CHARGE PASTOR WITH
DALLE STATEMENTS
FALSE STATEMENTS
J. B. Pinkney, 564 Lenax avenue,
has addressed a letter to THE AGE in
which he replies to the charge made
by the Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor of
Bethel A. M. E. Church, in a letter to
Bishop Tyree, that Pinkney had been
dropped from leadership-of-a class in
that church for failure to perform certain
duties.
Pinkney denominates the charge as absolutely false and makes a counter charge that during his pastorate Pastor Arnett has never visited the class, either in person or by a representative. Pinkney charges further that the pastor dislikes him because of a failure to support an effort of the pastor to add to the church debt. The letter is as follows:
To the Editor of The Age:
Without wishing to trespass upon your valuable space, permit me to reply to the article published in your paper July 23, quoting a letter written to Bishop Evand Tree by the Rev. H. B. He stated in his letter to the lishop that he had dropped but one officer, and that officer is your humble servant. J. B. Pinckney leader of the pastor's class, and gave his reason for dropping me the following cause: That he does not financial report in fourteen weeks.
This statement is absolutely false. This class, although small in number, holds its own. If the records of the stewards and trustees department is kept, I fail to see how the reverend gentleman could make such a statement. If I know where the class has always made a creditable shopping. It would be unjust on my part to the loyal members of the class to allow an article of this nature to go unnoticed.
I am not questioning his right to drop any officer, but I do question the record of thirty years, the record of long standing in the church, upward of thirty years, entitle me to better treatment. I have served the church in an official capacity under the following ministers: The Revs. Jno. M. Henderson, W. D. Cook, T. W. Henderson and R. C. Pansson, and have held in the stewards these gentlemen as to my Christian integrity.
I am forced to make this charge against the pastor; since he has been here he has never visited the class or assigned a member to it, or at any time asked how the class was prospering. He has a dislike toward me for the sand to do the proposed job of his to saddle on the people an additional expense of over three thousand dollars.

ALABAMA PROGRESSIVE WANTS NO LILY WHITISM
Refuses to Countenance Action of Committee Giving Negroes No Show
National Committeeman Thompson Demands that the National Committee Define its Position on the Negro Question before August 5.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 28—J. O. Thompson, National Committeeman of the Progressive Party in the State of Alabama, has repudiated—the first call issued during his absence from the State by the State Progressive Party. In a recent letter to George W. Perkins of New York, chairman of the National Progressive Party, Mr. Thompson writes:
: "Dear Mr. Perkins;
I was astounded and humiliated at the action of the Progressive committee in this state selected by our state committee to issue a call for our state convention to see that they had provided in the official call the names of the members of the party in Alabama. This is a step further in that direction than any democratic committee or body has ever done in the South that I can recall. I have an entirely different view of the objects and purposes of the Progressive Amendment that expressed by our special committee in Chicago throughout the organization of the party and I did not catch one word that to me meant, or what in anywise could be interpreted to mean, that we would undertake my party action volens volens to annul the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. I know how anxious we are all to overcome certain prejudices and to build a party in the South that will be for the use of the people in giving expression to Progressive policies, just as we did in helping the people of the Third Alabama Justice to achieve justice in overcoming machine government, but when it comes to doing a mean thing for political expediency, I am against such action.
A Live Political Question.
The Negro political question is one we cannot throw off at will. In fact it will be a live question for many years, yet many decades of history, but it is a question that all strong men must meet with fairness and integrity to all consent. It was silky for the special committee to have taken the option they did, but the question they would have been few colored men elected to the convention. They as a rule are not in sympathy with us as a party, although many individuals among them are enthusiastic candidates. Incumbent on the white men to (Continued on page 2)

TO ESTABLISH SCHOOLS
IN REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA
IN REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA
The Republic of Liberig, through Dr. J. M. Reed, president of the Caroline Donovan Normal and Industrial Institute, Monrovia, Liberia, its seeking to put its educational work upon a solid foundation by raising in this country $150,000 to be added as a permanent asset to the sum secured under the will of the late Caroline Donovan of Baltimore for the maintenance of public schools in Liberia. The sum of $65,111.11 has been turned over to the Republic by the trustees of the Donovan estate and the Libarian government has enacted the necessary laws for the establishment of the school.
Dr. Reed, that an accurate understanding may be had of the scope of the work in Liberia and what he hopes to accomplish toward its perpetuation during his stay in this country, has prepared the following article:
The late Caroline Donovan of the State of Maryland, city of Baltimore, being possessed of certain real estate, exeunted from Colonization Society, Washington, D.C., giving said property in trust to the society for the transportation annually to the Republic of Liberia on the West Coast of Africa of such colored persons as might desire to emigrate to the United States of America. The will and testament further provides that should the transportation of such persons for any one year not require the net income from the said property for that year, such balance remaining should be applied to the set of public schools for the education of colored children in Liberia.
Liberia Received $65,511.11.
During the years intervening from the execution of this deed of trust to the year 1911, the accrued balances remaining amounted to the sum of $65,511-11, held in trust by the American Colonization Society for the purpose as above mentioned, was appraised of this fact by the proper official head of the Society, and certain legal documents had to be executed on part of the Libgrian Government in order to procure the said amount herein mentioned. Through the active efforts of E. B. Eckert, the Libgrian and now consular general for Liberia in the United States with headquarters at Baltimore, Md., the above sum was duly turned over to him as the legal representative of the Society. The amount thus procured was deposited in bank in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Department of Education of the Republic under a regularly organized Board of Education.
