O. P.—the Republicans swept the country at Tuesday's election, winning decisive victories in every section of the United States but the South. The large Democratic majority in Congress has been almost completely wiped out. The Democrats will control the United States Senate by a small majority and if they outnumber the Republicans in the House it will be only by a narrow margin. President Wilson and Col. Theodore Roosevelt have both lost prestige as the result of the great Republican landslide throughout the United States. In almost every instance where the President made a strong appeal to the voters to support his candidate and uphold the present administration at Washington the Democrat lost. Even in Wilson's congressional district in New Jersey a Republican Congressman was chosen. Many express the opinion that Theodore R. Roosevelt's star has set politically, as the Progressive Party made a miserable showing everywhere. Thousands of voters who supported the Progressive ticket at the Presidential election deserted the Roosevelt organization. The return to the fold of colored voters in large numbers, thousands of whom had become Bull Moosers, was one of the significant incidents of the election, and the support they gave the various Republican candidates played an important part in sending Republicans to Congress and in the G. O. P. State tickets. Disgruntled colored Democrats, too, showed they did not approve of the Wilson administration's anti-Negro policy by voting against all the Wilson candidates. In Ohio, where a bitter battle had raged, Warren G. Harding, Republican, was elected United State Senator over Attorney-General Timothy S. Hogan, Gov. James M. Cox, democrat, and Frank B. Willis, Republican, are running neck and neck in the race for the Governorship, with the indications favoring the Republican. Nicholas J. Longworth was reported to have been elected again to Congress. In Pennsylvania, where the Progressives made their most striking showing in the last Presidential year, Senator Boies Penrose, against whom Mr. Roosevelt directed his fiercest hostility and who was opposed on the ground that he is of the old school and a reactionary, was re-elected, and Martin B. Brumbaugh, Republican, was elected Governor. The voting in Pennsylvania was heavy and there were evidences on all hands of a terrific slump in the Progressive vote. Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, Democrat and personal friend of the President, was the Democratic nominee for Senator, and Gifford Pinchot, Progressive, was the especial favorite of Theodore Roosevelt. In Connecticut the Republicans made a state wide sweep, and Frank B. Brandegee was elected United States Senator over Governor Simeon E. Baldwin. In many of the districts now represented by Democrats the Republicans sent their followers to Congress. The Republicans made heavy gains in New Jersey, according to the late returns, electing ten members to the two Democrats. In President Wilson's own district the Republican nominee was successful. The indications are that the State Senate in New Jersey will be Republican. In various parts of the State the Democratic organizations were overwhelmed. The fight in New Jersey was of special interest, being the home of President Wilson and one of the States which had rallied most strongly about him in times when he and his policies were in jeopardy. "Uncle Joe" was the Republican candidate in a close fight for Congress from Illinois, and appears to have won back his seat in Congress. With him will go William B. McKinley, another of the old time figures in House, who was for years chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee. The fight for United States Senator for Vermont between the present senator, William P. Dillingham, Republican, and the erstwhile Interstate Commerce Commissioner, Charles A. Prouty who had the indorsement of both Democrats and Progressives, resulted in a victory for Senator Dillingham by a plurality of 8,000. Republicans, were elected to Congress The full Republican State ticket was elected. New Hampshire abandoned the Democratic regime of the last two years, electing a Republican Governor, Holland H. Spaulding, by a majority estimated at 8,000, over Albert W. Noone, Democrat. The Republican victory extended to the United States Senatorial-fight; Senator Jacob H. Gallinger defeating Representative Raymond B. Stevens, Edward Wason, Republican candidate for Mr. Stevens' seat in Congress, defeated Charles French, Democrat, by a close vote: Cyrus A. Sulloway was re-elected to Congress in the First district over Eugene E. Reed, Democrat, who defeated Mr. Sulloway