VOL. XXVII No. 21. CHIEF SAM SHOWS UP; THEN LEAVES Mysteriously Disappears, Said To Be Collecting Money In Delaware DENOUNCED AS IMPOSTOR Prince Frederick Bouman, a Native of Africa, Claims Chief Sam Admitted to Him He Was Not a Real Chief. SKIPPER QUITS IN A HUFF Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian General in United States, Communication With the State Department. Chief Sam, head of the Akim Trading Company, Ltd., who is promoting the African colonization scheme, put in his appearance in these parts last Monday, but he did not remain very long. "He came right in, turned right around and walked right out again." Chief Sam was seen Monday on board the steamer Curityba, which is lying at the end of a snow-covered pier in the Erie Basin, Brooklyn. He was heard giving his forty followers, who are suffering greatly from the snow and cold, words of good cheer. But Tuesday Chief Sam had departed as suddenly as he had appeared. It is said that he is in Delaware collecting additional funds for his enterprise. Prospects of the steamer Curitiba, which is to be christened the Liberia, sailing at a near date for Galveston are not particularly bright. Aside from the breakers the colonists are apt to encounter on the high seas, if they ever get off, they are now threatened with many other kinds. Capt. Edward Hanck who has been engaged to navigate the ship to Africa, has severed his connections with the Akam Trading Company, Ltd., and has applied to the Federal Bureau for assistance in getting money due him. Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian Consul General in this country, has communicated with the State Department at Washington and asked if anything could be done to prevent Chief Sam from renaming the steamer Curitiba the Liberia. Dr. Lyon asserts that Chief Sam is inducing the Negroes of the Southwest to go to West Africa, where the territory is under British control, and that to name the steamer the Liberia is misleading. Native African Wants Chief Sam Arrested. In the meantime Prince Frederick Bouman, a native African, who has been in the United States for a number of years, is denouncing Chief Sam as an impostor and has appealed to the local authorities to arrest him. Prince Frederick Bouman declares that Chief Sam confessed to him in the African tongue that he was not a real chief. Prince Frederick Bouman made the following statement to an Ace representative: "I was born in Unyora Albert Lake, Manza, British Africa, and I have traveled in the United States, England, Japan, Calcutta, Java and other countries. About three years ago, while in this country I was induced to buy some stock in the Akim Trading Company, 1821 Dean street, Brooklyn. Sam at the time was the moving spirit of the proposition. I did not get a receipt for the last money put into the business, and Sam kept putting me off until one day I cornered him and we had words. He admitted to me, in the African tongue, that he was not a chief but acting for the chiefs of the Gold Coast. "I told him that he would get an trouble in this country representing himself as an African chief, but he assured me that he had fixed everything up before he left the Gold Coast. A few months later, I went to California, sailing for a trip around the world. I returned to the United States about a month ago and I heard all about Chief Sam and his scheme to take the Negroes of this country to Africa. Liberia is the only place that is open to immigration in Africa, and I have asked the British Consul here, as well as the police, to investigate Chief Sam's scheme before he is allowed to leave with the steamer for Galveston." Over one hundred Negroes from Oklahoma and the Southwest are said to be in Galveston, Tex., waiting for Chief Sam and his steamer to take them to Africa. For a number of weeks it is reported they have been wandering around the wharves asking if there were any tidings of the immigration ship which was to take them to the Gold Coast.

Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, to Pittsburgh last week was a red letter event in the history of the colored people of the "Smoky City." Dr. Washington came to Pittsburgh primarily to speak at a Hampton meeting at Carnegie Hall, but there was a demand on every side for his services in other directions. For instance, the Pittsburgh Negro Business League arranged a special mass meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church for Wednesday evening. February II. following the Hampton meeting at Carnegie Hall. Although Dr. Washington was detained at the Hampton meeting until II o'clock, the people patiently awaited his coming, crowding the church to the sidewalk, lining the aisles and enthusiastically applauding the eloquent periods of his fine and inspiring address. The meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church was arranged by the following well known citizens, who are officers and members of the Pittsburgh Negro Business League: Officers—C. W. Posey, president; John T. Writt, first vice-president; D. R. Lewis, second vice-president; Geo. M. Robb, third vice-president; Thomas T. Jackson, secretary; Wm. N. Page, corresponding secretary; Wm. T. Ward, treasurer; Wm. H. Stanton, legal advisor. Executive Committee: N. T. Velar, chairman Wm. H. Stanton, John T. Writt, Daniel Roy, D. R. Lewis, Wm. N. Page, Geo. M. Robb, A. L. Ballard and C. A. Nevels Speaks at University of Pittsburgh. Upon his arrival at Pittsburgh and after being domiciled at the Hotel Schenley, Dr. Washington was conducted to the University of Pittsburgh, where he spoke for half an hour to the students of the School of Education. His reception at the hands of the students attending the university was most cordial and flattering. Dean W. G. Chambers, of the university, arranged this engagement. A banquet was given in Dr. Washington's honor at the Leondi Club, tendered by the officers and members of the local business league. While in Pittsburgh, Dr. Washington happened to step into the meeting being held by Billy Sunday with fourteen thousand people present, and was immediately called upon to take some part in the services of the hour. The colored people of Pittsburgh have been heartened, inspired and helped at the hands of their leader in a way that has seldom been true in the history of the visit of any man who has come among us in Pittsburgh. Maj. R. R. Moton, Commendant of Hampton Institute, accompanied Dr. Washington and also spoke at these various meetings. NEGRO CITIZENS HELP GET HOSPITAL MONEY. PATRSON, N. L. Feb. 18.