The facts concerning the acquisition and acceptance of the fund on part of the Republic were made known by President Howard in his annual message to the National Legislature in the month of January of the presque twelfth. The question was posed in the question of the representatives of the Government and the Department of Education as to what would be the proper course to pursue in the expenditure of the accumulated fund for public education in kibrion. Upon the recommendation of His Excellency the President, in his annual message, an Act of Incorporation by the National Legislature, for the establishment of The Carolina Donovan Normal and Industrial Institute, with the entire fund made available for educational purposes as herein set forth. This was conceded by all to it the wisest course to pursue in that it would centralize the fund and furthermore show a marked growth in the amount of this fund and to the worthy benefactors through whose benefice the (Canuelso on Page 2)

RADICAL CHANGE IN LAW OF ORDER
Proposal by which Real Government Is Given to England's Odd Fellows
Proposition Comes from Hutchinson Lodge of Chicago of which Grand Master Morris Is a Member.
DETERMINED OPPOSITION
Charge Is Made that Printing of Special Circular Was Delayed to Prevent General Distribution of Proposed New Law until Too Late for Concerted Action Against It.
CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 28.—Negro Odd Fellows all over, the country are up in arms against what they denominate the most, revolutionary proposition ever, submitted with a view of enactment into law by the B. M. C. The Special Circular containing the propositions from various lodges to be voted on at the Boston B. M. C. contains one submitted by Hutchinson Lodge of Chicago, the lodge to which Grand Master Morris belongs, which provides that appeals in cases against any member of the S. C. M. or against any District Grand Lodge officer in any state, must be made and argued, tried and adjudicated, in England. Many Odd Fellows are saying that Grand Master Morris recently returned from a trip to England at the expense of the Order, and that he is behind this proposition which would take the government of the Order in America out of the hands of the Negro and put it into the hands of the English white men. 3,000 miles away across the sea. The result of the adoption of this proposition would be to surrender the final control of American Odd Fellows to England.
Charge Made of Sharp Practice
Attention is called, in this connection to the fact, that Hutchinson Lodge fathered the proposition which created the Supreme Court of the Order. Sharp practice is charged in the matter, also, because the Special Circular was delayed in publication so that general distribution was impossible prior to the recent meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management at Philadelphia. The statement is openly made that this was a trick by which it was hoped to sneak up on the brothers and catch them napping.
A prominent member of the fraternity, seepaking of the proposed legislation, said "Strange things come from men who wish to rule forever. The proud boast of every race losing Negro, Odi Fellow is to be offered up on the altar of ambition for office and greed of power forever. In a nutshell the real government of this Order, which is the pride of the Negro race in America, is to be cowardly surrendered to the Order, in England. This Order is the Negro's best host of his ability to govern himself, and this sacred heritage of the race is sought by Hutchinson Lodge to be sacrificed. The Negro by it is to confess his inability to control his fraternal affairs, and is to turn, over to the white man in England to control for him."
The proposition will meet with determined opposition at Boston, and it is said in various quarters that the effort is looked upon as an attempt on part of Grand Master. Merris to further lengthen his tenure of office.

A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers.
It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers.
Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman."

UNRELIABLE AGENTS who do not pay their bills and who should not be given credit by newpapers, or any one else: J. M. Harkless, Beeville, Texas; A. M. Harkless, Beeville, Texas; A. Conerly, Patterson, La.; Henry Stone, Terre Haute, Ind.
We warn the public against them:
THE BISHOPS AND THEIR WORK.
Saint Paul has sufficiently defined the character a Bishop should have and the sort of work he should do; and it was not intended that there should be any radical change in either with the changes of times and manners, with the coming and going of the years. As the chief servants of the Church and therefore, of the membership, bishops should be first always in good works and as examples without faults, that those who believe in them and trust them and follow them might always have confidence and pride in their high station and good works.
In the July number of the A. M. E. Church Review, Editor Ransom discusses with much ransom of earnestness the important question of "The. Negro Bishops and Their Opportunity for Race Leadership." He says:
"Our bishops meet in council semiannually; they pass upon matters that relate in the general church. But they are no more restrained from considering the interests of their people that lie beyond their ecclesiastical boundary line than Dr. Washington from dealing with the interests of his people that lie outside the surveyor's chart of Tuskegee Institute.
"Our bishops are independent and unhampered in any position of leadership or council they may assume. They have a life tenure of office; they do not depend upon public charity or political favor, nor yet upon the aid of private philanthropists. They assist cause they represent. They are therefore doubly fortified to assume the role of counsellors and guides to their people."
But Dr. Washington never gets outside "the surveyor's chart of Tuskegee Institute." All his roads lead to and from Tuskegee Institute; all his activities do the same thing. He never gets out of speaking distance with Tuskegee Institute. He has succeeded in his work because of this singleness of purpose, this concentration of energies, this oneness of interests. It is the only way the great men of all ages have succeeded, have drawn all merit to them and made them serve them and the interests dearest to them. Richard Allen and Richard Varick were men of that sort; if they had not been we should not have the great Bethel and Zion Church connections as race institutions that we are proud of. Our bishops have had the greatest successes and enjoyed the highest reputation who have, like Bishops Allen and Varick, Bishop Daniel Alexander Dayne and John 4. Clinton, and Bishops J. W. Hood and Benjamin Tucker Tanner, who have stuck closest to the work of their high office and expended their concentrated energies in the work of their denominations.
