LOCALPHYSICIANS WITHDRAW AID Refuse to Participate in Approaching Imprisonation Celebration Charge Is Made That Prof. Du Bois Would Not Listen to the Plans Formulated by Reputable Physicians. REFUSE TO BE FIGUREHEADS Dr. Gustave Henderson tells of How the Wishes of the Physicians Were Entirely Ignored - Medical Men Injugment. According to a statement to THE ACE by Dr. Gustavus Henderson, the physicians and dentists of Greater New York have withdrawn all support and co-operation with the proposed Emancipation celebration billed to open in this city next Wednesday, because of the studied insult and contemptuous treatment accorded them by the "head" of the Commission, Prof. DuBois. The plans submitted by the physicians leading up to a creditable and commendable exhibit in the medical congress were ignored, it is said, and their request for a reasonable appropriation for expenses was refused. It was estimated by the physicians that a budget of $500 would be sufficient for the expenses of the medical congress, which would include the expense of bringing to New York from Chicago the famous Negro surgeon and medical expert, Dr. Daniel M. Williams. A suburban exhibit child's welfare exhibit, dental and surgical clinics and other phases of the development of medical science were projected by the committee of local physicians who had been invited by the commission to act. Dr. Henderson says that all these plans were turned down by Prof. Du Bois, who planned to use a manikin as the main demonstrative exhibit, together with charts. It is claimed also by the physicians that their knowledge and experience were discounted by the professor, whose attitude presumed wider and more varied information concerning medical jurisprudence and practice than the physicians themselves. Under the commission's plans it is estimated that the child's welfare exhibit which will be put on at the exposition will cost not less than $800, while $125 at least will be spent additionally to secure the presence of Dr. Dan Williams. Dr. Henderson declares that the physicians and dentists of New York be turning to the local medical organization and representing the National Medical Association are united in their determination to resent the slights which have been put upon them, and that as a body they will have nothing to do with the exposition. He has written a letter defining his position, of which the following is a part: "In reference to the commission, all activities on my part are over. DuBois, being all in all, has formulated his individual plans for the physicians—be is first and last—layman and physician. Now, I take his actions toward us as a direct insult. He abrogates all to himself. No one knows but himself, and we merely figureheads As physicians we must stand and teach these laymen that professional respect is due us, and also courtesy befitting our position in New York. And we stand for the highest degree of Negro progress." ROYALL FILES NOM INATING PETI John M. Royall, independent candidate for alderman in the Twenty-first Assembly District. Wednesday filed with the Bureau of Elections his nominating petitions, in which official request was made that his name be put on the ballot to be used by the voters of his district in the November election. Although the law requires that the petitions contain the signatures of about 635 voters, 1,178 signatures accompanied Royall's petitions. Mr. Royall claims that Tuesday he had fourteen hundred names and that nearly two hundred were mysteriously misplaced. The voters of the Twenty-first Assembly District are becoming more embused every day over the possibility of electing a colored man as alderman. To date the registration in the district has been unusually large, and a big vote is predicted. Among those to strongly advocate the election of Mr. Royall are the Rev. Huthins C. Bishop, the Rev. W. H. Brooks and the Rev. A. Clayton Powell. W David Brown and other well known colored undertakers are working in Royall's interest. Several prominent white business men in the district have written to Mr. Royall, assuring him of their support. Mr. Royall wishes it distinctly understood that he is financing his own campaign and is not co-operating with Tammany Hall or any other political organization. NEW ENGLAND MINISTERS CONDEMN SEGREGATION. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 15.—Twenty ministers of the A. M. E. Church, representing the Newport District, met at the Loring Street Methodist Church last Thursday and adopted the following resolution criticising the Wilson administration for discrimination against the colored citizens of the United States. Wheroean, by a degree of the American people 50 years ago the bonds of slavery were declared to be burst asunder and the Negro at last was recognized as free and equal, still in this era the memoirs of the other world. They destroy his high ideals, choke his noblest desires and make him recognized as inferior to other members of the American country. While the venomous spirit of slavery was supposed to have died out 50 years ago and the funeral oration to that dream was delivered by the intermental Lincoln at Pottsburgh before which thousands of lives paid the price for the victory, still the hatred for the Negro at that period was not more arrogant than at the present time. The characteristic attitude of the American people at the present time is no less hostile to ardent the Negro than to arrogant and whores, that spirit still exists to a great degree in this our land of the free; be it Resolved. That we here assembled go on record as opposed to the policy of President Woodrow Wilson and the American people in obeying the order of prejudice to ward the members of the Negro race. A copy of the resolution has been forwarded to President Wilson. JUDGE ADVOCATES JUSTICE FOR THE NEGRO Chicago, Ill. Oct. 14—Judge Marcus Kavanagh of the Superior Court made a stirring speech before the Irish Fellowship Club at the Hotel LaSalle, in which he made a plea for "simple justice" for the American Negro. The speaker advocated the appointment of a National Commission to inquire into existing prejudices which bar Negroes of good education from competing with whites in the business world. The subject of his address was "The Future of the American Negro." "In 1790 there were less than 800,000 Negroes in this country, and to-day we have more than 10,000,000," he said. "Few of these are of pure African blood, and nearly all have white blood; millions more white than black. Here they are about us, with white men's hearts and white men's brains, but shut out from everything in this life worth while." "What is the cure for this situation? Why, the same simple cure that has remedied every social evil since the world began simple justice. The first thing to be done is to free ourselves from prejudices, then to free others; and I propose the appointment of a National Commission to take evidence and report on this matter." SOUTH AFRICAN OFFI CIAL ASKS IUSTICE Dispatches to the London papers from South Africa a state that Gen. Bothe, the new Minister of Native Affairs, has declared that it is the white man's duty in South Africa to see that the natives get justice. In outlining his policy as Minister of Native Affairs, Gen. Bothe and he did not believe in ruling the natives with a sjambok. He regarded them as minors and the whites as their guardians. Natives had no direct representation in Parliament. It therefore behooved them to treat the minors with justice, fairness and honesty of purpose. Gen. Bothe added that when the report of the commission appointed in August last to consider the question of purchase or lease of land by natives had been published he would appeal to the people for guidance. He wanted a policy that would lead to peace between whites and blacks. S. M. AIKEN'S DROWNS AT WARD'S ISI AT WARD'S ISLAND The report reached the city Monday that S. M. Aikens, late of 125' West 135th street, who became mentally unbalanced some weeks ago from hard study of the Bible, and who had been confined at Ward Island, succeeded Monday morning in escaping from his guards and drowning himself.

Harmon, the former secretary of the Peoples Mutual Aid Association, is alleged to have objected to the merger of the two companies and to have sent through the mails letters designated to prevent agents of the Peoples Mutual Aid Association from giving an inspection of their work on the consolidation of the Birmingham and Mobile companies. He is also alleged to have attempted to hire, by alleged false statements, some of the agents into the employ of the Atlanta-Alabama Special Benefit Company. E. W. Howell, president of the Atlanta-Alabama Company, is alleged to have aided and abetted Harmon. Already four of the former agents of the Peoples Mutual Aid Association who went over to the Atlanta-Alabama Special Benefit Company and refused to give an inspection of their routes have been arrested on warrants charging bezzlement. They are J. F. A. McConico, G. G. Bowen, W. M. Stalline and E. S. Ammons. The consolidation of these two com- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1913. THE SIGN OF THE TIMES NOTICE ALL NEGROES HARLEM SHOOT WORK TO ELECT JOHN ROYAL ALDERMAN pankers was brought largely by recognition of that sentiment created by the National Negro Business League in favor of larger co-operation on the part of the Negro business men. The first announcement of the consolidation was greeted through Alabama, and particularly in the Birmingham District, with considerable favor on the part of the leading business men, many of whom were considerably taken back by the petty opposition of a rival company. Dr. U. G. Mason and Samuel Mason, heads of the Birmingham Company, and Dr. C. First Johnson, manager of the Mobile Company, are regarded throughout the South as among the most useful and forceful characters in the race. OFFICER HOLMES AS- SIGNED TO 28TH DISTRICT On Monday Police Officer Robert H.

