FUSION WINS A BIG VICTORY
Tammany Hall Decisively Defeated at the Polls at Tuesday's Election
Prendergast and McAnery Elected and Fusion Will Have a Majority on the Board of Aldermen.
NEXT ASSEMBLY REPUBLCAN
Sulzer Elected Assemblyman from Smith Manhattan District—Republican Judges Elected to Court of Appeals.
Tammany Hall was completely snowed under in the Greater New York Mayoralty election Tuesday. John Purry Mitchel, who headed the Fusion ticket, carried all the boroughs and defeated Edward Everett McCall, Tammany's candidate, by a plurality of 12,000.
William A. Pregendergast, Fusion, defeated Herman Metz for Controller in the closest contest of the day. Pregendergast's plurality is placed at 39,000.
It is estimated that George McAneny, Fusion, was chosen President of the Board of Aldermen for Joseph A. Goldew, 19,000, Marcus M. Marks, Fusion, was elected Borough President of Manhattan, Lewis H. Pounds, Fusion, was elected President of the Borough of Brooklyn, and Douglas Mathewson, Fusion, was chosen President of the Bronx.
All other county offices were captured by Fusion.
Fusion has a majority in the Board of Aldermen. Charles S. Whitman, Fusion and Tammany candidate for District Attorney, gave a candidate in New York County.
Judge William E. Werner, Republican, has been elected Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, and Frank Hiscock, Republican, a member of the Court of Appeals, by good-sized pluralities. The next Assembly will be Republican. It will be composed of seventy-night Republican, thirty-six Democrats, four Progressives, seventeen Progressives with Republican indorsement, and eleven Progressives with Democratic indorsements. The Republicans will have no difficulty in selecting their choice for governor. Brandon furnished the greatest pluralities for Louisiana, Mitchell's plurality in the state, being 60,000. William Sullivan the deposed Governor of the State of New York says he has been sent and by being sent back to the Assembly from the Sixth Manhattan District where he started political life a quarter of a century ago. He received a large plurality. For the first time since the consolidation Tammy will be without direct representation in the Board of Estimate. The Board of Estimate will miss the event spent in this city. Not since the days of the late Mayor Strong, when Manhattan and the Bronx made up New York City, has Tammy been so completely eliminated from control of the municipal government.
WILL BE MAYOR
OF ALL THE PEOPLE.
John Rovit Murray, Mayor-elect of New York, as soon as he was assured of his victory, issued this statement Tuesday night:
"The sincere personal gratification I feel is tempered by my sense of deep responsibility to my fellow citizens. This is not a personal triumph but a victory for the cause of good government. I shall be Mayor for all the people of New York and not for any faction, division or party. I have been a member of that is made New York City and best governed municipality in America.
"To Judge McCall I extend my sincere personal greetings. He has reaped the whirlwind and suffered the consequences of the indiscrede conditions of a corrupt machine and leadership. The campaign and its incidents are now historical and as Mayor I shall invite the corporation of Judge McCall as Chairman of the Public Service Commission in carrying out the plans for rapid transit in the city.
"To every man who as officer, soldier in the ranks of citizen has given of his heart and service to this fight I express the warmest gratitude. But the for good government has just begun and I ask for the militant cooperation of every citizen for its complete accomplishment.
"JOHN PURROY MITCHEL."

SULZER ENTHUSES OVER THE DEFEAT OF MURPHY.
In speaking of the defeat of Tammany Hall and Murphy ex-Gov William Sulzer gave out the following interview:
"Practically from the time I became Governor I fought Murphyism, perhaps not wisely from the viewpoint of the practical politician, but as well as I could, and, thank God, Murphyism is dead. The Chief's puppet candidates are beaten. Tammany is toterting under the weight of Murphyism, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I struck the abhorrent thing and the threatening menace the hardest blow it has received since the days of Tweed.
"My success is gratifying. Sometimes the victim becomes the victor.
"All the money Tammany sent in the district, all the thugs and guerillas and repeaters Tammany directed to the district to bribe and to terrorize the voters, and to stuff the ballot boxes, were impotent to accomplish my defeat. I won because the people had faith in William Sulzer.
"The voters have now condemned Mr. Murphy, reversed the judgment of his High Court of Impeachment, and vindicated me by the verdict of the polls, which in the last analysis is the opinion of mankind.
"No words of mine can tell my old friends, my old neighbors, and my old constituents how deeply I appreciate their unwary loyalty to me. I thank them from the bottom of my heart, each and every one, and promise that I shall represent them in Albany honestly and fearlessly, faithfully and independently.
"My removal from the Governorship by an ignorant, and a corrupt and an arrogant Boss, whose dictates to do wrong I defied, has been the means of destroying Bossism in the State of New York. My myself with the reflection that I was able to accomplish more out of office than all the Governors in the last decade could accomplish in office.
"In stealing my office 'the Chief went too far, and the voters have administered to him the most stinging rebuke of which they were capable. In the theft of the Governorship Murphy decreed his own destruction."
REPUBLICANS WIN
IN PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. The Republican organization elected the county city ticket and nine Municipal Court Judges by majorities ranging from 30,000 to 42,000. The Republican candidates on the county ticket are: District Attorney, Samuel P. Rotan, Register of Wills James B Sheehan, City Treasurer, William Meacha, Receiver of Taxes, W. F. Freeland Kendrick. The Washington and Democratic parties combined on a Fusion ticket led by George Wentworth Carr for District Attorney; and conducted a furious attack upon the Republican government, who held the control of the City Councils and county offices by McNeil and Vacc. The Fusion cause was materially weakened by the reinsul of the Keystone party, of which D. Clarence Gibboney is leader, to close with the Washington and Democratic parties. Gibboney refused to enter the collision because the Keystone party, a purely municipal organization, was not recognized on the county ticket. The Republicans made their campaign on the Blankenkent administration with nothing of value in the two years of its career. Two years ago the Mayor was elected by a majority of 4,000. The salons, gambling houses, and associated resorts united against the Fusion ticket. The Negro section, the tenderman and river districts rolled up a large vote against the Blankenkent ticket.
REPUBLICANS HAVE
REGAINED CINCINNATI
Special to the New York Age
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 4.—The entire Republican ticket, headed by Frederick S. Spiegel for Mayor, won a victory in Tuesday's election over Mayor Henry T. Hunt, Democrat. The Democrat defeated in their own strengthens. Their defeat is laid by them at the door of three factions, which dissatisfied with the present administration, worked tooth and nail against. At least three out of the four candidates for Municipal Court Judges, on the Republican ticket, have won. The race for Superior Court Judge is close between Juddley V. Sutphin, Republican, and Stanley Merrill, Democrat, and it is believed the official vote will be necessary to decide this contest.

