GENERAL VILLA,HEAD OF REBEL ARMY SAID TO BE AN AMERICAN NEGRO Mexican Leader Is Positively Identified By Former Comrades. Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXVII NO. 22. GENERAL VILLA, HEA SAID TO BE AN Mexican Leader Is By Former WAS A U. S. SOLDIER Villa Said To Be George Goldsby Who Was at One Time Sergeant Major of the 10th Cavalry. GEORGE GOLDSBY'S CAREER Sergt. Major E. P. Frierson of the 10th U. S. Cavalry Furnishes Record of Goldaby while in U. S. Army. Advices to The Age from Ft. Huashuca, Ariz., where the 10th Cavalry is stationed, state that members of the "Fighting Tenth" and others are inclined to believe that Gen. Pancho Villa, known as the "Conquerer on Herseback," of the Constitutional Army in Mexico, is an American Negro. General Villa seems to be looked upon by the United States Government as the one to overthrow President Huerta and the present regime in Mexico. He is just now in the limelight owing to the Benton tragedy in which Benton, a subject of Great Britain, met death during a quarrel with Villa. Villa has been positively identified by W. A. Haynes and Fred Boott of San Francisco, as George Goldaby, ex-sergeant, ex-first sergeant and ex-sergeant major of the 10th U. B. Cavalry. The following record of George Goldaby has been furnished by Sergt. Maj. E. P. Frierson of the 10th Cavalry: George' Goldsby joined 10th Cavalry from recruit depot (having enlisted at Memphis, Tenn.)

In the course of an address on "The New Education from a National Point of View" delivered before the Educational Society of Baltimore last Saturday evening by Lahir R Abercrombie, member of Congress from Alabama, declared the solution of the race question will come through cooperative effort in the part of intelligent and all of both races and all secr- relative to Negro education.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 24.—"Seeing the Negro Working Out His Own Salvation," was the subject of the lecture recently delivered by Dr. Weatherford of this city, General Secretary of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., to the social workers attending the session of the American Inter-Church College and other persons of the city. The lecture was given, at McKendree Church. Dr. Weatherford has given much study to the race question, especially to that phase of it which involves the Negro in the South. Being himself a Southern man by birth and residence, he has had opportunity to study the question from the standpoint of a true understanding of the Negro and the Southern man's attitude toward him. Dr. Weatherford is the author of several widely read books on the Negro problem, these books being used extensively in institute work by social workers. Dr. Weatherford also used in his lecture a number of stereopticon pictures, showing the conditions in which vast numbers of the Negroes live and have their being in all sections of the Southern States. Some of the scenes showed the appalling squader of so many of them, while others showed the progress being made by many to raise above their environment. Dr. Weatherford showed some interesting pictures of farm life, where the industrious Negroes owned their farms and had well-kept, clean house. These were in striking contrast to the wretched conditions of the Negroes in the crowded and congested tenement sections of the cities, where whole families often lived in one room. In commenting on the latter conditions depicted, Dr. Weatherford said: "There is a brighter side to this question. I find conditions in the Negro schools and homes generally good in the South. The Negroes are sober and industrious, and send their children to school. Hundreds of thousands of Negroes in the South own their own homes, and in many cases large farms in addition. These farms have been cultivated just as the government farm agents have told them, and in many cases they are making more than their white friends who live near ST. ATHANASIUS SCHOOL GIVES ENTERTAINMENT Special to Two New York Art BRUNSWICK, Ga., Feb 24. On Friday evening, February 20, a pre-Lenten entertainment was given at St. Athanasius School, Wm. A. Perry, principal, by the physical training department for the industrial work of the school. The program was under the direction of Miss Carriebel Cole and bespoke the excellent work being done for the youth of Brunswick. The performance of the children in the morality play, "The House of the Heart," would have done credit to amateurs of the first class and they carried out their dance numbers with harmony and precision. Miss Cole, in the rendering of her numbers, gave a finished performance. Miss Dolores C. Smith contributed no small part in making the entertainment a success. Miss Smith also assisted a pianist. The delightful performance of the pianist, Miss Kabel M. Hurlong, our second grade teacher, relieved Miss Cole of any anxiety for that necessary part of her program. Miss A Elizabeth Delany, another member of St. Athanasius' faculty, assisted by Miss Elizabeth W. Gooch, our music teacher, took care of the refreshments with profit to the industrial department. The pleasure of the evening was enhanced by the courtesy and attention shown our patrons by the program ladies, our teachers, Misses Sadie E. Convers, Mary R. Harris, Laurie C Holman, Huldah F. Macarthy Gerrendt E. Thomas and Hartie E. Williams BRANDS VARDAMAN AS A DANGEROUS ADVISER The Philadelphia "Ledger" Criticises Blatant Mississippi FAIR PLAY IS DEMANDED Daily Paper Characterizes Rentings of Vardaman as "A Stupid Effort to Kill Negro Progress." Special to The New York Acr. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 25.—Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, whose principal claim to statemanship is that he is able to get into public print by making asinine expressions on the floor of the Senate with regard to the Negro, is being severely criticised nowadays by representative, daily papers, the majority of publication having tiged of Vardaman's rantings and are not backward in hinting to the blatant politician that he is doing the white people more harm than good. The Philadelphia Ledger is one of the latest papers to reprimand Vardaman and in an editorial under the caption "Stupid Effort to Kill Negro Progress," speaks of Vardaman as follows: "Senator Vardaman is convinced that there is no other issue in America so important as the race question. He may make it as critical as he thinks it is if he persists in so violent an attitude as that evinced by his opposition to the reappointment to the Municipal Court bench in Washington of Judge Terrell. Against the man himself no objections have been idol. His skin is the reason given for opposition to his confirmation. "The race problem cannot be solved by pressing the black man down by striking whenever his head appears above ground. If he is ignorant, it is wise to educate him. If he is immoral, it is necessary to teach him to be moral. If he is improvident, it is imperative that he taught thrift. He has been improved by contact with the white race and he can still further be improved. It is stupidity of the richest type to maintain that the Negro is dangerous in his present state, and that therefore he must be kept in his present state. Statesmanship, on the contrary, would offer a goal, a prize a reward for virtue. That much incentive even an animal has. "Senator Vardaman's sincerity need not be questioned, but he represents a class of men whose prejudiced views them very dangerous advisers. It is probable, indeed, that they are greater enemies to the whites than to the blacks. There is no demand that a man should be exalted simply because he is a Negro, but the fairness and decency of the country do insist that when a man has proven his capacity and has won recognition he shall not be penalized and weighted down with humiliation simply because a few politicians are unable to differentiate between the ignorant laborer in the cottonfield and the man who has developed and improved himself. The 'new freedom,' we may hope, is not for Caucasians only." COLORED WOMEN RAISE $10,166 IN BALTIMORE Special to Tue. New York Age BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 25. The campaign for larger quarters for the various centers of the Young Women's Christian Associations ended Saturday night. The colored association raised $10,100 exclusively among the colored people and the whites raised $400,000. When the news of the success of the colored workers was brought to the headquarters of the white workers much enthusiasm prevailed, and many words of commendation were spoken. There were nine teams working for this colored association. Among the leaders in the fight were Mrs. Martha E. Murphy, president of the Colored Y. W. C. A.; Mrs. Addie Waits Hunton of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Mrs. Hannah Smith, general secretary of the local colored association; Miss Eva Bowles who has charge of the city work among colored associations, and a number of prominent uplift workers. The association will receive a generous sum from the $400,000 secured by the whites. The Y. W. C. A is doing a most credible work here. It has been housed in its present home, which it has bought and paid for since 1902. The structure has outgrown the present needs of the work, however. The colored people subscribed $31,000 toward a New Y. M. C. A building from months ago.