Harris, A Prominent Alabama Post Office Clerk, Dies HAD A UNIQUE RECORD Served As High Grade Clerk Under Nine Presidential Administrations—Highly Respected By AH. Special to THE NEW YORK AU. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 14. After serving through nine presidential administrations under seven different Presidents and during the term of office of four different postmasters, the oldest clerk in the Montgomery postoffice is dead. Charles O. Harris, aged Negro, who has been mailing clerk in the local office for thirty years, died last week with more years of service to his credit than any other employee. Right after the war Harris was a leader of the Negro politicians who then held sway over a certain part of Alabama. In fact, he was considered high in the political world of the carpet baggers who ruled during the days of reconstruction and finally received a government job. Mr. Harris was never removed and continued to hold his position through Democratic as well as Republican administrations. He watched postmasters come and go and saw postmasters appointed and removed, but continued as mailing clerk. He served during the term of office of Postmasters Clisby, Screws, Buckley and Dimmick and was appointed by President Arthur during the administration of Postmaster C. W. Buckley. The deceased held office during the terms of Presidents Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, Rosevelt, Taft and Wilson, being in service during both terms of Cleveland and Roosevelt. When Mr. Cleveland was President he replaced Mr. Harris by a white man. After the white man had served for a few months, it was found that he could not do the work, and Mr. Harris was installed in the office again. On another occasion, when a new postmaster took charge of the postoffice at Birmingham, the largest postoffice, in the State, the white postmaster soon found the office in such confused and disorganized condition that he could not manage affairs. He got Mr. Harris detailed from the Montgomery office, and had him remain in the Birmingham office for two months, straightening out the affairs of the Birmingham office to the satisfaction of all. WELL KNOWN PASTOR DIES AT BALTIMORE Special to The New York Age. Rahimore, Md. Oct. 15. - The Rev. R. William Fickland, pastor of Bethel Church, died Tuesday night from cancer. He was a native of Georgia and had served prominent charges in the New Jersey and Philadelphia conferences. A large family survives. WANTS RACE TO OBSERVE 50TH ANNIVERSARY WEEK To the Editor of THE AGE: As you know, this is the Fiftieth Anniversary Year of our freedom. I very much hope that there may be a general disposition on the part of our people everywhere to fittingly celebrate this occasion. Some time ago, you may remember, I published the statement which follows with reference to this matter, and beg again to bring it to your attention. What I wrote at that time was to this effect: After consultation with a number of the leading men and women of our race, I have taken upon myself the responsibility of asking our people to devote the week of October 19 to 26 to the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of our freedom. Something has already been done, however, in several parts of the country toward carrying into effect the plan already suggested for local celebrations. In order that these various local celebrations may be carried out harmoniously and in such a way that each local celebration will contribute to a national total, the following recommendations are submitted: (1) That October 10, 1913, be known as Fifthieth Anniversary Week. (2) That schools, churches, and all other societies and organizations in every part of the United States, where there is a considerable number of our people, unite and cooperate for the purpose of holding local celebrations that shall require professional, intellectual, moral and religious directions. An effort should be made to secure the strongest and most representative men obtainable as speakers. It is my earnest hope and desire that the above suggestions be read before the various churches, lodges and other organizations of our people, to the end that the Fifthieth Anniversary Week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere. We must depend, of course, upon our newspapers to bring this matter to the attention of the colored people, if any large number of them is to be reached. I very much hope you will heartily cooperate with, and give full publicity to this effort. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 11, 1913. HEADQUARTERS FOR NEW NEGRO REGIMENT Col. Charles W. Fillmore, commanding the New York Provisional Regiment of Infantry, is making an effort to secure permanent headquarters for the regiment, properly equipped and fitted up for the convenience of the officers and men. These quarters are to be kept open until the regiment is mustered in and given armory. Col. Fillmore has addressed a letter of recommendation to the officers of the School of Instruction, settling forth the necessity for headquarters and stipulating the equipment and rules of operation. An office for the commanding officer, an officer's leucem room and a cafe are requested, with office fittings, stationery and such other paraphermalia as may be necessary. A pool table will be placed in the cafe which is to be in charge of one of the officers. This officer will have charge of the headquarters and be on duty at all times when the headquarters are open. Proceeds from the cafe and pool games will form a regimental fund to defray expenses and meet obligations. All records of the regiment are to be kept on file, and the organization will elect a president, secretary and treasurer. The colonel will appoint a council of administration, which is to meet once a month to audit accounts and make such recommendations as are found necessary. VOTERS FORM INDE PENDENT ORGANIZATION The Independent Colored Voters' Association of the Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx is the name of an independent political organization launched in Greater New York for the purpose of supporting Edward F.

WOULD DRAW LINE ON JAPANESE IN FLORIDA Special to The New York Acr Washington, D. C. Oct. 15. Represen tative Frank Clark of Florida Tues- day addressed a letter to Gov. Park Trammell, urging him to call a special session of the Florida Legislature to enact a law that would prohibit Japanese and "people of like races" from own- land in the State. Clark said he was actuated by reports that Japanese had been acquiring property in the State. COLORED WAITRESSES PUT BACK IN GIMBELS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 15. - Through the influence of the Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, all the colored girls who were discharged some time ago from the basement lunch counter in Gimbels department store have been reinstated. They are employed as waitresses. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS DREW LINE; HAS TO PAY DAMAGES Jury Awards Aldwin Babb Judgment For $100 Damages Against Saloonman Ralph Etsinger Violated Levy Law, Having Refused To Sell Negro Drink Unless He Paid 50 Cents. TRYING TO THWART JUSTICE Lawyer For Saloonkeeper Reises Point That a Saloon Is Not a Place of Public Accommodation. Aldwin C. Babb, residing at 81 W. 132d street, was awarded judgment for $100 damages against Ralph Elsinger, owner of a saloon at 112 E. Twenty- third street, by a jury in the Seventh District Municipal Court, Justice Spiel- berg, presiding, last week. This is the first victory secured by a colored citizen for being refused at a public place of accommodation since the Levy bill became a law. Babb testified that he entered Elsinger's saloon to get a drink. Although he accosted the bartender courteously and was neatly dressed, he was told that he could not get a drink in the place unless he paid fifty cents for it. Babb refused to pay such an exorbitant price for a drink, and after consulting a lawyer brought suit against Elsinger for damages. The saloon keeper pursued the tactics usually adopted when brought into court. He sought to impress the jury that a mistake had been made and that he had not drawn the color line on the plaintiff. After the jury, composed of white citizens, had brought in a verdict of guilty, finding judgment for $100 damages in favor of Babb, Elsinger's attorney made a motion, asking the court to set aside the verdict on the ground that a liquor saloon is not "a place of public accommodation" under the law. Justice Spiellberg gave the attorneys in the case until October 17 to submit briefs on the question at issue. Representative members of the bar find themselves unable to coincide with the views of Elsinger's attorney that a saloon is not a place of public accommodation within the meaning of the law. PEOPLE WITH TRADES WANTED IN CANAL ZONE Spent to the New York Acr. Cristobal, Canal, Zone, Oct. 10. There are splendid opportunities here for men and women who are capable and possess trades. This applies especially to dressmakers. W. W. Wilson, who came here six years ago, has made a success and is sending his daughter, Munie Lee, to Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., to take the dressmaker's course. Two brothers of Mr. Wilson, tailors, have been doing the contract work for the Panama Railroad, which clothes and feeds all the employees. They have accumulated property and are enjoying a nice income from their holdings. Mr. Wilson has had seven men from the United States employed at different times, all of whom have made considerable money. WIDOW AWARDED $4,747 FOR HUSBAND'S DEATH Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Macon, Ga., Oct. 13. The largest verdict ever given a Negro in a damage suit for personal injuries in this county, was that awarded Annie Ellis for the death of her husband, Charlie Ellis, who was killed when he came in contact with a "live wire." The judgment was against the Southern Bell Telephone company, and was for $4,747. The damages asked were $10,000. Ellis' death occurred last fall during an electrical and windstorm. He went out into his yard to remove a fallen telephone wire and when he touched it several thousand volts of electricity passed through his body, the wire having fallen over an electric light wire. COLORED MEN SERVE ON U S. GRAND JURIES. Montgomery, Ma., Oct. 14. In an associated Press dispatch published in the South a few days ago, attention was called to the fact that a colored man had been put on the United States Jury in St. Louis for the first time in fifteen years. In Montgomery and in other cities in Alabama colored men serve regularly on United States juries. There are very few sessions of the United States courts where from one to half a dozen colored men do not serve on the petty jury or the grand jury, and there is little or no comment. Thus it can be seen that the race is making some upward strides in this part of the world. TO CRASH CRIPPLES WILLIAM LEE FOR LIFE at an early hour Sunday morning an mobile driven at a high rate of and by a chauffer popularly known "Dock" crashed into an embankment, a result of which William Lee, a sir in Edmonds & Reese's Cate, 47 orkwell place, Brooklyn, is probably aimed for life, and Harry G. Smith is adly cut and bruised. - Morris Sharpe and several women who were in the service escaped serious injury. The party left the cafe about 3 o'clock Sunday morning while a heavy rain was falling. It is reported that the chauffeur was intoxicated and drove recklessly. The absence of chains on the wheels of the auto caused the machine to skid on the slippery surface, and the chauffeur lost control. As the machine crashed into an embankment Lee was solently hurled through the glass wind-bield, sustaining injuries which, it is cared, will cripple him for life, while Smith was badly cut by the flying glass and bruised from being thrown out. Sharpe jumped when the auto struck, and escaped injury. The chauffeur and the women in the car were not injured. 3X-SLAVE TO BE BURIED IN TOMB WITH MASTER NEW OLANS, La., Oct. 14—After more than 50 years' service in one family, Ann Pearson, who is nearly 90 years old, has been remembered by one the sons of the family, Fergus D. Lee. In his will he has bequeathed her 2000, to be paid in monthly installments of $16. In addition, the testator's will provides that the aged "mummy" be buried in the tomb with him and that, after her burial, the tomb be hermetically sealed, and no more bodies placed in it. Mary Ann Ferguson nursed Lee from the time of his birth, and, in spite of age, cared for him during his last illness. She is deeply grieved over his death. Members of the Lee family fear he will not long survive her favorite. Mary Ann Ferguson came into the family when she was a young girl she was from Virginia and was sold as slave. When she was freed after the Civil War she did not leave the family. About ten years ago the family petitioned her. ?ORMER BROOKLYNITE NEW Haven, Conn.

