Leading Negro Newspaper The New York Age. Has Largest Circulation DISCUSS BUSINESS STAGNATION IN HARLEM DISTRICT AMONG NEGROES VOL. XXVII No. 27. DISCUSS BUSINESS HARLEM DISTRICT The Age Readers Exp On Interestin NEED PRODUCE MARKET De Mond Lewis Points Out How Such an Enterprise Would Greatly Help New York Negro and Negro Farmers. 'AN ECHO OF SLAVERY DAYS' Edward Sterling-Wright Thinks Slavery Is Responsible for Negro's Aversion to Patronizing His Own. The editorial appearing in last week's issue of The Age, under the caption, "A Harlem Philosopher on Business Stagnation," in which the question "What is the matter with the Negro in Harlem, and the business stagnation that holds him down?" has occasioned unusual interest among the readers of The Age, and several letters have been received in this office in which the writer's undertake to explain why the Negro is backward in supporting business enterprises in the Harlem section conducted by members of the encease. A few letters and communications to The Age were Edward Sterling Wright and De Mond Lewis, who do not monize words in giving their respective versions of why there are no more business concerns run by Negroes in Harlem. De Mond Lewis, writes: This plan may appear rather disconcerting and bold to our "Mr. Conservative Negro Citizen," but I am absolutely convinced that this is the right way to begin. conditions have reached at stage in New York where the small Negro, with a few thousand dollars capital has no show. Of course, the first stages would be to organize the first trade. Trade, which should carry out all necessary preliminary investigations. The apathetic attitude of our race toward things scientific is discouraging. The Negro inventor who has an invention of any magnitude or value has a hard "row to hoe" when he goes to the so-called wealthy Negroes to seek financial aid. Negro inventors appear to get the most help to develop their devices from white people. I wonder why? This does not always obey to inventions that could not be exploited by Negroes. I will cite one case in particular. A Western Negro was compelled to white capital to develop a new type of safety fire helmet after he had appalled to his beloved colored brethren, but to no avail. "The Matter With the Negro." Edward Sterling Wright writes as follows: "Appears to the question propounded by the Harlem philosopher: 'What is the matter with the Negro in Harlem, and the business stagnation that holds him down?' I avail myself of your request to shed a little light on a subject so vexous our Harlem friend. I matter with the Negro" began his race when the old white man mistreated his slave as never a slave was trained before. Each Negro was mistreated by the same man any other. That he was more thought of the other class and that his duty was watch every other Negro and to massa" every infringement of rule; he was rewarded given "massa's ole cloos," "massa's coachman, butter or or if perchance, it was a be watched faithfully over arrests and harried with tortures of her combed hair she was dressed in hard tell, a tattoo suit in the riefer or the swamps or cotton and worn over to "missas" as to all some other house that lifted her far about the field hands in dress, in and in society.

Two-hundred and fifty years of this kind of training made a standing army to hold the slave in subjection unnecessary. Every Negro kept guard and vigilant; watch over the other follow. This bred distrust and a vicious secret hatred for each other. It created a morbid desire to see each other in. The Negro learned and a tendency to create sage. The Negro learned and he learned well—that by pulling dogs under Negro he brightened his prospects and elevated his position. This is "what's the matter" with the Negro to-day. That lesson that he learned "under the tuition of the wisest slaver of men the world ever knew for 250 years cannot be unlearned in fifty. The habits and tendency are involuntary uncontrollable. They are as noticeable as uncontrollable as the illiterate. They explain many things which otherwise are inexplainable. The Negro is the most sympathetic man in the world toward another Negro as long as the latter is on his level or a little below him; but when once he commences to rise our joyousy is aroused, we fear that he may prosper and leave us behind; the influences and curse of the old school is upon us; the fury oforge we are freeminded is the chief of our latter day school; is still dim, not yet strong enough to dispel the darkness of the old and elaborate us from that bodge that binds us to our brothers welfare and indirectly our own. I had started out with the intention of embracing the whole question, but I feel I cannot consider the latter half of the question with in the limits of the editor's pleasure. For what do so at least myself be requested will I would like to add, however that the burden of getting our people to think on this subject is up to the colored press. The pupil is shamefully neglectful of the whole subject for the reasons above given. Shame is the feeling to be a aroused that is in no way appropriate for the ultimate consequence of nonmutual support and in its wake Pride will come with its attendants, dignity and true self-respect, spelling death to the old hereditary influences still enfolding in its grasp. Let our people see the causes of our problems, they all see the effect but the cause to most is a mystery. The realization of the cause produces shame and the latter carries its own cure. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN NEGRO BANK IN ATLANTA Special to The New York Act. ATLANTA, Ga., March 3N—An attempt was made by a white man to rob the Atlanta State Savings Bank on Wednesday afternoon, March 25, when only J. O.-Ross, Jr., theeller, was in the bank. The robber entered the bank about 4:30 o'clock, and, covering young Ross with a revolver, ordered him to turn over the cash in the vault. Ross demurred, but was forced into the vault, where an attempt was made to chloroform him. The young man's resistance foiled the effort and then the robber felled him with an iron bludgeon fashioned from a. piece of pipe. Two shots were fired at Ross, fortunately missing him, but the report and Ross's cries brought tenements to the cene. The assailant fled, jumping into a buggy standing near-by, driving off and firing back at the crowd which pursued him. The officers searched the houses near Cain and Williams street, where the buggy was abandoned, and found the man in a basement room with his wife. He feigned sickness, but was arrested. The revolver was found in a bureau drawer. He was identified and taken to the city prison, where he is held. His name was found to be Marshall, and he is said to be from Denver, Col. He claims to be a magician under the stage name of "Rhymata." Police Spy Copy of Song "I Come to Thee," Sticking Out of Overcoat Entered Ante Room of Church During Services and Took Pastor Bolden's Overcoat also Townsend's and Hinton's A copy of the song, "I Come to Thee," sticking out of the pocket of one of three overcoats which James Smith of Whiite Plains was carrying on his arm through East 127th street, attracted the attention of Detective Hart of the police station at 120th street and Third avenue last Sunday morning. Inquiry as to where the song, and incidentally the coats, soon on to bring to a satisfactory answer, to detective Lam parodied the song hide by saying to Smith: "You Come with Me," and immediately proceed to escort him and the song, the overcoats, and also two hats, to the station house. In the meantime the morning services at Emanuel Church in Crescent Hall, West J35th street, had been conducted by Pastor Bolden with unusual favor. A goodly, congregation of Emmanuelites were present and Pastor Bolden was about to agreeably surprise the members of his congregation by announcing that checks for more than $10,000 had been given him to use in payment on the new place of worship to be secured in a few days. These checks and other papers concerning the new place had been securely placed by Pastor Bolden in the inside pocket of his overcoat which he had worn to church. A small anteroom in the rear of the room in which services are held has been used as a cloak room by the pastor and some of the officers. About the time services were concluding William Townsend went into the anteroom. A glance showed something wrong and another glance showed that his overcoat was missing, and also the overcoats and hats of Pastor Bolden and George Hinton. superintendent of the Sunday School. Mr. Townsend lost no time in getting back into the main room and acquainting the folks with the fact that a robbery had been committed. Townsend was on the program to sing at the afternoon meeting of the literary society and he had brought in his overcoat pocket a copy of the song, "I Come to Thee." Quick Work of the Police. Led by Wm. Hogan, some of the men of the church rushed downstairs to the street in search of a possible clue. As they reached the pavement and were looking around wondering which way to start a plain clothes man stepped up and asked if anything had been lost. They quickly informed him of the missing coats and hats. The officer then inquired for the Rev. Richard Bolden and was led upstairs. Pastor Bolden was informed by the plain clothes man that Smith had been arrested by Detective Hart and the overcoats hats in his possession and the coats hats dressed to. Pastor Bolden had been found in one of the overcoats. The minister was asked to identify the coats and hats at the police station. About this time Mrs. Bolden be-thought herself of the two checks, each for $500, and other papers, which she had seen her husband, put in his overcoat before leaving home, and she anxiously inquired about them. For a moment Pastor. Bolden was dumbfounded, then he made a quick search of coat and waistcoat pockets and brought forth the precious documents. He had taken them from his overcoat pocket just before he stepped into the pulpit. The preliminary trial was held in the Harlem Police Court. 121st street and Third avenue. Monday evening. Smith was remanded to the Tombs and held THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1914. for trial in the Court of General Sessions. The song was not returned to Mr. Townsend, and so he could, not sing "I Come to Thee" to the literary Sunday afternoon, but it is declared that Detective Hart, whenever he came near to James Smith, could be heard humming with unction and feeling "We Came to Thee." LAWTON REMAINS AT. ST. JAMES-INDEFINITELY The largest and most successful congregational meeting in the history of Dr. James Presbyterian Church was held last Tuesday evening. Dr. Jesse F. Forbes, stated clerk of the New York Presbytery, presided. The reports of the financial secretary, treasurer and Sunday school were read; all other reports were referred to the session. Dr. J. R.