Many of them had been constant visitors of the conference and reported their progress in gaining land and making crops since last visiting the conference. ```markdown ``` CELEBRATE THEIR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 24. - Married just at the dawn of freedom in 1844, Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Johnson of this city on Thursday night celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of their wedding, surrounded by the four living children, and receiving the congratulations of a large number of people from all portions of the State. The husband, who is 72 years of age, is yet alert and vigorous and is said to be able to write as much new business in insurance as many a younger man. To the couple seven children were born, four of whom are yet living. They are C. First, F. D. Jr., and F. H. Johnson, and a married daughter, Mrs. Fliza J. Ender. The oldest, Dr. C. First Johnson, is one of the constructive leaders of the Negro race. Mrs. Johnson is the employees of the Union Mutual Vid Association, through Edward E. Metall presented to the aged couple a home-made silver tea service, inlaid with gold. Mr. Johnson attempted to express himself but broke down, "I have tried to do my duty," he said, while the tears down his cheeks, "and I feel that God has blessed me and my wife. I have the young people here will take a lesson for it as is to do good and be controlled as it is to do otherwise." A large number of people from all regions of the state attended the celebration and practically every district of the Union Mutual Vid Association. DR. W. C. MCNEILL IS DEFENDED BY FRIENDS DR. W. C. MCNEILL IS DEFENDED BY FRIENDS Assert Charges Preferred Against Him Result of Personal Grievances HOW FUND WAS RAISED Seven Members of Senior Faculty at Howard Said to Have Collected Fund to Help Needy Students. Special to The New York Ann WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25.—The filing of charges against Dr. W. C. McNeill, secretary of the Howard University Medical School, and against Dr. Burbank, account of which exclusively appeared in last week's Age, are not taken seriously by the friends of Dr. McNeill, who, they claim, can easily refute each and all to the satisfaction of the board of trustees. The friends of Dr. McNeill assert that the fact that the committee from the Alumni Association is composed of three graduate attorneys of the school, Messrs. Houston, Waters and Nutter, and one minister, presents evidence to show that the physicians who are most intimately connected with the school, and who know most about it, do not countenance the charges. As one physician put it, "The Alumni Association can't run Howard Medical School." It is further stated that the Alumni contributes nothing to the Medical School, and that the charges are the result of personal grievances. Especially bitter are some of the friends of Dr. McNeill against James Waters, one of the committee from the Alumni whom they charge with being a general disturber. The filing of the charges, as published in Twin Ages last week, caused considerable discussion here, and, as true in all cases, there were those who defended Dr. McNeill and those who stood with the Alumni Association Committee, but the medical fraternity appears practically a unit in defense of Dr. McNeill; at least not one of them, it is reported, would accept membership on the committee. Dr. J. William Ford Makes Affidavit. Dr. J. William Ford, a surgeon dentist practicing in Newark, N. J., and a Howard graduate, it is learned, also made affidavit that interest was requested of him by Dr. McNeill on overdue tuition, or graduation fee of $40. Among the exhibits filed with the charges was a letter from the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Interior, in reply to a letter from James Waters taking up the interest phase of the charges. The Acting Assistant Secretary states the President of Howard advised that the fund from which loans were made to needy and worthy students was raised by seven members of the senior faculty, and that during the past five years eight students had paid interest on loans aggregating $55. Investigation discloses a prevailing belief that impoverished students who are assisted from this fund, made up by faculty members, ought to be willing and glad to pay a fair rate of interest since otherwise they might have been forced to leave school because of their inability to raise money required of them. The Alumni committee claims that Dr. McNeill exacted interest from some and not from others, thereby discriminating, but as the fund from which advantages were made consisted of no school funds, but on the contrary consisted of the voluntary contributions of seven faculty members, friends of Dr. McNeill contend discrimination, if any, cannot be made a matter of school record, that he was perfectly free to charge or not charge interest. The Alumni committee contends it is justified in tiling the charges, which contain specific evidence of discrimination on the part of Dr McNeill, and improper language on the part of Dr Durk bank, to justify the separation of body from Howard Medical School. The consensus of opinion, however, is that the charges will fall flat, and that Dr McNeill, at least, will come through unsatisfied. PHILA. BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE GETS OFFICERS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Pittsburgh, Pa. Feb. 25. The Men's League elected the following officers for the ensuing year. Charles H.