Dr. Ransom mentions among the subjects our bishops could busy themselves with, "The Conservation of the health of their people," "Improving the free public schools," and "Guarding against the industrial exploitation of the race." This is legitimate and good work for the minister in every community, and the bishop is the head, the leader, of the minister. Dr. Ransom is making The Re-
THE LYNCHING OF A WOMAN.
South Carolina has so many crimes against the life and property and the liberty and morals of its black and colored citizens to answer for, as to the State as well as to individual offenders, that its few Christian members may well tremble, as Daniel Webster did, when they "remember that God is just," and that "who sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." Why? "For in the image of God made He man." There is no appeal from this law because God, and not the Lord, said it to Noah and his four sons (Genesis ix, 6) after the Flood, and has never revoked it, so that it is binding upon all Christians as individuals, who have as well made it themselves the statute law of their states and nations.
If it be an unpardonable crime in the individual, which the State can in no wise forgive or condone, to take the life of another individual, a man person, what shall become of a lot of men who take the law into their hands, as a mob, and lynch a woman, and of the State that makes no honest effort to hunt down the culprits and punish them! They believe their own law of the State as well as the law of the spirit, which they profess to believe and accept and become responsible to, when they allow murderers to go, unwhipped of justice, by the legal processes made and provided by themselves for such causes.
It is not a small thing to lynch a woman; and, yet, it is a common occurrence in the Southern States. The women are invariably black and colored persons, who have no voice in making and enforcing the laws of the State, and who are therefore strangers in the land, marked as to their color, whom the lords of the land outrage in their rights of person and property at the peril of their own. The whole nation has departed very far, since 1865, from the letter and spirit of the statute and Biblical law, and has suffered enormously for doing so, and is now suffering, and will continue to suffer.
But they go further in the Southern States than the lynching and mobbing of black and colored persons; they gag freedom of speech, so that honest people are afraid to speak or write about the crimes of the mob and the State, for the two become partners in quiet. And does the nation escape, whose rulers in high places and preachers in the pulpits and teachers in the tall towers, the editorial dictators of public opinion and censors of private morals, apologize for mob law and give elaborate excuses of one sort and another for the suspension of the legal processes of the law when 'black brutes' and not white ones, are the offenders?. They think so, but get confusion for doing so, and do not recognize the meaning of the confusion when they, get it. And there is the misfortune of it, that they are blinded to the truth, as they were, before and after the great Civil War passed over the institution of slavery and crushed the life out of it!
Very recently "a colored woman, at Ellorce," in South Carolina, was charged with murdering a white child. In a fair trial the woman, if guilty, could have had no chance to escape the legal punishment that the people of the State have provided to cover all such crimes, and that the State only has the right to inflict upon one of its citizens. But a mob of white men took the law into their own hands and lynched the woman! There was no trial and conviction; only accession with no judge and jury and witnesses, and no legal record of the accusation and murder. The law of the savage dominant in a Christian State and applied by a lot of persons in a savage manner, who profess to be Christians!
"It is said in the newspaper reports that some thirty Negro men "were present at the lynching and approved it." No! they were not men; they were beast brutes, like the white men who did the lynching—cowards all! Like the State of South Carolina, of which they are citizens, who delight to honor such creature as, Cole Blease to rule them as Governor and Benjamin R. Tillman to represent and speak for them in the Federal Congress!
The editor of the Journal and Carolina Spartan, published at Spartanburg, went so far as to ask Rev. Richard Carroll, of the Columbia Plowman, a colored man of much distinction in his State, what he thought of the lynching of the colored woman and the presence at it of the thirty colored things. He said:
"What do I think of the lynching of a colored woman at Elloree last Sunday? What I say will do no good, but as you asked me to express my opinion, I will do it. My opinion on crime or mob law is known by a large number of white and colored people of South Carolina. I have always preached law and order to our people. Have hate like every other creature. I am human, my blood within me when a woman is assaulted by a brute. Human nature asserts itself and I cry out.
"No punishment is too great for the culprit, hanging or any other process that will bring punishment, and the sooner such culprits are removed from society the better. But we have a law against such crime and we should leave the same in the hands of the law."
"The murder of a little child at Elloree by a colored woman was one of the most brutal I have ever read and of the parents of the child should have the deepest sympathy of every decent citizen of South Carolina. We all say, 'What if it had been my child?' When the case comes home to us it is mansacing, heart-bleeding and heart-breaking. But the woman should have died in the electric chair and not by the hands of the mob.
"You ask me what I think of the thirty or more Negroes that were present, approving of the action of the mob. They are murderers and every other man that took part in it or coincided with the work of the mob, their hands and hearts are stained with human blood that never can be washed away. Crime is multiplied and perhaps one hundred persons are killed by the beating only one. Now comes retribution remorse of conscience for all who took part in it. The sowing has been done reaping time must come. Children to be born will reap what their parents have sown. Individuals will reap the sowing. The state and the church will suffer.
"I have plead from pulpits everywhere I have spoken for law and order. I am a friend to the white races, but lynching of Negroes does not injure the person lynched or the race to which the brute belongs as it does those who participate."
