MEXICAN PEON A MENACETONEGRO
Influx Into Gulf States of Low-Class Mexicans Create Problem
ALTERLABORCONDITIONS
Are Employed by Southern Cities, Railroads and Corporations in Preference to Negroes.
Work Under Condition Which the Negre Cannot Stomach—Thrive on Filth and Dirt.

SAN AXTOXO, Tex., May 5.—The Mexican revolution, which has impoverished Mexico and resulted in untold misery and slaughter of human beings, not only presents a problem, but the pinnix of Mexican refugees into this country who have died and are fleeing from their country to escape constriction presents a grave and menacing problem for the Negroes, especially of this State, but even for those as far west as Kansas. These thousands of Mexicans—who have arrived, and are arriving daily into Texas, constitute a menace to Negro labor in that they are driving the Negro out of employment on city work, public buildings, railroad construction work, farm work and other work upon which the Negro has hereforebeen employed almost exclusively.
In this city the Mexican population has increased to quite one-third of the total city population. In nearly all the construction work here, and to a large degree throughout the State, the Mexican has driven the Negro out because he works cheaper and is able to live cheaper than the Negro, the Negro being unable to adjust himself to the pit and squalor to which the Mexican preen is indifferent. Not only is the Mexican driving the Negro out of construction work, but as drivers of delivery agents, quotes and chars he is going to some thing, and is even found servicing porters and cleaners around railroad stations. Practically all the railroad running in all Texas as well as city lines are complying with Mexicans on construction work. In the construction of Negroes in Temple Waco, Dallas, Fort Worth and other Texas towns the Mexican preen attracts to explain Negro life. Even in Missouri and Kansas the Mexican preen as a railroad construction hand is beginning to present a misleading problem for unskilled Negro labor.
Peons Use No Furniture
The Mexican peon lives cheaply in shacks with scarcely any furniture. So scant as the furniture in their homes that when they decide to vacate one huse it occupies another they can almost imitate the legendary Arabi, who in the silence of the night folded this huse and quietly stole away. The moving a Mexican from one house to another is but a matter of a few moments. Many of their homes do not own contain chairs—they squat on the they as the Red man, squats in his figure.
There is nothing common between the Mexican peon, who has arrived and is arriving in this State daily, and then slowly but surely moving northward, and the American Negro. The Negro does here regards himself as being superior to the grossly illiterate and greasy Mexican peon, and the peon, taciturn and seclusive, gives no indication of a desire to affiliate with the Negro. He indicates no desire to affiliate with any race. He is content to be left alone with his own. On all the railroads, no after filthy or how dark his skin, and some of them are very, very dark, the Mexican peon rides in the same craach with the whites, and that, too, without complaint from the whites, while Negroes, no matter how cleanly and genetically attired, or how cultured, are forced into the small compartment labeled "For Negroes."
Verily the Mexican revolution which has enpired into America's melting pot and upon thousands of Mexican men presents a seriously menacingblem to the unskilled Negro laborer, alone in this state, but in sister state, living to the north whose railroad run into and through the Lone State. And this menace, fully reared and appreciated by the race, sug- the local Negro Business Lea- ture section increased activity, after race cooperation. The Mex- for the past three years has in the murder and outrage of men on Mexican soil, and con- of American property located into country, are now free to Rio Grande, and once over southern municipalities, railroads and corporations re- bigrands of yesterday with man in preference to the Negro there has been the strong, and docile ox. This country can have, if not already, a Mexican on the north side of the Rio more serious than the one now making it on the south side.

BODY SERVANT ACTS AS
BODY SERVANT ACTS AS MEDIATOR FOR HERO
General Daniel Edgar Sickles, whose record during the civil war, placed him among the heroes of the country, died at his home, 23 Fifth avenue, Sunday night, May 3, at 9:10 o'clock.
An estrangement with his wife and son which had lasted twenty-nine years was bridged over a few days before his death through the mediation of Frazer-Mosley, who had been the general's personal attendant for a number of years. Mrs. Sara Mosley, his wife, has also been attached to the personal service of Gen. Sickles. When the doctor announced last Thursday that death was a matter of only a few days Mr. Mosley sought Stanton Sickles, the son, at his apartments in the Hotel Albert, University Place, and told him what the doctor had said. The son went to his mother and in a short while she was
FRAZIER MOSLEY
at her husband's bedside, where she remained until the end. He died in her arms.
Frazier Mosley is a native of Dover, Del. He was highly thought of by Gen. Sickles, and for the past five years has given his time to his, employer-day and night. After the death of the veteran's housekeeper, which occurred in February, the sole care of the patient devolved upon Mr. Mosley. It is the wish of Stanton Sickles that Mr. Mosley accompany the funeral party to Arlington Cemetery. Washington, D. C., where interment will be made Friday, May 5. Mrs. Mosley's service will probably terminate with the death of toon Sickles but the family will probably retain Frazier Mosley in its employ.

Popular Booking Agent. Who Brought About Abolishment of "Jim Crow" Policy of House Assumes Management
The Lafayette Theatre, Harlem's largest and most modernly constructed playhouse, located at Seventh avenue and 132d street, has in reality changed hands as the result of the failure of the Lafayette Amusement Company to live up to its contract with regard to the payment of rent. Last Friday, evening the sheriff took possession of the property, which marked the retirement of the Lafayette Amusement Company from the amusement field. C. W. Morgan-sert, the popular booking agent, who is generally looked upon as one of the most practical showmen in New York, has secured control of the Lafayette.
Mr. Morganstern enjoys the distinction of being the only one who has made the Lafayette Theatre a paying proposition since its opening in November, 1912. It was he who induced the Lafayette Amusement Company to abolish the segregation idea which aroused such a storm of indignation among the colored residents, of Harlem. All the help employed at the Lafayette under the new management will be colored from the front, of the home to the stage hands. The attractions offered for the entertainment of the theatrgoers of the Harlem section will be refined and varied.
Under the new law which went into effect May 1 the Lafayette Theatre will be the only house in the section to present vaudeville with motion pictures, as all theatres with small seating accommodations are now permitted to put on motion pictures only. Aside from the best colored and white acts in vaudeville, the latest feature photo plays will be presented by the Lafayette. The following all prevail: Matinees, 5 and 10 cents; evenings, 10, 15 and 25 cents; Extensive preparations are being made to reach the house Sunday, May 10, and a large force of cleaners has been busily engaged all week getting the house in readiness.

