VOL. XXVII No. 15. 'RACE IS DANCING ITSELF TO DEATH' The Rev. A. Clayton Powell Sounds Note of Warning in New Year's Sermon Dancing Was the Feature Even of the Recent Emancipation Celebration Held in New York City. Negro Called Upon to Support Business and Professional Man of the Race—A Plan for Modern Church Methods. "The Negro race is dancing itself to death," was the statement made by the Rev. A. Chayton. Powell, pastor of Abyssinia Baptist Church, while delivering his annual New Year's message last Sunday morning. The speaker maintained that at the recent Emancipation celebration held in New York the race could not even celebrate its fifty years of progress without advertising "Dancing every afternoon." "Our young people are too frivolous because they feed on too much trash," declared Dr. Powell. "You can see the effect of the Tango, the Chicago, the Turkey Trot, the Texas Tommy and ragtime music not only in their conversations but in the movement of their bodies about the home and on the street. Grace and modesty are becoming rare virtues." "The Negro race is dancing itself to death. We could not even celebrate our fifty years of progress without advertising 'dancing every afternoon.' A man from Africa who sat near me remarked, as he looked over the program: 'Dancing seems to be the special feature of this celebration; that is not a mark of progress, for the natives danced long before the Negro was brought to America.' Our leaders should turn the minds of the young into serious, sensible and wholesome channels, unless they want them to sing and dance all summer, like grasshoppers, and die in the winter with tuberculosis. "Going Forward" was the subject of Dr. Powell's sermon. In urging the race to support its business and professional men the speaker said: "There should also be a more general movement toward the support of our business and professional men. We made some progress in this direction last year, but the New Year should witness a greater progress. The colored man stands between two white men on Saturday. He receives his money from one and passes it to the other. The race problem will never be solved as long as Negroes talk race loyalty and race rights and then spend their money with white business and professional men. In New York, colored men are running grocery stores, meat markets, tea and coffee stores, drug stores, and a first class furniture store. Why not make the race commercially stronger by dealing with those men. Our doctors, dentists, and lawyers compare favorably with the average white men of these professions. The colored undertakers have every facility for servicing us in sadness, and during my twenty-two years in the pastorate, I have found them more accommodating and sympathetic than the majority of the undertakers of other races. As a rule, these white men to whom we give our money will not recognize us after we have enriched them, and too often they become the leaders in the spreading of color prejudice. "It is our privilege by the patronizing of our own to add at least $1,000,000 to the wealth of colored people in Harlem this year. The white man has forced us into separate lodges, christian associations, churches and even into separate communities in the large American cities. Now, we should force him out of the money-making business among us and force ourselves to patronize our own and thus build up strong race enterprises and strong race men. It was charged in a local paper that colored business men and professional men, as a rule, do not-support the preachers and churches of their own race. If this is true there ought to be a movement this year on the part of those men toward the church and the ministry, for the preacher is the best friend they have in the world. I am delighted to say from this pulpit that the business and professional men in this congregation heartily support the church and pastor. Furthermore, we should go forward in our church work. Many improvements were made last year, but there is still much room for progress." Dr. Powell advocated the organization of a men's club, debating team, reading circle and a social club. The speaker said so many people who want all the latest improvements in their homes and the latest fashions for themselves strenuously object to modernizing their church methods. CLASS OF YOUNG MEN. At the regular session of the Equity Congress, held Sunday afternoon at 89 W. 134 th street, Maj. Charles W. Fillmore, chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, made his report, covering the operations of the Congress from its initial efforts to secure a colored regiment to the final passage of the Kane bill. The report was signed by Charles H. Fillmore, James L. Curtis, P. C. James, Lee A. Pollard and P. Banks. The report contains the information that candidates are being examined weekly for officers in the colored regiment, and that to date twenty-two candidates have been notified to appear before the Board of Examiners, but only eleven have reported; that it is thought that many have ignored the summons to appear before the board owing to the rigidity of the examinations. However, of the eleven who have gone before the board all have done well but in two instances. In order to qualify the candidates an officers' school of instruction has been established and competent men have been placed in charge of the various branches of study. The warning is issued in the report that unless a higher class of young men avail themselves of the opportunity to secure commissions the Negro citizens will lose the regiment. Mention is made that in securing the regiment the State will be called upon to expend about $14,235 annually, which is the cost of maintaining the average armory in New York; armorer, $4 a day; janitor, $4 a day; engineer, $4; assistant engineer, $4; six skilled laborers, $3 a day each and an electrician at $5 a day. MARRIAGE OF STUDENT MAKES TROUBLE Special to The New York Asn. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 6.—Because he got married one of the students of Shaw University was dismissed from school by President Chas. F. Meserve. Incensed at this action a large number of the male students "cut" class last Friday and demanded the restoration of their classmate. The students held indignation meetings which were opened with prayer, and demanded the resignation of President Meserve. Members of the factuary were ignored. The students were given an ultimatum by the president in which he demanded their return to the class rooms by 3 o'clock today. The American Baptist Home Mission Society, which controls Shaw University, gave official notice today that it upheld the administration of President Meserve and endorsed his action. As the students failed to return to class rooms within the time limit set by the president, they are automatically expelled. Between two hundred and three hundred students are affected. RUST UNIVERSITY STUDENTS RAISE $1,000. Special to The New York Am. Holly Springs, Miss., Jan. 6.