ACTIVE WORKERS OF JOINT CAMPAIGN MEET
The approaching joint financial campaign under the auspices of the Colored Men's Branch and Colored I Women's Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association is rapidly becoming a civic affair. People from all walks of life, residents of this city, are rapidly becoming imbued with the spirit and are not only talking and praying but earnestly planning to work for the success of this the most important step ever accomplished in our community.
All during the past week, Y. M. C. A. headquarters at 252 W. 53d street has been visited by hosts of visitors coming in groups, such as the conference of the captains held last Saturday night, when Secretary Moorland partially laid out measures to be pursued in the campaign. Stereoptic pictures, showing in most convincing manner the growth and development of Y. M. C. A. work since the magnificent offer made by Julius N. Rosenwald, were thrown on the screen and thoroughly explained by Mr. Moorland. Refreshments were served.
The active workers assembled that evening included Mesdames Sadis Battle Ella Dawes, Dr. Gerritrue Curtis-Mepherson, J. W. Brown, Catherine B. Lewis, Dora Cole Norman, J. C. Thomas and Miss Rosa E. Harper of the Colored Women's Branch, and Messrs. C. C. Allison, Jr., William Brown, W. J. Green, J. Edward Harrison, Dr. G. Henderson, Lloyd Johnson, Henry C. Parker, Richard H. Ragasdow, Edward V. Williams, I. L. Curtis, R. Justice, C. H. Tibba, A. D. represented by co-workers. Many other quests both members of the associations and citizens drawn in through the influence of meetings and advertising have applied to this busy man for individual adjustment. The last report of the above named captains found them nearly ready to begin work with teams fully completed.
Joint Meetings Very Helpful.
In meetings of the Executive Committee headed by Dr. E. P. Roberts, the Colored Men's Branch, and Mrs. R. C. Ransom of the Women's Branch have been fully attended, although held sometimes more than twice a week and necessitating the laying aside of other important matters. In no measure has any joint meeting of theanches ever downed more to remit the losses of the workers than the one held Sunday afternoon at M. Olivet Baptist Church. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Alaskian Baptist Church, was first speaker His remarks were timely, forceful and eloquent and were received with marked enthusiasm. He was followed by Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who spoke in regular W. Y. C. a spirit. Miss E. Bowles, National Secretary of the Colored Work in cities, and Mrs. R. C. Ransom chairman of the Colored Women's Branch, W. Y. C. a spirit. Mrs. R. C. Ransom brought home to his listener the fine points of the speakers. Many of the captains, both men and women were present and were introduced to the audience.
At the Young Women's Branch there was held Wednesday evening and at the Young Men's Branch on Thursday will be held evening prayer services for the success of the general campaign. The colored people are a real part of this campaign and their work will be recorded on the monster clock which is to show the rate at which the contributions come into the campaign fund. This clock will have amounts instead of money in its dollars will instead of from all parts of the city owing not only to the fact that it is to be much larger than the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's own clock but also that it will be placed high on the Metropolitan Tower above the regular clock.
ROYALL GETS FIVE-SIXTHS OF VOTE IN 8 DISTRICTS.
Although John M. Royall was defeated in his race for Alderman from the 21st Aldermann District, according to the returns up to Wednesday noon, the vote for him in six election districts populated largely by Progress showed a pre-pandemic rise in his favor. The six districts referred to showed a total vote of about 1,500.
Of this vote the county shows that Mr. Royal received about 1,500, or five-sixths of the total number cast. About three hundred of them were invalidated for various reasons, having a net vote of 1,250.