Very bravely said, Mr. Carroll, and very creditable to your head and heart. There is danger in doing so, but it is the duty of every Negro, when appealed to, to denounce mob and lynch law and by word to brand each member of them in the forehead with the mark Cain, and when he is not appealed to he should do so as a justification of his own manhood and citizenship, which are in his keeping and not in the keeping of any one or all of his fellow-citizens. Those who are timid and cowardly and seek to save their lives, and property by silence, or by standing by and consenting to the wrongs done against them, will lose their lives and property in the fullness of time, when the law and the public opinion reach the point of agreement they did in 1856, when the Federal Supreme Court ruled that "it is held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." The sworth-of-Grant and the pen of Lincoln gave the lie to that dictum of our highest Court., and it is the duty of the Negro people to see to it that they hold fast the truth they helped to establish on the back of the lie!
It is not a small thing to lyche, a woman in the Nation or in any State of the Nation.

CAN THEY EVANGELIZE
THE MEXICANS?
Many people hold to the opinion that the Latin American people have not made the progress they should in the past 200 years, in self-government and material development, because of the. Spanish language they 'generally speak, which lends itself more readily to the sinimiosities of love and diplomacy, to romance and the war, game, than to statesmanship, philosophy and business, and because of the Catholic Church and the perennial relations it sustains, or seeks to
sustain, the government in all Catholic countries; that is, that the spiritual power of the Chirch is greater than the temporal power of the state. After nineteen centuries of stubborn conflict, in which they have been worsted in most of the countries of Europe and Great Britain and the United States, the Catholic authorities at Rome still claim the right of the principle and seek to enforce it. It is to be hoped that the United States, where freedom of religious worship is a constitutional guarantee, may never be the scene of a religious war. The Nation has been Protestant rather than Catholic in its religious sentiment, but of late
years the Catholic countries of Europe have sent us a steady and vast volume of Catholic recruits, which many fear may soon threaten the Protestant denomination in the population. However this may be, there can be no doubt that entire separation of Chutch and State is best for all sectaries in any given situation.
Unusual interest will attach to the announcement made by Bishop W. F. Oldham, chairman of the general committee representing the various mission boards, that it has been agreed to combine under the name of "The Evangelical Church" all the work heretofore done independently in Mexico, which is a Catholic country, with "the aim to secure the earliest possible evangelization of the entire Mexican people." It is a big job. The Roman Catholic Church has a long arm. Bishop Oldham says of the agreements reached by the Conference of the five independent church boards: "The outcome almost staggers belief. It gives rich promise of that rapidly approaching day, when the divided forces of evangelical Christianity shall federate and co-operate in such close sympathy as it present practically one front throughout the world." If our Negrodenominations could Federate in like manner for foreign missionary work what a tremendous impetus would be given to their work in the West Indies and Africa. Great saving would be made in the concentration of management and divided work in the same territory that could be applied to educational and industrial uplift work of the natives; who, in Africa at least, need first to be taught how to live before it would be worth while to teach them how to die.
COL JAMES LEWIS
The death of Col. James Lewis, at New Orleans, removes from human activities the most courtly and genial of our men who were conspicuous in Southern politics from 1868 to 1900. He had all of the lordly manners in his home and in public places Southern writers love to depict as "the peculiar charm of the gentleman-of the old school." He carried his dignity with him wherever he went and never allowed himself to forget it. But there was more of the French than the Southern gentleman about him and his manners. He had the massive build and the pleasing features of that one of Napoleon's marshals who enjoyed the most human and tender sentiments, of the master. He was not a great man, but he was a good husband; and an affectionate father, and a friend who would not "touch flesh" with you in the light and stab you in the dark. Such a man could not be other than a good citizen and a helpful neighbor. Such he was, and for such there is always a place all his own, among mankind in all times and places and tongues. Many Presidents honored him with their friendship and with high and responsible positions in the Federal service, and he betrayed no friendship and disgraced no position of responsibility committed to his keeping. He measured up to every responsibility with the scrupulous punctiliousness of the good soldier trained to obey and worthy to command.
THE AGE has lost a good and faithful friend and the Negro race an honest citizen who, in war-and in peace, in the home and in the State, did an honest man's work as man should always do it, in high and in low station.
THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY
IN THE SOUTH.
A great many reports are coming to us from various regions to the effect that the Progressive Party in the South is trying to become purely a white man's party, or a lily white party.
This means that the leaders of the Progressive Party will have to play a double game, posing as friends of the Negro in the North and West, where the Negro vote is important and as enemies of the Negro in the South, where the Negro vote is not always counted.
This is a difficult task for any party to perform, and we should like to know definitely where the Progressive Party stands on this question. There are about four hundred thousand Negro voters in the North and West who would like to have this question answered.
HAITI.
If ever there was a case which exhibits in a most potential degree the fact that mere politics and education not connected with life will not save a race or a nation, we have a case of it in Haiti.
The Haitian have themselves secured education, but the regrettable fact remains that they have neglected to develop the natural resources of their country, and the result is revolution, debt, bankruptcy and we fear final extinction of Haiti as an independent nation, unless they change.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Mexican tragedy continues to occupy the center of the news columns and the State Department:
The organized labor rioters are having lots of fun and keeping the police busy in all parts of the country.
In New Jersey they still hunt suspected criminals with bloodhounds, as they do in most of the Southern States.
Colored baseball has not grown to the dignity of "a money grabbing game" among owners of teams and players, but it is young and weak yet.
Will the Old Fellows' movable Biennial have as much fun at Boston as they had at the Baltimore and Atlanta meetings? The strongest organization cannot survive too much fun.