—One of the real progressive and wide-awake institutions for the training of Negro youth is Rust University, located at Holly Springs, Miss. The school is the oldest of the twenty-two Freedmen's Aid Society Schools operated by the Methodist Episcopal Church in the South, and has for the past forty-eight years exerted a powerful influence in the building of the race. The institution has just achieved one of its characteristic victories, a victory that has meant sacrifice and toil to both teachers and students. The students recently raised $1,000 as a jubilee offering. Last April, when it was proposed that the colored Methodist Episcopalians should raise $100,000 as a jubilee offering, the students of this school voluntarily proposed to raise $1,000 as their share. It was thought to be almost an impossible thing that students having but little means of their own and working hard for their education, many of them coming from poor homes, should be able to raise such a sum; but the students and faculty took up the problem with enthusiasm and in a spirit of self sacrifice, and on January 1 President Docking of the university announced that $1,050 had been raised and was in the bank. The announcement was made amid great enthusiasm. In this triumph, which had been largely won through the efforts and under the management of the students, great credit is due to the jubilee manager, W. L. Steele, and his faithful corps of co-workers. SUE CHINAMAN FOR A Chinaman has been made defendant in the first suit brought in Brooklyn by a colored citizen to test the legality of the Levy law, which became operative last September. In the First Municipal Court on July 14 Mortimer Harrison and Miss Wina Shackleton will appear against the proprietor of the Port Arthur Chop Suey Restaurant, 120 Flatbush avenue, for a violation of Chapter 265 of the Laws of 1913. The plaintiffs allege they entered the Chinaman's restaurant on December 18 and asked for chop suey, and that they were refused service because of their color. The court is asked to award each plaintiff $500. WANTED 10 BOYS in New York City to sell the Aor. Call at office for terms. Only reliable boys need apply. NEW YORK THE NEW YORK TIMES A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION—READ THE NEW YORK AGE CALLS UPON NEGROES TO UNITE FOR OWN GOOD Charles Edward Russell implores Colored People to Get Together SEGREGATION IS DENOUNCED Meeting Fifth in Auditorium of United Charities Building Monday Evening—Association Holds Annual Election. Between two and three hundred persons assembled in the auditorium of the United Charities Building, East 22d street, Monday night, the occasion being the annual public meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The meeting was presided over by Oswald Garrison Villard, chairman of the board of directors during 1913. Segregation was the main theme of the evening and was treated by Prof W. E. B. DuBois, who read a paper on "Farm Segregation in the South." Mrs. Belle C. LaFollette, wife of Senator Robert N. LaFollette, of Washington, who told of segregation in the District of Columbia, and Charles Edward Russell, recently Socialist candidate for Mayor of New York. Mr. Russell declared that the brotherhood of man was not a dream but a scientific fact, that all men were alike in body, brain, blood and heart, and that all racial differences were purely external. Referring to the segregation of government employees in Washington, Mr. Russell declared that in placing its seal on this monstrous infamy the hands upon the government clock were turned back fifty years. The speaker asserted with emphasis that he disagreed with Mr. Villard: that from his observation he did not believe segregation in the government departments had been checked, nor did he believe it would be checked. The remedy is for the Negro to lay aside every thought save the one of securing justice. There should be for the Negro no. Republican party, no Democratic party, no Socialist party, but he should unite solidly in the strength of ten million souls and stand for himself. During the afternoon the annual business session of the association was held, and after reports from branches were heard, officers were elected as follows: Directors—Elbridge L. Adams of New York, Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, Dr. C. E. Bentley of Chicago, the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop of New York, the Rev. W. H. Brooks of New York; Prof. W. E. B. DuBois of New York, Mrs. Florence Kelley of New York, Miss Mary White Ovington of Brooklyn, Charles Edward Russell of New York, John G Underhill of New York. The board held its session and elected officers as follows: Moorfield Storey of Boston, national president; the Rev. John Haynes Holmes of New York John E. M. Milholland of New York Archibald H. Grimke of Washington, the Rev. Garnett R. Waller of Baltimore and Miss Mary White Ovington of Brooklyn, vice-presidents; Dr. Joel E. Spingarn of New York, chairman of the board of directors; Oswald Garrison Villard of New York, treasurer; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, director of publicity and research; Chapin Brinsmade of New York, attorney; Miss May Childs Nerney of Brooklyn, secretary. THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1914. S RESOLUTION—READ THE NEV POPULAR HARLEM GIRL DIES OR PNEUMON After two weeks' illness Miss Florence Medocer, 19 years old, the only daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Joseph Medocer, 68 West 122nd street, and grounddaughter of Effie, and Mrs. S. C. Hutchinson, 18 West 134th street, died Friday morning, January 2, at 3:30 o'clock, of bronchial pneumonia. Miss Medocer was a student at the high school, a member of the senior class, and was to have graduated in February. She was an exceptionally brilliant girl and a promising pianist. Of a lovable character and charming A. disposition she was one of the most popular girls of the younger set and numbered her friends only by the number of her acquaintances. She was a faithful communicant at St. Philip's P. E. Church, was president of the St Agnes Clubs for Girls, and was formerly pianist for the Sunday School. Her services were frequently asked and freely rendered at the various social activities of the St. Christopher and other organizations of the church. She will be sorely missed by the young folks of that organization. Her musical studies were under the direction of Miss Helena C. Smith. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from St. Philip's Church, the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector, officiating. Wm. C. Perry, undertaker, had charge of the arrangements. The St. Agnes girls and St. Christopher boys went first, each boy bearing an armful of the flowers with which the casket was covered. Upon reaching the outside door the boys halted and formed two lines through which the funeral cortege passed in leaving the church. It was a beautiful tribute from the boys to their friend and associate. The pall-bearers were Edward Herbert, Wm. Madden, James Cornick, Raymond Hargrove, Lacy Harris, Pred Lowery. The body was enclosed in a metallic casket, covered with white silk plush, and the interment vault in St. Philip's ground at Cypress Hill Cemetery. AFFAIR PRE-EMINENT The CHARITY BALL JANUARY 21, 1914 At Manhattan Casino Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 6.