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACK WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 18.—Quite a sensation was sprung here at the last meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University when a committee from Howard's Alumni Association appeared before the board and made grave accusations against Dr. Caryl Burbank one of the professors in the medical department, and Dr. W. C. McNeill, secretary of the medical school. The former is white and the latter is a colored man. Attorney Wm. I. Houston, formerly or Howard, was selected by the committee to file the brief and charge-backed by affidavits. Ferdinand D. Whitby, a former student, made affidavit to the statement that after waiting some six weeks for a report on his examination he met Dr. Burbank at Freedman's Hospital, and inquired as to his rating and received no satisfaction. Whitby charges that Dr. Burbank made studied efforts to confuse him by addressing to him questions in a manner that would excite laughter on the part of students, and by addressing him in a rough and harsh manner. William H. Montague made affidavit that Dr. Burbank, on or about March 16, 1912, told affiant in classroom, during recitation of the senior class, that he (affiant) stood as much show to graduate as a snowball passing through a heated region, and further declares that the remark caused him to leave school. Says Burbank Did Not Want Him to Locate in New Jersey. Dr. Thomas O. Johnson of Jersey City, N. J., a former student at Howard, makes affidavit that although he was one of four men in the entire class to enter the senior class without any condition, he was not permitted to graduate; that although while but an average of 212 points per month was required in infirmary work, and although he made 310 points in December, 115 in January, 225 in February, 660 in March, 515 in April, and 540 for half of May, an average for the six months of 370. and although the demonstrators assure him that his work was satisfactory, the secretary, Dr. McNeill, would not permit him to graduate. Johnson further makes affidavit: the following: "Dr. McNeill told me that as I intended taking the New Jersey State Board examinations, which are very rigid, and as recently a number of Howard men had failed to pass State Board examinations, the faculty Washington D. C., Feb. 18 Judge Robert H. Terrell was reappointed Municipal Judge by President Wilson, Wednesday. Only one other retiring Judge of the Municipal Court was retained. ST.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 18.

In passing sentence Judge Nott took occasion to score severely the jury which convicted Zitz because the verdict was not guilty in the first degree instead of in the second degree. He expressed regret that it was not possible for him to make the sentence heavier as he declared that the evidence warranted the severest punishment for the convicted brute. ONLY 30,000 OF THE 2,000,000 EDUCATED Dr. J. Edmestone Barnes Says Aborigines of Liberia Need Education PLAN TO ESTABLISH SCHOOLS Liberian Industrial Institution Apprais to Colored and White Americans for Financial Aid. Dr. J. Edmestone Barnes, who was at one time Minister of Public Works for Liberia, is in the United States in the interest of the Liberian Industrial Institution, which has been organized to establish industrial schools in the black republic. Dr. Barnes, who is a scholar and magnist, is well known in England and Germany. He was educated at Hilderberg University, and has represented England in South Africa as a civil engineer. Dr. Barnes says Liberia's greatest need to day is the education of its original people so that they may be able to use their minds and hands in concert to uplift themselves and contribute their share toward building up the country. Of the 2,000,000 inhabitants in Liberia only 30,000 are enjoying elementary and higher education, Dr. Barnes asserts, and that at least one million and a half are held in primitive ignorance and a state of helplessness who are capable of improving their condition if they could be aided to do so. In England the Society for the Establishment and Maintenance of the Liberian Industrial Training Institution and Schools, better known as the Liberian Industrial institution, has been formed, and prominent Englishmen have been interested in the project, among them being Lord Kinnaird, the Hon. J. P. Crommelin and Alexander H. Varnier. In Scotland, Robert Fleck, Commissioner of Education, and Thomas Neshit are identified with the movement. Appeal for Funda The following appeal has been issued by the society: For a considerable time we have had brought very forcibly to our attention by representative men of the Republic of Liberia the condition of the auorigines, who comprise about 70 per cent. of a population of over a sillion and a half. There are many varied impressions as to the causes which led to the foundation of that independent State by the philanthropic people of the United States of America, who were prompted by the noblest of ideals and by the sincerest goodwill toward the black people. The Republic was provided with the organization of State machinery, with Monrovia as its capital. The Training College there has been supplying the State with trained officials, including such well-known and distinguished men as Edward Wilmot Blyden, Richard Hillary Johnson, Benjamin Anderson, Arthur Barclay, and others. Owing to the lack of funds, no provision has been made for taking civiliza- (Continued on page 7) Utica Institute, Miss., Feb. 17—The tenth annual Farmers' Conference brought to this place farmers and representative men from all parts of the country, who came for the purpose of discussing matters of interest to all the people, and to take such steps as will better the condition of the rate.