in 1912. The Progressive party in Massachusetts is a hopeless wreck today. Gov David L. Walsh has been re-elected by about twelve thousand votes, while the Lieutenant Governor, Edward P. Barry, of Boston, was defeated by Grafton D. Cushing, Republican, of Boston, and four Republicans have been sent to Congress in place of Democrats. On incomplete returns from every section of Kansas Charles Curtis, Republican, appeared to be leading Representative George A. Neeley, Democrat, and Representative Victor Murdock, Progressive, in the race for U. S. Senatorship. Arthur Cooper, Republican, was ahead for Governor. With many districts to be heard from both Laurence V. Sherman, Republican, and Roger C. Sullivan, Democrat, claim to have been elected U. S. Senator from Illinois. The race on the State ticket is also very close. R. Livingston Beeckman, Republican candidate for Governor of Rhode Island, had a lead of nearly 5,600 votes over his Democratic opponent, Patrick H. Quinn. Indications point positively to the re-election of Senator Albert Cummins. Republican, by a plurality estimated at 50,000 over Maurice Connolly, Democrat, and Casper Schenk, Progressive. Emmanuel L. Philipp, Republican, has defeated judge John C. Korel, Democrat, for Governor of Wisconsin by 25,000 and the G. O. P. has elected six Representatives to Congress and the Democrats one. TWO BRANCHES OF METHODISM TO UNITE Special to THE NEW York Age. BALTIOMORE, Md., Nov. 4.—At a special meeting of the Maryland and Virginia Conference of the African Methodist Union Protestant Church, at Ruxton, Md., Wednesday of last week, it was decided to unite with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. Negotiations began a year ago, following the introduction of a resolution by the Rev. James A. Handy of Norfolk, Va., proposing consolidation. It was suggested in the resolution that several bishops be allowed, as well as an assistant editor for The Christian Index, the organ of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. The Maryland and Virginia Conference, which also includes the District of Columbia, has nearly 40 churches in its membership. The Rev. Perri Robinson is president. Union with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church will greatly strengthen that church in this section of the country. Besides several big churches in the District of Columbia and a few smaller ones in Maryland and Virginia, the denomination is not as strong in this section as it is further south. It is likely that the Delaware and New Jersey Conferences of the African Union Methodist Episcopal Church will also unite with the C. M. E. Church, but action looking toward this end has not been undertaken as yet. TO ARGUE VALIDITY OF SEPARATE CAR LAW Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 4—Argument touching upon the validity of the separate car law will be heard in the Court of Appeals one day next week, when the case of Joseph Jenkins, charged with violation of the law by refusing to occupy a seat assigned to colored people comes up. Jenkins was a passenger on a car of the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Railway. He was indicted in Baltimore City for alleged violation of the "Jim Crow" car law. Hawkins & McMechen, his attorneys, demurred to the indictment on the ground that it did not state between what points Jenkins was a passenger. Judge Elliott sustained the demurrier and the State tiled an appeal. In the case of Attorney William H. H. Hart of Washington, charged with violation of the law the Court of Appeals ruled that a passenger traveling from a point without the State to a point within and vice versa, was exempt from the provisions of the law. ROB HARRELD KILLED Special to THE NEW YORK ACE FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 3—When returning from Lexington on a motorcycle, accompanied by his wife, Robert G. Harreld, electrician at the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, was instantly killed in a collision between his motorcycle and a buggy, driven by George Dunlap. A shaft of the buggy penetrated Mr. Harreld's breast, and his arm, leg and neck were broken. Mrs. Harreld was slightly injured. The accident occurred near Versailles. The occupants of two buggies were driving a road race, it seems, and in guiding his machine out of the way of one of the teams the other crashed into Mr. Harreld and wife. He is survived by his wife, Linda two children, a boy and girl, "Snowy Boy" and Eleanor, his mother, and a brother, Kemper Harreld the victim, who is at the head of the department of music, Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.