MAN. 110 YEARS OLD DIES IN PHILADELPHIA Special to The New York Age SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK ACE Pittsburgh, Pa. Feb. 25. According to a certificate owed at the office of the city clerk Monday by the coroner Theodore N. Harris of N. 1807 South 100th street, was 110 years old when he died on Sunday, February 25. The coroner says that Harris was born in Maryland on May 9, 1803, and that he died at age 110. "BRAZIL AND THE NEGRO." "Brazil and the Negro," is the subject of an interesting article by Theodore Roosevelt, appearing in the current number of the Outlook. The article: If I were asked to name the one point in which there is complete difference between the Brazilians and ourselves, I should say that it was in the attitude toward the black man. As the Indian becomes civilized he is absorbed into the population, as is the case with us in Oklahoma, and whoever has Indian blood in him is proud of the fact. The President of Brazil is one of these men, and there are a number of others among the leaders whom I met. It is an entire mistake to speak as if the population of Brazil were so mixed as to be wholly unlike that of Europe of the United States. It is mixed only in the sense in which the populations of Italy and Spain are mixed, as the population of southern France is mixed, as the population is mixed in many parts of the United States. As regards the major part of the population, the "mixed race" is such only in the sense in which that is also true of the United States, and of most of the advanced nations of mankind. There is one real difference, however. This difference between the United States and Brazil is the tendency of Brazil to absorb the Negro. My observation leads me to believe that in "absorb" I have used exactly the right expression to describe this process. It is the Negro who is being absorbed not the Negro who is absorbing the white man. The great majority of the men and women of high social position in Rio are of an unmixed white blood as the corresponding class in Paris or Madrid or Rome. The great majority of the political leaders are pure whites, with an occasional dash of Indian blood. But any Negro or mulatto who shows himself fit is without question given the place to which his abilities entitle him. I met one or two colored Deputies. At one military school I met a Negro professor. At one great laboratory I saw a colored doctor. All o these men were used questioned simply on their birth, race, and color, and idea of discriminatory against them in any official or business relations because of their color. A very great majority of the Negroes, and most of the colored people—that is, the mulattoes and quadroons—do not make their way up to the highest positions, and they are proportionately most plentiful in the lower ranks. Among the working enlisted men of the army and navy, I people, for instance, and among the saw many Negroes, many colored men, working side by side in the same organizations with the whites, and apparently without any discrimination. There is a verally large uneducated there is a very large Negro element among the working class. In parts of Brazil it is somewhat larger. In Rio it is noticeable, but far less so than in most of the cities of the Southern United States. Brazil is most fortunate in the fact that its white working population has nothing of the parasite about it. The whites do not endeavor to live on the labor of the blacks, the inevitable result of which, as shown in all other communities, is that ultimately the blacks crowd out of existence those who live on their labor. On the contrary, the bulk of the work, even in Rio, is done by white men. But these blacks do not live no line against the Negro, and the own ranks of marriages are frequent, especially between Negroes an dthe most numerous of the immigrant races of Europe. In the middle class these intermarriages are rare, an din the higher class almostunknown so far as concerns men and women in which the black strain is at all evident. But even in the higher ranks there is apparently no prejudice whatever against marrying a man or girl who is, say, seven-eighths white, the remaining quantity of black blood long treated as a negligible element. The men and women with whom I am associated were in the great majority of cases white, save in the comparatively rare instances where they had a dash of Indian blood. But they naturally and unconcernedly told me the facts as I have above related them. Perhaps the attitude that the Brazilians, including the most intelligent among them, take is best symbolized by a picture we saw in the art museum in Rio. It portrayed a black grandfather, a mulatto son, and a white grandchild, the evident intention to paint and to express both the hope the child the black New was being absorbed and transformed so that he would become a white man. It is idle to prophecy for any remotefuture, and it is a very doubtful thing to prophecy even about the immediatefuture, but my impression is that the guiding or ruling classes of Brazil will continue to be almost absolutely white, that in the classes immediately below them they will continue to be a cer- tain of Negro blood, and that among the guilded classes, this description will be larger large enough to make a slight difference in the type.

President Wilson has given us an agreeable surprise by sending to the Senate for reappointment as a Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia the name of Judge Robert H. Terrell. Can it be that the President is at last thinking seriously of giving his colored fellow citizens "a square deal?" THE HANDS-OFF POLICY. We have been much interested in a discussion of the race question between the editor of the Waterbury (Conn.) Republic and Mr. J. E. Keford, in which the latter has much the better of it because he has the right of it in defending the race. He hits upon the truth of the whole matter when he says: "My solution of the problem, 'What to do with the Negro,' takes just three words to explain, 'Let him alone.' Treat the Negro just as you would any other American citizen. Give him no special favor, nor any special punishment because he is a Negro." The case could not be better stated. It is a "special consideration" that has done the Negro so much injury in the South and which is steadily creeping into the public opinion of Northern and Western states, and which, as a matter of life and death, we must fight every inch of the way, whether in our living districts, with right to buy and sell, or hoping and drinking a cup of tea as others do it. It was for denial of this principle that the people of the thirteenth original colonies went to war with the Mother Country and whipped her into their right to rule and tax themselves. In commencing on the splendid argument of Mr. Kefford, the Waterbury Aboriginal news: It is in Kashmir that idea that the best way to handle the Negro problem is to let the Negro alone. That is just about what the North has been doing since the Civil War, and, in a sense, it is what the South has been doing. The country, in fact, has been letting the Negro alone, and wondering what might happen. The slaveholders had a notion, perhaps, that the children generally were forced to release would go straight to the dog, and some of it did, but enough of it kept to this side of the drink to force the white man to do something for it. North and South, instead of letting it alma. Then the idea of the Negro a childish be to venerate and the Negro a human being begin to grow. Still most of the world for the Negro alone—while he kept among Negroes. North, the Negro man has been quite to himself, and as a ruler done, fairly well, from his point of view, the not without being somewhat of a burden to the white man. As cities have expanded, however, their Negro populations