VOL. XXVI. No. 45. WHO ISSUED "JIM CROW" ORDER? Senator Clapp Presents Bill Asking That an Investigation Be Held BILL UPSELS DEMOCRATS Some Colored Clerks in Departments Said to be Getting "Cold Feet" and Are not so Clamorous as a Month Ago. PATTERSON IS DENOUNCED Cuts a Pathetic Figure by Withdrawing Name After It Has Been Sent to Senate as Register of the Treasury. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., August 6.—After the disgusting spectacle of Adam E. Patterson, the colored lawyer of Oklahoma, withdrawing his name, declining the appointment as Register of the Treasury, the colored residents of the capital city have been temporarily put in good humor by a resolution presented by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, demanding an investigation to determine who is responsible for the order to segregate the clerks in the Post Office Department. It is said that the Post Office Department is badly frightened over the Clapp resolution, as those responsible for the "Jim Crowing" of Government employees know full well that they would be the laughing stock of the country were their un-American tactics fully exposed. The Democrat in the Senate has already been placed in an embarrassing position by such menaces to the country as Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith, are not at all pleased with the prospects of having a "Jim Crow" investigation, and are doing all in their power to throttle the heroic attempt of Senator Clapp to stop segregation in the departments at Washington. Senator Clapp's resolution follows: Whereas it is reported that there has been a segregation order issued by some unknown source or authority in the Post Office Department; and Whereas the clerks and employees have worked together peacefully for over fifty years; and Whereas the said segregation order will cost the Government of the United States over $150,000; Therefore be it RESOLVE! That the Committee on Post Office and Post Roads be, and they are hereby, authorized to inquire into and to report by what authority the mild segregation order was issued and what necessity, if any, exists for such order in the executive department at least, perhaps among the employees of the department, which order makes it very inconvenient for the clerks. Self Respecting Negroes to Give Clapp Support. It is reported that the charge that colored clerks are being "Jim Crowed" in the Treasury Department is to be also investigated. Already, however, some of the colored clerks who were protesting against discrimination a month ago are getting "cold feet," and are disposed to keep their mouths shut. They would rather be humiliated and kicked about than lose their jobs. To them principle means nothing, but money everything. The substantial Negroes in Washington and throughout the country are expected to strongly support Senator Clapp in his fight against "Jim Crowism." Even the colored Democrats are not backward in condemning the infantile course pursued by Adam E. Patterson when he found there would be some opposition to his confirmation as Register of the Treasury. Patterson's withdrawal stunt has not caused those disposed to be friendly to have increased interest for the race. In all fairness to President Wilson, who has not shown a disposition to be the Negro's friend up to date, he did ask Patterson to withdraw his name. The nation's chief executive, it is said, intended to demand Patterson's confirmation. But Senator Gore, after urging Patterson's appointment, showed why it was absolutely necessary that play the role of a quitter in order to move an Indian as his successor. So the Negro race, with its thousands of votes, was subjected to deep humiliation because Patterson proved himself a uncleess weakling. That an Indian is a representative citizen than a Negro is not conceded by Negroes who know something of themselves. Negroes here are wondering how Gabe Parker, the Indian, will take the interrogation order issued by the Treasurer Department, which caused the Hon. I.C. Napier to resign. They say if he is an Indian, then he, in the strict sense, is a colored man, and should oppose the order to separate the white and colored clerks. SAVED MANY LIVES Frank Thomas, Negro Porter, Hero of Big Hotel Pine at Blue Mountain House—Although Half sufficed by Smoke Thomas Awakened Guests and Led Them to Safety. Special to Tug New York Am: PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 6—In imminent peril himself and half suffocated from the dense and stifling smoke which pervaded every hallway and room. Frank Thomas, a Negro porter of the Blue Mountain House at Pen Mar, Pa., saved the loss of many lives during a fire at that hotel in which two men were seriously hurt, 200 lives endangered, and which resulted in a financial loss of approximately $300,000. The fire occurred at an early hour Tuesday morning. August 5. Starting in the main building, the fire spread so rapidly the patrons were unable to save any of their belongings and were driven, half clothed, to the lawns. The building was quickly destroyed and it was impossible to save any of the furniture. According to the testimony of one of the guests, Arthur Marks, of Newberne, N. C., who reached Philadelphia Tuesday morning. Thomas, though half suffocated by the smoke, went from door to door awakening the guests. Then gathering them together, he would call "This way out!" and lead them to safety. Thomas went back time after time, and did not leave the building finally until certain that every one was out. Many of those saved were old, feeble and ill, accompanied either by nurses or relatives. Many were children who were taken out of bed and taken outside to safety before they realized they were in peril. Thomas' name will probably be presented to the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission as entitled to recognition and reward for heroism. WANTS SUPREME COURT G.U.O.O.F. ABOLISHED District Grand Master W. David Brown, in Address, Says Supreme Court Has Cost a Needless Expenditure of $6,553.20—Big Gathering of Odd Fellows at Saratoga Meeting. Served to Tux New York and Wilkesboro, N. J. B. 6.—The establishment of the Supreme Court, which he characterized as "the eating sore of the National Treasury of the Odd Fellows," and the launching of a boom for the re-election of Edward H. Morris of Chicago, were the features of the address delivered by District Grand Master Brown at the twenty-ninth annual session of District Grand Lodge. No. 2. The attendance at the session is the largest in years, and the reports show the order to be in good condition. During his address District Grand Master Brown said: "We regret to see the disastrous financial results of the establishment of our Supreme Court, by the enactment of that proposition at the Fifteenth B. M. C. This judicial branch as created has been a complete failure, which has caused dissatisfaction throughout the whole national jurisdiction. The Supreme Court, from July, 1911, to February, 1913, has held four sessions and has tried and determined twenty-six appeals, at a cost to the order of $6,553.20. Does the transferring of a constitutional right and duty of the S. C. M. to a Supreme Court warrant such an expenditure of the order's funds? New York loudly proclaims no, and believes that every jurisdiction will join with New York in demanding the repeal of the eating sore to our national treasury. "We, as loyal Odd Fellows of New York State, desire the National Grand Master to explain to the representatives of the Seventeenth B. M. C., which will convene in Boston, Mass., September 14th, 1914, and to the members of the order throughout the American jurisdiction: (1) Why was that meeting of the Supreme Court convened in St. Paul, Minn., in April, 1912? (2) Why did the traveling expenses of two or more members of the Court to St. Paul cost the order $300? We have not seen any results of that meeting, and we feel that a great injustice has been done, and we demand an explanation. National Grand Master Morris' Visit ta New York. "We, the officers and members of the jurisdiction of New York, desiring to show our thanks and appreciation to Hon. Edward H. Morris, for his ability and foresight in piloting this old order from the snare and shoals of the Sixteenth B. M. C., and for the bravery exhibited in Atlanta, Ga.; when everything looked dark, when great obstacles were placed in the way of progress and our old bark was about to strike an iceberg, he manned the ship and landed it in safety, to the admiration of every Odd Fellow. "We tendered him a banquet and testimonial, July 12 and 1913, in New York City. We need not say this was a grand success. The enthusiasm of the brothers and sisters was something wonderful. Our present to him was a silver punch bowl, six silver cups, silver ladle and tray, the cost of which we do not desire to publish in these proceedings. "As Grand Master Morris has been elected to only one term, we, the Odd Fellows of New York, place in nomination, for re-election as National Grand Master, Hon. Edward H. Morris of Chicago, Ill., and we request every delegate to the Seventeenth B. M. C. who has our order at heart to second the nomination. The condition of our order (Continued on Page 71) NOTICE THE NEGROES OF Y STATE DEMAND AN EXHIBITION ON THEIR WORK ONLY. Russell GIVE LIE TO WHITE REALTY MEN'S CHARGES John G. Taylor at it Again to Inflame Harlem Property Owners NEGROES ARE NOT DISTURBED White They Laugh at Clownish Actions of Whites They Resent Charges, Which are Made Because of Ignorance. Certain white men are making an effort to injure the Negroes of New York, especially of the Harlem section, by imputing gross immorality and lawlessness to the race as a whole. Distorted and untrue statements have been given publicity by an irresponsible sheet published in the Harlem section, which secures its readers by the easy process of giving them the paper without charges. It is literally thrown at the people's feet. A reputed organization of white men, called the Property Owners' Protective Association, of which one J. G. Taylor, erstwhile real estate agent and always a Negro hater, is president, is holding meetings with the object of raising a fund by which properties in the Harlem section can be controlled by the whites and the Negroes prevented from securing it for residential purposes. That the association's contentions may be bolstered up, the most vile and vicious charges are made against Negroes—charges which are absolutely untrue and which could have their conception only in a depraved and distorted consciousness. That colored people are dangerous, that white women and children are in constant peril, that the Negro's mode of living is objectionable, that he is a growing menace and that white people cannot live on the same block with Negroes, were some of the wild and fantastic statements made. The climax of absurdity was reached when one Henry Holding. 111 West 130th street, wound up a frenzied diatribe by shiaking: "Drive them out, and send them to the slums where they belong!" Charges Are Untrue. As a matter of fact, none of these charges are true. The Negroes of Harlem are not to be classed as vicious and immoral as a whole. There is no racial settlement in New York, whether composed of Jews, Italians, Irish, Greeks, Chinese, or any other peoples, whose general average of intelligence, morality and clean and sane living will total as high as that of the Harlem Negroes. High government officials, clerks and carriers in the postal service, doctors, lawyers, dentists, pharmacists, chiropodists, artists, musicians, ministers, contractors, engineers, machinists, representatives of every profession and trade, with men and women engaged in every line of business endeavor, make up the Negro population of Harlem.