Passenger Agent Carry to Confer with Transportation Committee of National Medical Association on Thursday, November 5, in Railroad's N. Y. Office. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. JERSEY CITY, N. J., Nov. 4. Following up recent correspondence had with H. F. Carey, general passenger, agent of the Southern Railway, concerning accommodations afforded the Negro patrons traveling on that road, which correspondence was, published in THE AGE October 1. Dr. George E. Cannon, 354 Pacific avenue, chairman of the executive board of the National Medical Association, has called to the attention of Mr. Carey the fact that the medical association has been meeting for five years in cities in the South which are reached by the Southern Railway, making a request that that official confer with the transportation committee of the medical association with a view to furnishing better traveling accommodations. To Meet in New York Nov. 5. To this request General Passenger Agent Carey has very promptly replied, arranging to meet the committee in New York on Thursday, November 5, at an hour to be arranged by Alex S. Thweatt, eastern passenger agent of the company, at whose office, 264 Fifth avenue, the conference will be held. The following are the letters: 354 Pacific Ave., Jersey City, N. J. October 21, 1914. Mr. H. F. Carey, Gen. Pass, AGL, So. R. R. Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: I wish to acknowledge receipt of your very courteous letter of September 16, in reply to the complaints I made relative to the passenger service rendered colored passengers on your road. I am pleased to know that you appreciate your colored patronage, and wish to say that if given the usual comforts of travel there would be a great increase in the colored patronage. Our National Medical Association has met for the past five years in the South, in cities on your roads, and I would like very much to have our transportation committee confer with you on the matter of better passenger accommodations in the same spirit in which my past friend that I hope to copil that it is convenient to present such an audience, as I feel that, such a, conference would be beneficial to both sides. Should you grant this request kindly make the date after November 15, so I can notify the three, other members. SOUTHERN' RAILWAY COMPANY.

Cannon, 354 Pacific Ave. Jersey City, N. J. Dear Sir, Your letter of October 21 has attention on my return today after an absence. I hardly think it necessary for you and members of your committee to go to the expense of coming to Washington for an interview, particularly in view of the fact that I now expect to be in New York Thursday, November 4, and will be glad to see you, that morning at the office of Mr. A. S. Thwaiten, eastern passenger agent of this company, No. 264 Fifth avenue, if that will be agreeable, will you kindly let Mr. Thwaiten know, in reply to this, and he will let me know. Mr. Thwaiten will likewise let me know at an early date the exact hour of the meeting. Dr. Cannon, on receipt of this letter, put himself in communication with Mr. Thwcatt, who informed him that the conference was set for 10:30 o'clock, on the morning of November 5. The medical association will be represented in the meeting by Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, N. J., general secretary; Dr. F. P. Roberts of New York, Dr. W. H. Piggins of Providence, R.

J., Nov. 4—Largely through the splendid work of the Fourth Ward Republican Club, of which Chas. B. Hinton, the recently elected county committeeman, is chairman and leader, the Republican ticket made a practical sweep of Bergen County. Dr. John D. Prince of Columbia University has been elected as a Congressman, defeating A. C. Hart, Lemocrat. For "Assembleblyman, the Republicans made a clean sweep, electing the three members from the country, Jason K. Elliott, Reed Flowel and W. W. Wiseley. For Freeholders, W. Irving Glover and J. Catfield, Republicans, received a handsome majority in the Fourth Ward, which enabled them to overcome an adverse vote in other wards, and elected them by a comfortable plurality. For the position of constable, Frank M. Burnett a Negro Republican, received practically the solid vote of the Fourth Ward, being elected by a majority of nearly 150 tor in the Republican victory are 257 enrolled voters in the ship of the club, all resident Fourth Ward, with approx. white Republicans, out of a about 345 votes in the ward.ton of Chas.

The final rally of the Fourth Ward Club was held at the Old Fellows Hall corner Englewood assemble and William street, Monday night, November 2, when a beestak dinner was served to friends and members. The ball was packed probably three hundred men being present J. C. Campbell, president of the Negro Coke League preside and the men were addressed by nearly every Republican candidate on the Republican ticket. Prof. John D. Prince, the candidate for Congress was one of the first speakers, and he received a rounding receipt on. Among the other speakers dar- M. B. mg the evening were Jason Elliott, candidate for the Assembly from Bergen County; W.

