WANT A NEGRO GUARDIAN NAMED Wholesale Protests Against Sarah Rector Having White Protector In Oklahoma Probate Judges Only Appoint Negroes When Colored Child's Property Is Of No Value. UNFAIR METHODS CHARGED Warning Given That Unless Negro Organizations, Etc., Interfere Many Negroes Will Be Robbed. Special to The New York Age MUSCOGE, Oklan, Feb. 3—Until about six months ago the name of Sarah Kector was hardly known save to a few friends and acquaintances. Then she lived in a little cabin home with her parents in almost complete obscurity. But she, like many other holders of Oklahoma land, went to bed a pauper and awoke the next morning to find a shower of gold pouring into her coffers. Now hundreds of colored and white people throughout the United States and elsewhere are interested in this little girl, and Negroes are writing letters from every section of this country wanting to know why this rich little colored girl cannot have a colored guardian instead of a white one. Just as were hundreds of their native Negroes" Sarah Kector was given her allotment of 160 acres On this land B. B. Jones, a white man, secured an oil lease. He had not been long at work before he opened a well which gushed forth 2,000 barrels of oil daily. More wells were drilled and now the girl's income is over $500 a day. The laws of Oklahoma require that every "native child" have a guardian. When a "native child" allotment is of little or no value the parents or some other Negro may be appointed as guardian, but if there is any wealth involved a white guardian is invariably appointed. Regardless of wealth, ability and high standing, the Probate Judge never deems a Negro sufficiently competent to act as a guardian for a wealthy Negro child. Under such conditions Sarah Rector, although a Negro, must have her wealth guarded by a white man. A. J. Porter, who under any other circumstances, would quite likely draw the color line. There are hundreds of "native Negro children" in this State whose wealth reaches far into the thousands, and in every case they, like Sarah Rector, have white guardians. The money of these colored children is deposited in white banks and used by whites. Not a penny, however, can be used by a Negro. Thus, millions of dollars and valuable land are grandly passing from the hands of Negroes to white people. The world would stand appalled if it but knew the high handed methods of thievery being employed by many white guardians of Negro children, and the Probate Judges, by refusing to appoint Negroes as guardians of Negroes, are doing the race a rank injustice. If some of the Negro organizations in this country would turn their attention to Oklahoma they would find a most profitable field for operation, and the valuable property of many Negroes might be saved. STILL WAITING FOR CHIEF SAM TO ARRIVE Chief Sam, whose arrival in New York from the Southwest, has been anxiously awaited with interest for the past two weeks, has to date failed to put in his appearance. At the New York offices of the Akim Trading Company, Limited, situated in the Bishop Building, 271 W. 125th street, no explicit information could be received regarding Chief Sam's whereabouts. In the meantime the officials of the Mines Steamship Company give out the statement that negotiations have been in a large measure, completed. Since the Akim Trading Company has acquired one of its old which will be used to take the emigrants to West Africa. The merger is now in the Eric basin and is of the old German was built about 1884.

PYTHIANS CHARTER UNLAWFULLY REVOKED Special to THE NEW YORK AME, WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3—The Supreme Court, District of Columbia, on Friday, January 30, refused to grant the plan of the Supreme Lodge that the suit of the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia, be dismissed with costs on the plaintiff, and decided that the action of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A. in session at Baltimore. Md., August 26-30, 1913, in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Virginia, and ordering the dissolution, was unconstitutional and unlawful. The court issued a sweeping injunction restraining the Supreme Lodge, the Supreme Chancellor or their agents anywhere in the United States from interfering with the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, on account of any such alleged revocation of the charter. It forbids the issuance or circulation of any proclamation or letters by the Supreme Chancellor or his agents based upon the alleged revocation of the charter and dissolution of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Virginia. Mr. Justice Gould announced that the question of the constitutionality of the tax levy by the Supreme Lodge upon the members of the several grand jurisdictions would be finally decided by the Court. This will result in a complete review of the case by competent authority and the constitutionality of the enactment of the new Constitution at Baltimore, Md., will also be settled. John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia, Thomas M. Arup, G. K. of R. and S. and R. C. Mitchell were present during the deliberations. The Grand Lodge was represented by Chance R. Wilson, Paul E. Lesch, Esq, and James F. Minor, Esq, the latter making the argument, and the Supreme Lodge by James A. Cobb and Henry E. Davis. CLASS OF COLORED PUPILS DISBANDED Special to The New York Age Paterson, N. J. Feb. 4- The segregation of Negro pupils in the Paterson schools, which was carried out by forming a special class of colored children at school No. 1, and placing in charge Miss Fannie Lowe, the only colored teacher in the Paterson school system, has been temporarily abandoned because of the reservation of Miss Lowe, which took effect December 22, 1913. Since that time the class has been conducted by substitutes, but they were white teachers and that plan was not found satisfactory. When Miss Lowe was appointed she stood highest on the list of clichies. For several months she acted as a substitute teacher, then the special class of colored children, covering at least four grades, was formed and she was placed in charge of it. A committee from the Colored Citizen's Association visited the school and was assured by the principal that everything was all right. Miss Lowe was the only teacher in the city instructing pupils of more than two grades. For some reason the committee dropped the matter. The abandonment of the class in less than one year, following the reservation of Miss Lowe, shows clearly that it was only formed to create a place for the colored teacher. There is no separate school law for Passiac county and the Negro citizens and taxpayers are intending to fight any effort in the part of the school authorities to create a separate class of colored pupils in case another colored teacher is appointed. COMMISSIONERS QUARREL REFUSE TO SIGN REPORT Ill feeling has once more cropped out in the Emancipation Commission, as several commissioners have flatly refused to sign the report prepared for the scrutiny of State Comptroller Sohmer. The exact reasons as to why some of the commissioners are opposed to signing the report have not been given out, but it is known that they hesitate to attach their signatures to the document. It has just come to light that aside from the $25,000 appropriated by the Legislature for the holding of the recent exposition that an additional $3,224 was appropriated a few weeks ago, shortly before the adjournment of the last Legislature. The report prepared for Comptroller Sohmer is said to show that $8,000 was taken in as gate receipts, etc., by the commissioners at the exposition. Together with the two appropriations made by the Legislature, the amount of money the commissioners admit handling totals $36,000, most of which is said to have been paid out in salaries. There are many complaints being made by former employees of the exposition that they have not been paid what is due them. GET BANK CHARTER FOR RALEIGH, N. C. Special to The New York Age RALEIGH, N.

LOTS FOR SALE DON'T ONLY LO PASTOR RUSSELL'S CHURCH DRAWS LINE Negroes Put in the Gallery in Temple of Creation in 63rd Street 'CHRISTIANITY' UP-TO-DATE One of the Chief Aims of Bible Association is "The Promotion of Peace and Righteousness." "Seats Free! No Collection! Free to both Rich and Poor!" Over on West 63d street, near Broadway, is situated the Temple of Creation, a building erected at a cost of $500,000 for Pastor Russell of Brooklyn, but which is used by the International Bible Students' Association, of which he is president, for the purpose of presenting a series of pictures called the "Photo Drama of Creation." Negroes are admitted to see the pictures, but those who have attended state that without exception they are directed to a side door, and when the end of the way is reached they find themselves sequestered in the top gallery, where the only white face to be seen is that of the maid who has charge of the ladies' retiring room. Even the Negro ministers are shunted off to the gallery, it is said. Pastor Russell's association has for one of its chief aims, as given in a scenario of Part III of the pictures, "the promotion of peace and righteousness, expecting that those who witness the pictures will find their "sympathy for poor fallen humanity stronger." An effort was made by an Ace representative to find someone in authority who could give reasons for the attitude of the association toward its Negro seekers after light, but without result. Experience of Mira. L. Sounders. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. L. Sanders 42 West 130th street, went over to see the pictures for the first time. She had not heard anything about the seating arrangements and started in the main entrance. She was stopped and told to use another entrance further down the street. She did so and found herself in the top gallery, which was well filled, but only with members of the Negro race, among them being two ministers. Her experience is similar to that of Walt Whitman, who was also a minister. The three portraits are also bound separately and sold at 25 cents each. Purchase of one THURSDAY, THURSDAY 4, 1914. DON'T ONLY LOOK these parts carries with it a free reserved seat to see the next part. Parts are published with paper covers at 10 cents, and this also entitles purchaser to a reserved seat for the next entertainment. The association explains this by saying that "manifestly it (the drama) will appeal to and profit only the more intelligent," and makes provision that "the most deeply interested may have free reserved seat tickets . . . in with each bound copy of the scenario" at $1 per copy. An effort will be made to purchase copies of the scenario, with the privilege of free reserved seats, in order that the association's attitude toward its Negro supporters may be made clear. If the policy of segregating the Negroes in the top gallery is adhered to under those conditions it is probable that a test case will be made to see if the directors of the Temple of Creation are not violating the Levy Civil Rights Law. The pictures are shown every day, including Sunday, promptly at 3 and 8 o'clock p.m. NO RACE RESTRICTION IN PROPERTY DEEDS Special to The New York Am Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 2.—Race restriction clauses in property deeds were declared illegal by Judge John W. Shenk in handing down a decision against the Berlin Realty Company. Some time ago Benjamin Jones and Mrs. Fannie Guatier contracted for a choice parcel of ground through the mails. Their letters contained checks to cover the first payments on the lots. In accepting the first payments, the company sent back contracts which contained the following restriction: The said property shall not be sold to or be occupied by any persons not of the white or Caucasian race. When the company heard that the would-be purchasers were colored, their checks were returned and negotiations brought to a Mrs. Gaulet and Jones at once instituted legal proceedings to compel the transfer of the lots. Attorney Charles, S. Darden, who represented the plaintiffs, declared that the restriction was a violation of the provisions of the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution and contrary to the public policy of the State of California. Judge Shenk coincided with his views. The principal stockholders in the Berlin Realty Company are Jews. BEQUEST OF $25,000 LEFT TO TUSKEGEE Honors. Mass.