Lawton was first elected by ballot by over eight per cent of the congregation for one year, and then by practically a unanimous vote for an indefinite time. The announcement of the result was followed by prolonged and enthusiastic applause which subsided only when Dr. Lawton presented himself before the audience. He thanked the members for the renewal of their confidence, and told them that he, would try, by the help of God and their loyal support, to be worthy of it. Dr. Forbes, after testing by vote as to locating the church in Harlem, assured the members of the deep interest of the Church Extension Committee of the Presbytery in St. James Church and stated if they agreed to certain things it was probable that the committee would finance the building of a desirable church choice in a desirable leasity.

League Meeting—Visit Characterized as a "Veritable Triumph." Special to THE NEW YORK ACE LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 20.—Among the many receptions given in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator, while he was here, one of the most notable was that of the Friday Morning Club, the largest and most exclusive woman's club of California. It was a most extraordinary affair, and the largest attendance in the history of the club was present to listen to the Tuskegee. Women of the highest and best classes flocked to the meeting, in such numbers that they had to stand in the courtyard. The lunchroom which was, afterward tendered Dr. Washington was equally well attended. It was a most unusual sight to see so many of the richest and most influential women of the city assembling to applaud and encourage a member of the Negro race. During Dr. Washington's stay in California, in Los Angeles and elsewhere, he has been most cordially welcomed by Southern white men and women who have located here in considerable numbers, along with the native Californians. The educhar's address a few evenings ago at the combined meeting of the Tuskegee Club and the Los Angeles Negro Business League, was an occasion of great importance in the life of the Negro people. Hundreds were turned away despite the fact that many persons went to the church at 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon to be on hand for the meeting, which was not scheduled to begin until 5 o'clock. At Pasadena the colored people raised money for two scholarships at Tuskegee Institute, and the Tuskegee Club of Los Angeles has not only given money for a scholarship, but also collected $20 additional at the meeting addressed by Dr.-Washington a few days ago. The Tuskegeean's sojourn in Southern California has been a veritable triumph, both for himself and the great cause for which he stands. The daily papers of Southern California have made reference to Dr. Washington's visit in the news columns and editorially, "Leading a Race, Out of Depression" was the subject of an interesting editorial published by the Los Angeles Tribune, which said: No one who has read Emerson's Law of Compensation has failed to be impressed with the compelling strength of its logic. The people of Los Angeles have recently had the privilege of hearing a distinguished representative of the Negro and the conditions under which his final emancipation is to be worked out. Booker Washington's mission in life is to point out to members of his own race the principle underlying real success. He is doing it with a persistency, courage and intelligence that challenge who has sense enough and heart enough to realize that the world has been applying false standards of manhood and womanhood. The child of the black man is forced to face a heartless and cruel distinction. There is not getting away from it except through the slow spiritual journey of the mighty destroy false values, break down produce and set up a justice that can stand the light of a God-brown reason. The colored boy or girl often finds the conditions of success pitiless and cruel. Either he will give way to discouragement or he will begin and keep on discouragement, and never find kind that develops the worst sort of manhood and finally overcomes by dint of real worth. In doing that he is lifting up a race and leading it out of the boudage of limitation. This process may be a long one, but the law of compensation is us certain as God measures men, it is, in the final analysis, with the race as with the individual. The energy exerted in overcoming a handicap develops the true melle, hardens the fiber and becomes a permanent possession. It is only discouragement and sex that causes the skin to rebound down. A black skin may be the original cause of the discouragement, but it is not and cannot be the true cause of failure under any true standard. PRISON GUARDS MUST NOT WHIP CONVICTS THE NEW YORK CITY Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. RALEIGH, N. C., March 31.—The penitentiary guards, who were convicted in the Superior Court, Judge Cooke presiding, some months ago, for whipping convicts, appealed their case to the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Clarke has handed down the decision of that court which sustained the verdict, of the lower court. The appeal of the guards had the support of the county commissioners, who appropriated the people's money to pay the expense of the case. The decision of the Supreme Court settled the question as to the right of guard to whip convicts. Judge Cooke of the lower court declared that the State constitution forbade such punishment. Investigation of whipping conditions showed that convicts were whipped unmercifully for the shigher infractions, one convict being whipped to death. Watch this space for date of our annual BIG CLEF CLUB CARNIVAL MAKES PARTIAL REPORT Investigations show that there were 79 apartments occupied, at the time of the recent big Harlem fire in West 14th street, that 83 families were living in the apartments visited by Hanesy, and that the total number of persons affected, is approximately 410. Recording the number of elderly writers, there were 31 families insured, having 48 uninsured. The total number of families applying to the Citizen's Relief Committee for assistance to date is 45, and the total number of lodgers to date is 17. Assistance by way of clothing has been given in almost, every case. The Lincoln-Day Nursery, through Miss Green, the Music School Settlement, St. Phillip's Church and the Working Girls' Home, through Miss Gregory, were among the many agencies that have co-operated with the committee in giving relief. Over fifty bundles of clothing have been received, and distributed from the apartment donated for this purpose by Nail & Parker; also many articles, of furniture have been donated. Among some of the large donations, many pieces of furniture, was given by the Harlem Furniture Company. An account has been opened in the name of the Citizen's Relief Committee in the Chelsea Exchange Bank and no funds will be expended without being counterinsigned by the officers of the committee. The committee aims to have the most needy cases receive the greatest amount of help, which necessitates precaution and seeming tardiness in giving such aid. Many families have already received aid from the committee according to their peculiar need. This assistance has been given with the idea of reestablishing the home-life of these people, in which cases the widows and uninsured have been given the first consideration. Several families have been already started out on a housekeeping basis through the committee. To date the committee has received $53.75 for the fire victims from the following sources Dr. D. I. Hodge $25, the Rev. W. H. Brooks $25, K. Helper Methodist (church (through Dr. Arnott) $15.63, Arkansas "Pharmacy", $5, Friend, 25c; through Mr. McCarthy, $5; Mr. J. E. Nail, $5; Friend, 10c; Miss.