PRICE FIVE CENTS THE CLEF CLUB A ROYAL HOST Gives Beefsteak Dinner At Reisenweber's Cafe Sunday Evening PROMINENT MEN PRESENT Business and Professional Men of the Race and Well Known White Actors and Artist Among the Guests. APPETIZING MENU SERVED The Evening Spent in Eating, Speechmaking and Singing—List of Guests at Beefsteak Dinner. The Cef Club established a reputation as a most royal host last Sunday evening when this well known musical organization gave a beefsteak dinner at Reisenweber's Cafe, Eighth avenue and 58th street, which was attended by members of the club and friends. The head chef at Reisenwebers, which is one of the principal eating places in New York, had been instructed to spare no pains in preparing a menu that would whet the appetites of the guests, and judging from the undivided attention the diners gave the many good things brought before them, the culinary artists performed their work most satisfactory. There were present representative business and professional men of the race, some of whom enjoy reputations as eloquent after dinner speakers; so during the evening the floodgates of oratory were turned loose and there was an indulgence in two fests—gastronomical and oratorical. Added to these features several musical numbers were rendered, as only such a gathering of colored men can. "Let Joy be Unconfined" was the official mandate issued by the Chef Club, and not a person violated this order. White Celebrities Present. Included in the list of special guests were Julian Le'Strange, an English actor of note, who is one of the principals in the cast of the "Yellow Ticket," now playing at the Julian Elunge Theatre; "Jack" Barrymore, one of the leading actors of the younger school in the United States; J. Montgomery Flagg, the artist, whose reputation is international in character, and "Jack" Jarrott, manager of the Winter Garden Roof Garden. Richard Bennett acted as toastmaster and proved himself fully capable of filling the onerous position. Tim Brvmn was chairman of the Committee on Arrangements. The principal speakers of the evening were Dr. Alexander A. Kellogg, J. Frank Wheaton, Julian Le'Strange, Charles W. Anderson, Dan Kildare, "Jack" Jarrott, C. W. McDougald, Fred R. Moore, Sam Lucas, J. C. Thomas, Jr., and George W. Harris. Each speaker gave the members of the Chel Club wholesome advice, urging them to form an effective organization and loyalty support. President Dan Kildare. The musicians were reminded that they come in contact with the best white people of the country, and that they are in a position, by their conduct, to create in the minds of white people, a favorable impression regarding the Negro. The Right Quintet, which is steadily employed at Reisenweber's Cafe, composed of Messrs. Lightfoot, Tisdale, Thomas, Logan and Adger, sang several songs in their inimitable and pleasing style, and experienced difficulty in getting to another part of the cafe to resume work. Telegrams of regret were read by President Kildare from members of the Clef Club who, owing to business, were unable to attend. The Menu. Although beefsteak "headlined" the menu, and was served to the guests, who were attired in white aprons of ample proportions, there were other, appetizing morsels which were objects of attack, as shown by the following menu: Canape Reisenweber Martial Manhattan Dubonnet Caviar Oyster Cocktail or Crab Flake Cocktail Ale or Beer Deviled Crab or Crab Raviage Soft Drinks BEEFSTEAK, Celery Lamb Chops, Celery Coffee Among those present were C.