Va., is having trouble with the white waiters brought from New York October 1 to supplant the Negro waiters who have hitherto been employed at that resort. Complaint is made by the guests that the service is not up to the standard set by the Negro waiters, and one gentleman who is now a guest at this place has stated that the white waiters at White Sulphur are inexperienced and not giving any service at all. It would not be surprising if the management recalled the Negro waiters who have always made good, and who were popular with the guests. WASHINGTON TEACHERS HONOR C. W. CHESTNUTT Washington, D. C.

Greenbore, N. C., Oct. 14.—The 40th session of Bennett College began on September 24th. This school is one of the twenty-five under the management of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the Christian training and education of the youth of the race in the South. For the past eight years Rev. Silas A. Peeler was president, but last summer the executive committee of the society was Prof. Wallace of South Carolina to succeed him. The Rev.

Grains of Democratic comfort have come so few, and far between since March 4 last from Democratic sources to Negro expectants in and out of the Democratic fold that even a small grain of such is seized by us as a mustard seed which could, if it would, grow large enough to cover a big beef steak when the price of flesh falls low enough to be reached by the average wage-grinder. Mr. John Purroy Mitchel, the fusion candidate for Mayor of New York, addressed some two hundred colored preachers at St. Mark's Church Tuesday afternoon of last week in the interest of his mayoralty candidacy. Mr. Charles W. Anderson, the able collector of internal revenue for the District of New York, was with Mr. Mitchel on the platform. Dr. W. H. Brooks; the pastor of St Mark's, asked Candidate Mitchel the following question direct on segregation: "We have been too often won by false promises." Mr. Brooks said. "We want you to show if you are truly the friend of the colored man, or if like Vardaman, Tilman, and men of their sort, you would reduce the Negro to the level of the plantation mule?" Mr. Mitchell asserted that he was for square deal between all races and climate. "Don't you understand that American children can sound for segregation. Such a discrimination is abhorrent to American institutions and to American law. I believe in recognizing merit no matter under what name, guise, race, or creed it is found." So it is; and yet President Wilson has stood for it in the Federal Civil Service ever since he became President, without speaking one word or doing one thing to indicate that such segregation is "abhorrent" to him. We are gratified that it is not only so to Candidate Mitchel, but that he is neither ashamed nor afraid to say in New York what the President has not said in Washington. Here, is another grain of comfort, dropped by Candidate Mitchel, in part answer to the question of admitting Negroes to the police force, referring to Collector Anderson: "Though he is a Republican, and we now have a Democratic administration, I have urged that he be retained in his present office, and I believe that my efforts have been successful." We hope so; in which fortunate case it will be a lucky thing that President Wilson will not have to "appoint him by and with the consent of the Senate," as he holds over by law until his successor shall be appointed and qualifies. If the southern senators were called upon to confirm his nomination, Senator Vardaman has said they would do nothing of the sort. If western and northern Democrats in Washington would talk and do as Mr. Mitchel talks and does in New York we should all have more comfort now and more hope of good will in the future. "But, alas, poor Yorick." We have wilt well. THE POLITICAL MIX-UP. It is now generally conceded that the Democratic party has definitely taken the democratic position and adopted it as a policy that they do not regard the free Negro as a category of the United States, that he is therefore not qualified to be any a tive part in administering the government, to vote and to be voted for and consequently to stand in Our attention has been directed to a new progressive crusade that is being waged with much of hysteria, little of logic and nothing of the common rights in the premises of all concerned by Mr. Chance Poe, the editor of The Progressive Farmer, an influential agricultural newspaper published at Raleigh, N. C. We are reliably informed that a great many white farmers are being "interested," if not convinced that Editor Poe is not prosecuting his crusade for Buncombe, but for Negro blood, in so far as this is related to the constitutional and common right of every citizen of the United States to make and eat his bread in the sweat of his face, by the toil of his hands, without abridgment of his right or immunity, wherever he can find or make a place to do so. It is not in this case, as in most others in which the rights of the Negro as an equal citizen under the constitution and the laws is concerned, a question of right, but of power, with disposition to enforce the wrong. The following petition, drawn by Editor Poe, to be considered by their legislatures, is being circulated by publication in The Progressive Farmer, and, we suppose, otherwise: To the Honorable, the General Assembly of ... We, the undersigned voters and voters of voters, respectively petition your honorable body to consider and draft some just and effective plan whereby communities that wish to do so may partially protect themselves from the evils of the present wholly unregulated sandwiching of white and Negro farms in the same neighborhood. It is the small white farmers of the South, their wives and daughters whose welfare and safety are most imperiled by present conditions, and it in their behalf we speak. At present the unrestricted settlement of Negroes in white communities often threaten the safety of our white farm women, causes part of the white farmers to move away to begin with, thereby lessening the social advantages of those who remain, the incoming of other white settlers is stopped, land values are depreciated, white schools and churches dwindle—and such conditions thousands of white farmers are driven away from their selling them. We do not favor any injustice to the Negro, but we submit that simple justice to our white people and to the future of our Southern country, demands that our people shall be enabled, where the residents wish it, to set apart some communities in which white farmers may settle and build worthy homes, with the assurance that the community will remain predominantly white and that the land then in white hands will remain in white hands. To this end we petition for the passage of a law somewhat as follows: "Wherever the greater part of the land acreage in any given district that may be laid off is owned by one race, a majority of the voters in such a district may say that in future no land shall be sold to a person of a different race. Provided, such action is approved or allowed (as being justified by consideration of the peace, protection, and social life of the community), by a reviewing judge or board of county commissioners." This plan may be modified to bring about the result indicated; and we earnestly urge that any legislators who may have doubts as to its validity will at least give the benefit of the doubt to the farmers and farm women on whose behalf we make our appeal. Respectfully submitted, (Signatures of voters and voters' wives.) The editor explains his plan as follows: As a matter of fact, we are simply advocating segregate themselves from the Negro when they will communities the Negroes might continue to hold the man say our segregation plan is impracticable or a clear idea of it. Give him the exact position of the land area. "Where the greatest merit of the land area laid off is owned by one race, a majority of the future no land shall be sold to a person of did approved or allowed (as being justified by consular social life of the community), by a reviewing sioners." Perhaps when your disenter gets the exact ideal community that doesn't want it, that it doesn't force that plenty of sections will be left in which the Negro change his mind, as many others have done. As to the constitutionality of the segregation.

