PLAN NEW Y. M. C. A. HOME
Structure to Cost $150,000—Dr. J. E. Moorland on the Field to Take Active Part in Campaign.
Recognition of the worth of the colored citizens of New York has been accorded by the Joint Campaign Committee of the Young Women's and Young Men's Christian Association in this city in devoting $250,000 to the colored branches of those organizations from a fund of $4,000,000 which is to be raised in a whirlwind campaign of two weeks, beginning November 10. This movement, the largest of its kind in the history of the world, is under the generalship of Charles S. Ward, known as the best money-rusher for
DR J. P. MOORLAND
philanthropic purposes. Mr. Ward is secretary at the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association in North America. In the last few years he has raised $20,000,000 in three organizations, having a total of more than eighty building trial campaigns without a single failure. It is argued from that fact that the success of this campaign is assured at the onset.
Associated closely with Mr. Ward in this academic undertaking is Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Associations of North America. Dr. Moorland is one of the prominent men of the race.
Readers of THE ACE perhaps are aware that Dr. Moorland has raised $10,000,000 for the colored Christian associations of this continent, which is an achievement. It is not the easiest thing in the world to find a large number of persons in any community eager to give goodly amounts to benefit the colored race. This is said without any disparagement of the philanthropy of the whites. The condition simply is that thus far they have not acquired the habit of contributing spontaneously to enterprises, aimed solely at the welfare of colored persons. That they are leaning much more in that direction in these days than in former years is believed to be due in large part to the activity, tact and invasive logic of the Colored Young Men's Christian Associations' international secretary.
$100,000 for Y. W. C. A.
One hundred thousand dollars of the fund to be raised in the current campaign will be used by the Y. W. C. A. of the city of New York to provide a building for its colored branch. This is a betterment that long has been required. Miss Gertrude James, secretary of the colored branch of the Y. W. C. A., has done great work under difficulties that would have discouraged a less determined woman. Although Miss Cecil I. Taham gentle secretary for metropolitan office of the association has shown every desire to forward the aspirations of the colored branch and has given unlimited encouragement to Miss James, the colored women have been handicapped by inadequate equipment and housing to an extent that made early improvement of the condition of their branch practically imperative.
The colored women of this city are to have a Y. W. C. A. branch in Harlem that will be miles ahead of their present home. It will be fitted out with due regard to their special needs as well as to the general requirements of

DR. PARK LECTURING AT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.
CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 28.—A course of lectures is being given at the University of Chicago this year by Dr. Robert E. Park, who has been associated with the work of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Park has been employed as associate professor of sociology and is lecturing to the classes in sociology at the University upon "The Negro in America." During the past year Dr. Park made a tour of almost the entire South, visiting all of the Tuskegee Institute branch schools doing similar work. Those inspection, trips are being made at the request of a Northern philanthropist who is interested in Negro education. These lectures on the Negro are attracting more attention at the hands of the University students than probably any prior series, of lectures.
KNOXVILLE AFFORDS
AGREEABLE SURPRISES.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACL
KNONVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28.—A traveler in this part of the South meets with plenty of agreeable surprises as well as some discouragements. Few people of our race in the North and West, would expect to find here in Knoxville hundreds of colored people working in the marble quarries, and not only doing rough work of getting out the marble, but doing the most fancy and skilled work, finishing up the work in the minutest detail just ready to go on the market. Your correspondent has never seen colored people by the hundreds working in marble before.
Another thing that opens the eyes of a man from the North is to see colored policemen in a city like Knoxville. It has been the privilege of the writer to see in this city mounted colored policemen riding by the side of white mounted policemen. Thus there are signs that multiply in spite of difficulties that indicate that our people are going forward and climbing up.

NEGRO'S RIGHT TO VOTE
SOON TO BE DETERMINED
Special to The New York Aug.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.—There are now before the United States Supreme Court several cases involving the application of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution to the State laws of the South barring the issue from the North.
One of them is from Oklahoma, where the "Grandfather Clause" has been made to affect the entire State, and another is from Maryland, which raises the issues of a municipality's disfranchisement of the Negro.
On the decision of these cases depend momentous political considerations. The court's action will determine whether or not the Southern States have a right to legislate against the Negro's suffrage and whether or not the grandfather and other classes now in effect are valid.
Maryland lawyers, in presenting their brief, take the inconsistent stand that neither the Constitution of the United States nor any of its amendments gives to the Federal Government any right to prescribe the qualifications of voters in purely State or municipal elections. They insist that the Fifteenth Amendment which is relied on by the opponents of the grandfather clause applies only to Federal elections.

COLORED VOTERS WANT
METZ FOR COMPROLLER
As all party lines are being disregarded by the voters in the present municipal campaign the colored citizens are rallying to all candidates who have hereditarily evinced more than ordinary interest in the welfare of the race. Although Herman A. Metz is a candidate for Comptroller on the Democratic ticket he is being enthusiastically supported by the colored voters of New York City and Brooklyn.
Congressman Metz is regarded as one of the best friends the Negro ever had in public office. Only a few days ago on the floor of the House he stopped a scheme on foot which he described as a subterfuge to discharge, southern Negroes in the Railway Mail Service.
Congressman Metz gives prizes to colored athletic organizations year after year, has served on the Advisory Board of the Colored Orphan Asylum and has educated ambitious colored boys. It was Mr. Metz who some years ago provided the late Samuel R. Scottron, at one time a member of the Brooklyn School Board, with sufficient money to start in business, and satisfactorily settled Mr. Scottron's business when he died.

WHITE OFFICERS FOR REGIMENT IS PLANNED
TRYING TO GET TECHNICAL
Law Specifically Provides for Regiment Composed of Colored Officers and Enlisted Men.
That there is a movement on foot to assign white field officers to the colored regiment of infantry is the rumor going the rounds, and from the attitude of the State military officials credence is attached to the report by many interested in the new regiment.
Chief opposition to the organization of a colored regiment to become a part of the National Guard of this State came from white officers who were greatly worried over the "social equality" bugaboo, and it is the belief of many that if the colored citizens of the State do not show their resentment in no uncertain terms the military officials of the State of New York will see to it that the colored regiment will be under the command of white officers.
When the law was passed a few months ago authorizing the organization of a colored regiment it was understood by the legislators and the Negro citizens of the State that the personnel of the regiment would be made up of colored men from colonel down.
Although the records will show that white field officers have been appointed in this State without complying to the letter with requirements, it is reported that the Examining Board intends to demand that all applicants for appointment as field officers must serve from two to three years as commissioned officers. If this rule was strictly observed the colonel and majors of the colored regiment would be white men, as no Negroes have been given an opportunity before to serve as commissioned officers in the State militia. As a rule the Examining Board first summons the field officers for examination, but in this instance the lieutenants and the rank and file of the Provisional Resiment who have been industriously drilling for several months emphatically assert that they will not serve under white officers, as the understanding was that the regiment was to be made up of colored men from colonel down.

CLUB
voters, of the district are becoming more and more in earnest in their determination to support Royall, if their attitude and expressions at the meetings are any indication, "Rally round Royall" is the slogan. The Royall headquarters, 101 West 132d street, corner Lenox avenue, a force of workers are continuously engaged, and the district is being flooded with literature setting forth the claims of Mr. Royall, giving reasons why he should receive the support, not only of the Negro voters, but of other nationalities as well. Meetings are held every night in the rooms, besides which corps of speakers are sent forth to the various sections of the district in wagons and autos, all of whom are given earnest and hearty welcome. Monday afternoon a largely attended meeting of Baptist ministers was addressed by Mr. Royall and he was given an ovation. Many of the ministers promised their support and influence to the candidate. Monday night the use of the Adventist Church, 184 West 135th street, the
JOHN M. KOYALL
REV. James K. Humphrey, pastor, was tendered to a meeting and a large number assembled. The pastor presided, and speeches were made in Mr. Royall's interest by the Rev. W. R. Lawton, Dr. Chas, H. Roberts, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Dr. Gustavus Henderson, Fred R. Moore, W. D. Johnson of Washington, D. C., and D. E. Tobias. At the same time Capt. H. H. Blunt, with a corps of speakers, made a tour of the district in a wagon, speaking to crowds in different sections. One of the meetings was held at the corner of Broadway and 135th street, the auditors being nearly all white. The speakers were given earnest attention and liberally applauded and all the evidence points to a large vote for Royall from the white voters of the district. Another party of speakers toured the district in an auto, led by William Nicolls, and were given hearty and enthusiastic receptions.
Tuesday night a meeting of the ladies' auxiliary was held at headquarters and the women attended in large numbers. They are working constantly and are doing valiant service for Royall.
Thursday night the lycum of Salem M. E. Church, George W. Allen, president, will hold a mass meeting for Royall in place of their regular weekly program, Counselor Rufus L. Perry, Counselor J. C. Thomas, Jr., and Counselor D. Macon Webster are scheduled to speak, besides others. The church is located at 102 West 133d street, the Rev. E. A. Cullen, pastor.

