"Seven more Arkansas Lilies in the same family," is the inscription on the back of the photograph of a charming girl from Arkansas, entered in THE Age's Beauty Contest. "Lily" may not be one of the Chosen Filles, but the judges will have work cut out for them finding fifteen to surpass her. If she was from Georgia she'd be a "Peach." It is apparent every day that interest in the contest is growing by leaps and bounds. The scope and intent of the demonstration of beauty is becoming better understood and its possibilities are more plainly realized. To show the world at large the development of physical and spiritual comeliness is an undertaking of considerable magnitude, but the results to be attained make the effort well worth while. It will counteract the world's conception of the American Negro women based on the caricatures and exaggerations published in the comic weeklies. Further interest in the development of the Real American Negro type as two weeks ago is shown by the editorial in this paper this week, in which THE Ace editor comments on the suggestion. The photographs published this week show a general tendency toward the same type, and show the possibility of a race type idea. Letters and photos come in every mail and trap every section. To show how widespread is the interest one mail brought photos from Boston, Mass., Louisville, Ky., and Los Angeles, Cal., while in the next mail came a photo from Portland, Oregon. The promoters of the Autumn Festival, in conjunction with which the Beauty Contest will be held, inform the contest editor that they are being continually approached with inquiries concerning the contest, and a number of photographs are sent in through their office. The Autumn Festival is assuming large proportions, and the five nights at Manhattan, Las Vegas, September 28 to October 2 promise to mark an era in the amusing, entertaining and instructing of New York's metropolitan population. Send in Good Photographs. The contest is open to all women of the race, and there are no stipulations to be compiled with or obligations to be met. The only suggestion the contest editor would make is that the best photographic reproductions possible be sent in. All photographs sent will be received and entered in the contest. There are no limitations as to the kind of photographs to be sent, but it is certain that the better the photograph the stronger will be its representation of the personal charm and beauty of the sitter. Send Name and Address A caution to senders is to be sure and send the name and address, not for publicity, but as a means of identification in case of award, and that photos may be returned if wanted. The absence of means of identifying a photograph will cause it to be taken from the contest. This caution is given because in one instance two small photos were received without any means of telling who the persons are, or from, whence came the photos, only the postmark, which was "New York, Aug. 13, 7.30 p. m., College Sta." While there are no rules and the requirements are extremely simple, anonymous photos will not be entered in the context. Contest Closes September 21. Photos will be received until September 21, when contest closes. A committee of twelve capable and disinterested men and women will be invited to act as judges and all photos received ...ON TO W ENJOY A DAY IN Monster Basket Outing UNDER THE A St. Christopher Club AT VERONA TERR SATURDAY, AUG MUSIC BY CENTUR Admission, Including Round Children!

Grant, superintendent of the New York Central district of the Pullman Co. and the porters, held Monday, August 17 at Mott Haven yards, a number of grievances were given a hearing and the porters were given an opportunity to make recommendations for the betterment of the service. Mr. Grant expresses a determination to do all in his power to advance the interest of his men and called attention to the fact that the general office at Chicago had issued a statement in which the New York district was rated A No. 1, the men attaining a percentage of 93 per cent. in efficiency. George W. Young, one of the most prominent of the Pullman employees, states that already many changes for the better have been made, one being that the men are paid for time absent because of sickness. The hours of labor are also being regulated. Because of Personal Bias Members of S.C.M. Have Held Back Gases That Should Have Gone to Supreme Court for Adjudication. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 18—With the drawing near of the session of the B. M. C. at Boston on September 14, the various factions are increasing—the calibre of their guns and the weight of their ammunition and sending forth broadsides with greater frequency Supporters of Henry Lincoln Johnson for grand master declare that the outlook for his election is getting brighter and brighter. The Morris administration, in its efforts to bolster up its cause, has made a determined onslaught on the operations of the Supreme Court of the Order, declaring it to be useless and expensive appendage. "In reply to this charge, Benj. J. Dayis, chief justice of the court, has issued a letter in which he goes exhaustively into the history of the court and what it has accomplished. Although Grand Master Morris is fighting the court Davis declares that Morris was the father of the project, and makes the further charge that the grand master created the court that he might have a way to pass the remainder of his days in office. The charge is made that Morris, if not elected grand master, wanted to be chief justice, and if elected grand master he would serve two years and then retire to the bench. S. C. M. Holds Out Cases. The charge that the court is useless Chief Justice Davis declares is not true because members of the S. C. M. are elected every two years and they should not be allowed to interpret the law. Their need to look after their political fortunes would make it possible for them to shape judicial decisions to personal advantage. He states also that the law requires all cases to come to the Supreme Court through the grand master of S. C. M., and that in many cases, for personal or other reasons, causes have been acted upon by the S. C. M. which should have been acted upon by the court. In other cases, the papers have not been turned over to the court until the day of sitting, instead of being transmitted to the chief justice as the law provides. It is declared that notwithstanding this infringement, upon its rights, the court has rendered between seventy-five and one hundred decisions and tried as many more in the past four years, while the S. C. M., in fifty years, has only adjudicated more than two hundred cases. Mr. Davis declares that in his experience when mem- (Continued on Page 8.)