We have Negro agricultural associations and Georgia that hold annual fairs, let them and do what they can to protect the interest and hurtful legislation. And the sooner the man be appealed through the State and Federal can may know without doubt what rights, if any, sell landed property and to reside upon it or concerned. As a matter of fact, we are simply advocating a plan whereby white communities may segregate themselves from the Negro when they wish to do so—except that in even communities the Negroes might continue to hold the land they already own. When you hear a man say our segregation plan is impracticable or unjust, first see whether or not he has a clear idea of it. Give him the exact proposition as follows: "Where the greater part of the land acreage in any given district that may be laid off is owned by one race, a majority of the voters in such a district may say that in future no land shall be sold to a person of different race. Provided, such action is approved or allowed (as being justified by consideration of the peace, protection, and social life of the community), by a reviewing judge or board of county commissioners." Perhaps when your dissemer gets the exact idea—namely, that it is not forced on any community that doesn't want it, that it doesn't out the Negro who is already there, and that plenty of sections will be left in which the Negro will be free to buy homes—he may change his mind, as many others have done. As to the constitutionality of the segregation, Editor Poe says: But in the next place we are told that it is "unconstitution-shun al." Hasn't that threat menaced every reform ever proposed in America for fifty years part? Hasn't the white farmer some right to protect his social life and the safety of his wife and family—along with property rights? But in fact, so long as there are 20,000,000 white people 10,000,000 Negroes in the South, would this restriction of land sales to either one of two great races be such a hardship on the landowner? The Maryland Court of Appeals has said unanimously that the principle of segregation is not in conflict with the United States Constitution. Moreover, even if our lawmakers are in doubt, hadn't they as well give the benefit of the doubt to the white farmers and the white farm women of the South and at least a show of willingness to furnish them protection, leaving the ultimate decision with the courts? We would have the readers of THE ACK, especially those in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, understand the nature of the new segregation crusade that confronts them, and we therefore give them the salient features of it. To say there is no danger in it, when consideration of it, it is designed, shall be had by hostile legislatures, in the making and unmaking of which Negro citizens have no voice whatsoever, is to take the reckless position of the small boy who dodged into the open door of a powder magazine and let his penny cigarette. When the smoke cleared away only a small fragment of the cigarette paper could be found. We have Negro agricultural associations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia that hold annual fairs, let them watch this new segregation crusade and do what they can to protect the interests of Negro farmers against hasty and hurtful legislation. And the sooner the new Baltimore segregation law shall be appealed through the State and Federal courts, so that the Negro everywhere may know without doubt what rights, if any, he has in the last resort to buy and sell landed property and to reside upon it or rent it to others, the better for all concerned. Democratic primaries and conventions. This has been the attitude and policy of the southern wing of the Democrats party since 1870, but the northern and western wings had not adopted it up to March last, when President Wilson entered the White House. Regretable to concede, they have now accepted it, as not one of them in the Senate, the House of Representatives or the Cabinet has by word or act protested against the attitude and policy of exclusion of the Negro from holding office "by and with the consent of the Senate," and segregation on the color line in the public service, adopted by the southern senators and accepted by President Wilson, without a word of explanation or apology; and thus wilfully eating the words he wrote to Bishop Walters when he was a candidate, desiring all the votes he could get to secure his election. It is very remarkable how much even a preacher's son will promise when he wants a thing real badly, and in a great big hurry, and how little he wants to make good any of the promises when he has got the thing desired! There may not be, and seldom is, any comfort, any compensation, in the fact for the aggrieved, but history abundantly proves that double dealers are invariably over-reached by their doubles. In discussing this question the New York Sun says: "The Bull Monsters made themselves lily Whites from the beginning, to the great disappointment of some respectable Negroes and a great many scamps who had expected to line their pockets from its well allied war chest." That is one main way of looking at it, and there are many. The venal the menary Negro is present in large numbers in every political assn, but he is small in numbers and gets only the crumbs, as compared with the white grafting hosts in the gambling Wall streets and importing and manufacturing sharps, in the Broadways of the land who look to politics and politician follows: occurring a plan whereby white communities may they wish to do so—except that even in such hold the land they already own.