MRS. BELLA COLE BURIED;
MANY FRIENDS MOURN
The funeral of, Mrs. Bella Cole, mother of the late Bob Cole, and of the Misses Georgia and Carribel Cole and Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, was held Thursday afternoon, April 30, at 1 o'clock, from the family residence, 102 West 136th street. The Rev. W. S. Holder, pastor of the Harlem Congregational Church, of which Mrs. Cole was an earnest, faithful member, conducted the funeral rites, assisted by the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church, a friend of the family from their first coming to New York, the Rev. Wm. Rev. Lawton, pastor of 'St. James Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Mr. Peters. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, a fitting and worthy tribute by a host of friends, for Mrs. Cole was known for her love of plants and flowers.

ily loses a noble and devoted mother, and hundreds of people, young and old, lose a tender, true and loving friend. Mrs. Cole was loved by all who came in contact with her. The genial, hearty welcome which she gave, to her acquaintances ephemeral, her unang and her death has touched the heartstrings of all who knew her. She was kind and every ready to lend a cheerful, helping hand to any who came, within her reach. Never did she seem to tire of comforting and encouraging those who sought the solace of her motherly friendship.
Mrs. Cole was born in Athens, Ga., and comes from the oldest and best known families of the State of Georgia. After spending in Atlanta for a number of years, she was persevering in her work. New York City is her home. Her family has lived here for seven years, where the daughter all acquired an education and proved a good and proud mother and friend. Death was caused by complications resulting from the understimulation of the caric system brought on by acute indigestion. Mrs. Cole was consoling up to the time of her death.
the deceased leaves go mourn her loss three devoted daughters. Misses Georgia and Carried Cole, Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, all of whom live in New York, two sisters, Mrs. Georgia Jones of Athens, Ga., and Mrs. Hattie Richmond, of Jersey City, and a little granddaughter, Harriet Porter. An article appearing in one of the local papers concerning the estate of Mrs. Cole, was positively unfounded. The will has not been made public, but it is a certainty that the deceased willed her estate to be equally divided among the three surviving children.
SHOULD PATRONIZE
ALL RACE ENTERPRISES
Special to The New York Age
BATIMORE, Md., May 6—in an address before the Forum on "Segregation and Congregation" Sunday night, April 24, the Roy, Dr. K. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, urged that the race make the most of segregation by building up and patronizing Negro enterprises.
He traced the segregation of colored Methodists from the whites a century ago, and declared that as the race had been segregated it had opened its own barber shops, undermaking establishments, etc., but had failed to enter the larger activities, such as the manufacturing of clothing and shoes for the millions of Negroes in this country.
He declared that present-day segregation of the race was prompted by those who would humiliate the Negro, and asserted that this tendency was shown in the establishment of race journals to chronicle those happenings of moment among colored people that the white press failed to notice. He urged that the race press be adequately patronized.

NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM
Six Young Men Form Company to Handle Real Estate, Bonds and Mortgages—Have $10,000 to Lend.
With a record extending back before the days when undertakers knew anything about embalming, but had to pre-
serve bodies with ice. Understaff Geo. 11. Harris, located at 912 Herkimer street, is facultiously known as "The Daddy of Negro Undertakers" in Greater New York. In 1851 Mr Harris became al of with the undertaking establishment of Geo. 11. Cortiss, 702 Fulton street and 107 Hathaway avenue. For eight months he was with this him, and in this game, by close application and study, he became thoroughly familiar with all branches of the work as far as it had been developed. In 1852 Mr Harris left Cortiss and worked for a few months with Thompson, the caterer, at 30 Prince street. This was only a temporary arrangement, however, for early in 1853 he had cards printed and started in the undertaking business at 135 Prince street. His first call was the funeral of Mrs. Nancy Priestly, 34 years old, who lived at 367 Hudson street, and who died February 18, 1853. She was buried April 20. The business was continued at the Prince street location for a year, when it was removed to 64 Fleet place.
For a period of ten years Mr. Harris continued at this number, and his business gradually developed into one of large proportions. He was well equipped for the business, and included among his clients many of the oldest Brooklyn and New York families. He has had charge of the funerals of some of the best known people of the city, having officiated at the funerals of the late Dr. J. H. Gordon, of the Howard Orphanian, Harry L. Kemp of Brooklyn; Geo. Wakeley, a famous team of Williams and Walker, and hosts of others. In 1894 Mr. Harris moved across the street from 64 to 101 Fleet place, he stayed for twenty years, keeping up with every advancement of his profession. He is a student, and welcomes every opportunity to increase his knowledge.
As an embalmer he is in the front rank. Speaking of this feature of his business' Mr. Harris said that many people have no idea of the knowledge required of an embalmer. He must be a skilled anatomist, must have a knowledge of chemistry, and must be familiar with the action of the different fluids upon different bodies. Experience shows that all bodies cannot be given the same treatment. Bodies embalmed by Mr. Harris have been examined a considerable period after interment and found to be in perfect condition. Many of the surviving relatives of persons at whose funerals' Mr. Harris has officiated have written him letters of thanks and commendation for his skill and care in handling funerals. Undertakers in other cities who have received bodies shipped by Mr. Harris have also written letters telling of the excellent condition in which the bodies were received.
Many Letters of Commendation.
In 1903 the body of David Lighthorne was prepared by Mr. Igris and shipped to Nassau, N. P. Bahamas. The executor of the estate wrote Mr. Harris as follows: "The workmanship in regards to the embalming and shipping of the body was most satisfactory, to the bereaved family of the deceased."
From Shelly Bay, Bermuda. he re-
could not have been done better. My family calls with me, in sending you many thanks." W. Edward Platt, of Augusta, Ga., is chairman of the State Board of Embalming and head of the Southern School of Embalming, besides conducting the oldest established undertaking business in that city. He wrote Mr. Harris concerning a body shipped to that city as follows: "Your letter and the body of Charles A. Beal received yesterday. The body was in good condition. I think it a success."
The following letters from brooklyn
families have been received: l. brar-
f. b. brar. arn. held. at. homes.
"Dear Sir, I wish to hear witness to the beautiful way, in which, on May 30, you prepared my darling daughter for burial. The interment took place at Washington on the following Friday. The calm and sweet face looked then even more beautiful than whilst living. You will have to accept my silence as a far greater expression of my gratitude than anything I could possibly clothe in words.
(Signed) "Mrs. Geo. LANDRICK"
"130. Ashland Place."
"My Dear Sir: My brother's remains were as nice when I arrived home (Boydton, Va.) as when they were started from Brooklyn. Everything, even to the flowers, were fresh and all in place. The people are still talking of the fine casket and trimmings, and are astonished to know that such work was the skill of a man of our own race. Father and mother and all of the relatives were highly pleased at the decent manner my brother's remains were brought to the soil of his nativity.
"Dear Mr. Harris: Please accept the since thanks of my mother and myself for your very kind assistance at the funeral of my dear father. I can assure you we both deeply appreciate your thoughtful kindness on the sad occasion. (Signed) "HARRISON J. EDWARDS"
Mr. Harris was born in Brooklyn in 1862, his parents coming originally from North Carolina. His father died when little George was only five years old, and his mother found it necessary to place the child in an orphanage. During this period, which covered eighteen months, six months were spent in the Howard Orphanage. When about seven years old he was taken by his mother to Mobile, Ala, to live, but after six months the mother died. The boy was taken care of by a sister, and a year later was brought back to Brooklyn. He stayed with a cousin and went to school at odd times. He was working all the time, getting jobs wherever and whenever he could until 1881, when, at 19 years of age, he went to work with Corliss and took up what has proved to be, his life work. For 12 years Mr. Harris has made it a rule to supply the orphans at the Howard Orphanage with Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday.
Home Cooking at a Restaurant.
At 788 Fulton street, near Adelphia, Richard W. Boyd is conducting Boyd's restaurant, a spic and span place, where patrons can get the best of home cooking at any hour from 6 a.m., till 12 midnight. Mr. Boyd assists her husband, and their personal attention to every detail of the business guarantees perfect service to their customers. They are sticklers for cleanliness and purity. A regular dinner is served every day between certain hours, and parties, banquets and theatre parties are given special attention. Mr. Boyd has had large experience in the catering business, having for six years run the dining rooms of the large apartment houses; the Florence Court, Underhill Apartments and Sterling Apartments. A little more than a year ago he opened a restaurant at 926 Fulton street, where he remained nine months. Four months ago, the restaurant was opened at its present location, and it is advertised as the only one of its kind on Fulton street. A waitress and dishwasher are employed. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd are the parents of one son, Miller Abbott, six years old.
Arthur Q. Martin, undertaker and embalmer, 178 Duffield street, was the first Negro in Brooklyn to pass the examination under the State Board of Embalmers and secure a license as an embalmer. Mr. Martin took a course of study in the United States School of Embalming, New York City. The board was established in 1904, and only four colored men, the city who have passed the examination. He has business six years and has developed a first-class business. A number of families of the city who in the past have used white undertakers are now giving their patronage to Mr. Marton.
Mr. Martin was born on a farm near Richmond, Va. 39 years ago. He came North 16 years ago, and has been in Brooklyn 10 years. He was married four years ago to Miss Harriet E. Bayne. Mr. Martin is a member of the Order of Moses, Odd Fellows, Fishermen of Galilee, Sons of Virginia and the Church Relief.
Brooks, Newton & Co is the title of a firm of young men who have associated themselves together in the real estate and insurance business. John G. Brooks, 596 Herkimer street, was the pioneer in the movement, as he began in the spring of 1911 to give his attention to the real estate hold, having an office at his home.

ENGLEWOOD HEARS
DR. B. T. WASHINGTON
Englewood, N. J., May 6-On Sunday, May 4, Dr. Booker T. Washington made an address at the Armory on Palisade avenue, to a large audience composed of members of his race and a few noted whites of this town. He was met at the railroad station by a committee composed of the following gentlemen. Messrs Clas, B. Hinton, the Rev. Mr. Wilson, H. Jones, Dr. Willoughby Leslie Cobb and the Boy Scouts, commanded by Ambleman and Clags, and escorted to the home of Walter Pettiford, Armery street.
At 4 p. m. he gave an address at the white Presbyterian Church as the guest of the Rev. Mr Davis, and at 5 p. m. he gave an address to the colored people at the armory. In the address of Dr. Washington he spoke highly of the progress the Negroes were making in Englewood, stating that he was glad to see the Negroes in the northern cities immigrating to small country towns where they could put their feet on the soil of the ground as they had been accustomed to do in the South. He advised them to save their money and buy property so they could gain the respect of the white race, as Negroes in the North were only on trial and by doing good work, they would help all others.
Plantation melodies' were sung by a chorus, and a solo by Miss Sims of New York City. Much credit is given the members of the committee for the way in which they arranged the program for the reception of Dr. Washington.

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT
AT SCHOOL-CLOSING.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACR.
'Utrica INSTITUTE, Miss., May 5.—A large audience of white and colored people more than filled the spacious chapel of the Utrica Normal and Industrial Institute, William H. Holtzlaw, principal, to witness the eleventh commencement exercises of the institute, the leading Negro institution in this section of the country.
Previous to the opening of the meeting the board of trustees held their annual session in the principal's office. There were present Dr. Henry E. Cobb of New York City, chairman of the board; Major R. W. Millsap, president of the Citizens' Savings Bank, Jackson, Miss.; W. J. Ferguson, president of the Bank of Utica; D. C. Simmons, vice-president of the Bank of Utica, with other members of the board.
The exercises consisted of two sessions during the day. The graduates told in a simple way something of the things they had learned since they had been connected with the institution and the value of this knowledge to the various localities—where they expected to locate and from whence they came. They had on the platform various machines and with their own hands demonstrated how to make bricks, cement blocks, how to build houses, make dresses, how to cook a meal, actually cooking one in the presence of the audience and serving it, and so on through all the twenty industries connected with the institution. The platform was an industrial hive of young men and young women with various machines and products which have come from the same. The exercises were closed with two splendid addresses, the first by the Rt. Rev. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans, and the other by Dr. Henry E. Cobb.
The principal's report to the trustees showed that about $30,000 had been raised and expended in the operation of the work for the year.
Eleven years ago, Mr. Holtzclaw and wife, graduates of Tuskegee, came here from Alabama and began this work without a cent, strangers in a strange institution. To the best institution takes first rank among the best Southern schools. It has 500 students and 30 teachers, and with its buildings and 1,700 acres of land is valued at $150,000. It is just completing a new building costing $20,000.