Washington and his victorious followers tell how their people have overcome. Fourteen cities have played host to the famous Business League, but no city, from Boston to Philadelphia, has presented a livelier scene in its preparation for the comfort and entertainment of the delegates of the league than this Wizard City of an engaging commonwealth.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON President, Nat'l Negro Business League In the form of local business leagues, or similar organizations, in nearly every center of Negro population throughout the United States, Getting its strength and its standing from these local leagues, the National Negro Business League at each annual session grows in dignity and influence. Before beginning the body of my remarks, there are a few simple but fundamental things to which I wish to direct the special attention of each local league. These things I ask in order that the usefulness of the league may be still further felt among the ten millions of our people. Fundamental Principles First of all, do not fritter away too much time in your meetings in technicalities known as parliamentary rules. 2. Let each local league study the constitution and needs of our people in its constitution, and do itself to doing that which will promote the commercial and moral life of our race in that community. 3. Have a regular time of meeting, in always have a meeting at that time. 4. Strive to have a regular place of meeting, one that shall be attractive and convenient. 5. Each meeting is carefully arranged program that shall strike at some definite thing. A general program means little; serving refreshments often helps. 6. Each local league should, strive to be its membership every man-and-woman in the kind of honorable business, no matter how humble that business may appear to be. 7. The league should have for one of its objects the bringing of a white man, by whose side we live, friendly and sympathetic contact with the progress of the race. One way to do this is to invite successful white men to visit and speak to the local leagues. The white man will help and we will be heeded. 8. Try to stimulate competition and up-to-date business methods. up-to-dute business methods having a meeting covering some of the details of this organization let me give attention us best may to the main thought in my mind. Race Must Enter Upon New Policy. "I believe that the time has come when we, as a race should begin preparing to enter upon a new policy and philate words I want to suggest whether the time has not come when we should get off the defensive in things that concern our present and future aggressive and constructive progressive policy in business industry; education, moral and religious life and in our conduct personally. I believe the Master when he said, 'Overcome evil with good.' A general, however able, who contents himself with merely holding the territory that he occupies or merely devotes himself to defending himself against the assaults of the enemy, is genuine leadership or gains the confidence of the world. A general who occupies much of his time in explaining the weakness of the enemy or the unjust assaults or tactics of the enemy is not the general who wins many battles; so it is in business of every battle that he merely contents himself with holding his present trade without covering new ground, in the way of increased patronage and trading in new territory, is not the merchant who gets much of a rating for success in the business world. The merchant again, who is aware of another's business, is not getting very far on the road to business. All the energy you have to "knock" with, all the energy you have to voice complains, coin that energy into improved methods of handling your merchandise. And so with general race and speed, you cannot push us forward. His damming us cannot permanently hold us back. Now, having said this much to indicate in a rather general way my thought, let me be a little more definite in applying these ideas to conditions in Oklahoma and nearby states. What is said of these states can be applied. I think, with profit to other states. Short on Live Stock and Poultry. I find that of the 1,700 colored farmers in Kansas, 100 of them are without live stock, and 350 are without poultry on their farms. Many farmers in this section, and likewise in every section of the South are not making the most of their opportunities. They are living overcaches in the form of chickens, hens and poultry so that they can possess simply letting go of their place they are. While the Negro farmer is neglecting his opportunity of raising live stock, the prices are continually getting higher. Beef is being imported from Australia and from South america. Eggs by the shipload are being imported from South america, so no special color line in stock and poultry raising. If the Negro has cattle for sale, they will bring the same prices on the market that the white man's cattle will bring. The black man's loghorn chickens, if properly managed, will have man's eggs as the white man's, and he will get the same price in the market. In few other parts of the world is here a greater chance for the Negro to get off the defensive through protection from the soil than is true in this section. As I have stated, in no other of the United States is there greater opportunity for the Negro than in the six states adjacent to Jackson; namely, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. These six states comprise the greatest live stock and poultry section of the United States. About one-third of all the live stock in the country is in this section. This section is less than one-fifth of the country owned in these six states is worth over $31,000,000, and is one-fifth the value of all the poultry in the country. Southwest a Great Farming District My own observation and statistics indicate that this is also one of the greatest farming districts in the United States. In the cotton, raised in the country is produced in these states and a great amount of corn, oats, wheat and potatoes is also raised. Here are indeed great opportunities for the Negro region. There are in the six states adjacent to this city 133,000,000 acres of unimproved land. This is an area of over 200,000 square miles. It is equal to the area of New England states, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Ohio together. In this great tract of unimproved land Negroes have the opportunity to settle, and to bring up out of the soil, oats, wheat, poultry horses mules cattle and hogs. These six states have a Negro population of 2,000,000. These Negroes have under their control all owners and renters about $300,000,000 and about $60,000 farms containing about 5,000,000 acres of land. The total value of the farm property, land, live stock, farming implements, etc. owned by the Negroes of these states is about $200,000,000. The Negroes' improvement along all lines. For every Negro that owns an acre of land there are 33 who are landless. These 33 ought to get some of the millions of acres of unimproved land which are owned by Negroes. Get us stop the world from talking about the land we do not own, but about the land we do own. Get off the defensive by putting the world, to talking about that 33 that do own land and the ones that do not own land. Let your success thoroughly gelpose your shortcomings. We must give the world so much to think and talk about that relates to our construction work in the direction of progress that people will forget and overlook our failures EMMETT J. SCOTT THOUSANDS SOLD INSPIRING AND INSTRUCTIVE JOHNSON'S HISTORY NEGRO RACE Combined With HISTORY NEGRO SOLDIERS IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Your Library incomplete without it. Price $1.25 post paid Address: B. A. JOHNSON, 154 Nassau St., New York and shortcomings. Instead of giving