CINCINNATI, O., March 31.—A colored washerwoman is said to have induced a wealthy white woman of this city to leave $500,000 in the interest of Negro education, and next fall the Industrial School for Negro Youth will be opened at Wyoming, O., a suburb of Cincinnati, as the result of such a munificent bequest. When friends and acquaintances learned that the bulk of the testatrix's estate had been left to establish a school for Negroes their surprise was great, as she had not shown the least interest in colored people during life. It was later learned that shortly before she died the colored washerwoman had explained to her the needs and struggles of her race and had made a winning argument. W. L. Ricks, formerly principal of the Evening School of Louisville, has been selected as president of the new institution. Prof. Ricks was graduated from the University of Minnesota, where he finished, the collegiate and law departments. After practicing law in Louisville for a short time he was appointed principal of the Evening High School. CARRIBBEAN CLUB INSTALLS OFFICERS Special to The New York Age WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31.

Trentman in Fort Wayne Hotel TRENTMAN WAS DRUNK Before Shooting Occurred Business Man Insulted, Other Waiters and Manager of Hotel Anthony. DESERTED BY RELATIVES Refuse to go on Trentman's Bail- Physicians Predict that Bruce Will. Recover From Injuries. FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 31.—Anthony R. Trentman, a prominent business man of Fort Wayne and Chicago, is a prisoner in the county jail here for shooting H. J. Bruce, the colored head waiter of the Anthony Hotel. None of Trentman's relatives has offered bail, and he will probably remain in jail until April 11, when his case will be called for trial. Trentman shot Bruce in the cafe of the Anthony Hotel while under the influence of liquor. The head waiter is a patient at the Hope Hospital, and his attending physicians think his chances for recovery are good. The bullet entered between the tenth and eleventh ribs. In the event of Bgucc's recovery the charge of shooting with intent to kill which under the Indiana statutes carries a sentence of one to eight years, will be brought. If the head waiter dies Trentman will have to stand trial for murder in the first degree. This is the second revolver play in which Trentman has figured in the Anthony Hotel in recent months. Some weeks ago he followed some of the guests upstairs with a gun, but was disarmed before he did any damage. Trentman divides his time between Fort Wayne, where he is interested in numerous enterprises, and Chicago, where he is president of the Paragon Foundation Company. Trentman Under the Influence of Liguor Last Friday afternoon he went directly from the tram to the Anthony Hotel, and upon his arrival it was noticed that he was under the influence of liquor. He continued drinking throughout the afternoon, and when he entered the cafe to eat he continually found fault, talking harshly to W. L. Easley, who attended him. Three times Manager William A. Black says Trentman walked from the cafe to the desk in the lobby and lodged complaints, and even 'asked Black to come and wait on him, as he could get no service from Negroes. When the meal was finished Trentman called for his overcoat. Bruce had just sent Easley to the desk for change and stepped to the table to tell Trentman that his coat would be brought presently. Trentman unnecessarily made a heated reply, in which he insulted the head waiter. Bruce was heard to resent the insult, which he did in a gentlemanly 'maner. Then Trentman made some remark about 'not permitting a Negro to talk to him like that,' and then fired point blank at the head waiter. Some of the daily papers, in publishing 'accounts of the shooting, refer to the cause of the shooting as a mystery. The hotel management does not see where any mystery comes in, asserting that Trentman shot Bruce without good cause while beastly intoxicated. R. L. NEWSOME.