is far lower than was the Negro's fifty years ago, and whose instinct, training and tendency is included to treachery, brigandage, cold-blooded murder and barbaric revolt has nothing in common with the "whites of this section. The "henevolent assimilation" advocated for the Japanese is the result of the densely ignorant son of the Astes. The American Negro has every reason to regard with grave distrust the influx of thousands of Mexican peons into the United State.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR
Not with not iron. But do it, with (Kink no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation. It takes more will straighten the middle kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight not to stay on the day or week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it knink again after it has been straightened. Kink no-more is a wonder bearer. So may only do it if it can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for each straightened hair.
Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound: it is perfectly harmless and will not injure scalp nor hair. But will stop skin irritation. It will also dandruff and stimulate a luxurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remem. nor Leat Kink-no-more is sold under a guaranty money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of, $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from hair. We will send registered letters, capital money order or express money order.

We notice that parts of the two colored cavalry regiments are stationed in border garrisons or doing border service, and that movements of parts of them are made in that direction only, and that their detached colored officers are not called to their regiments. Perhaps it would all be changed if the war should "become some war" and the recruiting stations all over the country would not be shut in the face of colored volunteers stitching to die for their country; but we direct attention to the giarring fact that none of it is so. We may be wronged by the Government, but cannot be forced to concede that the treatment is fair or just.
THE SOUTH IN THE MEXICAN
TROUBLE.
Some fifty years after the war to perpetuate the institution of slavery and to destroy the Union of the States, the sons and granddons of the men who led in that rebellion find themselves in control of all branches of the Government they strove to disrupt. They are unchanged in their opinion that this is a white man's Government; that the free Negro has no more rights as a citizen than he had as a slave, and that that government is best that governs most and not least in the affairs of the people.
In the Spanish-American War Southern men mobilized the way of those of all the other sections in demanding recognition in the army and navy, and President McKinley came to them and President Roosevelt and President Taft allowed there to keep it, the volunteers of them passed out of the army and navy into control of civil states in the Philippines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Cuba, and they are still on the job.
BALLOON DAY AND CARE
As an outcome of the permanent agitation for better railroad service in the Southern States which the colored newspapers have carried on ever since the discriminations and inequalities began, and the recent practical efforts of the Colored Teachers' Association of North Carolina, with Prof. James B. Dudley as president and moving spirit, Dr. Booker T. Washington has suggested that June $A$ be jet apart when meetings will be held all over the country; are the purpose of asking that better service be given colored people by common carriers. We don't believe in constantly asking for what is ours without receiving it, but smiling promises instead; neither does Prof. Dudley. We believe in demanding that the common carriers be compelled to comply with the requirements of the separate car laws, and when they stop smiling and pointedly refuse to do so, to carry the matter to the State authorities having cognizance of it, and, failing redress from them, to the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission, and other supreme power in the Nation until justice is granted. That is what we believe about it and would do about it.
But it is just at this point that the stumbling block gets in its fine work. The proposed action to compel the common carriers to live up to the requirements of the separate car laws is a race question, pure and simple, and there are some ten million people of the race concerid in the matter one way and another. In the matter of the appeal for united effort of the North Carolina Teachers' Association, Prof. Charles H. Moore says in the Greensboro Herald, on the authority of President Dudley, that enough money has not been sent to the committee to pay the cost of printing and distributing the literature necessary in the movement, and that, too, although there are some fifty thousand colored professional people in North Carolina.
We do not say that it will not do good to set apart the days as suggested, and as there is a general disposition to do it, because we believe that the best way to keep alive just rights or abridged is to protest all of the time against denial or abridement, by public meetings, petitions, publications of all sorts and by appeals of the approved sorts to all of the agencies having control and regulation of such denial and abridement; because the way to keep alive anything is not to let it die or allow those who would kill it to imagine at any time that there is any purpose to allow it to do so. That is the chief function of the agitation, which has been the sheet anchor of liberty and the foo of tyranny in all ages. We all know that, even those of us who do not believe in the theory or do not want to do so.
The fact remains, however, and the present case is only a continuation of the old case, that the colored people know very well what they want and should have in the matter of accommodations of the public carriers, but that they are not ready to pay for what they want. They are perfectly willing to receive it, or anything else that is theirs withholden, if they can get it without paying for it, as a matter of charity on the part of the givers who withhold it and who are never disposed to give it when there is any value in keeping it. But the title rights, to manhood and citizenship should be kept alive against the time when there will be a generation of colored people who will be willing to pay for the proper securing of them. It is very high time that the race wake up to the fact that others are tired of doing for them what they should do for themselves.
THE MAN BEHIND THE BUSINESS IDEA.
Sometimes ago Mr. Demonil Lewis suggested in The Ack that it would be a good thing, and the people would appreciate it, if our newspapers would give the people suggestions along business lines of what they need and how they could have what they need and it was our privilege to tell him that The Ack had been engaged in that very business from the beginning of its first issue and still was engaged in it; but here in New York the people have been slower to respond to suggestions of all sorts along business lines than they have been in other sections of the country. This is easily to be sensely any one who travels, especially in the South, where the influence of The Ack has been greatest, in the business ventures and growth so be met with on all sides. Of course others take credit for the good results, but what of it? There are always people standing about ready to grab and appropriate the ideas of others and the good results from their practical application and development.
Take the case of the Republican party, and the men who, from 1860 to 1912 used it for selfish purposes' into existence and that it was created by them for their special advancement and aggrandizement. They had no respect for the anti-liquefaction agitators, from Benjamin Lundy and William Lloyd Gartison to John Brown and his desperate followers at Harper's Ferry, and always regarded them as a sort of crazy lot; but if it had not been for them and their crazy determination that slavery should be abolished there would not have been any Republican party, and if the party leaders had not gradually eliminated the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity they stood for from the inception of the party it would not have been voted out of existence for the time being in the last national elections.
So it is and has been and is patters of business with us. For a long time THE AGE has been having all sorts of business activities to be put in practice in New York and such as are in practice in other parts of the country, but the response has been slow, very slow, on the part of the people whose business it is to make the most of them. Our latest suggestion that a public market in the Harlem District would be a good and profitable investment was "the talk of the town" for a week, and then we have heard no more of it. Perhaps it is sleeping and dreaming over the matter; but we should not be surprised if some practical Jews did not grab the idea soon, as they have grabbed the money-making end of our theatrical and vaudeville business, put a colored dummy in sight, and go ahead with the ideas and make money out of it. The same with the colored bank THE AGE has insisted we need and should have.
What we seem 'most to need in New York City is the man behind the business idea about whom other capable men with means will be ready and willing
Everywhere in those countries they have denied to further colored soldiers and sailors and to other colored people in those countries any consideration different from that they give them in the Southern States; the consideration that the master gives the servant and the servant gives to the master's dog. What colored people have got in those countries they have got, over the protest and with the open hostility of the Southern white men among them, both sorts often being the sons or grandons of white fathers.
As soon as there seemed a possibility that we should have war with Mexico Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who cannot speak of colored people in the Senate debates, except in terms of derision, contempt and vulgarity, sought out President Wilson and desired that he would give his son a chance to fight for the flag as his grandfather had fought against it. It was a proud moment in the life of Senator John Sharp Williams. The President promised; although, if young Williams really wanted to get into the fight he could have done to by enlisting as a private in the army or navy. But that is not what Southern bigwigs want. They love the flag and an appropriation and insist upon getting more of the appropriation than they are deriving of now, as they forcibly demanded and not it under the law. The Republican Presidents, who are better than Southern Democrats thought were. It is hard to think better than the first of Son and Jim, and when they are around, we are colored with our own means. Royal to our country.
Nimrod, it is said, was a great hunter before the Lord, but there is much hair-splitting among the theologians, as to what the statement may mean, some contending that Nimrod was a great hunter long before the times of the Lord, who appeared on the scene some seventy years after Adam left the Garden of Eden with Eve and the serpent, or whether he was actually a great hunter in front of the Lord, in the times of the Lord, who sat around and did nothing that look on and be amused, while Nimrod went about hunting for creatures to slaughter who were not going about looking for Nimrod to find and slaughter him. There are so many ways of reading and understanding any given statement that everybody is left free to adopt his own interpretation of it. Perhaps it was ingested to be that way, in order to stimulate the stupid intellectuals of mankind.
Whatever be the real meaning of the statement, the fact remains that hunters in all ages since, if not before Nimrod have had troubles other people do not have, because he who goes a hunting for things not hunting him will find himself hunted in turn sooner or later. And this is just as true in the case of men as of animals and fowls and fish, great and small.
be drowned, or all white blood to be daughtered to be collected, a bloody matter pursued in a bloody way, not to satisfy hunger or to make profit or to supply any demand, but simply to satisfy the bloodlust to collect something after hunting for it—something that has as much pleasure, joy and right in living, in life, as the bloodlust hunter has, no more and no less.
We are not sorry for Col. Roosevelt, but he should be sorry for himself, and would be if he understood himself, because he represents his nation, which is fast becoming a race of salesmen, who want to buy as cheap as they can and to sell as high as they can, to get the most for the least, and the morality of it be harged; a rate which considers that might make right, that weakness in anything is a crime and strength a virtue, and that blood is just as cheap and inconsequential as water if selfishness requires the spilling of it. When nations have reached that point they have become low and sordid and bloody indeed.