SAVAGERY IN SOUTH CAROLINA The character of any people must be judged by the character of their rulers, of the men they elect to speak and act for them in all matters of lift and death. It has been so in all times and will, perhaps, be so in all times to come. Judged by this standard, the standard of mentality and morals, South Carolina is easily the lowest State in the Federal Union, the most backward in those Christian virtues to be found in the Christian brotherhood and citizenship, which concedes that every man's right censes where another man's right begins, and that in law and equity an injury to one is an injury to all. It is difficult to conceive of a more harbous condition of affairs than the people of South Carolina present at this time in the Governorship, in the State Legislature and in the Congressional delegation. Gov. Cole L. Blease comes as near being an educated savage as can be found outside a dime novel, while Senator. Benjamin Ryan Tillman has shown so much of the savage in his words and acts as to place him outside the Blaine classification. Such men are a discredit to any people and a menace to their peace and prosperity. But the people who select and support such leaders cannot be any better than such leaders. That is the law of equation, which weighs the good and bad on the right and left of the scale of human conduct, in their individual life and in their State and nation. So Calhoun and Hayne and Butler and Hampton have gone away in the shadows, but the wrongs they perpetrated against the State and nation stand in the judgment against them. In the discussion of the question of preventing white persons from teaching in the colored schools of South Carolina, members of the Legislature were so far in outraging the propieties: debate as to outlaw the Legislature as deliberative body. For instance, Mr Rittenburg of Charleston, where there are 45 white teachers in the colored schools, said: 'I do not ask that Charleston be exempted from the provisions of the incarne because the people of Charleston love the "nigger" any more than you do, or that we are any more in favor of equality than the people from the upper counties of the state.' I stand with every fiber of my body recounting the imminent against the women of Charleston, and during the debate on this measure in the House yesterday. Our women are just as good, just as bright, just as smart and just as clean as any of your wives and sisters. Berry one was born and bred in Charleston. It is peace and years and I don't know as you can remember the time when's Negro was brushed in Charleston. Why? Rumors allow the conditions impound upon an after the war, white teachers are teaching the Negro. Can you say, the most thing in Anderson County or the up county? Our people in Charleston, he said, know him to be both the "dilguer" down. If you people in Anderson and Abberice are afraid of social equality, it is your loathhast, not own. We have had white teachers in Negro schools for a generation or more and all the bills will be to work on injustice on Charleston County. Now, who is Rittenburg, whose name does not appear in the book of "Who Is Who" in Charleston before the war? He is evidently a stranger, an alien, in South Carolina; and yet he speaks as a native and as one having authority. "Our people in Charleston know how to hold the niggers' down," he said. Great Mosque! What do the "niggers" of Charleston know what to do! He is due Mr. Rittenburg to say that The Christian faith has reached a point among the thinking men as well as the masses of mankind where it is challenged in its essentials as a helpful influence which has revealed itself as a fact rather than a theory, a revelation rather than a mystery. The late Prof. Goldwin Smith of Toronto confessed, as Charles Dickens's "Barnaby Rudge" did, that it was all a muddle to him, and Dr. Charles W. Eliot now adds his Unitarian mite to the doctrine of unbelief, as many others have abolished hell, destroyed Jonah and the whale, and consigned infant damnation to the discard, the rubbish heap of the intellectual workshop. Even our own Bishop Charles Spencer Smith has destroyed the Noahic curses and blessings with an oratorical outburst more than an hour long, which the students of Wilberforce were constrained to listen to without comprehending. The preachers everywhere complain that the masses have fallen away from the faith, and that the pulpits face more fewly filled pews than crowded ones; while the managers of moving picture shows, dance halls, and the like, are kept busy with the moving throngs seeking for the pleasures that will drown their haunting sorrows for the moment and pay the price, the limit of their purse, to obtain them. It is not a craving of one race, but of all races, to find relief from the sorrows that haunt them in their working and leisure hours and that the churches fail to afford them, the comforter that makes their life burdens easier to be borne; not that the churches are not desirous of doing so, but that they are powerless to do so. Why? The poor masses need and ask for loaves and fishes, such as Jesus gave them by working miracles, showing them it was easy to make much out of a few things, but if they would have the wherewith to get the few things to pay the taxes they would find in the mouth of the fish the gold, but that they must first catch the fish before they could turn it into gold. Instead, therefore, of furnishing the people the food, the loaves and fishes, they must have, or showing them the way to make the money to buy them, the churches have become a drain upon the time and small moneys of their membership to sustain the church machinery, which, like the Federal Government, has become an extravagant, arbitrary and sloess tax monger, calling constantly for more and more money, to be spent lawishly in all directions, at home and in foreign missions—money pulled out of the masses who find it hard to pay the rent and the high cost of loaves and fishes. The pastors spend most of their time doing nothing and the remainder preaching about the hereafter, which always comes to most of us on Saturday and the first day of the month. That is to say, the churches, which are closed to the people for all purposes of life seven days of the week, are opened a part of the time in the seven days to tell the people about the hereafter death instead of the hereafter life. Now death is always behind a person, driving him if he will be driven, while life is always before him, if he will so consider it, and he cannot allow