Doubt, hadn't they as well give the benefit of the women of the South and at least a show of the ultimate decision with the courts? Are, especially those in Virginia, North and the nature of the new segregation therefore give them the salient features when consideration of it. It is designed on the making and unmaking of which, is to take the reckless position of the or of a powder magazine and lit his penny only a small fragment of the cigarette nations in North Carolina, South Carolina, them watch this new segregation crusade interests of Negro farmers against hasty or the new Baltimore segregation law shall central courts, so that the Negro everywhere any, he has in the last resort to buy and it or rent it to others, the better for all for special legislation to protect them in their skin games, and who are in the last analysis partners of, the army of district leaders and headers who make low politics a business. A large number of Negroes, of whom we were not one desired, standing room in the Progressive party, hoping for better things than the Democratic party desired them and the Republican party, they imagined, withheld from them, but the door was rudely slammed in their faces by the booted, spurred and khakiied leader they had followed and sustained in his young manhood from the Nineteenth Assembly District to the White House in his middle age. The Sun wants to know where the Negroes will go when the new scheme of Republican reorganization cuts them out of the commanding influence in National conventions "southern Negroes have litherto exerted." We do not need to cross that bridge before we get to it, but we shall not believe until it shall come to pass that the Republican party will ever be so reorganized as to deny to Negro partisans the same conditions of membership granted to white partisans. A KENTUCKY ESTIMATE OF PRESIDENT WILSON We delight in fine writing, the comprehensive incisiveness that reduces a big subject to its smallest form without destroying any of its essential part. The Hopkinson's Saturday News furnishes the following Kentucky estimate of President Wilson out of the ordinary News editorial treatment: If something should happen that would remove the Negro race from this country, the careers of half the Democratic statement would follow it perforce. The political of their political existence gone, the would subside into suspended anima- Net Mr. Wilson is a sore disappointment in us. He was reputed to be a man of education and high ideals. He had been president of a great university and some Penalty and consideration of the office of Delaware Col. Theodore Roosevelt will crucify world wide consideration and discussion of the legal and customary inequalities existing among people everywhere, by the statement, and reiteration of it, that the door of opportunity should not be shut in the face of any man. It is a noble sentiment. It has not phased Col. Roosevelt, however, that he was constrained by the contending forces within him, which often compel men, both great and small, to contradict themselves, to contradict himself, as he did in the case of the Brownsville Discharge Order and in his letter to Julian Harris of Georgia, just before the meeting of the Progressive party convention in Chicago last year. His reversal of party form was no more consistent and explicable on the face of it than his reversal of position on the Negro, and the problems of which he is only one of many relators, the white man being the one most vitally concerned. As Dr. Washington has phrased the thought, the question is: "Not what the white man will do with the Negro, but what the Negro will do with the white man's civilization." There has been much discussion lately in Delaware of the Negro as a laborer, because of the displacement of such labor in certain canning factories in that State. The Wilmington Morning News takes the position that Negro labor has been "practically barred out, or at least very few are engaged in the trades and professions and things of that sort" to-day in Delaware, but it reaches the following fair conclusion: But even this situation, as we see it at present, has nothing to do with the point raised by the decision of the Greenahams to do away, with their Negro help. The Negroes have the opportunity to work in the canning factories, on the farms, and in many other places. When they as a class will "make good" in labor of this kind, the door of opportunity will not be abut to them in other directions. They will be able to knock so loud that the door will be opened if it has been closed. Efficiency in labor is what the world is looking for, and the efficient and capable laborer is not going to be held back by race or by any other kind of prejudice. It is not for The Age to disparage the importance of labor efficiency as one of the most important the Negro has to contend with in holding on to the employments now open to him, or into which he seeks an opening; we would rather emphasize the importance of it, as we have always consistently done. It is on this account that we have given such unqualified support in the past to our professional and trade schools, while in no way discouraging the good and needed work of our higher schools of education. We need trained men of all sorts, who will fit in somewhere wherever a door of opportunity is open or can be forced open. A lot of bookmen and no craftsmans would be as crab-sided a condition as a lot of salesmen and no mechanics and manual laborers to make them goods to sell. As St. Paul says, there are many members of the same body—as the fingers to the hands and the toes to the feet—with each his service to the whole body, so in organized society there must be men and women trained for every service, from the digging of the foundation to the affixing of the dome high in the air. In this relation it is of great importance to say that the Negro needs labor lyeceum in all of the large cities, not only to teach by constant discussion the intrinsic dignity of labor, but the supreme importance of holding on to the occupation now open to him by learning every new thing relating to them, by jealous attention to the work and truthfulness in promoting and protecting the interests of the employers, whose success should also be the success of his employees. In many lines of work open to them Negroes have become so uppish that they throw down their jobs, in individual cases, if the employer makes a simple suggestion about their work or complains that the work is not done in the proper way and with proper care. "I know my business," is a common form of curtness that costs many Negroes their jobs. Their viewpoint is entirely incorrect. It is not their business they know; it is the business of the employer who pays them to know his business, and to do it in the way he wants it done, and not as they want to do it. "That is not the way it should be done," they often say contemptuously. "I know that, but it is the way I want it done," he snaps with the voice and steady look of the master who knows how to command as well as how to obey. Such sort rule the world now, have ruled it, and always will rule it. Our wage earners should remember this fact. The Wilmington Morning Netus concludes its article as follows: Above all, let the leaders of the Negroes rely upon themselves. They should not depend upon the brother in white. The Italians end the Polanders, the Greeks and other foreigners who come to this country do not depend upon the native brothers in white. They boe their own row. Occupations that the Negroes were well fited to follow have been taken up by these foreigners. The Negroes have been crowded out. They should not have been. They have been crowded out because of the uppiness of some and the unpreparedness of many. When these foreigners, who overrun the country as the locusts did Old Egypt, break into an employment and get control of it they keep that job. How? They appreciate it, magnify it; they study all the newest improvements in it, and they make the interests of their employer their interests. This kind of wage carrier will win out in any situation. The Negro wage earner needs to understand this. When he fails he will find the reasons in himself and not in his employers nor in Negro leaders, who spend more of their time in trying to "get by" than in striving to help the waging earner masses to do so. sort of a jackknife preacher in a great church. He had essayed his mite in literature, and had written a more or less pretentious biography that did not expect him to talk into the querie resources of the nonperturbants and use the Negro as a foil for his statismanship. power Freeman: "The Negro in Slavery, War and Power" by Bishop H. M. Murray, and "The Negro Soldier's Turner in the Wars of the United States" appear in pamphlet form. The editor of the Hopkinson's Saturday News is not disposed "to cheer up However, we recall that Marse Henry Watson has said upon aundry occasions that Mr. Wilson was not what he pretended to be. Marse Henry is usually right in making estimates of men. At any event, when we observe the failure of education to efface the basic of negrophobia in President Wilson's administration acts, we are constrained to say that Marse Henry was either absolutely and unqualifiedly right in his forecast of the President or we are witnessing the science of a lifetime being kicked to death by a fact. "Marse" Henry carved Candidate Wilson to a turn before he was nominated at Baltimore and then ate him, piece meal, in silence, after he was nominated. But his pen pictures of the man were faithful and true. We call special attention to the appeal of Dr. Booker T. Washington, published in another part of The Age, in which he urges the observance of the fifteenth anniversary of the Negro's freedom during the week of October 19. This book is one of the special historical the American Negro, and all schools, churches, societies and organizations should fittingly celebrate Fifteenth Anniversary Week. EDITORIAL NOTES The Tuskegee Student says the farm division has threeded 5,000 oats and has 4,000 more to be threshed for the institute. Very good. The Age can reasonably take credit to itself for pitching the keynote and keeping it pitched against the segregation of races in the departments of the government, and for helping to work out revocation of the segregation orders. Those who underrate the power of The Age as a maker of public opinion will have trouble with themselves. Now we have two policemen in New York here at a short while ago we had now. Now for the third one. There is only one way to get what you want, and that is to keep on hustling while you wait. The time will come when colored policemen will be as numerous and common in New York City as they are in Philadelphia. Dr. Reverly C. Ransom, editor of the A.M. E. Review, has published reprints of the book "On the Review in which 'The New Yorker' on the American Stage" by Lester A. Walton; "Higher Altitudes of Music" by Prof. H. Law. rence Freeman; "The Negro in Slavery War and Power; by Bishop H. M. Turner; and "The Negro Soldier's Contribution in the Wars of the United States," appear in pamphlet form. The editor of the Hopkinsonville Saturday News is not disposed "to cheer up in the wars," but "to advise us, we advised him." We hope you are right; he says gloomily, "but the trend of current events seems to indicate that the worst yet to come is the war, but at the more we look forward cheerful, to brighter days coming in order to help us safely through the worst." The Nortfolk Journal and Guide thinks that *segregation* and Jim Crow laws only reflect discredit upon the dominant race and serve as stepping stones to Negroism. Perhaps, but we have not lost any stepping stones of that kind; and yet the sentiment contains much of truth. Races that have to fight continually to live die finally as the Irish, Irish and Jewish people have done and are doing that, and we have no satisfaction in the prospect that the Negro race is being forced to the same task. Congressman Henry P. Hobson of Alabama has many great big ideas, some of which he springs upon the public from time to time. He now wants the Government to issue a weekly publication, be known by the public, and a tree circulation of some 8,895,000 per week, each Senator to be entitled to 25,000 and each Congressman 15,000 copies a week. He asks for an appropriation of $75,000,000 to start the humbug on its way. He asks for the humbug when the chance is given, and legislators have always regarded taxpayers as easy marks. The white Europeans in Africa have troubles of one sort and another with the natives all of the time. The Mad Mullah of the Soudan country, like the Negrones of Abysinia, appears to possess a charmed life, with power to go and fro in the earth any old time, both of them have been reported dead so often that we are no longer surprised that they are on the warpath whenever there is an outbreak of natives. Just now the Mad Mullah is giving the British Government much trouble in Somalia, with many tribesmen in rebellion. It is gratifying to have Governor *O'Neal of Alabama* take such a sympathetic interest in the reform of the convict prison and lease system of his State. Much good would result if Governor *O'Neal* could see it wise to get a conference of Southern Governors together for the specific purpose of considering radical reforms in the prison system of the Southern States. No more humane question Two little black merchants of Fortran, N. 3., about 10 years old, learning that rats were used to blacken the city parks to took black cat and have five kittens. Superintendent Burk and assured him the cats would clean out the rats. "How much?" asked Mr. Burk, "Fifty cents," said the little merchants. Mr. Burk, laughed, and said he would try the cats. Those young merchants have the right idea. If there is demand for a thing, make an effort to supply it. Merchant princes are made in that way. Gov. Cole Blease of South Carolina, is atil at it like the trick mule in the circus. As chairman of the trustee board of the University of South Carolina, he says he will urge that people of the Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and French races, any other race enter the institute as pure-blooded white man, not even the Cuban." Gov. Blease is proud of South Carolina because it has exalted him above his worth, but South Carolina should be ashamed of Gov. Blease because he has dragged its good name into the nation. Of the nation. But he will reach the end of his rope. All such do when they get to it. The Philadelphia Tribune thinks that "ultimately the United States is likely to need all the battleships that the most extravagant jingoes ever demanded as a guarantee of peace." Not ultimately, but now; and colored soldiers also, although the latter are much desplaced and slighted in times of peace and when promotions for service and rewards for valor are given out. The United States has come to be a cranky nation, bent upon queering itself at home and with friendly powers abroad. A nation's best guaranty of peace is not battleships and soldiers, but justice in dealing with its own and with other people. In Baltimore, where segregation laws are leading to riots and other unpleasant things, the Afro American Ledger says of the lilthy situation: "Will some of our kind friends who are engaged in the work of segregating us tell us where we are going to live. We have no air ships and cannot borrow in the ground as the ground hops do, and as they do not want us to live either in the city or country, pray tell us where we shall And the capitol of the Nation only one hour from Baltimore! And when it is reached what is to be found? A condition almost as intolerable as that at Richmond, the old Confederate capital, three hours from Washington. White Democrats in Congress from the North appear to be hopelessly under the spell of the white Democrats from the South on the Negro question, and white Republicans in Congress have lost their power of speech on the same question. If there was one man in the Senate and one in the House with the courage of Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens to take up the cause of the Negro, the Southern cowards would soon run to cover, as the public opinion of the nation is against them, and they thereby reanimate the marbled body of the Republican party with a new lease of life and of power. Where is the one man of the two of them? Will it be Henry Cabot Lodge of Bunker Hill or Hola Purpose of Geithsburg or neither? We shall see. We learn from the Tunkegue Student that Mr. Isaac Fisher, a graduate of Tunkegue Institute in the class of 1898, and who is a successful school teacher in Alabama, has just been awarded the prize of $100 offered by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the best paper on the subject, "Ten Reasons why Persons Should Come to Missouri." Mr. Fisher has won five prizes since 1908, none of which related directly to the race question, as follows: 1508—Craftsman Contest, New York. "The Relation Between Manual Training in the Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency;" third prize. 1909—Manufacturers Record, Baltimore.