Baltimore, Md., August 6.—The West Segregation has been knocked out by the Court of Appeals. Another ordinance is already being talked of, but the Negro citizens believe they can defeat all segregation measures in the higher courts. The decision is regarded as a big victory for the colored people. Counselor W. Ashbie Hawkins conducted the case in the lower and appellate courts. BUY BIG LOT OF MERCHANDISE. Special to THE NEW York Ann. BALTIMORE, Md.. August 6—A number of colored business men from the South have been here during the past week, buying goods for their stores. Among them were C. H. Hayward, of Port Royal, S. C.; E. L. Ayres, of Meridian, Miss.; and W. P. Evans, of Laurenburg, N.C. These men came to Baltimore with a number of merchants that local wholesale dealers had brought from the South, and are said to have ordered over $30,000 worth of merchandise. In speaking to a representative on THE Age on Negro progress, Mr. Evans said he believed that much of the prejudicial conditions existing against the race would pass away when the Negro like the Jew, enters the commercial field and wins success. Mr. Evans runs a general store, carrying from a pin to a plow. He has as much as $20,000 worth of stock on hand at times. He will probably attend the annual session of the Negro Business League at Philadelphia. EDUCATORS GATHER AT LITTLE ROCK, ARK. EDUCATORS GATHER AT LITTLE ROCK, ARK. 10th Annual Session of the National Association of Teachers Held INTERESTING ADDRESSES M. W. Dogan Elected President—Next Session of Association Will Be Held at Savannah, Ga. Special to THE NEW TORK AGR. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. August 5. With a big mass meeting in the First Baptist Church, the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools brought its tenth annual session to a close Sunday afternoon, August 3. The session opened Wednesday night, July 30, with the usual formalities of welcome and response, and with an able address by President M. W. Dogan. The pace set by President Dogan was kept up each evening of the convention, with R. R. Wright, H. T. Kealing and W. T. Vernon as the orators. Probably at no session during the ten years of the association's history have so many leading educators of the race been in attendance, from so many different States. Among these were Dr. W. T. Vernon, president Campbell College Jackson, Miss.; John Hope, president Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga. R. S. Lovinggood, president Samuel Houston College, Austin, Tex.; H. T.

Keeping a high standard, keeping in touch with community life, the college and the ministry, the training of teachers, improving the physical surroundings of the school house were some of the subjects the convention deliber- (Choctaw on Page 8). HERO MEETS DEATH David J. L. Dickinson, Colored 'Bee Driver, Lease Life While Attempting to Save Life of Mrs. F. A. Keesing, Wife of Worthy Real Estate Dealer, He Could Not Swim. Special to The New York Azz. STROUDSBURG, Pa., August 5.—In trying to save Mrs. Mary F. A. Keesing, wife of a wealthy New York real estate broker, from drowning, David J. Dickinson, 24 years old, a colored 'bus driver at the Kittatimmy Hotel, lost his life in the Delaware river a few days ago. Dickinson could not swim, but hearing Mrs. Keesing's screams for help heroically plunged into the treacherous water to rescue the New York woman. Mrs. Keesing, her daughter Dorothy and governess, Miss Joslyn, accompanied by Irish Miss and Miss Anita Stetson, the latter two of Philadelphia, and all guests at the River Farm House, H. A. Crossdale, proprietor, composed a jolly party of bathers. All of the women were good swimmers and the depth of the water, with its swift current and cold temperature, offered no fears to them. The party had enjoyed themselves for nearly half an hour when Mrs. Keesing, after a dive from the springing board, was observed to disappear from sight and not return to the surface. Miss Joslyn, who was near, cried to her mistress to snatch hold of her foot, but received no reply. Horrified she rushed toward shore crying for help. Dickinson was working nearby and without hesitating he plunged into the water. In the meantime, however, Miss Stetson had heroically seized the clothing of the dying woman and managed to pull her toward shore while Dickinson was battling with a treacherous back current. Before the body of the first victim was on shore, the second had been swallowed up in the watery grave. WANTS LYNCHING OF INNOCENT STOPPED Memphis Commercial Appeal Disguised with Viciousness of Whites who Murder Negroes—Says Killing of Negroes by White People Should be Stopped. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. MEMPHIS, Tenn., August 5.—Such a favorite pastime has the lynching of innocent Negroes become in the South that the Memphis Commercial Appeal has found it necessary to condemn the radical whites for their viciousness, "Low Work" is the heading of an editorial in which the Commercial Appeal speaks out as follows: The killing of Negroes by white people in order to fatten an average ought to be stopped, and killing Negroes just because one is in a bad humor ought also to be stopped. Two apparently inoffensive Negroes good farm hands, real wealth producers, were assassinated near Germantown a few days ago. The Negroes had furnished no possible motive for the deed. So far as any one knows they were quiet and orderly, as country people of their class usually are. They worked and played and leafed, just like other country Negroes. Now, the Negro is about the only dependable tiller of the soil in these parts. Competition for existence is not keen enough to force many white people into the harder work. The Negro also is very useful as a distributor of money. About all he gets goes through his fingers. Commercially, then, he is a very valuable asset. It is not good business to kill them. When the Negro enters into the contest with the white man he is already at a disadvantage, and therefore the truly brave white man never seeks a quarrel with Negroes. He knows that the Negro is at a disadvantage, and he does not desire to take advantage of him. Furthermore, the white man of courage can most always control the Negro without being compelled to resort to violence. COMMON·SINSE·ADDRESS John M. Royall Defends Position and That of Citizens of New York in Regard to Work of Emancipation Proclamation Commission. John M. Royall, the real estate wizard of Harlem, with offices at 2W 134th street. Last Monday night at Salem M. F. Church, won the applause of his hearers in a pointed address teeming with facts and common sense, as well as civic interest, in which he defined his position as well as that of the people of the State of New York in regard to the work of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission. His speech truly represented the sentiments of the people, his subject being "The Affairs of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission As I See It." Every one of his sentences was filled with facts which could not be denied and the speech was punctured with applause. Capt. Blount of the Provisional Regiment, organized by the Equity Congress, a Spanish-American war veteran, presided. Mr. Royall's address follows. "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Bitter experiences which the nine men on the Emancipation Proclamation Commission are having, teach the needful lesson of co-operation—that public demand is the highest law—and that the (Continued on Page 7) PRICE FIVE CENTS MINISTERS IN HEATED DEBATE Discuss Affairs of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission Local Ministers Declare They Took Exceptions to Particular toward Ministers out of New York City. Tries to Explain That There is No Politics in Commission and Later Declares He Kept Fred R. Moore Off Because of Politics. Thirty-five or forty ministers of all denominations met Tuesday afternoon at the headquarters of the Enamcipation Proclamation Commission, corner Seventh avenue and 131st street, pursuant to an invitation from the Rev. W. A. Byrd of Rochester,* commissioner in charge of the religious congress to be held in connection with the celebration. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Byrd. Several members of the commission were present to confer with the ministers. Among the ministers present were the Revs. W. H. Brooks, W. P. Hayes, B. W. Arnett, Granville Hunt, F. A. Cullen, P. C. James, George Frazier Miller, W. G. Alexander, B. Judd, C. Martin, E. W. Daniels, L. G. Twisby, W. S. Holder, Booker, Desverney and Brown. Robert N. Wood, chairman of the commission, was present, and addressed the ministers at the opening of the meeting. He spoke of the work of the African Negro in erecting temples etc. and of the power of the African Negro. He referred to the accomplishments that power by the carving of Negro heads and faces on the walls of buildings and on monuments erected by them. The Negro ought to show the world his development. Referring to the fact that a man from out of town was at the head of the religious department of the exposition, he said that Dr. Byrd had been appointed by the Governor, and laced at the head of the religious congress, but that as chairman of the commission he would be willing to have a New York minister as chairman of the local committee. In closing he asked the ministers present for an expression of their views. ```markdown ``` Rev. James Wants Information. The Rev. P. C. James, a baptist minister, started the ball rolling by questioning the makeup of the program, on which, he said, 95 per cent of the ministers were out-of-town men. Dr. Byrd attempted to cut off any discussion or consideration of this question, saying it had been fully threshed out and settled at a previous meeting. Chairman Wood interfered and prevented the throttling of the question by demanding to know himself what had been done. Said the ministers had been invited to talk and they must be given opportunity. Dr. Byrd insisted upon his rights as chairman of the meeting and said he would exercise his authority by limiting debate to five minutes. Mr. James spoke of a meeting of the ministers with a committee of citizens at which certain phases of the matter had been discussed, and warned Dr. Byrd that in the name of harmony he had better be heard. The men spoke as long as they wanted to. The Rev. Granville Hunt wanted to know were the ministers to talk or be talked to. New York ministers, he said, were dissatisfied because outside ministers were invited to the exclusion of local ministers. He declared the chairman had been premature in sending out invitations before consulting the local ministers. In reply Dr. Byrd said that two representatives from each denomination were requested to make up a list of ten representative clergymen and five laymen from their respective denominations; these representatives to be invited to attend the exposition as guests of the commission. He said that the religious congress would be conducted by all denomination doing religious work in the United States, and not in New York alone, but that New York would be represented. The Rev. F. A. Cullen, at whose church the citizens' meeting referred to by Mr. James had been held, was the next speaker. Referring to that meeting he said he knew nothing of it until the men came to hold it. He was on the point of leaving to attend to some business when they came and that was his first knowledge of it. Statements had been made at this meeting that the law required the exposition to be held by and for the people of New York. But he had visited the headquarters of the commission during the day and had read the law again. That reading, he said, had shown him that the commission had the prerogative to go outside of the State if they saw fit. Dr. W. H. Brooks, who had represented his denomination on the committee which selected the representative men to be invited, spoke in favor of harmony. He said there were a number of things which the commission had ‘ REENBERG’S «adies’ Hair Dressing Parlors Aeno-aMesicAn Hale 60008 SPeciLTY et Ban ‘the matter had progressed s0 far, Pathe Gesire for harteoebons cetine ne i wae willing to lay aside his personal ‘and support the movement.