PASS ABSURD MEASURE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Lower House Favors Prohibiting Whites From Teaching Negroes SENATE YET TO ACT The "Columbia State" Speaks Out Against Biasism and Says Bill is Undefensible in Morals. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. COLUMBIA, N. C., Feb. 3—By a vote of 62 to 40 a bill has been passed in the lower house of the South Carolina Legislature prohibiting white people from teaching in Negro schools or Negroes from teaching in white schools under penalty of a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment for not more than twelve months. To show to the world that they were "upright, fair-minded Christian gentlemen," an amendment was adopted providing that nothing in the bill should prohibit the teaching of the Bible or religious subjects to Negroes by whites. So 62 members of the South Carolina Legislature have gone on record that they believe that it is unlawful for whites to teach Negroes their A B Cs, but do not think it a crime for whites to teach Negroes the Bible. In Charleston, S. C., where white teachers are employed in the public schools to teach colored children, the proposed change is not popular, so the delegation from Charleston County attempted to have passed an amendment excluding Charleston County. However, the amendment was last by a vote of 40 to 40. Then the Charleston legislators started a filibuster, but lost out in the final voting. Many believe that the bill will fail to pass in the Senate, but under the Please administration there is no telling what freak legislation is likely to be adopted. White Daily Ridicules Bill. The Columbia State, one of the most influential papers in South Carolina, is opposing the bill. The following editorial recently appeared in the publication, which shows that Gov. Please does not dominate the reading daily. "The bill to prohibit white persons from teaching in Negro schools were better called a bill to drive the Negroes of South Carolina back into the original savages from which they came. "The Southern Negroians must oblige that they have the freedom from the white people. "To say that white people are teaching Negroes in schools to resist social equality or commingling is bish and absurd. "The pending legislation is indefensible." DR. WASHINGTON SPEAKS IN INTEREST OF HAMPTON Special to The New York Am. Harrison, Comm., Feb. 4.-Dr. Booker T. Washington and Maj. R. R. Moton addressed two large audiences here on the evening of January 28 in the interest of Hampton Institute. At Foot Guard Hall the audience was composed of white and colored people, and later the two widely known educators delivered addresses before a fine audience at the Shiloh Colored Baptist Church, where the auditors were of both races. Every seat was taken in Foot Guard Hall where Dr. Washington and Maj. Motion first spoke. Aside from the addresses by such eminent representatives of the race the meeting had the added feature of songs by a group of Hampton students, and motion pictures showing the career of a model student of the institution. Talks were also made by two representative clergymen of Hartford, the Rev. Ernest de F. Miel, rector of Trinity Church, and the Rev. Rockwell Harmon Futter, pastor of Center Church. Dr. Washington was introduced by Maj. Motion, commandant at Hampton Institute. Dr. Washington, who was greeted with loud applause on his appearance, spoke in high praise of the work at Hampton, and discussed conditions in the South as they affect the Negro. Dr. Washington spoke before the inter-churchmen at the Allyn House earlier in the day in an address remarkable for its native humor and forceful sincerity. In attendance were prominent citizens of Hartford, including Mayor Louis R. Cheney, who also spoke. Harvey B Brainard was chairman of arrangements MEETING AT ROCKVILLE Special to The New York Acq. Rockville, Conn. April 4, 1913 was the demand for tickets to hear Dr. Barker T. Washington, who spoke at the Union Congregational Church Thursday evening, that it was necessary to arrange for an overflow meeting in the Methodist Church. The program given at the Union Church was reported at the Methodist Church the speakers come from the former to the latter. In addition to Dr. Washington the speakers were Maj. Motion of Hampton Institute and the Rev. Percy C. Thomas, pastor of Union Congregational Church. Mayor S. Tracy Noble, who has visited Hampton Institute, was one of the speakers at the Methodist Church. The Hon Charles Phelps presided at the Union Church and the Rev. John H. Banksley at the Methodist Church WANT WHITE MAN TO Washington, N.J. The second in a succession to Henry Limb Johnston as Recorder of Deeds is said to be one of the important matters demanding the attention of President Wilson and although prominent Democrats of the District of Columbia and such southern demagogues as Vardaman are engaged in an earnest effort to persuade President Wilson to appoint a white and not a colored man when the term of the incumbent expires early in the spring, it is said that President Wilson will very likely name a Negro as succeed Recorder Johnson. The advantage of the change of the custom of recognizing this office as a special perquisite of the Negro race are working hard to stir sentiment against appointing a colored man as next Recorder. This, of course, is no difficult matter at this time, but it is expected that the President in this instance will agreeably surprise the Negroes of this country. Y. W. C. A.