The stockholders of the Johnson Manufacturing Co., Boston, Mass., met in annual session recently and listened to a very interesting and encouraging speech by the President, W. Ackman Johnson of a successful business year. A dividend of 6 per cent, was paid to stockholders of record and a good balance placed on them, which manufactures a line of remedies for the hair, scalp and face which are sold in every part of this country.
There has not appeared to be any burning war fever among colored people on account of the Mexican situation. The Government has never been able to deal with the war in times, and they are beginning to realize that fact. "It may not be that way always, but it is that way now. What the Negro and Jew want to have to fight with, with the rest of mankind largely against them, and they are beginning to realize that fact also.
Arbitration in the settlement of disputes between Nations has accomplished a great deal, but it has a great kind of causes to recount it as necessary to show each other as nations in order to settle their disputes. During the past fourteen years, we have heard of the four quarters of the globe, including Asia, Africa, Europe, and America, "The armed truce" of the world is easily broken, and in private and business life, it should not be so but it is so.
Frederick Harles of the Maryland National Junifl, who served eight years in the Coast Artillery, stationed along the Mexican border, insists that Gen. Taishu Villa is a Negro and was a slave for fifteen years ago. Harris says: "Willa was born in Maryland and is a Negro. Every soldier on the border knew this. He is what we call a 'dietes' in that society. We were soldiered and was a good one and was brave under fire." Well, if it is true, and it may be, what are you going to do about it? We are going to educate and present Mexican troops, and may yet be the director of Mexico.
OUR GREATEST CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY.
(The Wisconsin State Journal.)
We have a habit of measuring men by material standards. We judge a man great by his possessions rather than by his appearance, which he has mastered than by the things he does. It is a comparatively small thing, by our modern standards, to do a great work for happiness, but it is a great work for a railroad, a cool mine, a rolling hill or a field of off-rails. We honor the man who requires ties to a virgin forest and quickly mades the barn and constructive work which he did. Let a musician automobile success that he conceived to dickle part of the "swamp" with his abrasion more of the materials he built for far and wide, and properly so, as a great engineer.