He said that or she. commfttee were men as able as aay other ‘representatives of their de- nominations, ‘but that innate modesty would not allow them to pu themselre: gm the program.

Martin of the Moravian Church argued that, peancipation €on- cerned the Negroes of thé whole United States and mot New York alone. tie claimed that ali the differences arose over the application of wo prepositions. Dr. Alexander explained that outside ministers were invited to participate in the celebration, not to conduct it. That they were to be the guests of the com- mission and some of them were to be selected as speakers. The Rev, E. W. Daniels said he at- tended the “meeting: of ministers and citizens held Monday’ evening and that he deprecated the criticism that had been made at that meeting, and said he had remarked at its close that many reputations had been shattered in a short while. At this point ‘the Rev. P. C. James secured the floor, and made a motion. to indorse all that had been done by the ministers and by the comission. While this motion was ‘pending the Rev. Mr. Twisby asked why the commission had asked just_a few men and left the rest out. Dr. Byrd replied that the commis- sion, represented by himself, went be- fore the Ministers’ Union, and by their Suggestion took representative men to ce up the list to be invited. This explanation brought forth a protest that there were other representative minis ters besides those selected and Dr. Byrd qualified by saying “some of the repre- sentative men.” Ministers Take Exception. The Rev. G, Krazier Miller threw a bombshell into the meeting when he compared some oi the men present with & man who attended a mecting in Brooklyn called to protest the actions of the commission, and who explained to Mr. Miller that he was present be- cause some men had been given $25,000 to apend and “he was not in on the spending, When he declared that most of the men present were affected by the money side of the question a storm of protest arose. The Kev. Mr. Twisby declared the statement an insult, and the Rev. Mr. James, in tones trembling with passion and indignation, declared he statement to be an untruth, adding: ‘Tam from South Carolina, where men all things as they are!" Mr. Frazier wastened to pour oil on the troubled yaters, declaring that he. meant no. re- || jection; that he, too, was from South | ‘arolina, and would shake hands with | ames after the meeting.

But he acknowledged to. Fred Moore that he had given the State printing to another local Negro paper. Republican in politics. He was asked if he had not charged-that paper 30 per cent. for getting the the State printing, but he said no. he charged ‘them 25 per cent, though they had only ‘paid him $200.