have grown, as well as their foreign population. White men, who knew nothing of the Civil War, have come to know the American Negro and the Negro has come in competition with this new white man from Europe. Each has usually let the other alone, until forced to ask more comfortable quarters and trouble than always resulted. That is the crucial problem in many American cities now—how to handle the Negro tenement dweller when the white man is crowded for room. The problem has been let alone so long that its solution cannot be accomplished easily because the white man feels it is as difficult to acquire title to a home as the Negro does, and they will not, and cannot house to gether under normal conditions. the Waterbury, Republic because, unfortunally, it defines the attitude of many Northern and Western newspapers and public opinion, such as we have it as a single instance, in Harlem district, where a few white property owners assert the right to set meters and bounds to the right of colored people to buy and sell or to rent and occupy property as others do it, who are willing THE CASE OF SARAH RECTOR By far one of the most interesting instances of how white men, having the power to enforce the wrong, enforce it, is that of Sarah Rector, the story of whose good and bad fortune was related in The Age of February 5. Her case may not terminate as did that of "Blind Tom," the incomparable musician, who had a white guardian, although his parents were alive, and made a great fortune for his guardian, but little for "Blind Tom" and his parents, and who, when he became old and incapacitated, was regarded and treated as an object of charity rather than as an incompetent who had amassed a great fortune which his steward as guardian should have used for his support and comfort. This, at least, is the impression the newspapers of the time gave of the strange case of "Blind Tom." Of course, if you see it in the newspapers you cannot always believe it, but when those whose interests are affected and whose honesty is questioned as to their stewardship do not take the trouble to establish their incapability we are free to accept what we see in the newspapers. By far one of the most interesting power to enforce the wrong, enforce whose good and bad fortune was relied on may not terminate as did that of "B" had a white guardian, although his time for his guardian, but little for when he became old and incapacitated of charity rather than as an incompetent his steward as guardian should have at least, is the impression the news of "Blind Tom." Of course, if you believe it, but when those whose in questioned as to their stewardship incapability we are free to accept what So it may come to pass in the from her oil producing allotment of to her white guardian and white opio to her and her parents.

A white man, who as an equal in the home, at the diner guardian, to look after her wealth and the white courts will approve his account will have nothing to say about it. The EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC EDUC We have been laboring under the for Negro education in the South is less result of an investigation made by My Division of Statistics and Research at a project, we are glad to find that the most the nine typical Southern states has in many cases, still is indicates the largest increase are Texas and Alabama duty in creating right public sentiment amount can be further increased.

This would be a calamity to her and them and to the race with which she is numbered by the courts and treated by the vile laws of Oklahoma, which virtually deny that "a black man has any rights that a white man is bound to respect"—a barbarous opinion. Unfortunately for them, this is the case of white persons in their dealings with the persons, virtues and goods of others weaker than themselves that they desire. To the truth of this the Indian races of America, the malay races of the Pacific, the Indian and other races of Asia and the black races of Africa can testify in sack cloth and ashes. "The Master hath ruled of thy person and goods, because he is stronger than thee," is the white man's law in his relations with weaker peoples in the United States and everywhere else, and it has made him the Ishmael among the nations and himself. The ignorant Negroes of the rural districts of the South are today robbed of more cotton every year by dishonest store accounts than they get credit for. "I owe you only $123," says the Negro farmer. "I say it is $246," says the storekeeper. "What are you going to do about it?" sneers the dishonest dealer. What can he do? Nothing. He has to pay the dishonest charge. Why? Because, if he go to the court, as "Blind Tom" or Sarah Rector or John Doe, the court will ask him, brutally, looking over dishonest glasses: "Do you want me to accept your record of the account instead of that of the white man? Case dismissed, with costs." So it would be if Sarah Rector's parents should question the account of her white guardian. The just Judge would look at the white man and wink and at the black man and seowh, and he would say: "Mr. Rector, don't you know that, in this court, the word of a white guardian of a colored minor will stand against all the words of all the colored parents in Oklahoma? Even so. Case dismissed, with cost!" But that is not the worst of it. Whenever a case involving the Sarah Rector principle has wormed its slow way from State, District and Circuit Courts to the Federal Supreme Court that body, the last appeal of the citizen from injustice of the States, has said, with the fierce determination of Satan and the Serpentine heartliness of the Devil: "You are black, you are colored; I don't know you Go your way, which is not the way of the Supreme Court. If a black or colored man has any rights a white man is bound to respect, the Supreme Court does not know it. Case dismissed, with costs." That has been the manner of the case of every appeal that has been made to the Federal Supreme Court for "a square deal" by the colored people since 1856. A writer on constitutional law has shown that everybody concerned has benefited by the tortuous paragraphic stultifications of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution except the colored people, in whose interest it was made a part of the fundamental law of the land by the people of two-thirds of the States. Sarah Rector is only a little colored girl. Her father was an Indian. She gets an allotment of land. Oil is discovered upon the land. She is thereupon adjudged to be a minor by the courts and her parents incompetent to protect her great interests. A white man, who cannot associate with her or her parents as an equal in the home, at the dinner table, anywhere, is designated as her guardian, to look after her wealth and not after her. And he will do it, and the white courts will approve his accounts, straight or crooked, and her parents will have nothing to say about it. The courts will rule that much. It is infamous! EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL MONEY FOR NEGRO EDUCATION We have been laboring under the impression that the amount appropriated for Negro education in the South is less than it was some years ago, but as the result of an investigation made by Monroe N. Work, who is in charge of the Division of Statistics and Research at Tuskegee Institute, bearing upon the subject, we are glad to find that the money appropriated for Negro education in the nine typical Southern states has increased. While this increase is not large in many cases, still is indicates the way of progress. The states making the largest increase are Texas and Alabama. We believe if all Negroes do their duty in creating right public sentiment that within the next few years the amount can be further increased. Following is a comparison of the amount spent for