Cathelef Freeholder, Mr Ryan, Lacun H. White of Tito New York Age; Dr W. W. Woollybush, secretary of the Negro Civic League; the Rev. Mr. Y. N. Pet pastor Zon Church, and a number of others. The Negro Civic League was instrumental in cementing and welding the vote of the Fourth Ward which for the first time in eleven years became a fac- tor in the Republican victory. There are 257 enrolled voters in the membership of the Fourth Ward, with approximately 50 white Republicans, out of a total, of about 345 votes in the ward. The election of Chas. B. Hinton as county committeeman at the primaries signalized the first election of a Negro to an office in that ward. Frank Burnett, on Tuesday, was elected constable by a larger majority than any other candidate on the ticket. The beefsteak dinner on Monday night was a great success. There was an sample supply of solids and liquids, and the men enjoyed themselves until a late hour. The dinner was prepared under the supervision of A. J. Wright, one of the leading workers of the ward. A feature of the program was the presentation to Prof J. John D. Prince of a large portrait of himself made by a crippled Negro artist, Christopher C. Grant of Englewood. Grant has been crippled for several months, but is devoting much time in an effort to develop his talent as an artist. "Officers of the Negro Civic League are J. C.

Hinton, recording secretary and treasurer, the Rev Mr. Roberts, chaplain; Arch Jackson, sergeant-at-arms. In the First Ward Harry H. Laws has been serving for the past year as constable filling an unexpired term. His services have been so satisfactory that in the election on Tuesday he had no opposition, receiving the unanimous vote of his ward for the three years' term. NO COLOR LINE FOR PROVINCESSE, R. L. Nov 4.—The Board of directors, of the Providence Y. M. C. A. have issued a statement which sets at rest all reports that Negroes would be discriminated against as applicant for membership in that institution. The fact that several persons objected to the admission of Negroes aroused the colored organizations of the city, to make a protest, and this was followed by the director's action. The statement issued by the Y. M. C. A. officials is as follows: The Lord alone No man's Christian Association for more than 60 years has served the young man and his love of charity, a broad and liberal spirit, making his distinction in receiving a charity for his membership because of race or sex. We believe that the only test of faithility must continue to be as it always has been, character and morals worth, and that by such standards of selection the association will exemplify its high ideals. We therefore believe it is sufficient for this board to declare that no reason exists for any chance in the principles which have heretofore governed the association in its requirements for membership. ALA. HELD FOR MURDER Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Cito, Ala. Nov. 3—Six of the most prominent white citizens of Pike and Barbour counties are in the Clayton jail, held by Judge Sollie without bail on two indictments each by the grappi jury, one for murder in the first degree and the other for assault with intent to murder as a result of the death of Frank Eutzy and the injuring of Alto Paxter, both Negroes. The murder and assault were committed in the home of Eutzy. Judge Solle acted promptly in the matter. The grand pury which had adjourned on Wednesday, was reconvened on Friday and returned the indictments immediately.

Whitman carried fifty-five of the sixty-one counties and Glynn won 1 only in New York City and in Hamlin County. The poor, showing, made by the progressive party is being generally commented upon.

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." The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution will believe it will be a paying investment. The paper is backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to assure its publication. Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will.

THE AGE congratulates Mr. WHITMAN upon his magnificent victory, and is proud that it was instrumental in assisting to, bring about his election. Had Mr. WHITMAN won by only a slight margin his victory would, nevertheless, have been notable, for it must be conceded that Glynn, in himself, was far from being a weak opponent; but the tremendous vote by which he was elected shows that the people of the State know the man and his record, and by that vote, they expressed their entire confidence in him. We wish for Mr. Whitman a successful career as Governor of the greatest State in the Union; and we predict for him that his reputation and fame will have grown to much-huger proportions by 1916. THE NEW SENATOR. The election of JAMES W. WADSWORTH is a vindication of the direct election of senators; at least, so far as New York is concerned. It shows that the people of the State know how to choose between a free, able and experienced man like Mr. WADSWORTH and a man like Judge GERARD, who, whatever his abilities may be, is but a wheel in a corrupt political machine. The Negroes of New York and the whole country are fortunate in having Mr. WADSWORTH in the Senate; for it is in the United States Senate that we especially need strong and fearless friends. Mr. WADSWORTH is a worthy successor to ELIHU ROOT, and we wish for him long and useful service. THE REBUKE TO THE ADMINISTRATION. The election of Mr. WHITMAN as Governor of New York is not only an expression of confidence in him by the people of the State, but is a direct rebuke to Tammany and all that Tammany stands for. It is even more than a