SYDNEY W. STERN
Judge of the Fifth District. In a recent speech in which he espoused the cause of Mr. Stern, whom he characterized as a friend of the Negro, Mr. Turner said:
"In my opinion I feel that it is the duty of all good citizens to take it upon themselves to see that men are elected to office who are worthy; when such steps have been taken there will be no need of corrupt political machines, and degrading politics will be done away with, and the man that makes pledges and promises will be buried so that there will be no resurrection. It is unless for me to say to the voters of this district that this is a progressive age, the time for the carpet bag politician is over with, and every good citizen should strive to see that there will be no coming back day for them."
I first desire to make myself thoroughly understood, as I am aware that a good many of my friends with the public will in some instance be surprised to see the stand I am taking, and no doubt come to a quick conclusion that I am in politics. I am not, and I have no desire to begin. But this is a case where I feel would be unjustifiable on my part, to allow an opportunity to escape whereby I might be of service to a friend, and besides do some good to a race of people, by coming out for a man whom I have maintained (or more than twelve years). As for his efficiency, I do not believe that he would have received the honor in getting the nomination by the Progressive Party for such high office if they did not believe him qualified.
"I shall not say more along that line but what I want to impress upon the colored voter is the day of Summer, Wendel Phillips, Garrison, John Brown and other venerable patriots has passed, and as long as we are coordinated of such fact, when we do and one who believes in a square deal, justice toward all, all man up and down, I say such man when we have opportunity to do service, whereby such service places him in the front ranks, him it is the duty of the attorney to personally the colored man. When one stops to think of the many issues pending before the Supreme Court at Washington our last resort, each and every individual black man can but sympathize with Tennessee in the case of the K. of P. Likewise with Oklahoma, Georgia and a half dozen other states who have cases there and have not been given fair play in these several states, on account of the color prejudice and narrow mindedness on the part of the Justice sitting. I call your attention to the Levy Law of this State, which to my interpretation is simply a reinforcement to the Civil Rights Bill. But unless you will do this, the cause to come in contact with this good act, it will be of no service to you unless your case is presented before a Justice who will stand for fair play.
"For Mr. Stern, my dealings with him for the past twelve years satisfy me that should he be elected no one matters not what creed they may be, behind, need not be afraid to go before him. I candidly believe That which is Ceanar's he will render unto him. He can not ask for any man; to my knowledge not going around making promises and pledges; but for one thing, and that is, if he is elected he will render justice to all. "Now, to my friends and the public, I trust that you do not mistjudge me. I am sure the majority of New York's colored citizens know of my profession, and I assure you that I am getting a fair living from it, and it would not be unfair to me, and I will not any unfair measure for the purpose of receiving, well, we might call a bribery I would not consider it any more than that, especially when I take the stand of asking my friends, as a public man, to cast their vote for him. I am asking you to elect this man, because I feel that he will be a friend to the race. Mr. Stern is a young man, and I do not feel that he will be content to remain this low life. I will be has touched the rights of pints, as 50 shares our stock is he will not roastake. I have this confidence, and words of expression is too weak, space will not permit me to retribution. The Fifth District compares the 96th street court.
"Mr. Stern is running on the Progressive ticket which takes up the third (Citizen) of the official ballot You can only cry for your own sake, and mark his name. I feel that should he be elected through the weak assistance on my part, I will have been the medium of doing some good for a downroader race.
Voters of the Twenty-first Aldermania District should not forget to vote for John M. Royall for Alderman.
Vote for Herman A. Metz for Comptroller.
Expositop Gives But Few Concrete Evidences of Negro's Advancement
Said to Have Been Borrowed From the Museum of Natural History—Some of the Creditable Exhibits.
The National Emancipation Exposition opened its doors to the public on the day scheduled Wednesday, October 22, by collecting the admission fee from all who presented themselves and then giving them "return checks," good for admission at some future time when the exposition would be ready for the public. This was necessary because, according to reports, while the doors were open, the exposition was not ready. A number of white and colored out-of-town visitors who attended and received the "return checks" were at a loss to understand this move and showed disappointment at not realizing the anticipation induced by the glowing preliminary announcements.
However, the opening exercises were held late Wednesday and Robert N. Wood, chairman of the commission, made a speech. He was supposed to welcome the people and outline the accomplishments of the commission. Instead he devoted his time to diatribes against THE NEW YORK AGE and its editor, Fred R. Moore. His coarse and out of place remarks were received in silence, however, the audience seeming to feel that Wood's position and calibre precluded more than a contemptuously silent reception of his provocative outbreak.
Exhibitors who had been invited and urged to take part in the exposition, some of whom had made sacrifices to prepare commendable exhibits, found when seeking space for their products that they would be charged for the privilege. The price ranged from $30 to $55. Some of the most important exhibitors rebelled and refused outright to stand for what they termed the exorbitant charges, and were usually given space without charge. Many of the others stood for the demand and paid the price. Although the concessions were supposed to carry all the conveniences necessary to the display of their wares many of the concessionaires experienced great difficulty in getting light for their booths or power to run their machinery. In fact, some of the booths were not lighted until Tuesday evening of this week and as late as 10 o'clock Tuesday night lights were being placed in some of the booths by the electricians.
Pictures of Negroes Hung Indiscriminately.
Pictures of prominent and near-prominent Negroes are placed upon the walls; and it is interesting to note the positions assigned to various representative men of the race. A large oil painting of Abraham Lincoln occupies the position of honor, but pictures of the Negro men seem to have been hung indiscriminately just as they were picked up. In a group of large photographs of Negro men the picture of Dr. W. A. Warfield occupies the position of honor. The picture of Dr. Booker T. Washington hangs at the extreme right in the lower row under Kelly Miller. It is said that some one called attention to the inconspicuous position occupied by the Washington picture and one of the big guns of the exposition, whose word is law, said, with a shrug of his shoulders. "That is where he belongs."
An official banquet was advertised for Monday evening, the tickets for which cost $1.75. Many of the expectant guests were unable to find the banquet hall, which was simply the regular restaurant concession, and from all accounts those who did find it fared but little better than those who did not. A minister of Jersey City who had two tickets, after a futile search, came to one of the commissioners, and informed him that since he had been unable to find the banquet he wanted to return the tickets. He was hurriedly and anxiously informed that the banquet was being served at that moment in the restaurant and to hurry right over. A present lawyer of Jersey City minister of the commissioners, han to be directed to the banquet hall. He inquired as to the table and was told to take any he found. It is said that some of the ticket holders are yet looking for the banquet.
The principal feature of the exposition is the showing of sace development by means of charts and pictures. The walls of the armory are covered with charts giving in abstract comparisons, figures showing the development of the race of fifty years. Much prominence is given to the ancient history of the Negro and very little is shown as to what is actually doing to-day. The decorations and ornamentations of the hall are of the Egyptian order. In the center of the armory is erected the Temple of Beauty, a handsome specimen of Egyptian architecture, de-
built by Tandy & Foster, official archives for the commission. Four months are placed, one at each corner, a bronze replica of the Sphynx is placed between the monolith at the south door. Paintings and sculpture by Negro artists are placed in the temple. reproductions of Egyptian columns covered with hieroglyphics and figures are placed at intervals forming a square court in which is given the historical present of the Negro race. The payment is told of on another page.
Some of the Practical Exhibits.
Very few practical exhibits are shown. Many are simply samples or work accomplished in various lines, which, while showing the ability of Negro workers, men, women and children, are not as interesting as the actual, practical demonstration would be. The Broadway Auto School, West 53d street, Benj. F. Thomas, proprietor, has a four cylinder auto engine on exhibit, with Al Jones assisting Mr. Thomas as a demonstrator. A number of the school pictures are shown.
Miss Maud Diggs is the only colored love maker employed by the Liebencims & Lansings factory, Gloversville, J. Y. She has been six years at the trade, and is considered one of their most expert workers. She has a glove sewing machine at the exposition, and cuts a glove from the kalam, sewing and finishing it complete.
Mrs. Nixon Williams, 100 West 139th street, is a straw operator. She has been employed by a large that maturing company near Broadway in the town town section for ninety years. The firm has loaned her a machine and he makes hats of all sizes and shapes. J. E. Wilky, formerly a practicing lawyer at Dallas, Texas, is now the proprietor of the Mull City Cotton Mills, with plants of Dallas and at New Alamany, Ind. The Dallas Mills has been a operation about three years and both plants are certainly paid for. The company is making a specialty of rugs and art squares, marketing their products under the trade name of "Mer-Lim."
The Dixie Industrial Co. W. E. Benson, president, Kowaliga Community,enson, Ala., is operated, organized and controlled by Negroes. Mr. Benson has an exhibit a cotton gin, a miniature oil mill and a turpentine still, all in active operation. The lint cotton isinner, the cotton seed is ground into oil, and turpentine and rosin is dilled every day. Mr. Benson installed the exhibit himself, but having to return to Kowaliga has left Mrs. Benson an charge, assisted by Lether Meadows, student of the Kowaliga Industrial and Academic Institute, who had never hidden on a train until he left Kowaliga for Savannah, from which point he came to New York by steamer. Mealows is a product of Kowaliga, owns its own horse and buggy, and runs the oil mill and turpentine still in the demonstrations. The company is incorporated and has a paid up, capital of 100,000. It is building and operating a railroad fifteen miles long, and has a railroad fluid in 6 per cent. interest bearing certificates of $80,000, $61,000 of which is paid in.
The Howard Orphanage, Brooklyn
shows products from its farm, and
there are samples of work done in the
industrial departments by the children,
embracing sewing, shoemaking, basket
making, etc.
F. T. Smith, 191 Woodlawn avenue,
Jersey City, has on exhibition samples
of Welsh ratbit put up in jars, a pre-
paration which he manufactures at his
home and disposes of by personal canvass.
A beautiful specimen of cabinet work
is a jewel case made by Mr. Berry of
Brooklyn, an old and expert workman.
It was made entirely by hand.
Mrs. Wesley L. Young, of Brooklyn, is manager of the woman's exhibit, and some very handsome gowns, coats, hats flowers, lace and embroidery are to be seen. Mrs. Marcelline Yancey, 329 W. 52d street, is the demonstrator in charge. Dressmakers of Buffalo, Yonkers, Tarrytown, Brooklyn, New York City and Newport, R. L. have placed dresses in the exhibit. The hats are the product of New York milliners. A large stand with swinging panels contains the lace and embroidery exhibit, and the specimens embrace every imaginable kind of fancy works, the result of the skill and expert application of Negro women and girls. Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo is the director in general charge of this department.
Daniel Murray, assistant librarian of the Library of Congress, has a collection of books and pictures of Negroes that is interesting and instructive. The books are in a wire screened case to prevent damage from promiscuous handling, but they fill quite a good sized library and appear to cover every phase of Negro history and life. George Young, 135 West 135th street, is exhibiting the Vacuum Clothes Washer, a new patent, a new process and a new principle, which saves clothes from destruction and the women's backs from breaking. The washer is being demonstrated by Mme. M. Catherine Simons, scientific scab specialist, of 118 Lawrence stret, Brooklyn, and Miss Sadie Sheffa
A lot of African curios have been borrowed from the Museum of Natural History and from a Mr. Young of Yonkers, a Negro who has traveled in Africa. Weapons of various skins, specimens of hasketry, head work and blankets make up the exhibit, which is designed, according to the bulletins, to show the achievements of the native African in his native land.
An exhibit which attracts a lot of attention is that of Henry E. Baker and Robert A. Pelham of Washington, D.C. Mr. Baker is from the Patent Office and he has in charge the records, showing inventions patented by Negroes. It is extensive and comprehensive and practically complete. Mr. Pelham is a clerk of the Census Bureau, and is demonstrating machines of his own invention which were produced to meet conditions in that office. He shows a pastor machine which does the work of five to eight clerks and which has saved the government thousands of dollars. He has also a duplicating tabulating machine which will revolutionize the work of tabulators. Both Mr. Baker and Mr. Pelham are among the most valued enrollees of the national government. The National League for Lifelong Conditions among the Negroes, the N.W.C. A., and the Church of St. Pendicithe Moor have booths to which their friends are cordially welcomed.
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., Oct. 29.—The colored voters of Westchester County are supporting, in large numbers, the candidacy of V. Everett Macy, who is up for election as Superintendent of the Poor of Westchester County. Mr. Macy has always shown much interest in the progress of the Negro and on numerous occasions has befriended them.
Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, who is a friend of Mr. Macy of lngs anding has written the following letter in praise of Mr. Macy:
October 20, 1913.
Mr. W. Franklin Brush:
University Club, Fifth Ave. &
54th St. New York.
My dear Mr. Brush:
I am very glad to learn through you that Mr. V. Everit Macy is a candidate for the position of Superintendent of the Poor of Westchester County. I am sure no better man for this service could be found, and I am delighted to know that he has consented to permit the use of his name in connection with an office where it is possible to accomplish so much good by wise action.
I wish that you would say, if you think it wise, to my colored friends in Westchester County that I have known Mr. Macy for a number of years, and I know of no man who is more deeply interested in the education and success of our race than is true of Mr. Macy. His interest and activity have been of long standing. In many ways which I have not time to explain in so brief a letter, Mr. Macy has not only manifested his interest, but has been most generous in helping forward the cause of our race in many directions. I very much hope that he will be elected by a large vote. It is very rare that we have an opportunity to place a man of this type in a public office, and it will be a great mistake if he is not rewarded for his unselfish service by an overwhelming election.