The legal and other relations of a man and a woman will always have a sentimental, mysterious and often a tragic interest for grown-ups, from which novelists, poets and divorce court lawyers often reap a harvest of gold. The world-wide agitation for a larger participation by woman in the work of the world outside the home relations with consequent threatening of the impairment, if not the destruction, of the Christian home life, heightens the general interest in the subject. The Philadelphia Public Library says: Whenever thinks that the courts are not aftected by popular sentiment should think again. The highest court of the United States, supported in an splendid isolation in the National Capitol, between the House and the Senate, is in its exception to the rule. What the nation thinks is reflected in its decisions. And what the women want, the Judges are afraid to drop if there is any color of law to support their claim. The most recent yielding of this mighty tribunal to the sentiment of the time was when it decided that a man and his wife are two. It was in a case involving the right of a woman to acquire a separate legal residence from that of her husband. If they were one, two residences would naturally be impossible, for the same body cannot be in two places at the same time. But if the script is legally two, the whole matter becomes easier. Thus does feminine matter by slow but sure stages, and more man, as he sees it progress, may well tremble less it should reach the final goal where a man and his wife are one again and that one the woman. The Age is heartily in favor of most of the reforms demanded for women in their relations to society as wives and sisters, as adult wage earners, as child laborers, as independent persons in the management of their affairs when they reach the legal age; but when the effort is made, and with so much success, to legalize the equality of the sexes in their relations to the state, when woman is admittedly disqualified to perform the full duties of a citizen as man does, introducing into the home life new causes for disagreement between the husband and wife, all thoughtful people question the wisdom of giving the women what they demand simply because they demand it. The man and woman are two people—there is no longer controversy about that—and cannot be made one except by a marriage agreement in the nature of a contract, and even in that case the husband and not the wife is construed by law to be the head of the house, the family A TALKING DETECTIVE A talking detective is a new thing in criminal apprehension, and it is to be hoped that his tribe will not increase. The detectives we have read about in the story books of Edgar Van Poe, Balaic Gaborone, Arthur Conan Doyle, and stacks of dime novel "thrillers," were a "silent lot, who worked out their theories without a brass, band and with- INTERMARRIAGE OF THE RACES IN CONGRESS It is very generally conceded that the vital questions of marriage and divorce should be uniform throughout the nation, so that a marriage or a divorce valid in one State should be valid in every State. The two questions affect directly, the home life, and therefore the citizenship of the nation; the well-being of the one and the other being inseparable, the existence of a citizenship not rooted in the home-life being inconceivable. But they are questions-not delegated to the Federal Government, and are, therefore, reserved to the States. The inevitable outcome, is that confusion-prevails everywhere, each of the forty-eight States having a marriage and divorce law of its own, so that a marriage or divorce in one State may be illegal in the adjoining State, or in all of the forty-seven other States. The Committee on the District of Columbia reported favorably, "with the recommendation that it do pass," to the House of Representatives, on March 21, 1914, H. R. 1710, introduced by Mr. Clark of Florida, April 7, 1913, being a "bill to prohibit the intermarriage of the white and Negro races within the District of Columbia." There seemed to be no member of the committee or of the House to brand as a lie the statement of the Committee on the District of Columbia, that "Many States in the Union have laws which prohibit the marriage of any person of the Caucasian or white race with a Negro. There is no law against such intermarriages in the District of Columbia, and we feel that this District should be in line with the general sentiment of the Union upon this subject." The lie is to be found in the assumption that "many States"—mostly in the Southern and Southeastern group—constitute "the general sentiment of the States of the Union," and that all "white persons" are arbitrarily classed as Caucasian. The Standard Dictionary gives eighteen classifications of Eur-African races, of which the "Circassian (Caucasio)" is rated 17 in the list, between the (16) Arab-Semite and the (18) Abyssinian Hamito-Semite. The Japhetites are not even accounted for, having been absorbed by the Hamites and Semites in the making of the Jewish race, who are the only "chosen people of the Lord," the white races having no inheritance as a race in the prophecies, except such as they received of Paul of Denjamin, a descendant of Abra-Ham and Keturah, his third wife. "God shall enlarge Japhet; he shall dwell in the tents of Shem and Canaan shall be his servant," said Noah. But where is Japhet? "Mr. Clark says lie is Circassian of Caucasus, as are all whites; but we know that Mr. Clark is a Florida "cracker," coming straight from the poor white trash" mix-up, and began his career of glory as a type-setter in an office with men as black as ink and as "yaller" as tanned shoe leather! So with the precious Gentiles. Where are they, all white? Not a one of them claims to be a Gentile. We know where the Hamite and Shenite came from and where they are now, a part of every nation's life; but the Japhetite is lost, devoured, while the white races do not know where they came from and why they came, nor where they are going, and why they go. Having got all they possess from Aegypt (which is Mizraim), including corn and corn whiskey, the mule, the dog and the duck, they want now to deny everything to Mizraim (which is Aegypt), the second son of Ham! It is very ludicrous as well as very tragical, because they are straining "the enlargement" to the bursting point in their repudiation of "the Brotherhood of Man." The saying is as (true in this country now as it was in Sparta before the Christian era, that "It is a wise son who knows his father, while any fool knows his mother." The Christian nations in Europe and America are being shaken to their foundations in their churches and states, because their preachers and statesmen have lived out the letter of the Go-spell of the Lord and stumble at the Word of God, the spirit of which they do not understand. It is needful that statesmen of Mr Clark's stamp (and there are many of them in Congress and in State legislatures) should understand the truth; but how can they when great bishops like Gaifor and great preachers like Russell and great scholars like Eliot-stammer at the letter and fall-down at the word of prophecy? "Ye be men and brethren" was not spoken in jest; those who have accepted it and made it constitutional law of the land will be held strictly to account by the Spirit of the Word for a just construction and application of the principle involved. Look at the immoral aspects of the Clark bill: (1) Prohibition of marriage between a white and Negro person; "any person having one-eighth of Negro blood shall be deemed to be a Negro." (2) Violation of the law subjecting each person to a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000, by imprisonment at hard labor for not less than one nor more than five years, or both fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the trial court. (3) Any officer, minister or other person who renders aid or assistance to any white and Negro person in violating the law to be fined not less than $250 nor more than $1,000, or by fine and imprisonment at hard labor of not less than six months nor more than one year, or both." The Clark bill may not become a law at this session of Congress, and the next Congress, as far as the House is concerned, may be radically changed in its partisan complexion; but it is the duty of the colored people to fight the passage of it as every point. It is only one of the many Democratic measures to rob the colored people of every civil and political right given them by the three War Amendments to the Federal Constitution. It is not a desire to marry a white man or woman that should prompt opposition to the bill, but the principle involved. There is no general disposition anywhere among whites or blacks to intermarry, both races deferring to marry among their own, but any law that would prevent them from doing so in the isolated cases that present themselves would be a hardship that one part of the people have no just right to place upon another part. The immorality of such a law is obvious to need pointing out here. In the Southern States the consequence to be found on every hand, colored women with white men's children or their hands to support and educate, with no legal responsibility resting upon the white fathers, being too common to occasion, comment among those to whom the sight has become familiar things. And it will grow with the years, despite restraining laws and antagonistic public opinion. The burden of supporting the white men's children is thrown upon the black and colored women and the burden of the white man's immorality is thrown upon the Negro race. The law should not make possible nor sanction such a condition. out taking the newspaper reporters and the public into their confidence. Imagine, if you can, the famous Pinkertons or London's Scotland Yard_experts doing that. Mr William J. Burns is the inventor of the talking detective expert. He has gained much fame as a detective of late years, but as a working and not as a blabbing detective. Down in Atlanta, where tragedies happen when they feel like it, Leo Frank, a manufacturer, was accused of murdering Mary Phagan, a factory girl, with accompanying horrors most repulsive, and was convicted of the crime and sentenced to hanged. Since the conviction an active campaign, has been waged to secure a new trial for Frank, on the ground that his trial was unfair and that new evidence favorable to him has been found. At this writing the new trial has not been grazed him. After Frank was convicted Detective Burns was called into the case, and very soon began to talk. Of course there was a Negro in the case. There seldom ever is a case anywhere in which there is not a Negro or a woman, or bath. It is so in life and in the story books. The Negro is called Jim Conley. Detective Burns' talk to newspaper reporters has been directed mainly to creating the impression that Frank is not guilty at all and should have a new trial, and by insultation rather than his direct statement, that Jim Conley must be the guilty man and should be for committing the crime. We think the courts and the public should frown upon the new detective talking method adopted by Mr Burns. Leo Frank is a Brooklyn Jew, and his wealthy friends appear to have hired, Detective Burns to save his life, guilty or innocent: Jim Conley is an Atlanta Negro, and it is doubtful if he has any friends, rich or poor, who want to save his life. 'As between the Negro and the Jew Tie Age is concerned only that the guilty man he made to suffer on the world is innocent,' and so on. 'The weight of talk-made sentiment created by a talking detective. It is easy to convict a black and hard to convict, a white man in Georgia. JUSTICE FOR THE CHINESE PEOPLE. Far be it from THE Age, directly or indirectly, knowingly and with malice aforethought, to say aught that would injure an individual, a race or a nation, knowingly, and with the purpose of gaining unjust advantage. We believe in rendering to everyone all that belongs to him, of good or bad report, and insist that everyone shall do unto us in like manner. We know how hard it is to do this in the case of others and to get them to do it in our case, but we expect it and insist upon it as a matter of principle. In the last issue of THE Age, the proffeacher made us say, in the leading editorial, headed "A Harlem Philosopher on Business Stagnation": "Even the Chinese merchants import from the home country all of the meats, eggs and vegetables that can be cold-stored, for transportation, and sell them to their countrymen, who prefer their home goods to the goods of the country of their adoption and where they earn, each of them, as much in a day as the savage Chinaman can earn in a week in the home country." We did not say, and did not mean, "savage Chinaman." We did say, and we did mean, "average Chihuahua. There is a wide, a radical, difference in the meaning of the two words. The Chinese people claim a civilization 6,000 years older than our Christian civilization. At home they are among the most industrious and frugal people on earth; they can make a dollar go farther, last longer and do more, and better service than any other people. Their moral standard is different, from ours, it is true, and they have been victimized by worse rulers than any other modern people except the Buddhists of India; but of late years they have thrown off the yoke of their impartial masters and mistresses and the nobility and adopted Republican form of government and affect modern ways. There is every reason to suppose that within the present century, judged by their present tendencies, the Chinese nation will be one as positive and difficult for the white races to deal with as the Japanese nation has become in the past fifteen years. The few Chinamen in the United States are noted for sticking close together in all of their social and business relations, for shunning associations with the people of the country, for working all of the time in the employments open to them and taking advantage of every trade opportunity possible, and of holding on to the money they make. These are pronounced race traits that the Negro people can cultivate to advantage. An evangelist who says he is engaged in his Master's work should be an exemplary Christian and not a fraud, not one engaged in preaching the gospel primarily, for money, but one who feareth the Lord; not a falsifier or one who persuaded another to perjure himself to help him, the evangelist, to fleece his brothers. Such a man is not fit to preach the doctrine of Salvation. There is such an individual at present traveling about the country. The Christian people in the communities he infests should say to him: Get the behind me, thou hypocrite; we will have none of you. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY THE SEPARATE 'CAR LAW. To the Editor of The Aesop. The members of the North Carolina Teachers' Association will undoubtedly appreciate the Increased interest given to the enforcement of the separate car station's recent letter extensively published in all the papers. While we are satisfied the letter will do much toward directing increased attention and interest in the car station, we are equally satisfied that, Dr. Washington is in error if he is expecting to accomplish much results from his advice matter with the railroad officials. For some years we have been doing this very thing and the writer also has received a similar letter from the late Dr. Washington. The late President Flley of the Southern Railway and also the present President Harrison both have written letters explaining to give fair and equal treatment to all. In fact, the "policy" of the railroads is simply beautiful; but as we wrote President Harrison, it is not the policy of the railroads that disturbs us, it is the practice. It is of no importance to the Negroes who may be killed by the railroads, but is no comfort to Negroes who travel taking extra risks upon their lives and enduring less comforts and conventionales to be a assured of the policy of the railroads and the protection of our lives, the comforts and safety guaranteed under the law. Now we can only get this by resor- tioning the law and by securing the enforcement of the law. Waste of time to discuss this matter with the railroad officials. They know what the law is and they know they are North Carolina Teachers' Association is appealing to all Negroes who are dissatisfied with the treatment to sub- sidies. We can raise $200 or $400 to make a vigor- ous legal prosecution for our legal protection. We commend the Negro- reader, our paper the example of Negroes in Kentucky. We have indicted the railroads for viola- tion of the law. It will require something of this sort to bring to us rights and conveniences guaranteed to us by Do not be deceived by polite letters and soft promises. We must make a determined effort. if we want to change conditions. The writer on behalf of the Association teaches the Association appeals again to each teacher who is 'dissatisfied with present conditions and who is able to contribute, to send $1 and we are satisfied, can revolutionize railroad accommodation for Negroes in North Carolina.