people opportunity to explain why we failed to build a house, let us build so many houses that the world will forget about the house that we failed to build. One big, delirious fact in the direction of building and construction will go farther and present rights and removing prejudice than many printed pages of defense and explanation. Emphasize Our Opportunities It is not well for us or our children that we should dwell so much on the defensive, with the negative side of life instead of the positive side. It is not well that our minds should be so continually centered upon our misfortunes those who mistreat us. In the future let us phasize our opportunities more and our difficulties less. Let us talk more about our white friends, and about our white enemies less. We do our work a lasting injustice when we feed their unjustly upon the miseries of the race. Let us man who has got a job, and less about the man without a job. Let our fraternal and secret societies talk less about sickness and death, and more about health and life. Let our societies less money in taging care of the sick, and promoting the health of the rest and they will have to spend less on account of sickness and death. Instead of giving the world a chance to discuss the high death rate of the Negroes us put the world to wondering that we keep so healthy and strong. Let us make health contagious in every community rather than disease. I often deplore the fact that so many of our men's organizations, women's clubs or other organizations deserve so much time to merely reenact something, or "getting back" at some unfriendly criticism, instead of devoting themselves to constructive and progressive measures that are significant occurrences and insignificant individuals are given an importance and an advertisement by organizations that is unnecessary and hurtful. Let us, in the future, spend less time talking about the part of the city that we cannot live in, and more time in making the part of the city that we cannot live in beautiful and attractive. Let us get it done in explaining why the house that we live in so often has the gate off the hinge, the fence palings gone, windows and doors broken out, and plastering knocked off, instead of this, that beauty and attractiveness of the house occupied by our people. Let us make such progress in these directions that the other fellow will be kept so busy talking about our progress that he have no time to abuse us. Let us make that the other fellow so fast that the world will forget our poverty and ignorance. Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about our carelessness and idleness. Let us make the Nerro so law-abiding that people will be about the criminal Negro and more about the one who obeys the law. Too much time of organizations and of the press is often devoted to not only resenting something, but in criticising the white man in the absence of the white man, or out of his presence. Everywhere let us talk more about how we can live in peace and harmony with the white man, and less about racial-friction and racial bitterness. Let us exit the white man who treats us with justice, and overlook and pity the little man who would retard our progress. We call too many meetings to resent something, and not enough to construct something. All this is in the direction of progress that will be lasting, and in time remove many of our difficulties. In connection with the same line of thought, we must give us business men and women, less attention to lives of business which simply cater to miseries and misfortunes and the weaknesses and follies of our race and more attention to the lines of business that create wealth by dealing with nature at first hand. The fact is to be deplored that so much time and money in the larger cities are being spent in encouraging our young people to spend money instead of to save money. The dancing hall, the billiard room, the bar room, the card parties and excursions are not the places where wealth is created. Nothing gets an individual or a race permanently upon its feet except delinite, progressive, constructive work. "Railroad Day" Achieved Results. One of the gratifying evidences of what we can accomplish by concentrated and united effort is in the success that recently attended us in the county of the county from all parts of the county from every part of the South have coped reports to the effect that railroad conditions have been bettered by reason of our efforts. I think the National Negro Business League can justly qualify for inaugurating this movement. Another gratifying evidence of the strength and growing prosperity of the race is shown in the fact that whereas a few years ago the wholesale merchant either in the North or South carefully planned to attract any attention today the wholesalechant in every part of the country is giving as much attention to catering to the trade and good wishes of the Negro merchant as is true of the white merchant; all this in the way of bushland means better things between the races means better things or both races throughout the country. The Negro business and professional man have in the past few years made remarkable progress. Their progress in the future, however, is going to decrease and more upon the progress and development of the people who remains on the soil makes. As they acquire more land, raise more cotton and corn to the acre, raise more live stock and poultry, they will be able to support more banks, more stores and dry goods stores and pay the teachers and preachers better salaries. When 2,000,000 Negroes of the Southwest have made the most of their opportunities and have let down their buckets deep into the earth and brought up the riches contained therein, they have corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, chickens, hogs, horses, mules and cattle they will be able to support in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma, 1,000 more grocery stores owned by Negroes, 500 additional dry goods stores, 200 more good restuarant stores and additional millinery stores, 200 additional drug stores and 40 more banks. Automobiles in Place of Mules. Whenever we think-of agricultural progress among Negroes we invariably associate it with the mule. The most modern vehicle for transportation is the automobile. It is doing almost all the work to Negro as the mule has done. The business professional man, and the planter in all parts of the South are using the automobile. This has necessitated the building of good roads in every section of the South. The building of these roads brought the country nearer the town and is carrying the town into the country. The rural free delivery, the parcel post and the telephone have all helped to bring the remotest sections of the South into close touch with the town in the case tended to make conditions in the town Negro.

The Webb-Draper Agency THE NEGRO FARMER 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." DR. BOONE T. WASHINGTON STATES: The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publisher, but some of the active officers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only accept payments from a paying institution. The paper will be backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to secure its publication. Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will. —BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. The success of this project is assured because of the solid and sensible lines upon which it is being laid out. All the capital stock has been subscribed for. The subscription price is $1.00 a year and Subscriptions and Advertisements are invited. Clubbing rates with important Negro newspapers will be arranged for on a satisfactory basis. We are now ready to receive Subscriptions and Advertisements. The first issue of the paper will appear February first, 1914.