himself to be dragged back to death or forward to life, in the present, too far, without becoming swamped, overwhelmed. He wants to stand fast in the present, and he can only do so by making his past secure in good words that answer to his voice or signature in the present. That is the common-sense view, the only one that the grocer and rent man will accept, and in like manner the only one that satisfies the demands of the churches to keep them going, although they are closed to the people wholly, in hours, some five of the seven days. It is beside the question to plead that the churches are doing all they can to lift the people up, when they are closed to the people five days of the seven, and offer the cold comfort of a future to those who have but cold comfort in the present, and when they demand so much for their support and give so little in return for what they exact in dollars and cents, which are so much blood and sweat, loaves and fishes, at so much per pound. The true Christian philosophy should teach the people how to live best and wisest along the lines of least resistance, least expenditure of vital force, of sweat in the face, which is so much blood out of the heart—food stiffs; for if men are taught to live wisely they will die wisely; to live cleanly they will die cleanly. But it is of greater importance that men live wisely and cleanly than that they die so, for men die as they live. This present life is the chief concern of the people and should be of their teachers. We need a great deal of church extension work among the colored people such as Dr. Ranson and others are doing in New York and men like minded are doing in other large cities; we need it because the young people of the race are getting away from the pulpits and going in ways that do not make for high and noble manhood and womanhood. People want to be taught how to live, more by example than by precept, such as the Salvation Army teaches in one way and the Christian Associations in another; and people want to see the preachers get busy with the world's work of to-day, with the people's work, and in a helpful way. We want to help the churches to find out what sort of work the people need and require of them; we therefore invite the people in the pews and the preachers in the pulpits to discuss the matter in THE ACK, so that the best results may be obtained. The work of Abyssinia, St. Mark's and St. Philip's churches in providing better houses for their people is the sort of Christian work that commends itself by its usefulness to the churches and helpfulness to the people. the glackguardism was of the highest of the low class delivered in the debate. But what are we coming to, ye and I and us of the nation, when such things can be said and done in one State without shaking the pillars of the nation? SIN. AND DESIRE DOING THINGS. There is both in this country and in Europe a pronounced tendency toward immorality in the fashions of dress, popular entertainments and in eating and drinking that alarms all thinkers who would keep the Sinites and Desirites within proper bounds of constraint for the good of society and for themselves. When those who should be a light unto the world, the leaders of thought and living, become as a darkness by their example, it has always been the disposition of the underworld, the alleged submerged tenth, to overthrow the avenues, boulevards and streets out of the side streets, the alleys and slum districts, and while menacing the life of society keep the police and courts busy Here in New York the gummen, gangsters and petty thieves work the game of disorder and confusion in the day and night and keep decent people thinking as to what will happen to them. It is even worse in Chicago than in New York, and a like condition prevails in all the large cities of the country. High society sets the pace in extravagant living and vulgar display, in dress and manners, and low society catches the movement; so that, in public and private, the vulgar and suggestive movements and manners of men and women and the more vulgar and suggestive fashions in women's clothing; bordering often on the nude, breed immorality as decayed meats breed maggots. The Harrisburg Telegraph pictures what it styles "Horrors!" as follows: After the tight shirt, what? has been a question that has given even the most mediate of mundane came for thought. And now, behold, the answer is at hand, and it has possibilities sufficient to hold the attention of 'most any body for a wonderful moment or two. From a gathering of fashion experts at Chicago commer, the decree that "the bustle is meant to be worn this season, of a size to be ground by individual taste." Right on the books of this interesting bit of more gossip another to the effect that "the high alert is to remain for another summer." In your imagination equal to the task of conjuring up a pretty girl garbed in an outfit draped artificially over one of those wire bird-cages that used to maneuver under the name of hustle? Don't say they won't do it. A woman would take 'em off altogether if fashion no decreed. That is the shake of it and the danger, that women are disposed to bow to fashion's decree, even to "taking 'em off altogether," as they did in the decline of Rome and all the great States before it when men will not only tolerate but applaud the degradation of womanly decency and self-respect that will finally drag them all down together. Adam was the head of the house, but allowed Eve to tempt him as the serpent had tempted her, and when called to account they all fell together, and mankind have been doing it ever since whenever they have followed the lead of their women. It all begins in the private and social life of the people, but inevitably corrupts its way into the church, the State and the nation. When Sin and Desire are allowed a free hard, as they are now, they will eat and drink and debauch the life out of any people. NORFOLK'S DRINK BILL The national liquor bill is one of the largest single items of expenditure against the people every year, and for which they have the least to show. as liquor absorbed into the human system is like good water absorbed into sand; it returns no interest, pays no dividends, but leaves the system weaker instead of stronger by the absorption. It is confessedly a disease and crime breeder, the liquor item, which the city, State and nation all legalize and tax heavily, putting a premium upon disease and crime, instead of prohibiting by national law the manufacture and sale of liquors except for