Referring to our leading editorial in THE AGE of July 16 on "The Negro and the South's Industrial Lift," it should have been credited to The Southern Workman, and his name is spelled "Morion."
The road to success is long and straight, and "crooks" who try to follow it always fall down at some point in it, and when they least expect it. Don't be afraid to be honest; it pays best in the end.
The Tuskegee Southern Letters, say "the demand for trained nurses is constantly increasing in the Southern States." That means that our doctors are succeeding in practice and their patients in business.
The campaign against the re-election of Senator John P. Gore out in Oklahoma is said to be so full of "smut" that decent newspapers refuse to print it. Senator Gore, though an able man, has the misfortune to be blind and a Democrat.
The reports from Railroad Day show that the old saws still hold good that "If you don't see what you want, ask for it." and if you don't like what you get, kick albeit it until you get what you want. Association is still the life of reformation.
The Minneapolis Twain City Star lootily says, "We are often asked, 'How can I send my subscription?' We get all post office orders sent us by mail.' A very great many of those due The Act do not even start toward us by mail or express order.
The United States is maintaining a very large naval fleet and large naval reserves in West Indian waters, on account of continued troubles in the Republics of Haiti and San Domingo, and in order to be ready to cope with the situation should worse come to worse with the turbulent people of those countries.
At the Reunion of the Classes of 1894 and 1904, inclusive, of Tuskegee Institute, this year, the old graduates gave the school $2,300 to be applied to the running expenses of the school. This is a splendid evidence of the growing strength of the school and that its graduates are succeeding in their life work.
When President Victoriana Huerta left Mexico for the West Indies, on a German warship last week, with some of his officers, he is said to have carried the Mexican treasury with him, as the new President, Don Cabarolj, it is said, could not find enough cash to pay for a hot tomato. The Latin-Americans and West Indians pay dearly for revolutions.
The last of the rulers of Egypt, Abbas Hilmi, celebrated his fortieth birthday last week, but had very little pleasure in doing so. The country being ruled by the British Government. The ancient glory and splendors of the Pharaohs passed with Cleopatra in the days of Rome, and now in its utter humiliation it is to pass to the British crown, which claims descent from King David of Israel.
The open market in Harlem, suggested by Turt Arg sometime ago, like the suggested penny bank, is still waiting for somebody to move in the matter. Neither the market nor the bank will move in the matter of themselves. Harlem cofid very well support a department store conducted by our men and women, but will not do so unless somebody gets together the necessary capital and opens the store.
The Douglass Park was formally turned over to the colored citizens of Memphis, Saturday, July 11. Addresses on behalf of the Park Commission, City Government, and the white citizens were delivered by Dr. B. T. Turner, Attorney Chas. M. Bryant and the Hon. J. H. Greer; on behalf of the colored citizens the Rev. T. J. Searcy, the Rev. T. C. Fuller, who was master of ceremonies.
Gov. Cole Blease of South Carolina is finding his campaign pathway to the Federal Senate loaded with hostile "cuss" words; sturdy blows and an occasional pistol "shot" at himself or his friends. It is a long way from Cole Blease to John C. Calhoun, but a short way from Preston S. Brooks, who brutally assaulted Senator Charles Summer, to Cole Blease, as to the three of them and as to the people of South Carolina.
Too much law is just as bad as not enough law. Thomas Jefferson, who used to be the chief apostle of Democracy, famished in his best, which governs, least, judged by that standard. President Wilson is as far away from Thomas
Jefferson as Theodore Bancroft in from George Washington. We have too much investment at home and too much meddlesomeness in the government of others abroad.
The segregation craze has hit Philadelphia hard, according to the Tribune. A respectable colored family bought a fine house through a colored agent in West-Philadelphia. Soon after they moved in a white person of the neighborhood—besieged and nearly wrecked their best before rescue reached. Two hours the batcave did not a policeman showed up! And not a word about it was printed in the daily newspapers of Philadelphia. The whole business is ominous of trouble to come where there need be none; and all the more so as the mob was made up of foreigners who have but recently come, among us.
Republican postmasters are rapidly becoming "private citizens with a club" that is, with a grievance against the Democratic party, a "private citizen service principle" in the postal service. Postmaster-General Burleson bragged last week that of the 8,610 Presidential postmasters, 5,171 had been filled by Democrats, and 4,439 had been filled by Republicans, 18,146; or 23,317 of the total of 67,450 in those two classes. There is nothing in the slaughter record to be proud of. The Government had to teach and pay at the same time as it will now have to pay and teach the new ones. The Democrats have demoralized the postal service for partisan purposes. That's all.
MOUND CITY'S PROGRESS.
(BY RALPH W. TYLER.)
St. Louis, Mo. May 26—Visiting this city as a representative of and in the interest of the National Negro Business League, I naturally went into conditions here more carefully than would the casual visitor. Next to Washington, perhaps, St. Louis has been most famed for her colored society. Its large library was drawn from every section of the country, and representing the best institutions of higher education, gives to the city a cultured community as does Washington's more than 500 colored teachers give to that city. an air of culture. Secure in their professions of culturing and conscious of much higher" education, the color people of St. Louis have developed a basic foundation for permanent and substantial progress—"business."
There is a revival on here now—a business' revival, and while not neglecting either culture or the so-called 'culture of St. Louis, inspired by the achievements of colored business men in other cities, and encouraged by its local Negro Business League; are branching out rapidly into various business activities.