PRAISE NEGRO CREW'S BRAVERY Passengers Tell of Deeds of Heroism in Munroe- Nantucket Accident PATHETIC TALES TOLD Miss Gussie Wallace of Portsmouth, Va., Sailed as Stewardess in Place of Mother and Was Drowned. LIST OF LOST AND SAVED Charles Faison, Chief Cook, Gives Statement of Accident as an Eye Witness—J. P. Marin Washed Away by Wave. With his lower limbs aching and widened from exposure and cold as the result of his efforts in rescuing many PETER H. of the shipwrecked passengers and crew of the ill-fated steamer Monroe of the 11th Mission Steamship Co. after being rescued himself when the Monroe sank off the Virginia coast early Friday morning January 31 Charles Faison, 44th Army Marine, who was chief cook on that vessel is at his home slowly recovering from his fearful experience. Mr. Faison is representative called on Mr. Faison's apartments and was given statement of his experience during the wrecking of the ship, of which he was an eyewitness. The bravery of the Negroes of the crew had been referred to by some of the passengers and Mr. Faison's simple and straightforward story is amply supported by the testimony already given. One of the most pathetic stories of the wreck concerned the death of Miss Gussie Wallace, 623 King street, Portsmouth. Va. who sailed on this voyage as stewardess in place of her mother. Mrs Wallace has held the position of steward for a number of years, and occasionally when incapacitated or wanting to rest her daughter Gussie has sailed in her place. On this trip Mrs Wallace was sick and for the first time in more than a year Miss Gussie made the trip. In expressing her love and affection for her mother, said Mr. Faison. Miss Gussie had often said that she was willing to do anything for her, even to laying down her life. And so it happened that on this disastrous voyage she took her mother's place and went down to the death that probably would have come to Mrs. Wallace only for the illness which kept her at home. Chief Cook Sees Collision. Mr. Faison was awake and standing at the door of his stateroom, which was occupied in common with the second and third rooms. His room was on the starboard side, and as the collision was from that side he had a view of the accident from the beginning. He says that he saw the Nautucket, the ship which struck the Monroe, loosening up in the fog, and almost instantly thereafter came the crash of the collision. Realizing that danger impeded, he turned back into the cabin and rosed the two men who were askew. Will Wade and Joseph Brunsdall Hardly slipping on his trawners he grabbed a life preserver and put on. Wade did the same thing, but Brunsdall seemed dared and only half awake and dropped into a chair, not realizing the extent of the danger. Mr. Faison caught him by the shoulder, shaking him and calling to him to follow to the deck. That was the last seen of Brunsdall. The cabin was on the saloon deck and when Faison and his companion came out from the boat was listing, so they could hardly stand. They made their way to the deck just in time as the boat made its way over on her starboard side, thus bringing the port hull into the water. Sud Mr. Faison. "We should never fail to rail and fight for the water. There is some about twenty or thirty men, women and children, who are colored. The host sank steep for and as it gradually settled we moved way to the boon end. Martin and waiters, who lived at 1402 Bergen since Maryann, said to me, "Chuckie, I have my life preserver and I can't swim. What's you do, what you can to help me?" I told him that I would, but a heavy wave washed him off the boat before any of us could reach him, and we heard him say as he went over. This is the last of me. Good-bye, loys. I jumped into the water as the boat was settling and floated around for about thirty minutes before I was picked up by one of the Monroe's boats. Those of us who had on life preservers or could swim were saved, but the rest were lost. After I was picked up our boat cruised around for nearly an hour searching for the people until we could neither see or hear anybody. Then we were taken on board the Nantucket." Those rescued lost everything they had on board the ship, but they were taken to Norfolk, where the steamship company provided outfits for them. Among the passengers rescued were Clarence M. Davids of New York, a racing man, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rollin of Bridgehampton, L. I. all of whom are white. In speaking of the bravery exhibited by Negroes during the wreck Mrs. Rollin said: "We kept going straight up and when we got to the deck a crowd was there. One of the colored boys tossed me a lite preserver and I put it on. I shall never forget the manner in which those colored boys acted. If a black man is not as good as a white man, there was nothing to show it last night. Right on the threshold of death those black boys stood and smiled like soldiers rushing into the mouths of belching cannon. I stood on the deck and the waves washed about me." Clarence Davids, telling of his experience, said: "In a few minutes' colored men with the whites of their eyes popping at me like scarlet digits began to crawl along the side of the ship. Then I sat down and they sat down. There must have been fifteen of them sitting around me on the side of the ship." "I want to say right here that I have seen a lot of brave men in my days my people were seafaring men but never in my life have I seen such stoical courage as these black men showed. There they sat as unconcerned about themselves as if they were sitting on dry land. "In a few minutes a great light began to shine above us. It broke through the fog that surrounded us and showed a magnificent heaven of stars, twinkling down upon our strange little raft of humanity. "The black bodies of my companions glistened in the strong light as they sat there mutely wondering and asking each other 'where are all the ladies and the children?' The fortitude of these men will remain in my mind till I die." The Lost and Saved. The following list of lost and saved among the Negroes on board the ship has been gone over with Mr. Faison and is as accurate as is possible at this time: LOST.

Payton, Jr., the well known New York real estate operator, has written a letter to the New York Senators at Washington, protesting against the passage of the Smith-Lever Agricultural Bill. Mr. Payton's letter follows: Hon. Elibu Root, There is soon to come up in the Senate that is now known as the Smith-Lever Agricultural Bill, designed, as I understand it, to "diffuse among the people of the United States useful and practical information on subjects relating to agriculture and home economics, and to encourage the application of the same." You will notice, I hope, that under this bill the Negro people of the South, who constitute nearly one-half of the population, will share in none of the benefits whatever of this proposed legislature. As you probably know, under the Moral Act, money is now provided in the South for what is known as Land Grant College. The most of this money, of course, is given to white institutions, only Negro institutions receive anyvery small proportion of this money. In Georgia for instance, there is maintained near Savannah what is known as the Georgia State College for Negroes. One would suppose that this college is maintained by the State of Georgia. As a matter of fact, every cent of money which lays for the maintenance of Land Grant College comes, out of the money provided under the Moral Act and nothing at all comes out of the treasury of the State of Georgia. It would be a monstrous injunction that the Smith-Lower Bill should be imposed allowing similar discrimination. A discrimination which will be practiced, as you will see, because the whole authority is vested in State authority, which has entire control over the money after it reaches the State authorities. As one of your Negro constituents in New York, I most earnestly urge that the benefit of your acruity be given this proposed legislation. I very much hope that you may feel inclined to propose an amendment granting to the Negro people of the Southern States the power to share of the land based upon the proportion of the population. It will be very much appreciated if you will look into this matter and give to the Negro people of the South the benefit of your close acruity. It does seem that the Negroes, who are an integer part of the government, should, since they are denied the right to vote, be permitted to profit by such agricultural destruction as the government may appropriate the funds for. Certainly determinations as have been and are practised in the South under the present Moral Act. That the proposed bill will not pass, without proper amendment, is the wish of all fair-minded Americans. Many protests are being registered against the unfairness of the Smith-Lever Agricultural Bill in its present form. Birthday Dinner. Kaleigh, N. C., Feb. 3.—On last Wednesday, evening, the beautiful home of Dr. and Mrs. L. E. McCaulay, Tarburo street, was the scene of a delightful dinner party in honor of the doctor's thirty-first birthday.

PASS ABSURD MEASURE IN SOUTH CAROLINA (Continued from last) ble in morals and inexcusable as a device of expediency. "Shall a white minister be denied the privilege of going into a Negro church to carry the Gospel of Jesus? "What is the church unless it is the school of God? "From St. Paul, the apostle, to the Gentiles, down to the lowliest itinerant preacher, was there ever a minister of Christianity who was not, first of all, a teacher? "Is the Legislature of South Carolina prepared to be consistent and add to the proposed legislation an inhibition against the teaching of Christianity to human beings? "How low are we falling in South Carolina? Who shall sound the depths? "The teaching of Negroes, though in schools, implies no teaching of social equality. To say so is to put the brand of race treason on our grandmothers and their grandmothers, who taught the little Negroes on the plantations for more than two centuries? "The number of Northern white teachers in Negro schools of South Carolina could be counted on the fingers of the two hands. Even were it proved that two or three of them associate on terms of equality with Negro children, it would afford no excuse to the State of South Carolina for shutting the light from these poor people. There are devout white women, natives of South Carolina, teaching Negroes in schools. Is it come to this, that South Carolina places the stamp of crime on the act of extending the helping hand to the weak? "There is not a white woman in South Carolina employing a Negro cook who is not teaching her the domestic arts and how to be a better woman, too. "There is not a plantation in South Carolina having a white landlord that is not an agricultural school for Negro men, women and children. Shall this teaching of Negroes be abolished? If not, why not? "Common sense and the instincts of healthy nature should tell legislators that white people rather than Negroes may be expected to teach Negroes that they may not hope for social equality. "The pending legislation has no place in modern times. One must seek the records of the seventeenth century for its parallel. "There is no argument—yes, there is one—in its favor. If the design is to make conditions so hard and cruel in the State for the Negroes that they must flee from it, it may be defended; but, if that be the argument, why is it not stated with manly candor? If this measure is to be the beginning of a policy, and that is what it would indicate, making life for blacks intolerable in South Carolina, so that we may be free of them, why should we not say so? And if we would be rid of our Negro population, why stultify ourselves with the retention of a law making the enticing of Negroes to leave the State a criminal act? "There will be men to say whenever a newspaper, cries 'Justice!' for the Negro, it is Negro-loving. In their reeking ignorance the poor blind fools are objects of pity. They shall not deter the State from warning the people of South Carolina against entering upon a course at war with the eternal laws of light and holiness. "There is no likelihood in any case that white teachers in the Negro schools will multiply. Already we have provided against that by fixing a scale of wages for teachers in them that would starve all others than Negroes. "With all his faults and frailties, who shall say that the Negro of South Carolina in his present state is not better than in his savage state? What woman or man in South Carolina will feel safer with the Negro cut off from the white man's civilization and degraded to his some-time African grossness? Yet with that policy the pending measure is charged. It is a declaration for the Negro's debasement; it is at deadly enmity with the spirit that would lift up mankind, and we cannot adorn or endorse it without dragging ourselves down with it."