—The radical Southern Democrats, who are playing a prominent part in running the Government under the Wilson Administration, are highly incensed because at least one person in "official" Washington, and a woman at that, has had the temerity to criticize them for their "Jim Crow" and other un-American policies which are making the United States the laughing stock of other nations. Many Southerners have even canceled their subscriptions for Senator La Follette's magazine because of the attitude of his wife, but Mrs. La Follette continues to upbraid the Southerners for their viciousness just the same. Mrs. La Follette's argument has been that segregation of colored people in street cars, other conveyances, and in the departments, is entirely wrong, and that it is to the credit of the colored people that they had arisen en masse in protest. She advises Negroes to keep up their fight, and says there will be no constitution of peace until the question is settled and settled in the right way. Mrs. La Follette, at a recent antisegregation meeting held in Washington, said that she had written several articles for her husband's magazine about the colored people of Washington, and that many Southerners had then canceled their subscriptions. "I see no reason why we will eat food prepared by colored cooks, have (Continued on page 7) A LARGER PATRONAGE OF HARLEM LIBRARY ASKED. In an address before the Conference of Workers among Boys and Girls at Salem M. E. Church on Monday, December 29, Miss G. Cohen, librarian of the New York Public Library at 103 West 135th street, was reputed to have criticized the Negro newspapers for the publishing of articles deficient in moral tone, declaring that no Negro paper was in the files of the library because of that deficiency. An Acz representative called on Miss Cohen and made inquiry concerning the alleged statement. Miss Cohen said that while in her speech she had spoken rather broadly concerning the Negro papers, it was not true that she had criticised their moral tone. She declared herself as being sincere in her desire to work for the betterment of the colored people and she thought it possible for Negro papers to help more largely by articles of general uplift than by the general news articles which partook in many cases of the sensational. Miss Cohen was frank to acknowledge, however, that after looking over a copy of THE ACK, she found that her idea concerning Negro papers was wrong and based on a lack of information and understanding of the conditions. She at once made arrangements to place THE ACK on the files of the library. Miss Cohen is willing to cooperate with all elements in advancing the race interest, and hopes that the adult Negroes of Harlem will take advantage more largely of the facilities of the library over which she presides. The new officers of the Conference of Workers were in charge of the meeting for the first time. It was largely attended by representatives of churches, neighborhood clubs and social organizations. The conference is affiliated with the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. At the election held December 8 the following officers were elected: The Rev. F. A. Cullen, president; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, vice-president; Miss Eva. G. Burleigh, secretary; Mme. Fannie De-Knight, treasurer. GREEK LETTER SOCIETY GREEK LETTER SOCIETY MEETS IN CAPITAL CITY.

Crummey, who was appointed referee by Justice Gavegan of the Supreme Court to investigate the business transactions conducted by John R. Gleed in the interest of Ruth Memorial Church, has made his report in which Gleed has been found guilty of conversion and fraud. John R. Gleed died at Mt. Sinai Hospital Sunday, December 21, after a short illness. Referee Safford recommends that judgment be entered in favor of Rush Memorial Church and against Gleed for $7,927.01, with interest, and further holds that the church is entitled to a lien of $2,000, with interest, on property at 59-63 W. 140h street, which was owned by Gleed. The referee's report grew out of a suit for an accounting brought by Rush Memorial Church against Gleed, the allegation being made that Gleed converted to his use the property of the church in East 117th street, while acting as the church's real estate broker. Counsehr Charles E. Toney of 80 Wall street, represented Rush Memorial Church in the legal proceedings. Has Largest Circulation DR. P. A. JOHNSON DIES ON JAN. 1 DR. P. A.

Evans of Yonkers, charges that a false attack was made on him in best week's issue by Bishop Hood, and makes the following reply: Kindly permit me to correct the false attack made on me by Bishop Hood in his article of last week. Enable to deny or refute the force of our argument in our article of December 4, Bishop Hood, after four long weeks of preparation comes back with an article that avails the learn altogether, but seeks to set up new evidence as the grounds on which he preempted Teenagers church into its present episode. In his article to The Age, November 21, the Bishop specifically said his petition was based on the law and the directionary power helped in him. In our article of December 4, we deemed that the Bishop had any such directionary power, or that the case was Be men rn RUBE) SOR Oey Tea hon, as SRS a geeraetiges ce Le eek MOR a RP ARE SRS RE Re TNT 3 es : * Moe Paes : eS Fae EN AO een ee cane eng | TESE AY ge SS te ; ‘cman MEW TORE Aan SONIDAY, JANUARY 8 BOA 20. ee ae einai east ene eeendines tate Oem. —- eat ‘from under him, the wovtees back, In bis efforts to aS pion on watce To stand, "wien 6 pened! attack oo us. tle amusing Hieotiee that almost at the outect of thie article, the Bishop makes the starting revelation that he ts not “in- Sikteie® “We eee mo reason for this late cenfension, unless it be that the Bishop ts -sccking sn immunity beth, for a mumber of tainlaters Doth North ané South, have long since testified of hele Bitter experience of the Bishop's Meoeetii. iat potty tase cvuceenoa may be material in opening the eyes of sees of bie blind followers who. etil thimk their “King can do no wrong.” ‘This article of Bishop Hood ts a true Medex of ite writer, in that it presents the gorilla method of fighting.

ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE NEGROES IS THWARTED eet. See Bee Kiowa, Kans. Jan. 6.—The attemp' of a number of aarrow-minded white persons of this iown to exclude Negroes as residents has not met with the ap- proval of Gov. Hodges, whe, in a letter to one of the prejudiced citixens, an- ‘nounced himself as unalterably opposed to discrimination of any kind on ac- count of color. Recently Gov. Hodges paroled. from the Kansas Penitentiary Ollie Turner, a colored woman, who was given 2 Position as domestic in the home of one‘of the leading citizens of Kiowa Not log. after Ollie Turner bad taken up residence in Kiowa her employer received threatening letters, and was in- formed that a petition had been circu- lated to force Mim to discharge his colored servant, as the residents did not want any Negroes in the town. _ The employer wrote to Gov. Hodges informing the executive of the threaten- ing letters. The Governor was told that Ollie Turner had been kindness itself, that she was the best domestic he ever had, and that she attended strictly tc her ‘owa business.