St. Louis' colored schools are the best in the country—best buildings, best equipped, best managed and possession a corps of the best prepared teachers. No city compares with St. Louis for the magnificence of its colored churches, and no city's colored pulpiters' surpass in eloquence and preparedness the colored ministers of this city, nor in their race devotion.
I was, of course, particularly interested in learning of business progress here among colored men and women—of their material advancement. I ascertained, after four days' careful investigation, that the colored people of this city have $150,000 invested in business and professions. I also noted $250,000 worth of real estate that men and women engaged in business and professions are injecting into their work rare energy and an admirable personal service which makes for success. I also ascertained that the race is represented as owners and conductors of the following businesses: Geni's furnishings, groceries, meat markets, drug stores, coffee and teas, undertakers, livery, shoe repair, notice stores, horseshoeing, theaters, cafes, launches, theaters. I found that the local Negro Business League, recently reorganized, under that splendid business man, W. C. Gordon, has become, a potent factor in propagating the doctrine of business, and the idea, or policy, of, patronizing colored business houses and professional men. While here every opportunity was offered to get at the real facts businessing—the race's progress along business—in few places have I find more courteous, more unstimulated hospitality than the hands of the race here, and especially at the hands of St. Louis' colored business men and women.
Thirteen colored lawyers, the seven colored dentists and the twenty-one colored physicians are topnotchers in their respective professions, and appeared to be enjoying splendid practices, which their ability deserves and Dr. Ernest Harris and Dr. W. H. Mosby areuxists, have indicated race progress. His modernly furnished and largely sturdy office—the former having two stories—"C. K. Rohinson, one of the most public-sniffed race men I have had the good fortune to meet, is-making splendid, success with his modern, up-to-date printing establishment; and one must go far to find a cafe to equal in appointments and cuisine the one conducted by Mr. Ferguson.
Among the men who are pushing the race among colored people in this city, and who are uniting in their efforts to make the race commercially strong in this, Miss. Mosby, Dr. Metronolos, are—C. K. Rohinson; W. C. Gordon, Dr. Ernest Hastings; William Oshler, L. Williams, A. Russell, T. J. Newman, R. H. Stanton, W. H. Mosby, Messrs
The cause of the race is mostly championed by two enterprising newspapers, which stand for the best among the members of the Fourth Estate. One of the most hopeful signs of preparation for making substantial progress is to be found in the activity of the local organization, whose organization the colored bodies of trade, and the clearing house for colored ideas—has become enthusiastic in its efforts to advance the race commercially.
The colored people occupy some beautiful homes, homes—that are a credit to any race. While here I renewed an old acquaintance with Prof. Richard Cole, principal of one of the colored schools, whom I knew familiarly years ago as "Dick" Cole of Cincinnati. He is still the vigorous man of twenty-five years ago, and a splendid asset to the schools.

THE MUSICIAN
A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
(BY. LESTER A. WALTON.
Is the colored musical show to be restored to its former healthy condition through burlesque? It looks very much that way. For several seasons colored musical attractions have been regarded as a drug on the market by producers and managers, but we are about to have a change for the better, thanks to burlesque, and there is no telling what is likely to happen once the door of opportunity is slightly opened.
A deal was consummated this week which has occasioned much rejoicing among colored performers and those directly interested in colored theatricals. J. Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follies will be seen on the Progressive Burlesque Wheel the coming season. The company has been routed for thirty-six weeks and will open in Cleveland August 10. Final negotiations were, completed for the colored show to go into burlesque Saturday evening at the Lafayette Theatre, the contracting parties being J. Leubrie Hill, Andy Lewis, who will put out the Darktown Follies, and President Barton, head of the Progressive Wheel.
Announcement in the theatrical district that the Darktown Follies would be seen in the Progressive Wheel when the season opens created a mild sensation in the burlesque world, and the presence of several members of the opposition—the Columbia Burlesque Wheel at the Lafayette Theatre Monday evening was responsible for the circulation of a rumor that the Columbia people were seriously considering the advisability of annexing a colored show to their large and powerful wheel.
Within the past four years determined efforts have been made to get burlesque managers to consider favor-

Burlesq
ably the proposition to put a colored show on one of the burlesque circuits, but all endeavors were fruitless. There are times when something can be too good, and it was for this reason managers have hesitated to include a colored show on any of the burlesque wheels. It has been the claim of burlesque men that a colored show would prove too strong an attraction for white shows to follow, which would result in a financial loss to the owners of the houses on the wheel.
A bitter fight will be waged during the season of 1914-15 between the rival wheels and more money will be expended on burlesque attractions this year than ever. It is generally known that the Columbia Wheel is much stronger financially than the Progressive Wheel and is prepared to spend barrels of money to administer its rival the knock-out punch. But the Progressive people have some money, 100, and are quite energetic. That they have been far-sighted enough to see the wisdom of corralling a colored production is proof positive that they are not lacking in courage and gray matter.
It is not yet known on the outside what conclusions the Columbia Wheel has reached relative to putting out a colored show, but the fact that deep concern is being manifested in the future movements of the Darktown Follies excites suspicion that the members of
the opposition are more kindly disposed to colored attractions than a week ago. Then, again, the Columbia Wheel may play a "watchful writing" game and carefully and quietly observe the career of the Darktown Follies before taking a decisive step. Should the colored thespians cause joy at the box office of the Progressive houses the appearance of a colored show on the rival wheel may be looked forward to. However, should the Darktown Follies fall as a money-maker, then all hopes of seeing another, colored attraction in burlesque will go glimmering.