Conley, Buffalo, N. Y. THE MAKING OF A RACE TYPE We are all interested in the letter in THE AGE of August 6, from Mr. DEMOND LEWIS, in the body of our news article, entitled, "Ideal of Race Beauty," and published on our first page, in which he makes the following statement and suggestion: I modestly suggest that the committee that has the important ask of deciding such an interesting and vital task select as a standard the first three as a distinctly American-Negro type—a basic type. From this type could be illustrated in historical and scientific order various fusing and variations from the basis American-Negro type through the important Negro type until the Negro element is nil. The negroid type would include the inverse order, mulatto, octoron, quadroon and as le dernier crier, an arrangement type which is so enchanting? An arrangement based on this rough outline would prove screening, inspiring and wonderfully fascinating to all Americans who would contemplate it. Of each type shown there should be examples to suggest in a native, delicately subtle manner, the various racial influences which are suggestively characteristic. In selecting an ideal American-Negro type as a classic, should we be influenced by the Egyptian or Graeco-Roman standard of beauty? Is not the type in which the Egyptian influence most subly apparent much nearer to the basic American-Negro ideal? Of course, allowance must be made for the "Spirit of the New World," and its environment, which is of considerable importance. The making of a distinct race type is one of the hardest and most tedious processes with which mankind has to deal, as so many generations of discards are necessary to be sacrificed to get one good member out of a single family. Many family names are wiped out in the process. The Jewish type is one of the oldest; we can trace it from Ur of the Chaldees to Ur of New York, say, and yet the Jewish race type is far from perfect in physique and mental excellence; the mishapen individual and the low and sordid and debased mentality being found in force in every race group of Jews, showing that as a race type the Jew is as yet very far from even. The African races are divided into tribes and physical, facial and mental dissimilarities as great as the races of Asia and Europe, and their people are distinguishable the one from the other, only by their color and language. In their tribal groupings, as to color and speech they are even, and their physical lines all run from extreme lean to extreme fat, and reversely, but their race types and tribal types are fixed, rather by color and speech than otherwise. It is impossible to segregate the American Negro from the aggregate American population in lan- The illusive sinner becomes the despair of the hopeful preachers of all denominations, except the Catholic Church, which does not consider itself a denomination, we believe. Along with inability to reach and hold the illusive sinner goes the other difficulty of getting enough money by voluntary contributions to support the churches adequately in their great and varied work at home and in foreign missionary fields. There is also general complaint, not only in Negro church denominations, but in the other hyphenated sort, that young men do not take to the ministry as in other days, even when educated for the ministry and in church schools, because they do not consider the ministry as inviting a field for their time and preparedness for work as other fields. Church organizations can no longer be supported by voluntary contributions, because they are no longer mutual associations in which the possessions of the membership are regarded as common property; they have become vast business organizations, that require a complicated and expensive administration, with assured revenues and sources of revenues, just like the State and the Nation. It is not regarded by the administrators of church government any more than do those of the States, that economy is of the first importance, so that officers are multiplied and schemes of church building and foreign work are undertaken on a large scale, with the faith that the membership will foot the bills, and when it does not, because it is already taxed to the limit of its disposition, if not of its ability, to do so, great is the suffering of poor preachers at home and missionaries in foreign lands. State and National legislators and administrators act as church administrators do with the tax-payers who elect them to wisely and economically administer their affairs. When they are once elected they forget all about their promises, but spend much time seeking ways to multiply expenses that greater taxation may be imposed upon the people. It was in that way that the Income Tax law was made necessary, indirect tariff taxation increased, and excise taxation kept at the maxim point, although acknowledged to be a tax on the vices and weaknesses of the people. How can the sinners be reached, and who are the sinners? Mr. BILLY SUNDAY, the Baseball Evangelist, thinks every man is a sinner who is not a gain, and has raised a great stir in his rough and tumble campaign in many cities to make the sinners come over into the camp of the saints, his style of preaching being of the blunt, brazen sort, often bordering on the vulgar, in the words used and the manners displayed; for words are sharp instruments in the hands of a master, and cut the conscience as the Toledo blade cuts the flesh. In short, Mr. BILLY SUNDAY is very popular, and draws immense crowds wherever he pitches his evangelical tent. The National Ministerium is much divided about Mr. SUNDAY and his methods, words and manners, but a majority seem agreed that he reaches the sinners and helps to swell the number of the saints, and that, therefore, his results must justify his methods. Perhaps. But we cannot see that the work of building up the moral forces of the church to withstand the immoral forces is promoted by the coarse language and vulgar manners that the newspaper reports indicate Mr. SUNDAY guilty of employing in his campaign after sinners. We believe in the domination of the highest culture and refinement of manners in the church and everywhere else, and in elevating the masses in that direction rather than in the other. If our Christian homes and Sunday Schools and our public schools cannot make sufficient headway against the destructive forces of society to save it from destruction it will not be saved by dragging it down to the slums and gutters of vulgarians and inviting them to occupy the front seats with the flower of Christian civilization. Over in Philadelphia, where many strange things happen, the Rev. JOHN MEIGLAN, a Baptist preacher and a Semitic scholar of high repute, has taken to "soap box" preaching, and tells us all about it, as reported in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, as follows: The Rev, Mr. MEIGHAN gives the credit to Billy SUNDAY. He went to Scranton with 200 other Philadelphia ministers last October, and after studying "BILLY" at close range for several days, he declared that the baseball eyeglasses possessed the secret of carrying conviction to the hearts of the people. Mr. MEIGHAN came home and changed his methods. Thereafter, he gave less attention to the kind of sermons people are prone to expect from Semite scholars, and more to fearless, straight-from-the-shoulder preaching. Oddly enough, the straight-from-the-shoulder preaching has spelled success. Mr. MEIGHAN tells how he began his soap-how preaching in these words; "It came about somewhat in this wise. One of the members of our church said he was in the habit of holding open-air service on hot summer days. It seemed to me that it was too hot to be inclosed and decidedly uncomfortable. The open-air was so refreshing, and then—Jesus seemed to have done a great deal of his work in the open air. It must have been beautiful above and around Him when He sat on that cold well at Sychar, and when He went up the mountain, or sat by the seashore. "So I went to one of the meetings in the open-air, and when called upon, to speak I was shown a soap-box on which to stall and tell the people about Jesus." Mr. MEIGHAN is successful in his new way of reaching simmers and we should not complain. And far be it from us to decry the open air and slum district, work that goes to the wayward and fallen, and gives them, first, something to eat and a place to sleep while the storm lasts, and perhaps finds a job for them, and then preaches a practical sermon to them against the influences that have reduced them to their desperate condition and appeals to them to amend their ways. We approve such work, such as the Inasmuch Mission is doing in Philadelphia and the Jerry Macaulay and the Florence Missionis are doing among the whites, and Dr. RANSOM has begun to do among the Negroes of New York; we approve such work, because it is helpful, as is the Salvation work among the white people. We need more such work among the Negroes of all large cities; high, self-sacrificing, noble work of help and uplift, with nothing of the vulgar and spectacular about it, and we urge that our Christian thinkers should begin to think of work of that sort on a national scale, to save the weak and