The colored people of the United States have few things, indeed, to be thankful for and to remember as public benefits as the summing up of the gains and losses of the year 1913. From a public point of view, from the viewpoint of citizenship benefits, they have lost much and gained little, as the result of the restrictive policy of the Democratic party in power at Washington has set the pace for race discrimination in high and low places against us, and the small wigs everywhere have fallen over themselves in imitation of the big wigs. That is the way of the world, and therein is to be found the terrible responsibility which President Wilson has taken upon himself as an obligation as President of the whole people which they will have to face in some national crisis of the future. The colored people have great cause to be thankful that the lynching record has steadily declined since 1908 and that it reached its lowest point since 1885 last year, as gathered by the Chicago Tribune, which has just now furnished the following annual announcement on the subject: The number of lynchings in 1912 in the smallest on record since 1885, when those statistics were began. The total number in but forty-three lynchings compared with sixteen in 1885, when the number of lynchings was fourteen. The last twenty-nine years may be of great interest, as the subject of lynchings a matter of State and national concern. It is significant of the unhealthy condition of the administration of justice in the Southern States that of the total number of lynchings forty-four took place in the Southern States and only four in the Northern States, and that of the forty-four only seven were provoked by the alleged "usual crime," rage, while there were twenty-eight for alleged murder. The question, then, has simply been reduced to irresponsible lawlessness, in which the legal authorities have allowed the mob wrathers to do their dirty work and exorcised them from prosecution after their unwieldy acts. Such a record continues, deeply and bluntly, the lynching of justice enacted by public opinion. That this need not be the case was simply shown by the determined action of the State of Virginia in punishing the Alam, Flint and Edwards mountain diemans who shot up the Hilliard County Museum, in Cavell County, and were remorselessly bound to the post-apartheid and the gulah. Where there is a will there is always a way. We say the unlawful people come to be grazed for the falling off in the lynching record, because they have been the last born the principal victims. Taking for his text President Wilson's statement that "There is but one cloud upon our horizon," Col. George Harvey, the editor of the North American Review, in the January number, discusses "The President's Vision" from the Democratic viewpoint with a frankness we appreciate, and which the President must deem one of "the most unkindest cuts of all." Col. Harvey says: Turning our eyes from the blightness upon the southern horizon to which the President refers, what do we behold? A really cloudless sky? If seemingly not, what are the purposes to be recognized, to the end that evil may be sorted? May put more to national well-being in prohibition such as these: Here surely are clouds to be dispelled if the Republic, as imagined by its founders, is to endure. But are they as dark with foreboding as they seem to be? May we not hope that, a year hence, they will have been effectively dispersed under the wise and firm guidance of a far-fitted Chief Magistrate? Consider in turn Let us here consider with Col. Harvey the first specification only, "Subversion of the Constitution," a tendency toward which President Wilson and the Democratic party in the Congress appears to be pursuing with the fatality that makes for certain disaster. On the question of primary elections, Col. Harvey says: "I feel confident," said the President to the Congress, "that I do not misinterpret the wishes or the expectations of the country when I urge the prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary elections throughout the country, at which the voters of the various parties may choose their nominee for the Presidency without the intervention of nominating convention"—and the Democratic Congress cheered loudly. It was a play to the People, to the Masters, to the Majority; it was appropriated boldly from the Progressives and was thought to be popular. That was all, but that was enough. The merits and demiestis—for some there are—of the proposal called for no objection. To mind of the President, and apparently to minds of the Democratic in Congress, it was a subject which the President believed could be "handled promptly and without controversy of any kind." Therein, as the attitude manifested by the press quickly showed, he erred. The revolution may be effected, but clearly not "without controversy of any kind." Too many persons, as sincere and patriotic as Mr. Wilson himself, gravely question both the adviability and the practicability of a change tending so pointedly from representative government to a pure democracy. So, too, in our judgment, will misgivings arise in the minds of those cheering Southern Democrats when once they awake to the fact that Federal supervision of nominations inevitably involves Federal supervision of elections. Universal Presidential primary" may come, perhaps should come—we are not now discussing the proposition—but if so they will be realized through State, not through national legislation. The South will see to that. Nothing finer out of Junius could be found than the resounding statement that "the South will see to that." Will it? This nation, for the time being, is ruled by the South, it is true; but it is true because the voters opposed to the Democratic party and policies were divided and not united in the last elections. We are bound to have primary elections for the nominees for the Presidency, the country being committed to that reform, and if for the Presidency then surely for members of the Senate and the Congress; and if the nominations are authorized to be made by primary vote the control of the elections, which the Constitution authorizes, by primary vote will follow as logically as night follows day, and the South will not be able to prevent it. When all this is authorized by law one Southern white vote will count for no more than one Northern vote, and the unnatural predominance of the Democratic Southern States, with their disfranchised colored and indifferent white voters, will be at an end. It may require a Constitutional amendment to accomplish all of this, as Col. Harvey suggests, but it will be accomplished, three-fourths of the States proposing and concurring in it, the Southern States protesting got-withstanding. That much is certain. This nation, the free electorate of the citizenship, will not always allow the prostitution of the election machinery of the Southern States by its white Democracy, which has been true since 1876, when usurpation based upon a reign of terror and murder first became triumphant in American politics. "The South will see to that" has the genuine ring of the old rebel yell in it, but the terrors have gone out of it. There is another phase of the matter which Col. Harvey and other political wise men overlook in figuring out that the political oligarchy that now rules the Southern States and dominates the National Democratic party, as it has done since 1876, has an eternal grip on the Southern election machinery and the national Democratic party. This phase of the matter is simply this: There is growing up a political sentiment in the Southern States that the race issue has been overworked by the dominant Democratic machine for selfish purposes, to keep itself in power, and that the business interests of the South should have first place in their politics rather than manufactured sentiment that disturbs the relations of the races unnecessarily and thus weakens rather than strengthens the industrial and commercial eficiency of both races. These people are the business men, the farm owners, the landlords who build and rent, of both races. They may not soon get what they want of honest treatment of the race question and honest representation of their best interests in the State legislatures and the Federal Congress, but they will get it in the end. For the moment they are drawing together unconsciously, it may be, in church and educational work and in business and politics; that is the obvious tendency and when the time is ripe they will make themselves felt and heard. The substantial white and colored people of the South in all occupations are drawing closer together because of their property and business interests which are persistently misrepresented and antagonized by the dominant Democratic machine. 1.