ORGANIZE FOR WORK, NOT PLEASURE The Negroes of Greater New York are represented in small or large numbers in most of the gainful, the bread and butter occupations; in hotel, restaurant and house service, in messenger and porter service, in barber service, in longshoremen and cartage service, in manual labor service; but in all of them the organization is imperfect in membership and stands more for purposes of pleasure and sick and death benefits than for purposes of work—efficiency in work and betterment of work conditions and wages. As it is in New York, so it will be found, in other large centers of population. It is not that way with white organizations of the same character. The white hotel workers and barbers of New York have been much in evidence of late months as strikers for better work conditions and wages, and their large numbers and responsiveness to their leadership, which they could not have got without hard labor in working up membership and self-denial in drill education. With them the primary objects are not social fellowship and pleasure, with sick and death benefits incidentally, but work and wages, improved conditions in these, and monopolizing the advantages, "hogging" them if you will, that come of work and wages, with social pleasures and sick and death benefits rigidly subordinated to the vital question of work and wage conditions. In such places as Galveston, New Orleans, Mobile and Savannah the stevedores and longshoremen have organizations more or less strong and devoted primarily to the conditions of work and wages, but they could easily be strengthened in membership and in the great benefits of organized membership. We need organization of effective business character in the skilled and unskilled trades wherever we have ten or more workers in a given occupation in a given locality, and when there are ten such groups they should have a working alliance. It is in such a way as this that the white organizations have managed to monopolize the work in the skilled trades and are laboring earnestly to do it in the unskilled trades. Ten Negroes with a real leader can always bid on a skilled job or an unskilled one, like excavation work, because they have the capital, skill and numbers to do the work, when standing singly no one of them could secure work with a white contractor because their members, their workmen, object to working with colored people. It has come to be that way—horror of horrors!—with the Federal Government, the most outrageous and scandalous condition that has appeared in labor conditions since slave labor was outlawed by the Thirteenth Amendment. Let us learn wisdom in the hard school of experience into which circumstances have thrown us. Let us give to our trade and work organizations the serious business character white men are giving theirs, and we shall soon have better results in all directions. Self-help is our first duty. "Save thyself!" is a personal appeal to each one. There appears to be a reaction against the very vulgar discussion everywhere of Social Evils. The heat way to spread vice is to make it common by public exhibitions, conversation or publication. We gave prominence in Two Acts of July 12 to the "air cry" of Bishop Charles Spencer Smith and the Rev. Floyd G. Simons of Mother Bathol for a "Thunderer," "a great daily newspaper," to voice, to proclaim, the needs and defend the rights of the colored people, the Negro, of the United States, and now we have a similar "far cry," with somewhat more coherence in it, from Dr. L. W. Kyles, A.M. of Mother Zion, in the A. M. E. Quarterly Review, of which he is the new and very competent editor. Dr. Kyles has done the unexpected in resurrecting the Review from the dead, where it has groped or slumbered since Editor George W. Clinton ceased from journalism and became a Bishop. We turn aside to congratulate Dr. Kyles and Mother Zion on the excellence of the Review as an organ of light and leading. If it were possible to have a daily a shade more excellent than the Quarterly, Dr. Kyles' dream might become such a thing as a stubborn fact is made of. But is it possible? He says: The fact that the Negro is at present denied a hearing in the press of the country argues the necessity of a great daily newspaper operated by and for the Negro. This is perhaps one of the greatest needs of the race today. It has been demonstrated beyond the question of a doubt that it is impossible for the race to get a fair hearing in the great white papers of the country. The papers which have hitherto been friendly toward the race, and demanded a square deal for the black men, have assumed a position of apathy on all questions affecting the Negro. The Associated Press is now thoroughly southernized and only the Southern side of all questions affecting the race can get a hearing. The newspaper is a great and powerful influence in shaping the life and character of a race, and in securing rights and privileges. A great daily Negro newspaper issuing from Washington, D. C., into white and colored homes in all parts of the country would be a blessing to the race and to the country. It would be a medium through which we could set ourselves right before the world, and make a mainly fight for race rights and race recognition. We behold on every hand, almost every day, some new phase of race injustice, and race proscription. Judging from the turn which racial affairs seem to be taking, it will not be long before every right will be denied the race throughout the country. It is a thing that cannot be denied, that the white South is rapidly spreading itself, and unless the tide changes, the whole country will become southernized on all questions affecting the Negro. A daily newspaper was started in New York City some years ago by General Howard Carroll, who had grown up in journalism with George-Jones and the New York Times. It cost one million dollars to produce the first copy of the New York Recorder. It had a first-class modern equipment of machinery—plant, brains and news franchises—and experience in the production of a "thunderer," "a great newspaper." It staggered and halted from the start, and after a few years, when its whole capitalization had been devoured by expense, it was sold under the red flag for a little more than twenty-five per cent of the cost of producing the first copy. The promoters must have sunk $2,000,000 in the effort to produce another daily newspaper in New York, where there was no demand for another, there already being too many for the good of their owners or the public good. That is the situation now in New York City. More than half the morning and evening dailies could be burnt as chaff to the general advantage. There never was an honest demand for anything that did not produce an honest supply. There does not exist in the whole country an honest demand for a Negro daily newspaper of the sort Bishop Smith, Dr. Snelson and Dr. Kyles dream of, nor $1,000,000 to capitalize it, nor the steady reading and advertising constituency to support it. That is the plain truth. And yet, of the 10,000,000 colored people in the country at least 3,000,000 read white daily newspapers. There are more colored people who read "the colored column" in the Jacksonville Daily Metropolis and the Atlanta Daily Constitution than read their own Florida Sentinel and Independent published each week in each of those cities. The same condition prevails among the 147,000 colored people of Greater New York and THE ACE and white daily newspapers. One hundred thousand of them read the white dailies and some 30,000 THE ACE weekly, their own. There is neither capital, readers, advertisers nor inclination among them to capitalize and sustain THE DAILY ACE as the great daily newspapers are capitalized and sustained. The colored people of the United States are no longer children as citizens, "as men and brethren"; they are fifty years, a century, old; and while they think in big terms of the Nation and talk in big figures of the Standard Oil Company, they still do things in the terms of the hamlet and the figures of the city one-penny crap shooter. When they have $25,000 or $100,000 given them to disburse for a given purpose they spend most of it on wrangles, gew-gaws and protests. We quite agree with Dr. Kyles that it "is apparent that Negroes must get together throughout the country and form co-operating movements in defense of the race. We have been too long divided on questions which affect our welfare, and have depended too much upon external influences for the solution of our problems. We have trusted too fully the white man." Change the condition, trust ourselves more and the white man less, and we shall soon have the great weekly, the great daily, the great monthly, the great quarterly. THE AGE has done for thirty years, and is still doing, what it can to change the condition. PRESIDENT WILSON APPOINTS TWO The hopes of Negro Democrats that the President would give them a portion of the Federal appointments, after having been cast down to lowest earth for long and weary months, and out of which the life had well-nigh gone, have been revived and lifted up somewhat by the appointment of Dr. Ruckner of Indiana to succeed Mr. Fred R. Moore of New York as Minister Resident and Consul General to Liberia and of Mr. Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma to succeed Mr. James C. Napier of Tennessee as Register of the Treasury. These appointments were a surprise to us and a tremendous shock to Negro Democrats, and especially so to Bishop Alexander Walters and the Negro Democratic League, which has so much solid faith in Presidence Wilson and the star of its own destiny, and has received so large a dose of the charity that eats up hope and clamors for more when there is no more. We did not expect anything of President Wilson, and our surprise that the Negro Democrats were not forgotten at the White House is a natural incident to the unnatural situation. Bishop Walters and his organized Democrats expected to get everything, and are shocked that they did not get the two things that have been given. They must not have been consulted. We doubt if Mr. Patterson and Dr. Ruckner even belong to the national organization. Anyhow, Dr. Ruckner owes his appointment to Senator Kerns of Indiana and Mr. Patterson owes his to Senator Gore of Oklahoma. Now, we would not have Bishop Walters and his organization feel for a second that we do not sympathize with them in the sackcloth and ashes where-with the force of circumstances has clothed them. We still think that Bishop Walters' white grandfather and not his colored father in heaven led him, by the voice he says he heard, into the Democratic slaughter house. He is a very wise Bishop in these times who can recognize the true from the false in the still small voice when it calls him, especially in matters political. Even in church matters it is liable to deceive and lead the faithful astray. We know Will Dr. Ruckner be confirmed by the Senate? That is a great big question. Can Mr. Patterson afford to accept the appointment to succeed Mr. Napier, when he must in advance acquiesce in the disgraceful and degrading discrimination against his race established by the Treasury Department and because of which Mr. Napier resigned from the position? That is a personal question which Mr. Patterson must answer for himself. As for Mr. John Skelton Williams of Virginia, the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury who issued the segregation order, he could not serve under us as messenger to the editor of The Ace, because we would not have him about us, and we would not serve under him nor his insolent sort as Register to the Secretary of the Treasury, because we have more and higher American manhood than he and they. We do not believe that white Virginia and the white South have produced our sort of American manhood, the sort that believes in "doing unto others as we would that they should do unto us." Then there is that other ugly question to be answered in the case of Mr. Patterson, who is a lawyer, as in the case of Mr. Ruckner, who is a doctor—will he be confirmed? The New York Sun of July 27, in a Washington dispatch, quoted James Kirkman Vardaman, the Senatorial blackguard from Mississippi, in answer to the question, as follows: "I think the defeat of this appointment is of more importance than the passage of the tariff bill and the enactment of currency legislation. It rises like a mountain peak above the other questions of the day. I shall use every effort to defeat the confirmation. Every Senator from the South I have spoken to on the subject has expressed his intention of opposing the confirmation. "I made a trip to the White House to expose the nomination, and I also spoke with Secretary McAdoin concerning it. It seems that the appointment was made in view of Patterson's campaign activities in the interest of Democracy. I don't think much of the policy that pays party obligations at the expense of the purity of the greatest race on the elite. I shall fight every Negro appointment that is made. If a colored recorder deeds for the District of Columbia is appointed my protet will be still more vehement." This is square-toed blackguardism. As a matter of fact, there are more mulatto white people in the South and the United States than pure whites. Indeed, judged by the true standard of white, as we have it in the clouds and in Parisian marble, there is no pure white race. They are all of the mixed blood of Abraham, Lot and Laban, the three descendants of Enoch, Laineth and Noah, the fathers of Haim, Shem and Japhet. All outside this classification belong to "them which are no people." But why expect Senator Vardaman or his sort to understand this, unless an angel with a flaming sword did not take the position as President Cleveland took it, that he was elected by the votes of all the Democrats in the country, including Bisho, Walters, Dr. Ruckner and Mr. Patterson, and that he, and not Senator Vardman and his sort, is the President of the United States and head of the Democratic party. He has not taken this position as yet on the Negro question, but he has made the provocation in the Patterson appointment and will either have to stand to his guns or run away. Which will he do, stand or run? That is his business. The country really expects him to read the riot act to, Senator Vardman and the Southern Senators with him on the Negro question, and it will be disappointed in the President if the man of him deserts him and he should do otherwise. It is strictly up to the President and the Senators as to whether they will deny in the light the colored Democrate they begat in the dark. It is a delicate question to be up to them, but they have only themselves to blame. The sins of their fathers have found them out. DR. DU BOIS THE OFFICE SREKER.

