Aida Overton Walker, one of the principals of the famous Williams & Walker Co. of bygone days, died at her residence, 107 West 132d street, Sunday THE LATE MRS. AIDA afternoon, October 11, after being confined to her bed for two weeks. Congestion of the kidneys was the cause of her death. Though she only took to her bed on September 28, she had been ailing for a long time, and the disease gradually and insidiously undermined her constitution. She was born February 14, 1880, on West 27th street, New York City, and at the age of 6 entered the theatrical profession with a couple of extreme personal charm, soon placed her in the front ranks of the profession. She was married to the late George Walker, of the team of Williams & Walker, June 22, 1899. Has Been Ailing for Some Time No colored woman in America was better kown or ha a more brilliant list of accomplishments in her particular sphere, and her death came as a tremendous shock to thousands of her friends in New York City who did not even know she was sick. Her intimates have known for some time that Mrs. Walker was far from well, and tell of how she has been gradually growing more and more inclined to exertion, and of how she has been losing her appetite even for favorite dishes. When the shows flashed through the city that, Aida Oyerton Walker was dead many hundreds wimmediately to her late residence, seeking confirmation of the report, yet hoping against hope that it was not true. Her last public appearance was in a vanderbilt act at Haumerstein's Theatre, Sixth avenue and 42nd street, the week of August 3. Her late appearances were under the management of N. S. Lolman.

Aida Overton Walker first attracted attention on the stage with the Black Patti Co., of which she was a member during the season of 1899-97. She was picked out as a performer of great promise, and in 1898 she became affiliated with the Williams & Walker Co., with which the theatrical organization she won name and fame as a soubriet and dancer of great ability. Thousands recall Mrs. Walker's artistic work with the Williams & Walker aggregation, which stood out prominently in "Dahoney," "Abyssinia" and "Bandanna Land." After the closing of the Williams & Walker Co., occasioned by the death of George W. Walker, Mrs. Walker was next seen with the Cole & Johnson Co., during the season of 1908-9, and the next season, 1909-10, she was a member of the Smart Set Co. She appeared in vandeville with success during the season of 1911-12, appearing in the East and West. For the past two seasons Mrs. Walker devoted more of her time to producing acts than to appearing on the stage, and was financially interested in the Porto Rico Girls and the Happy Girls. Aida Overton Walker appeared in recent years in many entertainments in the interest of charity, and her activities were not New York. She was the central figure in entertainments given at Grand Central Palace, the New Star Casino and the Manhattan Casino, all of which were largely at- A OVERTON WALKER tended. The Hope Day Nursery and White Rose Home of New York, the Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, and the Old Folks Home, Chicago, were among the institutions benefited. The last entertainment under Mrs. Walker's management was given at Manhattan Casino August 16, which was a big success. The deceased is survived by an adopted sister, Jessie Overton, an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John Overton, and four cousins, all residing in New York; Mrs. Avelond, an aunt, and Wilhelma Ford, a cousin, of Brooklyn.

The Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People was also remembered EUROPE AND THE CASTLES AND TEMPO CLUB AFFAIR Castles Dance for the Club and Present Bronze Statue of Themselves James Reese Europe Introduces Novel Features at the Manhattan Casino and Amateur Dancers Do Modern Dances in Prize Contest. (BY LUCIEN H, WHITE.) Several thousand people, more or less, assisted James, Reese Europe, Will Tyers, Ford Dabney, Warrick Cheeseman and the rest of the members of the Tempo Club in giving to Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle a royal and rousing reception when, the famous dancers appeared, for the second time at Manhattan Casino under the auspices of the Tempo Club. This second appearance of the Castles was made at the second concert and dance of the Tempo boys, which was held Tuesday night, October 13. Castles Present Bronze Statu.e to Club Not only did the Castles do their most attractive, and interesting dances, but at the end of their performance Mr. Castle advanced to the front of the stage and in a felicitous manner, with words appreciative of the services rendered by Mr. Europe and his orchestra, prescended a brone statue of himself and Mrs. Castle, showing them in a characteristic tango pose. The presentation took the boys by surprise, and when the audience enthusiastically called on Europe for a speech in response the best the talented composer and conductor could do was to call on the orchestra to help him out by playing the "Castle Walk," a Europe composition composed for and dedicated to the Castles. While this was being played, Europe pulled himself together and when the orchestra stopped playing he voiced the thanks of himself, and orchestra for the uniform consideration and courtesy received from the Castles. Mr. Castle paid a distinct compliment to the Tempo Club when he said that the music for some of his dances could only be played by Europe's orchestra, and consequently those dances had to be omitted from his program when that orchestra was not available. Prize-Winning Amatour Dancers. The Castles made themselves popular with the amateur dancers by offering two massive silver-loving cups as trophies to be awarded the best exponents of the one-step and of the hesitation waltz, Mr. and Mrs. Castle personally suprising and judging the contest. The cups have been on exhibition for the past two weeks; first at Matthathan Casino during the Autumn Festival, and later in the window of the cigar store next the Lafayette Theatre. Many envious looks had been cast upon them and so when the dance contest began the Castles, had their hands full. There was no dearth of contestants. More than twenty couples entered for the hesitation waltz, and this, after several elimination trials, was awarded to Mrs. Josephine Ford Jackson and Edward Parker, 592 Lenox avenue. The one-step contest brought out a half-hundred couples, and five elimination trials were necessary before the cup was awarded to Moges Rogers, 43 West 131st street, formerly of Kittrell, N. C., and Mrs. Anita Williams, 3 Fisher avenue. White Bains, N. Y. Of course, there were some disappointed dancers and their friends, who thought the awards should have been different, but Mr. Castle announced beforehand that the decision would represent their opinion only, and that others might differ. Novelty Feature of Program. Preceding these interesting events, the Tempo Club orchestra, with James Reese Europe and William H. Tyers as conductors, rendered a program which was enjoyed by the almost by the huge audience. In addition to the exceptionally capable manner in which the program was rendered, a novel surprise was sprung upon the audience in the seventh and eighth numbers. "The Deseration of at Photo-Film" was the programmed title of the sixth number, and it represented a moving picture reproduction of a consultation between Europe, Dahney and Tyers on weight Tempo Club affairs. The seventh number was the most unique and surprising novelty which has been sprung on a New York audience. It was "untitled "The Tempo Club Surprise". The orchestra turned to face the stage and played the "Castle-Walk" while a photo-film reproduction of Europe conducting the number was projected on the screen. The audience showed appreciation of the novel surprise by a surge of unnoxious applause. Two infesting numbers were, the "Fox Trot," a new creation, by Europe and Dalhousie, dedicated to the Castle, and "Flora" (a value charming). Europe's latest production "The fox trot" number is a characteristic affair, with the rhythmic and tempting lilt Europe has developed lately, insidiously capturing and also patting the foot and lifting the shoulder. "Flora" is one of the most charming waltz numbers Europe has ever written. There is a wealth of harmony embodied in it, based on a melody of sweetness and symmetry. The THURSDAY, OCT. 15, 1914. JAMES REEDS EUROPE injunqaq Arenonom minouou isy and leaves a haunting refrain running through one's head. A lot of people will be humming a strain of vagrant melody without realizing that Europe has put "Fiora" in their subconsciousness. Tyers, Writes a splendid Number. Another number which attracted the interest and enthusiasm of the music lovers was "Admiration," a Negro idyl, by Will Tyers. The orchestral arrangement of this number only served to emphasize its musical worth. Many catchy orchestral numbers have no value when arranged for the instrument for solo numbers, but not so with "Admiration." Tyers shows in nearly every thing he produces that his ideals are not initiated by the demand for ragtime and flimsy popular music. While catering to a popular demand he serves it musical food that tends to elevate the taste of the masses, and he is, in no small degree, educating the people to an appreciation of better than the ordinary music. After the amateur contest had been concluded the floor was given over to what was denominated the first modern dance ball ever held in New York City. The Temp Club orchestra played and the dance order included one-step hesitations, fox trots, the maxiise, tango, a spot dance, during which five boxes of Huyler's candies were given away, and the Tempo ribbon dance, an adaptation of the serpentine. The following was the program rendered by the orchestra and Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle: 1 a. "The Castle Walk, Europe and Denmark" 2 b. "Admiration" (a Negro style) 3 m.

PQWELL NOW A WASHINGTON PASTOR Special to Tigz New York, Akz WASHINGTON, Oct. 14—During forty-five years of existence Liberty-Baptist Church has had four pastors, the Rev. Edward, Willis, the Rev. Isaac Toliver, both of whom are dead, and the Rev. Holland Powell, who was called in July and installed during services from September 27 to October 6. Beginning Sunday, September 27, at 3:30 p. m., a series of sermons were delivered by the pastors of various churches of the city, accompanied by their choirs, and many of their members. Tuesday night, October 6: the pastors of the city and their wives were present, the pastor programmed the main auditorium. At the close the ministers and their wives, led by the pastor and his wife, repaired to the Sunday School room downstairs. The room had been converted into a dining hall; the walls and columns of which were decorated with a color scheme of orange-yellow and blue, and the interspace set with carnations. The table was set with pure white linen, studded with choice flowers and groomed, as it were, under the weight of well prepared and life sustaining edibles.

CAROLINA 50 White Men Visit Home and Warn Him to Leave before the Sun Goes Down SEEKS AID IN ASHEVILLE Forced to Abandon Family and Large Farm, Governor New and Son, Penniless and in a strange Section, Seeks Means to Secure Redress. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE ASHENVILLE, N. C., Oct. 13. The savings of a lifetime invested in a tract of 121% acres of farming land in Greenwood County, S. C., Governor New, anaged Negro, and his son are in Asheville, refugees from home because of the threats made by a party of fifty white men who visited the New home a few days ago, gave the two men railroad tickets to Spartanburg, and told them that South Carolina was too small to hold them and that they must not allow another day's sun to go down over them in that State. Old Man and Son Leave Home. The old man and his son were given, they say, money to pay railroad fares to Hendersonville, N. C., but when that place was reached they were afraid to stop and came on to Asheville, reaching here penniless. The old man sought out a local attorney and begged him to devise some plan by which his condition could be alleviated. He said that his farm is entirely surrounded by the holdings of white people, and that a short time ago a white man offered him $4,000 for his place, which offer he refused. The farm now has 12,000 pounds of cotton on it, together with eight acres of corn. Following the visit of the white-capers, the Negros were so frightened they feared to take time to dispose of their holdings or to tell the other members of their families. Several croppers are on the old man's place, and he fears they may have been driven off, too. It may be that his property will be destroyed or seized by the ruthless ruffians and his family, sent off in another direction. When the suggestion was made to him that he might be able to return without molestation to his-farm, he refused to consider it, saying that "in South Carolina, when they tell a Negro to leave, they mean it." White Attorney Interested in Cases The attorney to whom New made his appeal has interested himself and called in others of his white friends, and he will make an effort to get the matter before Governor Blease of South Carolina with the hope of getting aid for the old man and bringing the alleged white-cappers to justice. The attorney declared that he intends to put forth his best efforts in behalf of the unfortunate Negro, and he believes that his appeal will be favorably considered by the chief executive of the Palmetto State. He expresses belief in the Negro's story and has asked for descriptions of some of the men who formed the party.

HOLT PEACE SERVICE The parade of harlem were interested and cared for their duty to promote peace in the members and friends of the Immaculate Church, 105 West Street, the R.E. R. M. Bolden, pass were principal in a great peace institution, comprising a street parade and peace services held at the Latitude Plaza, Sunday at 10,30 a.m. The parade is the theatre and marched through lascifer street to Fifth avenue, thence north to 15th street, west on 135th street to Seventh avenue and south to the theatre. The parade was led by the Rev. Mr. Bolden, Messrs. Bogan, Himmel and Hawkins and a detail of police, William Tawney, chief of the church, carried the Emmanuel flag, which was its first public appearance. J. Humphrey, superintendent of the Sunday School, bore the American flag. The Misses Cora Elliott and Bessie Robinson displayed a banner inserted with the angelic peace proclamation. The procession stopped in front of the Crescent Hall on 135th street, where the First Emmanuel Church, was organized September, 1913, and where the congregation worshipped for six months, and open air services were held in the presence of a large crowd. Led by Pastor Bolden all trained in the familiar hymns, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and "Where He May Lead Me I Will Follow." The Peace Service Sermon. At the Lafayette the Rev. R. M. Bolden, in preaching the peace sermon, said: "Our Lord of Life declared in simple words that He did not come in this world to bring peace. Many of the preachers and teachers know better; in fact, the nature of their occupation make them agitators, disturbers of existing social order, reformers, revolutionists and courters of either mental or physical matryrdom. "We believe it is our duty to speak out, cry aloud what Jesus the Immaculé said: Think not that I am, come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And man his loes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and more than the loveth son daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And He that taketh not his cross, and followth after me, is not worthy of Me. He that taketh the He shall lose it, and that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.' Matthew 10: 34-39. "In view of these things, those of us who know ourselves as workers together with God are endeavoring to have the people carefully read and under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit think for themselves upon the sayings of Our Lord. The ministry of societies called churches have either ignorantly or willfully distorted the truth of The Immanuel our Master and Lord. This perversion produces confusion and doubt among men. "Physical man is made in the form of a cross, symbolizing that his will crossed the will of God, because God so loved us he clothed himself into this cross, form, and for the sin of man, which was the will of man crossing the will of God, through suffering and human will death brought all who will believe that he did into the will of our Heavenly Father. "The state into which believers find themselves is that of eternal life, and that life is spiritual. This is the life where eternal happiness and peace is; this is the life that counts; this is the life that is real. In this life we do not strive; we serve and we are served. In this life there is no competition because the storehouses of love and energy supply, every need of our Father's children. In this life jealousy, covetousness, selfishness, greed and hatred cannot enter. There is only one rule all in love. "This is the place where we will have peace and the only place upon this earth. Jesus was a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. His sayings aroused the highest leaders in His country and made them his bitterest tracing enemies. His holy living and kindliest service made Him the object and victim of physical violence. We know, that the truth that he put among men claims a devotion and affection so intense that we look and act with contempt and hatred upon any one' or thing, even our own if it gets between Himself and us. It is not peace we should pray for. But the will of God be done on earth as in-heaven." The music was rendered by the First Emmanuel Church choir, Mrs. A. C. Jackson, chorister and Mrs. M. E. Hollow, pianist, supported by the Ladies Orchestra of Martin and Smith Music School. Many visitors were present upon the platform among whom was James Edward of Baltimore, grand treasurer of the Order of Moses, who made favorable comment of the sermon. Thanka Theatre Management. D pastor: Tilden and members of his church thanked Messrs. Morganstern and Walton for permitting the use of the theatre and advertising the services.

LEADING NEBRO PRICE FIVE CENTS CENSUS BUREAU AND NEGRO FACTS Bulletin Issued Giving Population and Wealth Statistics from Last Census More than a Billion Dollars Represented in Farm Properties, Twofold Increase in Ten Years. WOMEN OUTNUMBERED MEN Men only 98.9 to 100 Women, the Negroes being the only Race in the United States with more women than men. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14.—Figures are just available from the Census Bureau which give information concerning the number and distribution of the Negroes of the United States, their rate of increase, their sex and age distribution and their marital relation. A bulletin will be issued by William J. Harris, director of the Census, Department of Commerce, giving these statistics in detail, at an early date. Increase in Negro Population. The census taken in 1910 shows that the present Negro population of the United States was 9,827,763, or 10 per cent of the total population. The decade from 1900 to 1910 showed an increase in negro population of 11.2 per cent, which growth comes entirely from natural increase, while the 20.8 per cent growth of the white population was accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and the high birth rate in immigrant families. An interesting fact shows that the increase in value of farm property operated by Negroes, which was more than twofold during the decade. The total number of Negroes by nurses 1910 was 893,370; of this number 218,972 were operated by their owners, 672,964 by tenants, and 1,434 by managers. The increase in number of farms owned by Negroes was 31,175, or 16.6 per cent, while the increase in tenants increased by 115,790, or 20.8 per cent. The value of farm property operated by Negroes in 1900 was $499,941,000, while in 1910 the value had increased to $1,144,181,000, an increase of more than 100 per cent. There were 1906,727 Negro males and 1,050,849 females engaged in agriculture; Negroes Had More Women That Men. The report will show that in 1910 the Negroes were the only race in the United States in which there were more females than males. There were 4,885,881 Negro males and 4,941,882 Negro females, the number of males thus being 98.9 to 100 females. Negro males of voting age in the United States numbered 2,458,873, while the number of females of voting age was 2,427,742. Nearly four-fourths, or 72.6 per cent, of the Negroes were rural dwellers, with only 27.4 per cent, in the cities. Most of the rural dwellers are in the South, while the city dwellers predominate in the North and West. Of the 2,053 counties in the United States there are only 110-in which there were no Negroes. There were 53 counties in which the Negro population composed 75 per cent. of the total, and 263 counties in which 50 per cent. was Negro. Illiteracy among the Negroes decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 30.4 in 1910. The death rate decreased from 29.4 in 1900 to 25.5 in 1910. INSURANCE MEN JOIN Special to THE NEW YORK AQR BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 13.—The annual reunion of the representatives and district managers of the Atlanta-Alabama Special Benefit Company, a Negro insurance organization, was attended by more than 200 employees of the company from all sections of the State. E W. Howell, president, opened the meeting. The members of the reunion authorized the purchase of a half of cotton at teens per pound, this being the first Negro organization in the State to join this popular movement for the protection of teh farmer. Addresses hearing intimately upon the wor kof insurance men and its relation to the life of the Negro were discussed. Judge Alvin M. Douglass, recorder of Birmingham, made a strong address to the assemblage at the close of the meeting. The Atlanta-Alabama Special Benefit Company is one of the youngest Negro insurance organizations, but during its four years' existence has made a remarkable record. It recently purchased the business of the Jefferson Insurance Company, a white concern, doing industrial insurance largely among Negroes, and since its organization has acquired the business of three concerns, purchasing two of them outright. Special to The New York Adj. New Orleans, La., Oct. 12.—To indicate some of the results of Railroad Day, as inaugurated by Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, Ala., attention is called to a communication addressed by C. Marshall, superintendent of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, New Orleans, La., to Robert E. Jones and Walter L. Cohen, who represented the colored people of New Orleans in presenting their complaints to the railroad authorities located in New Orleans. Gentlemen: In answer to, your courteous communication of June 8, I beg to say, I number of our coaches, practically all in the through train service, are equipped with two toilets and a small smoking room. Much of the coaches as are not so equipped will be altered as they are sent to the shops for overhauling. 3. The arrangement with regard to meals for our colored patrons, now in effect, seems to be satisfactory to them, which is to serve the meals in the diving car, after the white passengers; or, if requested, to send the meals to the coach or sleeper. 4. The cause of complaint relative to the transfer at Nashville on No. 4 has been remedied. 5. Our passenger department is carefully considering some method of accommodations in the sleeping cars for the colored travel, but, as yet I am unable to say what will be done in this respect. 6. We will endeavor to remedy the matter of the section hards being in coaches or compartments, assigned to our colored patrons; in some cases, however—emergencies—it cannot be avoided. 7. I beg your patience until we can work out more fully these measures; I rely upon your believing that we earnestly desire to do every thing possible in this direction. The spirit of the above letter shows that a great gain has been made as a result of presenting, in a manly, straightforward way, to the railroad authorities the complaints of the colored people of this section. Reports from other parts of the country are to the effect that the railroad authorities, in nearly every case, have listened with sympathetic interest to the petitions which have been presented to them.

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. BOOKER T.

The Ace takes pleasure in announcing to its many readers that JAMES W. JOHNSON, well known in literary circles, is now connected with this paper as contributing editor. MR. JOHNSON needs no introduction to the public as he has been in the limelight in one way or another for many years. Mr. Johnson's contributions have appeared in the Century Magazine, the Independent and the New York Times. "One of his latest literary efforts to attract general attention is "The Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man." Aside from his works as a litterateur, Mr. Johnson served as United States Consul at Corinto, Nicaragua for many years, which post he most creditably filled up to the Wilson administration, when he voluntarily tendered his resignation. We feel sure that Mr. Johnson's contributions, which will appear in the AGE weekly, will be chock full of interest-and valuable information, and that their appearance will be eagerly looked forward to. FIGHTING GRAFT IN THE CHURCH. The following letter addressed to the editor of THE AGE, was received from one of the most prominent colored ministers in the country: "My Dear Sir— "I received the papers, but did not receive any bill for them. However, I am enclosing a check for $5 in payment. "Your stand for righteousness is one of the most effective and telling sermons that has been delivered in many a day. The graft is in the distribution of the money belonging to the poorest but most deserving persons in the ministry ranks. "I shall send you a short statement of facts that will reveal the iniquity of the system. May God bless you and your great paper. I could use about five copies or ten copies of the 17th September if I had them. "Yours faithfully." This is a letter that commands our special attention for several reasons: first of all, is the great prominence and wide influence of the writer. The opening paragraph of the other is one calculated to bring joy to any editorial heart. There are so many people who fail to consider money due to a newspaper as a legitimate debt that to receive a check in payment even before a bill is rendered is something that produces a sensation very close to a jovious prostration. The main part of the letter is extremely heartening. THE AGE has always stood for righteousness and will continue to do so, but such words of encouragement and appreciation strengthens us in our determination. In our fight against a certain class of ministers and heads of fraternal organizations we are making no fight against our churches or our fraternities, we are only attacking an evil that is entirely too prevalent. We are immodest enough to confess that our course is one that requires courage, but, even though it makes us some enemies, we shall continue to follow it so long as there are dishonest and corrupt men in charge of affairs in the great organizations that constitute the heart of our body social. THE CANDIDATE WHO SQUARES UP TO REQUIREMENTS. It is still, and will be for some time to come, more important to the colored voter to know what a candidate's attitude is toward the Negro than to know how he stands on questions affecting the general public. It is more important for him to know how a candidate feels regarding the doctrine of the equal rights of men than to know what he thinks about the tariff. The colored voter is more concerned about a candidate's uprightness of soul and bigness of heart than about the correctness of his political and economic views. When men in office are opposed to the Negro, and show it in their interpretation and execution of the law and in the moulding of sentiment, it matters very little to the colored voter what their other-policies may be. That we are compelled to be governed by such considerations is regrettable, but it is, nevertheless, true. Like other citizens, we ought to be in a position to be guided in making our political decisions solely by the large local and national issues before us and the policies of the various parties and candidates, regarding them; but the fact is, at present, that the greatest issue before the Negro is his own salvation. By what must the colored voter be guided in settling upon a candidate? He must be guided either by the candidate's outspoken sentiments on the doctrine of human rights as it affects the Negro or by his record on the same. It may seem a narrow position to take, but in this mode of arriving at a decision there is never any danger of choosing an inferior candidate; for whenever a man, in the face of opinion in this country, can rise to the height of believing in fair play and treatment for the Negro, when he has the courage to express that conviction and the nerve to carry it into practice, we may be doubly sure that he is the kind of man best fitted for any high trust. The above being true, the colored voters of New York will be in no doubt as to which of the gubernatorial candidates in the coming elections should receive their support. CHARLES S. WHITMAN is the only one among them that squares up to our special requirements for a candidate. He does not come before us with untested sentiments but with an established record. The first fact in Mr. Whitman's record, as it directly appeals to the colored voter, is that he is a Republican of Republican ancestry. It is a sad thought that the term Republican has lost some of its ancient magical charm; nevertheless, it is still prima facie evidence of good will toward us. A candidate bearing any other brand is always justly open to espionage. His immediate appointment, after his election in 1909, of Mr. Cornelius W. McDougall as an Assistant District Attorney proves that Mr. Whitman, not only believes that, the Negro should be protected before the law, but also that he is entitled to representation and participation in the administration of the government. Nor can it be said that this appointment was in payment of any political debt, for Mr. Whitman's election was all along a conceded certainty on which the entire colored vote had little or no effect; and the appointee was a young man fresh from his studies, who, up to that time had not had the opportunity to render political service. But had the appointment been made solely in payment of a political debt—and political debts, like all others, should be paid—credit would still be due to the man who had the integrity to pay it. It is well known that for many years the clubbing of colored men under arrest was a popular diversion of the police of this city. Various ineffective orders by various officials had been issued, but it was not until Mr. Whitman rigorously prosecuted three policemen for assault that the outrageous custom was completely stopped. However, it was in the Lyric Theatre that he struck at a deep-rooted wrong against the Negro which is of so long standing that it has come to be regarded as right. It was in this case that he showed supreme moral courage, for he was treading on forbidden ground. A colored gentleman and lady holding orchestra tickets for a performance at the Lyric Theatre were refused their seats. The usual procedure heretofore has been for the injured party to swallow his treatment or go to the expense of a civil suit in which he might be awarded damages of one dollar as balm for his wounded feelings. In this instance, complaint was made to the District Attorney's office. Mr. WHITMAN at once had the assistant treasurer of the theatre arrested, charged with a violation of the civil Rights Bill, tried and convicted. In this case, he tackled the most inflated hugaboo and, at the same time, the most humiliating wrong connected with the entire race question, the idea that a colored person, no matter how well dressed or behaved, may be debarred with impunity from places of public accommodation and entertainment. It is a fickle point, and a man of less courage would have avoided touching it. And it is a point that can be finally settled only by a realization being brought to prejudiced people that the law will not tolerate any such discrimination. Mr. WHITMAN took the only effective step toward bringing about that realization—a criminal prosecution. These are some of the facts which indicate how the man stands on the question of the greatest importance to us, the question of equal rights for all citizens. Then there is the man himself, clean cut, clear-eyed, firm-jawed, active and vigorous, a born fighter; this would make him a valuable champion for us, even if he only decided to let us alone, to do us no harm; but he is not a mere neutral, his record shows that he will fight for the principle that a Negro has equal rights before the law with other citizens, and this makes his championship invaluable. Looking over the entire field, CHARLES S. WHITMAN presents himself as the only candidate for Governor who squares up to the colored voter's requirements, the only one who has a special claim on the support of the Negro. THE AFTER RESULTS OF THE GREAT WAR. When the first shock of the great war passed, thoughtful minds all over the world began to speculate upon what the after results will be. In most parts of the world they are speculating upon the political results; upon what changes will be made in the map of Europe, upon what territory will be given to or taken from this or that nation and upon what new alliances will be formed. In the United States, true to our national genius, we are speculating upon what it will mean to us in dollars and cents. We colored Americans might well interest ourselves in speculating upon what this war will finally mean for those engaged in it who are racially and nationally in positions similar to our own. It is quite probable that Russia will not forget the Jews, who are fighting so valiantly in her ranks; nor that England will fail to remember the much needed assistance being given by her native Indian regiments. France is already the only one among the great nations which has reached that high plane of civilization on which a man is judged by merit and not by color, but even she will receive a new baptism of the spirit of "Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood" through the brave and brilliant conduct of her black troops from North and West Africa. No one can foretell what the outcome will be; but, pierhaps, after all, the oppressed peoples will come out of this titanic struggle as the only real victors. TO RUSTEM BEY. But, Respect Brief, you had them wincing. When in your manner so convincing. You stated what you thought of latching Compared to what they do in Turkey. A DEFINITION Face prejudice is an endeavor on the part of one affected to appropriate to himself superiority which is unmerited, and to such a one is entitled to a sense of superiority, the more likely it try to attain it by showing the man next to him down rather than lifting himself up. EDITORIAL NOTES Judged by all the standards white people must Negro in his relations to cripple housewives needs volunteers for Trinkeee Institute and Macon County in which it is located, that the school has a poultry outfit of 2,500 chickens, with all the up-to-date Trills needed in chicken raising, cared for by the students of the poultry division, and automatically protected by the honesty of the neighborhood and without the assistance of the police. *President CARANZA has* followed Presidents IUHENA and DIAZ of Mexico into exile and President CARANZA now rules the vanished empire of the Astecas. General VILLA, who helped General CARANZA to drive out the others and to get the questionable rule of the unhappy country with the active sympathy and support of the government of the United States, "sulks in his tent," and may go on "the war path," as "the heap big Injury" is prone to do when things go wroUG, with him. Strenuous efforts are being made to get General VILLA to "the good," and not make, more trouble for Mexico. It is not a small thing to expect a bad man like General VILLA to be good. If Jack Johnson, ever gets the chance to a French private to face a German machine gun, he will hear some things he did not hear at Reno four years ago, when he whipped Jim Jermies. The Chicago rumor that made Johnson a Colonel before he had been accepted as a private in the French army was started by a black and not a white yellow journal, which shaves that Negro journalism is making progress in publishing the news, whether it has happened or not, because the reader expects it and must have it. The same paper started the rumor that Roscoe CONKLING MURRAY SIMMONS was dead while he was still "chasing the stars in their courses" at Memphis. The Canadian Government has denied the right of three hundred East Indian citizens of Great Britain to land from a steamship in British Columbia and to settle in Canada. They remained on their steamship, in the harbor of Victoria, three months, while the Canadian Government debated the question. It is said that a wealthy Hindu took that method of testing the question involved in their rights as citizens of Great Britain. The question decided is that native subjects of Great Britain are citizens of their own country, but not of any other country under the British jurisdiction which may consider them as "undesirable." Much trouble is expected to grow out of the rulings, as it affects the citizenship of native Anatomes of all the British dependencies. Little Japan, as the city of Great Britain, jumped into this European war by peremptorily demanding that Germany give up everything she 's in the Far East or fight. Americans were much shocked by the Union nature of Japan's demands. The American sense of gravity is often humorous. Has not the German 'War Lord been abusing Great Britain during the past decade for forming an alliance with Japan because it is not a white race? What do the Americans expect Japan will take to them when it has the advantage to have an alliance? They have beaten and undeterred, the Japanese more scandalously than the Germans have. You can't make enemies of friends and have friends of enemies. The yellow and the black and colored races have just begun to think. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY The Colored Man in Politics. To the Editor of The Age: What to do just now in politics and how to do it seems to be one among the chief questions which at the present time awaits the colored man's solution. Will some brave and wise colored man please advise and counsel, in the midst of the terrible political times, the wise and righteous political steps for the colored people to take? Please let well well advised, some well informed colored man speak. And remember in million colored people write. Would it be wise to investigate the whole field of politics, with the end in view of ascertaining which political party existent is best qualified to cure the very serious economic and social affair? Are the principles of any of the existing parties deep enough and righteous enough to establish and maintain a condition of peace, plenty and happiness for the human race on the earth? Are any of the political parties now existing making a rational decision about the establishment of "Peace on earth and good will among men"? "If so, then which political party is making this effort and how? What is wrong with the existing economic and political comedy? In these days of political extracism and general economic unrest and uncertainty, where is the colored philosopher and leader of men who are the million and million waiting colored people out of the existing economic and political wilderness? "The writer would be very pleased to hear from some colored man who is interested in acquiring and suggestions; from some colored man whose 'experience' and 'intellectual equipment and ethical nature' are such as to authorize the expression of an opinion on these questions and interests, interested in and who hopes for and works for the economic and political peace, welfare and happiness of all the people, without regard to race or color or creed or religion, to wage or wage or existing or prevailing condition. JOHN W. GAINES Little Rock, Ark. Newspaper. Men. of the B. M. C. To the Editor of. The Age. While the big B. M. C. of the colored Odd Fellows of this and adjacent lands is now only a matter of history, a very important element in its observance was the wretched treatment, of the various newspaper and press representatives assigned to write up the convention doings. The white Boston dailies refused to publish 'anything that could be catalogued as news of any particular interest to the Oyster Fellows' fraternity and no one could blame them. They sent reporters, to cover this convention but the treatment accorded newspaper men caused a sudden order to "let the colored people and their big time alone." With a few exceptions the colored newspaper men received, the same treatment from the supposed head Boston officials having the arrangements in land. Had there been a press committee with a live, up-to-date official 'at its head,' the white, local dailies along 'public' lines, would have been far different. Drawing the lines against them was a serious take on the part of the Boston B. M. C. committee of 'arrangement and doubtless by this time the Boston Negroes have found it out. Officials should have appointed a press committee as one of the important committees, so that 'the newspaper' men could do their part toward making the celebration a success. The leading white conventions have press committees who say that the newspaper men have all factual knowledge of the news. Negro conventions must up and do likewise or they will realize they now do at Boston, that they make a serious mistake in not recognizing the power of the press. We need the powerful influences at all times of the white dallies and we should cease to discriminate against them or their reporters. EUGENE A. WATSON. Providence, R. L. Reading Negro Newspapers. To the Editor of The Age: For quite a while I have been engaged in selling Negro newspapers, newspapers and otherwise urging our people to read if I tell the truth, I will say that I have not had a smooth soil on the ground. The man who talks politics or religion hit the "bull's eye" nine times, in ten, while the man who lectures to our newspapers is the importance of reading Negro newspapers to the "bull's eye" seven times in ten. A majority of the young men and women I have approached on the subject of reading Negro newspapers tell me they have no time to read newspapers, they say, "I cannot find any news," they say, "Negro newspaper." This seems to be the concensus of opinion of most of the young men and women who I have approached on the subject of reading Negro newspapers. A change of sentiment should and must be brought about. But how it shall be done is the rub. I have a suggestion to make and it is this: Philanthropic Neerroos in every community where a Negro news organization should give the editor a charity fund to mail to every school principle a bundle of fine Negro newspapers to be read by the pupils in the school-room once each week. If the teacher is in the spread of Negro news will result in the spread of Negro news to the homes of Neerroos, a thing that must be done, if we ever hope to mould public sentiment into the hearts of the Neerroos of this country through the Neerroos of this country through the startling to know how many Negro news and women leave school without reading a Negro newspaper, or having had the importance of it impressed upon the whole in school. The habit of an education within itself, and he or she will listen it, can safely be depended upon as before a ready thinker and a ready speaker on almost any current event of the day. Booker T. Washington's expression, I would say to newspaper editors: Lower your newspaper hustle into our school houses. My opinion is, it will be like broad cast upon the waters to be seen after many days.

REGISTRATION DAYS Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, are the days set apart for the registration of voters in New York; the voter registration numbers must be registered on October 16 or 17. No voter, regardless of party, should register without fail and thus be no longer to vote for the candidate of their choice. city offers to the race for industrial and commercial development, and an economic independence is not exceeded by any other city in the country, and equaled by but few. Memphis is a commercial feeder for three States—Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. The white captains of industry here have realized their potential by taking their into the three named States, and in return for their output securing capital to further develop and beautify this strategic business gateway. There are sixty thousand Negroes in this city; and employment for all, for Memphis is a great manufacturing center that utilizes Negro labor in preference to the Negro-sponsored grasslands of the Latin countries. Beale street, the principal Negro business street, is lined with Greek restaurants of doubtful sanitation, whose patrons are exclusively Negroes; and Jewish new and second-hand stores, whose sales are made, exclusively to the Negro race, to none of whom they give employment. Memphis numbers among her race men some strong, some weak, and some who harmoniously cooperated, would make this city the pacemaker for all Negro communities. I have visited Memphis three times within the past year and regretfully observed the lack of team work on the part of the race. Race men in accord, and race men in opposition, frankly told me, without solicitation, that factional differences which ought not to exist, and that lack of ordinal cooperation alone prevented the proper development of the possibilities lying all about them. Memphis is more a city of individual efforts than co-operative efforts, in so far as the race is concerned. The individual efforts have counted for much, but co-operative efforts would, count for more. I repeat that Memphis has some strong race men, earnest race men, and men who are actually doing—men like Terrell, Dr. Bentley, Attorneys like Booth, Messrs. Clauson, Saunders, Scott: Roddy, Ward, and others whom I might name. Were these men and others to come together in an effective business organization, pool their issues and co-operate. Memphis would become, for the Negroes of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, what it is for the whites of the three named States—a commercial and co-operative dotted with retail stores, but wholesale and manufacturing, establishments, owned and controlled and manned by men of the race, would be inspired into existence: Negro. Business. Should Co-operate. There are two substantial and well-conducted Negro banks in Memphis—the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Co., the oldest of the two financial institutions, and the Fraternal Savings Bank. We these two banks to merge they command a larger working capital, draw a vastly larger number of individual depositors, and be in position to make amply secured loans, that would develop Negro business enterprises in this city. Not only this, but a bank formed by the merging of the two would give employees and women of the race than do the two now working as separate institutions. Menphis presents a wonderful field for Negro operation and co-operation—a practically limitless field. If some race man there, unaffiliated with any of the inharmonious factions, or man from the outside with a capacity for business, he would enter the field, and by a master stroke cement erstwhile factions. Beale street for a full mile or more would be lined with Negro business houses whose employees would be all Negroes, and some of the crossing and parallel streets would be enlivened by Negro houses. Until very recently Memphis Negro Business League as insensitive. I have noted that every city that maintains a live, active business league there was to be found cooperative efforts which resulted in the establishment and maintenance of many business enterprises; that where no business organization existed there you would be minimistic rather than the maximistic business organization becomes a clearing house for business ideas, and a stimuli to co-operation. The race owns and occupies some sorible residences in Memphis, the Clauson house on the aristocratic and beautiful boulevard, the homes of Thomas K. H. Hayes, Robert Church, Joseph Settle and Mr. Saunders being conscious because of their beauty and amilless. Memphis is not behind other in the possession of a lack of capital being in the possession of the race, but rather because the capital is not working in unison. Robert Church is a wonderfully aggressive man possessing great means, and the energy of youth. Thomas H. Hayes is another energetic and successful business man who has amassed considerable of this world's goods. Messrs. Clauson and Saunders, and several others I have name, have made great success as individual to be hoped that the recently revived business league of Memphis will institute a business revival, among the race; that it will open the opening of, and patronage for, some or more cakes, furnished and equipped and managed in a style reflecting credit upon a community of sixty thousand Negroes. to take the place of the filthy Greek-owned, eating houses that have owned the color june. Not only this, but more Negro-owned and conducted theatre shows should replace the ones which now gather in the sheckles from the race, and some large retail stores, drieshops, shoe and various other stores which will give employment to young men and women of the race will soon be established. More Than a Million Dollars in Cash Idle. The race in Memphis only has **no** put down the bucket where they are to start to working the more than 2 million of idle money deposited in the banks of Memphis to the credit of Negroes, and to the value the more than three million of idle estate held by the race here. Memphis has a business revival among the race for a business the possibilities offered to the race for industrial and commercial development, the economic independence is hardly equaled by any other city in all South- BAYONNE, N.J.

DOGGET, Secretary THE opening concert given by the Music School Settlement for Colored People, under the supervision of J. Rosamond Johnson, at the new home of the school, 4 and 6 West 131st street, on Thursday evening, October 8, was one of the most satisfactory ever heard in the city and evoked genuine enthusiasm and praise. Long before the program began hundreds of anxious music lovers were turned away owing to the inability of the two concert rooms to hold the vast throng that had assembled. The program opened with Rachmannoff's "Pre- J. H. J. ROSAMOND JOHNSON lude in C Sharp Minor" by J. Rosamond Johnson. Mr. Johnson's selection was a happy choice and the prelude proved a splendid vehicle for the display of his rare gifts, both musically and technically. His style of playing is so unaffected, so chaste in its simplicity, that a better performance of the Rachmanoff "Prelude" could scarcely be imagined. He was recalled many times, and finally responded with Mendelssohn's "Song for Piano, op.30." Later on the program Mr. Johnson sang with great breadth of style and much vocal fluency one of his own unperishable compositions, "Lit'l Gal." This song brought out his unusual enunciation and special talent for singing characteristic racial songs. Miss Mattie Harris, a pupil of Mr. Johnson, sang "The Awakening" by J. Roseamd Johnson. Miss Harris was in fine voice and good humor and gave abundantly of those rare gifts which nature has so lavishly bestowed upon her, and if she continues to study will carry her very far in her chosen profession. "Dawn" by Nevins, arranged for violin, "cello and piano" by J. Rosamond Johnson, "Moments Musical" by Schubert and "Since You Went Away" by J. Rosamond Johnson were played in finished style by Messis, Jeter, Weir and Johnson. "Since You Went Away" revealed the beautiful legato style and purity of intonation of Messis, Jeter and Weir's playing, while Schubert's "Moments Musical" gave them opportunity to display their great bravura powers. The audience refused to let them go until they had granted them several encores, among which were two "Negro Sorrow Songs" arranged by Messis. Jeter and Weir for "cello and violin. Following this number Miss Florence Herbert rendered in her usual brilliant style Grieg's "Over the Mountain," and for an encore played a beautiful waltz by Chopin. Mary C. CLARA MANNES Pianist Dr. David Mannes, the father of the Music Settlement movement, was presented by Mr. Johnson, who characterized him as the "New Lincoln." At the end of Mr. Johnson's remarks the large and cultured audience paid homage to the great American violinist and the applause showered upon him after his two numbers proved how all had been rewarded for attending the concert. Dr. A. DAVID MANNES Violinisg. Mannies, assisted by his devoted wife Mrs. Clara Mannes, at the piano, played with-surpassing beauty of tone and a most comprehensive insight, both as to musical values and to the many changing moods, Godard's "Adazio Pathatique." This brought into prominence Dr. Mannes' great virility of style, impeccable technical resources and an infinite variety of tone coloring, seldom if ever equaled in this city. It was truly a great performance, and Dr. Mannes' own cadenza was played with such-mastery that it created a sensation. The dignity of his reading of Dambrosio's "Canzonetta" combined with an exuberance of temperament that fairly glows were indeed refreshing, and when one can add to this an unimpeachable technic the artistic total is one to be reckoned with. In both of these numbers Dr. Mannes was supported in most admirable fashion by Mrs. Clara Mannes. Another rare treat was the singing by Harry T. Burleigh of two Negro songs composed by himself. The audience was with Mr. Burleigh from the beginning, because the general personality of this rare genius is wont to impress itself favorably from the first. His resonant baritone gave satisfaction in each of his numbers, particularly, however, in "Don't Let Dis Harvest Pass," in which his wonderful lingual facility and exceptional breath control was marked. While it is true that this program was one of the most satisfactory ever given in New York, and each one who contributed to it deservedly ranks in the artist class, the sensational hit of the program was scored by Miss Ethel L Richardson, who played with rare technical finish Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodie No. 8," and gave as an encore De Bussy's "Taccato from Pour le Piano." Here is an artist with a technical equipment amounting to genius. Miss Richardson won her listeners by the charm of poetry, as well as brilliancy and finish of her playing. Her work was interesting throughout, pianistic and scintillating with startling dynamic effects, graceful shading, sudden contrasts, beautiful tone and sweeping runs. For the closing numbers a beautiful solo was rendered by Master Valdo Freeman, who gave much promise of developing into an artist of great merit. "The Negro Choral Society," organized by Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman, who is at present its director, rendered three characteristic Negro sorrow songs—"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Farewell, My Old Kentucky Home" and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See." These songs are of Prof. Freeman's own arrangement and are of lasting value; showing Prof. Freeman a musician of rare and unusual gifts, and as rendered by his Choral Society gave much pleasure to a great program of unusual merit. Space will allow only a bare mention of the brilliant addresses made by the Hon. Elbridge L. Adams, Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, Dr. David Mannes and James R. Europe, in which the purpose of the Music Settlement was explained, its many ideals and the fortunate securing of J. Rosamond Johnson as its general supervisor. At the close of these remarks J. Rosamond Johnson, in a short talk, thanked his well wishers for their kind and generous support and outlined the work of the school year. Smart Set in Senior Metals. In the senior metropolitan track and field championships held at Celtic Park, Saturday, afternoon, the fleet-footed runners of the Smart Set Athletic Club of Brooklyn ran up a total of 13 points, taking third place to the York A. C, which were first and second. St. Christopher was also represented and secured one point. In the 100-yard dash, J. E. Jones of Smart Set was second to Alvah Meyer, while J. E. Ravenell of St. Christopher, was fourth. W. Powe of Smart Set was fourth in the 880-yard run, and the 120-yard high hurdles was won by II. M. Martin of the same club, who defended Eller of the I.A. In the 220-yard low hurdles Martin had to be satisfied with second place, the race going to Potter of the N. Y. A. C.

The bill was opened by Burt Chlindwisch whose dancing finish scored. Fisher & Edmonds were strong teammates one of the best, seen and heard at the Lafayette. They have good songs and good jokes and a man admirer. Simms & Thompson scored heavily as usual in their talk and songs. Joe Simms ranks among the first of our present-day comedians, and his partner is a capital-straight man. Frank Rogers has no peer as a ventriloquist, and some day the amusement world will pay him a more fitting recognition. He uses two figures with great skill. Of course he goes big. Rogers is a great credit to the colored theatrical profession—in fact, to the entire theatrical profession.

The Chocolate Drops, with King & Bailey, enjoyed headline position, which was well taken care of. George Archer has reconstructed the act until now it has, with one or two exceptions, everything new but the name. The scenery is pretentious, the costumes attractive and the girls pretty. Leo Bailey has greatly improved as a straight man since his visit across the pond, and he works very hard in the act—in fact, too hard. His partner is a real comedian whose dancing legs create even more laughter than the dialogue. The Chocolate Drops are to-day stronger than before their trip abroad, and with a few minor changes and a little more, work should score at any time and anywhere. The Chocolate Drops, Frank Rogers and Simms & Thompson have been held over for the second half. One of the features at the Lafayette during the entire week is the Negro industrial pictures in three reels, produced by Hunter C. Haynes. It is by far the most meritorious picture of its kind ever thrown upon the screen. The picture shows prominent colored men and business institutions of New York and Boston, field day at Lenox Oval, New York, and the Old Fellows parade at the recent B. M. C. held in Boston. This picture is instructive as well as entertaining and is interesting from start to finish. The Great, Mondaayae was one of the principal attractions at the Lafayette the second half of last week, and pleased in his turn, in which he gave an exhibition of his physical prowess. The attendance is the same—large. Henry Creamer and Hattie Christian will appear in a dancing turn next week. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Pellelon & Brown are at the Chelsea Theatre, Washington.

BIG LEAGUERS LOSE. National League Stars Couldn't Hit Joe William. The Lincoln Giants won a doubleheader Sunday at Olympic Field, defeating the Bronx Suburbans in the opening game, 11 to 1, and then taking the measure of the Philadelphia Nationals, by a 10 to 4-account. Although the Philly team had three of their star batsmen in the line-up, Paskert, Magee and Lobert, the team only got six hits off the delivery of Joe Williams, who pitched superbly. The hitting and fielding of Wallace was one of the big features. Williams and Wallace each got three hits off Marshall. Next, Sunday the home club will play the Giants. Marquard and McLean will be the Giants' battery. The score: LINCOLN GIANTS | PHILA. (NAT L.)

In the first annual track and field championships of the small athletic clubs of New York and vicinity the Smart Set of Brooklyn and the Salem-Crescents of Manhattan furnished some surprises. Each club seced 16 points, tying for third place. The surprises were, that Salem Set did not win first place, and that Salem-Crescents fought enough to-score as many points as Smart Set. All the clubs of Greater New York were eligible to participate except the New York A. C. and the Irish-American A. C., and the Pastime and Long Island clubs finished first and second respectively. The only double winners of the meet were H. Martin of Smart Set and P. J. White of Salem-Crescent. Martin of the Smart Set took the 120- yard high hurdles in 17 seconds, and the 220- yard low hurdles in 26 4-5 seconds. In the 100- yard dash P. J. White showed his heels to J. E. Jones of the Smart Set and Frank Stephenson, the crack of Trinity club, in 10 3-5 seconds. O. Adamson of Salem-Crescent ran fourth. White repeated in the 220- yard dash in 23 2-5 seconds. Jones coming in third to G. L. Kingston of New Haven A. A. W. Power of the Smart Set had to be satisfied with fourth in the 880- yard dash, and A. Gorham of the Salem- Crescent was third in the 220- yard low hurdles. L. Lalbeet of the Salem-Crescent aggregation, was the only point winner in the field events, getting second place in the running hop, skip and jump with 42 feet. 41'5 inches. Colored Athletes Win in Jersey. Colored Athletes Win in Jersey. The young athletes belonging to the Smart Set and Salem-Crescent clubs continue to make a good showing in all the meets in which they entered. Monday at Englewood, N. J., the first A. U. meet was held, the prize being paid for by the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Benevolent League. P. J. White of the Salem-Crescent was first in the 100-yard dash handicap from 1½ yards behind the mark in 10 1-5 seconds. C. Vester of Salem-Crescent, with 9 yards handicap, came third in the 300-yard handicap, Salem-Crescent's relay team, composed of H. E. Foster, C. Adamson, A. C. Gorham and P. J. White, was stationed on the 22-yard mark in the 1,200-yard relay race, and took first place in 213. Assix-mile road race was attempted, the last mile to be run on the quarter-mile track. Tom Harris of the Smart Set, with a handicap of four minutes, was the easy winner by fifty yards from the second man. His actual time was 40.51. Howard Freshman*Win Rush. Freshmen were victorious in the class rush-at Howard University, Washington, D. C., Friday afternoon, October 9! After a hard-fought, closely contested struggle they pulled down the flag of the sophomores which had been nailed to a greased pole. As an offset to the difference in numbers between the upper classmates, the insignia of the upper classmates was placed three feet higher this year than last. Prior to the start of the contest the girls of the two classes, cheering for their respective champions, marched on the field. The girls of the second year wore their class colors, and bore a long chain of the same shades. The members of the freshman class were dressed as nurses in their class colors also, and marched to the tap of a drum. Colored Boy Wins Meet for His School Alfred Johnson of Public School 10, Manhattan, won last Saturday at Brooklyn Field the running high jump, which event made his school a winner of the P. S. A. L. games by seven points over P. S. 62, the nearest rival, which had 22 points. The running high jump was the last event. The enthusiasm of the boys was at fever point, as only the two points separated public school 10, 62, strain was removed when Johnson cleared the bar at 4 feet 10 inches, winning the event for himself and the meet for his school.

For years European immigrants have been flocking to this country, many of whom either brought with them prejudices against the color American, or quickly imbbed it on reaching these shores. All strove to show the colored American from the labor and occupations at which he formerly labored. For several years the Department of Commerce and Labor has been important to divert the hegira of foreign immigrants from northern and western states, where they had already displaced labored labor, to the southern states, where the great colored population resides. While this has not been realized to the extent desired by the sponsors, yet the natives of Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, Greece and the Slavonic countries have been moving South in increasing numbers each year. This European-war will return thousands of them-back to their native countries and will for a season, of necessity, estop immigration to this country, thus again, returning the colored American to occupations and labor, at remunerative wages, in which he was formerly engaged before Europe began sending her hundreds of thousands here annually. It is interesting to contemplate how heavily this contest between the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente may draw upon the United States for fighting men, and thereby make room for the employment of native colored Americans. Many Foreigners of Fighting Age. In 1910 there were 1,174,973 Austrians and 495,609 Hungarians in this country, an increase of the former over the number registered a decade previous of 162.3 per cent, and an increase of the latter of 240.1 per cent. This is-a total of 1,670,582 subjects of the dual government — Austria-Hungary — in this country. Of this number 334,126 are men of fighting age, who might respond to their country's call to return to bear arms in its defense. There are 4,639 Servians, 5,377 Montenegrins and 101,282 Greeks in this country, making a total of 111,298 peoples whose sympathies, are with the Slavonic races in this great conflict. Of these 22,259 are men of fighting age. This makes a total of 356,385 men of fighting age who might respond to the call for home defense, if the fighting had been confined alone between Austria-Hungary on the one hand, and Servia, Greece and Montenegro on the other. Foreigners Leaving Will Leave Room for Negro Laborers. By far the larger per cent. of the 'Austro-Hungarians, Slavs and Greeks in this country, are employed in the mines and as laborers on construction work, from which they have crowded out the American colored man. If but 10 per cent. of these return home it, would mean, that 35,638 places had been vacated by foreigners that must, or may, be filled by men of our own race; if American industries are to continue on With the "Triple Entente drawn into the war, Russia, France and England united against the Triple Alliance, the number of foreigners of fighting age who may depart for their native countries is greatly increased. Germany, as a member of the Triple Alliance, is in the field fighting desperately, and calling to their colors all reservists in this country. There are 62,559 Germans of fighting age in this country eligible for duty home; 2,644 Frenchmen of fighting age; 268,626 Italians of fighting age, and 10,132 Great Britain subjects of fighting age, who have immigrated to this country during the past ten years alone. If but 10 per cent. of the Germans, French, Italians and English of fighting age return home, to take part in this war it would mean that 344,550 men would give up occupations which necessarily must be filled by native Americans to man American industries. If 10 per cent. of the foreigners immigrating to this country during the past ten years, of fighting age, and natives of the several countries mentioned were to return home, a grand total of 700,945 foreigners—men of fighting age —employed at labor at which the American colored man might be employed, would leave our shores—some never to return, and most of them would be unable to return for years. In the meantime immigration to this country is stopped; the American colored man will find greater opportunities for occupation, and it becomes true that "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good." Russian Jews Will Not Leave. While Russia has been pouring into this country a mighty stream of immigrants for years, they are mostly Russian Jews who left, that country to avoid persecution, and some of the restrictions and discriminations which our race suffers in this country. These, naturally, will not return to assist Russia, so the number of Russians in this country liable to return home to join their colors is so small as not to be worth mentioning. Not only have the immigrants from the foreign countries crowded the American colored man out of mine and construction work, but they have crowded them out of most of the hotels and cafes and barber shops in the North, and the Italian immigrant, especially, has taken largely to the tilling of the soil, becoming truck gardeners, an occupation which might, and it offers great opportunities for the colored man. It may now dawn upon American manufacturer, the American captains of industry, and the American controller of commerce that the American colored man is, in the final analysis, the most dependable laborer. He at least, is not subject to be called across the seas to bear arms whenever some monarch of the old world greedily decides to extend his power. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.