rebuke to Tammany, it is a rebuke to the Wilson administration. "Uphold the President," was the cry sent out from Washington, and the personal prestige and popularity of Mr. Wilson was made the main issue on, which the Democrats went before, the people. The overwhelming vote given to WHITMAN was the people's answer. THE COLORED VOTE. The colored citizens of the State cast a solid vote for WHITMAN and the straight Republican ticket. They are to be complimented upon their show of good judgment and their intelligent appreciation of the issues before the country in general, and the race, in particular. They may laugh at Sulzer, but a man who, without newspaper support, without campaign funds, without a party, could poll such a vote is something more than a laugh. It looks as though the elephant is headed straight for Washington—and that he will get there by 1916. The public library in West 135th Street is located in the center of the densest Negro-population in the Borough of Manhattan, and it should be more generally used by the colored people of that section of the city. I suppose if we were denied admission to this institution we would be hammering for entrance—as it is, we are admitted on the same terms as all other persons and we fail to take full advantage of our opportunity. Listen, my readers, there is not a young man or woman who is able to read who could not, by devoting a certain number of hours each week to the proper sort of reading, obtain for himself or herself a liberal education. You say you haven't the time. That means you haven't the inclination or the will. As Arnold Bennett says in his book, "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" "We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is." In another place he says: "The chief beauty about the constant supply of time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoilt, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your career." Ponder the following magical words by the same author and see if you do not derive new inspiration from them: "In the realm of time there is no aristocracy of wealth, and no aristocracy of intellect. Genius is never rewarded by you an extra hour a day. And there is no punishment. by even an extra hour a day. And there is no punishment. Waste your infinitely precious commodity as much as you will, and the supply will never be withheld from you. No mysterious power will say: 'This man is a fool, if not a knave. He does not deserve time; he shall be cut off at the meter.' It is more certain than consols, and payment of income is not affected by Sundays. Moreover, you cannot draw on the future. Impossible to get into debt! You can only waste the passing moment. You cannot waste tomorrow; it is kept for you. You cannot waste the next hour; it is kept for you. Doesn't that paragraph give you a greater feeling of responsibility regarding the waste of time, the very stuff that life and all of its opportunities depend on? If you have a fair school education you can doubtless plan for yourself a profitable course of reading. If you feel you cannot, you can address a letter to some newspaper or periodical that would be glad to lay out such a course for you. If you write a letter to the editor of this column, giving the general scope of your education and stating what branches of knowledge interest you most, he will be glad to suggest some books for you to read. The first book that I should suggest to all readers is the one above quoted from,—Arnold Bennett's "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day." THE NEW YORK TIMES SOLVES A PUZZLE Every once in a while the New York "Times," contrary to its general policy, strikes an editorial blow in behalf of the colored peoples of the world. Only last week we quoted the rather scathing remarks it made on the insincere and cowardly action of the American Bar Association in repealing the resolution debarring Negroes from becoming members. In an issue this week, the "Times" seeks and finds a reason for the "widespread, probably general, feeling of mingled apprehension and repugnance" excited by the use of colored soldiers in settling the quarrels of white nations. It advances a reason which, it says, may be of the sort called subconscious; and adds that, at any rate, it has not often been mentioned. The reason given is that even the peoples calling themselves most highly civilized give to physical courage and fighting ability sincere admiration; and though they are supposed to condition this admiration by the merits of the cause for which bravery and pessess are displayed, it is impossible to withhold it from those who show these qualities—especially in a fight against odds. So, white men subconsciously resent seeing men of color given the opportunity to display those qualities which they wish to believe to be possessed exclusively by the white race. The latter half of this article is so much to the point that it will be well to quote it directly. It reads as follows: "And since our appreciation for efficient pugnacity is so great, may it not be that we object to the utilization of more or less 'savage' troops as auxiliaries in a white man's war simply because, when this is done, the 'savages' show themselves practically equal to us in the very things for which we admire ourselves most? "At any rate, the comparison is not so much to our advantage as we would like to have it. As the present war has repeatedly illustrated, the men of color—the Senegalese and the East Indians—are not at all afraid to attack white troops, sometimes do it effectively, and manifest no incapacity for using our weapons or