Most of my products are sold in the local community. I have six lots, on four of which I have my garden." A column of such evidence could be reproduced, all showing that the young folks from our schools are doing the hard work that makes for good results. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS. THE MAN WHO DREAMED DREAMS. There are people who spend their lives in dreaming but never accomplish anything. There are others who dream of achieving anything, and they have in vision seen. To this latter class belongs Notible Benjamin Smith of Birmingham, Ala. After learning brick masonry at Taukeeseg out and began working at his trade. Nine years ago he arrived in Birmingham, Ala., with a capital of $4.30, but with large visions of the time he would self and own a lot of property. The first three weeks in Birmingham he was paid $18 a week. The next four weeks he received $20 a week. During all this time he was asking himself what would be the answer that came to him was, "Yes, if you make it come true." Smith decided that the first step toward accomplishing this would be to go into business for himself. With this business, he contracted a bricklayer. His venture was successful. Within a year he had saved money enough to go into the real estate business. The purchase of his first piece of property turned out to be profitable. He built his confidence in himself and enthusiasm for the real estate business. His next venture and his next were successful. He branched out into other lines of businesses, began to lend money and owned a lot of an industrial insurance company. Smith is at present one of the leading young colored business men of Birmingham. The rents from his property amount to about $275 a month. The rent from his office is over $5,000. One of the most valuable pieces of property which he owns is the Smith Building, a $20,000 two-story office building. He has not only accumulated a large number but also rendered valuable services to the colored people of Birmingham by negotiating loans for those who wished to buy or build. Because of his business interests, he placed in his hands for this purpose. In one year the total amount loaned by him was $60,000. There are many Negroes in that city owning comfortable homes, the purchase of which is difficult through his advice with his assistance. It appears that Smith's dream is rapidly coming true. For with a monthly income of $400, and increasing business as profits, he is a long way removed from the office, but he is outwarded for a capital of $4.30. It is possible for any young man who learns brick masonry, or some other trade, as taught by the Tuskegee Institute, to use this trade as Smith has done as a baker for a century and become a valuable citizen in the community where he may locate. LAUDS GALLANT TENTH. (From Springfield Republican.) At a time when colored citizens of the United States find fewer things to cheer them than ought to be the case, it will do them good to hear of the praise which Maj. Gen. John A. Cavaliere, the army, bestowed upon the 19th United States cavalry at a recent reception tendered the troopers by the colored citizens of Washington, Gen. Wood helped to welcome them, and in his address spoke of the bravery of the 10th Cavalry as the representatives of their race. "Your record," he said, "has been a splendid one. I do not know of any other regiment that has had a cleaner or better record since then. I am in no position to say that." The cavalry and praise could not go beyond that, and it was the word filly and honestly spoken. Brooklyn, N. Y. The following article is reprinted from the Arkansas Gazette of Little Rock, Ark.: No scheme of public education is complete unless it includes the training of the hand and the heart. Overemphasis has been placed on the training of the head in the past. The result has been that our public schools frequently have failed to prepare the mass of our citizens for good citizenship and efficient service. The effort has been to train the few for leadership rather than the many for service. But a state of ignorance education is the unwarrant of civilization, and importance the hand-maid of crime, measures, through its public school system, the responsibility of educating not a few here and there to dominate the large majority, but to训 all the children of all the people to the highest possible measure of elucency. The success or failure of a democracy depends upon how well we accomplish this task. Reduce it to the last analysis and the public school proves itself worthy of the support which the state gives it if it succeeds in accomplishing this dual mission: First, to teach the boys and girls to Second, to teach them to make life better worth living. The Industrial Idea. Until recent years we have believed that if boys and girls pursued diligently the literary subjects prescribed for scholars in the monastic schools of the middle ages, they would by some means of transformation never clearly understood become adapted to any occupation or profession in which they chose to engage. Nowadays it is difficult to convince the average man that a knowledge of algebra is as good for a farmer as a knowledge of practical agriculture; a knowledge of mathematics or blacksmithing or the geography of a foreign country a better dry goods salesman, or cube root make a woman a better mother and housekeeper. We have to-day a new conception of what constitutes an education. We recognise that some men, skilled in the classica, are of far less service to the state and humanity than are some illiterates. We stress more and more the real thing in education, and that which is genuine takes on value. We are striving to forsake conventions that the second most artificial in our conduct and habits of life. The industrial idea has taken hold extensively in the public school systems of the Northern and Western state, and trade schools and departments of domestic science and of art flourish everywhere. The idea of industrial education for Negroes in a school seems to have originated with General Samuel C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampston Institute, Virginia. He stated a report to his trustees concerning Hampston: "The object of this school is, first, to make men and women, not profound scholars; second, to dignify labor." He specified that Latin and Greek be not taught at Hampton, and "limited the curriculum to the common English branches, and behind it all, no need to earn support, but as a means of grace and hope of glory." From its inception Hampton has stressed the value of cleanliness, personal hygiene, thrift and industry, and through these habits of life its students have attained the Hampton spirit—a rare spirit of devotion to an ideal and service to humanity. Booker T. Washington, the greatest exponent of Indo-American education in the South, himself a product of Hampton, inculcates this spirit in the Tuskegee graduates, other similar institutions of lesser magnitude throughout the South are working along similar lines. New Fund for Work. A recent force in the practical education of the Negro in the South is the Anna T. Jeanes Fund for Negro Rural Education. This fund is being used by its trustees under the direction of Dr. James H. Dillard of New Orleans to provide salaries for industrial teachers in 119 counties in 13 of the Southern states. During 1912 $36,000 was spent in this manner. In many counties of the South the Jeanes Fund no longer pays the salary of such a teacher, but the value of such a teacher having been demonstrated, the county itself provides the necessary funds to support the work. The work of these industrial teachers will be told in words later in this story. Another recent factor in the development of the industrial idea in our common schools is found in the newly created office of state supervisor of rural schools for Nerrores, an office made possible by an appropriation from the General Education Board of New York City to carry on this work in several Southern states. This work will strive to spread the industrial work in State among the Nerro schools, to direct and perfectize the work where it is already installed, and to co-operate constantly with county superintendents, directors and teachers to make the rural schools as truly efficient as possible. Jeanes Fund Teachers. The counties which have enjoyed the benefits of the Jennes Fund philanthropy during the past sessions are Arkansas, Ashley, Chelot, Dcals, Deha, Jefferson, Lafayette and Pulaaki. The same counties will continue to receive aid during the coming session, and in addition to these Jackson, Hempzaaf and Monroe have been accorded the benefits of this fund. These teachers must have as one qualification skill in some arts that can be taught in rural communities. These include a practical knowledge of how to sow, how to cook, how to garden, how to make baskets of willow leaves, how to make chair bottoms, horse collars and other articles of shocks, how to make and use oak sticks in bakery and in other ways; how to use tools of various kinds for orderly work about the home and farm; how to launder clothes and keep a clean; how to repair harnesses, fire traps and fences; how to do simple wood and iron work; how to select small grow crops; how to look after the milk supply and the poultry, and make common domestic arts. In addition, being teachers along some of the lines at least, the Jeanes Fund must be willing and able to teach to pupils and patrons of the schools to encourage them to raise standard of living. They teach how to make themselves stronger physically and how to resist diseases. They arouse their ambition to make better crops, to own their own home and to take better care of what they have a greater interest in agriculture and social mobility. In general their mobility to the community and country is all of the reasons and cheer. They would strive to give the Negroes a greater interest in and a better understanding of country life, to enable them to produce more and conserve more of what they produce, to keep them better satisfied to live in the rural districts and to prevent so many from crowding into the cities, there to frequently to lead lives of idleness and crime. Services in Demand: In Dasha county the services of Mattei Johnson are in such demand for her work in sewing, basketry, head work, weaving, millinery, shuck work and dressmaking, that the school communities outside of Arkansas City, her home, cheerfully pay her travelling expenses to secure her services two or three times a month. At the close of last session, Mattei Johnson had this work on exhibition, and many of the white people of the town went out to see it. So attractive did the work appear that one little white girl rather bitterly reproached a school director for giving the colored children advantages that the school did not have. Edmonda Parker, in Chicot County, is enthusiastic about her work and knows how to enthuse others. She walked four miles to take lessons from a basket maker who makes baskets of split oak, in order that she might teach the art. Both she and Mattei Johnson attended the meeting of the canning club agents held in Little Rock during May under the auspices of the United States agricultural demonstration-service at their own expense, to learn the art of canning vegetables and fruit, that they might be better prepared to work among their people. Mary Robinson, in Dallas County, has a high standard of excellence for her work. The white citizens of Fordyce have been encouraged to keep her supplied with all she needs to carry it on. They appreciate her services so much that they themselves pay her expenses to other schools in the county in order to have her make Fordyce her headquarters. Sewing Not Neglected. S. A. Johnson in Palukih devotes much of his time to chair caning, basketry and chuck work, but sewing is not neglected. He, too, attended the canning demonstrations in Little Rock. This year he has organized a corn club of 79 members and a canning club of 86 members among the colored girls and boys of this county. His founding feature of P. A. Garrison's work in Arkansas County is shown in the illustration. The broom corn industry is proving not only helpful to those boys that make brooms, but also to the farmers thereabouts, who find a ready market for a good paying crop. Mary Stamps, who makes her headquarters at the Stamps Industrial School, is doing effective work there as well as in the rural schools near by. The worker in Ashley County, with which she supplied with an excellent building for this work at that point, and is getting satisfactory results. Other Forces in Arkansas. Outside of the James Fund industrial teachers in the eight counties mentioned, there are many others engrained in spreading the doctrine of industrial education in various forms in Arkansas. At Hope, for instance, with aid received from the Slater Fund, excellent work is being done in the household arts. Special rooms and equipment have been provided by the school directors to carry on this work, and school and city officials of that progressive town can testify, together with the writer, to the fact that the girls in the cooking class last season successfully mastered the culinary art. A workshop for boys has recently been erected on the school grounds there under the direction of the principal, H. C. Yerger. The excellent courses in domestic science and art and in manual training at the M. W. Gibbs High School in Little Rock under Dora Adair and P. L. Dorman, are helping to make efficient and practical citizens. The school garden work at the Gibbs High School, and at the several elementary schools under the direction of Mr. C. W. Watson of the United States demonstration service, are arousing great interest in this important subject. The course in domestic art at Philander Smith College, are teaching in manual training in manual training at the Arkansas Baptist College are doing much to spread the doctrine of industrial education among Negroes. The work of A. B. Crump at Carden in school gardening and in encouraging co-operative farming deserves special mention. The practical work in sowing at the Branch Normal at Pine Bluff, and the valuable work in wood and iron there, as well as the practical agricultural course offered there by C. P. McLurckin, all point to the general awakening along these lines. And here also should be mentioned the valuable services rendered the Negroes through the activities of Ralph Amos, United States demonstration, working under the direction of C. W. Watson, state college. The practical work that are contributing to the spread of the doctrine of industrial education in Arkansas, but they are those with which the writer is now in touch, and give some idea of the scope and spread of the work. Plans are being made to operate agricultural schools in some of the counties, and tractors of land have already been purchased for their location. Teachers' Summer School. There have just been in operation during June in five cities and towns of the state, four-week industrial summer normals. At these schools, in addition to the literary work required to make a teacher's certificate, there were offered courses in household arts, and in handcraft of various kinds. These courses were designed especially to train the teachers of Arkansas to undertake in their schools some hand work, and to relate the school work more closely to the community activities. In addition to the industrial teachers stationed at each of these summer schools for the four-week traveling specialists along industrial lines, and practical lecturers visited the schools and lectured them, taught the teachers practical training. The State Board of Health and the United States agricultural dehonoration forces united with the State Department of Education in furnishing lecturers for these schools. The warmest co-operation was received from the Negro educators of the State, many of whom spent the entire twenty days teaching and lecturing to the teachers without compensation for their services, on account of and the teachers of Armenia received this summer an introduction at least to the teaching of industries in the common schools. Possibilities of the Work. It is impossible to overestimate the possibilities in this industrial movement among the Negroes, particularly in rural communities. Hampton, Tuskegee and similar institutions have succeeded well in industrialising the lives of their graduates. This should give us encouragement to carry into every Negro district in Arkansas school work, of this type. The fact of the ignorance of the great mass of Negroes in our rural districts is no argument in favor of leaving them in ignorance in favor of industrialisation as an important day's task. Negroes are not left in ignorance, but were carefully trained along industrial lines. In those days the responsibility rested upon the individual slaveholder; now it rests upon the State. In those days it was the economic interest of the slaveholder to train the Negro for efficient service. It is no less to the economic interest of the whole South to-day to give him such training. There are forces working in this country to-day for better health conditions; there are forces for moral reform; there are forces working for a greater industrial and agricultural production and conservation. The education of a people must concern itself with all these forces and must give them at least equal rank with the three Rs in our course of study. These all go to make up a practical education. Such an education is good for the white man and it is good for the Negro. The Negro is living here among us. For our own safety as well as his it is our duty to make him as efficient and useful, as healthy and as decent as possible. The education of the people of the South to their highest possible measure of individual efficiency means an era of more widespread contentment and prosperity than has yet been known to us.