In your excellent paper entitled "Going the Right Way," the thought comes to me that, further good could be done in this direction by a formal Race Pride Day." Such a day could be observed in two ways—by each Negro preacher in the land delivering a special sermon on this occasion, by a Negro preacher who benefits derived from supporting our business concerns, and by urging that on this day or the day following, every Negro purchase an article of some amusement, by a token of future support. In order to bring about such a day it would be necessary for the newspapers and the preachers to take To the Point. To the Edition of The Axe; to the Edition of The Axe; to think without a doubt it is the best paper our face has. James A. Kennedy, Geneva University. The Tenth Cavalry as it is. To the Matter of the Age: Having noted an article in your issue, stant steward of your paper, I take the liberty of sending you this communication as I believe you have been led to print what is a deliberate misrepres- tation of your paper, the article entitled "The Tenth Cavalry on the Border," by "An Old Soldier." The statements of your correspondent are at variance with the truth as a whole, with the exception of the dates we left, Vernont and arrived at Fort Huachuca. The following is the routine of duties of the Tenth Cavalry, stationed at this post, viz: Revelie, loved by ten minutes setting up exercise (this is a drill to develop the body and is sadly needed by about ninety per cent of the young man now enter- ing the army. The drill is mounted drill 8.8 m. to 10 m. m.; mounted drill 8.8 m. to 10 m.; m.; stables 10 a. m. to 11 a. m.; m.; forcing exercise 11 a. m. to 11 a. m.; dinner. 12:15 p. m.; at 12:15 p. m.; gift 6:30 m.; mounted cavalry carriage at leasure, and they have been well- equipped, library, bowling alley, swimming pool, biltford and pool tables, and most of the troops have pianos, with to amuse themselves, of which mention was made by an "Old Soldier." Your correspondent also leaves the impression that "guard" is a daily duty, whereas it alternates between eight and nine days before a soldier leaves the office for hours out of the twenty-four. Your correspondent also states that 128 men have been discharged and only two have re-englanced, which is a gross aggression, as we have only had thirty-two men discharged of whom thirteen have been discharged in the cent. That is a grand showing for any post or regiment. I do not dispute the statement that he attributes-to- the white soldiers months, although the fact seems incredible to me. Perhaps that is the reason we have one-half hour saber drill in the afternoon is done by her soldiers. The departmentartment der for the reason that at previous inspections by the commanding general of this department the soldiers were drilled.