rescue the fallen and among our own. The white Christians are looking after their own in works of church evangelization and charity, and when they cross over to our side, as in the young men and women Christian Association work, they insist upon bossing the whole business and conducting it in their way. We don't blame them, we blame our own for not developing and bossing their own such work. They should begin to do it. guage, and when this segregation can no longer be made because of color, we shall have the even American type in color and language and manners, which make race type. As to the standard of beauty that shall prevail among such a people, it will differ, as it does among European races grouped in their Nationalists, and distinguishable only by their language and manners. There will be a Negro type of beauty evolved of course, but it will approximate the composite American type rather than any particular race type, as the amalgamation of the races has gone so far, with the horrible impetus given it under the enforced conditions of slayery, that its resolution into the American type, whose population is more off color than straight color, will be only a matter of time—but much time, of course. MONEY AND FOODSTUFFS SHOULD BE KEPT AT HOME. The United States did nothing to bring on the horrible war of Nations in Europe, threatening at the same time the peace and order of the whole world, and it has offered its good offices to help the warring nations patch up a peace among them, to which only a curt-acknowledgment has been made. They are not hunting for peace, but are determined to have war, and plenty of it. The United States, therefore, is in a position to protect itself, as far as possible. from the horrors of war, as these are represented in scarcity of money and foodstuffs that produce famine. There is plenty of money and foodstuffs in the United States, and they should be kept there, by rigid Governmental restractions, as charity begins at home, or should, and remain at home, or should, as long as it is needed to feed and cloth and house its own. Where is no call-nor reason for the sudden rise in foodstuffs that occurred last week, and promise to keep on rising, except the greed of those who control the foodstuff supply. The demand for our goods in Europe need not raise the home price beyond the normal, nor should be allowed to do so; nor should exports be allowed beyond those that obtain in times of peace, so that our people shall have the earth's increase they have made the past year, in preference to speculative vendors and the necessities of --- all warriors in the world. This may be a selfish view that is no more so than that of the warring nations that have turned loose their warships on the high seas to prey on the commerce of the world, as the pirates used to do, while commanding every vestige of foodstuffs and money, for home use that their own people have produced and boarded. The Government of the United States should not allow its money and foodstuffs to be shipped out of the country by greedy speculators while the war lasts in Europe, beyond the volume of such exports in times of peace. It is also the duty of individuals to remember that these are perilous times, and to shape their expenditures and their consumption of foodstuffs accordingly. Unless the Government takes such action as we have indicated famine prices are bound to come, not because we have not produced enough and to spare, but because speculators will be allowed to ship too much out of the country, or to corner foodstuffs and arbitrarily advance prices. There are plenty of signs that they have begun to do this already, in the graduated advance in the prices of all articles of consumption. The war may be of long or of short duration; that is always a difficult matter to determine; but it will be full of horrors while it lasts, not only for those immediately engaged in it, but in some sort by all peoples, as the relations of mankind have become so interwoven that a scarcity, like an abundance, is felt by all in all lands; the wise nation and the wise individual, therefore, should alike protect themselves as best they can from the famine that threatens them in the too rapid consumption of the resources they have accumulated from the past to serve the present needs. J. B. FORAKER The Republicans of the great State of Ohio have registered it as their verdict, in the primary voting of August 12, that the public career of former Senator J. B. FORAKER is at an end. The vote was very close, but W. G. HARDIN-secured a plurality over Senator FORAKER and RALPH D. COLE. Senator FORAKER made a thorough canvass of the State and prior to the voting it was believed by his friends and admirers that he might lead his two opponents. Senator FORAKER was a conspicuous figure in the Federal Congress and the nation for twenty years prior to the elevation of Col. ROOSEVELT to the Presidency: He, always belonged to and often led the Radical wing of the Republican party, and especially so on all matters affecting the Negro people, until the party adopted a policy of conciliation of the white South at the expense of the black South; a policy inaugurated by Senator HANNA and carried out by President McKINLEY, President TAFT and by President ROOSEVELT, in the latter part of his term, when his sensitivity to Southern good opinion became a sickening exhibition of weakness, and was responsible for the Brownville discharge order; and the ultimate retirement of Senator FORAKER, who opposed the justness of the action and espoused the cause of the discharged soldiers. And now they are all politically dead, for the time being—Col. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, President WILLIAM Howard TAFT, Senator J. B. FORAKER, and the Republican party—but the colored soldiers are still on the firing line. LAWLESSNESS BREEDS LAWLESSNESS. It counts for a great deal that so influential a newspaper as the Montgomery (Ala.) Daily Advertiser keeps itself planted on the position that all the citizens of the State should have the same sort of justice meted out to them by the courts. If all of the great newspapers of the South should plant themselves upon that position, and stick to it through thick and thin, we should have very soon a new and better condition of affairs in all of the Southern States. In the last issue of THE AGE we quoted an article from the Daily Advertiser, under the heading, "Murdering Negroes Not, Popular," in which the following sentiment should be reproduced here so that it may have the widest sort of publicity: Let the work of re-enhancing law in Alabama go steadily forward. If a white man murders a Negro punish him as severely as the law and the evidence justify. Punish him as we would punish a Negro for durering a white man. As Dr. Washington long ago said, "there cannot be one law for the white man, and one law for the black man in the South"; there must be one law for both black and white men." When there is no law for the black man, when the white man hogs all the law, disregard and contempt for law naturally creep in and corrupts the whole public body. When a white man is outlawed, as the ALLENS and EDWARDS of Carroll County, Virginia, were, they make their whole county lawless and keep it so, until the State arises in its outraged majesty and exterminates them. When Negroes are put outside the law, or treated as if they were, it breeds among them a lawless disposition. Too much of this has been done in the past for the good of the South, and it is time to call a halt to it. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Shall the Race Be Represented? To the Editor of The Age: To the Editor OF THE ACE: Shall there be a representative Afro-American in the coming Constitutional Convention? You of Greater New York have the votes; can you not bring for it? You have the votes; can you not bring for it? One with ability, character and brains? It is true that the existing laws safeguard our rights along with other citizens of this great State, but it is also trutha t there is an increasing sentiment to discriminate against us. Is it not possible that this sentiment may find its way into the law with strength enough to weave into the fundamental law of the common wealth clauses that will materially affect our status as citizens? And should such contingency arise shall we have no one to offer a protest? To my mind this is a serious matter. We ought to have some broad-minded man of some other race who will plead our cause. By all means let us have a representative at court. 1 see by publication in "Turtle Age of last week that Miss Ruth Rolston from New Haven, Conn., is preaching in Flushing; N. Y., and is called the evangelist from New Haven. I wish to say that Miss Ruth Rolston has not been given license of any kind in New Haven and I told her that she was not to attempt preaching until she had gotten license. She was recommended to the minister of the year-but was sent lack without license, and I take this method of informing the public and of warning the ministers in the A. M. E. Church not to use Miss Rolston as a preacher or evangelist until she secures license from some church. Pastor, A. M. E. Church 129 Henry street, New Haven, Conn.