Du Bois seeks to break the force of the statement made in Trin Age by correspondents, especially that from Seattle, that he personally made a bad impression in his recent trip through the far West, because his manners are nowise Chesterfieldian and his manner of addressing individuals horribly Mephistophelian. We do not think that Dr. Du Bois should seek to do anything of the sort; on the contrary, he should strive diligently to improve his manners and his manner of address. He should take pleasure in following our advice and thank us for giving it to him. In the same issue of The Crisis he speaks of us reproachfully as "The Old Age of New York," "the disreputable newspaper." Thus Brutus turned the dagger on his reputed father Caesar! Dr. Du Bois peddled The Age when he was a boy in Great Barrington and was glad to do it, and wrote some of his youngest and most joyous smart things for it when he was a student at Wilherforce, and Harvard and in far away Germany. But that was a long time ago; long for him and short for us. The world and men do not seem the same now as then, and are not. Far from it. Yes; we are old, but question if we are or ever will be "disreputable" enough to write and publish a paragraph like the following, out of an editorial in *The Crisis* for August, headed, "Burleson," the strabistical Postmaster-General from Texas, who has ordered complete separation of colored and white employees in the postal service: "It is time, therefore, that northern Democrats bestirred themselves. It is time that Negroes were aroused to action. It is no time to say I told you so." Bad as the Democrats may prove, they cannot ordain William H. Taft. The government is still ours and we have the right to protest to President, Senators and Congressmen against the machinations of Burleson and his ilk. "Bad as the Democrats may prove, they cannot outdo President William H. Taft," is as false and monstrous a statement of fact as the malice of Jurius ever hissed at his enemies. We are far from a disposition ever to impute a personal motive to public men, to race leaders, where none appears on the surface of what they say and do, for the public weal or race good should always be the dominant principle with them; but does not. Dr. Du Bois lays himself open to the truth of the public statement of others, and not of himself, that he is a candidate for the position of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Hayti, in succession to Dr. William H. Burness, by seeming temporizing with the awful situation produced for the colored people by the Democrats at Washington since March 4. When he says that "Bad as the Democrats may prove they cannot outdo' William H. Taft?" Why did he think and write and publish an editorial thing like that? THE AGC denounced President Taft's southern policy as being unrepublican and contrary to good national policy, but he never disturbed the workings of the civil service to injure colored people, nor separated public servants in the color line, nor ever suggested or sanctioned the Vardaman humbug that a Negro should not hold office by appointment of the President by and with the consent of the Senate. There were many things that he did as Secretary of War under President Roosevelt, whose personal policy in all directions we did not approve but denounced, and as President, but there never was a time when he was as offensive as President Roosevelt in his personal attitude toward the colored people or as bad as any Democrat whose name was mentioned at the Baltimore convention as a possible nominee for the presidency of the Democratic party. THE Ace is "old" and will grow older, but "disreputable" it is not and never has been in the work of race defense and uplift or other relation. Dr. Du Bois is young and may grow younger, but unless he improves his manners and his manner of address, he will grow in old in vain, and the reputation he covets as a safe "guide philosopher and friend" of the colored people will elude him in the end. Truth is truth. $ 8000 A YEAR TO LIVE ON. Everywhere throughout the Republic the high cost of living has become such a burden that persons in all grades of life, the rich and poor alike, have trouble in keeping their expenses within their incomes. All sorts of expedients for doing so are considered, but few are adopted, because people find it difficult to spend less in times of scarcity than they have been accustomed to spend in times of plenty. They do not know how to deny themselves, and consider it a painful hardship to be compelled to do so. Poor people who have been used to eating meat three times, a day think it out of the question to do with one portion, and the rich man who has been spending much upon luxuries finds it hard to deny himself them when the hard times reduce his income. But they all have to do it, the rich and the poor, or suffer for not doing it. The advent of the Democratic party to power, with schemes of reorganizing the tariff and tariff policies, has helped make the times harder by unsettling industrial and financial conditions and undermining public confidence. When the times are troublous and uncertain those who have money to invest hold back and wage-earners and tradesmen have to suffer. A poor clerk in one of the public departments at Washington has written a "catchy-fetchy" poem in derision of Secretary of State Bryan and his public statement that he cannot live on the $12,000 a year that the Government pays him, but must do outside work to help make the ends meet. The poor clerk gets but $900 a year, and finds it hard to make ends meet; so do the poor messengers and laborers in the departments who get $720 a year; but they have to do it. People can do many things they think they can't do when they have to do them. The business man with an income of $5,000 a year and his workmen with wages of $50 have to do it. They all grumble at what they get and are never satisfied whether they get much or little. It keeps the whole world in a condition of discontent and anger. Secretary Bryan is a horrible example of the national type. As a Democratic marplot he has accumulated some $500,000 of values preaching the beauties of "the simple life" to others. No man in the nation has stirred up more strife among industrial workers since 1896 than he. His nerve as a disturber of national peace and well doing has not kept pace with his greed for cash and fame. And what has all the agitation for industrial reforms amounted to since 1896? Mostly harder feelings among the people, higher prices for living, and the transfer of the Government from the competent hands of the Republican party to those of the arrogant, malignant and sectional Democratic party' with Mr. Bryan for Secretary of State and Chautauqua lecturer, Great loss! Small gain, indeed! The Democratic administration is only five months old, and has wrought a revolution in Governmental policy and public sentiment for the worse. When it has been in power four years, what then? The prophet prophesies not. EDITORIAL NOTES There will be great things doing in Philadelphia when the National Business League meets there. August 20. The program provided by the local committee, bristles with interesting events. A prince of the Kon tribe of West Africa has passed the entrance examinations to Harvard University, and Southern congressmen are still acting on the theory that the Negro is too thick headed to master the higher mathematics. Our Muscogee correspondent said in last week's AGE that many Oklahoma Negroes have moved to Canada and Mexico, and that many are talking of going to Africa. Canada and Mexico are good places to go to, provided the emigrants have the required fees and working capital and they know in advance the conditions into which they are going; but they had better remain away from Africa until the committee decided to study the conditions return and make its report. Didn't send it? Too bad. Those who have been called out of Africa in their old fathers and mothers who died in the service of the master—the slave master—should be very careful about answering the call to return to Africa. Death is often in such a call. Thomas Joseph is on the sick list this week. Dud Thornton made a flying trip to Ramod last Saturday.

Two years ago in the columns of Tire Acz, the writer made appeals for a Negro dentist, now we have two, Dr. S. Howland Shelton of Nashville, Tennessee, and Everett Givens of Austin. Why do you continue to seek the back room and the unsanitary and discarded instruments that have been used on the white patrons, Mexicans, dagos and everybody, nay everything, else, in preference to the practitioners of your own race that passed a more rigid examination than his white brother? Then too his instruments are new and used only on Negroes. The Negro is his own "lim Crow." The world is watching us. Miss B. V. Cummings has built a pretty bungalow on Poquito and Peninsula avenues.

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS Negroes Asked to Contribute $250 to Make Up Deficit—Urban League Entertains Boys at Summer Fresh Air Camp—White Citizens Lend Financial Aid. One hundred and two little Negro boys have had two weeks each in the summer fresh air camp maintained at Verona, N. J. by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and thirty-five more will make up the last party to go down August 18. This year the boys have been given these two years and each year sees an increasing number applying for the privilege. The first year the camp was at Manorville, L. L. but the past two years it has been located at Verona, N. J. Approximately $3,000 has been spent by the league in the equipment and maintenance of the camp. This money has come from voluntary contributions, and the bulk of it was given by white friends. E. K. Jones, assistant director of the league, estimates that about $900 will be expended this summer for the Fresh Air Camp, and there is at present a deficit of $400. Of this amount a white organization has contributed $150, and the Urban League is appealing to the Negroes for the balance of $250. All expenses of the outing are paid in the league, including the railroad fares. The New York Tribune Fresh Air Fund has given its assistance by providing for the railroad fares. The boys who are taken on this trip derive an immense amount of good morally as well as physically. The expense of each boy for the two weeks is $5. About three boys are taken in each party. Parents whose incomes are limited and who are constantly struggling to make ends meet are relieved of a great burden when their boys are taken by the league and given freedom in the country. The outfits, to take care of theirselves, to take care of their food, and are permitted to enjoy themselves at the gym and health-improving gym can be enjoyed out-of-doors. Exposed men are in charge of the time and every precaution and safety around the boys. and that responses to the annual meeting will be prompt and lib- erate, that only $5 will give attention to some deserving Candidates for this purpose should be the National League on Individuals Among Negroes, and the office of the league at 40th street, New York, or the office of the Tuxedo New York Acr. 40th street, New York.

Lovinggood, of Austin, Tex.; J. S. Clark, president-clost of Southern University, La. Thursday evening, Prof. R. R. Wright of Savannah, Ga. showed how the Negro, during the last fifty years had stood the test* applied to him. Speaking to the text, "The Place of the Negro in American Life," Prof. Wright said: "The great work of teaching is lifting somebody else. We must get to the place where we can think of doing something for our race regardless of reward. We must magnify our race. We must co-operate." Friday evening H. T. Kealing of Quindaro, Kan., delivered an address on the meaning of education: "Education means the mastery of one's surroundings," said he, "the mastery of circumstances. It is useless to move away from a place because you fail there, in that you take your greatest drawback, namely, yourself, with you." Throughout the session the hospitality of Little Rock asserted itself. Lunches and parties, social gatherings among the ladies in the afternoons, a free car ride over the city to all delegates, free admission to a baseball game and a trip to Hot Springs kept the visitors alert during every moment when the association was not assembled.