While the Tribune's report was being printed broadcast over the land last week the Governor of Maryland was rushing troops to Chestertown, in Kent County, to protect the jail in which five Negroes were confined, charged with the murder of a rich farmer, and which a mob had repeatedly attempted to reach and lynch, and which the resolute sheriff had prevented them from doing. Two of the five, boys fifteen and seventeen years of age, it is alleged, confessed to the murder, but if the mob could have reached the five it would have lynched them all. Mobs are built that way. What the sheriff of Kent County did in standing off the mob the sheriff of every Southern county can do in a like situation. Why don't they do it? Because the public opinion, that elects and sustains them in office is not only corrupt but murderous. Let us hope that such public opinion will continue to diminish, and that we shall have fewer lynchings even at the end of 1914 than we have at the end of 1913. That is a simple question, and many persons may think that it is a foolish one, but it is not. It has taken nineteen hundred and thirteen years to establish the Christian home, with the husband as the responsible head of the house. In millions of homes in the United States and Europe, and wherever there are Christian homes in Asia and Africa, there have been massive strife over this question, which was definitely settled as far as the Christian people are concerned when King Ahasanus decreed, because of the refusal of Quaen Vanki to obey his command to appear in state before the nobles of his kingdom, that "all the wives shall give to their husbands, both great and small," "and that every man should bear rule in his own house." Esther, we all know, was selected to be queen in the place of Vashti. What became of ex-Queen Vashti the record does not state, but the sort of queen Esther made all Christian children know. If all of the women who try to boss their bushands nowadays, and make their homes anything but a Paradise on earth, were treated as Queen Vashi was, wouldn't there be wailing and grashing of teeth in the land? The theory of the law in all Christian lands is that the husband is the head of the house, but there are complications in the application of the theory that keep the courts busy over many things growing out of the domestic relation. The Federal Treasury Department has helped to settle the question in favor of the husband, in its regulations for the collection of the income tax, when it rules, among other things, what The husband as the head and legal representative of the husband should hold the tenor of its income should make and render the return of the aggregate income of himself and wife and for the purpose of levying the tax that he may ancertain the total amount of said income. under an arm of all three flames when the privilige to vote has been given them; but the ruling will stand unless the Federal Supreme Court reverses it, and if it should do so, then the bottom will gradually drop out of the Christian house in the United States.

OTHELLO OF MUCH LIGHTER HUE was, in short, a distinguished artist, interesting tour de force, although not, even in this way that less accomplished, but more naturally fitted players might succeed in realizing it, the real Othello. (From the New York Times) Unlike Hamlet, who may be fat or lean—and the commentators have argued themselves black in the face upon the point—Othello is one of those Shakespearean roles which seems most to demand a definite physical equipment. His speech and action, whether in moments edgentile seetilite, brawny, handsome of jealousy and naughty, are in bola. He is a sort of Shakespearean superman of grand passions. And for his complete interpretation he demands more brawn than brain. Mr. Forbes-Robertson, on the other hand, is essentially an actor of the intellect, with a sensitive, sympathetic organism capable of very definite and action, though not without fire and motion, his best effects are produced through processes that suggest a ruling mentally in the man. That is one of the things which makes his Hamlet extraordinary. And it is exactly that which prevents his Othello from satisfying his love for her through a contemplation of the tragedy in which the Moor is the central, systematic figure. It was Mr. Tree who objected not so long ago to an allusion to a gentlemanly Othello. And Forbes-Robertson, one fancier, would be equally distressed to have his Othello referred to in that way. But there were moments in his life in which he resented with Dodemon when the Moor's gentleness was so much emphasized that the description seemed to fit. This is not so say, however, that Mr. Forbes-Robertson's Othello lacks interest. It is always worth while watching a battle against big odds. And in this role all the oddars are in the actor. Moor takes to the ascendance the physical type his Qthello, to be in any sense symbolic, has to suggest a complete reversal of the natural endowment. And this in a sense it does. So the net result is an artistic accomplishment, if not a wholly satisfying one. Where it was least satisfactory is in the comma in question, which when rightly produced serve to sweep the spectator off his mental pins, as, indeed, they are supposed to affect the actual characters in the scenes. But one misses here the swift rush of events, the big pulse of passion, the crashing crescendo with which "Othello" once the Moor, is thundered thanks its way to the tragic document. When an Othello of sufficient physical granduer holds the stage the alternate passages in which Iago batches his plots and tells you all about them have the virtue of relieving the mental tension. When the Othello has a good piece, your Iago mentally unleashes, your Iago happens to be a wonderfully flicker himself, these same scenes may seem tediously detailed. To be quite candid, then about last night's performance, it must be admitted that it was not sufficiency impressive, to bite deeply into the emotions of those to whom the most important officer was also too, in spite of the fact that Mr. Forbes-Robertson played such a scene as that in which Iago first instills the prison of suspicion with a far surer touch of truth than it ordinarily receives. One got here a superb expression of the development of distrust and of the simple mind battling with suspicion. It was often eloquent, not infrequently moving, but never overpowering. Of course, such a speech as that which Othello makes to the Senators was read in most admirable fashion, and the readings generally were such as one might expect from this master of English, William Shakespeare. But most of william Shakespeare still can prefer this actor's Hamlet to his Othello, to any of the Shakespearean roles, in fact, in which he has seen fit to disclose himself. (From the New York Sun.) There are few standards for comparison on the American stage today since "Othello" has all but dropped out of the active repertoire of our theatre. Robert Mantell plays it, and there are occasional representations of the lyric drama which Gluseppi Verdi built on the foundation of the tragedy by William Shakespeare. He has not yet taken the part into his repertoire, although two productions, one by William Faversham and the other by James K. Hackett, are announced for the near future. It was inevitable that Forbes-Robertson should accentuate that Anglo-Saxon characteristic of the Moon which has been declared the essential nature of every heyday in peace and country he may have been selected by the dramatist. It was the actor who