M. had personal interest in cases they refused to let those cases go to the court, fearing action adverse to the pleasure of the interested member. In this connection he says that the calendar of the S. C. M. will show that half the questions it handles belongs rightly to the court and that matter properly coming before the S. C. M. as an executive branch could be settled in one slay. Grand Master Hates One Justice. Chief Justice Davis sets forth further that the 15th B. M. C. passed a proposition directing the incoming S. C. M. to appoint a committee on revision of general laws, the committee to thirty days at $10 each per day, a total of $900. The grand master appointed the Supreme Court to sit as a reasonant committee without pay, which duty the court accepted; but before the court could meet the grand master combined the new laws passed at the 14th and 15th B. M. C.'s with the old general laws, and had them published, for which he charged the order $300. When the committee on revision attempted to make its report, Davis declares the grand master refused to recognize the shattarur. He makes the charge that Grand Master Morris is not making the fight at the court in good faith, but because he hates one of the justices. If this objectionable member were to the or resign, Mr. Davis says the grand master would work to save the court. To the charge that the court is a fairly proposition, Chief Justice Davis says it is operated at less than one-tenth the cost of the S. C. M., which is really a useless body. The direct charge is made that in every controversy arise, the S. C. M. is found, siding with one faction or another, and that it is not impartial; that members of the order feel that its decisions will be in favor of those who are bound to vote for its members, and that it will punish the man who has strength and manhood enough to stand up for the principles of free government. The court on the contrary, says Davis is not in politics and is in a position to give fair and impartial decisions on questions that come before it. A further criticism by Mr. Davis is that the grand master encourages dissatisfied litigants to write the S. C. M., an executive branch, requesting a review of the decisions of the-Supreme Court; a judicial branch, whose decisions are final and are only to be executed, not reviewed, by the S. C. M. In concluding his letter, Chief Justice Davis says that his defense of the court is not for a place, as he is not a candidate for reappointment. He accepted in the first place because Grand Master Morris urgently insisted. He says: "We have rendered the order the best service that we are capable of rendering. Every decision that we have written breathes justice and equity to every litigant. We have decided every question without, fear or favor, our conscience is clear-aand at case, and we appeal to the brotherhood to give the court a fair trial and to ask themselves this question. Why did a wise man like Morris create a court for himself, and in less than four years desire, to destroy it? What are his motives? PLAINFIELD, N. I. PLAINFIELD, N. J.—The funeral of Mrs. Jas.

The SUDDENLY-FROM ACCIDENT A UNIQUE FIGURE. SAM-CORKER, JR., one of the most conspicuous figures in colored theatrical circles, and well known both in the United States and abroad died suddenly. Monday evening from a compound fracture of the skull, sustained in an accident by falling from a ladder. The report of Mr. Corker's death spread rapidly throughout New York and came as a severe shock, as he had been seen only a few hours before he was injured by friends and acquaintances in apparently good health and in a cheerful mood. The accident occurred at 115 W. 135th street. Unmindful of the fact that his injuries were of serious nature, Mr. Corker walked from the scene of the 176 accident to the harber shop owned by Jesse A. Shipp, at 2283. Seventh avenue. He.complained of not feeling well and Dr. Fitz Xoreon was summoned. A hasty investigation showed that while no flow of blood had been caused by the fall the injury was fatal. All efforts to save the patient's life were unavailing. After an inquiry into the cause of Mr. Corker's death by the coroner the body was taken to the undertaking rooms of G. O. Paris, 116 W. 131st street. Brief funeral services will be held over the remains in the chapel of the undertaking-establishment Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. The body of the deceased will be shipped to Charlesston, S. C., after services, and will be accompanied by Jesse A. Shipp. Sam, Corker, Jr., who was generally regarded as the foremost colored business manager in theatrical circles, was born about thirty-eight years ago in Charleston, S. C. It was his boast that his family was one of the oldest in the State of South Carolina. Sam Corker, Sr., father of the deceased, who has been a seagoing man all his life, is alive in Charleston at the age of 90 years. Only a few weeks ago the elder Corker returned from a long voyage. Coming to New York in 1895, Sam Corker, Jr. showed a fondness for theatricals and he had not been long in the metropolis before he secured a position at old Daly's Theatre as an usher. He first attracted attention in 1897 as business manager for the A Trip to Coontown Company, which was headed by "Bob" Cole and Billy Johnson. Remaining with this aggregation until it disbanded, he next associated himself with "Bob" Cole and J. Rosamond Johnson, who had then joined, hands and were winning success as song writers and in vaudeville. In 1904 Mr. Corker formed for Norman J. Normand the Dahoney Company No. 2, with Avery and Hart as principals. This company was taken to England, where it played the provinces with great success. In 1906, when Cole & Johnson starred in "The Shoofly Regiment," Sam Corker, Jr., served in the capacity of business manager. One of the feats to which he always-pointed with pride was the securing of a big first-page article on Aida Overton Walker in one of the leading dailies of the Middle West during Miss Walker's engagement with The Red Moon Company. Previously white advance agents had attempted many times to "land" big feature stories in the daily papers with the pictures of colored performers, but with no degree of success. With the closing of the Cole & Johnson Company Mr. Corker was next seen as manager of the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, returning to New York shortly after the shutting down of this unique State street house. In recent years the deceased had been identified with numerous theatrical enterprises. Last fall he employed a large number of colored performers for the "Lime Kiln Club" series of motion pictures produced by Klaw, & Erlanger in which Bert A. Williams was, featured. At his death Mr. Corker was actively engaged in promoting the Autumn Exposition, to be held at Manhattan Casino in September. The deceased was single, a Mason, and a charter member of The Frogs. He evinced deep concern in the welfare of the last-named organization and worked zealously to advance its inter- Variety, one of the leading dramatic weeklies in America, printed the following article regarding a colored vaudeville circuit in its last issue: "Active plans are afloat to form a circuit of colored theatres throughout the United States which would have the Lafayette, New York, as the keystone of the proposed chain. The circuit would embune playhouses in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D. C., Richmond, Norfolk, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta; New Orleans, Jacksonville, Fl., Pittsburg, Columbus, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas. "At this time the plans are of a tentative nature, although more tangible developments are expected before the inaugural of another season. "For a long time there has been talk of a colored circuit, but something always cubed up to keep it, from becoming a reality." "The interest is at fever point now and with the right kind of influence Sam Corker, Jr., was a fitting representative of that branch of the theatricals with which few members of the race are identified or conversant—the business end. He enjoyed the distinction of being the first recognized advance agent at the head of a regular-colored attraction and he possessed a valuable fund of information on theatricals of all sorts. It was Sam Corker, Jr., who first advocated that colored shows advertise extensively in colored newspapers. In his death the race loses one who worked incessantly to elevate and dignify the colored American through the medium of the stage. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE The heat and a good bill are looking horns at the Lafayette Theatre this week and to date the good bill has had the better of the encounter, as the attendance has been gratifying to Messrs. Morganstern & Walton. No matter how warm or inclement the weather, the country store, held. Tuesday and Saturday evenings, draws Irage crowds. Amateur night, held every Wednesday, is also gaining in popularity. Harry Stout, violinist, presented a strong opening turn the first half of the week and was followed by the Entertaining Trio, three white dancers, two men and a woman, who scored heavily. Kane, & Ely, attempted to hold down Spot No. 3. Blanche Deas and Maud Jones have back of the movement there should be something doing before long. There are plenty of theatres available for the culmination of the 'project' and sullipopulation in the cities mentioned to give the proper paying patronage. "Just what the policy will be is a matter for future development; it would-probably be a half week of available, with traveling, combinations of theatrical acts, if the circuit materializes there will be great rejoicing among the numerous colored acts and players who are forced to remain idle half of the playing season. Since May, when Martinson & Nilburn have maintained their household on the Lafayette (6th avenue and 131st street) owing to non-payment of a yearly rental of $25,000, Lester A. Walton and another, have had the house, and to all appearances are making it pay. The house is at the edge of the colored restroom, with three colored acts and three white." a nifty act. The skit is refined and entertaining, the young ladies sing and recite in a pleasing manner. The act has been held over for the second half. Kennedy & Parley sing some, funny songs and have some funny talk. The Kratons have one of the best novelty acts in the 'business and Harleen-theatregoers were given an opportunity for the first time to see these big timers'. The Kratons, three in number, carry their own special scenery. Their work with hoops is of high order and went big at each performance. If you want to hear a good little orchestra visit the Lafayette. The Mills Sisters, Crumbley & Davis, Ed Hunter, the 13 U. S. A. Boys, Coryl & Grindel and the 3 Jolly Millers were at the Lafayette the second half of last week. SOFT SHOE SAM IN TOWN. Friday afternoon, August 14, the telephone in The Age office range, and when the call was answered a voice was heard to say "SOFT SHOE SAM HAS ARRIVED!" Inquiry as to the identity of Soft Shoe Sam led to the office of the National Exhibition and Amusement Co. at Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue, which is promoting a mammoth Autumn Exposition and Amusement Advertising Festival at Manhattan Casino- for the five nights from September 28 to October 2. Soft Shoe Sam is a person of mystery. Haunting public places, with certain well-advertised marks of identification, a reward is given to anybody who discovers his identity and makes it known. Soft Shoe Sam will be in New York for five weeks, and the first person each week who discovers his identity will be awarded $S in gold by the National Amusement Co. Last Saturday was his first public appearance on the streets of Harlem, and while many efforts were made to apprehend him, a great turmoil occurred in the him. His opinion of the keenness and shrewdness of the New Yorkers is not very high, as is shown by the following letter from him to the National Amusement Co.: The Letter. New York, Aug. 16, 1914. The National Exhibition and Amusement Co. Manhattan Casino Building, 155th Street 5th Ave, New York City. Gentlemen: So far New York is a joke. According to the agreement between your company and myself, when I arrived in this, city Friday, afternoon, August 14, at the Pennsylvania R. R. Building, called up, the colored newspapers, staying "Soft Shoe Sam has arrived." This being my first trip to New York I, of course, began to make certain inquiry, was directed to the Subway find and instructed on to booking 18th floor staircases and balconies finding my stopping place. After getting into the disguise agreed upon between us—blue suit suit, blue channel shirt, black necklace, black stetson shirt, big shoes and ring presented in my the Guekwar of Haroda. I went out and took in the "slight". This was. Friday night, and it was natural that not being generally expected that evening, I had an early morning well known places in Harlem, and I had the pleasure of coming in indirect contact with many of Harlem's notable colored people. Being colored myself and of the usual ordinary type, I at first thought that I was going to that. That is the secret of my success and believe this town is a cchn. It's easy. Why on Saturday night I walked according to agreement, from 11:31st street and Lenox avenue, west of the street and met a woman crossed over and returned on the opposite side of the street without even being approached with the proper phrase. "In That Indian Summer Time—A Harvest of Good Things," I heard of two beautiful young women ask a police officer on the corner of 11:31st street and Denox avenue, if he thought that a man standing on the opposite side of the street, Sam, and I heard him say, "Why, he, it can't be; that fellow has on a straw hat." A short distance away I saw two men in earnest conversation; one of them I learned was Lawyer James touched him on the arm. I heard a young man say to two golden men in a certain barber shop, "They tell me that if they catch" "Soft Shoe Sam" he won't get paid for his work. "One of the men I met said that is the way of life." Then; younger man said, "Well, do you really think he came out tonight?" Prominent Men Seen on Street. It's a cinch to find out who people are if you know how to go about it. Here is a partial list of some of the prominent whom I managed in one way or another to get close to in my evening walks taken in New York. Richardson, Will H. Vodery, Elmer Lowman, Harrison, Stewart, three of the men interested in The Autumn Expedition Colonizer James L. Curtis, Walter Baker of Chicago (I knew him well in Chicago), John M. Curtis, Larry L. Edwards, Tective, and Fred R. Moore of The New York Age. The following are a few of the places I entered: Between 7 o'clock and 10,30 p. m.; Johnny Venet's Boston Lunch, 14:17 street and Lenox avenue; Harry Griffin's Cafe, '133th street; Vondel's Boston Lunch; Goldgraben's Place; Simon's, corner '133d street and Lenox's Cafe, corner '133d street and Conner's Cafe, '133th street; Lafayette Theatre; Johnny Johnson's, '133d street and 7th avenue; The Associated Barber Shop on 7th avenue; Doyle's Turf Place; The Library; Percy Brown's place.