Address: OCCULT Anglo American, New York City, United States of AFTER MONDAY'S PERFORMANCE Sam Lucas, dean of the colored theatrical profession, wishes to announce to his many friend and acquaintances that owing to his recent illness he has been compelled to quit the vaudeville stage and is now connected with I. Goldgraben. 439 Lenox avenue, as assistant manager. HISTORIC PILGRIMAGE ALTHOUGH the month of August is considered one of the most barren and uninteresting in the show business, this month promises to be an exception to the general rule, so far as relating to the colored theatrical profession. More than ordinary concern was attached to the announcement made a few weeks ago that Bert A. Williams, Aida Overton Walker, and S. H. Dudley were to head the mammoth bill at Manhattan, Casino, Monday evening, August 11, given under the auspices of The Frogs; but the theatregoers and performers have had additional cause to sit up and take notice, due to the piece of information given out a few days ago that the majority of participants in Monday evening's entertainment at Manhattan Casino contemplate going on a tour next week. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Richmond are the cities to be invaded by the greatest army of colored talent ever gotten together. C BERT A. WILLIAMS Bert A. Williams and S. H. Dudley, the two leading comedians of the race, will be the stars of this unique organization of Thespians, which will include other well known colored artists. No such tour has ever been undertaken by colored performers in the history of theatricals. Playing Monday evening at Manhattan Casino, New York, the company will visit Philadelphia the following evening and hold forth at the Academy of Music, where it is predicted that a record-breaking mixed audience will be on hand. The Academy of Music has a large seating capacity, but it is believed that with such a stellar attraction standing room will be a premium. On Wednesday evening the Lyric Theatre, Baltimore, will be the scene of action, and another record-breaking attendance is expected. The Lyric Theatre is one of the largest houses in Baltimore. As there will be no segregation of races in the seating arrangements the consensus of opinion is that hundreds of colored citizens who have not attended the local theatre in years to see a performance given by a colored company will take advantage of this unusual opportunity. For the first time the citizens of Richmond will have an opportunity to see Bert Williams and other prominent colored acts of which they have S. H. DUDLEY S. H. DUDLEY heard much but have never seen. As Richmond is not included on the theatrical map by the large colored shows those interested in theatricals in this well-known Virginia town never get a chance to see the leading performers of the race. Arrangements have been made for the company to play at the Hippodrome, Richmond, on Friday evening. It is expected that Norfolk, Newport News and other nearby towns will be well represented. The tour will end in a blaze of glory Friday evening at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C. As some managers of first class theatres at the capital city of the United States refuse to admit colored residents to any section of the house, and as others pursue a policy of "Jim Crow- ing" their colored patrons, there are thousands who refrain from going to the principal theatres of Washington, not caring to be humiliated. Few have seen Bert Williams since he has been playing at the first class theatres and the interest in his appearance at the Howard Theatre is such that already the house management is sanguine of breaking all records for attendance. The tour will be conducted under the auspices of The Frogs. A special orchestra will be carried, and negotiations are being made to secure the services of the Exclusive Society Orchestra, under the direction of James Reese Europe, for the entire tour. This is the same orchestra which is playing for the Four Hundred at Newport, R. I., and causing the society folk to dance the tango and turkey trot with unwonted enthusiasm. The company will leave New York Tuesday afternoon on a special train for Philadelphia and will number between forty and fifty persons. An effort will be made to provide the performers with every convenience during the tour. Indications are that the turnout Monday evening to the entertainment at Manhattan Casino will necessitate an extra force in the box office. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

Fletcher of Newark is conducting a motion picture house in West Ashbury Park, which is known as the Royal Theatre. Mildred Creed, who has been identified with the theatrical profession for the past six years, is reported to have become the bride of Race King, a well known Harlem hartender. Arthur Ray left this week for Chicago to join the Ten Dark Knights act which opens at the Majestic Theatre, Chicago, August 17. The act is said to be booked for forty weeks. W. J. Goodlette of the Goodlette-Anderson Amusement Company is manager of the Beaux Art Musical Three, consisting of Charles A. Hill, violinist; Grace Randolph, pianist, and W. J. Goodlette, cellist. Arthur Talbot, who was forced to leave the Smart Set Company last season because of ill health, writes from Cleveland, O., announcing that he is now out of danger and will be able to return to work when the season opens. In the current number of the A. M. E. Church Review appears an interesting and instructive article by Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman on The Negro in the Higher Altitudes of Music in This Country and Throughout the World." Scott Joplin, the well known composer of ragtime, has interested Benjamin Nibur, manager of the Lafayette Theatre, in the production of his ragtime opera, 'Greenmonisha'. The opera will be produced at the Lafayette in the fall. CRESCENT THEATRE If Leonce Lazo is wise she will get some reputable booking agent interested in her work and then make arrangements to go abroad. With the ragtime craze extant in England she would meet with marked success in Europe. Miss Lazo is the most promising "coon" song singer that has appeared in these parts for some time. She has quite a collection of dazzling gowns, appearing in a different costume with each song. Washburn & Pipe, have some good jokes and can dance. The female member is guilty of the offense so often committed by colored performers—wearing a costume not suited to the act. Appearing in a child's short dress, etc., although supposed to be a married woman, does not show much consistency. The Four Funny Dixons do a better act than when last seen in Harlem. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Although the bill at the Lafayette Theatre was long on pictures the first half of the week, it does not necessarily follow that the vaudeville bill was short. Muriel Ringgold, in her single turn, was a scream, and she was given an ovation that should have been gratifying to her. Few colored performers of the gentler sex take to eccentric character work, as their vanity invariably fills them with an ambition to look pretty on the stage. The success of Muriel Ringgold as comedienne ought to inspire other talented colored girls to adopt a similar line of work. As a dancer Miss Ringgold continues to shine. The Four Tango Dancers do some first class terpsichorean work, and are quite energetic. No, the two female dancers were not so scantily "clothed" because of the hot weather; what little they wore—mostly hosiery, slippers and a smile—was absolutely necessary. Rudolphy's & Darce have a novelty act that has class. Seigman & Warner, although billed as "a comedy piano act," failed to demonstrate where the comedy came in. 8TH REGIMENT BAND IN N. Y. The famous 8th regiment band of Chicago, Ill., will appear before a New York audience Monday night, August 25, at Manhattan Casino, 155th street and 8th avenue. The tour of the band is under the management of Maj. R. R. Jackson, and Sergeant W. E. Berry is principal musician and director. Fifty-four musicians make up the rooster of the band, and one of the features of the progress will be ad rill by music by the drill team of the band. The band will reach New York Monday, August 25, coming in at the 23rd street ferry. It will march to 8th avenue, up 8th to 34th street, through 34th to Broadway, up Broadway to 50th street. At 50th street the band will take the subwa yto 135th street and parade that territory. The concert program will begin at 8.30 o'clock, the drill at 10 o'clock, and the dance at 10.30 o'clock. Tickets will be 50 cents, boxes $5. Boxes on sale at 25 West 135th street. THE NEGRO'S EAR FOR MUSIC In the Sunday Tribune of August 3, Henry E. Krehbie gives the fifth chapter of his book, "Afro-American Folksong—A Study of Negro Music." This chapter is devoted to the knowledge of rudimentary harmony among the Africans and American slaves. This is a scientific treatise upon that musical aptitude among Negroes which is so often referred to as "a good ear for music." Scores of piano players and singers cannot read one note of music from another, yet after hearing a musical number sung or played, reproduce it "by ear" even to its last appogiatura and minor modulation. Mr. Krehbiel writes as follows: Mr. Krenbiel writes as follows: The analytical table in the last chapter showed several variations both the major and minor, and these were examined, for upon them, together with rhythmical and structural characteristics, rest the idioms which have been referred to as determining the right of the songs of the American Negroes to be called original. These idioms are the crude material which the slaves brought with them fro their African homes. This, at least, is the conviction of this writer, and the contention which he hopes to establish by a study of the intervallic and rhythmical peculiarities of the songs and by tracing them to their primitive habitat. Before then, for the sake of orderly argument, it may be necessary to argue into the musical attitude of the Africans who created the idioms. Unfortunately, the inquiry cannot be made as particular as might be desirable for want of specific evidence. The slaves in the Southern States were an amalgamation of peoples when the songs came into existence. Though they are spoken of as Negroes, there were many among them who were not racially Nigritians. The Slave Coast, from which the majority of them were brought to America, was the home only a fraction of the Mao's came to a interior of the continent. There were some Malays from Madagascar, some Moora from the north and northeast portions of the continent. Among the Negroes of Africa the diversities of tribe are so great that over a score of different languages are spoken by them, to say nothing of dialects. All was fish that came to the slaves' net. Among the Moora of America, were the professed the monarchs religion and read and wrote Arabic. It is not impossible that to their influence in this country, or at any rate to Moorish influence upon the tribes which furnished the larger quota of American slaves, is due one of the alternations fro m the diatonic scale which is indicated in the table—the presence of the characteristically Oriental interval called the augmented or superfluous second. Among the Moora who were of the hue of the so-called red men of America—l. e. copper colored. There were also iboes, who had tattooed yellow skins. It does not seem to be possible now to result all the names of the tributary tribe—Ganges, Agwaa, Popon, Cottonia, Fusana South, Awawana, Aridan, Fonda, Naga—who knows new how they differed one from another, what were the geographicals of language and music which may have affected the song which they helped to create in their second home? We must, perform, generalize when discussing the native capacity for music of the Africans. Sir Richard Francis Burton, in his book on West Africa, says of the music of the Kroemen that "it is monotonous to a degree yet they delight in it, and often after a long and fatiguing day's march will ask permission to 'make play and dance and sing till midnight, the bearing the ground they do it to the music of the Kroemen, and the music is opened with a song. The travails should never forget to carry a tom-tom or some similar instrument, which will shorten his journey by a fair quarter." In his "Lake Region of Central Africa" (page 321) Burton describes the native o feast Africa as "admirable timests and no mean tunisus." Wallaschek 140), citing Moodie (Ten Years in South Africa by Moodie, page 123), says: "Another still more striking example of Hottentots musical talent was related to Moodie by a German officer. When the latter happened to play that beautifully pathetic air of Glucka, The furo senza Euridice, on his violin, he was surprised to observe that he was blinded to by some Hottentots with the deepest attention and that manner affected to tear. In a day or two afterward he heard his favorite melody, with accompaniment, all over the country wherever his wandering led him. At first it seems astonishing that there should be Hottentots apparently endowed with so great a musical gift; it is especially surprising to hear of the air of the Dutch, who seem paniaments, since the German officer was certainly not able to play both on his violin at the same time." Wallaschek then continues: "This statement, however, will no longer appear to us incredible, if compared with similar examples in the accounts of some other travellers. Theophilus Hahn, who lived Africa for fifteen years, tells us that his father, the Dutch, knew some hymns before the tribe of the Nama: Hottentots to the accompaniment of a concertina. Some days afterward they would repeat the hymns with the Dutch words, which they could not understand. Hahn says: "They drawl the grave, songs of the hymns, such as Haupt voll Blut und trägt Gould, 'Gould' the German word. 'O du mein Lieber Augustin.' My Heart Is in the Highlands," or "Long, Long Ago." This initiative capacity of the Negroes frequently spoken of by travellers is amingly described by Albert Friedenthal in his book, "Musik, Tana und Dichtung bein den Kroelen Amerikaan." One day in October, 1838, he was writing a letter to his wife, Veranda at Lourenço Marques on the east coast of Africa. Myriads of gran-hoppers were devastating the country, and every Negro far and near was pounding on something to drive the pests away. The notes became unendurable, and Friedenthal grabbed a tin plate and speen five into the hands of the Negro. "You must make a noise, do it at least in this way!"—and he drummed out the rhythmical motive of the Nibelungs from Wagner's tetraglyph. He repeated the figure two or three times. "Already the Negroes in my garden imitated it; then, amused by it, those who saw me would be in joy, and soon one could hear the Nibelungs rhythm by the hour all over Delargia Bay." Friedenthal mentions a number of musicians who attained celebrity, all of them of either pure or mixed African descent. They are Jose White, Brindis de Salan, Albertini, Giguelro and Adelmo, violinist; Jimenez, pianist, and Coleridge-Taylor, composer. Of Adelme he says that though he was never heard outside of Brazil he has as an instrument and弦乐器, and composes, to judra by his surname (doNascalimento, probably the son of a former slave). Wallsachk formulates his conclusion touching African music after considering the testimony of travellers as follows: The general character of the African music, then, is the preference for rhythm over melody (when this is not the sole consideration); the union of song and dance; the simplicity, not to the complexity of subjective the great imitative talent connection with the music and the physical exertion and physical excitement from which it arises and to which it appears appropriate. In this characterization he might have included at least a rudimentary knowledge of or feeling for harmony. There is evidence of a harmonic sense in the American songs themselves, though the testimony of the original collectors does not make it clear that the shaves sang the characteristic proverb "The point something will have to be said presently; but the evidence of African harmony is summarised by Wallaschek himself in these words: Kolbe at the beginning o, the eighteenth century heard Hottentotts playing their gom-goms in harmon. "They also and the notes of the common chord down to the lower octave, each one beginning with the phrase whenever the former one had already come to the second or third tone, thus producing a harmonic effect (Peter Kolbe's "Kolbe," p. 528; Nuremburg, 1719; page 528). Burchell describes the harmonic singing of the Bachapin boys; Something one of them led the band and the rest joined in at different intervals and, guided only by the ear, attumed their voices in correct harmony. The elder boys, whose voices were of a lower pitch, sang the bass, while the younger produced in their turn the higher tones of the treble. (W. T. Burchell, "Travels in the interior of Southern Africa," 1822-24, vol. II, page 438). The Bechuana also sing in harmony. The melody of their songs is simple enough, consisting chiefly of ascending and descending by thirds, while the singers have a sufficient appreciation of harmony to sing in two parts. (Ibid.) Moodie tells us that he very often heard the Hottentot servant girls singing in two parts; they even sang European tunes which were quite new to them with the accompaniment in a second of their music, p. cit. (1727). He also says by Soyoua of the Negro girl of Sierra Leone (Herman Boyaux "Aus West Afrika," Leipisc, 1878, II, 174.) That the Dahomans, who are near neighbors of the people visited by Howditch also employ harmony I can testify from observations made in the Dahoman village at the World's Columbian Exhibition held in Chicago in 1893. There I listened repeatedly during several days to the singing of a Dahoman minstrel who was certainly the gentlest and least assertive person in the village, if not in the entire fair. All day long he sat beside his little hut, a spear thrust in the ground by his side, and sang little descending melodies in a faint high voice, which reminded me of Dr. George Schwainfurth's description in "Heart of Africa" of the minstrels of the Niam-Niams who, he said, are "as sparing of their voices as a worn-out prima donna," and whose character might be said to have the "character of a boy who praises his gentle singing he strummed, an unvarying accompaniment, primitive in construction (like the ancient Egyptian harps it hicked a pole to resist the tension of the strings) was yet considerably developed from an artistic point of view. It was about two and a half feet high and had eight strings accurately tuned according to the diatonic major system, but omitting the fourth one. With his right hand he bowed and again descended the passage of dotted octave and quavers in thirds, with his left hand, he syncopated ingeniously on the highest two strings.