emphasized the African element of the character, or perhaps implanted it there, who was the most famous, of recent Othellos, although he stood as remote as possible from the actor seen last night in his interpretation of the character, the American Slavic in who arrested his American public more in his performance of the Moor of Venice than in any other role, whatever critical opinion may have said or thought of his violently tragic way of ending the play. The futility of critical expression is well shown by the complete identification of the Italian actor today with a par with he intertwined with the traditions of his race, and not, it may be said, in the least as the commentators on the tragedy would have it played. Since Salvin there has been no Othello, who most of all impressed himself on the public in this tragedy. That it should so infrequently be played is a striking contrast to the situation in the theatre that existed when within a season, audience might witness Footh, Barrett, McCulloch, possibly in some visiting of eminence in addition to the smaller fry. So has the taste for tragedy declined that Mr. Mantell remains in possession at present of a practical monopoly of the part. If Forbes-Robertson was last night so strongly, Anglo-Raxon as it has been said that Shakespeare made every one of his character, he lost nothing through the simplicity which he imparted to the role. His grace and beautiful voice, his grace and the impressive pictorial quality of his performance were all characteristics to be expected by those familiar with his methods. Just as he seemed, in A MODERN OTHELLO DEVOTEES of the drama have, in the past, fancied Othello, the principal character in one of Shakespeare's great plays by that name, a big, black Moor, one intensely ardent and violent in his love-making, and more the product of semi-barbarism than of cultured environment. But of late there seems to be a tendency to change the physical and mental makeup of this renowned stage character—an inclination to represent Desdemond's lover with a face less dusky in hue than in former days, and possessing a polish and gentility of manner that would do credit to a Chesterfield. But the public and the press do not seem to take kindly to this modern Othello, as was evidenced a short time ago when Mr. Forbes-Robertson, the English actor, appeared in "Othello" at the Shuben Theatre. Forbes-Robertson is an actor of marked ability, yet with his artistic accomplishments he was not convincing in his role, due to his "Twentieth Century interpretation," which portrayed Othello as a refined gentleman and whose complexion was much lighter than that of our erstwhile Othello. The critics on the daily papers expressed themselves on this "modernized Othello" as follows: (From the New York World.) Of late years performances of "Othello" have been infrequent on the New York stage and the few actors who have appeared in a trivial figure of its massive, infinitely pathetic story have proved themselves inadequate to its heavy demands. There has been no great English-themed embodiment in the role since the time of Edwin Booth. But Otello, as an acting role, is not congenial to Mr. Forbes-Robertson's finest abilities. The intellectuality and imaginative power of the actor, which contributed to his triumph as Hamlet, tend to defeat his powers in the role of the Mourn Physically he is not cast in the mood of the soldier. To the extent that it succeeds it depends upon his great technical proficiency and the beauty with which he reads its passionate poetry. So intellectual an actor could not miss the right ideal of the character. This Moor, frail in physique, is magnanimous, courageous, dignified, trustful and gentle. The lust of animal passion does not enter into his love for the world, as it does in the soldier-lover the seed of suspicion in sown. The ellohe is slow to believe the contemptible tale of his wife's infidelity. But once suspicion enters his mind, his soul is corroded with the passion of jealousy. It impels him in the end to the murder of Desdemona, not in cruel revenge, but as a holy sacrificial duty in the absence of bishum or bishum of disgustishes and elevates to the plans of great tragedy this actor's embodiment of the character. But the plausibility of the Moor's passion of jealousy must depend upon the subtle malignancy and incarnate evil of lago. Unfortunately for Mr. Forbes-Robertson's present revival, his company does not contain an actor who approaches the demands this insidious instrument of incarnate wickedness. (From the New York Tribune.) There was more than usual curiosity in the air at the Shubert Theatre last evening, when the trumpets sounded Othello's entrance, and Forbes-Robertson finally strode on the scene. Of all Shakespearean plays, this distinction hardly likely to attempt, this was perhaps the furthest from his natural habit and personality. The essentially civilized quality of his whole manner, look and speech—all this seemed at the uttermost pole from the tempestuous animalism of this simple-minded barbarian. I did figure this Othello remained, always striking and pictureque in its gentle, more statueque moments, always impressive. The Moor of Shakespeare is something other than a pictureque status, however, or even the perfectly imagined and intelligently expressed counterpart of an animated gentleman who, in his own shape, could never, by any stretch of fancy, be seen as indulging in them himself. There is no need of splitting hair over this rough soldier of fortune He had his mobility, to be sure the sobility of a stick, and indoors a man, driver, head first in simple-minded tauvise fashion, at the first red flag Iraq trailed in front of him. Of the Moor as Iago hit him off in his contemptuous descriptions to his early listeners "thick lips," the old black ram, "Barbary horse" and so on, there was Robertson's performance last evening. Doubtless, he, himself, would be the last to suggest that any one expect it. There were beautifully delivered times—the "She loved me for the dangers" he had passed" speech, especially a succession of vivid pictures, an expression of mind and such visual expression of these emotions as an art of Forbes-Robertson's accommodation technique is capable of. It (From the New York Times.) (From the New York Sun.) spite of his swarthy skin, spiritual in nature rather than the worldly warrior, so was his love for Desdemona free from animalism, although she had the intense devotion of a religion, and he denoted heartbroken grief with the deep despair of one who had not only lost the object of his heart's affection, but of his faith. Thus his outbreaks of passion seemed to come less than that they brightened also his wife than his soul's belief, so has the actor spiritualised the character of Othello by his manager of acting it. He was never lacking in the expression of yearning, tenderness, sentimental perhaps, but the actor sentimentalizes so much that does not, but nevertheless strong and manly. In no more striking way did he show his elevated passion for his white wife than in the eagerness with which his affection bubbled up again whenever there was opportunity for a renewal of his faith in the woman he held in such high and idolatrous ecstasy that he escaped the character and its fine civilization by Forbes-Robertson that led so logically to the murder. It, was no cyclonic vengeance on the slighted vanity of a blackamoor spouse. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE SMART SRT CO.—Vincennes, Ind. Jem. 11; Nashville, Tenn. 14; Decatur, Auburn, 15.