colored public schools in ten Southern states for the years 1906, 1907, 1908, 1911, 1912 and 1913: State Amount Amount Increase Expenditure per capita Alabama 1908 273,001 1913 $503,507 $230,506 1908 $0.72 1913 $1.53 Florida 1907 215,069 1912 297,495 42,300 1907 2.57 1912 2.93 Georgia 1907 506,170 1912 606,558 100,388 1907 1.30 1912 3.38 Louisiana 1907 300,849 1911 312,178 11,329 1907 1.21 1911 1.26 North Carolina 1908 402,658 1912 548,738 135,340 1908 1.67 1912 2.07 South Carolina 1908 274,959 1912 349,834 74,875 1908 .88 1912 1.05 Tennessee 1907 490,748 1911 619,629 128,881 1907 2.92 1911 3.79 Texas 1906 924,959 1911 1,238,737 314,142 1906 3.84 1911 4.90 Virginia 1907 489,228 1911 672,475 183,247 1907 2.02 1911 2.77 $3,877,275 $5,149,151 $1,221,000 and able. We want to be let alone by newspapers, public opinion and restrictive laws of prescription and segregation to develop in all directions along the lines of least resistance, as others do it, including the precious foreign who is fast eating up the inheritance of the original European Americans, Africans and Indians, including that of the editor of the Waterbury Republican who is no much smaller in his American citizenship and Christian brotherhood than his Puritan ancestors as to be ashamed to place his name at the head of his editorial columns. BUYING PROPERTY IN SOUTH. It is a matter of great pleasure and satisfaction for us to quote the following editorials from the Progressive Farmer, published in the South by Southern white people, indicating the progress of the Negro in the South. We are sure that the figures given by this Southern, white paper will surprise even our best friends. The first editorial, "Increase in Negro Farm Acreage, Decrease in White Acreage in the South," follows: "It is also worth while to record in this issue the basic facts regarding another big subject we have been discussing, namely, the increase in Negro farm acreage and the decrease in white farm acreage in the various Southern States in the last census decade." "In the West South Central States (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana), the Negro farmers in this period increased their acreage 9.5 per cent., while the white acreage decreased 5 per cent. In the East South Central States (Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Kentucky), the Negro farmers increased their acreage 7.7 per cent. as against a white decrease of 1 per cent. And in the South Atlantic States (the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, Flor- ida, Maryland and Delaware), the Negro grape increased 13 per cent, while the white decreased 2 per cent. "In Georgia the number of Negro farms increased from 82,000 to 122,000—an increase of almost exactly 50 per cent, in a single ten years. In Arkansas the number increased from 46,000 to 63,000 or 35 per cent.; Oklahoma, 56 per cent.; North Carolina, 18.7; Alabama, 17.4; South Carolina, 13.3 and Tennessee, 13 per cent. "Owing to the fact that the land operated by white managers was reduced in this decade from 50,000,000 to 24,000,000 acres or 52 per cent., the acreage of white owners increased 2.5 per cent, but the percentage of increase in acreage for Negro owners was five times as great—17.5 per cent." On "White Tenantry Increasing Faster Than Negro Tenantry," the Progressive Former says: "On the whole, the number of white farm owners increased (12 per cent), but they increased by reducing the size of white farms and the increase in number of white tenants increased over twice as fast—27.6 per cent. The Negroes, on the other hand, increased the number of their owners 17 per cent, and their actual acreage increased. The Negro farm acreage gained on the white farm acreage during the decade at the rate of a million and a half acres a year. Further striking facts regarding the increase in Negro land ownership in the South are brought out by the table prepared by Mr. T. J. Jones and reprinted from the Southern Workman elsewhere in this issue. It will be seen from this table that the Negro now owns considerably more than one acre, every three that he cultivates. Miscellaneous he owns over 20,000 acres in Tennessee, in Virginia he owns one and one-half acres of every two and one-half he tells "It is also a significant and sinister fact that white tenantry is increasing faster than Negro tenantry. While there were in the South in 1910 a little over 100,000 more Negro tenants than in 1900, there were nearly 20,000 more white tenants than in 1903. The proportion of increase in white tenants was 27.6 per cent, or 6.2 per cent, greater than the increase in number of Negro tenants, while in number of farm owners the Negro percentage of increase was 17 per cent, against only 12 per cent. for the whites." Summing up the official figures for the last decade, therefore, it will be seen that— (1) In every part of the South the Negro farm acreage increased and the white farm acreage decreased. (2) The Negro already owns five acres in every fourteen he cultivates and he has to acquire but one-seventh more of his farm acreage in order to own half the land he tills. (3) The Negro farm acreage gained on the white farm acreage a million and a half acres a year, and the increase in number of white tenants during the decade was nearly twice the increase in number of Negro tenants- 118,000 Negroes to nearly 200,000 whites LABOR IN SOUTH AFRICA: Labor in Africa is cheap; so cheap that American Negroes who go to Africa, with the standards of America fastened upon them, as an inheritance in their education, cannot make enough to live on in unskilled work; neither can the white man do it. The skilled workman has a better chance, but even he, under normal conditions, has a better chance in Europe and America than in any part of Africa. Native labor is cheaper than Chinese and East Indian labor, and living standards of the common laborer of either has long passed into an economic fact beyond which a workman cannot produce results and sustain life. An American black man cannot get common or skilled work in England or in Europe, because his color bars him, and in South Africa, which is dominated by the white trade unionists, the policy "aims at the ultimate segregation, or separation, of the black and white races," says W. Arthur Woodward in the Daily News. White men in South Africa "refrain from ordinary manual tasks," and the native blacks will only labor long enough to serve some purpose, like the purchase of wives, to pay the head tax or to ward off impending starvation; but the labor education they are receiving should be of advantage in the future. In Cape Colony there are 6,000,000 people, only 1,300,000 of whom are white, but they rule the 4,700,000 mixed people with an iron rod. If such rule does not make stronger, and better men out of their children the spirit will fail to bring good out of Satan. The labor conditions for black people are even worst in West Africa than in South Africa. Chief Sam and every person who has lured American Negroes with African schemes knows this to be true to men who encourage people to sell all they have and go into a strange country where the conditions are harder than in the country they are encouraged to leave, and when they do it for selfish gain, are criminals of the worst sort, who should be taken in hand by the legal authorities and given the limit of the law. Many months ago THE ACE advised Negroes in Oklahoma who desired to go to West Africa, to Liberia, to send a select committee of their own tb the country, to remain there from January to January, in order to study the possibilities of the country, as well as the four seasons, and to await, and be governed by the committee's report, but they did nothing of the sort. Many of them are depending upon a stranger who does not know himself, to lead them to Africa, with no knowledge