Mr. Archer has been a resident of Battersea since the last eight years being engaged in the photographic business. He is very popular, and the indications are that he will be elected. His wife is a colored woman
10TH CAVALRY ORDERED
TO MEXICAN BORDER
Special to The New York Am.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 5.—The War Department has made an important announcement of changes in stations of cavalry commands, involving the relief of two regiments on the Mexican border, and contained in this announcement is the information that a cavalry instruction case will be established and maintained near Winchester, Va., next summer. The 10th Cavalry goes from Fort Eathan Al-Val, vt., to Arizona for duty on the border with the 10th Cavalry for his relieving the 5th Cavalry, which will take station at Fort Eathan Allen. The 15th Cavalry, the three squadrons of which now are stationed at Fort Myer, Va.; Fort Sheridan, II, and Fort Leavenworth, Kan., will relieve the 2d Cavalry at Fort Bitts, Texas, and in New Mexico, for patrol duty along the border. These changes of station were decided upon, owing to the fact that the 2d and 5th regiments, to be brought to eastern stations from aridious service along the Mexican border, have had the longest foreign and tropical service in Cuba, the Philippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii. It is also desired to station these regiments in higher altitudes, so that the officers and enlisted men may get into better physical condition.
BIG DEMONSTRATION AT SELMA FOR WASHINGTON.
Selma, Ala., Nov. 3—More than two thousand colored people gathered at the depot here, Friday, October 24, to welcome Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Washington was scheduled to speak in the evening at Selma University and all of the colored schools had been dismissed so that the children could join in the welcome. Farmers and others came from points ten to fifteen miles distant to participate.
It was a notable demonstration of loyalty to the leadership of Dr. Washington exhibited by these people. There were many welcoming banners in the crowd bearing such slogans as "Hail to the Chief," "Welcome to Our Leader," "Cast Down Your Buckets Where You Are," "Make Friends in Every Manly Way With Your White Neighbors," "Get Land," and "Educate Your Children." Some of these mottoes were from Dr. Washington's addresses to colored people in various parts of the South. The enthusiasm of the people was warmly infections and greatly in evidence.
At the meeting at Selma University were Dr. Washington spoke, there were present the Mayor, the City Clerk, the Chief of Police, members of the City Council, members of the City School Board, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, bankers, lawyers, wholesale merchants, ministers and many other white citizens of other occupations and professions with their wives and daughters.
The carriage in which Doctor Washington was to ride through the city was decorated with bunting and a large United States flag and a lithograph of the Tukwecgan. Twenty-five citizens representing all of the professions and occupations, had planned to release the four beautiful horses attached to the carriage and themselves pull the carriage through the streets of this thriving city. Prof. R. B. Hudson, principal of the colored school, assisted by Dr. A. F. Owens, of Selma University, and other important citizens of Selma are responsible for this great demonstration in honor of Dr. Washington.
COMMISSIONERS FUSS AS EXPOSITION CLOSES
Dubois and Carr Principals In The Star Exhibition of Celebration
RUMOR OF $8,000 DEFICIT
From $10,000 to $15,000 Reported to Have Been Taken in for Paid Admission — Donnounce Seating Arrangements.
What was considered by fortunate spectators as the star exhibition of the Emancipation Proclamation Celebration, held from October 22 to 21, inclusive, at the 12th Regiment Armament, is alleged to have occurred during the closing hours of the exposition when Prof. W. E. B. Dubois, referred to as the "master mind" of the commission, and Jas. D. Carr, vice-chairman of the commission, became involved in a heated argument during which the progress of the race at hurling uncomplimentary epithets was shown. Those who were fortunate enough to witness the altercation declare that it was the feature of the exposition. A trouble is said to have started over the failure of William Smith, an exhibitor, to secure necessary light while taking down his exhibit. Smith is said to have appealed to Du Ross, who was not included to accede to the exhibitor's demands. While Smith was telling Du Ross just how much he thought of him Vice-chairman Carr came upon the scene and took sides with Smith. But "the master mind" was obdurate, and when the vice-chairman of the commission found that what he had to say fell on deaf ears he proceeded to call the professor a few names not known to sociology. Luckily, no blows were struck.
Exposition Well Attended in Evening
Although the expoition was well attended during the evenings it is immured that members of the commission claim that the commission faces a defect of $20,000. It is estimated that from $10,000 to $15,000 in paid admissions taken in at the box office while the expoition was open. The amount collected from exhibitors and other sources of revenue has not been made known. When the doors of the expoition were opened it was common talk that the budget exceeded the appropriation between $10,000 and $14,000. An annual commission has been called for this week when financial matters will be taken up and thoroughly discussed. There is report in the press that exhibitors and there is many money left after they finish paying expenses that they will donate the entire amount to various local charities. Much tissue of the seating arrangements for the 12th Regiment Armory during the holding of the expoition many visitors charging that they are entirely dealt with. With all the money left over evening tickets of admissions the seats each and each week were sold to the in-flow where there were fifteen hundred seats, hundreds found that they had to pay extra for chairs, the charges ranging from twenty-five cents for a chair to fifty cents and $1 for a seat in the gallery. This peculiar method of doing business was generally denounced.
It is estimated that less than two hundred white citizens attended the exposition to note the advancement made by the Negro since the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. Astory is being told on one commissioner who wanted the commission pay for his Turkish bath. It is said that although he protested against them being striken from his expensive account the other commissioners halked the sale of the State naval for Turkish bath. Two commissioners are said to be considering the advisability of asking charts, etc. paid for by the people of New York State, and hold expositions showing the progress of the race in other cities of the country.

Mr. Villard declared this speech that while Mr. McAdoo was sincerely in his plan for the register's office he did not realize that it was fraught with more danger than good.

He declared that the Negro administration and those in the military office. Mr. Villard said he wished with all his heart that segregation might prove the truth, and almost ruthless-ike incident the colored people need to argue them to a knowledge of their danger and strength.

MAY DISQUALIFY NEGRO OFFICERS
Board of Examiners to Decide Question at Friday Evening's Meeting
Majority of Officers and Enlisted Men of the Provisional Regiment Say They Will Not Work Under White Officers
Attorney General of State law is asked to interpret New Law Which Provides for Colored Regiment.
"Shall the field officers of the proposed colored regiment be colored of white?" is now a burning question, one which is likely to cause no end of trouble before it has been definitely decided. Col. Nathansel B. Thurston, chairman of the Board of Examiners, has proposed hold the subject of the local and take the subject Friday evening. However, it is generally known that Col. Thurston and the majority of the members of the Board of Examiners favor white field officers.
But if such an unpopular decision is reached the colored citizens of New York are decided not to abide by this adverse ruling but will appeal to Attorney General Carmody for an opinion. When the bill to create a colored regiment of infantry was passed in the Legislature and signed by Gov. Sulzer, the understanding was that the regiment was to be made up of colored men from coloned down. While there are a few colored members of the Provisional Guard, they will serve under white field officers, so long as they get a first or second leuency, the majority of officers and enlisted men declare that before they serve under white officers they will refuse to enlist in the State Militia.
Up to Board of Examiners
From all indications, if the Board of Examiners insist on disqualifying all colored men for colonel and majors an effort will be made by Negro citizens to have the law creating a colored regiment amended to specifically provide for both colored field and line officers. If the legislators refuse to do this prospects of the colored citizens of the State having a colored regiment will appear very bright. The Militarizing laws provides that field officers with the rank of colonel must have a commissioned officer of the National Guard of the State of New York for at least three years prior to his selection for a colonel, and that the Lieut. Colonel and Major must have served two years. However, there is another provision which states that in case of a new organization the Governor may commission all officers necessary to complete the organization. Members of the Provisional Regiment who are opposed to the Colonel's charge, that the Board of Examiners is taking advantage of the situation to disqualify all colored field officers in order to appoint white officers.
Colored citizens first became suspicious that a plan was on foot to appoint white field officers in command of the colored regiment when the Board of Examiners began to examine members of the Provisional Regiment: from the bottom instead of the top. The second lieutenants were first summoned, although it is a rule to start with the colonel. When Col. Thurston and others were spoken to regarding the new method of examination it was given out that such a step had been taken in order to give the field officers a longer time to study.
The law providing for a colored regiment of infantry reads:
Within three months after this section takes effect, the adjutant-general of examination it was given out that such a step had been taken in order to give the field officers a longer time to study.
Such regiment when organized and equipped shall become a part of the national guard of the State of New York, and subject to all the statutes, rules and regulations of such national guard. The officers of such regiment shall be commissioned by the governor, subject to the provisions of this chapter, in relation to eligibility and examination. The army board of the city of New York provides quarters for such regiment.
This set shall take effect immediately.
Regiment Was to Have Been Recruited by Companies.
When Gov. Sulzer signed the bill providing for a colored regiment it was with the understanding that the entire regiment was not to be recruited at the company by company. And although the plan of organizing the new regiment was being followed out along these lines the Examining Board is taking steps to recruit the entire regiment at all. The members of the Board of Examiners are Col. Nathaniel B. Thurston, president Col. Frank H. Norton, Col. George A. Wingate, Lieut. Col. Louis