At the beginning of the Alpha-Si Christopher game I could see that Big Five was not herself. After a few minutes' play Big Five scored the first basket, then the Red and Black "Machine" scored, and then they see-sawed until near the end of the half, when the "Machine" forged ahead. At the end of half the score was 11 to 8 in favor of the Red and Black "Machine". There were eleven fouls in this half, men on the "Machine" and four on Big Five. Of these, two bad Baj Thomas missed six and "Babe" Wiggs one. For the "Machine", Bradd rd missed two and scored one. Perkinson scored one. Now with the score in favor of the "Babe" I still had confidence in Big Five, thinking they would come back in the second half and play in their old-time form, although the two "Babe" were off in their playing. With the score three points in favor of St. Christopher, the St. C. rooters were wild with enthusiasm. While the Alpha supporters had felt that Big Five had not struck her stride, they were still defiant, feeling assured that the boys would come back for the second half and play the game which they are well capable of putting up. During this time there were many who tried to get even money that Alpha would win, but there was nothing doing. The C. C. backers were still asking for odds, the time is up, and the teams are on the for-turning up for the second half. And both teams took fresh with the exception of "Babe" Thomas, who looks a bit worried: to me he seemed to be doped. "Babe" Wiggins also has a weird look. I watched the play and saw that they were not doing any better than they did in the first half. With eleven more minutes to play time was called out. It was now that Big Five's captain realized that a change must be made, for it was only Billy Lucas that was playing his game; the other four were not playing their game at all. Big Five makes a change, Capers out, Sing Goode back to guard, "Babe" Thomas center and Dash to play forward with "Babe" Wiggins. Dash is a good fast man. And now things looked a bit better, for Big Five was certainly hitting her stride. St. C. has changed two men, Lowery for Rose and Charlie Green for Robbins. Both teams are working fast, and it is telling on the St. C. boys. They call time out. It is now only three and a half minutes to play. St. C. is only two points ahead. The ball is put in play again at center and Alpha gets the ball, works it toward her basket and the ball is outside. St. C. passes in and the ball is worked toward their basket. A pass to Perkinson and he makes one of the best shots I have ever seen. But just before this a foul was called on Alpha and Perkinson shoots and scores. Big Five is trying hard to score at this period of the game. The timer's whistle blows, which finishes game with the score 24 to 19 in favor of St. Christopher Reed and Black "Machine". The last in an uproar, the St. C. rooters went jumping over the floor like mad Indians. Speaking of the game, it was a good fast game, but whoever saw Big Five play knows quite well that Big Five did not play their game; they were away off form when it came to shooting. The St. C. boys played the game of their life. Perkinson is a wonder, shooting from all angles, fast and plucky. Rose is a good hard player. All white boys are as a rule; they have a better chance to learn the game in the schools. Bradford played the game as he never played before, he jumped well and was good in his shooting; some drilling to get that form. What say, old Brad? Accoe played a good guard game, although he is inclined to commit many fouls. Robbins, the new guard, may know the game, but he has to be nimbled up some; he seems a little stiff and also timid. Lowery, another good forward, plays a good fast game, and Charlie Green the best guard St. C.'s have, only he is light, was put in in the last part of the game and did his bit. Lowery also played in the last part of the game. And I might say right here that these three men—Green, Lowery and Perkinson—are the best of Madden's lightweights. They cannot play any team over 135-pound average with a 140-pound limit; that is, they are not allowed to play a man over 140 pounds. A new rule. And yet Mr. Madden will play these men with his heavy team, were they to have to play a man weighing from 150 to 175 pounds. Then these men ought to be classed as first-team men. I heard an argument the other afternoon about Alpha out-weighing St. Christopher by 30 pounds. This is all nonsense. Do not think that Alpha out-weighs at all; if she does it is by very little. The weight of team is the first five men on the team of the subs. The St. Christians have in Mr. Jeff Wetzler of E. R. C 188 a good coach. Mr. Wetzler has turned out some of the best teams of the Evening Recreation Centers, winning the championship five years in succession. And the St. C. boys have certainly improved under his zealous coaching. There is not very much to be said about Alpha Big Five only that Billy Lucas played his old game. The other members of the team were off. Dash showed up well. The last ten minutes of the game were very exciting, full of ginger, and good fast snappy passes. In all stages of the game Alpha outpassed the Christopher team, while C. made the shot. In the shot, "Babe" Thomas was away off, it is true; but say what you will, when "Babe" is off it seems as though every other man on the team is off, for his playing always lends encouragement to Big Five, and unless the other team see "Babe" in the game they figure they (BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN.) We beat Alpha with confidence and brain work. This, coupled with speed, was the cause of the lowering of the colors blue and white. Alpha, too, was confident, which is no more than right, because they have a great team—one that stands with the best—but they were over confident, which is almost as bad as having no confidence at all. St. Christopher went into the game to win without any-ifs or ords, and she won. As always, Alpha out-weighed St. Christopher, but what lacked in weight we made up in speed. Now, let us take up the work of the individual players. Bradford at center played the game of his life. He outplayed and out-jumped Goode until they had to take the Alpha boy out and switch Thomas to center. Goode is one of, if not the, best players on "Big Five," but he couldn't hold Bradford in this game, as the St. C. boy was playing championship ball. Perkinson, as the "Tiger" forward, was easily one of the stars of the game, especially on account of his size and weight. Of course the little fellow the "Tiger" team would have been no match for "Big Five," but with such heavy support as Bradford, Accoe, Rose, Robbins and Hargrove behind him he was able to play the kind of basketball that brings the crowds to their feet with cheer after cheer. This same condition stands for Lowry, Harding or any other "Tiger" whom I care to use, as this little team is without an equal at its weight. Perkinson was all over the court, showing a world of speed and piling up 13 points for his team. Bradford came next, scoring 9 points. Accoe and Bobbins did good work at guards, but Accoe can still do better work, and has done it, and it is only a matter