The Man Farthest Down By
Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education, Etc.
This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From 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." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him.

Mr. Baker is from the Patent Office and he has in charge the records showing inventions patented by Negroes. It is extensive and comprehensive and practically complete. Mr. Pelham is a clerk of the Census Bureau, and is demonstrating machines of his own invention which were produced to meet conditions in that office. He shows a pastor machine which does the work of fire to eight clerks and which has saved the government thousands of dollars. He has also a duplicating tabulating machine which will revolutionize the work of tabulators. Both Mr. Baker and Mr. Pelham are among the most valued evaluators of the national government. The National League on Ethnic Conditions among the Negroes, the W. C. A., and the Church of St. Pamphilus the Moor have booths to which their friends are cordially welcomed.
WESTCHESTER NEGROES
SUPPORTING V. E. MACY
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., Oct. 29.—The colored voters of Westchester County are, supporting, in large numbers, the candidacy of V. Everett Macy, who is up for election as Superintendent of the Poor of Westchester County. Mr. Macy has always shown much interest in the progress of the Negro and on numerous occasions has befriended them. Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, who is a friend of Mr. Macy's of long and having written the following letter in praise of Mr. Macy:
October 20, 1913.
Mr. W. Franklin Brush.
University Club, Fifth Ave. & 54th St. New York. My dear Mr. Brush: I am very glad to learn through you that Mr. V. Everit Mary is a candidate for the position of Superintendent of the Poor of Westchester County. I measure feet, this service could be found, and I am delighted to know that he has consented to permit the use of his name in connection with an office where it is possible to accomplish so much good by wise action.
I wish that you would say, if you think it wise, to my colored friends in Westchester County that I have known Mr. Macy for a number of years, and I know of no man who is more deeply interested in the education and success of our race than is true of Mr. Macy. His interest and activity have been of long standing. In many ways which I have not time to explain in so brief a letter, Mr. Macy has not only manifested his interest, but has been most generous in helping forward the cause of our race in many directions. I very much hope that he will be elected by a large vote. It is very rare that we have an opportunity to place a man of this type in a public office, and it will be a great mistake if he is not rewarded for his unsatisfied service by an overwhelming election.

but irons. But do it with
more, the greatest hair straight
preparation on earth. Kink-no-more
will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair.
Talk about it—a preparation that all you
have to do is apply it on the hair and
with a little combing the hair becomes
straight, not to stay for one day or one
week. Water nor nothing else will make it kink
again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvel
does it do. Its work that one can
hardly believe thou'r down eyes. It works
like magic, and is unique because there is
not another preparation in existence.
For 100 for any hair of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten
Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively more hair than skin and growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantor to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone who has been treated with 600 of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two beads of hair.

Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education, Etc.
This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From 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." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him.