In any reasonably constituted personality it would be very naturally expected of the President of the United States that he would listen to the preacher's son and follow his advice, as far as his solkmn promises are concerned; especially when it is understood that the President of the United States and the preacher's son are one and the same person, or should be, and live in the same house, concerning which Jesus said, literally, "In my father's house are many [sons of Sion] mansions." It seems to be that way with President Wilson and the preacher's son; they do not pull together; they seem to be divided. That is bad, concerning which President Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The New York Times, which helped to elect President Wilson, and desires to support him and his policies enthusiastically, has been balking badly of late as Col. George Harvey and Col. Henry Watterson had to do before he was nominated, and threatens to break away entirely. The sooner the better. The Times says, among other things, that scath: It is plain that platforms are nothing but two politicians. Platforms are but umbrella for friends to gather under during a storm. After the storm is in over they belong to whomever claims them. The best platform under in the sun with the true collector's note for what other people want to owe when they are it in his possession. Tastes have changed alone the most collection was made by a famous hunter and supporter unimaginable political trifle, which were refurbished and revamped and put out an original campaign. Now there is another collection of making of, marketing of, selling of, and promoting info without principle. The Democrats are going another new mail, and the party to the "organ" of a personal President will put on whatever is supplied, even though it be out of date. Who can complain that politics is serious, or difficult to understand? "He takes political goods," says the *Times*, "where he finds them, and pleads justification by the use made of what he appropriates." Should the preacher's son do that as President in dealing with the platform upon which he was elected? Hardly. The President "playing with platforms," as the *Times* puts it, is much of a sort with the flowery politician's question asked of President Cleveland: "What is the Constitution between friends?" Aye, what? That question has become a by-word and a hissing in American politics. But if the President has come to look upon it that there is nothing between him and the Democratic platform upon which he was elected, what shall we say of him and his words of good will for colored people that he addressed to Bishop Alexander Walters before his election? We shall say that the President has shown the colored people that there is nothing whatever between him and his words of good will. WATT TERRY'S $450,000 Mr. Watt Terry, of Brockton, Mass., one of the great shoe manufacturing centers of the country, visited Tuskegee Institute recently, and was the recipient of much attention and curiosity, because he is a real, sure-enough half-millionaire colored person, and promises to be a whole one if he keeps on in the way he has gone and is going as a real estate dealer and broker. Mr. Terry was born in Virginia, and began life in Brooklyn as a junior not a great new owner, but he did not stand Two million farm hands! What an array of producers as well as consumers of good things to eat that is! In the Country Gentlemen for January 3, Dr. Bowser T. Washington has one of the most helpful of the articles he has written, entitled, "One Million Farm Hands," being a splendid plan for better education, housing and personal treatment of the colored people employed on the farm in the Southern States. The plan is bound to have a good effect, because he shows so unmistakably how the white employers of farm labor are benefited by proper treatment of their workers as compared to those who practice a different policy. The illustrations he gives of the good and bad employers' methods are drawn from life. In stating the case upon which to build his article Dr. Washington says: "I just can't learn to work free Negroes." Thirty years ago, when I was establishing Tuskegee Institute, this was the plaint, made to me by a wealthy planter in Alabama who formerly owned and worked slaves, and in this sentence in the crust of the problem of Negro labor. In slavery the Negro could be worked. In freedom he must be induced to work. There is a vast difference between being worked and working. But the problem in nearly every county in the South is how to use Negro labor successfully on the farm. Of the nearly 9,000,000 colored people living in the Southern States it is safe to say that more than 2,200,000 work on farms as hired hands, as independent farmers or croppers, as renters or independent owners. Included in this number are a great many girls and women, for it must be kept in mind that especially in the cotton-growing States it is a common thing for girls and women to work in the fields. Despite all theory and academic discussion as to the value of the Negro in the economic life of the South, it is true in the cotton-growing States that a large part of the banking business has for its basis the Negro and the mule. If a planter wants to borrow money the decision of the bank will hinge largely on the question of the number of reliable Negro tenants he can control. Here, then, in a tremendous amount of labor, and in it there are tremendous possibilities. These more than 2,200,000 people are not likely to leave the Southern States. Where they remain in large numbers no other class of laborers is likely to come in large numbers, and I also find that the majority of Southern white landowners do not want any other. To put the matter in another form, forty per cent, of the tillable land in the Southern States is in the hands of colored people in one form or another. The large number of colored laborers and the vast territory that they occupy make up a serious but interesting question for the South and for the whole country. In my opinion, in this mass of Negro labor is an undiscovered gold mine. The money spent by the Southern States for the education and better information of its Negro farm population is illustrated by what the State of Georgia is doing with a total Negro population of 1,176,000, 700,000 of whom are engaged in farm work; the State makes an annual appropriation of only $23,000 per annum to maintain the State Industrial College, which Dr. R. R. Wright has done so much to make strong and effective, being about three cents per capita spent on the education of its Negro farm people. And, incidentally, it does not do much better by its Negro school population not related to farm work, so large a city as Atlanta not maintaining a high school, while the white children have all they want of schooling from the kindergarten to the college. As it is in Georgia so it is in all of the Southern States; the school moneys paid by all of the people alike are so unequally divided that the white children have all they want and the colored children get what is left over—a system of robbery of the taxpayers which, like honest chickens, is bound to return to plague the robbers. It is high time that the white people of the Southern States should wake up to the fact that it is to their best interests as employers of labor of all kinds to provide equal if separate educational advantages for their white and colored people alike, and that what they fail to spend on schools they will have to spend upon jails and chain gangs. Dr. Washington's article should do much to drive some upon their duty in this respect. He says they are doing better. He also says: "By each race being frank with the other and each trying to help the other, the South can be made one of the greatest agricultural countries in the world." So it can. Certainly Southern white people are frank enough, brutally frank, to colored people, especially in their dirty legislation and their vulgar newspapers. The situation is not helped any because the colored people are fast learning to return them the treatment in kind that they are subjected to. THE BAD MAN HAS NOTHING TO LOSE. The Petersburg Colored Virginian, whose editorials are usually of the highest and best balanced character, wisely says that "We may turn the light of exposure upon evil conditions and keep it there until judgment day, but unless the fundamental causes responsible for the existence of these conditions are removed they will remain practically unaffected and unchanged." This is so far true that our contemporary is justified in declaring, further, that "We must solve the problem of our own undesirables," as the "bad Negro has nothing to lose. He has no respect for himself and less for others." And we have the just and far-reaching conclusion that "the white man respects the colored man in the same measure that the colored man respects himself." It would be impossible to make the Atlanta Independent believe any such truthful thing, the evidence of which is to be found all over the country and the world among all sorts and conditions of people." Among themselves white people have no respect and confidence for those of their number who have no respect and confidence for themselves, and are not slow in showing it; in like manner colored people, even of the common sort, have no respect for or confidence in a white man who has no respect for and confidence in himself. It stands to reason, then, that the colored person will be respected who respects himself, and that he will occupy that position in any given situation which he makes for himself. It is needful that this view of the matter should be reinforced from time to time, lest we forget that the world is demanding of the Negro everywhere that he stand upon his own feet and think and do as a man, or step aside as a small or large factor and give another man an opportunity to do so. What is true of one man is easily true of large numbers of men in any given occupation in which there is constant displacement of the inefficient and non-fit for those who are. It is strictly up to the colored people everywhere to give more attention than they have done to their "undesirables" and backward members, and in the same way that others are doing for their own. The Jews in all parts of the world are constantly busy seeking to keep down their criminals and to help those who need help. This is peculiarly and commendably true of them here in Greater New York, where they are a great minority of the alleged white population, but a commanding influence in its thought and work, in its finance and trade, in its professions and politics, and the like; but they are able to be so because they stand together as a people in all that relates to their interests and well-doing, and are proud all of the time that they are Jews, because they have whereof to be proud, and which all men recognize and respect. It is very difficult to transact any business in New York without having to deal with a Jew before it is finished. It will be that way some day with the colored people, who as Negroes have laid the foundations in New York, as all, along the line, for a successful development of individuality and worth that men in all the relations of life are coming to reckon with. Our real estate men are peculiarly in this class, and when they join