of what they will receive when they get there. If they had followed our advice they would know what they are doing, instead of trusting to Chief Sam, who does not know what he is doing. That is the reasonable assumption. David Crockett's maxim is still all to the good: "Be sure you are right, and then go ahead." MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE AND PEACK Mr. Andrew Carnegie has proven himself to be one of the best friends that our race has ever had. We wish that in the selection of trustees for the recently established Peace Fund to be controlled by various churches of the United States, Mr. Carnegie could have seen his way clear to have recognized the colored churches in America. We fear that Mr. Carnegie does not realize that there are about 1,000,000 colored~Baptists and about 1,000,000 colored Methodists in this country, with at least 1,000,000 of others scattered among various denominations; the Unitarians, who were recognized by the appointment of the trustees, number only a few thousand; the same is true of the Lutherans and other denominations recognized by Mr. Carnegie. It would have been a very fitting and at the same time a very brave act, for Mr. Carnegie to have recognized the colored people. We know the kind of argument used against such recognition, an argument to the effect that Southern white people will not be members of such boards if colored people are members. This is not true, as is true in the case of the Jeanes Fund trustees and other trustees. We must break through color prejudice and do the thing that is right and just. when we do this, in nine cases out of ten, all the troubles that are conjured up in the imagination beforehand do not mature. JOEL SPINGARN ATTACKS DR. WASHINGTON According to newspaper reports some days ago, Mr. Joel Spingarn, who was recently elected chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, went out of his way at a meeting in Chicago to attack Dr. Washington in an address. It seems to be one of the inborn propensities of a certain type of white people, who profess to have great ambition to lift up the Negro, to begin by attacking a colored man or trying to pull him down as soon as he reaches a certain degree of prominence; this seems to be a certain kind of love this type of people have. The special grievance of Mr. Spingarn against Dr. Washington, as given by his speech, is that under Dr. Washington's leadership the colored people have collected about $1,000,000,000 worth of property and everything else except this $1,000,000,000 worth of property has been taken from them. It certainly does Dr. Washington no discredit, granting that what Mr. Spingarn.says is true, to have aided the race in getting something that has not been taken away from them; everything else Mr. Spingarn says, has been taken away except that which Dr. Washington advised the race to get, and that is $1,000,000,000 worth of property. It is very noticeable, however, that wherever a meeting is held of this kind some unknown white man attacks Dr. Washington in regard to his supposed attitude in encouraging the colored people to get property and money; and as soon as the speech is over in which Dr. Washington has been attacked these people proceed to pass around the hat and ask the colored people to part with some of the money and property that they have been accumulating. It does seem that if the getting of money and property is such a vicious thing that it would be out of place for our people to be called on constantly to "chip in." These particular kind of movements ought to be supported by the usual resolutions and "hot air" and not by the payment of actual cash EDITORIAL NOTES Sin and Desire—the appetite and thirst—lead most a merry chance from sun to sun. Few people can deny themselves the things they want to eat and drink, so the personal and national bills for these two items are devouring the persons and the nation. Sin and Desire are good servants but bad masters. "The Negro in Slavery, War and Punce," written by Bishop H. M. Turner, President C. W. Eilest and the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, and "The Negro on the American Stare and the Higher Altitudes of Music," written by Letterman and H. L. Lawrence Peve, are two pamphlets being issued by Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review. They may be had by sending 20 cents in stamps to The New York Arg. What Pastor Russell should do is to take his eyes off the collection plate some and get nearer to Jesus. Under the color line act he is working, he cannot reasonably expect Jesus to get nearer to him. Jesus was called out of Egypt as 'My Son' and it dots not applaud him. He can come into it, although since the death of the Rev. Thomas De Witt Talmage he has had more to say about Jesus for a cash consideration than any other New York preacher. Rev. Quincy Ewing, of Napoleonville, Ia., has shown in other days that he bites white man who whores white man have to receive him. Of the white man The Age we carried out work contained these oysteric sentences. "There are thousands of good people in Mississippi whom Mr. Vardaman is not fooling to-day, and never has fooled. And nobody knows this better than Mr. Vardaman himself." But there were not enough good people in Mississippi whom Mr. Vardaman is not fooling to-day, where he is a standing nuisance and reproach to himself and the people of Mississippi whom he so prodigiously misrepresents. About M charry Medical College. To the Editor of The Art: Allow me to say a few words as to the greatness, congeniality and advantage of Meharry Medical College and Walden University generally. I believe I am qualified to say that Meharry Medical College is the greatest medical institution in the United States for the colored medical student or professor. At Meharry we have a paradise of medical and scientific opportunities, our government and policies are of the finest, our faculty of the highest quality, our culture is the most congenial, just, and beloved of men. To a student we love Meharry and our alumni are most loyal both in their expressions and financially. Not only are we in Class "A" American medical association, but hoping soon to enter the highest group of American colleges. New buildings are soon to be erected, and the faculty enlarged. No politics or religious bias enter into the treatment of any student against any of the many foreigners connected with the school. Expenses are in the reach of the poorest student. The colored race should certainly be proud of this "mecca" of medical and scientific learning, for here we have a faculty, an edge, and opportunities for unlimited advancement to the faculty. Here we have scientists of whom any race would be proud, a feature which should be more emphasized by the Negro of A. J. O. McNORTON. Nashville, Tenn. The Odd, Follows' Bldg. at Atlanta. To the Editor of The Agr. I have no financial interest whatever in the colored Odd Follows' Building at Atlanta, but as a member of the Nerm race, and as a citizen, I want to attend the event, and I want to穿 through Atlanta, or can possibly spare the time to visit the city, should S. H. embrace the opportunity of visiting the Colored Odd Fellows' Building which has been erected under the leadership of Mr. B. J. Davis. I have seen what our people are doing in every part of the United States, but in all my experience, I have never seen a man in the act of the Odd Fellows' Building, built and owned by Negroes, that compares in any way with it. No pen picture of the building can do it justice; one has to see the building at first hand in order to appreciate its magnificent proportions and well-planned rooms of various kinds and especially in order to note the elegance of the order in which characterize everything in connection with the building, inside and out. To