We respectfully submit to The Ack readers of the State of New York for inspection and perusal the souvenir program of the New York Emancipation Proclamation Exposition. We take pleasure in giving this interesting and unique document free advertising, as we are very anxious that as many Negro citizens come in possession of a copy as possible. This souvenir program sells for twenty-five cents. Those who purchase a copy will fill a double purpose—get a more thorough idea of how much some of our race "leaders" know about the Negro and also contribute a sum of money for the maintenance and uplift of the needy.
The souvenir program is described as "A Memento of the Emancipation Proclamation Exposition of the State of New York." The "Hon." Robert N Wood, chairman of the commission, is mentioned as publisher, although the progress of the race is shown in this instance by a white firm, which did the printing. A long-drawn-out dissertation on "The Negro Race" is first given which is followed by a contribution on "Emancipation." Both articles are quite heavy and bear the earmarks of one of our modern thinkers, chief egotists and sociologists.
The first picture in which a "distinguished" member of the race figures is found on page 16. Charles F. Murphy leader of Tammany Hall, is seated a his desk with his man "Friday" standing a respectable distance in the rear Wood's position behind Mr. Murphy suggests that of an office boy or messenger waiting on his boss. This picture is supposed to indicate race progress, and program venders tell you that it alone is worth the price of the program. This is not denied.
Considerable space is given to biographical sketches of the Emancipation Commissioners. Some of their experiences while leaping to fame are harrowing, thrilling and melodramatic. It is regretted that such acts of heroism have remained unknown to the public for so many years. In one or two cases romance plays a prominent part.
Perhaps the list of "One Hundred Distinguished Freedmen" furnishes the most illuminating information of all. Of the one hundred distinguished freedmen of achievement less than a dozen are residents of the State of New York. Not one of the many worthy Negro women of the State is given mention. Not a doctor, dentist, lawyer, real estate dealer, undertaker, architect, artisan or merchant of this great State has been successful enough in his respective avenue of endeavor to be considered eligible by the New York Emancipation Proclamation Commission for a niche in the "hall of fame." To hundreds of New Yorkers who have been conceived enough to believe that we have quite a number of representative professional and business men the list of One Hundred Distinguished Freedmen is likely to rudely awaken them from their idle dreams. Can it be that we have in New York City, Brooklyn and other cities throughout the Empire State only a handful of Negroes of consequence?
The souvenir program offered for sale in at the exposition points out either one of two things. That the promoters of joy the celebration have set about to openly other insult the colored citizens of New York ceas or that the promoters are out of touch nity and grossly ignorant of what the Negro that is doing and his accomplishments in New York State
Taking about the series and comes in accordance with the edition of the new opposition law, and theHXU activity of the white newspapers, and the sioness of the white policy, the Baltimoreخرو-Americans Ledger says:
The daily papers have had much to do with a considerable portion of this regulation. The policy has been absolutely allant, and there has hardly been a voice raised in protest only from the side of the oppressed. These forces ought to be at all times for good, and so are very sure had these two forces been put in operation to prevent this condition we would not now be in the position we are. Perhaps after some serious outbreak which all will deplore, these two forces will come together to see what can be done. Better luck the door now and prevent further trouble.
It is a horrible condition of society when the press and pulpit of a city or nation become the advocates and apologists of lawlessness rather than the stern judges and censors of it; when they nurture and encourage in their bosoms the lawless members of society rather than spew them out and crush them. The white newspapers and pulpits of Baltimore were largely responsible for the abolition of slavery by the opposition they presented to Benjamin Lundy and William Lloyd Garrison and the suppression of their newspaper, the Genius of Universal Emancipation, and the imprisonment of its editors long before John Brown reached Harper's Ferry or Grant cornered Lee at Appamattox. By taking sides with the slave power, and advocating and apologizing for mob lawlessness against those who did not think as they did, they invited the condition which made Baltimore a camping ground for Union soldiers. They may claim at this late day that that was a white man's fight. Perhaps; a white man's fight over the black slave, in which the black man was the principal gainer in the primary principle involved in the final results.
What is the right over in Baltimore and most of the Southern States now, fifty-three years after? The same right in differing phases: 1. The right of the white man to sell, lease or rent property to whom he will, and the right of the black man to buy, lease or rent property of whom he will. 2. The right of the white man to vote, and to be voted for by all citizens eligible to vote, black and white, and the right of the black man to vote, and to be voted for by all citizens eligible to vote, black and white. 3. The right of all citizens, black and white, to the equal protection of the laws. 4. The right of all citizens to equal treatment and accommodation, for the same money, by land or water, in all places and by all agencies licensed and chartered for the public amusement and accommodation. These rights have their rootages in American citizenship. The white citizen cannot lawfully deny them to the black citizen, nor the latter to the former, while the Declaration of Independence stands as the voice of Christian American public opinion and the Constitution as amended stands as the supreme law of American citizenship. The white press and pulpit of Baltimore and the South know this very well.
What the white press and pulpit of Baltimore and the South know, those of the whole country know. When they join or acquiesce in the segregation, disfranchisement and denial of civil rights and privileges to the Negro citizen they must and do know that they are moving toward a situation, creating a moral issue, that will finally "shake the pillars" of the nation as did the controversy over slavery.
The pulpit and press have almost supreme power in creating public opinion the former in moulding the child in the home and church and the latter in guiding the man in the state and nation. When they propagate error, when they stir up strife between citizens "on account of creed, race or color," they invite the confession that makes for destruction.

The Norfolk Journal and Guide lifts up its voice loud and long against Thomas Dixon and the revival in the Southern States of his vile play, "The Leopard's Spots." It says:
Have the Christian white people of the country lost their consciences? Have they no longer any sense of justice and right? Will they continue to crush a helpless people as they would a worm under their feet. There is enough race prejudice and hatred in the South to make it impossible for them to live peacefully in justice and mercy. The dominant race will certainly be held responsible before the bar of God for allowing such depredations to continue and every man that's responsible will have to answer for his misdemeanor.
Thomas Dixon, who was some sort of preacher before he became sort of author, belongs to the canine tribe, and therefore has no love for the feline tribe, of which the leopard is the criminal, with his stripes all over him, as the tiger is of the canine tribe. The rodent tribe belongs in the same case. A man so unfortunate as to be possessed of any one of the three of them has the time of his life to keep out of the poorhouse, the penitentiary or the lunatic asylum "separated from his brethren" for their good and for his own. When allowed to go at large such people are always dangerous—like J. Wilkes Booth, Guieutea Zolgosez, Presidential assassins—and when their hand is not turned against themselves it is turned against others, as in the case of suicides. People who have the beast disease in mild form, like rheumaticism and its allies, are often more cruel and brutal than those who have it in violent form, like hydrophobia and its allies, as the latter soon make way with themselves, while the former often finger on for years, poisoning their home and neighborly associations and making life miserable for themselves and all those about them. Such people are the social discords in the home, the church and the state.
Thomas Dixon belongs to the literary discards, such as Boeccacio, Dumas the elder, Lord Byron. Edgar Allen Poe and Guy de Maupassant, all of whom lived and thought and wrote like beasts and died in the gutter or in the garret, as Thomas Dixon is likely to do, for that his beast has the mastery of him is plain enough in the leopard's spots which the canine of him wrote, as an image of himself, to create enmity between himself and the Negro and between the mulatto and his neighbors, where none existed before or needed to be made. In his case it is natural that the white dog in him should make war on the black and yellow dog in him, and that he should write the vile conflict in a book and dramatize it for the stage and call it "Thomas Dixon's Leopard's Spots," in order that the poison in him might be communicated to others, and in large numbers, like unto himself. The beastly minded seek after beastly persons to 'associate with and to eat and drink with. By that sign the police and decent public opinion everywhere know them and spot them. Thomas Dixon is a spotted man. He has the blood and spirit of beastly corruption in him, and in the end they will devour him, because he has allowed them to use him to wrong the weak Negro and to corrupt the weak Anglo-Saxon and his hybrids.
"Thomas Dixon's Leopard's Spots" was driven off Northern book shelves and theatre stages because the strong people of those States refused to stand for his stink, his poison, the race hatred of warring creatures within him that make his own life a horror and unloading of it upon others a relief and pleasure to him. There are plenty of people in the Southern States who despise Thomas Dixon and his works, and would spew them out, and have spoken out bravely against them; but it is much to be regretted that there are enough of his own, who know and delight to associate with him and his depraved thoughts, in those States to make it profitable for him to make an exhibition of his nakedness. It localizes the diseased public opinion which makes the South a living hell instead of a paradise for all of its people.
Let us all hope and labor to the end that the diseased public opinion that tolerates and applauds "Thomas Dixon's Leopard's Spots" will decrease, and that the healthy public opinion that despises and would spew him out will increase in the South; but while this is being dohe, they may all be sure of the truth as stated by the Journal and Guide, that "the dominant race will certainly be held responsible before the bar of God for allowing such depredations to continue, and every man that is responsible will have to answer for his misdoings." There will be no appeal from that truth.
OUR THANKFUL PRESIDENT.
President Wilson has issued his nirs Thanksgiving Proclamation. It is natural that he has much to be thankful for and should find much that he thinks the nation should be thankful for. He therefore designates Thursday, November 27, as Thanksgiving Day, which has come to be more a day of high-price eating and drinking than of Thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God. The national tendency is not toward purity and temperance, but toward self-importance and sufficiency and excesses in the use and display of the prosperity the individual as well as the nation enjoys. Humility in dealing with each other and with tenure nation, has ceased to be a national asset, the degree of reserved strength and dignity that used to make the nation strong in moral force at home and respected abroad have been replaced by an arrogance.