ALL proprietors and managers of colored theatres who respect themselves, who claim to be loyal members of a progressive race, and who present the efforts of those who seek to present the Negro to the public in a ridiculous light should thoroughly examine all films made by the Al Bartlett Film Company of Atlanta, Ga., before an agreement is entered into to do business with the Georgia concern. So far in the manufacturing of films that are supposed to depict Negro life this firm has evidenced about as much "intelligence" as does the average white person—which is usually a disgusting exhibition of unadulterated ignorance and overweening self-conceit combined. It would be discomforting to our peace of mind to learn that such films were being made to be shown in houses patronized mainly by white persons, but when the information is given out that these pictures, although ridiculing the race, have been expressly manufactured for "colored theatres," it is time for all of us to express righteous indignation and show our emphatic disapproval convincingly and fearlessly. The "all colored" picture to which exceptions are taken bears the title of "Slim, the Cowpuncher." Overlooking without comment such an inappropriate name for a picture supposed to deal with Negro life, shall tell about the film, especially the second half of the reel, in which a number of colored persons are seen wandering aimlessly about. The subjects shown are of the lazy, indolent type of Negro, who proceed to "ball the Jack," drink gin, shoot dice and steal watermelons. Colored theatregoers who have had the misfortune to see this picture refer to it in disgust. They regard it as an insult to the race. The assertion is offtimes made that the southern white man knows the colored American in the South better than the northern white man. This statement needs qualification, as is shown by "Slim, the Cowpuncher." There are some white people in the South who can rightfully lay claim to knowing the southern black man, but those who wrote the scenario of "Slim, the Cowpuncher," are associated with that class which needs a long course in "Negroology." The boldness shown by this film concern in putting on the market for the entertainment of colored theatregoers a picture representing the lowest type of the race only goes to show the lack of respect held for us by some white citizens. It is also made evident that the film-makers care not whether they offend, very likely concluding that they would experience no difficulty "getting away" with "Slim, the Cowpuncher," without being severely rebuked. With the Irish protesting against the discrediting of their race on the stage, evincing their displeasure in such a forceful manner as to make it necessary for the calling out of the police in large numbers, and with the Jews banding themselves together and forming the Anti-Defamation League of America, whose object is to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, it cannot be said that the colored American is thin-skinned or too sensitive when he registers a strong protest against any movement to constantly introduce to the public in theatres the lowest element of our people. Instead of being too sensitive to the uncalled for attacks made on the race in the theatre from time to time he is not susceptible enough. For if he was, his resentment would take concrete form, as in the cases of the Irish and the Jews. The colored man as a rule makes manifest his displeasure in talk. To voice his opposition to an offense in a barber shop, a saloon or on the street corner is generally the limit of his activities. Were colored men to take pattern after the Jews and Irish—let "actions speak louder than words"—there would be fewer movements to humiliate and degrade us. But our enemies seem to know that after we talk and pass resolutions we have run the gamut of our anger. The theatre has served to introduce many Negro types which have done the race incalculable harm. To-day there are white managers who refuse to book a colored act for vaudeville unless the characters come up to their narrow views of what a colored person should do and how they should act. "Your act is too refined," is the admonition many a colored performer receives who is ambitious to do something showing the Negro in a different atmosphere than shooting craps, drawing a razor, dressed in gingham dresses and overalls and singing "Old Kentucky Home" or something about down in Dixie. It is not the public which demands these restricted stage types but the ignorant white booking agent and manager. What they don't know about the colored American would fill several encyclopedias. It is unfortunate that the colored ministers of the gospel show such little interest, if any, in the theatre. Aside from evincing activity in closing on Sunday motion picture shows patronized exclusively by colored people, they are seldom heard of. No criticism should be directed against their efforts at "preparing the people to die," but it would not be out of place for them to emulate the example of the Jewish ministers and strive assiduously to make conditions brighter and better for us while on earth. If they can deal in politics, why show so much apathy toward the theatre? That the race is being ridiculed beyond measure in the theatre and is the victim of calumny at the hands of the white press cannot be denied. Something should be done, something must be done to put a stop to this vicious defamation of a loyal, patriotic people who have in the past sat idly by and permitted the perpetration of these outrages without concentrating forces and inaugurating a campaign against them, as have the Jews. Both Christian and Sinner, "big" Negro and "little" Negro are needed to ameliorate conditions. THEATRICAL IOTTINGS Brown & Demount are at Chelsea Theatre, Washington.

While playing at the Pantages Theatre, Portland, Ore., they did something unusual—stopped the bill. Were compelled to make a speech. This week, Pantages Theatre, San Francisco.

The first half of the week at the Lafayette might have been aptly advertised as "A Big Colored Revue," as every turn which made a bid for public approval was colored. And some bill. Sufficiently strong to have been held over the second half of the week. There was even a touch of color in the motion pictures, two of them being HARRISON 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. HARRISON STEWART what is known as "all colored films." One picture gave us a more thorough knowledge of how the coffee industry is carried on in Jamaica, and the other narrated the thrilling experience of two colored American missionaries in Zulu Land. Anthony D. Byrd and "Shine" Edwards were easily recognized. But back to the acts. Harrison Stewart has come through with an original FIRST GRAND CLEF CLUB SYMPHONY James Reese Europe, Conductor. Academy of Music, Philadelphia Albaugh's Theatre, Baltimore City: Auditorium, Richmond, W Howard Theatre, Washington Hampton Institute, Hampton, MANHATTAN CAS Thursday Evening FIRST GRAND TOUR OF CLEF CLUB SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA idea for a big colored act-one which should land him on the larger circuits. Even the white booking agents who find it convenient to complain about "the atmosphere of a colored act being too much like a white sketch" cannot consistently turn down this act unless so prejudiced that they are opposed to booking colored acts, no matter how much merit they possess. Harrison Stewart's new act is done in full stage. The interior setting represents an up-to-date bootblacking establishment with chairs, cash register and all necessary paraphernalia. The act opens with three young men and four girls dressed as bootblacks. The girls later don female attire. Toward the close of the act Harrison Stewart makes a change of costume in honor of his "birthday." His bootblacks also celebrate the occasion by appearing in silk hats and English walking coats—quite a startling but yet an agreeable transformation. The young ladies also appear in nity costumes. As the act is new there are many rough places to be made smooth and some of the unnecessary talk to be eliminated. Much of the dialogue is funny. Harrison Stewart and Maude Jones do a neat singing and dancing turn. Mary Ray sings a song which will go better when she knows it better. Viola Stewart helps the comedy end in her tongue-tied role. A good male singer should greatly strengthen the act in its vocal department. This musical sketch has large possibilities. The Porto Rico Girls, with Louis H. Saulshurty and Maggie Davis, remind one of some fall hats, although of last year's vintage, they have been made over with such exquisite taste as to look like new and are even more attractive than ever. Maggie Davis continues to make good with her dancing and Idle Day is as conspicuous as ever. Louis H. Saulshurty's song, in which he is assisted by a bevy of bewitching beauties, is still the principal number of the act. Thanks to Miss Walker, the chorus girls have been shown how to artistically use paint and powder, displaying a uniformity in color scheme. The three new girls work like old timers. Crosby, Wilson and Crosby have an act which is good in spots. The two men could do a stronger skit. Some freshly-laid jokes made a big hit with the audience and the little comedian, who has ability, put over a good song. Bradford & Jemnette have a better act than when last seen in Harlem and the female member has new wardrobe. Bradford has a song about an unsanitary shirt which he can afford to take off—I mean the song. N STEWART In H. C. Coffey the race has a monologuist who should see his name on the programs in large type some day. With a winning personality and a splendid assortment of jokes he has no difficulty putting the audience in good humor. His quick change from a comedy suit to evening clothes is a happy idea. Helen Stevens, better known as Laura Turner, is doing a good single. Miss ND TOUR OF HONY ORCHESTRA Wm. H. Tyers, Asst.

CRESCENT THEATRE Johnny Woods, ventriloquist, and Williams & Stevens and Company furnished most of the entertainment at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. Johnny Woods has lost none of his skill as a ventriloquist, and gets plenty of fun out of his dummy. Although Williams & Stevens put on "The Wireless Telephone" which is about old enough to retire on a pension, they appeared quite amusing in the sketch. Buzzin & Logan and Jack McCourt were the other two acts on the bill. The "orchestra" continues to work with the pictures, and Tuesday evening uncorked several new tunes. WASHINGTON THEATRE The Booker Washington Theatre, located at Twenty-third and Market streets, St. Louis, which was opened last July by Constable Charles Turpin, one of the Mound City's leading colored politicians and officeholders, is filling a long felt want. The vaudeville shows are clean and the motion pictures up-to-date. The personnel of the house staff consists of Charles H. Turpin, proprietor; Tom H. Turpin, manager; Charles A. Hunter, advertising manager; Dr. W. P. Curtis, house physician; W. C. Maxwell, house physician; Mrs. Carrie Turpin, cashier; Miss Ethel Scott, assistant cashier; A.

Eastern Carolina Colored Fair Association Co. pp25-41 MISS WALKER IN SHOW MISS WALKER IN SHOW Arrangements have been made whereby Aida Overton Walker will appear at the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, the week of November 3, assisted by a number of classy vaudeville acts, which will include the Porto Rico Girls, with Maggie Davis and Louis Saulsbury, and the Happy Girls. The company will be patterned after the vaudeville road shows headed by Eva Tanguy and Lillian Russell. There is a strong probability of the company appearing in St. Louis, Kansas-City and other cities of the Middle West where colored theatrical attractions are big drawing cards and are generously supported. CAST OF HILL SHOW Quite a number of well known theatrical folk will appear with the My Friend From Dixie Company when it opens the season week of October 27 under the management of the Lafayette Amusement Company. Among those engaged to support J. Leubrie Hill are Abbie Mitchell, Gaines & Brown, Theodore L. Pankey, Julius Glenn, Evon Robinson, Jennie Scheper and Alice Ramsey. The promoters say that the scenery will far excel that ever used in "My Friend From Dixie." PLAYERS AT LAFAYETTE The Negro Players have been booked to play a return engagement at the Lafayette Theatre for one week only commencing Monday afternoon, October 20. The company did a record-breaking business at the Seventh avenue house last June, and it is predicted under more favorable weather conditions the second engagement will eclipse the first from a box office standpoint. Among those prominently mentioned with the Negro Players are Alex Rogers and Henry S. A.reamer, Billy Harper, Charles Gilpin, Lavinia Rogers, Ruth Cherry, Alice Gorgas, Grayce Lee-Cook, Robert Murray, Charlie Woody, Jessie Ellis and Gwen Walton. The usual prices will prevail. Chalmers and Williams in Pitcher's Duel. The Lincoln Giants and Mack's All Stars played a hotly contested game at Olympic Field Sunday afternoon. It was a pitchers' battle between "Cyclone" Williams and Chalmers, one of the crack pitchers of the Philadelphia Nationals. The score ended 1 to 0 in favor of Mack's All Stars. Earl Mack, son of Connie Mack, leader of the world's champion Athletics won the game for his team when he cut off Lloyd at the plate from center field, preventing the score from being tied.

This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery," and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places. I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I was in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down."

JANITOR on Premises or JOHN R. KAUGHRAN, 88 Hamilton Terrace HOMES IN NORTHERN STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. Oct. 38. - In 1860 the Negro population of the Northern states, including Missouri, was 156,288. In 1860 it had increased to 600,000. The census figures for 1910, the thirteenth census, show it had reached the 1,250,000 mark for the same area. This increase is due almost entirely to the emigration of Negroes from the Southern states. And notwithstanding the fact that the migrators rarely if ever possessed more than enough to pay transportation from their Southern homes, they have grown up with the country and own homes and farms to a considerable extent. The Bureau of Census at Washington, handling the data gathered in 1910 for the thirteenth census, is now engaged in tabulating statistics relative to the "ownership of homes," the count to show a home for the head of every family, whether rented, owned free, or owned mortgaged. For some reason not apparent, the data on the schedules concerning the status of the homes of the million and a quarter Negroes of the Northern states is now being counted separately and the tabulation as now outlined will not show this much desired information. This condition will be called to the attention of the new director, Mr. Harris, as no more valuable or interesting tabulation could be made from the data on the schedules than one to show the result of the actual count of the rented, owned free or owned mortgaged homes of the Negro families of the North, which have increased five fold since 1860 and number approximately 250,000. Circulars sent to thousands of Negroes throughout the states in March, 1910, just prior to the enumeration, laid great stress on the statement that it was the desire of the bureau to "learn the truth about the people of the nation, their health, their wealth, their education, their homes, and general progress." Director Harris' first move was a wise one, and the commission recently formed at his request to investigate as to the work of the thirteenth census and advise as to the same and the future treatment of the data on hand not tabulated and the tables not in type should take note of this latest failure of the population division of the bureau to live up to the expectations of the public. Former Director North, Prof. Willcox and Former Chief Clerk Rosister of the commission are all well aware of the fact that "Bulletin 8," "Negroes of the United States," was one of, if not the most called for and popular bulletins ever issued by the bureau. It is estimated that Negroes occupy homes in the North as follows: New York, 30,000; Pennsylvania, 45,000; Missouri, 33,000; Illinois, 20,000; Ohio 22,000; California, 20,000; New Jersey, 18,000; Indiana, 13,000; Kansas, 10,000; Massachusetts, 9,000; Washington, 6,0:0; Michigan, 4,000; Iowa, 3,500; Connecticut, 3,400; Colorado, 2,500; Rhode Island, 2,000; Nebraska, 1,700; Minnesota, 1,600; Oregon, 1,500, and about 5,000 others in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. 430 WEST 52nd ST. 4 and 5 light rooms, hot water supply at reduced rents.