medicinal and art purposes. The evil can only be destroyed by national law backed by national public opinion. Can this be gotten? The Christian people of the United States and Europe will have to answer that question affirmatively, and soon, or go the way of Rome, Greece and Babylon, whose people ate, drank and revelled themselves into mental and physical decay and death. Christian civilization should be able to render a better account of its stewardship than that. The Civic Betterment Committee of the Baptist Brotherhood of Norfolk has made an investigation into the drinking habits of the 40,000 colored people of Norfolk. The following is a summary of the report: New Jersey in Maryland typically support thirty-dollar saloons and spend an average of $1,300 a day, or a half million dollars a year, for whiskey was one of a series of stuffing facts brought out in a report made on Crisis Batterment at the meeting of the Brotherhood of the First Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. The report was read by Mr. E. A. Fields, chairman of the commission, who gathered the data from official sources. Mr. Fields' report set forth that there are in Norfolk eighty-five saloons. Of this number ninety-five are in the so-called black hats, and derive practically their whole maintenance from Negro trade. The bars in the white sections, or the main business sections of the city, draw the color line on the Negro and it is said when a Negro goes into one the downtown bar an errand he has to remove his. The liquor-drinking Negro in city therefore takes their餐ware to the ninety-five bars in the Negro section, all of which are owned by white men, with one exception. How much money do the 101,000 colored people of Greater New York spend annually in saloons? It is an interesting question. EDITORIAL NOTES. Can't we have some more policemen in New York? Poor Haiti should be delivered from her ambitious daughters and turned over to Royal sons, who do me want to be President and go to Paris when they die. Senator Augustus O. Bacon, of Georgia, died suddenly last week. We have no tears to shed. There is not one of the Southern Senators at Washington for now, they should have any. We do not love our enemies any more than they love us. If the white real estate dealers in Harlem who want to fix metes and bounds for the colored people, would attend to their own business and adjust the lines of least resistance, they would make more money and sleep better after the summing hour. ? The high class literary colored people who used to appear sometimes in the monthly and weekly magazines have, it appears, died out or run to seed, like colored pugilists and jockeys, whose names seem appear in the highlight. Negro names in the newspaper now a contributor, where it was a very common occurrence ten years ago. How can no strange a thing be explained? There is plenty of literary talent among us, to be found in the colored newspapers and magazines. The effort to bar out blacks from the country may fall to get into the new House Immigration bill, but that cannot be accepted as a fact until the bill has passed both Houses of Congress. It is to be regretted that the question of whether blacks are aiding into the country as immigrants on the condition that others are more desirable, has been raised in American politics, as we shall probably hear more about it before the Wilson Administration and the Democratic Congress finish. And day for day for the Negro citizens when the preacher's son became President. We have learned from dear experience that it is easier to start for Africa than to get there, and to stare there than to live and prepper there. And that is a remarkable condition of african life. The African people fifty years have built great states all over Africa, and some of them have become fabulously wealthy. The Indian races all over the Western Hemisphere died out as the white races converged upon them; those of Asia did so as well. The African peoples appear to be doing the same. What is the explanation of it? What may our wise men? Senator Bois Penrose, of Pennsylvania, has announced that he is a candidate to succeed himself in the Federal Senate. At the primary elections, Mr. Penrose will be a candidate parties will also have candidates. One of the surprises of the last Presidential election was that Pennsylvania was one of the four of the forty-eight states. There are a great many Negroes in the Progressive party in Pennsylvania, but why we have never been able to understand. Senator Penrose is one of the war of the old one the new. He will hope he will keep the State in the effort to succeed himself. Porter Derrill's Policy After reading the article concerning Pastor Russell's "Jim Crow" policy in your issue of Thursday, February 12 at the Temple of Creation, West 630 that I should ask space in your valuable paper to comment on his actions. I am sorry and disappointed for his sake that such an able divine as Pastor Russell is found exhibiting in his attitude the fruits of unrighteousness and unrighteous members of the association who are assisting in the support of same. Then there is the way in which he tried to defend his cruel attitude against the colored members of the association by referring to Luke 16:11, entirely different from what the gentleman had in his mind. However, why need we be surprised at such an attitude? Pastor Russell, just the same as the lower and vicious members of his race, is a mere human being and cannot help be crowding and negregating Negroes, which, to thein, is highly commendable. JOSEPH TAYLOR. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Negroes Are Getting Together. To the Editor of The Age: A few days ago I wrote the editor of the New York Times, but the letter was refused publication. It was as follows: "In notice in this morning's Times that Mr. Vardaman is working on the warpath; evidently trying to curry favor with his constituents by maligning the Negro. Of course, most Americans by this time know that Mr. Vardaman has a weakness for trying to put his heel on the neck of the Negro. The color question is a troubling problem. The Senator, otherwise he would never have made the ridiculous statement that "the women of the South are living in a state of secrecy with more dread than in the days when the wild man and the wild beast roamed the frontier." Anybody with a fair share of intelligence, an unprepared mind, and a keen awareness in the South known this is a canard. However, the braying of such men as Vardaman, Blease, and a few others of like ilk is having an opposite effect to that desired by them. It is causing the Negroes to unite for their own good as they have not done here. Supporting the Negro Press. To the Editor of The Ace: Please find inclined $1.50 for renewal of my subscription for one year in advance. I must say that the New York Age ought to be in every Negro's home, because it brings the news from all the surrounding countries and almost every city, town and village in the country; about ourselves and how in like manner other races have sprung up and are marching victorious to success. I have always been a true Negro to the race, and when other members of my race are reading white papers and journals I am reading the Negro papers and journals and Negro literature, newspaper, magazines, bookstories and all business enterprises conducted by members of the race. I have been introducing The New York Age to every man and woman of the race here and hope that the time is not far off when never member of the race will keep step to the music of progress which this race is mak- RACE PREIUDICE (By Dr. Frank Crane in the N. Y. Globe). Dr. Toyokichi lyenaga, professor of history in the University of Chicago, in a recent lecture thus delivered his opinion in respect to race prejudice: "The almost universal and tenacious hold upon human beings leads to the risk of racial prejudice among roots in the human instinct, endowed by our Creator in order to preserve the purity of blood. And the truth must be most frankly and with good grace acknowledged that there is an inequality among races, a superior and inferior race, a racial superiority and mental, among human beings of the same race." The Creator has been accused of many of the crimes and stupidities of man; the practice of rulers in spending the earnings of the work-people in ostentation luxury and the sport has ostentatiously inflicted the divin's kings'; the right of millionaires, whom the people have enriched, to bestow the vast governmental functions of wealth upon dissolute and incapable sons has been defended by 'the divine right of private property'; and the custom of siding with the oppressors is sidedered to be the divine privilege of the orthodox; but it has remained for the distinguished Mr. Iyenga to saddle upon an unoffending Delty the responsibility for one of the norewant, self-conceited and ignorant prejudices which customary, whose principal diversion was slaughtering the tribes who happened to live over the river or across the mountain, or said sibboleth instead of sibboleth. Race prejudice is no more than a magnified and racial egotism. Its orion is cultivated and of intelligence, selfishness, and pure cursedness. The beauty of believing in "superior law" is that the particular race of the bellied people is more powerful. There never was a "chosen people" that did not choose itself. We do not believe the comforting dectrine of election are those who think they are the elect. There has been only one race able to create a civilization, and that was the white race, the Aryans. If there were any new race, their civilization would have been easily perfectable. But there were inferior races as well, the yellow and the black races, which always and everywhere adulterated the pure white blood. So it seems God made another misfit race, the black race, whose white. The count traces his own ancestry back to the unadulterated Aryans; so, of course, the Aryans are the real stuff. The childish egotism of the defenders of preferred stock in blood is amusculation. Of old, Job answered such argument fully, and said: "No doubt ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you!" And an angel of the Lord also once said to a provostial Apostle: "What God has made cal lthou not common!" THE NEGRO AND HIS SCHOOLS. (From, N. Y. S. Sem.) Word comes from South Carolina that the lower branch of the General Assembly has passed the Fortner bill to prohibit white persons from teaching in Negro school. At first blush this information sounds almost incredible. But it is not too strong to say that if such barbarous legislation becomes a law South Carolina will deserve the degradation that will inevitably fall upon all of her people, for it is exaltate that a blight cannot fall upon one section of any community, however large, without a blight falling into it, it is impossible to brutalize an inferior without the irradiation of the superior. The proposition that while teachers are prone to lead Negro children "to aspire to social equality and committing is not only preposterous but the theory is not true" who has lived in the South knows full well that such puerile arguments are merely the last resort of an inherent mental obliquity which comes unconcealed in the question is broached. The fact is that if there is any method on earth where Negro children may learn the elements of respect, discrimination and, order, it is to be through the medium of white teachers. It is required for law and of white teachers. There is one noteworthy gleam of light, though, in this mediæval legislation. It is that a newspaper of the character and standing of the Columbia people, the humanity to speak out the truth on this Fornier bill. After tearing to shreds the unchristianlike substance of the bill, which it proves to be "indefensible in morals and inexcusable as a device of expediency," the State has passed the bill that the Negroes from South Carolina and their counteract "a law making the enticing of Negroes to leave the State a criminal act." Since when have legislators been noted for logic, reason and consistency? But the note upon which we particularly like to dwell is contained in those words: "There will be men to say whenever a newspaper crises 'Justice!' for the Negro it is 'Negro lovin' In their reeking ignorance the poor blind fools are objects of pity. They shall not be allowed to speak out the truth of South Carolina against entering upon a course at war with the eternal laws of light and holiness." When journalism in the South can rise to this breadth of view and spirit of charity, legislation, like the Fortner and die at birth in shame, and oblivion VARDAMANIA To the Editor of The Evening Post: Sir: As reported in the press, the Hon. James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, declared in the United States Senate, on the issue of the Southern States were living to-day in a state of siege with more dread than in the days when the wild man and wild beast roamed the frontier." The white women of the South, Mr. Vardaman explained, were in