gance and insolence to each other and to foreign powers, not only intensely vulgar as a display of physical strength and material wealth, but a threatening indication of danger, because of the loss of spiritual guidance and of high moral ideas in the life of the people and the administration of the Government.
The following is the gist of the President's Proclamation.
The season is at hand in which it has been out long respected custom as a people return in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His manifold mercies and blessings to us as a nation. The year that has just passed has been marked in a peculiar degree by manifestation of His praises and beneficent providence. We have not only had peace with our own borders and with the people of the world but that peace has been registered by constantly multiplying evidences of genuine friendship of mutual sympathy and understanding, and of the happy operation of many elevating influences both of ideal and experience.

the world. We are called to be also the moral and spiritual champion of ethics and to help us live in a spirit of kindness, righteousness and unity. We have been the principal completion of the great work at the fathom of Panam which not only exemplifies the nation's abundant resources to accomplish what it will and the distinguished skill and capacity of its public servants, but also promotes the beginning of a new age, of new contacts, new neighborhoods, new sympathies, new bonds, and new achievements of cooperation and peace.
"Liberate earth with a nation," and "Praise on earth, good will toward men," forish the only foundations upon which can be built the lasting achievements of the human spirit. The year has brought us the satisfaction of work well done and fresh visions of our duty which will make the work of the future better still.
One year ago to-day we had high hopes that the Republican party would be continued in power and continue to pursue those broad and liberal policies which comprehended citizens of all races as persons whose rights must be respected at home and abroad, with equality of opportunity for all its partisans and special privileges for none, "on account of race, color or previous condition." We had high hopes that the blight of the Democratic plague would be buried beneath the ballots of the people; that the curse of Southern race prejudice would not be permitted to possess the power of the nation and govern it with arrogance and insolence from Washington. But the hopes proved as baseless as the insubstantial pageant of a vision; they all vanished into thin air like mist chased by sunbeams.
Yes, "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." When the whole policy toward the Negro people, which cost the nation rivers of blood and millions of money to make possible, has been reversed by the Wilson administration since last March, and a policy of ignoring him entirely as a citizen and degrading him as a man has been substituted, it sounds like the mockery of the preacher's son, who despised his father's faith, simplicity and truth, to read the words of our thankful President.
We have fifty years of freedom and opportunity behind us which the Democratic party cannot take away from us, and of which, all things considered, we made the most according to our lights. For them we are thankful. God lives, and the Government at Washington will not always be ruled by the Democratic party.
THE SIN OF RACE PREJUDICE
When the Israelites were in trouble they ran and looked to the Lord to help and protect them from their wrongdoings; when the sun shone on both sides of the street for them they forgot all about the Lord and revelled in the indulgence of things prohibited to them. This was the character of them from the time they were called out of Ur of the Chaldees, in 1921 B. C. to the scattering of them at the Cross of Jesus in Jerusalem. 33 A. D. They are still doing the old things in the old ways, for the most part, in every quarter of the globe.
The old Israelite and the new Negro are very much alike in this respect When a Negro is prosperous and healthy he covers all the space about him with the shadow of his importance and wakes up the echoes with the loudness of his talk and the glitter of his appearing. He forgets all about the Lord, who brought him out of the land of slavery, out of the House of Bondage, and placed his feet upon the Rock of Freedom.
We notice with interest that many of our newspapers and wise men, having been led to the truth of this fact by THE AGE, in the day of trouble, are beginning to lean more upon the spiritual magnetics of their slave fathers and mothers than they did when the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, and not that of Jefferson Davis, ruled in the White House at Washington. In a sermon in his Bank Street Baptist Church on "The Sin of Race Prejudice," when "at times the speaker rose to sublime heights of eloquence." Dr. Charles S. Morris, among other things, said:
Take contemporaneous history and read of the heart broken, brilliant statesmen of this country, and you will find that every man who struck a bleat at the Negro, God had withered and shriveled his hand, while those who faced the issue of right and defended him have inscribed their names in honor on the monuments of the hearts of their country. Webster, Blaine, Seward, and Roosevelt, who strode the earth like a Colossus saw the beginning of his decline as the world's greatest citizen, when he struck the honor and integrity of the black troops. I cite at least two instances where God struck men with the white plague of leprosy on account of sin, but I defy any one to show me where he turned them black. Color is a result of environment, look at the bronzeed men who patrol the beaches as life savers. Two or three years have made them tan. Place any man under the burning African suns for a thousand years and you will no longer marvel at the Negro's color. Out of one flesh He made all men breathing the breath of life into their nostrils. They all have souls and to burden them with discrimination, crime and humiliation is not Christianity, but it seems that the blacker the sun burns, just so much as human saints are denied. Take a half dozen men like Tullman, Please, Vardaman and the regeneges like Thomas Dixon, who make their stock in trade, to crush out, the life and hopes of a defenseless race, and they can sink the whole country into a froth of race prejudice that it will take years for the better class of peace living people of both races to remove. It is a wrong and a sin to shut the door of hope forever against the Negro.
This has to it the qualities of truth and courage, two things that have never
whether Sussex left into the Roman Senate by the Grecian, or into the Catholic Church by Martin Luther, or into the American slave power in the Federal Senate by Charles Sumner. When the weak are unjustly treated by the strong, whether the latter be a person, or a church convocation, or the state, and the weak appeal honestly to the God of Nations, there is no instance in Christian history when they have not been answered according as they desired. The prayer of the black slave everywhere in Christendom for physical and mental freedom has been answered in his favor. His plea for a square deal, as "the stranger within the gates, by special invitation of the white man," as Dr. Washington often says with a twinkle in his eyes, and as "a person and citizen" within the Constitutional definition, if he be true to himself and forget not the spiritual power within him, and if he stand up manfully and fight for his own—his plea for a square ideal will be answered. It is up to every Negro to "watch as well as pray," but to work as well as talk while doing so. "The sin of race prejudice will devour itself."
MR. SULZER ON THE JOB.
The Progressives of the Sixth Assembly District have nominated Hon. William Sulzer as their candidate for the Legislature. The district is on "the New York East Side," where all sorts of things are done, at all sorts of time, and is largely populated by Jews, with very few Negroes in it. According to the daily newspaper reports, it would seem that all the people in the district are William Sulzer people. When he came home from Albany last week, having been removed from the office of Governor by the High Court of Impeachment, 15,000 East Siders met him at the Grand Central Station and along the route to his stopping place, cheering him all the way and making his big automobile move with the dignified deliberation of a Caesaric chariot on a triumphant tour through Rome in the old days, when men wore slit skirts and called them togas.
Mr. Sulzer's campaign addresses have been attended by "hosts of people," and have put the entire city in a hubbub by their exposure of alleged Tammany Hall ways and doings. Judge McCall, the Tammany candidate for Mayor, has been raked fore and aft by Mr. Sulzer, so that the prospects of election begin to look like a wet rat in a storm. Mr. Sulzer is on the job—the job of vindicating William Sulzer and smashing Tammany Hall.
MR. ROYALL
Mr. John M. Royall is making a splendid fight for the position of Alderman in the Harlem district. The way the people are standing by him is a real sign of encouragement. Evidently they have learned in the hard school of experience that there is only one way to get what they want and are entitled to, and that is to stand together and strive for it. On election day every Negro should prove his loyalty by voting for John M. Royall. No Negro should do otherwise, and any who do otherwise should be branded as false to the race. Here is a test of loyalty. Whatever ticket you of Mr. Royall's district vote, see to it that you place your name next to his name under the emblem, "Pulling Together."
The women of the district are working for his election. You do the voting and a strong, united pull will put him in as Alderman.
Let it be known that every Negro voter is for John M. Royall for Alderdrian.
MR. METZ.
THE AGE favors the election of Congressman Herman A. Metz for the office of Comptroller because he is a better and safer man than Mr. Pendergast. We know him better and he knows the Negro people and has shown more interest in them—in their efforts as workmen, in their charitable organizations, in their rights as citizens—than the other candidate. Readers of The Age will make no mistake in substituting the name of Mr. Metz for Comptroller for that of Mr. Pendergast. Mr. Metz has been a consistent friend. Be sure to give him your vote. It is time to reward friends and punish enemies.
John Purroy Mitchell, the Fusion candidate for Mayor, should be supported by all colored voters. Mr. Mitchel has promised to give the Negro citizens of Greater New York a square deal and has announced strong opposition to racial, segregation in any form.
Judge Warren W. Foster, who is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Judge of the Court of General Sessions, is entitled to your vote. He has shown his interest in and for the Negro. Many young colored men and women have been given a chance to start in life over again through Judge Foster's judicious use of the right to suspend sentence or parole a prisoner in the custody of the probation officer. Mr. Nott, his opponent, is said not to believe in paroling prisoners. Vote for Judge Foster.