Chaplain Gladden with his wife and family came to us (the third Sattation and Commandment of the FF) six months ago. So far they have "Gladdened" the hearts-of-those with whom they have come in contact. Our men are beginning to know that Christianity is a panacea for all lilies of the human family. They realize that religion the man is incompleta. The Age always occupies a conspicuous place in our library. We are proud to present it with eagerness because of its broad and outspoken manner of treating the most vital topic of the day, the race question. GEORGE A. SINGLETON. 24th Infantry, U. S. A. Camp Mecrath, Philippine Islands. Senator Cummins and the Jones Amendment. To the Editor of The Age: In answer to an editorial in The Age some week ago in regard to Senators Cummins and Kenyon of Iowa, voting against the appropriation for a new bill, write to submit the following facts: That the Agricultural Extension Bill there was a provision providing that in those states which had two or more agricultural colleges the legislatures of those states should have the appropriation. Senator Jones of Washington, offered an amendment, which is as substantial copy of the law relating to former appointees of the legislature and which had never been of any material value to the colored people. Senator Cummins: was making a speech against the provision in the various states to decide where the appropriation should go, for it was perfectly manifest that if the legislatures were permitted to decide the colored states, South would not get no benefit whatever. Senator Cummins must have made some impression, because, during his speech Senator Shafroth of Colorado, the governor of South, right and suggested instead of the States' Amendment the bill he so changed that it would require the joint act of the Governor of a State and the Secretary of Agriculture, and he thought of such a provision. Senator Cummins immediately answered that such a provision would be useful, but it still thinks so. It will certainly do more to get part of this money into the hands of the colored people than the white people, and immediately offered that sort of an amendment to the original bill and it was adopted. Then, of course, the Jones Amends. ment came up, which would have stricken out what Senator A. B. Cummins had already secured and to which he had agreed, and of course he was compaled to vote against the Jones Amendment. Senator A. B. Cummins will now readily see that Senator A. B. Cummins was the only man who succeeded in getting anything into the bill that would give the Negro's chance for his rights. A surprised correspondent from Florida asks if we would allow fellowship with Negroes in social relations in school or church. "No," he回答s, "in School Church." 3. Brother, the other day a colored girl took the bronze medal for completing the courses in six and a half years, the first time it has been done in the school; and another 108 took the silver medal for proficiency in German; and the German gentleman who presented it—nearly lost his breath when he saw his color, given and the audience of three the second round with applause.

Have you ever thought how much a kiss means to her? Your material aid is all right, but a dear, loving mother craves an occasional kiss. Some girls in the rush in preparing for a school or business seem to lose sight of mother and everyone else at home. Perhaps you have overtap, breakfast didn't suit, couldn't get that ribbon now just in the right place, clock seemed to move faster than ever, consistently everybody in your path is compelled to suffer and out you go with a sham bang of the door that seels, shiver over everyone. Hardly have you reached the street before you meet a friend and everything is all over you. How do you know whether God will spare you to get back to that home and mother? How much better for yourself and household to have left with a good-love kiss and a kind word? Worry school and a pleasant chat about the way you reach home and the minute you step in the door you feel awkward because you are afraid of the house or asked to help a little around the home. Think of that tired mother who has work of hard all day and the steps she took for you when you couldn't help yourself. Some are afraid to say anything else to your feeling by shammin doors, throwing things about and even so far until the poor old cat that has murring before the fire crawls away and hides fear of the lerl life. Try to avoid such ugly actions, and am to cultivate a loving spirit for your mother and be good and helpful to the one who is willing to give her life for you. Perhaps you have never seen a child show you can add to her life by just giving her a chance to change from the monotony of housewild duties. Save her all you can, for you'll never miss her till she's gone. Don't II. Don't be cruel to the little ones and even the household pets if you wish God to be kind to you. Don't even though you have reached the age where you feel you can usurp a little authority remember you were little once and someone was compelled to have patience with you to bring you to your present stage. Even dumb animals know what it is to be treated kindly. Surprise you were subjected to. Do you know them for it purpose and if you wish the Lord to be kind to you do ye kindness to all His creation.