see the aplendid auditorium which is now in process of completion in worth a visit to the city itself. I feel that those who are inclined to have doubts as to the future of our race, or lack faith in the constructive ability of the Negro, should visit the Colored Odd Fellows' Building at Atlanta, Ga. In my opinion, it is the greatest demonstration of the efficiency of the Negro in business directions existing in this country, or in any other BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tunkeridge Institute, Ala. The 10th Cavalry on the Border. To the Editor of The Art: I am writing this letter for the benefit of some of our young men, who ought to know about these things. I am a soldier in the Tenth Calvary, U. S. A., and have been for sixteen years. I have served in the Twenty-fourth Infantry, the Twenty-fifth Infantry and am now in the Tenth Cavalry. The Tenth is stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, but at this time there are only five troops at Huachuca. The rest are on bounty line doing duty. Troops E and I are at Naco; Troops G, H and M are at Nogalez and Troops K and I are at Forrest. The Tenth Cavalry has a good name, as all know. The regiment left Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont. December 5, 1913, and arrived at Fort Hushua on December 26, and we haven't had one more day since. We are on the border and I am almost worked down. We get up at 5 a.m. we have sabre drill from 6 to 7 a.m. and breakfast from 7 to 7:30 a.m. From 6 to 11:30 a.m. is mounted drill, and then we groom our horses from 11:30 to 12:30 a.m. We go to 3 p.m. we diamonted drill from 1 to 3 p.m. Then we come in, feed our horses and get ready for guard mount at 5 p.m. At 7 p.m. we come in and get our supper. We go on post every four hours until midnight, then so many men come off duty and the same mumu- When the white soldiers were here they did nothing, because they told us that they had not had any drill for eight months or more. I have been in the army for sixteen years and have been had to work so hard before, shall discharged in few months and will never re-collist. More than 128 men have finished their enlistment since we have been here and only two have re-enlisted. They were two old mercants expecting to retire at an early date. All the young men who desire to enlist in the army should find out all the details first. AN OLD SOLDIER: Fort Huachuca, Artz. MASTERPIECES OF NEGRO ELOQUENCE. Edited by Alice Moore Dunbar. The Bookery Publishing Co. There are times when a compiler performs a more important mission in the literary world than do some contributors whose works bear the stamp of unquestioned originality. This is the position Alice Moore Dunbar occupies as the result of giving us a collection of addresses delivered by a speeches of note, addresses preamble with elusive long man reasoning. These addresses are not of the usual after-dinner variety—products of the well-filled stomach—which, as a rule, are witty, more frivolous than serious, more appealing to the head than to the heart. To the contrary, the most elegant of the eloquence are the productions of Nerroes who made earnest, impassioned pleas in the interest of humanity, and although it often happens that a speech loses much of its effectiveness, it can not be as earnest, such that bara selections, which retain much of their virility, elegance and impressiveness. The address in question are un- defined. The user has lished opportunely—at a & time when certain forces are busily engaged in representing the Negro, in toto, as ignorant, litterate and uncultured, and lacking in what one of the speakers calls "the irreprotable spirit of simulation." To-day in our educational institutions, public or private, seldom does the curriculum contain complementary reference to the Negro, and our daily paper to the Negro, which tend only to grade the race. So "Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence" should inspire those us who have unconscionously permitted ourselves to become saturated with the disagreeable, although not altogether unpleasant, characteristics appear to take delight in disseminating. Proof that for the past one hundred years we have had Negroes of sufficient mentality to make speeches comparing favorably, both in historical and contemporary speakers of other races, is indeed cheering. "Masterpieces of Eloquence" emphasizes the wonderful possibilities the future has in store for the Negro in letters and arts. True he has not given any amazing evidences of his ability to assume executive supervision in the matter of building a school; his way it cannot be denied him that considering his limited opportunities he has made well of his God-given gifts as an orator. Alice Moore Dunbar modestly states in the preface that the volume is not a complete anthology on Negro eloquence, which is true for the work, but is not for or using such excellent judgment in selection, embracing the addresses delivered from a century age up to the present. "Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence," "Masterpieces of Negro Elocution," and to which the binder has given an original and attractive cover, should allow the library of every Negro who believes in the importance of an ornamental purpose, but should be read from beginning to end. L. A. W. The general interest manifested in the recent visit of Dr. Booker Washington indicates that. In this city, sentiment has taken a sudden reversal of form. Everywhere and by everybody who heard the educator, the one sentiment was that Dr. Washington, after all said to the contrary, has the right idea about the future of the Negro in this country. Pittsburgh is no longer anti-Washington. The remarks, given at three different places on the same evening, carried the same tone of confidence in his people. Perhaps his happiest thought was expressed at the banquet where he met a selection of the best Pittsburghs has in Negro citizenship. He abducted us to a more optimistic view of ourselves. He decried the tendency on the past of many of us to paint dark pictures of ourselves and of our prospects as a people. He urged the use of brighter colors in the picture. In support of this thought, he cited the conditions as they exist in European countries where he has visited. He showed that conditions among other races and people are in many instances worse than those suffered by us in America. His other thought was racial adjustment. The peorless leader reminded us that there is no evidence of a wholesale desertion of this country by the white man, and that since we have got to live here in touch with them and they in touch with us, the only proper thing to do is adjust ourselves. And the general consensus of opinion is that the United States by Dr. Washington. A friendly, and not an unfriendly, feeling must be cultivated. And not all of his remarks were directed at the Negro. The white man came in for his share of criticism, and taken from a local viewpoint, his attentances appeared especially pointed. He referred to the tendency of the white papers to minimize our view and magnify our faults. This too true of Pittsburgh papers was evidenced by the then in very early morning after Dr. Washington appeared, when the Gazette Times gave Dr. Washington eight lines on the very last page, and at the bottom, while the Pittsburgh Press failed to take confidence of his visit at all, but featured the arrest of Evelyn Thayn in Richmond, on the front page. On the contrary, the Pittsburgh Dispatch featured Dr. Washington's speech on the front page, not burdening him the proseence to which he belonged. The Courier feels certain that Dr Washington appreciates that he tendered him by all the people of Pittsburgh, and specially that of his people for whom he has done so much. We shall await to welcome him again. PASSAKE, N.