forces and have a bank of their own, or in conjunction with other related business men, they will be more so than they are now. Our doctors and undertakers are now a positive business factor to be reckoned with and respected, and our preacher body commands the respect of the white preacher body and of the community. But all of this has come about, because the men concerned have made their own place to stand so that all men have to respect them in it. The bad Negro has nothing to lose, but the race has much, by his increase and activities. We all know this to be true, especially those engaged in rescue work, in church work, especially of the missionary sort such as Dr. Ransom has recently begun, and in Christian association work. But more agencies are needed to restrain the bad, the undesirables, and the agencies already at work need more money and public sympathy to strengthen their hands and extend their work. The sympathetic and alluent world helps those who help themselves. still, he kept on working his way up and saving his earnings. At the psychological moment he took up the real estate business and has stuck to it. He is now rated to be worth $450,000 and pays an annual tax of $10,166, being the third largest taxpayer in Brockton. It is shown to be true in the case of Mr. Terry, as in that of every other person who rises out of the ruck and makes a place for himself, that nothing succeeds like success. the place where they reside. All human achievement should be taken as example of what can be done, as men everywhere are rated by what they have done and not by what they are going to do and by what they have accumulated and not by what they are going to accumulate. Some of the largest and strongest fortunes in the country, like that of the Astors, Vanderbilts and Goulds, are the outcome of small beginnings and savings. The little things make the big We give prominence to what Mr. Terry has done in a big way from small beginnings as a living example which others, studying, may strive to imitate in the matter of saving and adding to savings until they have possessions that loom large in the eyes of their neighbors and on the tax books of the place where they reside. All human achievement should be taken as example of what can be done, as men everywhere are rated by what they have done and not by what they are going to do and by what they have accumulated and not by what they are going to accumulate. Some of the largest and strongest fortunes in the country, like that of the Astors, Vanderbilts and Goulds, are the outcome of small beginnings and savings. The little things make the big things. The big oak was first a little acorn. The largest man now or in the past had first to crawl before he could walk. So the pennies make the dollars, and a hundred pennies are worth just as much as a gold dollar. But it is better to save the pennies than it is to save the obtained the necessary company rather than the amounts of wages or income; say, then, for example, that twenty-five cents spent each day for algin is the interest on $3. for a year thrown away; twenty-five cents a day saved for a year will amount to $1.25, the interest on which for the year would be $4.56. The great fortunes of the world have been made and kept by men who figured upon just such a saving basis as we suggest, and we dare say Mr. Terry his success to a rigid adherence to the principles of it. What he has done others can do, and perhaps many are doing, and more should do COLORED DINING CAR MEN. COLORED DINING CAR MEN. A few days ago the officers of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad had all the colored men connected with the dining car service thoroughly examined as to health, cleanliness, etc. In all 133 men were examined and only one failed to pass examination. This is one of the finest records that any set of colored men in this country has ever made. It shows that the men connected with the dining car service are intelligent and are a fine lot. We will not comment further, however, but quote below the record covering the examination: In order to protect its patrons and insure the most sanitary service possible, all of the employees in the dining car service of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad have just been subjected to a thorough physical examination. The examination included even extra men in the service and covered altogether 14 stewards, 12 chefs, 15 second cooks, 17 third cooks and 75 waiters. These men are employed in the 12 dining cars in operation at the present time. Out of the 123 men examined only one man, a waiter, failed to pass. This man was immediately relieved. In the case of all the others, the examination disclosed that they were not only free from contagious or infectious disease, which was the principal idea in the examination, but were also in good general condition and free from physical defects. In fact, according to the testimony of the examining physicians, the result of the test, which was a most rigid one, was to show that these employees were an exceptionally healthy and clean body of men. About 75 per cent, of these men have been in the employ of the company for the past seven or eight years, or since the dining car service was enlarged. One waiter has been in the service 25 years and one cook 24 years. These two were among those who passed the examination. None of the men was notified when to expect the examination, but were just taken off the car at the New York terminal. While the company has always made it a rule to exercise great care in selecting men for the dining cars, hereafter the practice will be followed of having periodical examinations made of all such employees. Under the new rule no new men will be employed unless the company's physician have presented him in company to have them. It is in the aim of the company to have them in dining car and service available. Not only is the provision of an employee watched, but articles of food, such as milk and ice cream, are subjected to frequent tests in the company's laboratory. So long as we have such men to represent us in the dining car and Pullman car service, our race need not be ashamed. SCHOOL LAWS IN SOUTH CAR OLINA We note by the press dispatches that a bill is before the South Carolina Legislature which has for its object the preventing of white people from teaching in Negro schools. We need not say that we are opposed to all such legislation. We have found to our regret that in certain sections of the South that not a few colored educators as well as others are in favor of such bills. The people in Charleston, S. C., have long suffered because they have white men and women teachers in the public schools of Charleston. In their anxiety to get rid of these Southern white teachers in the public schools of Charleston we fear that the colored people have to some extent given their influence to the passing of such a bill as is now before the South Carolina Legislature. Our people will make a fatal mistake all through the South if they encourage class legislation. The race has not reached the point where it can afford to dispense with white teachers in such well-established institutions as Benedict College, Claflin University and other institutions in South Carolina. If such a law is passed, we hope that the Freedmen's Board and the American Missionary Association will lose no time in seeing that such laws are tested before the highest courts. THE·SMITH-LEVER AGRICUL TURAL BILL. Negroes throughout the country should lose no time in writing to their Senators, urging them to defeat the Smith-Lever Agricultural bill now before the U.S. Senate, unless provisions are made for the colored institutions in the South to share in the money which the bill carries for agricultural education. In its present shape the bill makes no provision for the expenditure of money for colored institutions, the whole matter being left to the State legislatures. The chances are that unless the bill is amended the white institutions will get all the money and the colored institutions none. Leading white educators as well as colored educators have expressed themselves in favor of having the bill amended. Individuals as well as business leagues and others can render great service to their race if they will in some organized way or as individuals write letters immediately to their Senators, protesting against the passage of the Smith-Lever THE OKLAHOMA CASE AND THE U. S. COURT. Some months ago a colored man who was refused accommodation in a Pullman car in Oklahoma brought suit in the United States Court to compel the Pullman car people to treat him with justice. The United States Circuit Court sitting in Kansas City has just rendered a decision in favor of the Pullman Car Company and against the colored man. We urge that in the future Negroes refrain from taking such cases into the courts hastily; that they be sure they have a well-prepared case, that they get the best lawyers, and have the case so prepared that it will be practically impossible to meet with defeat in the higher courts. Every time a case of this kind is tried and the courts decide against us it is harmful in more ways than one. We should not cease our efforts to take these cases to the courts, but be sure that we have the best lawyers and that the case has no loophole in it. Now that the matter has started, we hope that Oklahoma Negroes will take the case to the United States Supreme Court. RUN ON A COLORED The colored people of Norfolk, Va. have been seized by a savings fit, if the statement of two exhibitions of their fits is to be taken as symptomatic rather than sporadic. Soon after the New Year the Christmas Savings Club opened by the Brown Savings Bank was so crowded by colored people who desired to open accounts that the congregation of people looked like a run on that colored institution. There were some 700 accounts opened that day. It was a run, not to get money out of the bank, but to put money in the bank; the sort of run that should have possession of the colored people not only in Norfolk but in New York as well, and in all places where there are any considerable number of them. The same thing happened again last week in Norfolk on Tuesday. The Christmas Club feature, to encourage small savings, has been adopted by many banks in the North. We should have a colored bank in New York, and because we should have one we will have one, when we have it. EDITORIAL NOTES Police-women are making a successful hit of their job in Chicago and other places where they are on trial. So glad. New Pittsburgh will try them out. It must be real cute to have a real policewoman for a wife. The eugenics law of Wisconsin has been declared unconstitutional. Public sentiment had also declared not to stand for it. Crazy legislation is the curse of the times. Legislation that places obstacles in the way of the honorable marriage of a man and a woman is particularly repugnant. "Who is head of the house?" we asked some time ago. "That depends upon whether the brilliant New York Age is speaking domestically or suffragetically," says the "Hopkinsville Saturday News. Does it? The question was really asked apologetically but answered without reservation that man is in the house and that when he is not the house has no head. It seems now that King Menlek of Abysinia is really dead and that Monselek Jesus, his lawful