in executing the military operations, worked out after profound study by our best experts. We can still believe that the dark folk need white instruction and leadership to make them 'good' soldiers, but the great majority of white troops are also more or less nearly helpless when left to their own devices. "The often-demonstrated superiority of white armies to those black, red, or yellow seems to be more largely a matter of weapons than of courage or of natural military ability. As far as 'atrocities' go, there is not so much to choose, if all stories are to be believed, and they all rest on about the same basis of unproven accusations." It is an encouraging sign to see so great an American paper as the New York "Times" make so frank an admission, or better, confession. It is the more encouraging because of the fact that among American papers, the "Times" cannot be accused of having been unduly sympathetic toward the dark races. AN A B C LESSON ON TARIFF. Perhaps there isn't a boy who has gone through high school who was not at some time put down to discuss the tariff. There is not a cross-road country store that is without its "committee on economics," which meets on various occasions to discuss the tariff. Each four years everybody in the country discusses the tariff; so you would naturally suppose it to be the one subject thoroughly understood by all of the people of the United States. Yet, discussing the tariff is entirely distinct from knowing anything about it; in fact, it seems the more it is discussed, the less is known about it. Books on the tariff, college professors' lectures on the tariff, speeches in Congress on the tariff are all alike, confusing. During the campaign just over; there was reprinted and scattered broadcast a little lesson on the tariff; so short, so easy, and so comprehensive that we reproduce it here for the benefit of our readers who wish to master at a glance this vexing question of political economy. It is the following quotation, often attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "I do not know much about the tariff, but I do know that if my wife buys her cloak in America, we get the money and the cloak, and American labor is paid for producing it. If she buys her cloak abroad, we get only the cloak; the other country gets the money, and foreign labor receives the benefit." Some of the Democratic papers strenuously disputed the authenticity of this quotation, and denied that Lincoln ever uttered these words. The style of expression is certainly Lincoln's; but whether the words are his or not, has nothing to do with their truth, and had no effect upon the decisive influence of their truth in the recent elections. Some of the Democratic papers attempted to prove the fallacy of Lincoln's argument. One went on to show that he overlooked the fact that, if his wife bought her cloak abroad, just so much American labor as would have been consumed in making the cloak would be released for other gainful occupations; for instance, raising twenty bushels of wheat, with which a cloak could be paid for and some left over. As a mathematical demonstration this works out "according to the answer," but it does not take into consideration that there is always some American labor lying around, without either a job of cloak making or raising twenty bushels of wheat. It really argues that a man who loses a sure job is just as well off, because he is then free to put in his time on a more profitable job that he might get. Whether the words quoted above are Lincoln's or not, they, nevertheless, constitute the briefest and clearest exposition extant on the tariff question. FLORIDA'S NEW CHRISTIAN COLONY According to a full page advertisement in "The Philistine." Dr. Geo. F. Hall of Chicago, is the "Founder Owner and General Manager of Christian Colony." The "Colony" is being settled at Hall City, De Soto County, Florida. The advertisement, among other inducements, sets forth the following: "1,200 farms already sold and 2,000 lots in Hall City, the booming temperance capital of the Colony. Perpetual prohibition clause in every deed. No Negroes. No dagoes." These two last sentences seem not to ring with a very true Christian spirit, and we venture to suggest that the colony is starting out under a misnomer. Furthermore, and we know whereof we speak, Dr. Hall is as wrong on another important matter as he is on his principles of Christianity. If he thinks he can build up a successful town in Florida without Negroes, he is doomed to everlasting disappointment. It might be done around the suburbs of Chicago, but in Florida—impossible. LET US LAUGH. The French, are the cleverest people in the world to-day; more than that, they are the most logical. It is said that when a French author thinks about life he sits down and writes a comedy; when he feels about life he sits down and writes a tragedy. Read these lines over several times and think through them carefully and see if they don't gradually reveal to you a great big truth that at first is not seen; a truth that is vital in helping to solve the vexing problem of life. The power to laugh is, undoubtedly, one of the great aids to happiness. Now, some reader will say that a lecture on laughter is here unnecessary; for we, as a reece, are already the best laughers in the world; that what we need is a deeper realization of the more serious aspects of life. But there are two distinct varieties of laughter—there are two absolutely different ways of laughing. Most people, even a fool, can laugh at somebody else, but only one who has placed his feet on the ladder of wisdom can laugh at himself. To laugh