SUPERIOR TO COPAIBA & INJECTIONS SANTAL MIDY RELIEVES IN 24 HOURS Job Printing MUSIC AND THE STAGE NOTHER change has been made in the management of the theatre payette. Theatre, which is now being conducted by Messrs. Fluegelman and Johnson, who assumed control Monday. The management announces that owing to the shortness of time all new policies under contemplation will not be inaugurated until next Monday, March 2. Thomas Johnson and Huckleman are looked upon as the pioneers of vaudeville in the 185th street district, having successfully conducted the Crocodile Theatre as a vaudeville and motion picture theatre for several years. When they sold the Crocodile and left Harlem to open theatres in other sections of Greater New York they carried with them the best wishes of their many patrons. In acquiring the Lafayette Theatre Johnson and Fluegelman state that their intention is to make it one of the leading three-a-day houses in Greater New York. Only clean, refined acts—colored and white—will be engaged, and the motion pictures will be what are known as "first run pictures." The prices, which are: Afternoon 10 cents, and evenings 15 and 25 cents, except Sundays and holidays, will be maintained at all times. These opportunities may change made in this arrangement. According to the new management, the house will not be conducted as a "colored theatre" or a "white theatre," but a theatre where all will be warmly welcomed. The bill at the Infantry the first half of the week was full of entertainment. The acts to win applause were Hodgens & Launchmee; the live Mariants, Keyes & Walker, Cutty & Zuida and Lewis Dogs and Monkeys. The new management will continue the country store feature every Saturday evening, which was so successfully introduced by Messrs. Shipp and Torker. Most articles will be given away. Mogro Folk Songs For years there has been a superficial discussion of the question whether the music of the Southern Negro was really folk music in the scientific sense of the name or a weak imitation of music heard in the slave hear their betrayal and ploy. When Dr. Dvorak commissioned his American symphony, quarterback Johnny Bee declared that he enjoyed the Negro songs to be folk music of something pretty close to it that by utilizing their characteristic traits of melody, rhythm and harmony American composers might, if they wished, produce works having a distinct nationality. At any rate he provided illustrations of his theory in the commission mentioned. "Whereupon the wise man of the East made mook of him. They asserted that the Negro melodies were not folk music and that even if they were Dr. Dvorak had not imitated them, and that even if he had written nothing but Bohemian music, just as he always had, in the course of time the wise men persecuted themselves, even that the Christian composers and never tried to imitate Negro music and had never said that he did. And they are of that mind to this day. Now comes Henry Edward Krehbill music much light from the dark places. He has published through the house of G. Schimmer a volume entitled "Afro-American Folk Songs." This is not to be a review of Mr. Krebblell but merely a warning to take no notice of overviews, there need be no hesitation that it is not the most important book this author has written. It has been used on your continued original work and has been executed with adhesive methods of approval. Mr Krehbiel's studies of Negro folk pictures about forty years ago. Among those who helped him most and most collectively composed these various parts of the old domain of slavery, from the French Creoles, from the Bahamas, and also West Indies. The author has hand some printed in the older collections and was indeed more of his own gathering. In deference to the innovable desire of musical amateurs that had arrangements made by the strongished Negroes made by Burleigh, Henry T. Burleigh by Arthur M. Holden Horses and John A. Winslow Brockhorey, all with scholars of authority. Mr. Krehbiel has examined Negro songs as a model for the life he has subjected them to close scrutiny as to talking about them. He praised the mindfulness of the structural scrutiny of the songs, and the humility of the manner that they drew will be the conclusion of the study. He songs are the most important thing the study has done, but the highest level of satisfaction is with the Negro mind from its own native lair. The Swah's recorder of musical doings has, in the course of his years of study read all the works of such Mr. Krehbiel, refers to in his works Krehbiel with all the extant works of Negro music. He is aware that such compositors on this musical doings have been musicians, but all are illuminated by their belief that plainly melancholy songs of these groves are nearly all in the music today. Just to prove the value of this theory, Mr. Krehbiel assigned 300 songs.

HOWARD DEFEATS MONTICELLO Monticello of Pittsburgh was no match for Howard University of Washington in the basketball contest in which the two quants were competitors at Manhattan Casino Monday evening. In a one-sided game the Washingtonans won, 38 to 12. The usual small army of basketball enthusiasts was on hand and were at noisy as ever. Howard proved its superiority over Monticello in many respects. The boys from the capital city have a host of loyal supporters in New York. The innovation of numbering the players was adopted, as follows: Howard Monticello 1 Gilmore, Capt J.

Hampton clearly demonstrated her superiority over Lincoln, outplaying her in every department of the game. Lincoln started the second half with that dash and determination for which they are known to do after seemingly defeat, but it was of no avail. Captain Gayle, Gurnoe and Johnson played in rare form for Hampton, while the Young brothers did excellent work for Lincoln. 59th St. T. 313 W., 59th St. WILLIAM MACK Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

This life, the God-man Jesus the Christ, not only claimed to give men, but he fully vindicated the truth of His sayings by His acts, for His words and His works stand as living testimonies of His full control of this vital energy. The power to exercise Himself in these porces was so completely under His supervision that He claimed to have the power to lay down His own life and to die again. This mastering energy He communicates and gives to believers in Himself and through the power of the Holy Spirit, they come into that fellowship with the Holy Trinity from which only life is seen and known. The more abundant life is God-life, and the more abundant life is unchanging, unwavering, unalloyed love; because of the purity of the motives, faith in God and His works among men fear is lost in the sight of shores of eternal things. Immanuelism therefore requires that we can recognize and appreciate these expressions of our Master. "My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me; and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father who hath given me the power to live, no one is able to snatch the out of the Father's hand. I and the FFather are one." The Sunday School had a very interesting session.