successor; now sits on the throne of the King of Kings. Long may he sit. King Jesus is said to be about eighteen years old and every inch a king. We are kind of it. Jesus is the chief of the church, and they are constantly figuring to annoy his country to their African possessions, in the way of which King Menlek always stood with splendid success, and he will need every ounce of his kingship to keep his country independent of the foreign yoke. The Government of the Union of South Africa has deported to Great Britain ten of the leaders of the recent strike, as the best way to assure the peace of the country, but the British public opinion, which is being much swayed by the trades union sentiment, is up in arms about "the high handed business," the opinion prevailing that the government or deposition should have been submitted to the opposition. Anyhow, the English in Africa are having troubles of their own, while the Italians have standing troubles that keep them guessing most of the time. Gen. Jacob Coxey, of Ohio and the United States, who has been fast sleepe for a long time, has waked up, it is said, and on May 1 I will lead to the 10th edition of angrym of 5,000,000 men for the time pressing the Government." A short time ago a New York newspaper had Gen. Coxey posting in the corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria as a millionaire and promoter of great enterprises. He must have fallen through himself again, the Don Quixotes and Micewheres of other days; they are always waiting for something to turn up and being unable to recognize it when it does. A good but not great man died last week at the age of eighty-four, who former Senator Shelby M. Cullom passed away. He was born in Kentucky, November 22, 1829. After finishing his school work he went to Springfield, and was thereafter, from 1856, to his death, prominent in local, State and National affairs, from 1856 to 1884, friend of Abraham Lincoln, having studied in his office, and being resident Commissioner of the Lincoln Commission at Washington. His last desire was to live to see the great Lincoln monument finished at Washington. One by one the old war horses of the Republican party are falling by the wayside; only a few remain standing. The nation hearted and vallant hearted people, and they are leaving no successors to the lofty sense of humanity and public honor which made their lives and the Nation illustrious. Haiti has had another revolution, with President Michel Orestes in full flight on a German cruiser instead of at the head of his troops, with American and other marines, in charge of Port-au-Prince for the purpose of protecting the interests of foreign residents. Santo Domingo has just over revolt, and the fate to help to stop it Haiti will survive the present one; but these uprisings of ambitious men who love their own glory and profit more than the peace, prosperity and honor of their country, are very provoking to people who wish those countries well, while they are very pleasing to those Americans and other foreigners who want the situation to become so intolerable in both of them that the United States will be forced to self-interest the place then under a Protectorate. The big fish have not much consideration for the little fish when the little fish insist upon getting in the way of the big fisherman. WHAT THE PROPLE SAY. The Eugenic Idea. It is not so very long since the word "eugenes" was coined to name the science of race-culture, the cultivation of the fittest. The capital fact of man, as distinguished from the lower animals and from plants, is that he does not have to take the world as he finds it; that he does not merely adapt himself to his environment, but that he himself is a creator of his world. We must do something to improve mankind and prevent waste and destruction of the valuable lives. Very slowly, but none the less surely, we are beginning to realize that the biologist and not the sociologist must come to recognize that we must study the mankind in which family traits, good and bad, are inherited; that we must prevent the perpetuation and increase of a stock which we know is a menace to the nation. It was bad human protoplasm that gave us the jukeses, good human protoplasm that gave us the Edwardes. The task that confronts the biologist is the determinate bad protoplasm affect each other. That is the purpose of the new science of eugenics. Sir Francis Galton, the father of eugenics and inventor of the word, defined it as "the study of the agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physically or morally." In its most liberal sense eugenics means "good fireeding." If the ideal could be attained each class could be represented by a woman to be worked out its destiny in its own way, and useful classes of men would be encouraged to contribute more than their present proportion to the next generation. THOMAS WITHERSPOON. Picture of Bachelor-Benedict Ball. To the Editor of The Arg: 10 the Editor of the AKE. The AKE for many years. However, I wish to comment upon the picture of the Bachelor-Benedict affair. The picture is beautiful and inspiring at first sight. However, after a bit of reflection and close examination, a woman with a black complexion is a rare article in it and some of the most black men are not as well known as the men. This is sad to many of us down here who know so well the Southern whites' thoughts and joys they tingle in our teeth. One among the many is this: That a Negro leaves white skin so insatiably that even our concubines are chosen and preferred with not the second thought, over the rare virtue of any black blime character found in any black faced woman. Of course, it is possible that a large per cent. of the women represented in the picture may have legitimate fathers and mothers, but the diversification of color is almost general among the women while it is so perceptibly not so among the women. How this may the Southern white women so organizize their efforts to try striking concubinage a death blow. They have no help in the white or black man—the latter is too afraid. One noted and powerful doctor devotes considerable time to the protection and the improvement of coloured girls and I am interested in the Age. But I still situate to show this colorful woman I feel is suspicious and convictions will be verified and strengthened by the sight of this picture. I trust I give no offence. Concubinage is so generally condoned by all classes of Negroes nowadays that a large number of white men have come to the Negro by thus lightening his color and giving him a substitute that may appease his insatiable appetite for white skin. Concubinage has not begun to stop, nor will it until the white and blacks of the South shame the white men in the past, our cheerful acceptance and further, our unquenchable desire for anything which looks like white, make our society the huge joke of the American public and in a large measure encourage white men to persist in it. GEO. J. AUSTIN. Prairie View, Texas Dunbar's Place in Literature. To the Editor of The Ack: It was with pleasure I noted Mr. Le Gallinne's review of the "Complete Tales of David Lawrence Dumbar in The Age of Jean Lawrence" and our folks have not had the time to study Dunbar's works, and to fully realize that in him the race has made its highest claim to a permanent place in American Literature. My position has been for fifteen years that Dunbar was not only a great "Negro poet" but he was also a poet this continent ever produced. I am now going to study his novels and I am astounded at the diversity of his genius. Few folks are acquainted with the fact that Dunbar was the author of some thirty-two volumes, the diaries of very small part of the whole and those of other entire field of fiction, in poetry, classic and dialect, in novels, and in short stories. Just now most attention is paid to his dialect work for the value it is his most distinctive and valuable contribution to literature. In his dialect work he has written the folk-lore of the Southern Negro to our literature. Had it not been for him this folk-lore and cradle songs of our people would have been lost just as the Indian folk-lore has been lost because they failed to produce a man with the necessary literary instinct and inspiration, and the phrasology the cradle songs of his reverence. My attention was called to a pamphlet lately issued by the gentleman who managed our last "Emancipation Celebration Exhibition." It had a list of one hundred "greatest" or "famous" Negroes. I looked in vain among them for the name of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. With the other race he is listed with the "great and famous" among us he's "not in it." I should like to say, however, that when—with all due respect to the talent and genius the One Hundred represented—they are all laid away and earth shall know them more, when on earth shall know them more, when on the minds of coming generation that they cease to retain an impression of their present existence, the name of Paul Lawrence Dunbar will be on the lip, in every library his books will add grace and dignity and school will study him as they now study the master of ancient English folk-lore, Chancer, Spencer and More. EDWARD STERLING WRIGHT, New York City. PROFESSIONAL SOUTHERNERS (From N. Y. Morning Telegraph) A bitter factional fight has developed in the Southern Woman's Club of Chicago, and as a result thirty-six members have been expelled for inellibility. But to may, they were not of Southern birth, and were merely pseudo "daughters of the Southland," as a musch-writers put it when referring to any female hiped who happened to first see the light on the other side of the Ohio River. We are at a loss to account for the mental processes of these women. Why they care to pose as coming from a arts and sciences backward in all the arts, and essentially from the compared with the more literate North and West, is one of the psychological mysteries that may never be solved. The "professional Southern, gentleman" of Broadway in the East and State street in the Middle West is a man in a position in a sense of the word is he a psychic problem that reveals his social status, his thirst justifies his own economic causation. Usually he is an unattached, single person, and he has been known to sleep out the night in a chair to save the day. He is well-groomed and invariably on the lookout for an easy touch. And there is no diminution in his numbers. He is as numerous as he was ten years ago, howbeit he finds the road he travels rocker that has made him an earlier politician. Nor is it tinging on to the "professional Southern gentleman" and it doesn't "loosen up" with the abandon of a former era. The graft is still fairly good, however, and the species far from extinct. But why the "professional Southern woman"; and, of all things, why the professional Southern clubwoman? The women are supposed to be wise. They are satisfied that the woman is the ordinary level, and if they seek association in club life, why don't they foregather with the women of the North who have furnished a score of women of genius where one has obtained recognition south of the line? WASHINGTON. D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, the Rev. S. P. W. Drew, pastor, is conducting a campaign to raise $15,000 toward clearing up the church indebtedness.