Poor with diabetes and a history of a heavy training, the family was in the army. The picture of him in the army is the picture of his present position in the army. His parents are very likely in the army and as virulent in the age of the old of Pentu. It is often to meet such men under a flag of trees then in an anyway made black by gunpowder; but President Wilson does not seem to think so.
Off color and near black peoples are not wanted in the United States at this time, so any old argument is sufficient to bar them out. The Hindus or East Indians are now barred out on the ground-that they are infected with the hook worm disease. In one way and another the Malays, the Chinese, the now barred out, while the scum of Europe and European Asia are admitted on certain well defined conditions.
Another marine disaster, the loss of the Volturno at sea, like that of the Titanic, with great loss of life, with more of horror, as the ship burned in a gale at sea, or the ship sank, owed to Six steamships, called by wireless telegraph, stood by, but could render little assistance, because of the fierceness of the gale. Disasters by land and sea continue with appalling loss of life, despite the wonderful improvements that are constantly being made in the vehicles of conveyance.
The dollars to pay the mortgage indebtedness of the Frederick Douglas home at Anacostia, D. C., do not rush in with the sound of an army in the oblique direction, Mr. Joris W. Thompson of Rochester, who built the Douglas monument in the Flower City, we think the money to cancel the mortgage indebtedness would soon be raised. The average Negro does not long remember the dead, however much the lives saved by this contribution for this fund to the New York Age.
There are so many municipal tickets and candidates in nomination at this time, with party lines, especially Republican party lines, completely rubbed out, that the average voter is so far as the party is concerned to land before election day. Anyhow, they can all vote for Hrman A. Mots for Comptroller and be sure they are voting for the right man. The same of John M. Royall of Harlem for Alderman, a sure enough colored man who can pass anywhere as being a Negro and be fine to have a Negro for Alderman:
Edward Caspar Stokes of New Jersey, by all reports and our observations and belief, will be the next Governor of the State. Nominated by the party, he is sweeping everything before him in his campaigning, the Democrats and Progressives being "all broke up" with family differences. Mr. Stokes was Governor once before, and a very fine Governor he made, and that is the main reason why the prospects for him are promising. The Negroes of New Jersey should give him loyal support. He is the best man and a good friend.
Congressman Henry P. Hobson is not on the trail of "Hobson's choice." He wants to represent Alabama in the Federal Senate. So does Congressman Oscar W. Underwood, the Democratic leader of the House, Mr. Hobson, he of Santiago Merrittia fame, created wild excitement in the House the other day by publicly calling for the removal in the pay of the Wall street and liquor interests. Of course, Mr. Underwood grew red in the face with rage, and other things, and talked back loudly and bigly, but no blood was shed. The old "days of civilization are gone," the old "Bladesburg dueling ground has become a place of homes, and the lone Southern gentleman who was brutally branded as a liar, a sneak and a thief, but simply gets red in the face and talks back. Even the babies in kills have learned and do that.
Contributions for Douglass Home
Contributions have been received by The Age for the Douglass Home Fund as follows: Lawrence Methach, Ada Methach, John Huggar, Helen Huggar, Isabel Ricard and E. L. Ricard, Aurora, III, 75 cents; from students of A. and M. College, Granshorse, N. C., Thomas R. College, Norfolk. The First Baptist Sunday School of Norfolk, Va., through Melvin E. Digress, sends a contribution of $10 with the following letter: "We are enclosing $10 to be transmitted by you to the Fred Douglass Fund for paying the mortgage on said home. It is a most worthy cause and should inspire all people to the race to strive to raise sufficient money to pay the mortgage and keep this as a memorial of the race love and esteem of its grand heroic men. This money was unanimously appropriated by our people."
"SIMPLE JUSTICE' FOR NEGRO
Full Speech of Judge Marcus A. Kavanaugh before the Irish Fellowship Club, Chicago.
Following is the speeck in full of Judge Marcus A. Kavanaugh of the Superior Court, Chicago, who, as told in a recent issue of The Ack, made a strong plea for "simple justice" before the Irish Fellowship Club at the Hotel LaSalle:
you have taken children appropriate with white men's beauty, coupled with white women's beauty, hopefully conceived with white men's ideals and expectations.
"I ask you this afternoon to put yourselves and your families in the process of raising Negro, white his own wife, and little children. To do that you will have to crush out all the strongest yearnings and highest longings of your hearts. Then see what a dismal place you have made of it. Think for a minute that your little children, no matter how wise they may become, or how good they shall be, are not the public reeves or general honor. What creative remains behind your darkened lives?
"When we complain of the Negro we should remember that one cannot measure the capabilities of a race by its lowest member, but by the attainments of its very highest. We have abashed the black man to the white man. Freed to do what? To become a porter in a saloon, or a waiter in a dining car. Which was better, the drugged contentment of the slave or the hopeless, endless humiliation and burning subjection of the freedman? If the Negro may not use his education it is a cruelty to educate him. If he may be freedman it was a crime to him get free."
"Still he has progressed wonderfully. The general social and intellectual condition of the American Negro in the North to-day is vastly superior to that of the white inhabitant of any civilization in the world. Yet three generations ago he was a slave, a chattel, a thing. Notwithstanding this, it was essential to slavery that the slave should feel himself physically and mentally a slave. Generation after generation this idea became one of the most general community to-day unite in its estimate as to any of us, and imperceptibly we will sink or rise to the limits of that estimate. If we brutalize a man, we have no right to complain when he acts like a brute. To begin making a man respectable we must once possess the virtue of giving him honorable it is often necessary to honor him.
"Do you realize that in spite of this handicap there are Negro homes in Chicago, and not a few of them, the equals in actual refinement to almost any white man?" Have you consid- ered that the equals are here? Are they republic black man, and not a few, in the various professions that are the equals intelligently, and in many cases the superiors of their competitors? One of the best lawyers in Chicago is a Negro, and a rich man beades. The equals are here to him. He loves the best pictures and knows the finest music, but he may not take one meal in any decent restaurant. Suppose that man were to come in here to-day and sit at the table with us—do you care to analyze the equals in this world? The bishop on his silken chair, the splendid old Pope on his ancient throne is not nearer to God's great care and affections than this world exiled Negro. So embittered has this man grown against his country and his affections than this world is no light left in the world for him. All this through no fault of his own, mind you, not because of anything he has done to us, but because of what God did to him. The only right way for you to judge a man is for you to put you in touch with him. The problem is not dying out—every year it increases in intensity.
"In 1790 there were less than 800,000 Negroes in this country! in 1800 more than four million; to-day every tenth person in this republic is a Negro and no other; the decade was eleven per cent. They will tell you in the South they have settled the Negro problem. They have not yet begun to realize its awful importance to them. Terrorism never yet settled anything permanently. The Negro's intelligence is growing in the South and hastening there to an awful moment when the two races shall stand fronting each other in open conflict—the one contemptuous, confident of being in the right and determined; the other determined, cautious and even vengeful. But that moment must never arrive.
"It is absurd to blame the South for slavery. Slavery came to this country when it was recognized everywhere as proper and was salutary to both slave and master, and was perpetual in institution. Through it became a necessity to the welfare of the cotton raiser. Before that the sentiment of the South was against it. In 1861, with one blow, the property and prosperity of the South were improved in the Southern's place. His attitude to-day would be your attitude under like circumstances. It is our attitude in the North, only differing in degree, not in kind. But the time of the slave trade cannot be forgotten, man, North and South, to do something. I hold no brief for the Negro. I recognize his many faults. The traits inbred and inbred again through generations cannot be gotten out of the blood in a day. It can be done with justice. Nobody is seeking for freedom of social intercourse with the Negro. But I believe that unreasoning prejudice should not prevent any woman or man in this country from filling any position he is willing to take. We have freedom to freely use every gift with which God has endowed him. There is only one cure for this evil, and that is the fine eternal heaven-sent panacea for every social ill—pure and untainted. The problem is not impossible. Some one has said that looking history through evil is only good in the making. As Emerson says. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms a great and enduring tendency irresistibly streams.
"The South had the question settled once and the North unsettled it. I think the highest minded finest manured people of the world must this country below Sow the Mason and Dixon line. I sometimes think that the oak of American manhood and the rose of American womanhood grew best there. Their point of view is at least that of their history and situation. Still it is terribly unjust and therefore temporary.
"I propose three things: First, that we try to rid ourselves of unjust prejudice against our fellow citizens by task accomplished; second, that we arrive to influence our fellow citizens in the same direction; third, that we shall endeavor to obtain a national commission composed mostly of white men from South, to virtue and devise remedies for this impossible situation."
William A. Prendergast, present Comptroller and candidate for reelection, has ignored the Negroes of the Greater City, especially Kings Co. and should not receive their votes. Vote for real friends as against supposed friends. Hermann A. Metz is a consistent friend.

