of boreas. These songs, however, have no distinctive character; they are religious hymns. The same holds true of the songs sung by Negroes for their diversion when at rest in their cabins in the family circle or for the dance. Such a use need not surprise us when we have seen their religious meetings degenerate into dishevelled dances under the influence of the same song." The "dishevelled dance" to which M. Tierrot alludes is the "about" which in the days of slavery flourished chiefly in South Carolina and the states south of it. "It appears to be found in Florida," says Mr. Allen in his preface to "Slave" says Mr. "but in North Carolina or Virginia." I have a hymn taken down from the lips of an old slave woman in Kentucky which the collector (Miss Mildred J. Hill of Louisville, to whom I am indebted for several interesting specimens) design- lated in a about, and it is probable that the custom was more widely extended than Mr. Allen and his collaborators, who gleaned chiefly in South Carolina and Gulf States knew that the term "shouting" is used in Virginia "in reference to a peculiar motion of the body not wholly unlike the Carolina abooting." Very keenly he surmises, too, that it is not unlike that this remarkable religious ceremony is a relic of some native African dance, as the Romalika is of the classic Pyrrole. The editors of "Slave Songs" were liberal-minded people, who, though engaged in philanthropic work in behalf of the freedmen, were competent cultural rather than religious activities in directing attention to Nero songs. They devised the fact that circumstances made the collection almost wholly religious. Mr. Allen wrote: "I never fairly heard a peculiar song among the Port Royal freedmen, and never saw a musical instrument among them. The last violin, owned by a 'worldly man,' disappeared from Coffin's Point 'de year gun shoot at Bay Plint' (l. e. November, 1861). In other parts of the South 'fiddle songs,' 'devil songs,' 'corn songs,' 'big tunes' and what not, are common; all the world knows the banjo and the 'Jim Crow' songs of thirty years ago. We have succeeded in obtaining only a very few songs of this character. Our inter-works with the colored people has closely through the work of the Woodman's Commission, which deals with the serious and earnest side of 'character,' and, discussing 'cell character of the songs' prints, he says: 'It is very we had found it possible if their secular music one to another con- ```markdown ``` clusion as to the proportion of the parabaric element." M. Tiernot's generalisations on Negro music, to which it may be said, denies all African attributes because the blacks have forgotten the language and customs of their ancestors, were based chiefly on reports of pluriatric life in which old French and Spanish influences were less potent than English. He recognizes the existence of a species of dance song in which French influences have been predominantly formative, however, and discusses them in an interesting and instructive manner. They are the patrons songs of the black creoles of Louisiana, concerning which I shall also have something to do due time. There are periods of settlement of natre—the latter characteristic. I believe, a relic of their African source. There is another, smaller, body of songs outside of the religious domain to which the spirituals give expression, which would, I am convinced, have been of large value in proving the persistence of African idioms in exotic American songs if it had been possible to obtain a sufficient number of them to make a comparative study possible. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and I very much question whether it will ever be done. The investigation has been postponed too long. The opportunity would have been incalculably greater half a century ago, when the blacks were still getting some of these songs three-five years or so ago, when much more of this music was in existence than now, and though I had the help of so enthusiastic folklorist as the late Lafcadio Hearn, they eluded me. A few specimens came into my hands, but they proved to be of no value, chiefly because it was obvious that they had not been correctly transcribed. Imperails 10: Providence Stora 3.

James Reese Europe—Exclusive Society Orchestr The Man Farthest Down Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education, Ex This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a man illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery," and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with 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. a RE Pr oe eR CR ee eee acc en oe a RE a ey Me eee Se ie Oe hy - i ° a - "mantis a fee oem " UBS al “4 g ie a ae Aa vi is a s oe 4 . : Sg Se as - Kew rae ey ee ; ns ; +E gg ae P Se a ani ih aed _——), PB ar te 7 a Toe re Si are aa P # fn. , ‘ ‘eS re a - cb Pie ; a Ce a ca | Sy 4 Ef eu 4, an aaa Bi @ of 2 « 3B eer _ of , Py. _ ee . 3 ; i 4 ‘ ed e z ER: ae “i ee Coen cr Pree Sg ae ow te Re ee SEIS, anh - as ae oe - oF .