Haig, a recent graduate of Howard, has successfully passed the State Medical Board examinations in Maryland and is located at Easton, Md FORT RILEY, KANS MOUNTED SERVICE SCHOOL. DETACHMENT. FORT RILEY, KAN—Sunday, January 25, was "go to church" day. Services were held throughout the day by all churches. The Literary Club of Manhattan, Kan., has issued a deft to Junction City for a debate, subject being, "Resolved. That unrestricted immigration is a detriment to the civil government." Mr. and Mrs. J. Jones has announced the marriage of their daughter Irene to William Hurd of Chicago. The Big Four Club of the fort has lost its leader, Pie Lowe. Sergeant Guiss Smith created a sensation when he rendered a vocal solo entitled "I May Be Back Some Day." The mounted service school detachment was organized in July, 1909, with soldiers picked from the four colored regiments. Since date of organization it has grown so rapidly that it is the largest single body in the United States Army. First Sergeant Walter Turner, the chief, is a man of ability. He has the welfare of all under him at heart. The mess under the directions of Sergeant Fried Ware cannot be beat and our bill of fare is ever ready for inspection. PLAINFIELD. N. J. The Nonparcel Club of Plainfield N. J. gave their eighth annual banquet on the evening of January 22 in their banquet hall. Twenty couples were served by R. Stevens, assisted by A. Shingle. H. Peterson and E. Johnson. On February 12, Lincoln's Birthday night, a minstrel show will be given by the members of the club at their club house on St. Mary's avenue. KANSAS CITY, MO. (BY RALPH W. TYLER) Kansas City, Mo.—This city's fame, throughout the self-matted East, rests apparently, upon its stock yards, its abattoirs, its meat markets, and its in the world, not even Paris, can boost of so beautiful and extensive systems of boulevards, or more handsome residences, many of which are fin de siècle buildings in New York millionaires which line Riveraide drive. The colored people throughout the country have just as erroneous idea of Kansas City's colored population; just as faint a conception or knowledge of their addresses of their brothers here in this city. If you want the very best evidence of race progress, of race loyalty and co-operation come to the city whose abattoirs supply large per cent of the meat, whose slaughterhouses are all of hustle here, among colored men and women, rarely seen, and an evidence of business thrift and activity unassured by colored men and women. And within there is culture and refinement, and Washington or at the presumed "Hub of the University"—boston. Two hundred thousand dollars invested here by colored men and women in business enterprises, and more than five million dollars invested in the session of the race here tells something of the progress made and being made by the race in this new metropolis of the West. Thirty-two colored churches here administer to the spiritual needs of the black community, through twelve modern school buildings, conserve the educational desires of the race, and thirty physicians, four dentists, eight lawyers and six or ten pharmacists, with the assistance of the black teachers, professional coteries the equal of the same number of whites here or elsewhere. The race is actively represented in thirty-six different lines of business, and in every line success is being recorded, and the race unity prevailing. In my visit here I have been impressed with the unusual enthusiasm and confidence in their ability to succeed against any odds that possesses and fairly envelops the colored people here. One reason assigned, and a very potent reason, is that the race being made here by the race in business is that this is the home of the banner local Negro Business League in the country, and that it has for president, Fortune J. Weaver, one of the leaders of the race. The man I have ever met. In Kansas City he is dubbed "the live wire." As indicating the activity of the local business league here, it may be said that although hereofotore laying claim to the largest memberships and greatest activity in the two new members have been added. The Kansas City Sun, under the able management of Editor Nelson C. Creus, constitutes another very helpful aid to race progress here. Even the colored women here have become inoculated with the business spirit, and quite a few have been U.S. citizens conducting such establishments as bakeries, cafes, dreaming and millinery shops, formal business, etc., in addition to the usual number found conducting hair dressing and manicuring parlors. Kansas City boasts of two of the best drug stores conducted by colored men owned by Dr. E. S. Lee, and that conducted by McCampbell & Houston. She boasts of one of the most successful and largest real estate companies, the Mro-American Investment Company, of which P. J. Weaver is president and the directing head. She is the owner of the Franklin, A. W. Harris and John H. Fairley, her thirty physiologists, all with a large collection, are among the most skillful in the city, and likewise can the same be said of her colored dentists. Her eight colored attorneys fullymeasure up to the best the white attorneys, and contribute to the best the treatment at the hands of the courts, and lamented out to the attorneys of the dominant race. Eighteenth street, for several blocks, and the interesting and parallel streets of the immediate vicinity, presents a busy and encouraging scene with its busy colored business establishments and the throne of loyal race men and women who conceive it to be their bounded duty to patronize them in order to afford increased opportunities for the young men and women of the city. One of the delightful and interesting characters, among the colored men of this city, is Prof. J. D. Bowyer. Although retired from active participation in the real hustling life of the Boulevard city he is as much interested as ever in the progress of the life he has the history of the city's growth in the metropolis, and the history of the advancement of the race here, at his tenure's end, and if you can catch him when enjoying a repute from clipping his coupons or adding up his bill, he can regale you with interesting minisciences of the part the race has played in the city's development. I have always observed, when visiting a city, that in proportion to the size of its schools, and the activity of its business league just that proportion is less educational and material progress. Kansas City's colored schools are in a very excellent condition, and are doing great under the supervision of a more educated Western University, just across the river, under President H. T. Kealing, is most intimately associated in the field of betterment in Kansas City. The school has a physician, lawyers and dentists while operating enthusiastically to advance the material progress of the race here, also serve to develop and maintain a charm in which robs business of that the institution merely for the dollars and cents. There are thirty thousand colored people in this city, and their high per capita wealth of $190 is the proof of their ability to how well they have learned to write well. They want, which the Wizard of Pokemon has been so earnestly and effectively teaching, Kansas City offers real concrete example of the progress along any and all difficult lines, educationally as well as financially. BALTIMORE, MD Ironstone, Md.—A big membership rally and mass meeting in the interest of the Colored Young Women's Association Association was held at Browning M. E. Church Tuesday evening.