THE BLACK MAN'S WASHINGTON.
(From Los Angeles Tribune.)
Los Angeles has just been visited by a man who is easily one of the leading men of the nation, measured by his intellectual and moral vitality and intelligence. Booker T. Washington has enlisted, mind, body and heart, in the work of helping the men and women of his own race to help themselves. He practiced power, a speaker who tears off pieces of good common sense and sound philosophy in solid chunks and hands them to his people. They are impressed and cured by reason. His force of character, utterance and deep, devoted-human sympathy. Washington's style on the lecture platform is very much like that of Theodore Kobesovsky. He throws into the air a sword, a clean-cut fox that leaves no avenue of escape. His wit is irresistible. He commands your respect from start to finish. Under of a rice tells his colored brothers to live close to the ground, open a savings account; choose a home for life and by staying there command respect through character and skill and intelligence. Booker T. Washington is a Moses unto his people and one of the virile men of the republic.
WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
The above conditions are local, and the cause of their existence is found in local conditions, organized or unorganized, or more or less disposable because they are tangible in time and place while general conferences, synods and 'associations' are organized by local organizations, and must be of the same quality as the local organizations. All movements are initiated with a home or other organization, these creations for moment, thus giving a change, for evasion of responsibility. The quality of the creation will be the same as the quality of the creation of a gift, congress out of free-trades.
The ideal church, therefore, deals with these local questions, and is responsible for them. The local church sells books, sells slavery, and then sent them on to congras and to the general conference. In our case the local church is not done here but is holding her own local conference to defend her against many cases is a party to them. She is not doing for as what the Human Society is doing for the double animals. The church is not doing for an ox or dog, and then carry off burning flesh, flesh and bones as souvenirs. All the forces of government would be called out to prevent it. No one would be called out to prevent the treatment of a host, while many of them have frequently been parties to such cruelties to our people. Frederick Trucks, osseurry, xanurry, Toussaint Wren, who is among their ambassadors, and the churches of these hostiles sold nothing. The church has done and is yet determined to do so in common with what she is doing for others, while our case is a special one and we specialize in them. The church meets the special treatment follows.
to their senses. Gor brought it to the point where brothers must shoot one another with sticks, as already already. We invite the students to play with the man with Mr. Ruddock and then write on the subject. We get so very tired of our white, true friends defending their institutions that treat us wrong that we are compelled to speak to them. SLYVESTER H. NORWOOD, Baltimore, Md.
In-the professions, trades, business enterprises our efficiency is being visual constants, and it is a paradox that our efficiency is tributing least to these successes in support, are most blunt in heralding them, with a glory enough for all expression regardless of who earned it. The relative patronage of graffry grabbers. The relative patronage value of our people to the Negro merchant or professional man, declines as it leaves the middle class, going up in the lower class, to the lower type. Hence, I submit, that the higher the social status, educational and financial standing, of Negro groups the smaller groups the proportionate those who patronize the Negro business, and the more negative those in our development. The "leading," "obliterated," "well-tried," Negroes who know eloquence with socially who get satirical drink more than with socially who get satirical drink more than if not inviolently, are the least help to us in business.

Dialogality, division, discussion are questionable. He has institutionalized, bound to him with the child of heredity. Eugenance offers the only hope that he will ever be otherwise. Let the Harlem philosopher, and The Ago too, hope. G. H. WILKERSON. Demojiola, Ala. A Negre's Business Experience To the Editor of The Ago:
To the, Editor of the Age:
To write or talk on the subject of Negro business stagnation one should have a long line. I have had some first hand experience as a buyer and seller or customer and proprietor, and have found much business Negro and white will take up picture from one of my friends who started and failed. He opened a grocery store, well stocked, and did fairly well business Negro and white to a better location and began to buy his store and dwelling combined. This was his finish. When his friends or customers could not find any fault with his prices, they got away from him, and quently he went out of business. This very same man was a cleanclit citizen, could not find any fault with his prices, and butler, yet his own brothers in church and lodges failed to do their duty and he failed. Just like he failed in business, he failed in no fault of their own. Thousands of others have failed because they did not know business principles. Take the example of a business because it's because they have one of the best business principles, a way of making a sale. They will thank you just as much as a penny as they will for a car and as much as you a kind look and smile with it.

You are asking all that is noble and pure, think beautiful ideas, think delicate lofty ideas, think pure habits and admire others in others. Every girl must remember that she will be the only one to pay for all she gets and does not earn honestly, and awful will be the price. If you want to make a success of your work you must impress to that woman girl it impossible to be a society girl it might and a competetr trustworthy working girl in the day. You can't expect to, engage in, the frivolous things of this life, spend your dollars for so-called pleasure, no night, after night to dinner and dinner, no night to save your money too, and, demand other wages with a worn out sleepy body.
Start a bank account no matter how small, the money you feel like throwing to the wind spend in the home to help bear the expenses; live always within your means. No matter if you do have to spend your money at home, you should do your money do in your to do other wise. Take advantage of the "Night Schoolis." Your evenings could not be spent to a better advantage than preparing yourself for future usefulness. By asking a special branch of work you may be able to walk out of your present position and be able to work for a better and higher wages. To the girl who knows she has used her time and means to the best possible good comes a feeling of pleasure that the dishonest, frivolous girl can never know.
I know it takes strong will power, good religion and faith to overcome but buckle down to it and grit your teeth and keep on going on.²
He careful of your dress at business. Too much of your dress, curls and ear ribbons off encourague images. Press plainly but neatly.
Work is good for every one and especially good for girls. Going to business is an education in itself and coming in contact with people every day makes you broadminded and sympathetic. Always be respectful to your employer. Never leave your position until you are sure of another. The girl who works with a, will whether her employer is round or wry is sure of success. But the girl who whiles away from her employer and watches when her employer is not around suddenly gets busy when he shows up need never expect a raise in salary or success in anything.
Always keep in mind while at work the principles instilled in you by your good mother and ever hold your homo as the dearest, sweetest place on earth and after working hours see that your steps are toward some where loved ones are anxiously awaiting you. Whatever work you are engaged in do it well, with it will, never shirk and success is yours.