And another thing — I am going to ext Saturday night, August 22, 1913 "Note.—If you think you see me, don't be timid. I am very gentle. Walk right up and say, 'In That Indian Summer Time' and I will give you Things. Then I will immediately lead you to the place where the Five-Dollar Gold Piece is in the window and all you have to do is sign the papers given to the Papers) saying that 'Soft Shoe Paste' is Remember; 'In That Indian Summer Time, A Harvest of Good Things'."

Motion of Hampton Institute and a party of ten well-known Virginia educators, ministers and business men ended an educational and health campaign in the Shepadoah Valley-of-Virginia on Sunday, August 16. The tour was made under the auspices of the Negro Organization Society, of which Maj. Motion is the president, and was the second annual tour conducted by this society, Better health; better homes, better schools and better farms and business among the colored people of the various sections of the State was the keynote of the speeches made on the trip. Meetings were held at Roanoke, Lexington, Clifton Forge, Covington, Staunton, Harrisonburg, Winchester and Millwood, thus, touching six different counties at their most populous centers. At each place large audiences welcomed the speakers, although the colored population is not so dense in this section as in many parts of Virginia. However, the Negroes of this region are not surpassed in the high average of their intelligence and in the fine quality of their homes and churches. They live on splendid terms with their white neighbors. White people were appreciative members of every assembly. At Winchester Supt, Lynch of the Frederick County public schools delivered the address of welcome to the party. At Clifton Forge the mayor and his council came out to the meeting in a body. Here and at Roanoke, Stamton and Harrisonburg the mayors made the welcome address. While all of them expressed real appreciation of their colored citizens, the mayor of Stamton especially complimented them upon the way they kept their premises, and declared that they gave the health officer less trouble than the whites. And the daily papers were generous with the space given to reports of the meetings. Major Moton's Sane Advice. Maj. Moton was the chief speaker on all occasions. He conned himself mainly to giving sane, wholesome, forceful instruction to the colored people as to the part they must play in the solution of their problems. He pointed out the many advantages enjoyed by them and urged that they prepare themselves to make the most of them. He insisted that Negroes should be 'proud of themselves and respect the race and thereby win the respect of other races. His message was enthusiastically received everywhere. W. T. B. Williams, field director of the Jeanes and Slater funds, spoke on education; Pres. J. M. Gaudy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial-Institute at Petersburg confined himself mainly to matters of health and sanitation; T. C. Erwin of the Dinwiddie Industrial School stated the work of the Negro Organization Society. Among other things, the society has, during the past year, led to the erection of fourteen new school houses, helped in securing sanitary conditions in homes, schools and churches, has written, a health bulletin published by the State Health Department, distributed 85,000 health bulletins and made a number of educational and health tours, about the State. The thing, perhaps, of greatest importance accomplished by this society is its success in unifying the forces at work among the colored people of the State for the general uplift of all the people. The members of Maj. Moton's party were: Maj. R. R. Moton, Hampton Institute; Pres. M. J. Gaudy, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; T. C. Erwin, Dinwiddie Industrial School; E. A. Long, Christiansburg Institute; Mr. Decaur, Manassas Industrial School; W. T. B. Williams, of the Jeanes and Slater Fund; Prof. M. W. Conn, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; the Rev. W. H.

MAKES CORRECTION The officers and members of Bethany. Baptist Church, Brooklyn, have been aroused considerably by the article in THE AGE of August '6 concerning the going to Washington, D. C., of the former pastor of that church, the Rev. H. Powell. Some of the statements concerning his work at that church the officers claim to be inaccurate. At a regular meeting of the church held, August 13, the following letter was formulated and submitted for publication that the public might be made acquainted with the church's side of the case: "We, the members of Bethany Baptist Church, wish to refute that portion of an article published in your paper, dated August 6, 1914, under the heading, 'Pastor Powell Goes to Washington: D. C.,' which read as follows: 'When he (Pastor Powell) took charge of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1908, he found a discouraged congregation, housed in an old dilapidated building out of repair, with a mortgage of $10.280, a book enrollment of 303 members which was found to be less than 100.' "Bethany Baptist Church never worshipped in any dilapidated building, not even when she was a mission. "That the Rev. Mr. Powell did not find a discouraged congregation when he took charge, for we had reduced our mortgage $2,000 after the death of our former pastor, the Rev. J. Francis Blair. This mortgage debt was reduced by the members during the vacancy of our pulpit, so it can be seen that we had more to encourage us than to discourage us. "It is not true that he (Rev. H. Powell) found less than 100 members out of a book of enrollment of 303 for we had more than that; but 303 were our members in good standing. "That when he (Rev. H. Powell) took charge, he found the indebtedness to be $8,000, on mortgage and about $50 on current expense. "Done by order of the church in regular business' session, August 13, 1914. "P M JACOBS.