There is a marked difference between burlesque of 10-day and that of a few years back. Not so long ago the term "burlesque show" was a synonym for a vulgar display of female limbs and a vulgar presentation of the English language. But smutty jokes and other revolting features have been judiciously eliminated to a marked degree, and now many of the burlesque productions rival our Broadway musical-comedies for pretentiousness. It is gratifying to note that burlesque will be the good fairy of the colored theatrical profession at a time when one may refer to burlesque attractions without hanging his head in shame—at a time when burlesque has reached its high-water mark for decency.
The Darktown' Follies finally secured a season's good booking after undergoing many trials and tribulations. After rehearsing his company for nearly three months, J. Leubrie Hill made arrangements to open at the Lafayette Theatre last fall, and the Follies met with great success at this widely-known Harlem house. But the company had hardly left New York before attachments began to pour in against the show, and during the season the appearance of the sheriff at the box office

Follies on the Progressive

was more frequent than that of the price of admission. Following a most disastrous season on the road the company returned to New York and in June opened on Hammerstein's Roof. However, the engagement terminated abruptly after one week. Next the Darktown Follies were seen at the Bijou Theatre on Broadway, but not for long. From the Bijou Theatre the colored entertainers lied themselves to the Olympic Theatre, in Fourteenth street, and after doing a week's good business the house was closed by the Fire Department. Returning to the Lafayette Theatre last week the company played to record-breaking audiences. The Lafayette seems to bring the Darktown Follies luck.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE
Commencing Monday, August 3, the Lafayette Theatre will return to vaudeville and motion pictures, at the same prices—5, 10, 15 and 25 cents. The management is arranging to present a bill that will please even the most fastidious patrons of the house. The Darktown Follies Company is repeating its big success of last week, and large houses are in evidence at each performance. Several hundred persons were unable to obtain admission to the Lafayette last Saturday evening, and it is said that the evening's invasion was the largest in the history of the house
Harper & Gillan and Abbie Mitchell are with the Parktown Folkes this week as an added attraction, and their presence greatly strengthens the show. It is alone worth the price of admission to hear Abbie Mitchell song "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love." Even J. Leubrieb Hill admits he did not know he had written such a tuneful song until this week. Harper & Gillan, the funnyman of colored comedians of the younger school, lend much humor to the occasion. Fethel Williams has established the reputation of being a dancer of great promise, but this week she is gaining additional hurries by effectively putting over the song, "That's the Kind of Man I Want," assisted by sexten.
The show, as a whole, is stronger to-day than any time of its career.

The: Emméquel Church.
Midsummer services are largely attended by members and visiting friends. The theme of Pastor Bolden's discourse Sunday morning was "The Emmanuel Church, a Means Between Two Extremes: Individualism and Socialism." He said: "There are two extremes good for mankind, but the danger in them must be temporized by the presence of the Lord abiding in men. It is the duty of mankind to study, abate, and appropriate from each, that which is most useful to humanity. The first of these extremes is individualism. It is that that gives character, and distinguishes to person and things." To mature it affords an unlimited resource for observation, experimentation and classification. In the human family brings out the best of everything for the good of man and glory of God. This system of thought has produced great characters, and works of
art, literature, philosophy, music, logic and religion. Understand and working through all of this is the spirit, purpose and presence of our Lord. Each and every one of us have been given an opportunity to do something. To serve God, to serve man. What that is that we are to do, we will find out if faithful in doing that, which we ought to do. We each have the ability to do all that we will to do of what we ought to do.
The consciousness of this relationship creates at once for us a new environment, for we are tending toward Socialism. But it is a kind of socialism which is the result of the power and love of God in us. It is not tainted with free love; it is not corrupted by the covenant spirit of anarchism or a controlling body of syndicates; but it is a holy society, with a common interest and that interest is the good fellowship and the joy of service of each and all. In our system we believe the Holy Spirit will weld through individual perfection a social corporate body that will have a true brotherly intercourse, instead of race interest, group interest, class interest or national interest. We are teaching and tending toward the interest of the Kingdom of God.
At the morning service Mr. Simms read a paper on "Man's Responsibility". A large crowd of children and teachers greeted Supt. Humphrey at Sunday School. A number of visitors were present, including L. P. Williams, of THE AGE, and Mr. Garrison, of Bethel A. M. E. Church. These gentlemen made appropriate remarks. Miss Helen Cornelius, of Mrs. Townsend's class, spoke of some impressions made upon her mind during the past week. Two new scholars joined the school. James M. Hinton will organize a Young Men's Bible Class and has been appointed teacher of the same. The outing and picnic given by the Sunday School on last Thursday was enjoyed by all.
The Literary Society was treated to a fine program by Mme. J. Napoleon. A number of the members of Bethel Church took part. While each number was well rendered, Miss Jordan's paper was forceful. At the evening service Pastor Bolden continued his discussion on Immunelism, as it is demonstrated in human history: James Hinton, before the sermon, read a paper entitled "Man's Responsibility in the World." Mrs. Jackson rendered a solo, and Wm. Matthews and Mrs. Tuckett a duet. The collection for the day was very good, nearly all-the members and friends giving $1 each.
Mrs. Wm. Brown and Mrs. Wm. Townsend served an excellent dinner during the day, and presented the church with $10, proceeds from the same. This social service in our church is making a deep impression.