this "state of siege" because of the viciousness of the Southern States. As a Southern man, for years a resident of Mississippi, I cannot let pass unchallenged what seems to me one of the vilest and most ridiculous slanders ever spoken against a race. Can it be possible that Mr. Vardaman does not know that the white woman, who cannot help knowing, that the white women of the South go whither they will an freed as the women of any other section of the country; he must know that in the South—especially in country districts—the white coachman does not except, in all cochlear Negroes, and that it never enters the head of a white woman to distrust her coachman, no matter where she orders him to drive. Mr. Vardaman must know that, in all the country districts of the South, it is very common to see aristocratic families—driving themselves in burgles, phaetons, and surries; and he never saw "dread" in the face of one of them of anything more dreadful than an unruly horse! The women of the South in a state of siege! he confronts Eastern and Western colleagues in the Senate, is professed pity for their ignorance of Southern conditions and therefore you cannot discuss this race question with me on its merita." But let it be here added that there are thousands of good people in Mississippi whom Mr. Vardaman is not fooling to-day, and never has fooled. And he is not fooling to-day, and never has fooled. And Vardaman himself. How well he knew it when he could not be begged, enjoined, or teased, during his Senatorial campaign, into meeting his Rival, Senator Percy, or his other rival; Mr. Alexander, in question of repealing the Fifteenth Amendment! There were not ox-tensions enough in Mississippi to have dragged Mr. Vardaman to a platform of joint debate with Leroy Percy, though Mr. Vardaman showed campaign and Mr. Percy was two too busy as one of Mississippi's acre lawyers to enter the arena of State politics. Mr. Vardaman showed excellent appreciation of the good sense of thousands of Mississippi men in campaign itinerary. Senator Percy's home city, Greenville, and Senator Percy's home county, Washington, though Washington is one of the blacks in South. He may afford to sit in the Senate, but he says to Senator Clapp, or to Senator Jones: "You do not know." But he could not afford to stand in Washington County, Miss., and say to Senator Jercy: "You do not know." Mr. Vardaman has never been accused of needing a guide to the buttered side of his bread!

Klugh, of the Immaginal Baptist Church, presided and opened the meeting with prayer. He stated that the chief purpose of the meeting was to try to interest our race in the community to buy and read more Negro newspapers, and periodicals than they have in the past, in order that we may be better informed regarding the progress our people are making throughout the country, the indignities we have to submit to and the obstacles we have to overcome.

When asked if he was a stranger, he said "yes" and that he had traveled ten thousand miles, coming direct from Egypt, and his home was on the south coast of Africa. Later it was learned that he went to the church and proved to be a total stranger to the pastor, with no recommendations letters or credentials. Under those conditions, the Rev. Mr. Klugh would not recognize him as a missionary or minister of the Gospel and the gentleman went away seeking other fields of harvest.

HOWARD ALUMNI ASS'N PREFERS GRAVE CHARGES thought an additional year of inharmary work would strengthen me. If I had intended to locate in some other State than New Jersey, it would have been different. Dr. Johnson makes adidavit that "although admitting all the records had been turned into his office the secretary reported a rating of but 60 per cent, in practical (inharmary) operative dentistry, and 60 per cent, in practical prosthetic dentistry. It was also charged by the attorney for the committee from the Alumni Association that when one colored student in the medical department said to Dr. Burbank, "You must have a prejudice against me" meaning himself personally. Dr. Burbank relied with some "You forget I am a white man" etc. An original letter from Dr McNeill was also filed with the board by the committee evidencing the fact that some student had been charged 6 per cent. interest on deferred tuition payments without the existence of any negotiable note calling for interest, and one letter filed showed that Dr. McNeill, the secretary, had asked this rate of interest from one Charles W. Dorsey of Cleveland. With the brief filed with the board were seventeen exhibits of affidavits. The alumni committee, through its attorney, not only charged the use of profane language on the part of Dr. Burbank and the exacting of 6 per cent. interest on deferred payments on tuition by the secretary, Dr. McNeill, but charged gross discrimination against some students and autocratic treatment of both students and demonstrators. The charges, backed up with affidavits, made a profound impression on the board, it is said, and caused more than a mild sensation. It is reported that the board of trustees received the brief and exhibits, and promised to make an investigation and report their findings at the next meeting of the board in June next. It is expected that both Dr. Burbank and Dr. McNeill will make answer to the charges, which the board, naturally, would request. ONLY 30,000 OUT OF THE 2,000,000 EDUCATED tion to the multitude of abortions of the Hinterland and instructing them in the industrial and other arts so necessary in any system of National Education. It is with the object and for the special purpose of meeting this educational need that we are prompted to call for the following scheme: That a sum of 500,000 be raised with which to establish an tain an Industrial Training Institution in the Town and Port of Cape Palmas and in other suitable centres.

There will be classes for teaching various domestic subjects and handicrafts, with the best systems of agriculture most suited to the country; the correct method of tilling the soil; the cultivation of economic plants, and the proper process of curing them; also carpentry, blacksmithing, building construction, etc. There will be classes for teaching various domestic subjects and handicrafts, with the best systems of agriculture most suited to the country; the correct method of tilling the soil; the cultivation of economic plants, and the proper process of curing them; also carpentry, blacksmithing, building construction, etc. The originator of the scheme is the Hon.