PLAYWRIGHTS in need of material for a farce comedy are respectfully referred to the State of Alabama, where Oscar W. Underwood and Richmond Pearson Hobson are engaged in a bitter fight for the nomination of United States Senator. The Democratic primaries will be held, Friday, April 6, and as there are, no Republicans or Progressive opponents, the nomination will be equivalent, to election. The colored American is no longer active in politics in Alabama, due to the enactment of vicious and illegal laws, yet the Negro question will not down, as has been amusingly illustrated during the Underwood-Hobson campaign. One of the chief questions at issue in the campaign is, "Did candidate Hobson, while appearing on the Chautauqua circuit with colored singers, refer to them as ladies and gentlemen?" Such issues as the Panama Canal tells, the attitude of the United States in the Mexican situation and the tariff are of no moment to the ignorant, illiterate whites of Alabama. These questions have been obscured by one more vital and all-absorbing. To these voters the high cost of living is a subject of very little consequence. The question which affects them most is: "Did Candidate Hobson, while appearing on the Chauauqua circuit with colored singers, refer to them as ladies and gentlemen" Candidate Hobson reluctantly admits WILLIAMS' WORLD FAMOUS FAVORITES OF THE 130 PERFORMANCE that he appeared on the same Chautauqua circuit with colored singers—a most damaging admission, as he has been guilty of indulging in "social equality" with colored Americans, according to the social ethics of the professional Southerner. But Candidate Hobson emphatically denies that he made reference to the colored singers as ladies and gentlemen. A thousand times no! To have committed such an unpardonable crime Candidate Hobson positively and unreservedly emits the cheering news to white Alabama that he is not guilty! It seems that Candidate Hobson got mixed up in the Negro question, in this particular instance, because of his desire to put in a good word for Williams' Colored Jubilee Singers. Candidate Hobson has spent considerable time in recent years on Chautauqua circuits delivering speeches denouncing the Demon Rum. So it came to pass that Williams' Colored Jubilee Singers appeared on the same program with Candidate Hobson on several occasions, and as the hero of the Spanish-American War knows good singing when he hears it, he did not think is amiss to compliment Manager Charles R. Williams and the members of his company. Now Manager Williams has been engaged in concert work for seventeen years, and he has an eye to business. When Richmond Pearson Hobson voiced his appreciation of the vocal work done by this aggregation of singers Williams asked the gentleman from Alabama if he might include the Hobson indorsement with the testimonials of William Jennings Bryan and other prominent Democratic statesmen who had spoken in high praise of the concert companys' singing. Richmond Pearson Hobson answered in the affirmative, and Manager Williams personally wrote, the following letter, which he had published with a large number of other testimonials: I have met Williams Jubilee Singers on several chautauqua platforms. They are ladies and gentlemen of culture, and also great singers and entertainers. Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, All would have gone well with the Hobson indorsement had not Richmond Pearson 'Hobson entered' the race against Oscar W. Underwood for United States Senator. But, alas! An innocent circular containing the 'Hobson testimonial chanced to stray into Alabama, and when Candidate Hobson's opponents spied it their enthusiasm was unbounded. They had at last discovered a deadly instrument, that would deliver to Candidate Hobson in the political arena just what "Jack" Johnson did to "Jim" Jeffries. The testimonial was eagerly taken into captivity; and the poor, illiterate whites were apprised of the awful and dreadful news. Even the Birmingham Age-Herald, which is usually conservative and is not given to publishing demagogic appeals, evinced unusual concern in the Hobson indorsement, and last, week while in New York City Manager Williams received the following telegram from Hugh W. Roberts, of the Age Herald: In referring to your circular quoting Capt. Hobson's indorsement of the jubilee singers, Hobson is asserting that you have confessed in writing that you forged Hobson's name. Please wire me if it is not a fact that Capt. Hobson did appear on the chauauqua circuit with your singers and that he did use expressions with reference to the chauauqua singing Hobson. I would appreciate your sending copies of any letter or statement which you may have sent Capt. Hobson, or his political managers in order that the matter may be put in its true light. HUGH W. ROBERTS, Birmingham Age. Herald. Manager Williams, in answering the sender of the telegram, wired that Candidate Hobson did not write the indorsement, but he did not go into de- COLORED SINGERS TWO CONTINENTS ES IN LONDON, ENG. tails or make an effort to explain how it all had happened. As the white people of the North, East and West have found occasion to congratulate the jubilee singers on their deportment, the members of the company are being often referred to as ladies and gentlemen. Manager Williams took the liberty of inserting what proved to be highly objectionable to those who find it profitable to array the ignorant white people against the colored American. One hears much about the Negro problem in the South, but with the shrewd white politicians using illiterate Caucasians as mere puppets, appealing to baset passions instead of human reasoning: instilling in their narrow and undeveloped minds that the color of one's skin counts more than education, achievement and character, you are apt to forget the humorous aspect of the Alabama Senatorial contest and wonder if the Negro alone is responsible for the rate question in the Southland. William's Jubilee Singers enjoy an enviable reputation as concert artists. They have appeared in every section of the United States except the South, and in 1910-11 made a tour of the world, giving 130 performances in London, England. The company was organized by Charles P. Williams in 1904, and has sung in all the colleges, Y. M. C. A.'s and normal schools on the Pacific Coast. J. J. Johnson is Mr. Williams' partner and the musical director of the company.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE "bunny" Supple, the house manager of the Lafayette Theatre, is beginning to lose that worried look he has been carrying about since his return to Harlem, and although the smile he has been wearing now is so expressive as that of last week, yet it is a smile just the same. Business continues to "pick up" at the Lafayette, hence the reason a smile decorates Manager Supple's face. Now as to the face at the Lafayette Theatre, half of the week. The Worcester, trick bicycle riders of color, start the entertainment, and the male member of the team is very much at home on one wheel as he is on two. The act has a weak finish. White and White, dancers, hand out a varied assortment of steps, and these young men merited all the young men honored on them. A good dancing act. Maybe the Aloha Twins, billed as "Hawaiian dancers," have seen Honolulu, but it is doubtful. However, it would be a safe bet to wager that they celebrated March 17. But, be it as it may, they create more commotion with their dancing than all the other acts put together. The audience seemed to like their peculiar style of "dancing" over which there seems to be a difference of opinion between the young, coming along to the thirteenth jacobee class or the school of modern dances. Murphy and Walker continue to provide much merriment with their humorous dialogue, but why they insist on wearing such a horrid, make-up is a mystery. They can get by with the good material they have without the big mouth and ill-plated clothes. Criwell and Bailey, who made such a hit at the LaFayette a few weeks ago, are heading the bill, assisted by a company of ten. Aside from helping to dress these tags, the additional membors do not help Criwell and Bailey very much. In fact, they are much stronger alone. So the act now stands there is too much talk and not enough singing. Ora Criswell is developing into a clever comedienne. TEMPO CLUB CONCERT. That the big dance and concert of the Tempo Club at Manhattan Casino Wednesday evening, April 8, will be a big success is already assured. All but a few of the boxes have been sold.

A large delegation of music lovers from neighboring cities is expected. Mr. and 'Mrs. Vernon Castle, the world's incomparable interpreters of modern dances, are not the only stars to appear at the Tempo Club entertainment.