This building, situated at the corner of Ninth and Broadway, is said to be one of the finest office buildings and auditoriums in the South. All its appointments being measured by the cost of it, certainly it is the greatest structure yet reared out of the capital and variety of colored people.
While the sessions of the leaders of the Mossic Templars lasted through three days, the dedicatory exercises took place Wednesday evening with Booker T. Washington as the principal speaker. John H. McConico, National Grand Auditor, presided, and the speakers aside from Dr. Washington included Mayor Taylor, William Alexander, the present distinguished National Grand Master; John E. Bush, National Grand Scribe; and Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, who introduced Principal Washington.

Drank a Glass of
Milk and Died
Della Fox, the famous light opera
singer and of one time star in "Wang"
with Doe Wolf Hopper, drank a glass of
cold milk recently and died immediately
after. It was a hot day and the stomach
refused to digest it. She died of acute
indigestion which has killed thousands.
This demonstrates how necessary it is to keep the stomach and digestion perfectly normal, and this is the time when the stomach should be watched as carefully as a mother watches her baby. It must be kept in good condition, free from gases, acids, etc., otherwise acute indigestion may poison the entire system and cause death.
There is no preparation that will compare with GASTROAIDS. For driving out gases, neutralizing an acid condition, preventing belching and great distress after eating. Take one tablet after each meal and you'll know the real joy of eating. At all druggists for 10c., 25c. and 50c., or by mail from Curtis Chemical Company, 117 East 24th Street, New York City.

"My Friend From Kentucky," which opened at the Lafayette Theatre Monday afternoon for a two weeks' visit. J. Leubrie Hill and a large company of comedians, singers and dancers work with vim and vigor in their endeavor to please, and they furnish an evening of enjoyable entertainment. There is a large and lusty chorus which dishes out melodious offerings in a delectable manner, reminding you, at times, of the olden days, and there are at least four musical numbers in the piece which, if sung on Broadway, would be over-night hit.
But even so, "My Friend From Dixie" is not a Williams & Walker production scenically, laughingly or artistically. It is the largest colored show that has graced the boards for several seasons, and in this feature alone we have cause to be thankful. Evidently believing in the theory that in numbers there is strength, J. Leubrie Hill has been surrounded by a good-sized galaxy of entertainers. And particularly in the case of the chorus large numbers have produced a favorable effect. But—
But the success of a production does not necessarily depend on numbers. When the booking agent of a circuit advises you to give him a big production be is not thinking of numbers alone. Madam Sherry, which was such a big hit a few seasons ago, carried a little more than twenty people. But the interesting plot, the clever manner in which the book was written, the gorgeousness of scenery and costume, the humoriness of the lines and the melodiousness of the musical numbers all combined to make "Madam Sherry" a big production. It is the combination of things which wins.
"My Friend From Kentucky" has been a visitor to these parts before, but under a different name—"My Friend From Dixie." It is a pleasure to have "our friend" in our midst once more, even under an alias, as "My Friend From Kentucky" is in many ways stronger and better than "My Friend From Dixie." The costumes worn by the women are forty per cent, more attractive, there are more and prettier girls and the cast is more representative. "My Friend From Dixie" suffers in every way in comparison with "My Friend From Kentucky."
"Dear Old Dixie," sung by Sam Gaines and entire chorus in the first act, is the pronounced song hit of the show. It is one breey, exhilarating, tuneful piece and is staged with commensate skill. It is an unusually strong singing and dancing number—in fact, too strong to be the third musical offering in the first act. It could be used with good effect as the finale of one of the acts. Alice Ramsey, assisted by Will Brown and chorus, has another good song entitled "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love." Miss Ramsey handles this number well and is ably assisted by Will Brown. The chorus could afford to show less lung power in this number, "Night Time" is another stand-out song, and "At the Ball, That's All" closes the show with the entire company participating.
J. Leubrie Hill is quite versatile, and along with his versatility he is a hard, earnest worked who is deserving of encouragement. Mr. Hill is the chief langu provocator in the show, and is very conspicuous in his role of Mandy Lee. However, he shines brightest as producer, and while his book is mediocre, his songs and staging of numbers class him as a producer out of the ordinary.
As Jim Jackson Lee Julius Glenn has a comedy part only next to J. Leubrie Hill. Mr. Glenn handicaps his efforts at fun-making by using poor judgment in the selection of his costumes. Even comedians nowadays are supposed to be as true to life as possible, and with such grotesque clothes and make-up as Mr. Glenn wears it is hard to make an audience believe that a pretty girl would fall in love with him; nor would such a character cause two women to quarrel over him. Some of our best comedians appear on the stage in dress suits and make merry when their parts call for such dress. I would like to see Julius Glenn play his part in clothes like Jim Jackson Lee would wear in real life. He would be more convincing.
Exon Robinson makes a charming daughter as Miss Lucinda Langtree, but with her voice and personality she does not come up to expectations in the vocal line. She does not have enough solo work to do, and her one song, "That's the Kind of Man I Want," fails to give her an opportunity to appear in what she can do best.
Theodore L. Pankey, too, is handicapped by using a song which does not show him at his best. "You" is a ballad, but Mr. Pankey is no ballad singer. In another "Gay Lunetta" he would "clean." The female continuity accented Mr. Pankey quite a reception upon his first appearance.
There is a little girl in "My Friend From Kentucky" whose sweet soprano
voice and dancing are already causing those in the audience to point her out. She is Grace Johnson, who a few years ago was a pick in vaudeville. Give her a song suitable to the calibre of her voice and she will hit the bull's-eye every time. Jennie Scheper, as Mme. Langtree makes a fascinating grass widow, and besides showing a naturalness on the stage exhibits some stunning Parisian costumes.
Lillian Bradford is in good voice, and although her song, "Waiting All Day Long," came after the production's most cyclonic number, "Dear Old Dixie," she gathered in applause just the same. Johannis Poters appears in the third act and gives three styles of dancing. His first partner is Edna Morton, his next Daisy Brown, and then he and Ethel Williams do their clean-up turn. Some whirlwind dancer is Ethel Williams.