at others is common and commonplace, to learn to laugh at oneself is to take the first steps in philosophy. We might say that to be really happy a man must learn to take himself somewhat as a joke; that is, he must learn how and when to laugh at himself just as he does at others. Not that a man should not at times be serious and have a serious purpose in life, but he should avoid taking himself, his purpose in life, his powers, his actions and his attitudes so seriously that they all combine to render him, in his own eyes, a something infallible. When a man reaches that state he is vulnerable to the slightest shaft. The least doubt or question as to his powers, his action or some attitude he has taken wounds him; and, as no man can at all times command the approval of his fellows, it is certain that such a man must suffer a great deal of pain. Such men are not always devoid of a sense of humor; they are quick to see when others make themselves absurd or ludicrous, and they appreciate the occasion and the life-renewing joy of a good laugh. If they only knew that in not being able to conceive or recognize themselves in similar positions they are missing some of the heartiest lauches of a lifetime. To be able to laugh at ourselves when we are fit objects of laughter is to possess an unfailing balm for most of the stings of wounded pride. For of this we may be sure, the instinct of the crowd for seizing upon a deserved opportunity for laughter is unerring; and happy is he who, when he may be the butt of that laughter, can return, at least, a cordial and knowing smile. There are many men, some by nature and others by acquisition and development, who have this spirit in a large degree; and what delightful companions they make! They do not keep you continually treading lightly for fear of stepping upon some extremely tender corn. We all know how pleasing it is to hear a man, in relating some incident, exclaim, "And what a fool I was!" And it is not only because we may agree that he is right—nine times out of ten he is—but it is so refreshing to meet someone with the sense and wit to make such an admission. It is true, there have been men who have taken themselves so seriously that they took all the rest of the world as a joke. These men rose superior to the laughter of the crowd. Whenever the crowd laughed it was simply a more ridiculous joke to them than before. But these men were the Master Spirits, they were what we commonly call geniuses. These were the men who by the power of self-centering raised themselves into semi-demi-gods or went to the insane asylum; and the ordinary person has not the hope of reaching either of these ends. For us who live the ordinary life, nothing can be more conducive to longevity, a cheerful spirit, a happy heart, a face free from wrinkles, a disposition proof against the stings and sinarts, the suffering and anguish of wounded pride; nothing that will go farther toward the making of friends who are always glad to see us and be with us, that will give a more pleasant angle to our outlook on life; in short, nothing that will save us more unnecessary pain and bring us more wholesome pleasure than the power of laughing—even at ourselves.

AN ARTIST'S IDEA OF A NEGRO BEAUTY The result of the beauty contest recently conducted by THE AGE continues to excite interest as is shown in comments, by experts and laymen, on various characteristics of the personal beauty shown in the types selected by the judges. One of the most interesting comments comes from, Ed. C. Shefton of Brooklyn, a young art student, who has taken the photograph of Miss M. Estelle White of New Orleans and by a standard of measurements brings out a view of the contest not yet touched upon by any of the commentators. In a note to the editor Mr. Shefton says he has used a "method other than that the layman would use in determining what is the nearest approach to-perfection in a contest between races or individuals of a race." Mr. Shofton's Letter. Mr. Sheiton's letter and the drawings accompanying it are given in this connection: In establishing a representative type it is of first import that we should select subjects that maintain every "Negro Characteristic." And in selecting types with these qualities we must remember to overlook the accepted notion of what is the representative type of Negro. In concluding his letter appearing in The Age of August 6, Mr. Demond Lewis draws a very creditable mental portrait of what is his idea as a "representative type" but there is a probability that in making his suggestions so positive a limitation will be placed on THE LAND OF THE LORD MISS M. ESTELLE WHITE New Orleana, La. the degree to which a species may develop. Suppose a limitation valid only as to hair and color. It makes no difference whether a nose is Egyptian, Grecian or Roman—the main requisite it that it be symmetrical. In using the word "Symmetry" for our purpose, we will apply it, first, to the feature singly to give them a proper form; then collectively to harmonize the whole. It is only by that process that a state of perfection can be acquired, because it matters not how well formed a part may be. If it is out of proportion to the rest of the figure, it is of no artistic value whatever. A figure to have an artistic value must be symmetrical. And certain it is that a thing to be symmetrical must be simple and uniform in design. A Representative Portrait "The environment of every quality I have mentioned is contained to a remarkably unusual degree in the portrait of Miss Estelle White, one of the "Chosen Fifteen" representatives types in the recent centers of The Art.