In receiving word to appear before the Board of Examiners each colored applicant who desires to be appointed a staff officer is informed that he must furnish three letters as to his moral and intellectual status, his sobriety and relative to his financial standing. Col. Charles W. Fillmore of the Provisional Regiment, who has been one of the prime movers in getting a fill passed to create a colored regiment of infantry, when seen by a representative of The Aux. admitted that there was some talk of disqualifying colored field officers, but he was reluctant about talking on the subject, preferring to wait until after the decision of the Board of Examiners Friday evening. He admitted, however, that prospects of his appointment as colonel of the new regiment were not as bright as a few weeks ago.
Charles W. Fillmore was enlisted as a marker in the Duquesne Blues of the Ohio National Guard January 20, 1899 and was honorably discharged January 20, 1884, when his term of enlistment expired. Re-enlisted in the Bushnell Guard April 4, 1884, and was discharged January 17 as a sergeant.

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.

THE REVELATION OF BLACK
: SHEAR.
The world never gets weary of running after revelations and studying the alpha and omega of revelators and healers of all kinds, from corn doctors, called chirpiodists, to spiritual mystics, called medians, whether the oracle be Photo or Henry Rochelorte, Bacon or Henry Laborchere, John Alexander Downe or Madame Blawatsky, Dr Sopeater or Mrs. Treadacey. What the befuddled disciple is hunting for is light on everything that confuses him and he blindly rushes out of his own darkness into the darkness of others to find it. Those who cannot see for themselves, and fall into their own stime pits make believe that they can see for others, who have slime pits at their own and will fall into them when they get to them, and great doctors who cannot heal themselves and die of too much eating and drinking of indigestibles claim they can heal others, and do when they do—all for a price, ranging from twenty-five cents to a missionary's rawn from a desert bandit chief. All the world runs after something new, as the old Greeks did, in slit skirts or in philosophy of the which and the why and find nothing, but the confusion of wisdom and demoralization of ignorance.
The abandoned farms of the South and of New England, about which so much is written, tell the same story, which applies equally to the small workman and tradesman of the rural districts; their sons and daughters tire of the steady drudgery and deadly monotony of work with the hands in a small way in country districts and go to the big cities for change of scene and work, and too often find both in stagnation or slow death, because the big city takes them and eats them up. That is what big cities have always been made for and remorselessly done, and are doing. We conclude then:
1. We should expect better things of President Eliot than that "poverty is a far safer moral condition than inordinate wealth" by which he must mean the swollen fortunes of individuals and the nation. He ignores the accepted fact that poverty is the prime breeder of ignorance, fifth and crime, and would have us look for these in the palaces on Murray Hill rather than in the congested tenements of the East Side and San Juan Hill districts, and in the poverty of Mexico, Cuba and Haiti rather than in the abundant wealth of the United States and of Canada. It is not reasonable to do any such thing, any more than it would be to assert that the ignorance and poverty of South Carolina make for a "safer moral condition" than the high intelligence and mordinate wealth of Massachusetts. A nation can never be too wealthy, any more than can an individual; but both can easily be too poor. A wealthy nation, as well as individual, not wise enough to protect itself from the vices of wealth will soon eat itself up, as Rome and Greece and their wealthier citizens did. Rome is a desolation and the Gardens of Lucullus are a pasture for cattle.
2. The doctrine so much hammered into him that "the Negro who is ashamed to labor with pick and shovel is generally identified with the loafing and criminal classes" is a brazen falsehood, proved to be so by the gentleman who first thought it and then wrote if with a pen and not with a pick and shovel. We are not ashamed to labor with pick and shovel, but we prefer to labor with a pen or typewriter, as being more congenial and profitable, and should not abandon them for the pick and shovel unless driven to do it by necessity. There are plenty of men who prefer the pick and shovel to the pen or typewriter, because they understand the use of the former and have no inclination or aptitude to learn the use of the latter, or to employ them in their business, if they have learned how to use them.
As it is with the common sort who are troubled with pain, familiar spirits and visions, so it is with the uncommon sort, who can solve everything in religion, politics, economics and anthropology, and who have a multitude of followers. But the solvers of the bread and butter and the race problems are the most numerous and preexistent in the land. They know it all—everything—from Mt. Ararat of old to Mt. Araasson of the present. For instance in a long article in the Houston (Tex.) Daily Chronicle Prof. F. L. Blackshear principal of the Normal School at Prairie, has revealed to us and the white people that "American slavery of African blacks was the greatest, most efficient industrial training any primitive race ever received;" that "Southern slavery was by no means the lardarous cruel system, on the whole, it is often represented to have been," and that "the old masters, a wise generation of men a noble race, indeed, had a better group of the Negro question than their posterity of to-day." He rewrites, further, as far as the War Amendments to the Federal Constitution are concerned that:
3. Human society, in its division of occupations, is paternal after the human body so minutely described by Paul the Apostle in First Corinthians (12:14-21.); "For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, 'Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body'; it is therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, 'Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body'; it is not therefore of the body? If the whole body, were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now they are many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the feet, I have no need of you."
4. So in human society: the president and the messenger, the manufacturer and the operative, the master builder and his workman—they are not in the same class, but each is necessary to the other, and has peculiar rights in his own station which the other may not infringe without being called legally to account. To say that the messenger is above the president, the operative above the manufacturer and the workman above the master builder would be on a par with the doctrine that the men who plan and direct the world's work, and provide the money to pay for it, are "loafers and criminals," beneath the men under them with pick and shovel who come and go, as machines move, automatically, as they are directed. Our nation and its industrialism in all directions are honey-combed and weakened by the exaltation of labor, brawn and muscle over brains and capital.
5. While attending a national convention at Indianapolis in 1888, and standing on the corner of Hendrick's Hall with a group of delegates, an aged Negro of the pick and shovel class approached and said he desired to ask a question. He was told to ask it, and got the answer in courteous phrase. "Now, gentlemen," he said, striking an I-am-going-to-stay attitude. "I want terat argy dat question wid yer." "No you don't!" snapped the spokesman. "You asked your question and got your answer, and I don't need your argument." The disposition of those of the "pick and shovel" to argue, to dispute, to contradict those who own the "pick and shovel" is ruining the labor opportunities of Negroes in all parts of the country and in all lines of industry. And even in great conventions, as well as small debating bodies, the oldest and most ignorant or the youngest and most impudent Negro present has the most to stay and gets the largest space in the daily newspapers as "speaking the highest and best thought of the Negro race." This should not be. Each member has his part to do, and is best fitted to do it when he sticks closest to his part. Each in his place should be encouraged to do that and sternly reuked when he undertakes to do the part of some one else. "Get the behind me Satan," said the Master, who I now more about his own job than did Satan. The main with the pick and shovel is not the biggest thing in the life of the nation nor in the life of the Negro people.
The Negro of today understands well that the people of the South will not tolerate Negro rule.
The earlier bigroos imagined that Congress could and would enforce "Civil Rights," as they were called, when a useless "Civil Rights bill" was enacted to compel managers of the剧院, restaurants and hotels to give Negroes not merely accommodations, but equal accommodations. The Negro people of today recognize that legislation by Congress could never have enforced such a law upon white people. The supreme court declared this bill unconstitutional.
The earlier Negroes imagined that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments were like the actions of Shal that would take them into a "promised land," politically speaking, to be freed from the grasp of "10 acres and a mule." But the Negro of today understands well that these amendments are incapable of enforcement and anything of them, knowing that they are "dead letters," and knowing that local sentiment is the supreme law in America, as it determines just what laws shall be enforced and what shall not be enforced.

We live in times when labor with the hands. "The man with the hand" is Edward Markham has glorified him in blank verse, has been so emblazed by the laborer himself, and by those who make profit of him by "bending the supplies hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning," that those who do not labor with the hands as manual laborers, but with their brain, and who make employment for those who do, are looked down upon on the public highways, hoooted at the polling places and dictated to in high-handed fashion in their own business, whether as manufacturers, master builders or ordinary employers in ordinary affairs. The labor council and the walking delegate, who do no manual labor, have become greater powers in our industrialism and politics than the man who holds the contract and the check book. The exaltation of labor is complete in this country and Europe; that is, organized labor, which does not generally recognize nor permit the Negro to affiliate and work with its membership on equal terms. It may become better in this respect; we hope so. It can hardly become worse.
How, then, can He be God of the Southern whites and those of the nation who are denying the faith delivered to them by Paul of Benjamin? Who is the God of that faith who has ruled mankind with the sword and plagues of the Lord? Prof. Blackshear evidently does not know, and the white Christians of Texas and the South are not trying in the right way to find out. We have not been comforted nor edited by "the revelation of Blackshear." He has weakened rather than strengthened the hands of the race in the fierce conflict for a square deal as coqual American citizens that rages around him all over the nation and in all avenues of human thought and effort.
Dr. Charles W. Elliot, the President Emeritus of Harvard, in the current number of the Harvard Theological Review, takes the position that poverty is preferable to inordinate wealth as a safe moral condition, and that low wages are not responsible for immorality. What he really says is as follows:
One declaration as to what churches must stand for exhibits a strong tendency to attribute the moral evils in the community to poverty. One reads frequently in the public prints that the cause of prostitution is the failure of employers to pay young women what is called a "living wage." Must the churches stand for that doctrine? It seems to me a demoralizing and degrading doctrine in all its implications. To my thinking, poverty is a far safer moral condition than inordinate wealth.
In the same strain we find the following going the rounds of the Negro press, without attribution of legitimate parentage; but cornered for this exposition from the Twin City Star, that "the Negro who is ashamed to labor with pick and shovel is generally identified with the loaming and criminal classes." In the editorial department of the Southern Workman for October we find the following conclusion on what was said and proven at the Philadelphia meeting of the Business League, in August last: "When unlettered Negroes can win the success recorded of a few of them, then men may be hopeful in spite of perplexing problems of race adjustment and changing economic conditions." This conclusion is based upon "little stories of success" told at the Business League meeting by men of the hard-working class, the grubbers, the plodders, who among all races save more in a small way by self-denial than their children usually keep and increase by proper appreciation of it and wise additions to it. Dr. Washington explains this, in some sort, in his article on "The Negro and the Labor Unions," published in The Atlantic Monthly for June last, when he says, in the introduction:
PRESIDENT WILSON IN THE SOUTH.
It was natural that President Wilson should have an ovation all along the way from Washington to Mobile, where he went to attend the Southern Commercial Congress, October 27, as he is the first Southern man since the war cept Andrew Johnson, to be President. The President expressed the truth when he declared at Salisbury, "It's like coming home." Every American citizen should be in position to rejoice with the President, not only in the South, but in any section of the country he should find himself, and the President should feel like "coming home" in going through Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania, as well as Chancellorsville, in Virginia, in one section of the country as well as another. The President of all of the people would feel that way, but a President of some of the people would not. President Wilson has himself to blame for being a President of some of the people, mostly Southern white people, rather than the President of all the people.
When the Negro boy from the Southern States leaves the plantation or the farm and goes up to the city, it is not work, in many cases, that he is looking for. He has labored in the field, beside his father and his mother, since he was old enough to hold a boe, and he has never known the time when he, and every other member of the family, could not find all the work they needed and more than they wanted. The one thing of which he has always had plenty at home has been work. It is very likely that a promise that he would earn more and do less has turned his step from the farm; but at bottom it is not the search for easier work or higher wages that brings the country boy to town; it is the natural human desire to see a little more of the place he has heard of over yonder, beyond the horizon—the City.
The thing that takes the country boy to the city, in short; is the desire to learn something, either through books and in school, or in actual contact with daily life, about the world in which he finds himself. One of and more surprising things the country boy has done is always to hold that it is something a man has to go out and look for. Another thing he very soon learns in that there is a great deal of difference between skilled and unskilled labor, and that the man who has learned to do some one thing well, no matter how small it may be, is looked upon with a certain respect, whether he has a white skin or a black skin; while the man who has never learned to do anything well simply does not count in the industrial world.
It is the misfortune of most Southern Statesmen that they are always Southern men, and rarely men of the nation; that they are narrow instead of broad in their statesmanship.
In his address at Mobile the President launched into prophecy, which is always dangerous to be done by those who are no prophets, when he declared that "the United States will never again seek one additional foot of territory by conquest." How can he know that? The United States has done so many unexpected things in the past fifty years among them the electing of Gov. Wilson to be President by the popular vote of 40 of the 48 States, that only a real prophet could predict what it will do in the next fifty years. In the light of all the facts as he has helped to make them since last March, how could President Wilson pronounce the following grand sentiment:
This is not America because it is rich. This is not America because it has set up for a great population great opportunities of material prosperity. America is a name which sounds in the ears of man everywhere as a synonym of individual opportunity, as a synonym of individual liberty. I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty. But we shall not be poor if we believe that liberty truly sets every man free to do his best and he his best; and that means the release of all the splendid energies of a great people who think for themselves.
"Individual liberty" and a policy of segregating, "Jim-Crowning," one-tenth of the national citizenship, such as the President sanctions by his silence, if not by his initiative, do not work together well now and will not do so in the future. And how long will America "sound in the ears of man everywhere as a synonym of opportunity, as a synonym of individual liberty," if the policy of race segregation instituted and enforced by the Southern States and adopted by President Wilson's administration in the Federal public service becomes a fixed national policy? Already the race line is drawn by the United States against the Chinese, Japanese and Hinduse, and much contempt is being developed against the vast mixed population of Latin America.
The races who constitute the mixed multitude—the Latin Americans, Latin Europeans, mixed Asiatics and mixed Africans—are a majority of the world's population. To draw the race line on the one sort will ultimately include them all, and when that shall be done, if it ever is done, there will be more trouble in the world for the nations that develop it and stand for it than there was from the fall of Babylon to the rise of Rome, or from the fall of Rome to the rise of Europe.
Editor Charles Sumner Smith of the Twin City Star, published near by the biggest flour mills in the world and the seductive Falls of Minneapolis, has posed to despise the day of small things. He says, Charles Sumner Smith: "Two Negro appointments have been made by President Wilson and I have been asked to have much to be thankful for, even under this administration." Roddenberry was one of the Georgia scamps in Congress who spent his time and energy making things in the Negro's sensitive feelings. How does he feel about it now?
These pages have been but three or
eight Old Street, Philadelphia, Tuesday,
October 28, but we find no mention of
them in the Christian Recorder of
October 30, although they happened within
the very body of that official organ of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, nor in the Philadelphia Tribune,
published nine blocks away, November 1. What did happen we find published in the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger of November 1, and we reproduce it on another page of Tithe Aeg, under the heading, "Hot Times in Bethel."
The dismissal of Editor Wright and Manager Lowe of the Book Concern by the Board of Publication, "for moral delinquencies and disobedience of church law," was foreshadowed by Tina Ace of October 23, in its leading editorial, headed "Drunkenness in the Church." To dismiss Manager Lowe for alleged drunkenness, which he seems not to have disproved, will appear to the public as just enough, but to dismiss Editor Wright for exposing the alleged drunkard as the shortest way to get rid of the scandalous condition that has existed in the Book Concern the past year, will appear on the other hand, as unfair. If at any time during the past year the Board of Publication had compelled Dr. Lowe to attend to his business as publisher of the Christian Recorder and to leave Dr. Wright alone to attend to his duties as editor, the latter would not have been constrained to publish the facts, as he has done.
Where two persons have divided powers in the same business there will always be trouble, if not a grand smash up, when they do not respect, but encoach each other's powers.
PRESIDENT WILSON ON SELF-
GOVERNMENT.
A few days ago in an address at Swarthmore President Wilson uttered the following pregnant sentences:
"But the extent of the American conquest is not what gives America distinction in the annals of the world. It is the professed purpose of the conquest, which was to see to it that every foot of that land should be the home of free, self-governed people, who should have no government whatever which did not rest upon the consent of the governed. I would like to believe that all this hemisphere is devoted to the same sacred purpose, and that nowhere can any government endure which is stained by blood or supported by anything but the consent of the governed."
We wonder if President Wilson really means what he says, or if this is mere rhetoric? Does President Wilson mean to apply this doctrine to ten millions of people in his own country who have black skins? Does President Wilson mean that the black people who are in the majority in Mississippi and South Carolina, for example, shall have self-government, or does President Wilson mean that only white men come under the head of the "consent of the governed?" We should like to know exactly what the President means.
EDITOR DE BOW'S PROGRAM.
Here is a big program the Seattle Searchlight promulgates as the work on the Negro editors: "The undesirable must be held in check; the false leader must be placed in his true light; the hypocrites in our churches must be rooted out; the impostors that assume to be leaders of our fraternal organizations must be dehroned." What time the editor has set aside in which to give the news, "catch the manners living as they rise," with wise and otherwise editorial discussion, is not stated.
It is the business of the police to keep "the undesirables" in check; "false leaders" represent those who believe in and follow them, and they usually carry with them "the true light" that exposes them to condemnation; it is the business of church boards to look out for their hypocrites, and, like our fraternal organizations, if they don't do it the hypocrites finally capture and rule things. This has been peculiarly true in our church and fraternal bodies the past eight years. The Ace will continue to give the news and discuss it when it should be discussed without fear or favor, and leave it to constituted bodies to purge themselves.
EDITORIAL NOTES
Col. Roosevelt is having the time of his life in South America. One of the most picturesque and enduring things about Col. Roosevelt is that wherever he is he is sure to have the time of his life.
The Christian Recorder says "maving is mighty good habit. Once you get into it you will along itself. It supplies a friend when in needs." So it is; it does it; but a person must be born with it. It is very difficult to acquire by self-education if the person does not naturally incline to it. However, those who have not it should strive to get it. Most people who have a dollar in their pockets are miserable until they spend it usually for something they do well, and then find after that they need it badly for something they must have. People spend a great deal for things they do not need.
THE
MISSING
MAN
The veteran editor, will deliver a series of lectures during November in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina on "The Black Man's Burden."
Pierre Lott, the famous French writer, who says New York's broadway has "too many colored people" on it, may have to fight a duel with a Bulgarian officer, because it is alleged, he slandered the Bulgarian army in defending the Turks with his pen during the late war. Those who slander others are sometimes called to account for doing it.
It is a safe course to forget people who do not remember you. "Joe" fear of Moldova N.C., who says "I am an old slave-time darkey," has sent President Wilson a fat "possum to go with a big, potato some one else had sent him." "Poor Joe," "the old slave-time darkey," and "the possum and the tater"—what a world of agony" their dead past recalls?
Beer drinkers will be interested in the fact that Adolphus Busch, the St. Louis brewer, who died recently, left a fortune of $50,000,000. He also left seven children, two sons and five daughters. He drinking, it is said, is going out of fashion in Germany, its home place, the Kaiser himself having got on the water wagon, but the use of it is growing in other countries, notably in India.
President Wilson has appointed five native Filipinos and the Senate has confirmed them on the Philippine Commission, thus giving the natives a control with the veto power in the American Governor-General. The Richmond Plane is generous enough to think this "high ground," and asks, "Why should he take low ground in dealing with the citizens of color in this country?" Why? Saith the old proverb for answer, "Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad."
Talking about the currency bill, long pending in Congress, and of the soundness of which the best financiers are not agreed, the Philadelphia Tribune says President Wilson favors it because it is "unsound in theory," and because "throughout all the ages, democrats have been famed for favoring unsound doctrines." What the monarch has done is dark, have no record of, but we imagine they were doing the unsound things they have always done in the light. Funny, those in this country never learn any thing new or forget anything old.
In his annual report to the trustees of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Washington says that the Institute spent $88,14 less the past year than estimated for the first time since the Budget System was adopted. The Budget for 1913-14 calls for an expenditure of $30,000 less than last year. This has been made possible by "close searching into the expense account and by larger returns from the farm's products. There were enrolled the past year 1,618 students from 33 states and 15 foreign countries; 219 pupils in Children's House; 300 teachers in the Summer School and 252 persons in the Winter Farmers' Short Course. Total enrollment, 2,137. Dr. Washington, in his report takes a most hopeful view of the future educational work in the South.

BRUNSWICK GA
BRENNICK, Ga. Nov. 14. The faculty of St. Athanasius' Episcopal School give a Halloween party and masquerade at the school memorial hall Friday, October 11. Wise C. R. Cole, of New York, who is the physical training teacher, was in charge. The program was interesting and short. It was as follows: "Value Caprice," duet, Misses I. Hurley of Charleston, S. C., and H. E. MacCarthy, Albany, Ga.; "Origin of Holloween," Miss H. Williams, Charleston; piano solo, "Will o' Wisp," Mrs. E. Gouch, Oberlin, Ohio; "The Minnette," dance the athletic association; vocal solo, "Lil Gal," Miss Sadie Conyers, Charleston, S. C.; "The Highland Schottische," the athletic association. Two pound cakes were offered as prizes by W. A. Perry, principal of St. Athanasius School, to the person wearing the most characteristic "costume frost," MacCarthy, as "Sister Mary." received Mady's prize and Dr. I. E. Nash, who was a cousin of the mannish daught, received the woman's prize. The street walk price was won by W. G. Green and I. D. Du Pignon.
The hall, which was artistically decorated by the high school boys in pines, salamanders, stay moss and pumplins, was crowded to its capacity. The refreshments (everything, from corn bread to ice cream) were prepared by the domestic science department; Miss Delaney, of Ryleigh, teacher, instructed, and a gentle officer, passing through the bug hole, the auction salesroom and dancing to their hearts' content, the numerous fun-seekers retired.
(From the Baltimore Afro-Ledger.)
Philadelphia, Oct. 30.—Moral delinquencies, as well as disobedience of the law of the A. M. E. Church were severely frowned upon Tuesday when the publication board of the A. M. E. Church dismissed Rev. Dr. J. I. Lowe, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, and Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the denomination.
The dismissals grew out of the recent charges made by Dr. J. I. Lowe that Editor Wright had failed to account for subscriptions received at the Press Conference. This was followed by a published denial from Editor Wright, in which he claimed that he could "only account for Lowe's action on the theory that the Church has no duty to detach such as has disgraced the book concern since he has been manager."
The board of publication met here Tuesday to consider the charges that had been laid against Dr. Lowe in the testimony, it was learned, that Dr. Lowe had been arrested for alleged drunkenness. He told the police authorities, it is alleged, that he was suffering from alcoholism and had a mental for examination. The physicians found, it is said, not a trace of vertigo. It was further brought out that the two men had been arrested for alcoholism. Lowe was dismissed for alleged drunkenness, and Editor Wright was given the same penalty for publishing an alleged defamatory article before the ecclesiastical committee.
The men were given 60 days in which to vacate their positions. A committee, consisting of Bishop Evans Tyrese, president of the institution, and J. Coppin of Bishop C. T. Shaffer, was appointed to name the successors of the two men.
Among those present at the trial were Bishop Tyrese, Rev. H. H. Steepleman, Bishop C. R. Downs, Bishop T. Bunny, W. Va. W. Dr. R. H. Bunny, Pittsburg; Dr. W. R. A. Sinclair, this city; Walter P. Hall, this city, and Walter Foster, Montclair, N. J., all members of the Dr. W. R. A. Sinclair committee.
Dr. W. R. A. Sinclair was employed as manager editor four years ago, when both H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder, and J. H. Collett, the manager of the book concern, were seriously ill. He received them, filling both positions. He was elected editor of the Christian Recorder at the General Conference of the denomination, held in Kansas City in May, 1912. He was the same business manager.
Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, pastor of Waters, A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, is a candidate for the position at the editor of the Christian Recorder. He is well known throughout the country, and was a candidate for the position at the editor. That the courts will be called upon to decide whether or not the dismissal of Editor Wright will be allowed to stand proceedings have already been instituted, and a big legal fight may result.
REPUBLICANS WIN IN
WESTCHESTER COUNTY.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.
White Plains, N. Y., Nov. 4.—The Republicans carried Westchester County in the election Tuesday by more than 3,500, electing three Assemblymen, the County Judge, District Attorney, County Clerk and Coroner.
The Sulzer impeachment cut the Democratic vote. Last year the Democrats swept Westchester, electing four Assemblymen and several other county officers, but this year though the Democratic county candidates had the endorsement of the Progressives, they failed to win. William E. Werner and Frank H. Hiscock, candidates for the Court of Appeals, received more than 4,000 majority in Westchester. The Assemblymen elected were: George Blakely of Yonkers, First District; A. F. Marshil, Democratic of Wake Forest; District Judge Walter W. Law, Jr. of Briarcliff Manor, Third District; Floyd D. Hopkins, of White Plains, Fourth District.
Frank L. Young of Ossining was chosen County Judge over Judge William P. Platt, Democrat, who was seeking re-election. Daniel J. Cashin Republican, of Yonkers, was elected County Clerk over John J. Ackerman Democrat, of New York. Democrat, won the office of District Attorney, and Dr. Perley H. Mason Republican, of Peekskill, will be the next Coroner.
NEGRO IN SOUTH AFRICA
The treatment of the Negro in our Southern states is ideal as compared with what it is in South Africa, where the Parliament has lately past a law which forbids any white man to sell his land to a native, or makes the African a servant, or let him work for himself. His escape is to omit a native reserve, or on a mississippi reserve. In Rhodesia the Government gave the American Board Mission the thousand acres of wild land over which they had been ordered to natives who will send their children to school and it is planned to sell homes to proper parties.