ALABAMA PROGRESSIVE WANTS NO LILY WHITISM

vote for them as delegates in their respective counties; but it was incumbent on the special committee to keep within the bounds of reason and justice to all sections of our electorate in calling the convention.
But I was a Republican nominee for Governor of Alabama. I was advertised as adversely as possible by the Democratic press as being too friendly to the Negro, still. I received 9,000 more votes (they came from the Democratic party) than the balance of *my ticket who had not been too friendly to the Negro. The 9,000 votes came from the church people of the state. The *I* party in mind to oppose the organized democracy are not going to decline to do so forsorth because the opposition party merely treats decently a section of our people.
National Committee Define Position
I am writing you to suggest that you call your committee together at the earliest possible time and definitely define its position on this question; so definitely that a fool though he run may read. It would be impossible for me to, remain silent on this question in the middle of the decision is not taken by your committee in advance of our meeting here on August 5. I made a flight in this state on this question a decade ago and I shall do so again if necessary, to the point that recognition must be given all sections of our state in the convention, and where-performance a colored man who a qualifies by the Progressive Party in his county he shall be seated in the state convention.
I know what Col. Roosevelt's views on this subject are as expressed when he was President and as expressed when he was a Progressive, nominee and his bitter position is that he should be with his former position. The great difficulty is that the average man in politics has not the fineness of judgment or wisdom to handle such delicate questions without making a mess of it, and our special committee certainly has made a mess of it, then from time to time not to touch this question and then no ill results could possibly come to the party. I am especially anxious that we elect two members of Congress from this state. It may be necessary to ballot hot and fight it out on our own before Congress. How on earth could we hope to seat our candidate for Congress in a contest to be decided by National Progressives and National Progressives if it were shown that we had already committed to voting for the voters by declaring that they could not participate in the councils of our party?
I would be glad to have you write me at your earliest convenience on enquiries.
With kindest 'personal' regards,
Lop.
Most respectfully,
(Signed)
J. O. THOMPSON.
To those who know Mr. Thompson in this State as the man who broke up the jily-white practices of the Republican Party the above action will not be a surprise. He has always stood for the cardinal-principles of the Republican Party and has fought for a fair, square deal for the black man in Alabama, in the councils of the Republican, Party, and is doing the same thing now that
he is at the head of the Progressive Party in Alabama. Mr. Thompson is one of the strongest of the younger men who have come to the front in the South, and is a man not afraid to express his convictions and to stand for the right, no matter what the odds are against him.

Here are some of the reasons given for not taking Negro newspaper: "I am already taking too many papers. I take the daily paper and one or two of the church papers, and I don't find time to read them."
Another reason: "Negro papers do not give the current news and the majority of them are patent back sheets with only a few locals. The editors are afraid to publish the news as it occurs, hence we are not inclined to pay for a paper containing only State news."
Another Feason: "Two thirds of the matter carried in the Negro papers is church doings. Tell the would-be editors to engage live correspondents in every nook and corner of the State. Have them write the news as they occur and will all gladly take Negro papers. What we want is news."

A Review of the Abyssinian Excursion To the Editor of Tit Age:
Thanks to all who prayed Wednesday night amidst the downpour of rain that we should have a clear day for our excursion, for their prayers were certainly answered.
Even at 5 o'clock Thursday morning the rain was coming down in torrents, but two hour slater it looked as though it was going to be a favorable day and it was not long before old Sol made his appearance and dispersed every cloud.
Nearly everybody was at the pier on time, but as usual, there were a few people a little behind time, and it was only proper that Mr. Page, our chairman, should have waited a few minutes, because excursion day only comes once a year. However, we were soon on our way, aboard the commodious steamer Rosedale, down the East River, around the Battery and up the beautiful Hudson, with Point Pleasant Park as the objective point.
Soon we noticed, to our left, one one who evidently preferred an ethereal trip to that of water, going southward in an aeroplang. The aeroplane having disappeared, New York's sky line next claimed our attention. Some of the buildings looked as, though they were partly hidden in the clouds. After we passed the commercial centre, we could see the park on Riverside Drive. Further up the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, then Grant's Tomb and the old historic Claremont Inn on Riverside Drive and 126th street.
At this point we could begin to realize why the Hudson is called the American Shine—for one one side were the beautiful Palisade and on the other rhe sloping hills of Westchester, studded with beautiful trees and paltial and cast-like residences of New York's millionaires.
After about three hours' sail, to the delight of all, we reached Point Pleasant Park and disembarked for the grove, where we had lunch and partook in the various innocent sports. Baseball was our favorite game. While playing we noticed Dr. Powell coming toward us. The batter readily passed the bat to the genial and offable divine to see if he had any sporting blood left in him and any knowledge of the game. A swift ball was pitched which settled any doubt as to the doctor's knowledge of America's favorite sport. At first we thought both bat and ball were out of commission, but as luck would have it, they lasted for the day.
Light showers suddenly broke upon us and temporarily spoiled our fun. All of us returned to the boat, but soon the sun was out again and many of us returned to the grove, and there remained until the Rosedale's final whistle blast was heard.
The said home was just as pleasant as that to the park. The music by the Excelsior Military Band was most satisfactory and as we neared home familiar airs were played by the band and sang by all who had a voice. At 8.30 we reached Recreation Pier without having a hitch or a coarse word by any one. Let us all hope that our next excursion will be just as nice, if not better, and may I add this little sentence: rust in God and pray to Him and your prayers will surely be answered.