TUSKEGEE PRODUCTS COMPANY
A PRIVATE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA
Straightford, Mass.—One of the most noteworthy events which has occurred in the local industrial field recently was the replacement of the colored waiters at the Hotel Worthy. About sixteen months ago the Worthy Hotel, which is not only one of the city's best hotels but ranks as one of the leading hotels of Western New England, went into the hands of a different management, who immediately turned, off all of the colored waiters and bellmen, numbering in all some forty or more, and entailing a good deal of discomfort to these men, especially those with families to support. This new management continued in the hands of William Kimball up to about two months ago, when the company went into bankruptcy, thus reverting the lease to Mr. Frank Worthy, the former proprietor and friendly champion and advocate of colored employees. As soon as the former management could adjust things the colored waiters were taken on and the whites allowed to go. As this writing there is a force of about twenty-one men, about a dozen of these being former waiters who were discharged over a year ago. This replacement of colored help is due to the splendidly good service these men rendered for eighteen or more years previous to their discharge, and the consequent demand of the general public for their service. The head waiter is Robert A. Bryant; captains of watches, Joseph Mishaux and Charles Brown, Sidney M. Johnson is secretary to the head waiter. The colored bellman have not been reinstated as yet.

HOPE DAY NURSERY BENEFIT
THEATRICAL COMMENT.
AIDA OVERTON WALKER, the race's premier dancer, is giving evidences of her skill as an exponent of the modern dances at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre this week, and she is one of the big hits of a big bill. Miss Walker is being ably assisted by Jay Grant. The members of the gentler sex are certainly coming into their own since the dance craze struck. New York, and
Oxerton
with one or two notable exceptions are more in the public's eyes than the male dancers. It is strikingly noticeable that the men are assisting the women; for instance, Joan Sawyer is being assisted by John Jarrott.
Miss Walker and her partner do themselves proud in their terpsichorean exhibition and are heartily applauded at each performance.
At last J. Leubrie Hill is going to appear on Broadway! This week arrangements were made whereby the Darktown, Follies are to open on the Victoria roof June 1. The company will be composed of fifty colored comedians, singers and dancers, and will give a presentation of "My Friend from Kentucky" in tabloid form, to last forty-five minutes.
Many are of the opinion that the engagement of the Darktown Follies at the Victoria Theatre will bring about more helpful conditions for the colored performer, and that a greater demand will be created for colored attractions such as existed a few years ago. With such songs as "After the Ball" and "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love," with the numbers effectively staged as only J. Leubrie Hill can, and with the injection of snap and ginger in the tahloid version of "My Friend from Kentucky," there is no reason why the Darktown Follies should not register a real hit on Broadway.
Some few weeks ago the public was given an opportunity to see what Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle knew about society dances at the entertainment of the Tempo Club, but it was not until Friday evening. May I, that knowledge was gained of what members of the race knew of the modern dances. So nearly two thousand interested ones hied themselves to the New Star Casino to witness the cabaret performance for the benefit of the Hope Day Nursery.
Chief interest centered on terpsichorean exhibitions, and all the dancers came in for their share of applause—Marie Thomas and Frank Thomds, in the hesitation waltz, and Lulah Rose Patterson and T. Henry Karney in the one-step, being particularly favored in this respect. Then there were Henry Creamer and Lillian Williams, who rightly belong in the professional ranks of dancers and who could afford pleasing entertainment on the stage at any time.
The complete program follows:
Miss Maitie Harris in Cabaret Songs—"Kid Caharet," The Sunny Rosehous Club Member Rose Shapiro, Sibylle Mace, Mace Kolkhton, Rose Shapiro, Edna Mace-Williams, Sadie London, Genevieve Williams, Frieda Shapiro, May Hulnich, Medley Chorus.

AIRDOME IN CINCINNATI.
AIRDOME IN CINCINNATI.
Theatrical patrons in Cincinnati are interested observers of the fight, being waged by the Dixie Land Park, an airdrome recently erected at 5th and John street, and the Lincoln Theatre, a $50,000 house catering to the Negro theatregoers. Heretofore the Lincoln Theatre has only had the opposition of the little house on the corner of 5th and Smith streets, the Pekin Theatre, whose thrifty Negro owner, Clay Smith, the pioneer-showman of Cincinnati, met the onslaught with courage, successfully giving a good show to packed houses, netting a profitable income.
Now that the airdome is drawing the Lincoln's attention Smith can watch the fight with a smile as his house continues to pull a crowd. The airdome opened Saturday night, in spite of all hindrances, with the Paul Burton Stock Co. producing Johnny Hill's "My Friend front Dixie," with twenty people; among those showing to advantage were Cora Thornton, Carrie Johnson, Byrd & Byed, Idaho Trio, Lily Thornton, Ike Paul, Earl Burton.
Mr. Thurston, the promoter of this house, showed speed in building and opening this house. If he continues to put on good shows he will get the support of the people.
LEROY'S HANDICAP DINNER.
The beefsteak dinner given by the Leroy's Colored Performers Social League at Leroy's Cafe, 2220 Fifth avenue, Thursday evening. April 30, was one of the best arranged and most successful affairs of the season.
It was largely attended, all the members being present, with a number of invited guests. The dinner was skillfully prepared and served with care. The arrangements were perfect and not a complaint was heard. The musical program was one of the greatest and all of the artists were
in form and eager and ready on a minute's notice. Those participating were Miss Lottie Dempsey, Miss Duckey Taylor, Miss Jassie Hitte, Miss Helen Taylor, Miss Laura Turner, Miss Mary Stafford, Miss Mamie Hendreks. The girls ran so close that the judges were unable to separate them and adjudged a "dead heat." It is rumored that the other girls who had entered the handicap found themselves overweighted. Among those entered but who did not run, were Miss Virginia Johnson, Miss Mattie Harris, Miss Josephine Stephens, Miss Corinne Harris, and others. James Stevens of Cook & Stevens was master of ceremonies and performed his duties in an admirable manner.
THE MAXIXE
Have, you ever wanted to say "Maxixe" but refrained on account of being afraid that you might go wrong as to the pronunciation? Well, for the benefit of those who are going to the Modern Dance Carnival at Manhattan Casino on May 28, here is the real simon pure pronunciation of "Maxixe," according to a letter printed in The Sun, April 29.
"The Pronunciation of 'Maxixe.'"—To the editor of the Suh;—Sir: By courtesy of the secretary of the Brazilian Embassy at Washington, D. C., to state the word "maxixe" designating a Brazilian dance, is pronounced as if it were spelled "mimishhe," "a" as in "art," "i" as in "machine," and "e" as in "over."—(Signed) Dr. Syntax.
According to this the word is spoken "Ma-shee-sha". But whatever the pronunciation it is certainly a wonderful dance. The Maxiike is distinctly Brazilian, the Tango is distinctly Argentine, and Mr. Lorraine claims that aside from demonstrating how both of these should be executed according to European style he will also unfold another dance that is distinctly European. Mr. Creamer says he is in position to know and demonstrate how the Maxiike and the Tango are danced in the countries from which they originated and that along with this he is going to show for the first time anew dance which is distinctly characteristig of the American Negro. Creamer has originated many new and beautiful dances for the stage and is capable of originating and producing a 'dance that will be to this country what the Tango is to Argentine and the Maxiike to Brazil.