EMANCIPATION PAGEANT.
(SY L. H. WHITE.)
The most spectacular feature of the Emancipation Exposition now being held at the 12th Regiment armory is the pageant of Negro history, produced by a company of about three hundred and fifty men, women and children, with specially selected music by an orchestra under the direction of Augustus Granville Dill and E. E. Thompson. Three performances have been given and the last one will be given Thursday evening.
The scenes of the play are laid in ancient Africa, Egypt and America, and portray the development of the African from his heathen savagery to present day civilization. Advantage is taken of the nature of the theme to present many gorgeous color pictures and aside from the historical value of the play, which, by the way, is so involved in splendor of imagic language that it is, lost to the conception of the average mind, it afforded an opportunity for display of vocal and terpsichorean ability of a high order.
The dance of the Egyptian dancing girls was without a doubt the most attractive feature of the performance, though the little children in the last episode in a dance of joy and laughter won hearty and unrestrained applause. Two dances by Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, who also trained the girls and children in the group dances, were unusual and artistic. She danced an Egyptian dance in the third episode and in the fourth episode she titled "The Dance of the Wind and Water," emblematic of the bringing of the Negro from Africa to America as a slave. In the sixth and last episode the appearance of characters representing Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Sojourner Truth, and Col. Shaw aroused great enthusiasm.
The music was specially composed and selected for the perforance. Mr. Dill directed the instruments and the vocal music was in charge of Mme. Daisy Tapley. The musical numbers used were as follows:
First Episode "Prelude Primitive."
"Savage Song." "African Chant." "A Labor Song." all composed by Maj. Charles Young. U.S. Army: "Bambula." Coleridge Taylor.
Second Episode "Egyptian Chant."
Young: Egyptian march from "Aida." Vocal: sacred dance of priestesses from "Aida." Vocal.
Third Episode "Bambula." Coleridge Taylor; "Darkness Descends on Egypt's Plains." Young; "Song of the Faithful." Young; "Take Nandajn." Coleridge Taylor.
Fourth Episode "They Will Not Lend Me a Child." Coleridge Taylor; dance from "Ithelte." Coleridge Taylor; Savage (no in Imaginary Ballet, No.) Coleridge Taylor.
Sixth Episode "O Brooding" shave song "John's Brown's Body" "Take Nat and JJ" Coleridge Taylor children's literature from "O Hello" Coleridge Taylor.
The production of the pageant was superintended by Chas Burroughs, assisted by Mime Marie Stewart Jackson

CRESCENT THEATRE
Business continues good at the Crescent Theatre, and the bill the first half of the week came up to expectations. Williams & Stevens seem to be a fixture, and while their sketches are usually old and venerable, they get much comedy out of them. They did some funny work in "Dan Cham Lightning." Spooner Reilly opened the bill in which he drew some amusing pictures. He is not a bad sketch artist. Tyson & Jones are capable of having a stronger act were they to get better material. The male member does most of the talking, while his female partner has a voice which she should use more advantageously. Harry W. Stout, who was last seen in Harlem in the Dora Patterson act, does a good violin turn. His opening song could be eliminated.

In a clean and hotly contested game the Rust eleven defeated the Mississippi Industrial College on Rust campus Saturday, October 23, by the score of 20 to 0. Rust received the kick-off and by consistent work carried the ball to M. L.'s 25-yard line, losing the ball but once. Thet with a fake play, Darby carried the ball 25 yards for the first touchdown. He immediately kicked a goal. With seven and a half minutes to play, Rust began her attacks once more and soon had the ball on the 25-yard line when the first quarter ended. In the second quarter neither team made much progress, the ball being in M. L.'s territory most of the time. The first half ended with the ball on M. L.'s 30-yard line. Score Rust 6. M. L. 0.
In the third quarter Rust carried the ball to M. L.'s 50-yard line, and here they lost it on downs. M. L. tried to kick out of danger, as she could do nothing with the strong Rust offense. At this period Sherrill intercepted the kick and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. Darby again kicked goal. Score, Rust 14, M. L. 0, end of third quarter.
In the fourth quarter Rust soon had the ball in M. L.'s territory. By a long run of 30 yards Steele had the ball within 10 yards of a touchdown. Here Rust lost on four downs. M. L. fatted in four attempts and Rust had the ball on the 12-yard line. McEuen made a quarterback run and gained seven yards. With one minute to play and five yards to gain, big Proctor went through tackle for the third touchdown. Darby missed the goal from a sharp angle. The game ended here with Rust triumphant. The stars of the game were Darby at quarter, Stemms and J. M. Scott, ends, Steele and Williams backs.
MOREHOUSE, 98: CLARK UNIVERSITY, 0.
Morehouse College, formerly Atlanta Baptist College, last year's undisputed football champion of the South, played her second game of the season on the Morehouse Campus Saturday, October 25, defeating Clark University 98 to 0. In doing this Morehouse set up a new record of scores among Negro colleges, going beyond her own record of 87 to 0 made last year against Morris Brown. Morehouse's terrific play completely overwhelmed the Clark boys, scoring at will, making a forward pass or an end run or a dash through the line as suited her pleasure. Brock, the regular quarter, was back in the game. Weaver, the star left end, in the last quarter, made a run of seventy yards. It is unfair, however, to specify particular Morehouse players. The whole aggregation had struck its accustomed stride, and showed most unusual skill in interference. Morehouse's next game is at Talladaga, October 31.
Gradually the eleven is rounding into form for its great rivals, Fisk and Tuskegee. It is to be regretted that on account of the great distance between Washington and Atlanta negotiations for a game this year between this brilliant eleven and that of Howard were not successful. Each one of these schools seems to set the pace in its respective section, and until the two teams can meet the ultimate championship must always remain in doubt.

In answer to the attack on the morality and decency of the people the body of the coloured people are the only ones born without it if Bishops Gailor and Nelson could see the men who were encouraged and taken care of women of his race and of the houses of order protected by them and infested by him he would perhaps be very uncomfortable. The women of his race were the only ones hold of them. In scathing terms he admitted the selection of this service as one such our parishes had been carefully preparing for as the occasion to hurt a brutal result at the people who had been invited, were to be found in the streets, were more honorable and virtuous women, being none, than the women of the Negro race the vector declared.
The friends and members of the parish are reminded of the harvest festival and fair to treat during the week of November 10. All are invited and are assured of a welcome.

Fighters of "Jim Crowism" Want Aid. Special to TU New York Acct.
Oklahoma City, Oct. 28.—The Constitutional League of Oklahoma, with William Harrison of Oklahoma City as its leading attorney, is contesting with vigor the "Jim Crow Law" of Oklahoma. He will, the last of November December, bring before the United States Supreme Court the case of McCabe, et al. vs. The Ackerson, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co., et al. It is said that the Oklahoma case is the best prepared of its kind, of any case yet put before the United States Supreme Court, and that it will now have to meet the issue squarely. There is one feature of this case that will be settled which will effect all of the Negroes in the United States and that is the Interstate Passenger Law. If the Oklahomaians succeed it will put to al "Jim Crowism" so far as interstate passengers are concerned. They will not then be subject to the intra-state passenger laws of the South.
An appeal is made to every liberty loving woman, man and friend of the Negro race in this country to make a contribution to the expense of fighting this case. Oklahoma Negroes think it is high time, if Negroes want liberty, that they be willing to pay something toward it. A few race loving men and women in the Oklahoma League, led by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Washington, D.C., have made great sacrifice to bring the case through lower courts to its present stage and Mr. Harrison has practically given his service for nothing. Those interested are asked to send at least 11. All contributions to be sent to Rev. W. H. Pernightt D.D. (420 Q Street, N. W., Washington, D.C., who will receive you for the same.
TWO BRANCHES
TO GET $250,000
(Sentenced from page 14)
the association work. They are to be rewarded for their unremitting endeavor by seeing the women under their charge established in a position of comfort such as they have desired these many months. In Mr. Bell the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A has a faithful secretary. Secretary Bell is recognized throughout the city as an honorable representative of his grace. He has been encouraged generously by Henry M. Orne, general secretary of the New York City Association, and he has met that encouragement with consistent effort for the betterment of his brethren that has commanded the admiration of his acquaintances.
The colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. will have a building which is to cost $150,000 in addition to the $35,000 at which its present home is valued; and which promises to be one of the most thoroughly equipped branches of the association anywhere in the country. T. J. Bell and his assistant, Elsie Elmendorf, look forward eagerly to the day when they shall be able to welcome the colored young men and boys of New York to a building calculated to stir the ambition of every member.
Raised $1,000,000 Since 1911.
The million raised by Dr. Moorland since January 1, 1911, came only in part from the whites. A third of that amount was raised among colored persons. Colored men and women in all parts of the country gave generously to the cause of the colored Y. M. C. A. and it would be singular if those in New York should be found wanting when the opportunity is given to them, as it is to-day, to do their share in providing better accommodations for Christian work among the women and men of their own race.
In this movement, with the united interests of all the pastors and churches and those outside the church, success is assured. The splendid leadership of the committee of management, with Dr. E. P. Roberts at the head of the men and Mrs. R. C. Ransom leading the women, give further certainty that the faithfulness of a host of persistent persons will be rewarded. Vigorous work is being done by G. W. Allen, vicechairman of the Colored Men's Association, and Mrs. Helen Curtis, vicechairman of the women.
The building fund campaign was announced formally to the colored persons of this city at a meeting in the Abyssinian Baptist Church, West 40th street, Sunday afternoon, under the joint auspices of the two colored branches. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell
