Senior to the New York Post D. C., Dec. 10.—Gradually the Negro is being separated from representative political positions by the Wilson administration with a ruthlessness regarded by many as nothing short of criminal. Slowly but surely the high excursioners at Washington mark their victims for slaughter. The Armour and Swift plants are in danger of losing their reputations. News of the last Negro to be politically executed is just hinting out. He is George H. Jackson, United States Consul at Cognac, France. Although Consul Jackson's position was supposed to have been protected by Civil Service, a white man has been selected to succeed him. From all accounts the taking of his job from savers of highway robbery methods. For no good reason than Mr. Jackson been dismissed from the Consular Service. The chief charge against him seems to be that he must dark skin. It was on one a short time ago that the information gave out the information that the efficiency of the Consular Service would not be weakened by male militarism changes, and that mark, which he had made by the demonstration of his eminence, could not be removed. The removal of Gabriel H. Jackson as Consul at Cognac, France, shows how faithfully this rule is being observed. The simple statement appearing several days ago in the Congressional Record that Kenneth F. Patterson of Virginia, assistant counsel at Liverpool, had been appointed counsel at Capitol, France, to succeed George H. Jackson, was the only obituary to show that General Jackson had been politically deceased. This announcement appeared in the long list of congressional confirmations by the Senate on November 24. The Congressional Record, in other instances either imparted the information that the new appointee was succeeding a counsel who had resigned or that the appointment had been occasioned by return of a transfer or promotion. Just how Jackson was let out has never been officially stated. Common in Desirable Post. George H. Jackson was appointed Commal in Cognac, France, by President McKinney. The post has always been regarded as the best position held by a trained man in the Consular Service. The position carries with it a salary of $1,000 a year. Cognac is known for its bread and wines, and is looked upon as a most desirable place to live owing to its climatic advantages. On the same day the Senate confirmed the appointment of a white man to command George H. Jackson, A. T. Haskell of Minnesota, was confirmed as command to St. Michaels, Anosres, to second James W. Johnson, required to Mr. Johnson, command the Anosres, to bear the Dilemma of the Senate reequired to standard him. Mr. Johnson was appointed command of Anosres by President Tull while attained at Corsica, Miamagua. Some months ago Mr. Johnson called, on Secretary of State Bryan, and assured that it was willing for him to acquire to be confirmed command at Anosres. So he tendered his nomination. The unified for dismissal from the Conduit Service of George H. Jackson and the first refusal of the Democratic Senators to confirm Mr. Taft's appointment of James W. Johnson as Conduit to Assure clearly indicative the position President Wilson and his advisors have taken toward the colored citizens. There is every reason to believe that similar treatment will be met out to other Negroes in the Conduit Service. It is charged that the presentation of a list to President Wilson by colored Democrats, showing what positions were held by colored Republicans is responsible for the dismissal of Conduit Jackson. The Administration did not know Jackson was colored until the colored Democrats viewed out what conditions should be filled by colored Democrats. And the systematic feature of the dismissal of Negroes holding representative positions under Republican administrations is that when the colored officers held are let out while they are naturally appointed to succeed them. CAPPHAN ASYLUM BOARD HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the board of trustees of the College Orphan Asylum and Association for the Beneath of Colored Children at Riverdale, was held Monday afternoon in the auditorium of the Young Women's Christian Association building, 600 Lexington avenue.

APPOMATTOX CLUB Chicago, Ill., Dec. 9--Appomattox Club, 3144 Walsh avenue, held its annual election last Saturday evening. The following officers were elected Frank Hamilton, president; Charles S. Washington, first vice-president; Dr. L. W. Lewis, second vice-president; Dave McGowan, financial secretary; H. S. Anderson, treasurer, Beij, Mitchel, corresponding secretary.

Under the last administration such moted men as Dr. Booker T. Washington, Judge Marcos A. Kavanaugh, Maj. John R. Lych, Judge W. O. Brown and Prof. Foster of the University of Chicago were guests and speakers. Mr. Hamilton, who was re-elected without opposition, states that the club will devote more of its work to civic improvement of the race. PATTERSON WOMAN CHEF OF ASBURY PARK HOTEL Paterson, N. J., Dec. 10—Mrs. Leah Laster, 416 Fleming avenue, is the head chef of the Green Metropolitan Hotel, Asbury Park, N. J. It is annual to find a woman holding a similar position, but Mrs. Laster has shown her capacity and ability. She is cool and sensitive in her methods, rigid in discipline, her care and peaceful always. In many ways her home kitchen and communal hutte she has won the recipient of "Little Queen of the Kitchen." Miss Johnson, has been placed at a desk quite a distance from the other clerks, who are reported to have complained against working with her—because of her color. It is said that Commissioner Delaney was so deep affected by the strong protests of the poor, white working girls in his department, that he decided to segregate Miss Johnson. Miss Johnson was selected as typist from the eligible Civil Service list last week. Commissioner Delaney was greatly surprised when the typist from the college called her she was ready to work. They confessed in his office. Miss Johnson was advised to return Monday morning of this week. In accordance with instructions, Min. Johnson showed up for work Monday and was assigned to a desk away from the white typist. Up to this writing all of the white typist may be required to be trained in the department, which is dominated by Min. Johnson's present. The colored typist wishes it thoroughly understood that she is not working in the office of the Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy because of any desire to associate with the white working girls, but that she has the same object as he has the Caucasian sisters—to earn a living. Any attempt of the Devoutists at Albany to "Jim Crow" the colored clerks will be stubbornly fought by the colored critics of the State of New York, who pay taxes on property valued at nearly $2,000,000. As their money helps to pay those who would discriminate on account of color any attempt to draw the color line in the departments will be received. CONDUCT SUCCESSEII BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 9.—The colored women of Birmingham, under the leadership of Mrs Pauline Huggard Jackson, have carried out successfully an initiative campaign for the establishment of a Young Women's Christian Association, which has resulted in nearly 800 paid-up members. The movement was begun June 11. after the leader and one or two other interested women had issued a call for a mass meeting of women at one of the local churches. Responding to the call were 125 women, 75 of whom joined the movement. An active campaign was instituted, the forces divided into the "Reds," led by Mrs. C. D. Davenport, and the "Blues," led by H. C. C. L. Proctor. An aggressive campaign for membership was waged. Parker conferences were held in all parts of the city. Reports were made frequently, the "Blues" being in the lead one time and the "Reds" another. All of this lent added interest to the campaign. A number of prominent white women became interested in the movement and its progress was watched with interest by the Negroes of the city. At the last meeting, held in St. John A. M. E. Church last week, the reports showed 1,041 applications for membership and that there had been raised $335.50. The campaign closed Thanksgiving Day and was held in one of the largest churches in the city. More than 1,000 women attended the meeting and a "goodly number of men." Remarks were made by some of the white women interested in the movement. Among them were Mrs. C. P. Orr, who had been placed on the relationship committee as chairman; Mrs. Joseph McLester president of the white Young Women's Christian Association, and Mrs. Cecil Storrs, the general secretary of the association. Philadelphia Pa. Dec. 10—In the case of Lorenzo Harris vs. Harry W. Bass for the larceny by bribery of a contract and check for $500 from Harris, who is a sculptor, which grew out of a contract for two women for the Emancipation Proclamation Commission, a wretched of art quality was brought in by incarceration between counsel, as it was agreed that the charges properly be delivered by the civil court and will be adjudicated. FILES SUIT FOR $10,000. FILES SUIT FOR $10,000, THEN ASSAULTS DOCTOR, Special to The New York Act JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 10—It is reported that Dr. J. R. Stroud, 571, Jewett avenue, was seriously injured a few days since as the result of a beating administered by two men, one of whom was said to be John F. Trust, 22 Oak street, and the other a man known as "Spencer." In October last Mr. Trust entered suit against Dr. Stroud for $10,000 damages charging him with the alienation of his wife's affections. Mrs. Trust, who was one of the prettiest women in Jersey City, is with her mother in Chicago and has been since the statement "Spencer" is the hostland of a woman who was formerly Dr. Stroud's housekeeper. "Spencer has been separated from her for some time, and he, too, charges Dr. Stroud was intimate with his wife. Counselor Engene R. Hayne is representing Mr. Trust in his suit for damages. The parties connected with the affair refuse to discuss it, but it is surmised that the attack on Dr. Stroud was the result of some of the developments in the case. Some time ago Dr. Stroud denominated the suit filed against him by Trust to be part of a conspiracy to drive him out of town, and emphatically denied that any more intimacy existed between him and either of the two women whose mines were connected with his. He did also that not only would be not pay a cent to compromise the case, but that he never expected the case to be called for trial. Conductor T A Spraggan represents by Stroud CHURCH HEIRS TO FIGHT THE NAPIER WILL SUIT Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 9.—The heirs of the late "Bob" Church have decided to stubbornly contend the decision recently rendered by Judge J. S. Galloway of the Probate Court, who ruled that Mr. Laura Napier of Vancouver B. C., and a daughter of the testator by a share marriage, was entitled to a share of the Church estate, which is valued at nearly $1,000,000. The attorneys of the heirs will appeal Judge Galloway's decision to a higher court. Judge Gallaway ruled that no laws subsequently enacted in other states could affect the Tennessee law of inheritance, and that Mrs. Napier, who was a child of the minister, was entitled to a share of the estate. "Nigger Brown" is Extensive by Advertised by Department Stores Judging from the indignation expressed by the colored women of Greater New York, all department stores in New York and Brooklyn which insist in advertising a shade of goods known as "nigger brown" will find that this insult to the colored citizens will prove expensive. If the women folks of the race carry out their present plans all local department stores carrying "nigger brown" will be asked to discontinue selling this color under its present name. The stores which refuse to accede to these demands will find before many weeks that their colored clientele has fallen off to an alarming extent. "Nigger brown" was first advertised by several department stores about three months ago. Colored citizens who saw the advertisement at the time took exception to this new method of disparaging the race, but no protest was made to the department store managers, who have evidently become emboldened because of the seeming apathy of the colored people. One store ran a large advertisement in a daily paper several days ago which read: 'Tailored suits. Model values $35 to $40, at $17.50. Made of broadcloths, in navy, green, brown, taupe, wistaria, nigger brown, phoenix red, colored dress-makers in New York and Brooklyn who spend large sums annually with department stores are going to take an active part in demanding that this new shade of brown be given a name which does not only imply the price of the dress. NEGROES ARE URGED: TO BUY PROPERTY HAMPTON, Va. Dec. 9.—Quite a large and enthusiastic audience gathered at the Bates Colored School, Hampton, Va. on Thursday evening, December 4, to listen to a discussion of the important question, "Why the Negro Should Own Property." Among the speakers were William S. Dodd, who has charge of the business course at Hampton Institute; Mat R. R. Moton, commandant of the Hampton Institute cadets; the Rev. A. A. Gralam, of Phoebe, Va.; Miss Scoville, Miss Fuller, and Miss Graves, of Hampton Institute; Mr. Gray, president of the Parents' League; Mrs. Ann Taylor Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Minkins, and Mrs. Evans of Hampton Institute Mr. Anderson, principal of the Bates School, presided Mr. Dodd and Character is the very best property. I do not say this as a moralist, but as a practical business man. Character is the first essential of a good business man. He further explained that one way to show character is by thrift and economy, which leads to the owning of one's own home. Maj. Moton made a strong plea to the Negro to win the respect of their own race as well as the white people by saving their money to buy land. He said there would not be any more land and what there is is growing more valuable every day. If the colored people expect to own homes they must take the land while there is an opportunity. The Negro," said Maj. Moton, "is just as good as the white man, but he has got to prove it. We must deny ourselves to-day in order to have to-morrow." The Rev. Dr. Graham spoke of watching the boats from New York land at Old Point, and the many foreigners who came as passengers. He was always interested to know where they go and what they do. If you take a trip out through the country you will find they have bought up little farms and are prospecting. He advised the Negroes to buy homes before the foreigners take all the land from them. Miss Scoville, in a charming manner, addressed her remarks to the little folk telling them to save their pennies and dimes so they could buy property when they become men and women. Miss Fuller explained how she had induced many of the young scholars at Bates School to start a bank account by the stamp system of saving. Mrs. Minkins made a plea to parents to commute in order to keep their kids in school instead of sending them out work for their girls. So also told their girls go out to work they should see that they find employment in the right kind of farmwork. Mrs. Evans also talked to the parents always keeping their girls in school. She said that in the fall many of the girls stay out of school two or three months in order to work to pay for an examiner or or, when all that was necessary for school girls was not, comfortable, inexpensive clothing. Mrs. Evans told she was teaching the girls community methods of cooking so they could survive in the home. Bringing music was furnished during the evening by a group of students from the school. NATIONAL LEAGUE ON URBAN CONDITIONS MEETS The annual meeting of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes was held December 3 at the Assembly Hall of the United Charities Building, 105 East 22d street. A program was given which showed the efficient work and results of the league's activity during the past twelve months. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, delivered the principal address on "The City Negro." L. Helleworth Wood, of New York, was the chairman. He described the work of co-operation, housing improvement industrial improvement, Travellers' Aid, Big Brother, Big Sister and other work carried out by the league, and pointed out the developments which the league recently entered upon in southern cities. George E. Haynes of Fisk University, and director of the National League, gave an illustrated lecture, showing some of the housing, summary, economic and other conditions among Negroes in the cities and the work the league has done in improving conditions. Those present enjoyed the music by the orchestra and chorus of the Music School Settlement for Colored People. David I. Martin, director, David Manus and Miss Helen E. Smith resumed a song which was heartily enriched. The following have been added to the Executive Committee of the league: Mra. A. S. Read, Maj. R. R. Matson, Prof. Kelly Miller, Charles D. Hillis, James Dillard of the Jenns Fund Board; W. Francis Brush and John T. The American Association of Philadelphia, Mr. American Association of Philadelphia win was elected chairman of the Executive Committee, Maj. R. R. Matson and Prof. Kelly Miller were chosen vice presidents and L. Hollingsworth executive secretary. Kelly Miller Sports. During his address, Prof. Miller said, in brief: "I believe I am desired to speak to you for a little while upon a subject with which you are already acquainted. The Negro in the City. The movement of population in the cities represents one of the greater tendencies to modern times. There are two functions of the city, one the manufacturing center and the other the distributing center, and the people of the world are rushing to the cities for these two reasons. There is not the same reason for the Negro's coming to the city as the white population, the Negro's purpose not being that of entering into immigration and distribution policies. The Negro's hard hit in the country compels him to come to the city for better educational advantages and social assurance. The city offers all these (Continued on page 1) Washington, D. C. Dec. 10. A good deal of discussion has been excited at the capital of the nation lately because of the forceful letter published in The Ike bearing upon secrecy. There is another direction in which secrecy is enforced in Washington that the outside world is not much informed, which strikes at the bottom of our civic and economic success. It is practically impossible for a colored man to get a license as a master plumber in the district. It is questionable whether there is a single black man in Washington who has a license or can secure one. Many negroes have constructed large and substantial houses; many are living in houses that have cost a good many thousands of dollars, but in each case if new plumbing is to be installed or overhaulled they are compelled to get a white man to do it. Often in the case of public school buildings being erected for our race, no colored man is permitted to work as a master plumber or steam filter. How it is or why it is that a population of 90,000 black people have stood this kind of slavery for so many years is past understanding. "Now that we have begun to take up the question of segregation or discrimination, let us go to the bottom of it" is the consensus of opinion here. NEGROES ORGANIZE FOR CIVIC BETTERMENT New Orleans, La. Dec. 9.—The meeting of the Colored Educational Alliance held at Central Congregational Church Thursday evening, December 4, went into permanent organization, electing the Rev. H. H. Dunn, president; F. F. Simms, secretary and Dr. F. M. Nelson, treasurer. Committees on poll tax, evening schools, elementary schools, high school and school building were provided for. Realizing the urgent need of poll taxes as an important factor in the financial success of the public school committee on poll taxes was fully organized with W. L. Cohen as chairman and members from each ward was appointed. $101,000 ON DEPOSIT TO PROTECT POLICIES Durham, N. C. Dec. 9. The North Carolina Mutual and Provider Association began business April 1, 1899. Since that time it has written nearly 70,000 industrial policies and 10,000 ordinary. The company has $101,000 deposited with the Insurance Commissioner for the protection of its policy holders. The company is non-stock and all the liabilities are in the shape of insurance which is maintained on all its business. It gives compensation to the mutual and provider companies in the Carolina and Georgia and expands to operating members States in the spring of each year. The offices of the company, located upon an awning, mild and progressive habitation, in the very heart of the Transmountain economy triangle, include the offices of some of the above industries of the race in the nation's capital to consider and formulate plans to stimulate the commercial, industrial and agricultural energy and enterprise of the 100,000 colored colonies of Washington. Speakers Land Company. The speakers and subjects discussed were as follows: The practical results of the conference were: Encouragement to those willing to do an understanding of a mother, a concrete house in the power of the government, and an operation, increased confidence in the great enterprise. Many good men were born which are destined to spring up, and will make a real into those things which they have been taught to do. A half of the meeting, a new movement of very great value is already in process of formation. What National Benefit Aunt Offers. The National Benefit Association Inc. is a charitable organization, with industrial policies—the sick and injured—to care for the family needs while the earning power of the disabled him temporarily conserved; the straight life—to provide for a burial that will not be a burden upon the county and that will not be a burden upon the county and that will not be a burden upon the morning widow and orphan, and the twenty-year reinforcement—to provide the insured himself with a small cash capital at the expiration of twenty years and to teach him to survive in the crowd of prior death the face of the policy is paid. Anyone—male or female—between the age of 1 and 90 years, if in good health is accepted in either or all departments. The money from 100 dollars to 25 years. The money from 12 per week down, while the benefits are from $20 to $200. The president, secretary and treasurer, without whom joint agreements no check is issued, have legal rights for beneficiaries in the amount of $200,000. All of the members are accepted where the institution is known and in all the building houses of the company. In meeting on the occasion of the conference simply on the very same day proof of completeness or death is received. In the National Benefit Association system are considered the Government bodies of insurance. Its experience, strength, organization and service, which are of the first magnitude, embody its protective power. The company is under Federal and State supervision. After a most thorough and careful investigation into afflictions by three examiners, the Insurance Department of the state, they recently reported that the company is well and economically managed; the general records are neatly and accurately kept. Such is its unbroken and faithful record of service for the fifteen years of its corporate existence. The officers have seen the concern grow from an acorn of thought to a giant oak affording financial shelter and protection to a grand array, which if it could be mustered and rebuilt at one point would be 149,000 may hold it. This is greater than the population of the States of Florida, or Wyoming; the cities of Albuquerque, M. Y.; New Haven, Covina; Richmond, Va.; Paterns, N. J.; Beranton, Ga.; Washington, Dell; and a number of others, and equal to that of pither Atlanta, Ga., or Oakland, Cal. Many of the world's famous battles were fought in the company is a modern city but whose inhabitants are all colorless and represent every profession, industry, religious, substance abuse and financial interest. In half were all for policy holders to be taught on a separate island their interests, talents and accomplishments are clearly advertised to enable them to set up and perpetuate a armament and treasury business to any city or State of this country. All National Benefit Association agents are thereby brought into personal contact with the maximum number of the thrifty and successful citizens in a given community, and in turn the policy holders rub elbows with these agents. Consequently as an interstate company, operating in six states its advantage to a wide number of colored people is apparent and unparalleled in insurancedom. Deposited $50,000 With Insurance Commissioner. The National Benefit Association was the first Negro insurance company to deposit with the Insurance Commissioner as great a sum as $50,000 in high class securities acceptable to the State authorities for the perpetual protection of the insured. The insured应 to throw the strongest safeguard of protection back of and around every policy issued. Every statutory, business and moral requirement has been met. Owing to its made of operation, plan of requiring every agent to furnish his own cash bond and say, "I will provide you with increasing strength and permanent stability is assured for all time." An inspection of the $117,500 worth of gilt bond bonds owned by the company, shows that where satisfactory securities have been obtainable, some of the collections made in the States in which the institution is operated have been reinvested in the public corporations, cities and countries of those States. This is developing being entered into the money, and it once widens the government whose institution in those states in every nation of the world. A glance at the National Benefit Association's holdings of high grade bonds shows it is impossible for any one to ride on any street railway, use the telephone, burn electric or gas light, board the incoming or outgoing trains, and enjoy the terminal station facilities in Washington, the capital of the nation, without paying tribute to the National Benefit Association by contributing to the different combines income in earnings that will pay the interest charges on their bonds making safety the first object the officers have diversified the investments and thereby widened the basis of this great financial structure. You will find these market purchasing the school and engender water and sewerage bonds of Baltimore, as well as those of Jersey City, Austin, Tex.; Basic City, Va.; Harleysville, Ohio.; Masontown, Pa.; and the United States Government bonds issued to build the Panama Canal. At the close of business this year, it will be found that the National Benefit Association has brought to the nation's capital receipts approximating 100,000 and kept this vast sum in active circulation by the payment of claims, clerks' agents and conservative investments. The National Benefit Association was largely brought to its present pinnacle of development upon the shoulders and by the efforts of its agents. Every agent is not only responsible for all he collects, but for every mark he makes. This sense of responsibility has served to teach the intangible in business methods; to make the careless careful; to broaden his views upon life by personal contact and to respect himself more as being somebody in his community. They taught one of the surreal forms of moving picture to the acquire the capacity for self-investment and self-reformation. In the company's remarkable march of development, it has necessarily and largely imported to budding intelligence. The National Benefit Association's salience is unquestioned, its success established, its service unequalled and its future secured—standing as a commitment to its founders and its army of faithful representatives and loyal holders.

C., Dec. 9.—The annual session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, A. F., and A. M., meets here to-day. The main interest centers around the race for the office of grand master, now field by R. B. McCray. Grand Master McCray will be opposed for re-election by Dr. J. E. Dellinger of Greensboro, Dr. James E Sheppard of Durham and Dr. W. G Avant of Newbern. Dr. Avant is averse to making the race but his friends are urging it upon him as a duty. The other men are avowed candidates. Dr. Dellingers campaign has been based upon attacks on the office of secretary of the endowment fund, held by Col. James H. Young of Raleigh. Startling charges of mismanagement of the fund have been made by Dr. Dellinger in a series of open letters to Col. Young the charge being made that 'frauds on members and the order have been covered up by a failure to have the books of the secretary of endowment properly audited. Dr. Dellinger charged that Col. Young insisted on auditing his own books, and during the recent state fair at Raleigh a meeting was held which passed a resolution ordering a sweeping audit of the books of the endowment fund. EPISCOPALIAN MINISTER GRITCIBES-PROF. DU BOIS Special to The New York Ac Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 9.—The Rev. Arthur G. Coombs, rector of Holy Trinity Church, during Sunday morning services severely criticised Prof. W. E. B. Dubois for an article appearing in the current number of the publication of which Prof. Dubois is editor, which speaks in none too complimentary terms of the Episcopal Church Convention held a few weeks ago in New York. The speaker declared that the article in question is an exaggeration and untruthful and the writer of it was accused of having wilfully and maliciously misrepresented facts. Dr. Coombs did not mhce words in his criticism and spoke convincingly to the members of his congregation. The Rey, Dr. Coombs declared he was certain all people did not agree with the viewpoints taken, by Bishops Gailor and Nelson regarding the Negro. However, as a churchman he disagreed just as strongly with Prof. DuBois in what the speaker maintained was an attempt to take advantage of the utterances of the bishops as an open road to an unjust and an unreasonable criticism of the Episcopal Church, unmindful of the efforts of the church in the past and present to better the conditions of the colored people. BRILLIANT MAN DIES FROM MOB VIOLENCE. DANNEMORA, N. Y., Dec. 10.—The Rev. Sidney Albert Smith, formerly of Pittsboro, Miss., died December 3 and was buried December 6 in Dannemora, N. Y., where for several years he had been confined in a State insane asylum as a result of having received serious injuries years before when attacked and beaten by a mob of ignorant white ruffians while residing with his mother in Big Creek, Miss. The mob crushed his skull and broke three of his ribs, together with inflicting other internal injuries. An eminent physician stated that the injuries on his head were the cause of his gradual mental decline. Even after this brutal assault the Rev. Mr. Smith made great headway educationally, receiving the bulk of his training in Lane College, Jackson, Miss, leaving there in 1904, to continue his theological studies in Yale Divinity School, an ambition he never realized, for he became completely insane before the opening of the school year. His friends and relatives can now better understand the many misfortunes which happened to him. Some of his immediate relations years ago realized that he was gradually losing his mind. He was a member of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. Doubtless many of his former friends will learn with sorrow of the tragic end of one once so promising, representing as he did a typical example of an educated Christian gentleman Deceased is survived by one sister, Georgia Smith Nolen, Nashville, Tenn.; three brothers, Cornelius Smith, Texas; the Rev. John H. Smith, Pittsboro, Miss., and James Smith, Oakland, Miss. Among others of his relatives are: J W. Smith, Pittsboro, Miss.; the late Dr. James Benjamin Nolen and the Hon W. W.

Canton, Miss., Dec. 9.—The Mississippi Grand Lodge of Masons met in this city last week and disposed of important business. The attendance at the thirty-eighth session was large, and the interest great. The citizens of Canton, irrespective of race or color, contributed to make the stay of the visiting Negro Masons pleasant. Maj. Foote, the most prominent white man in the city, and who is the wealthiest and most active in the business life of the city, delivered the welcome address. It was a most cordial welcome. Greatest interest centered in the report of Charles Banks of Mound Bavon secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Beneficial Association. Mr. Banks report was the most complete, comprehensive and satisfactory ever submitted to the Grand Lodge since the Beneficial Association has been established. The report showed that Mr. Banks has collected during the year $8,000, and after making disbursements for sick and death benefits the association had $1,000 remaining in the treasury. Mr. Banks was re-elected secretary and treasurer, without opposition. W. A. J. Morgan was re-elected Grand Master and G. S. Goodman, Grand Secretary. The next session will be held at Tupels. Among the prominent men who took an active part were: P. W. Howard, Jackson; M. S. Stuart, Jackson; S. A. Bedside, Jackson; the Rev. Dr. I. D. Morant, E. B. Topp, W. D. Sherrod, Meridian; E. H. McKissack, Holly Springs; E. P. Jones, Vicksburg; S. H. Highland, Vicksburg; S. M. Anderson, Laurel; G. H. Oliver, and G. W. Gilliam, Clarksdale.

COLLEGE, GREENBORO, N. C. The Man Farthest Down By 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 Sloveny," 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.

No one familiar with the conditions of travel in the Southern States to which colored people are subjected, and without color of law or equity, needs to be told-that they are intolerable; but we make bold to tell the Teachers’ Association of North Carolina and all other agencies concerned, that they fare losing time and money, and self-respect in appealing to that vague thing. called “the best white sentim-nt of the State.” This sentiment exists, but it is so scattered as to be only fe.. and not seen. ‘Because the rabble, the poor white masses who do the voting, are against the colored pcople, the best whige“sentiment is afraid to open its mouth ia protests against wrongs against colored people as well as themselves which the politicians feel con- strained to perpetrate upon them. It is im this way that the Tillmans, Hoke ‘Smiths, Vardamans and Bleases dominate public opinion and impose upon the public sentiment of their States a coadition of wrong and injustice that appeal to High Heaven for redress and vengeance. The thing to-do is to go straight to the State courts with properly worked gut cases againat individual railroads for violating: the separate cat laws. These laws call for separate bat equal accommodations. These are not given by any railroad in the South. This is a sweeping statement, but it will be found on investigation to be true, as to general passenger traffic land in every case as to Pullman chair and sleeping accommodations. These latter are not to be had in any Southern State except in the rarest instances, Jand when they are denied separate but equal accommodation is not fur- Inished. We are informed that it is almost impossible for a colored person to obtain a room for the might oa the steamboats plying on the Chesapeake Bay. At most, only a few undesirable rooms arc reserved for them, and when they are disposed of other travellers have to rough it through the Yong watches of the night. The common carriers should be compelled to comply with‘the conditions of the odious laws by the State courts) and ‘when these fail the Federal courts should be appealed to. It is the only Mies casks investigate the segrtgation conditions in the departments at Washington has made a comprehensive report in which’ we find no new thing, but full confirmation of all of the old ones repofted from time to time in The Age during the past twelve months. The report contains much that is humiliating to the National pride, which the Wilson Administration has brought about without any justiflea- tion in law or public opinion, as it is simply the enforcement of segrega- tion of the races in the public service where none has existed during the past. fifty years, and producing an- tagonisms casier t provoke than to eradicate. The’ Southern white man appears ever ready to provoke a bad condi- tion in race relations, and the North- ‘era white man to accept it, without weighing the cost. They seem not to learn by’ experience. The long conflict over the question of slavery and slave territory and the bloody war required to settle the dispute should have taught the Southern peo- ple and those of the Nation that it is easier to create a race problem than to solve it, and that it is not the same thing to create a race problem about a lot of slaves rated as chat- tels and no people and a lot-af people who are free and sovereign io their own right under ineradicable war- ranty of the Federal Constitution. But such is the: case. Those who make race problems for others make race problems for themselves, and when the time of settlement ‘comes they have to answer to those for whom they’ made them. as well as to the spirit of their evil genius which leads them in the wrong way instead of in the right way, As it is with individuals so it is with Nations. PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES INDORSED. President Wilson has shown in many instances that he is a radical of the radicals in changing existing conditions of voting in all directions. In hiv first Message to Congress. sobmitted December 2, he hat the following proposition for the nomina- tion of Presidential candidates, which is radical enough for the most rad- ical: $ : sande and SLI sce trowery of any.

Some enterprising Caucasian, who deserves to be honored by being referred to as “a patron of art,” has introduced a new color, which bears the official designation of “nigger brown.” Mrs. Burleson, wife of the Postmaster- General, was reported as: wearing a gown of, “tete de negro” crepe de chine at the Sayre-Wilson wedding. In this instance this new color was “dignified” somewhat. « The various department stores in New York and Brooklyn are insulting hundreds of their colored patrons. by extensively advqrtising this new species of browm. These stures are playiag very prominent part’ in disparaging a race which peure into their coffers theasands of dollars anou.lly We have not given “nigger brown” sufficient study to enable us to state whether it is of the “ginger-cake,” “seal-skin,” “chocolate,” “molasses,” “near-ebony” or “light brown” variety. The only information we have at hand is that it is “nigger brown.” We do know, however, that there is little likelibood of these de- partment stores advertising “mick xreen,” “Dago yellow” or “Sheeny red.” The colored women of Greater New York and elsewhere should show that they resent this ummecessary insulting of the Negro by withdrawing their support from every store selling “nig- ‘ant beoua:” PROTESTS AGASWET- DISCRIM. Wamu... While one es sock “cemtery as Boston, Neg’ York, Chicago, Bef timore and Washiagiiom are protesting against discrimination on the part o! the National Government among its employees, we call attention to an: other kind of discrimination that tnuches the masses of the whole race and is more fundamental in its prac- tical effects even than discrimination in governmental departments, We have not paid much attention to the discrimination practiced every day in the year right in our own communt- ties in practically every part of the North and West; we mean that kind of discrimination which prevents a colored man from working as a brick- mason, as a carpenter, as a machinist, fay an clectrician, as,a plumber; that kind of discrimination which pre- vents colored women from. selling xoods behind a counter, from acting as clerks, as bookkeepers, a5 stenog- raphers; that kind of discrimination which prevents colored men from be- ing employed in printing offices, from working on daily newspapers; which Prevents colored women from acting as telephone operators; in all these directions which prevemt the mass of our people irom making an independ- ent daily living. This is the kind of discrimination that is always at hand and should not go unnoticed by our people. We notice that in the addresses which are being delivered against dis- crimination at Washington that little or nothing is said about the diserim- ination practiced in owr own com- munities and often permitted or con- ducted by those who ought to be among our best friends. So long as in the large cities in the North col- nred people seem to be prescribed ‘30 largely to the duty of being porters, of window-washers, or elevator men, so long will the temptation exist to Jiscriminate in Washington. Let us take up frankly and discuss ull kinds of discrimination while we ire at it; let sis ask our good white riends to set an example and let lown all the barriers right at home nd employ coloréd men and colored women in their own offices as they now employ white men and white women. ‘The Rateigh News and Observer says “rnin jm clearly the seagon of Iarne sweet potatoes.” — Perhaps, in North Carolina, but in New York they are very amall and come very high.

We have a house in Rome, Ga., and we are trying to fix up some time on good, clean acts can come. South. We wish you would kindly wear colored acts about Atlanta, Ga. There is a man by the name of Charles P. Bailey who runs an ad in some of the colored papers starting he can give colored acts twenty weeks work. He has a colored booking for him. He is right right the white man who off his dents when $10 to $15 off your salary. When a colored performer from New York recently asked him for the balance of his money he told the performer to get out of his office and drew a revolver, threatening "he shoot the Northern 'nigger' and show what a Southern white man could do." This Charles P. Bailey offers twenty weeks' work, but can only give two. His house does not bear a reputation for refined, clean vanderville, and he has no respect for any colored woman or man. He is reported as saying "they are all alike; that there are no bigger" stars." We allowed him to advertise us, but when we went to Atlanta and found out just what kind of a place it was and how uncoach the man was we did not report for rehearsal. We concluded to show him that Northern colored star acts could demand respect. The language this manager uses before colored, people is not fit for a dog to hear. We would like THE ACE to take up this matter, for the colored women and men of the race who respect themselves must show those who would misuse colored acts that the members of the colored theatrical profession do not intend to stand for abuse. It must not be overlooked that this man is making thousands of dollars out of the colored people, who may respect. Sammie Gardner and wife and child were brought from Chicago by this manager. Bailey paid Gardner what he pleased. Two weeks later, after Gardner had paid for his tickets and board, he had sixty cents left. Other acts brought to Atlanta have received similar treatment. Acts working in this house are just like slaves, having to do six shows and more a day. Trusting that THE ACE will at once inform the colored performers what they are up against in Atlanta, Respectfully yours. Less than four weeks ago The Ace received a letter from Zel Bledsaux, a colored performer from New York, in which complimentary reference was made to the white manager whom the Griffin Sisters have occasion to severely criticise. Zel Bledsaux, in his letter told of the performers from New York making a hit at this particular Atlanta theatre, and Manager Bailey was characterized as "one grand white man." Whether Mr. Bledsaux continues to hold the white manager in high esteem is not known. The New York vaudevillians had only been in Atlanta a week when he wrote. The Griffin Sisters are eagerly sought after by managers of colored theatres and the standing they occupy in the theatrical profession demands that their letter be given more than passing consideration. They have never been regarded as alarmists or sensationalists, and they must have good and valid reasons for protesting against the conduct of Manager Bailey. The information received in New York is that the majority of colored houses in the South conducted by white men cater principally to the illiterate Negro and that these houses are seldom frequented by the better class. Why such a condition should obtain can be easily understood. The white man in the South who finds it necessary to earn a living by conducting, a small theatre for colored people has but one aim in view—to make money. He possesses no high ideals or progressive ideas, and so long as his theatre is crowded it is immaterial who patronizes his house or whether the brand of entertainment given is refined or vulgar. It is the money he wants. ```markdown ``` It is not the least surprising that colored performers are at times mistreated by white Southern managers when environment and other contributory causes are considered. But these adverse conditions are not to be improved by condemning the white manager who is disposed to bully and insult the colored members of the theatrical profession—men and women alike. It is up to the colored people of the South to remedy conditions. The Griffin Sisters are helping solve the problem by taking charge of a theatre in Rome, Ga., which they say will provide work for good, refined colored acts. Good, refined colored acts will draw a good, refined class of patrons. Considering the large Negro population and colored institutions of learning in Atlanta, and in view of the discrimination shown at the large theatres, it seems strange that the progressive colored men of that city do not build a Thomas A.

Leubrie Hill and the Darktown Follies have entered into their third week at the Lafayette Theatre, and interest has not abated in the show to any great extent. The Lafayette Theatre management introduced its new policy of only three matinees a week—Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays—with matinee prices of 15 and 25 cents and evening prices of 25, 35 and 75 cents. F. Ziegfeld, the well-known theatrical promoter, has secured the rights to use "After the Ball, That's All," the last song in the show, and has gone to Chicago to put the number in the Follies of 1913. CRESCENT THEATRE. The Melrose Comedy Four, which played at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week, has a tenor singer whose racial identity is no longer a mystery to Harlem theatregoers. About two months ago he appeared in a white dramatic sketch presented at the Lafayette Theatre, and in the role of a Romeo made violent love to a white girl in the piece. During the engagement of this act at the Lafayette Theatre many colored Americans were, heard to express the opinion that this young man, who worked in evening clothes, etc., was "passing." This surmise proved to be true. Whether his racial identity was discovered and he was discharged is not known. However, he is working in a colored act—at least for a brief spell. And then they try to draw the color line! The Felrose Comedy Four harmonize well and the comedian gets some good laughs. The bill is opened by Bob Condon. who sings and tells jokes. Sadie Britton, formerly of the Brittons, is doing a single turn. More dancing and less slap-stick improve this act. Miss Britton can dance. The Monroe Brothers do too much slap-stick work before going into their tumbling. The act has a strong finish. NEGRO PLAYERS PRAISED Manager Rudolph Voelckel, who is looking after the business interests of the Negro Players, is in high spirits over the favorable letters received from managers of houses where the company has played. In every instance a demand is made that the Negro Players be reelected. The most favorable letters has been received from F. W. Twyman, manager of the Opera House at Charlottesville, Va., who writes: "I consider your show one of the best we have ever had." LATEST IN THEATRICALS. The latest thing in theatricals is the vaudeville and motion picture road show. Will Foster, head of the Foster Colored Photo Players, Chicago, is putting out several attractions, guaranteeing to furnish the entire performance in a race which are fully equipped to show motion pictures and vaudeville. The pictures presented are "The Rail-Road Porter" and the "Fall Guy," two comedy films representing Negro life without putting the race in a ridiculous light. Two of these companies are in the South. THOMAS TESTIMONIAL Andrew J. Thomas, manager of the Howard Theatre, Washington... Dr. C. was tendered a testimonial by the colored citizens of the capital city last week which was a big success. Citizens from all walks of life took part in honoring Mr. Thomas, who was presented with a loving can three feet high. The success of Mr. Thomas as manager of the Howard Theatre should serve as an inspiration to colored men who are ambitious to manage up-to-date refined theatres conducted in the interest of colored people. Mr. Thomas took charge of the Howard after the theatre had experienced a most temperate audience in the theater. The attendance was small and actregores not at all enthusiastic. Now the Howard Theatre has a large clientele of 'amusement-lovers, and the testimonial to Mr. Thomas gives evidence of the esteem in which he is held. There are other large cities in the United States which could well aord to have a Howard Theatre and a manager such as Andrew J. Thomas. An audience small in numbers but large in charitable appreciation greeted W. H. Richardson of Boston, a baritone singer, who was presented by the *Carlton Avenue Branch* Brooklyn Y. M. C. A., in a recital featuring its annual musical entertainment at Association Hall, 11 Bond street, Brooklyn. Thursday evening, December 11, Maud Cuney began her performance at the composer and Mrs. Walter F. C. Abbott gave two dramatic readings. Except for the prologue from Leonavallo's "Paganiacci" with which Mr. Richardson opened the program, his songs, were ballads by various composers, which perhaps, was a very good thing. S. Coleridge Taylor, J. R. Monod Johnson, Harry T. Burleigh and Mrs. Hare were the Negro composers represented on Mr. Richard's program. The prologue which opened the program is a favorite with baritones, and pretty much includes in their repertoire Mr. Richardson sang off in some of the recitative passages of this number and this destroyed its effectiveness. "Near the End of April," a little song by Mr. Maud Cuney Hare, not yet published, was sung by Mr. Richardson, and it proved, to be a dainty composition, "Birds in a High Hall Garden," one of a song cycle in which Whelpley set three poems from Longfellow's "Maund" to music, was probably Mr. Richardson's best effort, and showed his voice at its best. However he has sung at other times and at other places, Mr. Richardson opened up no new vistas of achievement either in the songs chosen or in his rendition of them. He has a pleasing voice which has had considerable training, but to say that it possesses any charmable quality would not be true. His almost impossible fulfilment, it being almost impossible to understand of his songs. If he has any temperament it must have been in cold storage Thursday night. And so he sang through his program of ballads with tone and delivery, that pleased at first, but which, changing not or varying ever, soon paled upon the surfeited hearers. Mr. Richardson was liberal in his offerings, giving sixteen songs in his program. But the evening was not entirely lost, for Maud Cuney Hare, with her delightful accompaniments, gave a brilliant sparkle to the program and added much to the evening's enjoyment. Her rare sympathy and surpassing technique were at one with her understanding of the composer and after while of all the alumno in the listening to the ripples of the accompaniment while the stream of song went rumbling by unnoticed. Mrs. Hare had two solo numbers on the program, and selected a group of little pieces by Coleridge-Taylor and Paderewski's "Craccovienne Fantastique" for, her first number, and "Cantique d'Amor," by Liszt, for her second. An encore after the Liszt number brought forth Coleridge-Taylor's Bamboum, and this was the gem of Mrs. Lamp's offerings. The "Craccovienne" will have been left off, especially as it seemed not to have been well prepared. Mrs. Craig pleased her friends in the two dramatic recitations she grave. Because the recital was under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and for its benefit, the people of Brooklyn should have given more largely of their support. It is doubtful if the Association received much financial help from this effort. ORGANIZING IN LOUISVILLE Opposition of the colored citizens of Louisville to the segregation of colored playgoers at the National and Mary Anderson theatres seems to be more than a flash in the pan. Colored organizations have become interested in the movement to persuade members of the race to keep away from the "Jim Crow" theatres. Slides provided by the Citizens' Committee are being run at the Olio and Ruby theatres which read: "Have you race pride? If so, show it by patronizing the Ruby and Olio theatres instead of sneaking through the alley to the roost of the Mary Anderson and National theatres. Why pay to be separated?" Last week one public school teacher was caught coming out of the alley of the Mary Anderson Theatre. She is being soundly scored by both press and public. The Cane Club has made the following protest: "When we turn from the man to the race, and pause to think, what a great barrier to the progress of the Nerko, is race prejudice, the harm done is so severe that it is impossible to enshions and to demand our wuest and most resolve actions. "It is then that we are called upon, as one and as a race, to devise means, by, which, we may solve the discrimination in all its various forms such as non compensated efficiency and unjust accommodations, that dulls the edge of our ambitions, behind whose ramparts lies intrenched our pride the most insignificant. We like a wounded heart lies bleeding. The problems are made complex by the lack of unity among us, and the utter disregard of self-pride of the masses, who seem not to be cognizant of the urgent necessity of pulling transnationally as one would like to do, all things and laws, which tend to show that we are an inferior race. "Why do we stand here idle? Why longer deliberate? Already the enemy in the field. Is not more negotiation spreadling than an attack on our accommodation into the State of Keatuckey, famed for its hospitality, into the City of Louisville, styled the 'Gateway of the South.' "Some years ago the Mary Anderson Theatre was chosen to the gallery our only accommodation, such as feeble protest was given the place, the conditions to this day remain the same, this year the National Theatre was built, with greater ticket office and entrance which leads to the gallery, our only accommodation. "And now in view of the aforementioned facts it urgently behooves us as a endeavour to keep our longage of life, of our progress and other freedoms which we now enjoy. to protect together as one, not attend these playhouses where we are offered such insults and soon we shall see that we are better treated. We, the Cane Club, heartily inde- pendent against these insults offered our race. COLORED STAR PLAYS; KANSAS DERATE From Lawrence, Kans., comes word that Kansas University went down in defeat not only as a football team but in the eyes of the world as a university of learning that insisted upon drawing the color line. There is many an aching heart and many an empty pocketbook for everyone in this section bet his last blue on the Jayhawkers. Ross, the great-colored star, played a stellar game despite the fact that Kansas had threatened to take over from the content without scar. Kansas used every means of unfairness simply because Nebraska insisted on playing Rosas or cancel the game. "Jumbo" Stiehm led his warriors into Lawrence about noon only to find that the whole town was against them, refusing to feed them in any of the restaurants, and he finally led them to a hash house. Not a Nez braska pennant was seen. Contrary to the usual custom Kansas sections failed to cheer Nebraska, but the 500 that came from Lincoln made some noise. Every time that Ross would break through and nail a Jayhaker the 500 would go wild and this made the Kansas sections sick to their hearts. Furthermore, it did them little good to hit the line in Ross' vicinity and after a few hard smashes at the plucky left guard they stopped fussing around and directed their plays elsewhere. The playing of Ross was the bone of contention. Some few weeks ago Kansas wrote to Nebraska asking whether they intended to play Ross or not. Stitchm said Ross was a member of the eleven and had won a regular position as guard and would play. The Kansas authorities claimed that an unwritten law existed that no one of color would be allowed to play in the games. Dean Avery of Nebraska came forth and showed his manhood, aage in school about the average west of the Alleghenies and on the plane with Harvard. Dartmouth and Pennsylvania by saying that if Kansas would not play against Ross that Nebraska would cancel the game and also sever all athletic relations. This Kansas could not afford to do so Ross played. Kansas did all they could to make it unpleasant for Nebraska University and its star colored player. Rust Blues Defeat the Whites. In a game played between the members of the Rust football squad, the boys representing the Blue defeated the boys representing the White in a hard-fought game by the score of 6 to 0 Saturday, December 6. The Blue's touchdown, was made through a fumble by McEwen in receiving a punt which was recovered by Braion, who ran 45 yards for a touchdown. The Whites made constant gains, but made by the twice during game the Whites got within striking distance of the goal, to lose the ball through a fumble. Both lines were strong. Derby continued his star playing by tearing off eight and ten yards successively. After the game the young ladies, together with Miss Doxey and Mrs. Rogers, served the winners to sandwiches and punch. The line-up was as follows: Blues. Whites. Jackson. Center. Chamberlain Green. R. G. Hollowell Brown. L. G. Jones Montgomery. R. T. Black Williams. L. T. H. A. Scott Stennis. R. E. Pickett Crawford. L. E. J. M. Scott Branion. Q. B. McEwen Howard. R. H. Darby E. Shivers. L. H.

Hicks, R. McAllister. Time of quarters. 15 minutes. Rust Football Team Entertained. The football season closed with the Rust Association, Holly Springs, Miss., with a banquet and dinner to the players and students by the president and teachers. After the dinner, the members and friends moved to the spacious chapel, where a short program was rendered. Dr. Docking, president of the university, presided. He introduced Prof. Rogers, treasurer of the association, and the success of the team and especially the great trip to Texas. He announced that the association was on good basis financially, and that at the beginning of the baseball season a good amount would be ready for paraphernalia, etc. Prof. Bailey, the ardent coach, was next introduced. He told of the spirit of the players, and faithfulness and earnestness of every man to do his best. College Boy Wins Cross Country Run. Frank Jenkins, colored, running for Far Rockaway High School, led home a pack of over one hundred schoolbolds in the annual high school's cross country championships run over the three and one-half mile course at Jamaica Saturday afternoon. Jenkins covered the distance in the excellent time of 17 minutes. 32-2-5 seconds. Alvin Robertson of Eynder Childs high finished in second place, sixty yards in the rear, with Ivarad Moriarty of Richmond Hill High in third place. 75 yards in the wake of Robertson. Jenkins was the favorite for the race and lived up to expect him. He took the lead at the start and was never headed. The course was from Jamaica High School at Hillside and Union avenues along Hillside avenue to Park avenue through Hillcrest and the Jamaica Estates to the Union Turnpike, theme to Flushing road and along Flushing road to Hillside avenue, the finish being at the school. At the mile mark Jenkins had a leeway of thirty yards, with E. Wardrobe of Richmond Hill in second place, ten yards in front of I. Daly of Morris High.

NATIONAL LRAGHZ ON (Continues from page 1.1 things, and as a matter of fact, we find, according to the census, that Washington, the city which lives as it ought to, in all good ways, has 94,000 Negroes, New York 91,000, New Orleans 89,000, Philadelphia and Baltimore 84,000 each; Memphis has more 30,000.) There is one feature of the Negro in the city is very illiterate, and that is in the numerical cognition of the female element over the male element. In all cities we have a striking number of females over males. Now, what can be done for the people who are quitting to the city unprepared for the life in the city? In the first place we are to look after the health of these people. The death rate of the Negro population in the country is highly in excess of that of the whites. In the city the Negro death rate is alarming. Log cabins in the country are very superior to the tenements in New York; they admit more ventilation. The death rate of the Negro population would not be a serious economic problem, but the death rate always indicates a high sick rate. We should spend our time in equal divisions, eight hours for sleep, eight hours for work and eight hours for amusement or recreation. It is very encouraging to see that this league makes so much of the feature of music as a feature of entertainment. I want to stop here to say something about the female cases. Do you know that the colored woman has a world of vocational endowment? The work of such an organization as this should be directed largely toward the betterment of the women of these cities. The lot of the colored man is hard, but the lot of the colored woman is harder still. We should teach these city people the dignity and importance of regular systematic, efficient work. There is no such thing in this world as servile service, except that service is rendered in a servile spirit? In order to do the work planned by this league, you must have efficient workers. "I am glad to say that the colleges and universities of the country are interested enough in this great problem to take hold of the man farthest down. I am very glad to see that this organization is composed of members of both races, for both are equally concerned. It is a question of statesmanship and philanthropy." (continued from page 1.)