of time when he will be recognized as one of the best guards in the country. Robbins was the cause of much attention on account of his being one of St. C.'s new men. He gave a good account of himself, but was taken out toward the end of the game and Charlie Green substituted in his place. The reason for this was that a fresh man in the person of Dash was sent in by Alpha, so St. Christopher did the same to hold the new man down, and it was only natural that this man would be Green, because it is known fact throughout basketball circles that Dash would rather have any other guard playing against him than Charlie Green. Rose, one of the big forwards of the "Machine," played his game with all his strength and courage and with the exception of one play worked with Perkinson like clockwork. Lowry, the "Tiger" center, also did good work at forward. Hargrove did not play in this annual game because he is suffering from a bad knee and I wouldn't take any chances with him as long as the line-up I was using was winning the game. Hargrove is too good a man to have hurt permanently, and this is the first time in the history of Alpha-St. Christopher games that he has not been in the line-up; but, as I said before, I wasn't taking any chances unless it was absolutely necessary. Capers of Alpha had to be taken out and Goode was swung to his place, with Thomas taking Goode's place and flash taking Thomas', Up until this time there had been no change in either team, but "Big.Five," seeing the game was going against them, were the first to make the change. It was at this stage of the game that "Babe" Thomas cut loose and did some quick scoring that almost tied the score, but St. Christopher quickly settled down and forged further ahead, holding her safe lead until the end. I must say that Alpha had several chances to score which were due to how closely by St. Christopher, but they missed them which no doubt was or account of nervousness and the way St. Christopher was pressing them at every point. Thomas scored 7 points for Alpha. Altogether it was a great game, and will go down in basketball history at one of the classes. New York's most representative people and all society were out to the number of over 2000 In closing I might say that this annual game between Alpha and St. Christopher is the biggest thing in the basketball world. It is the meeting of the two strongest local teams. I was confident of the victory of my team, not only from sentiment and club spirit but from my inside information and knowledge of their ability. I knew they were ready. Right now the St. Christopher basketball squad is passing through the process of management (I say this in all modesty) and coaching that is obtainable and easily achieved this to show why they defeated Alpha "Big Five" and why we fully expect to take the heavyweight championship of the East, and also retain the lightweight championship. Another factor in the victory of the red and black was the mighty support of that incomparable cheering section. I might mention an example of club spirit in stating that Fred Johnson came all the way from Savannah, Ga. and Clarence West from Springfield. Mass., to witness their team fight it out with Alpha. Also after the game telegrams were sent to many St. Christopher men out of town, such as President George F. Clayton, Washington, D. C.; Andrew Bishop, "Eddie" Brown and Cassie Norwood, in Georgia; Samuel H. Branch, Bayonne, N. J., and Ed Gray, formerly of Howard University. This is the kind of spirit that makes teams win, or to die fighting to hold up their colors. have a set up. I do not in any way mean that the others do not play as good a game, for they do. And I will close by saving. Look out for the next time these two teams meet in February, as I feel positive that Alpha will win. I did not write this to cause any feeling or any controversy, so please do not misunderstand me. 59th St. THEATRE 313 W., 59th St. NEW YORK WILLIAM MACK FELTON, Manager.

However, Bert Williams, by appearing at Keith's this week, will "break the ice" for other classy colored turns. BOSTON THEATRE OPENS. The New Back Bay Theatre was opened last week in Boston under the management of the Michael Amusement Company in a musical comedy entitled "Twenty Minutes in ELL" written by James Arthur Conley and staged by William Carrington.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE Vaudeville and motion pictures are again being featured at the Lafayette Theatre, and if the management continues to present as entertaining bills as was furnished the first half of the week it should not be long before there is a noticeable it crease in the patronage of the house. The most artistic hit of the bill was made by Jerome & Lewis, who have an act of big-time caller. They ought to make good any time and anywhere Jerome & Lewis pay particular attention to their wardrobe, and they use good judgment in not trying to do comedy, employing their singing, voices to get the applause. Morgan Chester & Company is another act which can travel in fast company, which the company presents a dramatic sketch which tells a human interest story, and the actors portray their roles with much vividness. Claude Winfrey is doing a single turn, and there is no reason why he should not make-good in vaudeville by himself.

The small but appreciative crew that witnessed the contest felt we repaid for their trip to the alley, shown by the way they rooted in their different favorites. The two veteran bowlers, Dr. Beckman and Mr. Cohen, were other cooer respectively, and showed little of the game has escaped since they stopped bowling a couple of years ago. The handicapping was adjusted as to give every man the same possible chance to win the first prize as was shown in first one man coming to the front only to be replaced in the next frame by someone else and he, in turn, was replaced by someone else when the last game, when Lester framed on a scratch, came through and was first prize, while Mr. Wright just nosed Bell out of second prize by one pin.

Judging from the interest shown in the Howard-Hampton game, to be played on Friday evening, January 16 at Manhattan Casino, a large crowd will be on hand to witness the contest. It will be the first time that either quin has played in New York and the visitors are expected to put up a rattling good game in order to show the local teams that they know something about basketball. The preliminary game will be played between Salem Crescent and Smart Set.

"If you own your own conveyance you can invite whom you choose to ride with you, but on a public car and in other public places all lines of distinction and caste must be disregarded, and rich and poor, employer and employee, and white and black, must ride together. "The civil service is a department of the Government, and it is a shame that a Government should put its stamp of authority upon such unjust measures against a civilizing people. There are 11,000 colored civilians employed by the Government, and they won their places on their merits. Why should they be subjected to indignities? This race, numbering 10,000,000, is without a representative in Congress." ELIZABETH, N. J. Elizabeth, N.