There are two distinctly different kinds of this drum language, as is shown in an example by Mr. Schauenburg. He saw at Kujar a Negro beating the drum with the right hand and varying the tone by pressing his left on the skin, so as to imitate the sound of the Mandarin singing during the "morning amba" task); during the dance "all bae ssl" and all the participants understood it. (Edward Schauenburg, "Reisen in Central Afrika," etc. Lahr, 1859, I, 93). Sir A. C. Moloney observed this system of languages among the Yorubas, and says it is an imitation of the human voice by the drum. To understand it one has to know the accents of pronunciation in the vernacular and to be capable of recognizing the different and correlated sounds. "Notes on Yoruba and the Colony and Protectorine of Lagos" in The Proceeding of the Royal Geographical Society, New Series, XII, 596). The musical instruments used in Africa do not call for extended study or description here, since their structure has had nothing to do with influencing the forms of Afro-American folk song. The drum has received such extended attention only because it plays so predominate a role in the music of America as well as Africa. As the rhythmic-figure which is characteristic of Habanera (which dance Friedenthal music as it originally of African origin) dominates the one model of Spanish America, so that "snap" which I have found in 315 of the 537 melodies analyzed, in its degenerate form of "ragtime" now dominates the careless music of two great countries—the United States and England.

Commencing Saturday, August 9, the Lincoln Giants and the American Giants play a series of five games at Chicago, and it is expected that the question of supremacy will be determined.

This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington by the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the condition 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 deduced as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think I visited any place where things are not better now than 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 is commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he has an abundance of hope for him. Imperials Play a Tie The Point Judith Country Club ball team (white), composed of players from several colleges, lined up against the Imperials at Narragansett Pier, R. I., on Thursday last and made the hotel lads hustle to get a tie. In the seventh inning, with the score 6 to 5 in favor of the Country Club, excitement ran high, but in the eighth a double by Allen and a single by Forbes, sending two runs across the plate, gave the Imperials a lead. In the eighth the collegians made one tally, tieing the score. In the ninth both sides were retired in the one-two-three order. IMPERIALS. PT. JUDITIL, C. C. L. Giges, b. 211 m. MWon, c. 1100 L.

ABOUISHED demands the re-election of Grand Master Morris, and we must have him." In discussing other matters concerning the order, Mr. Brown said: "Our activities being called in other directions during this term, I have given very little attention to the business transacted by the Aged Home Committee. At the beginning of our term, dissention arose between the District Grand Most Noble Governor and certain female members o the committee. This dissention was about to disorganize the committee. We lent our service to try and straighten matters out. We regret to say that certain officers and members of the General Committee were working under cover to agitate the dissention. We are glad to say that the rank and file of the inmates of the Households of Ruth were loyal and worked for success of the fund, notwithstanding their head officials were at loggerheads with each other. Whatever failure we may picture hereafter may be attributed to an officer and his following whom we have put forth as a shining light i nour order. "According to the report to be rendered by the Ogden's Aged Home Committee, it will be apparent that a successful two years has just closed, but upon a close examination, success is not so vividly displayed. According to the report rendered by the Ogden's Aged Home Committee at the Twenty-eighth Session of the Grand Lodge, which convened in Troy, they reported a balance in bank and in hand of $880.77. In the two years that has just closed since the last District Grand Lodge Session, the District Grand Secretary has collected for the fund, as special assessments and donations, $649.40, and turned same over to the committee. If this amount had been banked outright, there would have been in the bank to the credit of the fund $1,530.17. The Aged Home Committee will report that they have in bank at the present time $1,444.14. "After all of the efforts put forth for two years, the donations of two Thanksgiving services and two receptions on Peter Ogden Day, still $86.03 less than if they had banked the amount received from the District Grand Secretary direct. "This is discouraging. We know this is not caused by any dishonesty on the part of the committee, but we do say, for the good of this project and for the benefit of all other projects affecting the interest of the brotherhood and sisterhood, that the officers of the Grand Lodge and Grand Household should be united, working together for one common cause. For the future success of this work, we believe a thorough reorganization of this committee should be affected, agreeable to the Grand Lodge and Grand Household of Ruth. Toward that end a joint proposition will be presented "This should be a great object lesson that would appear before our gaze; two years of labor sacrificed; the donations of the brothers and sisters at the Thanksgiving services expended; the efforts of two receptions gone into oblivion; and upon the work of Ogden's Aged Toe Committee and the General Committee is as an illumination in large blazing letters, failure. "It is important that we bear in mind and appropriately observe the half century, which this year marks since our emancipation. Only fifty years ago our fathers were held in cruel bondage in this country and were without any rights which other men were bound to respect. Every opportunity should now be grasped to show that we fully appreciate the boon of liberty and to show that our marvellous progress since that eventful day has fully justified our emancipation. "On behalf of our order, I take this occasion to thank the Governor, the Hon. William Sulzer, and the Legislature of the State of New York, for the magnificent appropriation of $25,000 for the purpose of carrying on an Exposition in the City of New York during the coming fall, to show forth the progress of our people since their liberation. "While the Grand United Order of Old Fellows, through its Grand Lodge officers, was not recognized on the commission appointed by the Governor, I hope, nevertheless, that all members of our order everywhere will heartily cooperate with the commissioners and help to make this Exposition a great success, so that the best achievements of our race may become better known to the world at large." COMMON SENSE ADDRESS (Continued from page 1.1) people" which is the safer and saner course. "The rights of the Negroes of this State to know what the commission is doing and how it doing it is the one all important fact, which at this hour the commission itself must appreciate. "The attention the public wants is no for which they will accept no proxy, and apologies are poor excuses for earnest effort. Nothing short of the 'Open Door Policy' will meet with the people' approval. Good citizens are writing Gov. Sulzer each day, and they will continue to write until something happens. The public and the taxpayers are opposed to the expenditure this fund to their own business, buying out our exhibits and to persons in the State of New York. Instead of spending the money among the Negroes of New York, who paid into the State Treasury their taxes, the commission is seeking to hold a World Exhibit, and propose to use the peoples' money in giving it. We hear they are to have a congress with sociologists from California, professors from Illinois and curios from Africa. This is wonderfully the most brazen distortion of justice I ever saw. We pay for the mare and feed her our own Illinois and French her. It is State of New York, whose money is thus being used by this Commission, should enjoin them with the law. The taxpayers should refuse to allow this fund to be spent to the political advantage of the one, and to the racial disadvantage of all the people. The whole course of the commission up to date savers over much of politics and particularly of the Tammany Hall type. And yet, these political gaggers drunken with their self-concerted importance, with their temporary and stollen power, the force of which is regurgitated among them as they exercise our right. Did I say dare? I hurt back that dare for an outraged public into their very teeth and demand of these political fakers to give us an exposition that represents the Negroes of the State of New York; and not those Formic and Illinois; and position for the colonies of the Empire State, and not curios from the continent of Africa. "We want the dreammakers, the milliners, the hairdressers and women handwork of every kind, to find place and space in the celebration. We want prizes in money offered the women for their effort—we want prizes in money offered the businessmen for their effort. We want prizes in money offered the farmers and the factoryman—the dairyman and the designer—the lawyers and the bricklayers—the doctors and the dentists—the schoolteachers and the student—the florist and the artist—the poet and the author—the printer and the publisher—the hotels and the bookstores—the dentists and manufacturers—the school writers and musicians; in fact to all classes of artisans—to all professional and business men. "We want prizes in money offered to secret organizations in this State—to the Elk and the Mason—the Oddfellow and the Pythian—our Moses and St. Lukees—our Song of North Carolina and the Southern League—we want every secret organization headed by the provisional regiment, in one grand line of march. "We want the educational and sociological congress made up from men and women in our own State. We want a religious congress composed of our own ministers; and we want to offer them a prize in money, provided they will not spend name to bring the Pope of Rome to the United States. We want prizes in money offered to our boys and girls in the Sunday Schools and in the public schools. Let the children make a glorious, patriotic gift, a great sacrifice, a sit and review the great parade. In fact, we want $20,000 of the appropriation spent among the people as a reward to their merit and industry. "Finally, ladies and gentlemen, we want nine men to know they cannot learn the wishes of 100,000 people unless they ask. We want open meetings for the public, and we want their wishes expressed in this celebration. They say $25,000 is so small an amount they are at their wits end to know how much of a man they will use one-half the seal to reach the people they do in concealing facts, the exposition by this time would have been an assured success. If they will but solve the problem how to separate themselves from their own selfish desires, and divorce about $20,000 of the appropriation—give it to the people in the shape of public spirited prizes; then in the language of the people in the state of getting Over Sal; and this is what should be If this affair were managed right, there would be going on now, with great excitement and joy, preparations of every kind. But instead of this wholesome interest, the commission is now seeking to lay the 'White Elephant' of their failure at the doors of the people—but I do not believe the people will should not be orden. The people will not fall, though, because the Negroes in this State will refuse to go in now to gather the Dives' crumbs which fall from the commissions' table. The public will not enter this race handicapped with three long months of experiment and failure on the part of a commission which seems not to have race loyalty enough to make the celebration a success; nor modesty enough to reclaim, and unless they can prove that our fifty years of development in education in education, religion and industry will be exhibited in an efficient and harmlous whole, taking the public into their confidence, co-operating with all the people.— "I, for one, will never ask them, I will never be their slave, I will taunt them with my latent breath, I will fgth them to the grave." GIVE LIE TO WHITE REALTY MEN'S CHARGES a few of them are property owners. As to their mode of living being objectionable, the utter ridiculousness of the charge makes refutation almost unnecessary. The white people who make this charge are entirely ignorant of the manner in which Negroes live. Could they but have access to the homes of representative Negroes in Harlem they would see how unfounded is the statement that their mode of living is different from that of the best class of the white-people. It is different from that of the ordinary white family in that the Negro as a rule has in his home such furnishings and fittings as are out of proportion to his income, and very much superior to the furnishings to be found in the homes of the average white family. A Few Wheezes Hormes Should be Visited Such homes as are maintained by Counselor E. A. Johnson, Dr. H. M. Griffin, Dr. Augustus Henderson, Bert A. Williams, James C. Thomas, the undertaker; P. A. Payton, the real estate agent; Collector Charles W. Anderson, Counselor Wilford H. Smith, John Macon, George Gould's right-hand 'man'; Dr. J. R. Hillery, Counselor John W. Smith, John M. Royall, real estate agent; the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, F. S. Grant, H. Adolph Howell, W. David Brown, J. Wesley Lane, undertakers; Chas. E. Toney and J. L.

Langston, and hundreds of others, are never entered by the white man or woman who would criticize the Negro's mode of living. And to the class of white people represented in the organization making charges which have no foundation only in their base imaginings these homes are as difficult of access as was the sanctum sanctorum of the ancient priests to any save the priests themselves. The men who have done most to make Harlem what it is, the Negro real estate agents, are a unit in declaring that such charges as are made by these white enemies of the race are baseless fabrics of their perverted imaginations. They say also that if there is the immorality and deprivacy among the Negroes of Harlem as is charged, then the white man who runs his saloon and dive in that neighborhood is responsible.

Ignorance Cause of Such Wild Talk. The Negro-physicians of Harlem say that if the white people spelling these charges were honest they would make an effort to examine into the true home life of the Negro and not take the evidence gathered from street corners and saloon brothels. John T. Clark, secretary of the housing bureau of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, has been working for five months in that section, coming into intimate contact with all classes of home life among the Negroes. He says that his contact with conditions show no such condition of "wholesale immorality" as is charged. There is always to be found a good and bad element. Unfortunately, say he, the questionable element is always in the foreground, and thus a superficial observer, giving maybe a couple hours to investigation, will find in this element's actions seeming facts to justify an opinion already formed. Mr. Clark says that hundreds of colored families with whom he has come into intimate contact are laboring under desperate odds to live decent lives in this section. "The greatest difficulties that our Bureau have had to meet are not the much-aligned colored agents, nor the immoral and unsanitary Negro tenant, but the 'money-mad' white owners and business men." Mr. Clark offers the medium of the Harlem Civic League, an organization already formed, as an agent for remedying conditions which exist both inside and outside the race. 49 East 129th St. ONLY COLORED IN BLOCK Next to church and high class elevator apartment, 3 and 4 bright, airy rooms, steam heat, all improvements.