Rosamond Johnson and Tom Brown, Jolly John Larkins, Abbie Mitchell, Criswell and Bailey, Smith and Burris and C. Happy Rhone will aid in making the program one to be long remembered. Usherers for the evening will be Frank Kirkby Royal Buleadge, Hamilton William Pogue, Robert P. Lattimer, B. F. Janver, Warren Logan, Jr., Wendell Tucker, John Russell Hunt, Alonzo Chadwick, Dr. Louis Baxter, Thomas Angrem, T. Edward Proctor, Louis Caution and R. Warrick Cheesman', THEATRES IN NORFOLK, VA. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: As I am a regular reader of The Age, a strong admirer of your paper and also the pioneer colored theatrical manager of the State of Virginia, having been the first colored man to open a theater in the State I deem it my duty to acquaint you with the facts concerning the colored theatres of Norfolk. In a recent issue of -The Age their appeared a statement that there is not a theatre in the City of Norfolk catering to first class colored people, and that white promoters, are preparing to build a theater in the expressness of "unlitting" the Norfolk Race. The statement was also made that the respectable colored people of Norfolk have no place to go for amusement. I desire to brand these statements-as false. In the first place, I have a little theatre situated in the heart of the Nesro business section, which caters to all classes of people, where the best of order prevails and where any employee can be a judge. This theatre has been renovated and remodeled and is modern in its appointments, capable of seating four hundred persons, and is well ventilated, clean and sanitary. The house plays the best colored acts available, having booked such acts as the Carter Trio, Tim and Hester Moore, Bradford and Irene, and the Catherine and the Whitman and Pleks, Rose Fox and Pleks, the Pewees, Muriel Ringold, Princess Rajah, the Brown Sisters, C. H. Coffee, Daisy Martin, English and Queen Dorn, Lillian Brown and a host of other responsible acts, known the country over for cleanliness and well as ability and stage deportment. I have also played such shows as the Southern Smart, Set Company, J. Leubrie Hill's Blackville Corporation and several stock companies. Now why should any one say that I do not cater to the better element of the people? You must know that a manager in investing his money in a theatre cannot cater to any one class of people, but to everybody; that is the public in general. I have never in my exp. known of a manager refusing to accept money at his box office, excepting at "Jim Crow" the剧院 where colored people are not allowed to enter under any circumstances. Now what does any white man in the South who conducts a colored theatre care about the morals of the Negro or about race uprift? Nothing! All Negroes look alike to me. He inside with hat on and a clear in his mouth and doesn't respect one colored woman any more than another, for no matter how much a lady she may be she is a colored, woman to him. Usually, when a high class white man builds a theatre in the South he bites into the audience. In every Negro in the South knows what a poor white man thinks of a Negro Such white managers do not respect colored people—men or women. I write these facts and can prove every word of it. There are only two theaters in Norfolk owned by colored men. The first one is the house where recently opened by one of Norfolk's oldest and most highly-respected business men, who is a Christian gentleman. This theatre is on the same street as the Pekin Theatre, about two blocks away. The proprietor of the Royal Theatre can The colored people will not patronize Negro enterprises, although the Royal Theatre is one of the finest little colored picture houses to be found anywhere. But visit the place any night and you will find secretly one hundred people in colorful houses run by white people for colored people and you will find more LAFAYETTE THEATRE Seventh Avenue,Between 131st and 132nd Sts.

Of course this statement seems strange, but it is true. Notwithstanding the fact that the two colored theatres, have been built and clearly can be found in Norfolk, there are hundreds of Norseros in the city who refuse to support their own enterprises. Under such discouraging, conditions can you blame colored men from not wanting to invest in colored amusement enterprises? If so, what is the remedy? C. W. MOSLEY Mgr. Pekin Theatre, Norfolk, Va. Editor's Note—This letter was written by Mr. Mosley in reply to a statement appearing in a recent issue of The Age in which white promoters, in the midst of black theatre in Norfolk for colored people, were accused as saying there was not a theatre in Norfolk for respectable colored Americans to patronize.

The Alpha bowlers crossed the bridge and walloped the "Trolley Dodgers" good and plenty on their own alleys, and they did it good and proper. The Avons went all to pieces under the pounding and haven't been able to collect their thoughts since. The first game was great from Alpha's point of view and showed Alpha to be in great shape and the team's total number of pins in this game is a record number for the tournament up to the present. Alpha's score, in this game was $22 and no doubt the team will make even a higher score before the contest is over. Many bowlers thought the second game might have been saved to the Ayons if their captain had strengthened his lineup instead of keeping it intact, especially as two or three of the team's old veteran bowlers were on the waiting list, ready to be called in. The Alphas have taken the lead and it is doubtful if they can lose it now, so the contest looks as if it is a fight between the "Dodgers" and the Speed-wells for second place.

Sam Langford defeated Jim Johnson on points last Friday evening at the Empire A. C., but at that Johnson made Langford hustle to win the decision. The colored fighters boxed ten rounds, and although Langford is much the cleverer, Jim Johnson gave evidence of being a fighter of promise. If he was a white man he would be looked upon as the most brilliant of fighters. But Sam Langford had the decision bottled up in his favor from start to finish, even if his opponent showed an inclination to mix up things. At present Jim Johnson is slim and he doesn't use his head enough. At that he can defeat any "white hope" at huge.

Emanuel Church Pastor Bolden's sermons on "Immanuellism" are drawing-large crowds to the various services. The thoughts given are a source of inspiration to those who hear them. He said, "Jesus the Christ is Immanuel. We Immanuelists see and know Him as God. In this we are in harmony with Tls words concerning Himself, His manifestations and His holy apostles declarations of Him. As a proof of these things note the time, taking to time, walking upon waves, calming the seas, healing by word the sick, casting out devils, and giving sight to the blind. As to His words they valance with equal.pulse His acts. I am the light of the world. I am the door, I am the good shepherd. I am the Father's Son. I am the living bread which came down from Heaven; if any man eat of this bread he shall live forever; and the bread which I shall give him is my flesh. which I will give forth life of the world and I live by the Father, the Father and I are one. I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself but from me, God of Myself of Him is sustained by His apostles and all operating Immanuellians everywhere, for they know Him as a forgiver of sins and a triumphant one over, death; they see Him as God that made the world and all things therein; they observe that He is Lord of Heaven and of earth, dwelling not in temples, churches, schools or any other buildings made with hands. No one need think they confer a favor upon Him when they worship Him in any form or manner. For He gives to all things life, and life to all things. For in Him we live, move and our being. We sprang from Him. Whether men and things are what we call good or bad, God is what we call good. Immanuel Church is therefore giving to Jesus the Christ, the Immanuel, the just rightful place due Him in human history, by telling that we know Him as God with us; that we know Him as a pure, Holy, Eternal, Living God, rather than a name corruptly conceived, humanly twisted, principle Christianity.