Gastrocide—A New Preparation for All Stomach Troubles
While medical science is making rapid surges in the treatment of tuberculosis, cancer, psych-meningitis, diptychia, etc. It has not succeeded in the importance of the digestive system. Without perfect, digestive disease, no human being can attain the maximum of efficiency, strength, weight or health. It is now known that more diseases have their origin from malnutrition than any other cause.
"I had tuberculosis a few years ago," said a New York publisher recently, "and I got it because my stomach wouldn't digest my food to nourish my body. The medical world has recently perfected a remarkable preparation for the stomach called GASTROTOIDS. It is for all forms of dyspepsia and indigestion, and to stomach, bitter taste, swimming head, greasy rishings, pains after eating, etc., which every dyspeptic knows only too well. Now we say "try it" and know the joys of being able to eat any kind of food at any time in any manner. It is truly a great preparation, highly endowed with the digestive dragon's for 30c, 25c, or 60c, or from Curtis Chemical Company, 117 Past 24th Street, New York City. Remember, it's GASTROTOIDS.

of the Anna Held show at the
Jefferson Theatre, Birmingham, Ala.
and were compelled to sit in a “Jim-
Crowed" section of the gatlery is told
in the following dispatch which recently
appeared in a reputable colored paper of
the South:
Brauincuam, Ala., Oct, 22.—The the-
atre season in Birmingham has. opened:
Its opening was signulized by the out-
“pouring of a latge crowd of peuple Lent
upon’ pleasure, and who found it. The
opening performance at the Jefferson
Theatre was a combination cf vaude-
ville performance and the presentation
of the old-young Anna Held. Perform-
ances at the Orpheum and the Bijou
continued as they have: for seme time,
and were likewise attended by large
crowds of people.
In the hosts who attended the theatres
there was the usual outpourimg-af Ne-
groes, who go for a little pleasure, hut
have to take such miserable accommo-
dations in order to get it, The “Jim
Crow” “buzzard roosts" of the average
theatre in the South are hardly fit for
decent people under any circumstances.
yet some of the best people of Birming-
ham can be seen climbing fire escapes
and “burzard roost entrances nightly
with their sweethearts or wives.
It is curtently repirted that among,
the people who attended this perform:
ance of Anna Held, sitting i: the “buz-
zard roost,” which they had to enter by
way of the fire escape. were une of two
of the most prominent and busy leaders
in the Young Women’s Christian Asso-
ciation movement. It is also reported
that other leaders in this particular ef-
fort were on this same night seen ai the
“Jim Crow” “buzzard roost” of another
theatre. .
Individuals who for a long time have
condemned the patronage of theatres of
Birmingham under such conditions have
expressed themselves very strongly in
this matgyy within the past week, and
have maintained that constant yisitine
the theatres under such conditions is|
setting ‘a very poor exampic for the!
young women of Birminghan, the very
ones that a Young Women's Christian |
Association is designed to help.
It is said, too, from equally good au-
thority, that many of these self-same
leaders who frequently attend these “Jim
Crow” theatres object to going to the
Grand Theatre, an exclusive Negro
house. where equally as good vaudeville
is to be seen, on the ground that it is
on the “South Side,” a portion of the
town seldom visited by the elite, but
prefer, at the same time, to climb fire
escapes and endure all the foul odors
from the lower floor, as well as actual
and implied insults,
It is very winfortunate that the colored
theatregoers of the South are subjected
to such humiliating conditions. It seems
that in the majority of instances the
only way to see a show at any of the
first-class Southern theatres is to sit in
the “buzzard’s roost” This is bad
enough, but even with such altitudinous
accommodations the colored citizens are
“Jim Crowed? and compelle | tu sit in a
section apart from the poor whites.
Whether it is worth while sacrificing
your seli-respect to sce a shaw under
such adverse, conditions is, cf course,
an individual matter. But if there are|
colored theatres in the Southern cities,
where clean, entertaining theatrical en-
tertainmenty are presented it seems: =
if it would he far better to patronize the
colored -honses where you ars respected
and courteously cated’ than put money
into the coffers of those who regard you
a little higher than beasts

Prennes, an one sings soprano while the

In the first quarter the Morehouse
boys succeeded in carrying the pigskin
to Talladega’s five-yaed line, but were
snable t score becattse of the strength
and skill of the Talladega men. In the
last quarter Talladega was on Mare-
house's three-vard line with tirst down
and was not able to carry the ball over
because every man on the team with
Capt. Parks fought most desperately.
Talladega showed remarkable improve-
ment since she last met. Moret once and
promises to be a very important factor
in the race for the Southern champion-
ship. After éhine seasons of inditfer-
ent football she has now certainly one
of the most powerful clevens in the

In his report for October, shown in his office has 55 certified houses listed, each house is guaranteed by the league to prospective tenants who desire apartments in houses free from objectionable tenants. Six applicants were furnished lists of apartments during the month.
Thirty-four houses were placed on the suspicious list and investigated by the bureau, and a number of the houses were referred to the Tenement House Department, the police department go to the Head of Health.
One of the young lady investigators of the bureau was insulted by a police officer, and the secretary reported the matter to the commissioner. A trial of the officer has been ordered but because the young lady was injured in an accident and unable to appear, the trial had to be postponed.
The league has been very active in the movement to establish play grounds for children in Harlem, and petitions were circulated and signed through the housing bureau and forwarded to Commissioner Stover through F. K. Jones, assistant director.

The report has been furnished those citizens of Yonkers interested in the matter.
