VOL XXVI No. 52 COMMISSION NOW FACES BIG DEFICIT Already the Budget Is $4,000 In Excess of the $25,000 Appropriation DISSATISFACTION EXISTS Some Commissioners Show Opposition to Methods Employed in the Expenditure of the Money. R. N.WOOD GETS A CONTRACT Chairman of Commission is Awarded Contract to Publish and Furnish Official Souvenia Programs. Rumors of the cropping out of additional strife in the New York Emancipation Celebration Commission, said to be primarily due to money matters, are flying thick and fast. The question has been raised as to whether the funds have been judiciously expended. It is reported that the controversy might find its way into the local courts. That the commission already finds itself in the embarrassing position of having arranged to spend $4,000 more than the appropriation calls for is furnishing food for gossip. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, who has heroically sought to show the public that he is the "master mind" of the commission, seems to be the principal object of attack. It was he who assumed the onerous duties of budget-maker. Now some of the commissioners want to know why a man of his presumed superior mentality and practical ideas should prove such a failure as a mathematician. Why he should make up a budget which to date is $4,000 in excess of the appropriation is too much for them to reason out. The commissioners are in a quandary, for they must have more money. They are scurrying about seeking financial aid. Several commissioners are complaining about the lack of enthusiasm shown for the celebration, likening the warmth manifested by the citizens to the greeting an ordinary citizen gets from the "master mind" of the commission. Wood in Role of Contract Getter. Robert N. Wood, chairman of the commission, is having a busy time explaining his financial connections in the controversy brought about over the printing of the official souvenir programs. The charge has been made that after negotiating with Hunter C. Haynes to furnish the souvenir program, Wood took the contract himself. The M. R. Julian Company is a party to the controversy, in that it enters into an agreement with Haynes to publish the program if the contract was let to him. The M. R. Julian Company wrote a letter to Wood, setting forth that Haynes is its representative and authorized to make a contract with the commission to compile and publish the souvenir program. After receiving the letter Wood is said to have secured the souvenir program contract for himself and then went to the M. R. Julian Company to make arrangements to have it printed. When Haynes informed the M. R. Julian Company that the chairman of the Emancipation Commission had been awarded the contract, the firm wrote the advertising man a letter which read in part: As we understand that this is a public commission and we failed to see how a chairman of the commission could legally put in a bid for himself, and we intend to investigate and get inside facts. Mr. Haynes later received a letter from the M. R. Julian Company, which read in part: Mr. R. N. Wood called at my office yesterday and informed me that he had been awarded the contract to publish the official souvenir program of the Emancipation Proclamation. Commission, as he informed me in a very frank manner that he felt that he was not capable of handling the proposition in a satisfactory way through lack of experience, and he proposed to me that I should enter into an arrangement with him to handle this publication and that he would split half and half with me. Now, Mr. Wood seems very anxious to have me take hold of it. I am willing to eliminate all personal feelings in this matter and cooperate with him if it is agreeable to you. I am asking your opinion about this, owing to the fact that I fully appreciate your efforts in this matter and want you to derive some benefits from the work you have done so far; and if you feel this is the proper thing for me to do let me know at once. The convenir program incident is one of the many things to which some of the commissioners are taking exceptions. CONSULAR SERVICE James W. Johnson has tendered his resignation to the State Department at Washington as United States Consul at Corinto, Nicaragua. Mr. Johnson had been on a leave of absence for nearly a year. He resigned from the service to look after business interests at his for- mer home in Jacksonville, Fla., and to engage in literary work. In the fall of 1912, Mr. Johnson was transferred to Azores, but the Democrats refused to confirm the Taft consular appointments. Azores is regarded as a more favorable port. Mr. Johnson entered the consular service in 1906. BAPTISTS TO SEND REPORT TO LAWMAKERS Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 24.—As the thirty-ninth annual session of the New England Baptist Convention, held at Washington, the daily papers refused to publish the convention's report, which has been put in pamphlet form.

Watkins and W. B. Reed. MISS WITTEN WINS AGAIN IN PRIZE ESSAY CONTEST Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 24.—Miss Lavelette Witten, the young daughter of the Rev. and Miss J. W. Witten, pastor of the Loring Street A. M. E. Church, for the third time captured a prize in an essay-writing contest in which her effort competed with forty others, all high school pupils. Prizes in this contest were offered by the mayor of the city, and Miss Witten won the fourth prize, for which $10 in gold was awarded. She was a member of the 1913 class of the Central High School, and will enter this fall the Westfield Normal School. MONTCLAIR SCHOOLS OPEN TO NON-RESIDENTS Served to the NEW YORK AGE MONTCLAIR, N. J., Sept. 24.—For the past two years the colored graduates of the Montclair State Normal School, residents of this city, have been permitted to do practice work in teaching in the public schools here. It was requested of the board that the same privilege be given to non-residents as far as opportunity permitted. This year this is being done and the new superintendent of public instruction declares that competency and efficiency shall be the standards in the selection of public school teachers. NEGROES WIN FIGHT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN W. VA. Special to The New York Age WHEELING, W. V., Sept. 23.—A complete victory was won by the colored people of the State, through their attorney, E. J. Graham, Jr., in the effort to compel the counties to furnish schools for the colored children, when the writ of mandamus was brought up for argument before Judge Chas. C. Newman, sitting in Part I of the circuit court. The mandamus was issued on application of Attorney Graham in behalf of the colored people of Hancock County. The case is the outgrowth of the failure of the Board of Education of Hancock County to furnish schooling for five minor children of Joshua Steel of Chester. Prosecuting Attorney Frank L. Bradley of Hancock County appeared before the court and stated in behalf of the School Board that they were willing to furnish places for all colored school children at once if the writ was withdrawn. Attorney Graham was willing to have the writ continued until the November term of court in order to test the officials' and this was agreed to by the prosecutor and court. This will mean that all colored children in the State will have to be provided with a place to attend school in the future. The prosecuting attorney of Hancock County blamed the trouble on the teachers of the county. KILLING OF CHAUFFEUR OCCASIONS ILL FEELING BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 24.—The fact that a coroner's jury exonerated from blame a white man, Charles G. Guth, who had been charged with murdering his colored chauffeur, George A. Murphy, has aroused the ire of the colored people of the city. The murder, occurred last Thursday at the Guth home. The latter was placed under arrest. He alleged that the chaufeur had made ugly remarks to his wife after the latter had expressed a desire for him to clean some brass. Against the statement of Guth was that of Mrs. Mary Moss, his colored laundress, who alleged that Guth had first quarreled with his Bohemian cook and then went after Murphy for having milk left at the same time as that for the household. Murphy is said to have replied that he saw no impropriety in doing this, as he was paying for his own milk. A little argument followed, after which Guth fired the shot that killed the chaufeur. Mrs. Moss alleges not only was the man shot and fatally hurt, but that the white man jumped on and kicked the prostrate body. Guth told the police that the colored man went after him with an ax. Following the murder the newspapers were filled with stories highly favorable to Guth, and the inquest Friday night only showed that a Republican State attorney and a Republican coroner were only willing to turn Guth loose. The matter has stirred the race here and many condemnatory references were made in local pulpits Sunday. None of the white ministers referred to the killine, however, but one did urge that another segregation law be speedily passed.

This step will be taken by the colored clerks in the employ of the United States railway mail service in view of a recent amendment to the constitution of the white organization, barring Negroes from membership, as well as the clamor of white clerks for segregation. Colored clerks resent the drawing of the color line, and they are showing that there is no desire on their part to affiliate with the white clerks by organizing local leagues among themselves in all large centers. There are some 1,800 Negroes in the United States railway mail service. Delegates to the Chattanooga convention will be chosen from the local leagues. The St. Louis local league is composed of the following officers: J. T. Bush, president; F. A. Carter, vicepresident; Elmo Williams, secretary; C. T.

The administrative affairs of the Colored Orphan Asylum, located at Riverdale-on-the-Hudson, are said to be in a complete state of demoralization, due to the inability of those in charge to maintain discipline in the absence of Supt. Frank W. Barber, who has been away on his annual vacation. Within the past two weeks many rumors of resignations and dismissals have been rife, and it is reported that quite a number of old faces will be missing after October 1. It is said that about a half dozen cottage mothers and nurses and the head carpenter will leave the employ of the home, many of whom are dissatisfied with the methods employed by Miss Mary T. Schurman, the white matron. A rumor is also in circulation that a short time ago, during the absence of Supt. Barber, the older boys of the home took part in a small-sized insurrection, showing their opposition to certain orders affecting them. It is charged that Charles Brooks, the gardener, carried a revolver to cow the rebellious boys into submission. Miss Schurman is accused of recently arousing the displeasure of the cottage mothers and other colored attaches of the institution by having a picture taken of the orphans eating watermelon.

PRICE FIVE CENTS ROYALLINDORSED FOR ALDERMAN Real Estate Man Put Up As Candidate in Twenty-First Assembly District Negroes of All Parties Combine and Form Negro Civic League to Promote Race's Political Welfare. Colored Men Plan to Make Votes a Determining Factor in State and Local Elections. 一 A new era in the political life of the Negro voter of New York was inaugurated Friday evening, September 19, when several hundred men and women gathered at Thomas Hall, 89 West 134th street, and organized the Negro Civic League, a political and civic organization along non-partisan lines. The membership is made up solely from a racial standpoint and without regard to party affiliation. John M. Royall, the real estate man, who originated the idea of the league, was elected as the first presideht. The meeting was called to order by Capt. Hamilton H. Blount, chairman of the committee of one hundred, and prayer was offered by the Rev. R. R. Mont. The Fisk University quartet, composed of E. R. Alexander, first tenor; L. J. Searcy, second tenor; L. P. O'Mara, first bass, and E. O. Porter, second bass, was present and sang during the evening. Its music was of a high order and the large audience enjoyed and appreciated the quartet's efforts. The object of the meeting, stated by the chairman, was not only for the formation of the league, but also for the naming of a strong, representative man as candidate for alderman of the 21st Assembly District, who would be endorsed by the league and submitted for ratification to the Negro voters of the district without regard to party affiliation. L. H. White presented for the consideration of the meeting a set of resolutions embodying the principles to be championed by the league and providing for a permanent organization. The resolutions are as follows: RESOLUTION ADOPTED We, the Negro voters and citizens of New York City, County and State, in mass meeting assembled at 89 W. 134th street, New York City, this Friday, September 19, 1913, at 8:30 p.m. believe that our political and civic welfare can best be advanced by the organization of a league along non-partisan lines with a membership made up solely from a racial standpoint and without regard to party affiliation. Said league to consider the interest and welfare of the Negro voter by organizing and solidifying said voters into a body without party designation. We believe a determining factor in the security of elective representation in State and city councils. To achieve this end, he is resolved— (1) That we organize ourselves into a body to be known as Negro Civic League, its membership to consist of voters and legal residents of New York County and State. (2) A president shall be elected to preside over this league. Said president shall have the authority usually vested in that office. He shall be empowered to appoint his regular executive board and to appoint temporary officers of the league to serve until permanent officers are elected. (3) Negro voters, regardless of party affiliation, to join with us in this movement to solidify the Negro vote and make it a potent and influencing factor in our civic and political welfare. (4) We pledge ourselves individually and as members of this league to lay aside party consideration in working for the development of this plan, and to give faithful and constant effort toward making the Negro vote of New York respected and considered by all parties. (5) That one of our main objects will be the placing of strong, representative Negro men in nomination for various elective offices in our municipal and state campaigns without regard to party lines. And the full strength of this league is pledged to the support of such candidates. Royall Praised by Speakers These resolutions were unanimously adopted and the meeting proceeded to a permanent organization. A motion to make the temporary officers permanent was voted down, and the name of John M. Royall was put in nomination by D. E. Tobias, who paid the nominee a splendid tribute for his courage and race pride. W. T. R. Richardson and Isaac G. Allen, in seconding the nomination, took opportunity to add their need of praise for Mr. Royall's good qualities. At this juncture an effort was made by S. Augustus Duncan and Charles Stinson to inject partisan politics into the league, making an attempt to put in nomination J. Frank Wheaton, the lawyer, and a prominent Democratic politician. As Duncan and Stinson were not members of the league at this time, their nomination had no standing before Mr. Royall was then unanimously elected as president of the Nebro Civic League. He was escorted to the chair by a committee of three, the Rev. R. R. Mong, J. P. Calloway and George W. Harris. On taking the chair, the new president made a ringing speech setting forth the league idea and asking the support and co-operation of the men and women of the race. He was received with hearty applause and sympathetic greeting. Lists for membership were opened and a large number joined. Referring to the aldermanic situation in the 21st Assembly District, it was decided that the league would recommend a candidate for that office, the name of said candidate to be submitted to the voters of the district by the league for their ratification, and with the understanding that the united support of the league would be given to that candidate. By motion a committee of seven was named as follows: Capt. H. H. Blount, the Rev. R. R. Mont, Isaac B. Allen, Robert L. Waring, D. E. Tobias, W. T. R. Richardson and T. Vincent. After retiring for consideration, the committee reported the names of Counselor Louis A. Leavelle and John M. Royall to be voted upon by the league. The Rev. P. C. James, Auto Scott and S. Augustus Duncan were appointed to act as judges, and George W. Harris and L. Allison Williams as tellers. Before the voting could start, however, Councillor Leavelle made a speech in which he attacked the integrity of the meeting, asserting that he would not be bound by it, but would make his aldermanic light regardless of its action. He was supported in this stand by Charles Stinson, the Democratic leader for the 21st district, who asserted it as his purpose to work for Leavelle's long as Leavelle stayed in the race. The claim was made by Leavelle that he had more than four hundred signatures to his petitions for the candidacy. He was offered the indorsement of the league, if he substantiated that statement, but he failed to do so. Capt. Blount took the chair and the name of Mr. Royall, by unanimous vote, was recommended to the voters of the 21st Assembly District for ratification as a candidate for Alderman. The league adjourned subject to the call of the president. WHITE PEOPLE PROTEST NEGRO SCHOOL LOCATION Spoken to THE NEW YORK AOR BALTMORE, Md., Sept. 24.—Rumors that Morgan College will locate near Sudbrook Park or the Greenspring Valley has stirred up the white residents.

E. MINOTT Prin. N.Y.C. "The most impressive commendation exercises that I have ever witnessed was that of a farmer boy at Taukegue last May. He stood upon the platform of the beautiful church surrounded by the common tools and the common animals and common foods without which we could not live. There were the stove, the bed, and the table, the plow, the spade and the hoe; the saw, the hammer, and the plane; the horse, the sheep, and the cattle; the evidences of a democratic education, he stood erect, a splendid specimen of young manhood, entirely unconscious of his unfortunate—the simple blue overalls of a farmer. He explained in dirrified clear English a scientific chart showing exactly how to obtain the greatest possible returns from an acre of soil and still leave that soil ready for other crops. It was all most interesting and impressive, but to me the climax of his splendid efforts came when quite unconsciously he lifted from the platter the deformed to be the farm-er best ally. His simple words were obsequent with meaning as he showed that out of that box of barnyard manure came prosperity and comforts and pleasures and education and reliance to the man who is democratic enough to recognize its value." CLEVELAND O Cleveland, O. C., Sept. 23.—Mrs. Clara Green Johnson and daughter, Phyllis, who have been spending the summer with her father, John P. Green, have returned to her home in Louisville, Ky.

The Norfolk Journal and Guide says: "Commenting on the fact that New York State is at the present time building a $100,000,000 barge canal from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes at Buffalo, the Norfolk Lodge Johnston, a local businessman, doing to enhance the material welfare of the Commonwealth? "Quite a significant question, that, and it is a question all the businessmen in the South doing nothing, absolutely nothing. What is the South doing to enhance the material wealth of all its people? The South is doing nothing, absolutely nothing. The South is statemanship—its government. Ever since the South partially recovered from the waste of the great war between the States, it has been working to restore the state's governance of racial antagonism. While her matched fertile lands, her unrivaled forests, her rich and untapped mining resources and her vast resources, she is waiting for development, her legislatures were consumed in amending constitutions and drafting legislation in an effort to undo by legal means the state's flood and carriage to consume at Appomattox. "When the real conscience of the South is awakened and the real meadow of this glorious country is being restored, the South will then arise and throw off the veil of hypothetism which now holds it in its grasp and there will be racial peace and an end to the violence that is now racial strife and industrial stagnation." Yes; the blight of the South is and has been its statesmanship—its government by politicians who have made the citizenship of the South, for their benefit, the narrowest and most criminal in the nation, and from participation in the benefits of which the Negro has been almost entirely excluded, thus creating and fostering an unnatural condition hurtful to all of the people and provocative of cumulative bad blood. The changeless Democratic Hag has taken possession of the South in the name of White Supremacy, but we are sure it cannot hold it permanently by any such falsehood. The decay in the character of its statesmanship has been progressive from Calhoun and Hayne to Tillman and Blease, from Robert Toombs and A. H. Stevens to Hoke Smith and S H. Hardwick, and the like, so that it has never reached lower depths of smallness and narrowness than at this time in the White House, the Cabinet and the Congress. We say it with regret, as one born in the South. We believe the redemption of the South has already begun. The Negro will be his own redemption. As an educated preacher, teacher, professional and business man, and land-owner and cultivator, after fifty years of freedom, he dug his foundation and has been it is building upon it with wise intelligence and industry. He is moving by the right step and will win in the long run. CONVERSION TOO LATE. After Mr. William M. Trotter of Linton was fully assured that President Lionson would not nominate him to the position of Recorder of Deeds, and he was fully assured that the Sen- Of this announcement the Richmond Times-Dispatch says: "Whether white flakes or Nerrows are responsible for this bit of inspiration, the results cannot but be happy if the spirit of this appeal is carried out. Once there was no need to inspire a love of cooking, housework and darning in the cooks and servants par excellence roasts and fowls, even now lingers still on the lips of a generation persistently hungry because it cannot get the old time "vittels." Today, sadly enough, we must teach the one-time teachers, and persuade to achievement the free who once as happy slaves were proud to show their skills, to be able to cook and serve with the best beaten biscuits, the best-batter cakes and such delicacies as pickles, canned fruit and wine, it is no small thing, as the appeal binds, to be able to prepare canned, wholesome, appetising food to support men, or to run a seam neatly and swiftly. Food and clothes are elements as sunshine. Any real human being should be proud of such accomplishments. This is the reason that we should be proud of such accomplishments. We also suggest that such efforts and such encouragements might do much to make the servant problem easier. Coupled with the show should be some preliminary instruction, and the promise of decent wages and dignified work as reward. When the South wakes up to the world, we will be able to cook and self-reportingly, there will be friendlier ties between the new minstrels and her belter. The Petersburg plan, as it is called, could well be adopted by the merchants and their wives and other employers of domestics of all of the Southern cities; if they don't do it, it should be the business of our own thinking men and women to do it. The movement could be called "Domestic Science Centers," in which day schools for the young and night schools for the old should be maintained, and in which, as the Times-Dispatch suggests, the South should be made to wake up to "the need of training the Negro to do his own kind of work skillfully and self-respectfully"—that is, the Negro already in domestic service employments and those who desire to adopt it as a calling or profession. There are plenty of such and would be more, with proper wages and treatment and preparation for the work to be done. The Domestic Science Centers should furnish the preparation and teach the dignity of the work, while those who need trained domestics should be the patrons and patronesses of the Centers, and would be, if the Charleston News and Courrier, the Atlanta Constitution and other responsible daily newspapers of the South would adopt and further the discussion in the spirit displayed by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It is the business of those engaged in domestic service to dignify their employment, magnify their work, as workers in other employments have done and are doing, with very little assistance from employers, who are more concerned about the profits of labor than about the conditions of the laborer, and who demand the best work for the least pay at which it can be got! There is every reason why those who work in domestic service should insist that they cease to be classed as servants, treated as servants and called servants, and that they should dignify their calling into a profession, requiring the like preparation after its kind as other wage occupations. Certainly domestic science, which necessarily includes that of gastronomics, is as closely related to political economy as the latter is to the science of civics. The French understand this, as the old Romans did, and proceed upon the wise theory that if they can conquer the stomach by good eating they are already masters of the related members of the human anatomy. But, of course, gastronomics is only one of the relators of domestic science which makes the perfect house worker a jewel without price, male or female, in the service of others, or as man and wife in their own service, the highest and best of service in the Christian home, the basis of all good citizenship. Then why should those employed in this highest service be classed as servants, treated as servants and called servants, who are either wage-earners to the man and wife of others or helpmates to themselves in their own homes as man and wife to themselves? If our white Southern contemporaries will adopt our point of view and advocate the development of Domestic Science Centers in all the large cities of the South, they will bring about a condition unique in the South of to-day, in which the home workers will not only be considered among the highest of professionals as wage-carners, but as the most perfect of home-makers in their own right as man and wife. We are sure the best white women in every Southern city could be interested in these Domestic Science Centers; and what they could be interested in, the best white men would as a matter of course be interested in. Let the Richmond Times-Dispatch lead in the good work, for its heart beats in the right place on the subject, and that is the main thing, for one light shining in a dark place easily illuminates all the darkness thereof. Of course, what we have said as being good for Southern cities has equal bearing when said of Northern and Western cities, where there are considerable numbers of colored people, many of them employed in domestic service, and where more would be if they had the proper education for the work. This is especially true here in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Chicago, where of late years vast numbers have settled. Domestic Science Centers would be of the greatest advantage to those who are already working as cooks in homes, hotels, restaurants, on steamboats and Pullman cars, by giving them the chance in the night sessions to learn all they should about their profession; those engaged in other branches could be equally benefited. In the day sessions young people fresh from grammar, high schools and colleges, who desired to learn all about housekeeping, having had no time or opportunity to do so in the long-years of school days, or who desired to take up special branches as a life employment, could do so. A graduate of a Domestic Science Center would always command better positions and wages than one who was untrained. Certainly young women trained in them as housekeepers should get better husbands and keep them longer than those not so trained. Of course, we do not ignore the fact that many schools in all sections of the country now have domestic science courses, but they are not distinctively Domestic Science Centers such as we suggest and such as are needed, as much in one section as another, solely for the Negro as his, but from which no deserving white person should be excluded on account of creed, race or color. We believe these centers would be popular in all our cities and receive an adequate support from those concerned. New York City should naturally lead in the establishment of the first Negro Domestic Science Center. Will a committee of ladies call a public meeting and ask some capable man to help them present the matter to the people? We hope so. ate would not confirm him for any such exposition, he broke out against the Wilson administration. grope in vain after a reasonable explanation. No sign has been given them, so that they can give no hope to the host. During the time previous that Mr. Wilson was insulting and humiliating the race, Mr. Trotter said not a word, but filled the mails between Boston and Washington with petitions urging President Wilson to appoint him to an office. After all, it seems that Mr. Trotter's deep interest in the race centers around Mr. Trotter being able to get some important Federal position. BLOOD LETTING AND OTHER HORRORS There has been since the beginning of the year 1913 an epidemic of crimes of violence in all parts of the country, with corresponding violence of the Celestial elements—the lightning, the thunder and the rain showing that we live in a time of great confusion in the affairs of our world—the world of today, and not that of yesterday. The wise men wherever they gather recognize the unusual manifestations and grope in vain after a reasonable explanation. No sign has been given them, so that they can give none to the hosts who look to them to light the way in the darkness. Mayor Gaynor dies on an ocean steamship, sitting in a chair, with a pleasant smile on his lips, instead of in his home on Long Island, and "Big Tim" Sullivan, the idol of New York's East Side, lies unrecognized for thirteen days in an unptown morgue, having wandered away from his home on the night of August 31 and been run over and mangled by a railroad train; while a priest confesses to having murdered a young woman and scattered her dismembered limbs far and wide, and Harry K. Thaw, the murderer of Stanford White, and the Gov. Sulzer impeachment occupy the front pages of the daily papers on days when Jack Johnson and his automobiles decide to keep quiet; Jacob the Jew murders Rachel in the Bowery and the Negro Cain dies in Sing Sing, while Secretary Bryan appears on Chautauqua vaudeville stages with "the usual American citizens and their families and children and the great President of Mexico tells President Wilson in so many words to please to the internal affairs of his own country and leave those of Mexico alone. Down in Mississippi, near Aberdeen, September 16, State Senator H. F. Broyed, a great physician and friend and supporter of Senator James K. Vardaman, and H. F. Hendricks, a rich timber man, fought a dual with an axe and gun and both were killed upon the first onalaught. They had a misunderstanding about a small lumber deal and settled it by killing each other. That is the way unstoried savages settle their disputes, and there is much of such in the alleged chivalry of the white South. Blood-letting and other horrors are all too common in the land. While they last each person should avoid danger zones, keep a clear head and muzzle his temper. SOWING AND REAPING IN GEORGIA. No one can read the Georgia dailies without being made aware of the fact that a perfect wave of crime among the white people of Georgia is sweeping that State. Nearly every day some horrible murder of white people by white people or some case of rape and murder is charged against white people. Surely Georgia is reaping what she has been sowing for years, under the leadership of Hoke Smith, Joe Brown and others of that type. JEWS IN WAR ON RIDICULE Perhaps no work of a dramatist ever did a whole people more serious and lasting damage than Shakespeare's "Shylock," which for centuries in Europe fixed in popular opinion the Jewish character as uncouth, greedy and soulless, demanding always his "pound of flesh" for the forfeited debt; nor has the influence of the drama been destroyed as yet. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did much to fix the character of the Southern slave master and slave driver class in the word picture of the infamous "Legree." Thomas' Dixon's effort to do the same thing for the Negro mulatto type in "The Leopard's Spots" failed, because the public refused to accept seriously the picture of himself Dixon had drawn; as the son of his father he intended to be taken as the mulatto son of his mother—as the character of himself and not of his mulatto double. And, too, the book was not only false in the characterizations but suggestively immoral, and maliciously purposed to create race strifes wherever it was presented on the stage; so it died a tragic death. It is a remarkable thing that in our republic, supposedly, the most democratic on earth, the tendency to single out some race type and hold it up to scorn and ridicule until it had done its deadly work, or failed to do it, has been a national weakness of hoary-headed but unvenerable standing. Every race type it has singled out for jest and gibe and ridicule has suffered more or less in the public estimation. At the present time the Negro and the Jew are suffering, and have suffered, from the national tendency to ridicule some of its race types. A news dispatch relates the following: Chicago, Sept. 17.—Prominent Jews to-day organized the Anti-Defamation League of America, whose object will be to stop by appeals to reason and conscience, and if necessary by appeals to law, the defamation of the The new organization will be conducted under the auspices of the Order of B'Nas B'Rith, a philanthropic organization will be established in every large city in the country. The objects of the league are set forth in a statement issued by Adolf Kraus of Chicago, President of the Order of JEWEL. JEWEL will be dealt with by enlisting the co-operation of the producers and managers of the theatres. New papers and magazine defamation will be met by protest to editors. Defamation in text books will be eliminated them from the course of study. It is highly discreditable to the nation that the Jews should have to organize for any such purpose, but since the necessity exists and long has done so, it is creditable to them that they have organized to stop it. The Negro also needs such an organization. Defamation of his character has long been the stock in trade of authors, journalists and the rabble in the street. Many of our own stage people have lent themselves to the law business of ridiculing their race, as Irish stage people used to do if of theirs twenty and thirty years ago. It is high time we should have none or less of it by them for the amusement of white or colored houses. And there is too much buffoonery on and off the stage, in public and private, by a certain sort of Negro for the good name and reputation of the race, and it should be discouraged in all possible ways. THE Age will give the Jewish Anti- Defamation League of America all the assistance at its command. Contribution to Douglass Home Fund. The Age is in receipt of $1 from Thomas A. Madison of Albany, N. Y. who forwarded same as a contribution to the Douglass Home Fund. The next time former District Attorney Jerome of New York finds him- self in an automobile, waiting outside a court house in Canada, he will not pass the time playing penny ante poker. He got himself locked in a jail cell once occupied by Harry K. Thaw, whom he was trying to entrap, for so and beside the unpleasant notor- ity, had a lot of trouble he did not want. --- Business initiative and development all along the line should be the watchword of the race from now on, until the meeting of the Business League in Oklahoma next year. Why should not the two saloons at the entrance of the subway at 185th street and Lenox avenue, one on the right and one on the left side of the street, be removed? In each case they block the entrance to the subway by drawing and holding leafers on the corners who annoy decent persons by their preschool and proxyge race riots when the police interfere with them. The two saloons should be removed. The bad political conditions that confront the colored people everywhere have got most of our wise men of the pen, the paste pot and scissors up in the air. "In the name of heaven, fellow race men," exclaims the veteran of the Hopkinsville Saturday News "can't you see the handwriting on the wall? Can't you see that the sword of Damocles hangs over our head?" Cheer, up Phil—there are brighter days coming! The Supreme Court of Georgia has issued a perpetual injunction against the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Leedesternity, headed by Mr. J. C. Asbury, on the ground that the order is "unjustifiably similar" and "a colorable imitation" of the name of the Grand United Order of dd Fellows, and that it cannot institute lodges in Georgia. The Supreme Court of Georgia, by that ruling, is "substantially similar" and "a colorable imitation" of the Supreme Court of the United States. The troubles of the Wilson administration mark time to the striking of the clock. For the first time in the history of the country, the Federal treasury will deposit with favored banks $10,000,000 to help the farmers "move the crops." The banks of the country have always done it and can do it, but the Administration is afraid they may not do it, and thus produce a famine in the land, because Congress is warring on the banks in threatened financial legislation. The manufacturers are equally up in the air. The Christian Recorder has an editor and a business manager. The editor complains bitterly that the business manager conducts a literary department of his own in the paper, although the editor has protested against it to the Board of Publication and the Bishops' Council. Most of our church newspapers have too much head. "One of our most honored Bishops was a man with one leg only," says the editor. Does he mean by that the Christian Recorder would be better off if it had but one head? Trotter and Waldron Criticized To the Fetter of the Army To the Editor: The Agenda The Age that you editorial, criticizing the inconsistencies of Editor Trotter, has brought him out into the open, in the fight against injustice in Washington. I have had a similar difficulty with him, but without the success you have had. I have been in the Independent Political League, an organization of but few members, most of whom were on the Democratic campaign payroll, or in the administration; but he has at leastfully refused to do this. This friend and office-seeker, J. Milton Waldon, of Washington, D. C., has long been a leader for "compromising" upon the race problem; yet as soon as Mr. Wilson was inaugurated by Dr. Waldon, delivered a speech to the nation, he was applauded for "jim Crowists," lynchers and oppressors in various other ways were the Negro best friend. He even put the blame for the injustice on other offenders upon the Negro. One hundred copies were sent to southern Senators to facilitate Dr. Waldon's confirmation should Mr. Wilson be elected. I understand the cheap, political trick however. Mr. Trotter treats of this speech, but he even refused to comment on it, yet he poses within and without the champion against all enemies. We dismissed Dr. Waldron from the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in Washington, and the national, and the international, sustained attacks. He tried in many unscrupulous ways to remain in, but without success. Mr. Trotter, through Dr. Waldron's humble press agent, Mr. F. H. M. Murray, continues his weekly misrepresentations of the work of the N. A. A. C. P. I, therefore, ask the publication of this letter to these three men might not interfere with the public. More Praise for The Age. Some Words, 2, 1913. To the Editor: THE AGE. South Killeen, OH, 2, 1913. The Eaton THE AGE. Enclosed you will find herewith check for $1.50, for which you will please enter my name on your sub- scription list for one year. I chance to read a copy of your passport a few times. I will accept a few pass- ports pressed with it—so much so that I decided to send you my subscription. I have read a good many papers published by our people, and in the interest of our people, but I have not read them, and I have cut practical information as to the doings of our people far and near, and that gave the existing state of affairs concerning us as a race without any whitewash at all. You may doubt on me as a continued subscriber, as the paper published by you should be supported by every colored man and woman in the United States. Wishing you much success in your work, I am. Very respectfully, JOHN H. LOGAN. South Richmond, Va., Aug. 2, 1913. Col. Young Raps Democracy. The Election of the Year. I am a constant reader of The Age, and have been for years, though not a subscriber. I prefer to pay the sales agent here, as it helps him to get others to take the paper by telling them that I take it from him every week. I desire to thank you for the many complimentary allusions to me in your paper, and especially for your editorial comment on me in your last issue. I also request your government service, after thirty-six years of experience as deputy collector of Internal Revenue and my record as a veteran of the Spanish-American War. I war refused a commission by the Democratic collector, as stated to me by him, upon the sole reason of my color and the intense race feelings of the Democratic party against Negroes holding public office. I have no affairs in this country, which has been known as the "land of the free and the home of the brave." You and I have known all along and the only party in the government has been successful every time and color, all of his rights make the constitution is the grand prize of the presidential party, and that, too, in defense of the mandates of the Democratic party. The commission of the Republican party will not be fulfilled until every man, regardless of his color or race, has the right amount of ballot counted as cost, and to receive his regular share in the distribution of public offers. The and treatment which our race has received from the Wilson Administration should cause every colored man in the States where they can cast their ballots to rally for the Democratic Party, which gave them their freedom. The Democratic Administration in and out of Congress will go to its fullest length in passing laws and performing acts which will tend to discourage and humiliate our race. In doing so by giving them the opportunity to delish ideals. The Democratic press of this State expressed great joy in my removal, and I do not blame them for it; Nor I have never lost an opportunity to waken them a lick for the very thing complained of above whenever and the time that I should be in an index of what I shall do for them in the future; that is to say, I will hit them wherever I can do with truth and justice. Your paper has always stood for the rights of our people, and I believe that you will battle in the future as you have in the past. You're very truly, JAMES THE BUNG, Raleigh, N. C. MEMPHIS TENN.

Special to the New York Am. Nashville, Tenn. Sept. 23—Hun- days of Baptist from every section of the United States attended the thirty-third annual session of the National Baptist Convention, which was held here last week. Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Kansas, was re-elected president for the twentieth consecutive time. The principal address of the session was made by Dr. Booker T. Washington. In his address Saturday evening he spoke out more plainly than ever in the matter of the accommodations given Negro people of the South on the various railroad lines of this section. He spoke in Ryman Auditorium and larger assesm of the audience the fairly blazed with enthusiasm. After remarking at some length upon the progress of the Negro people during the past fifty years, he proceeded to say: "For example, in a polite, kindly way we should constantly remind the officers in the cities where we live that our people, except in a few cases, are not treated with justice in the matter of lighting the streets or in the convenience of sewage and drainage. We should the white shirt, we should if he exacerbates to live a clean, orderly life that we should have better facilities for the education of our children. "In one county of the South each white child had spent upon him for his education last year about $21, while each Negro child in that same county had spent upon him for his education about 98 cents. There is no white man in the South who will not acknowledge that such a difference is unjust. Crowded and Filthy Railroad Care. "We should, too, with equal frankness and equal politeness, remind those in charge of the railroads of the South that in few cases do our people receive justice or are they treated with common humanity when they travel upon the railroads. We should let the officers of our men and women are crowded into fifty cars, poorly ventilated, not large enough, and in many cases one toilet room made to serve both men and women, that we seldom have proper facilities for getting food when traveling on the railroads. We should remind those in charge of the railroads that if they take the same money from the white man from the white man take from the white people that they should have equal treatment on the railroads. If a black man and a white man subscribe for a newspaper or buy a yard of cloth from a white man the newspaper and the yard of cloth which the Negro receives costs just as much as the newspaper or the yard of cloth sold to a white man the newspaper in which he receives there. There should be no difference so far as accommodations are concerned on the railroads. "We should make our appeal to the railroad authorities on the ground of common humanity, on the ground of common justice, and then we should try to convince the people who own and operate the railroad, and to convince the point of view it will pay to treat the Negro with more justice; that there are 9,000,000 black people in the South, a population larger than that of Canada, I have said, and if these black people treated in the South he feel he is being hated the railroads it would pay from a commercial point of view because of the increased traffic which 9,000,000 Negroes would furnish to the railroads. At some time in the not far off future, in opinion a great big, broad level-headed, informed and united group appears to appear in the South who will see the commercial value of treating 9,000,000 of people with absolute and merging justice in reference to railroad travel, and he will be more than rejoiced for his liberality through the increased patronage that his railroad will enjoy. "After the railroads have done their part, let us as a race see to it that we do our part in helping keep the railroads coaches and deputies clean and comfortable. "Say these things directly but in a position and kindly way to the railroad of federal government, they will listen to our appeals and bring about a changed and improved condition. "We must not content ourselves, however, with occupying a mere negative, complaining attitude. No race of mere fault-finders and whinners ever makes much progress. Fundamentally, we must depend upon large constructive work for progress our race is to make. The leaders in our community should whenever there is the slightest opportunity for our people, they put themselves in harmony with every great constructive movement that has to do with the progress of the South. Whenever there is a clean up movement or health event, whenever there is a county fair, state fair or local fair our people should be involved in the community. We should become willing and ready taxpayers. We should become a part of every law and order movement in the community. The black leaders in our churches should join hands with the white leaders in all that concerns the people and the happiness of all our people here in this great country, and if we can this attitude one toward other we will be able to show how it is possible for two races different in color, separate in social affairs, to live together on the same soil in peaceful friendship." PETERSBURG. VA Detroit, Va., Sept. 23.—R.E. Harris, the well-known young real estate agent, is in good appointment last Wednesday to manager of the First National Fire Insurance Company of the United States. Mr. Harris' friends congratulate him on being the first and only insurance manager in the city. The Rev. Archer Roberson, the sur- vey W.P.

Mary Church Tugello and her daughters, Mary and Aryla have been upon Oberlin, Ohio, to enter the freshman class of Oberlin College and her sister will enter the Academy and Conservatory of Music. Mrs. Tugello was graduated from Oberlin in 1864. Judge Turrell will remain here to continue his duties as a justice of the Court. The public schools of the District of Columbia assumed sessions Monday. There are nearly 13,000 in the colored schools, 1,458 of whom are enrolled in the M Street High, Armstrong Manual, Phleps and Normal Schools.

The Century Presbyterian Church, which President Wilson attends, has been sold to the congregation of Mount Carmel Church in Greenwood, S. C. The nomination of Dr. George W. Buckner of Evansville, Ind., as minister to Liberia has been confirmed. W. Bruce Evans, who has made a number of efforts to have the Board of Education grant a hearing regarding his appointment as principalship of the Ammanong annual training School, has also been denied a hearing by the Congressional Committee on the District of Columbia. HOT SPRINGS, VA Hot Springs, Va., Sept. 23—Miss Murphy of Washington, D. C., entertained a few friend Tuesday evening, September 16 at dinner. The table and dining room were decorated with ferns and carnations. Among those present were R. N. Smith, N. F. Berry, Mr. McGruder, Mr. Govern, Mr. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Tweedy, Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Davis, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Callahan, Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Wood, Mrs. Robert Harris, Miss Green and Miss Armstrong. Miss Murphy wore tan and brown silk with gold trimming; Miss Harris wore Copenhagen blue crepe meteor and diamonds; Mrs. G. R. and back creme with turquoise; Mrs. Davis, Alice blue creme with pearls; Mrs. Callahan, blue creme meteor and chiffon with diamonds. Miss Green, green messala with opals. Mrs. Armstrong, white crepe de chine with sapphires. Among the late arrivals at Hot Springs are C. Ross of New York, Wilbur Fagan of Washington, D. C.; L. Carson (better known as "Budie") Gadson of Jacksonville, Fla.; H. E. Seaton of the A. P. C. C. of New York. Arthur Stevens, after a short stay at his home in Richmond, Va., has returned for the season. Robert Childs, James Toles, Luther Brock and Whittier Stevens came over from White Sulphur Sunday. Colored bellmen have charge of the new Green Brier at White Sulphur under the management of Fred Sterry, who has stuck to colored help whenever it was possible. The rumor that all colored chambermaids would be discharged at the Homehead has proven a bugaboo, as they are still here, and as far as the manager is concerned they are here to stay. Everett Fairfax, late of Chicago, is visiting his sister, Mrs. Robb, Harris. R. K. Smith and his secretary are busy these days answering requests for jobs. He has booked his full number of men for the season. More are writing as a result of the Jim Crowing of colored waiters at other places. Some of these poor fortunates, no doubt, were Wilson supporters at the last election, but have changed their minds for the next one—no more Wilson.

Telephone Marlboro 1721 LOADSTONES Boston, March —"Lucky" 'Mrs. Lay Spindling, a Chicago soccer leader, almost missed today the steamship that was to take her to Europe. Considering the nerve rack- ing experience she had with a bur- gar in her home just before she came to sell for the other side, she was excellent health and spirits. Her beautiful jewels, including her dis- mond ear rings and handsome pearl necklace were seized by the man, as she slept in her bed, and he attempted to choke her to death when she awoke and discovered him in her room. She attributes the saving of her life to the stones which she almost invariably wears in her chamomile bag suspended by a silken cord about her neck. It is believed that the fame of her jewelry, envied by all of the women in her social set, became known in the "underworld," and a desperate raid was made upon her home by a gang of "yekmen" as villainous as any band of pirates that ever sailed The "Lady" Mrs. Gustling on she appeared at a New York amusement hall! When seen in the elegant dining room of Hotel Vodennade, she said: "I just arrived from my home in Chicago there, and has a dooble but very chilling atmosphere. I had to surprise a childhood friend on my way to call for Europe. Well, I am not the kind of a woman to let a burglary my shins, so came just as if someone had taken my shins, so arrived here in the hotel and enquired for my friend. I found she had left yesterday to visit her aunt in Atlanta. So I just stopped for a bite to eat and am going to take a cab to the hotel. Asked if she would not tell how her landstones had saved her life and her jewelry, she replied: "I fear there is not enough time, as long as you have heard enough of it, you know something about it. I may as well tell you will cut it straight. In the first place, if I had not foolishly taken my landstones off the night of the burglary, because I was going to wear howse shoes, I had to think of the thieves. I have had a wonderful luck.

GRANT. Prop. SAID TO SAVE AND LU every way, that my acquaintances call me the "Lucky" Mrs. Spaubling, and my intimate friends, "Lucky Lucy." Of course many of them know my neck is due entirely to my two loads to need the fact I have worn load stones so long now that I feel that they are a part of me, almost as much a part of me as my hair or teeth." The beautiful woman smiled as she spoke and showed teeth that seemed to reveal the facts in her handsome, lone earl necklace. "Previous to Lent," she continued, "my round of social duties was sexteting that I welcomed a occasion in what had become so it seemed, a real occasion, a really effective rest. I determined to take a run over to Europe. Because I wanted to surprise a childhood chum who was stopping here in the Vendone, I concluded I would visit him in the morning. I was to take the train for the "Hut," I accepted an invitation to dine with several chums of my college days. We had a most delightful time, and I returned home quite early because my trip was an inn sure sure was in my mind. I know how long I slept. Suddenly I awoke with a start and realized someone was prowling around the room I switched on the electric light at the head of my bed just as a man in a suit came in. I had made, jumped from my dressing table and seized me by the throat. "He was a horrible looking man, and had my diamond car rings and pearl necklace in his other hand which he closed at once. I tried to help him, but he was so strong that I could acacely breathe. I was not able even to whisper. Struggling to free myself from his grasp, I rolled partly from the bed, my right hand striking the bed, and something between my hand and the pillow. Anguish. I was able to realize that it was the top of the little bag in which I keep my two precious loadstones. I clutched at the bag convulvially only to be pulled away from it in the middle, course the burglar did not know what to do, but thought I was simply making an effort to get away from him. "Finally I managed to get my hand over that part of the bag in which the stones rested. As I did so I felt the man shoulder. He let go of me and I slipped. He took his effort to climb out, he dropped the diamond ear rings and pearl necklace inside the room and disappeared. I rushed to the window to call for help, and saw the gems glittering on the floor in the rays of the electric light. Looking out I saw him and the man running down the avenue. He left a bed and sat at the foot of my bed and an unhappy looking chisel on the window sill. "Then I just hung those loadstones still aroud my neck and shall never take tiz them off again. I value them more is than all my other jewelry, for I cor-her him than all my other jewels. I look all stones have safeguarded me almost since I first became interested in them and as a result of a lecture I heard, when in college by Dr. Aaron Finley Ronde, say the noted African traveler, healer love and scientist.

VE GEMS UCKY SOCIETY best results, to have two loadatones, a positive and a negative; and that they would learn all the good toward others over all the bad toward them that time I was a poor girl, trying to work my way through college. I am not ashamed to say now that I was being helped by my dear old Sister marmahm who told me as if I were her own daughter. "Well, after hearing that lecture, I made up my mind to have a pair of loudstones; but how to get them was lutea a question of skimming, to manage to save enough money to buy a pair of loudstones. It was marvelous how soon good fortune came my way. In a very short time I received a letter from a distant relative, long dead, to more than pay the remainder of my college expenses. Not long after I was graduated with honors. Soon after my graduation was married. My husband supported my of my guidance, in rather well known "Of course my husband was wealthy when I married him, but, thanks to my loadstones, he has doubled his fortune several times. Of course I do not say this to brag, but just to tell what a good pair of loadstones will do. I have had a lot of bad luck since I began to wear loadstones, and that was awful. But it was all due to to my own fault and carelessness. I lost my precious loadstones when in bathing at Narraranskott. Pier last Summer. Before I went to the knack in the lake card, by which I suspended little bag in which the loadstones were kept, was so worn that there was danger that I would lose it from my neck. But I thought I would be careful and have a new cord on the morrow. I am a good swimmer, and enjoy being in the water very much. I was a little buck, and then discovered the cord has broken and I had lost my loadstones. "I was almost frantic with grief and fear. I did not know what to do after making a painstaking but unsuccessful search. A friend who knew my trouble told me to set to work immediately and tell me the new pair, and I did so at once. I had not had the pair long before I was sure they were much more powerful for producing good and warding off evil than the ones I had set such store by. As a proof of their power see what I did for me when I was a child. I am sure if I had worn them to bed that night the men would never have been able to enter the house. Something would have happened to scare them away no matter how much they had planned to take my jewel." is the difference in loadstones? "The lucky" Mrs Spaulding was asked "There is a vast difference," who replied, "Some people think loadstones ought to be heavily magnitized; but scientists say that theory is wrong. If the loadstones are too highly magnified, they take away all the iron from the blood, thus taking the magnetism from the system and destroying the red corpuscles of the blood. That leaves one in the same condition as if they had been overcome by illuminating gas.

With a pair of loadstones such as I now have I can make almost anyone do what I desire." Suddenly Mrs. Spaulding looked at the man behind studded watch and explained: "Now see what you've done, or rather made me do! It is within five minutes of the time the ship is to sail, and I have sat here talking instead of getting to the vessel. What should I do?" "Why not try your loadstones and make the ship wait for you? she was asked. "That's a good idea," she replied. "And it is also a good idea to call a cab and see if I am successful in point to Europe on this superson. If that something awful would have happened to me if I had got on board." A cab was called and the reporter accompanied the woman to the dock. There it was found that a sufficient delay had been caused in coaling so that it would take time to go on board in a leisurely manner. "I know my loadstones would do the trick," she said when she was congratulated on being in time for the trip abroad on that particular ocean liner. Dr. Aaron Finley Bond, African Traveler, Nexus and Scientist. Asked by the reporter if he might take the lucky stones for a very few minutes in order that he might get a raise of salary, the fortunate possessor of the powerful loadstones showed unimitable signs of alarm. "Don't you know that it spoils loadstone to let any one else touch it that the owner only may come in contact with it? I wouldn't let even my best and most intimate friend touch my loadstones. The loadstone's peculiar power is for the individual. The way to get and keep that peculiar power is to take the power of loadstone and no other person (such them). Because they have done so much for me, I am always glad to tell others about loadstones; but that is all I can do for them. If they wish to have the same success, prosperity, health and good fortune, then they should get a pair of loadstones for themselves. When you consider what a pair of loadstones can afford to get a pair, in fact they cannot afford not to obtain such wonder workers." Then came the order for those who were not going to sail to go ashore and the bucky woman who had had an ocean liner wait for her while she told about her loadstones took a place by the rail of the vessel from which she waited her handkerchief in the sturdy craft headed for the ocean. write to the publishers of the great for a short time only to all New York City EMPHATIC DENIAL TO THE AGE THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

ON Saturday, September 20, the following cablegram was received at THE AGE office from Miss Maxine Elliott, regarded by many as the world's most beautiful actress: London. September 20. Report that I objected to colored people pure fabrication, ridiculous and unkind. (Signed) MAXINE ELLIOTT. Miss Elliott, who is playing the principal role in "Joseph and His Brethren" at the Majestic Theatre, London, sent the cablegram immediately after reading a copy of THE AGE of September 11, which told of an article published in a Hearst paper in which the beautiful actress was quoted as having said: "No 'nigger' shall ever touch me." This alleged remark is supposed to have been made by Miss Elliott in registering a protest against the employment of black carriers in the production. In giving publicity to the declaration alleged to have been made by Miss Elliott doubt was expressed at the time of the truthfulness of the charge in view of the source whence it came. With respect to ridiculing and making A little of the colored citizens the Hearst papers seem to believe in the efficacy of slander and misrepresentation. These papers shriek and cry out in anguish daily about the rank injustice to which the "common people" are being subjected. In big, bold type justice and fair play are demanded for the oppressed—all but the colored citizens. THE AGE has neither the inclination nor the ability to engage in a mud-slinging contest with the Hearst papers. We do not hesitate to acknowledge the superiority of these publications in this direction. Furthermore, we lack the mechanical equipment to give as forceful expression to our thoughts. Miss Elliott has voluntarily cabled an emphatic denial that she used the language attributed to her. The actress brands the report as "pure fabrication, ridiculous and unkind." As to the motive of the London correspondent who sent this false news article there is but one deduction to be formed—that it was circulated to discredit and humiliate our colored citizens. Now and then Editor Brisbane writes an editorial in the New York Journal on the Negro question which encourages and inspires us, but the lustro of his charitable and highly appreciated efforts are bedimmed by the sensational and untruthful news articles published from time to time in the various Hearst papers throughout the country. To attack a struggling people by assassinating truth is most cowardly and sinful. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" is one of the Ten Commandments with which we all are familiar. If the news editors of the Hearst papers will bear this biblical admonition well in mind the colored American will suffer less from the calumnious assaults made by the American press. Of course, the Hearst papers are not the only guilty ones. It is always more agreeable to associate a beautiful woman with beautiful thoughts, as it affords you an opportunity to form beautiful opinions of her. By Miss Elliott sending a cablegram to Tjikr Elliott setting herself right she has acted in keeping with her physical charms, and has the constant respect and admiration of thousands.

Windom was first seen with the McCabe & Young Minstrels about 1888. He attracted such general attention that he was later engaged by Croscrose, whose minstrel troupe was a permanent fixture at the Eleventh Street Opera House, Philadelphia. It was about 1892 when the renowned singer changed his name from Wisdom to Windom and joined the Primrose & Thatcher Minstrels, passing for white. Later he went into vaudeville, assisted by the Blackstone Quartet, composed of colored singers. Last season he did a single in blackface. Some years ago the singer married a white girl who knew of his racial identity. Wife and son died some months ago, which caused Windom great grief. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Everybody was doing it--applauding--at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week, for the patrons were provided with the best and most even bill sence the opening of the new theatrical season. Good attractions invariably insure good attendance, so everybody was happy. Chris Smith and Jim Burris, reinforced by Selma Lawrence and a boy tenor, were the principal applause getters. Messrs. Smith and Burris recently formed a partnership to write songs, and if their chief aim was to popularize their numbers in Harlem by appearing at the Lafayette they realized this ambition. All of their numbers were well received, but their closing song, "The Little Bit of Loving I Had for You 'Is Gone, Gone, Gone" won the blue ribbon. In this number they were assisted by Selma Lawrence, who sang from the orchestra, and who, by the way, should give more serious attention to vaudeville, and a youngster who warbled from the box. The audience compelled the singers to respond to several encores. "A Wise Old Mosquito" is a good number, only the second verse should be changed. Why ridicule the race? We get enough of that from other sources. Smith & Burris have a good bunch of songs, and in presenting them to the public they do not try to be funny, but seek to serve the same mission as other song writers—"plug" their goods and entertain at the same time. Bert Whitman and her Three Sunbeams help to brighten up the bill and are accorded headline position. The pick who works under cork appears promising as a comedian. The "baby" of the Whitman Sisters has developed into a pretty miss, who has developed wonderfully in the atmosphere of the stage. As a singer and dancer she should attract more than ordinary concern some day. Bert Whitman is just as hard working and energetic as ever. She would get more out of her song, "Sugar Pie" were she to do less prancing about. Love songs of that order should be put over in a slower tempo and with more feeling than action. The act is well costumed. Chantrell & Schyler do a travesty or "Hamlet." If they would stick to their comedy and pay less attention to singing the act would be stronger. In an act of nine people, which was a cross between a school sketch and a delicatessen store convention, were some enjoyable things, but they were spoiled by an effort to make one of doubtful sex the central figure. The dialogue became disgusting, and if Manager Nibur wants to keep his patrons he had better use more judgment in the future. Because one-third of the house relishes suggestive acts does not give the management license to inflict such stuff on the other two-thirds. The St. Jollians, actobats, opened the bill, their turn getting a big hand at the finish. CRESCENT THEATRE The Crescent Stock Company put on another funny sketch at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week, which was entitled, "What Happened to Dingbat." While the work of the company is of the slapstick order, the majority of the sketches immensely please the patrons, which is the result the management seeks. Although James Martin opened the bill, his act was stronger than the other single and double turns. His opening number, assisted by "invisible chorus," was the best thing in his act. Arthur & Dot do a turn, assisted by illustrated pictures, and General Buff attempts to entertain in monologue and songs. For the first time in months we were made happy by the presence of the full orchestra (piano and drums), which played for the patrons during the motion pictures. Many thanks to the agreement and the members of A COLORED PICTURES A HIT. If the Foster Photo Company of Chicago has other motion pictures on the order of "The Pullman Porter" the arm would be conferring a favor on the colored playgoers of Harlem by sending them eastward. "The Pullman Porter" was put on at the Lafayette Theatre the second half of the week and was a big scream. The story of "The Pullman Porter" dealt with a young wife who, thinking her husband had gone out on his run, invited a fashionably dressed chap, who was a waiter at one of the colored cafes on State street, to dine. However, the husband did not go out, and upon returning home, found wifey sitting at the table serving the waiter all the delicacies of the season. Mr. Husband proceeds to get his revolver, which he uses very carelessly, running the welcome visitor to his home. Then the waiter gets his revolver and returns the compliment. However, nobody is hurt, despite all the shooting, and all ends happily. Lottie Grady, well known in the theatrical profession, has an excellent opportunity to display her ability as an actress, and takes advantage of the change afforded. She is able assisted by actors of less note. SOUTHERN PLAYGOER PRAISED. To the Dramatic Editor The Ace: I am indeed glad to know that my friend, "Jay," dramatic critic of the Briatal Herald, has placed himself on the proper light. You mentioned in your comment upon his criticism that I "waxed enthusiastic" over the same There are reasons. I have been traveling South for more than seven years. I have been a close student of the country and its people. Every year my family has been standing. I feel more kindly toward both The Southern critics have always entertained a friendly attitude toward me, and criticized my efforts for the most part, fairly and impartially.

TUTT WHINLY In an attempt at the facetious they make sarcastic reference to the race I have learned to overlook it. It is no more than is done by writers of most of the Northern dales. When one is on the "ground" subject to the conditions and environment, his views are likely to undergo a change. It requires courage for a Southern white editor or correspondent to speak fairly and impartially of any good thing by Negroes, for the majority of their subservitors belong to the Anti-Negro Society. When one is in a battle to some good thing done by Negroes thereby calling down upon his wife the male dictator of the Anti-Negro Society, I, for one, have an one should be appreciated and encouraged. I have found the Southern white "gentleman" to be the highest type of "gentleman" this country can boast of. There has always been and always will be a complete understanding between this class of Southerners and the best class of Negroes. Happily "Jay" can be classified as a Southern gentleman. Since we have established ourselves in the South and become intimately exposed, gain the country, its comfort and the team playing, South has become a genuine pleasure. The stage hands, with scarcely an exception, are friendly and accommodating, willing to do anything that will add to our personal comfort or facilitate the proper production of the show. The colored people are loyal and their hospitality unbounded. Our white audiences are growing steadily and it is gratifying to note the increase of white ladies who attend. Contrary to the opinion of most colored performers who have not played South, I find the white people of the South quicker to appreciate and applaud an effort of a colored performer to something legitimate than the white performer. It is interesting to watch the change in facial expression of a Southern white audience witnessing for the first time a first class colored musical comedy. The first general expression is one of antipathy, which gives way to surprise, followed by wonderment which is usually followed by expressions of enjoyment. In Ryan, Tex, the sheriff shook my hand as I stepped from the train, and said he was glad to see us in town once more, as we bought the show and took the best company that played Ryan during the season. Respectfully yours. S. Tutt Whitney. Fort Worth Tex., Sept. 17, 1913. O SAMUEL COLERIDGE TAYLOR Love is like its mats of the sunset sky Snow is like its tearing birch canoe! Fire is like its desolate forests cry Love is like its vast, their sorrowful depths Fading: Nay, lilted through a heaven of light, Love is lilted, brightening through that crown plain. Love is lilted on the shores of night, Love is lilted on the deathless fame. Love is a child, so wholly free From all base pride, that they forgot his crown. He adored beauty, in pure ecstasy. And waved the mere reward of his renown. The spark that falls from heaven, not oft on earth. Love him hearts that vital splender gives; His was the simple, true immortal birth! Solely compose, but this man's music lives! Greater than England or than Earth dissected. He never paltered with his art for gain. When a vain crown to dust is turned, The untrained king shall take his throne and reign. Nations unborn shall heat his forests moan; Ages unassigned shall heat his winds lament; Hear the strange gret that deepened through his own. He was one of a buried continent. Through his hair, he gave a moment lifted up looks of hands and beauty as in prayer. Tombbed through his lips the sacramental Cup. And then sack back the number in our bleak air. Through low through him, a lost world hailed his light. He stood at the triumph none can tell, but he was so quickly snatched from night. He stood at the tail, great comrade, not fare- well. ```markdown ``` The New Haven Team Organizes. The Coleridge football team of New Haven, which claimed the championship of the Middle and Eastern States for the season of 1912, is planning to put an eleven on the field which will duplicate and defend its title against all colored teams. Grant Brent, who successfully led the team through a string of victories last season, has been re-elected captain, and with the assistance of Manager Muse and Coach Baker should have a much stronger team on the field this season. All of last year's players—namely Capt. Brent, Photo, former high Jones, Sylies, Pierce, Giles, Conquest, P. Brown, Johnson, W. Cole, Nixon, Bland, A. Cole, Powers and Hazelton and the new talent should form a strong combination. The Coleridge football team has yet to be defeated and has not CRESCENT 36-38 West John B.