SYKES HARD LINCOLN TO 2 HITS.
Howard's held-hitting youngsters celebrated their first regular game of the season by defeating the Lincoln University baseball team by the one-sided score of 10 to 0 on Harvard campus. Though the score does not indicate it, the game was interesting and well played throughout.
Lincoln has a good ball team, but it was simply a case of too much Sykes. Only thirty men faced Sykes during the entire nine innings, and the first eighteen men to face him were turned back in one-two-three order. He allowed but two widely scattered hits, and one of these was of the scratch variety. Thomas, the Lincoln pitcher, was touched up for thirteen healthy swats. Of Howard's thirteen hits Johnson, the shortstop, got three, as did Sykes.
The features of the game for Howard were Sykes' pitching, Wiley's penging, Avery's sensational fielding and Capt. Brice's perfect throw from deep center to the plate. When Wiley received Brice's throw and tagged Young as he slid home Lincoln's only opportunity to score during the game was lost.
Young, who played left field for Lincoln, did excellent work, accepting in faultless style three chances, two of which were very difficult. In the sixth inning Floward lost an opportunity to score when Avery was called out at third base because Wiley in coaching touched him. The score:

TUSKEGEE-M. B C. BREAK EVEN.
Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25, two of the best baseball games the season has produced were played between the Tuskegee Tigers and the Morris Brown Giants at Tuskegee.
On Friday the batteries were Sampson and Peek for Tuskegee and "Cyclone Williams" and Addison for Morris Brown. The features of the game were the hard batting of the Tigers and the excellent work of their pitcher, Sampson. Captain Peek won fame in this, his first time behind the bat. He is a third-sacker, but he believed he could exercise greater generalship behind the bat. Three of the visitors tried for second, but they fell victims to his mighty wing. The game was called at the end of the eighth inning on account of darkness. The score was 7 to 5 in favor of Tuskegee.
The batteries on Saturday were-Henten and Peek for Tuskegee, and Wiley and Addison for Morris Brown. The Giants had a lead of 6 to 0 when in the fifth inning the Tigers scored six runs. In the eighth inning both teams scored two runs. In the eleventh inning Morris Brown won by a score of 9 to 8. Both games were largely attended by the teachers and students, and many of the white citizens of Tuskegee.
LIVINGSTONE; BEAT8 8HAW
In two one-sided but interesting games at Salisbury, Livingstone College defeated Shaw University baseball tam here last Friday and Saturday, May 1, and 2, by the scores of 19 to 4 and 12 to 4. The results were a surprise to the followers of both teams as Shaw had previously defeated Livingstone 16 to 4. A complete reversal of form marked the work of Livingstone, and the Shaw pitchers were hammered to all corners of the field. The victors have won seven straight games and in the last four have made a record perhaps unequalled in college baseball, having scored the amazing total of 70 runs on such opponents as Shaw and A. and M.
Princeton Y. M. C. A. Vt. Bordentown. The first home game, of the Princeton Y. M. C. A. Vt. Bordentown Institute team Saturday. May 2. Princeton won. The final score being 10-6.
Although some errors were made,
and it was rather a loosely played
game, both teams made a good show-

In the Round Robin Billiard Tournament conducted during the past two weeks at the Franklin Billiard Academy, corner 132d street and Lenox avenue, upstairs, the first place in the Class B games was won by Charles Beauban, and the championship of Class C was won by George B. Williams. Contestants in Class B were Edward Gibson, Oscar Rich, William I. Willig, Frank Franislow, Charles Beauban and Chester Jones. Mr. Beauban's victory was in the nature of a surprise, as he was not looked upon as a possible winner. He executed some difficult shots, having a high run of 25.

St. David'a.
On last Sunday the services morning and evening were largely attended. The rector, the Rev. E. G. Clifton, preached on both occasions and was the celebrant at the Holy Communion and the Mass service. The rector made reference to the presbyter that had been made toward ten plans for completing the church and stated that the architects hoped to complete at an early date the drawings of the new edifice. He requested the members to continue their efforts toward securing the needed funds. He also gave notice of the donations from several other sources. The immediate future of the work at St. David's is bright with the prospects of greater means for usefulness and efficiency in this swiftly growing neighborhood. St. David's plans to be ready to meet the enlarged demands for spiritual oversight of the increased population for the Bronx.

St. James Presbyterian Church
Attendance at the Baychester Church. Attendance at the evening services was unusually large and the services most inspiring. There were many visitors present. Dr. Lawton carried his congregation with him in his eloquent discussion on "The need for Christian Leadership." He said: "The need for Jesus is not the place for the brakenman, but the avil the place for the shoemaker. The principle of fitness and adaptation is an exacting demand and one must make good or discontinue service. Lack Christian fitness and efficiency on the ground is stumbling blocks to many a church, of them are not fitted by nature nor grace for the office they hold. For lack of faith of the majority of the rulers of the tribes, God disinherited all who were of Egypt at the age of 21, and sold them to the Israel wilderness. Seven persons were added to the church at the conclusion of the service. Dr J. C. Walker of Greenshore, N. Dr. J. C.