IN the colored (pink) sporting supplement of the San Francisco Coll, Joe Murphy, in an heroic effort to start massive agitation relative to the drawing of the color line in organized ball, does a journalistic stunt which, while humorous for the absurdities contained therein, is a curious document for the immeasurable ignorance which this writer and others show on the subject. A trip must during the summer months, and then a visit to these parts after the 'closing of the big league season, would be quite an education to Measur. Murphy, et al. They would find that on week days and on Sundays throughout the season strong white and colored semi-professional teams clash on the ball field, and that in the fall the big league teams draw large crowds playing colored aggrievances. The article in question: Some of the magnates and officials of the Pacific Coast League are bitterly opposed to Manager Walter McCredie's plan of playing a series of games with the Chicago Giants, an aggregation of colored ball players. The Beavers played the colored towers during their training trip last season and were badly beaten by them. Now another series of games has been arranged between the two clubs to be played while the Beavers are in training in Santa Maria. While no official action can be taken against McCradle to prevent his team engaging in games with the ducky tossers, there are a couple of Coast League morals who do not mince any words when asked what they think about these games. Dan Long, the former leader of the Seals, who is the Pacific Coast representative of the Chicago White Sox club and is booking all their games out here, has been asked by Manager Staler of the Chicago Giants for a game with the White Sox when the club comes to California. Long has turned the proposition down coldly. He says: "Colored players are barred in organized baseball, and I can see no reason why white players should even meet them in exhibition games, if they are barred by the baseball powers. Baseball is a sport that must be elevated, and it is up to the managers and players to keep it free from criticism. "I never arranged or played in any games with colored players, and I doubt whether Mr. Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, would allow his team to play with the colored men." "J. Cal Ewing is strongly opposed to McCredie's allowing his team to play the colored Giants. "If I were a player working for McCredie," said Ewing recently, "and be asked me to go out and play against these colored fellows, I would refuse to do it for him. "There are two classes I bar from playing in park colored towers and bloomer girls, continued Cal. They will never use any ball park that I control. "The league has no power to prevent these exhibition games between the Beavers and Chicago Giants, but I am sure that nearly every director in the league would be opposed to these games." President Allan T. Baum of the Pacific Coast League is another who is against the idea of allowing whites and blacks to meet on the ball field. "Why, organized baseball does not sanction it," said Baum. "I have no jurisdiction in the matter, but my sentiments are strongly against it. I am sure that there is not another manager in the league who would consider playing with the GIants. A story is told to Murgy McGraw of the Giants, who picked up a phenomenal colored catcher some years ago and passed him off as a Cuban. After playing a few games, the identity of the colored player was learned and he was expelled from the game. 一 Not so long ago the sporting editor of the New York Mail remarked that the color line in pugilism was a great joke to him, and that the white fighter usually draws the line because of fear. The same can be said of the white baseball manager and ball player. Manager Walter MrCredie is the only game white man in the Pacific Coast League. He is not afraid to permit his team to meet a strong colored nine and fight it out on the diamond. There would not be a word of complaint to-day about the Beavers and Chicago Giants playing a series of exhibition games had not the colored team given undisputed evidence of its supremacy last spring. The cowardly practice of using the color prejudice subterfuge as a cloak to hide the white man's fear in open competition with the colored man in various avenues of endeavor will some day lose its effectiveness. The truth of the matter is some white managers and players are not opposed to playing colored teams solely on account of color, for if their aversion was based purely on color the Indian would not be permitted to join organized baseball, nor would teams of the two major leagues journey every winter to Cuba to engage in games with the native players, many of whom are as black as the ace of spades. Such idiotic vaporings as are emitted by Murphy would stir up a lot of muss if the Call was published in the South, where a vicious appeal to ignorant whites always find ready response; but fortunately the readers of this paper are in the West, the Pacific Coast League is in the West, and Manager McCredie is a man of his own opinions, who is not readily ensured by articles which reek with brunt anemus and cowardly assertions. LAFAYETTE BEER FLOUR HAM WINE COMING FROM THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE SATURDAY EVENING J. Francis Mores is in Mobile, Ala., where he is stage manager at the Gayetey Theatre.

Dossewell, amateur champion billiard player of New York State. C. F. Stradford, "College Boy," is back from visiting his parents in Tulson, Okla. He would like to meet any of the colored pocket billiard players of New York in a match game under the management of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Association. Address 440 Lenox avenue. MONTICELLO DEFEATS OBERLIN. Last Friday Monticello A. A. of Pittsburgh defeated Oberlin University of Oberlin, O., by the decisive score of 40 to 9, at South Side Auditorium, Pittsburgh. The game had many features. The Foster Photo Play Company is touring the South under the management of Will Foster. The pictures shown by the company, particularly the "Railroad Porter," are winning favor. Lottie Grady is singing between the reels and scoring. CRESCENT THEATRE Business is normal at the Crescent Theatre. The management is providing the patrons with some interesting, realistic motion pictures. On the bill the first half of the week were Frank Hanson, Nelson & Nelson, Annette Smith and Hamilton & Meyers. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Last Saturday evening, shortly after 11 o'clock, the east side of Seventh avenue, between 131st and 132d streets, presented an unusual appearance. One man left the Lafayette Theatre with a brass bed, while other men, and women were seen carrying a ham, a set of dishes, an umbrella, a bottle of wine, a bed quilt, a chicken, or some useful article. Passershy attracted by this queer procession, upon inquiring as to what it was all about, were informed that the Lafayette Theatre had been holding a country store. Many managers throughout the country have taken up the country store idea, which is becoming more and more popular. So successful was the Lafayette Theatre management in conducting its country store last Saturday evening that the policy will be continued. So every Saturday evening Harlem theatregoers will be given an opportunity to win one of the many useful articles put up by the theatre. The appearance of Abbie Mitchell, assisted by Will Marion Cook, occasioned greatest interest the first half of the week. Miss Mitchell admirably sane five songs, and was at her best. Will Marion Cook acted as accompanist and inspired confidence in Miss Mitchell as he alone can. This is truly a remarkable pair of artists, and to watch them work, knowing, too, what they are really capable of doing in the musical world, causes one to wonder what is the real reason they have not attained the distinction their respective talents merit. Saparo & Thomas have every reason to be pleased over their union as a vaudeville team. Their act is full of entertainment from start to finish, and Dike Thomas continues to stand out as an eccentric dancer and Saparo in sartorial effects. The singing of illustrated songs by Blanche Deas has been so satisfactory that she has been held over by the management. She is usually applauded before and after her work. Others on the bill were De Forrest, female imitator; Gordon & Gordon, and Martin & Martin. GEORGE JOHNSON DEAD. George W. Johnson, better known as "Laughing and Whistling" Johnson, whose songs are recorded through the phonographs, manufactured by the Edison, Victor and Columbia companies, died in the City Home Hospital, New York, January 23. His remains were buried by the various phonograph companies, were preceded by the Rew. J. Henry Taylor president of the Betterment League. The deceased was born a slave in Havana County, Va., 71 years ago, was educated in Lynn, Mass. He taught school in the South for a while. BILLIARD NOTES.

Monday, January 23, when they clash in a basketball game with the all-star Monticello quintet from Pittsburgh. Last season it took a series of three games to decide the champion, and the final game of the series, which was won by Howard here in New York, was witnessed by one of the largest basketball crowds that ever turned out to witness a game. The teams have not met this season on the court, and while the local fans know the strength of Howard this year it may be said that the Monticello team is faster and stronger than any team this organization has ever turned out, which is particularly due to the fine training given the team by Hunter Johnson of the University of Pittsburgh. Two of the leading local athletic teams will appear in the preliminary game and on the whole the card should be a very attractive one for lovers of basketball, especially those who appear to be fond of the out-of-town attractions, which was evidenced by the great audience that witnessed the Howard-Hampton game HOW HOWARD WON. To the Sporting Editor of The Age: The account of the recent Howard- Hampton basketball game in New York as given in the columns of The Age is greatly misleading and, in some de- grees, misleading. The team's team. The more fact that the account seems to favor Hampton rather than Howard, is of little concern since any writer has the right to his own opinion. A writer, however, especially when giv- ing an opinion of an event, should make it his business to base his opinions on the ascertainable facts in the case, but in this particular case, the facts seem to have been overlooked. For instance, the account says in part: "Hampton excelled in passing, although it lost the game on fouls. In their eagerness to get possession of the ball the boys were too active with their hands which proved costly." Then again it asserts that "In the last period, both teams fought gamely, but Hampton continued to foul Howard and 'Singer Building' Gilmore found it easy to make, a basket whenever called upon." The idea as expressed here, that Hampton lost and Howard won the game on fouls, can in no way be justified by a detailed account of the score; the score would convey just the opposite idea, for if nothing but the fouls had been taken into account Hampton would have won by 10 to 7, having thrown ten baskets from fouls as against Howard's nine. On the other hand, if nothing had been taken into account but the baskets made from the 59th St. T. 313 W., 59th St. WILLIAM MACK Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. Stage perform May 1-17.

Hampton's two point lead in the first half was due to her lead in foul goals; the thrown goals from the field were even, each side having made three which would have made the score 6 to 6. Hampton, however, got six points on balls against Howard's thereby making the score at the end of the half 12 to 10 in Hampton's favor. CLARENCE W. RICHARDSON.

From Genesis to Malachi, the Hebrew people and their state religion contained moral and religious truths superior to any other nation. They were worshippers of one living intelligent, righteous holy spirit, God, creator and救者 of the universe. They created unfettered creatures which created expectations of a living human person dwelling among them. These prophecies of the Immanuel gave to the people of Israel strong moral tendencies, deep religious favor and ever increasing belief in the reality of the birth of Immanuel."