We will eliminate technical terms, hoping for an earlier realization of what we wish to create. The accompanying illustrations are inaccurate and are intended only to show a very simple method of analyzing the features. The method could be followed with better results by using the actual photo reproduction in making tests, but we must bear in mind that while the method is simple it exposes the direct to the nearest test of tests—a test that demands proof from a mathematical view point. But even then geometric figures are successively evolved with a precision that is remarkable. So much so that when every semblance of features are removed we are presented with a design very pleasing to see. Viewed from any angle it is a type of which we are all proud, and one which indeed strictly on physical qualities would give Negro-America a high score in an international contest.

NE dancing master in Harlem was asked Tuesday evening why such a marked interest was being shown in the Modern Dances by the beginners lately, and the reply given was: "Since the Lafayette Theatre announced that gold would be given away to the winners of the dancing contest, held every Friday evening, many ambitious ones have concluded to get some 'easy money' and are endeavoring to become proficient in the maxixe, tango and hesitation waltz. This unprecedented demand to learn the latest society dances, therefore, makes business good for the dancing schools." There are also doing the fact that many new faces have been seen at the various dancing schools recently as the result of the statement issued by the Lafayette Theatre management that a dancing contest would be held every Friday evening at the theatre, when the contestants in the Modern Dances would be awarded gold, to be divided as follows: $10 to winners of the first prize, $7.50 to winners of the second price, and $5 to winners of the third prize. Last Friday evening a goodly number of devotees of the Modern Dances witnessed the dancing contest after the regular vaudeville entertainment, and the contest-bids fair to rival the country store in popularity. Every indication is that the number of contestants for this week's contest will be larger. Standing room was even at a premium at the Lafayette Theatre Tuesday evening, and many were turned away. A good bill, country store night and election night combined to serve as a magnet to draw amusement lovers to the Lafayette. The Whitman Sisters have come to realize that "in union there is strength." After working apart for several years they have come together once more and are presenting a vaudeville offering that should prove a strong headline act for any colored house. The act is topping the bill at Lafayette Theatre this week and his bull's-eye. It contains comedy, dancing and song, and there is plenty of everything; in fact, there is too much entertainment, and the turn could be judiciously pruned without serious consequences. It has been a long time since the Whitman Sisters have been seen to such an advantage, and their act reminds one of the brand of entertainment they presented some years ago before they became full-fledged vaudevillians. The hand of Mae Whitman can be seen in the construction of the sketch, while Essie, Alberta and the little Miss Whitman sing and dance entertaining. Then there are four boys who furnish most of the comedy and who demonstrate their ability as terpsichorean artists. One young man in the act, the tallest one, has the makings of an A1 straight man of the George Walker type. Properly schooled, this lad would easily-take rank as the foremost colored straight man on the stage. The Whitman Sisters are playing a week's engagement at the Lafayette. Williams' dogs opened the hill in lively fashion. This is the only dog act owned by a colored man in vaudelle and it is a credit to both the owner of the act and the race. The dogs do some clever stunts and amuse throughout. Zarnes, Harmon and Simms, two white men and one colored man, who appear under cork, have a singing act, with a little dancing and humorous dialogue thrown in which pleases. The men work together and produce some good harmony. The Godlewsky troupe, Russian dancers, go through many intricate dance steps, and they won well-earned applause at each performance. Le Rose Fantoche Theatre developed some good comedy with its lifelike figures, and Emma Keyes, minus appropriate wardrobe, appeared zest in her dancing. Opening of Palace Casino. The new beautiful and spacious Palace Casino, located at 14-28 West 135th Street, recently erected by R. Harper Richardson was crowded to its capacity when District Attorney Whitman was present and spoke on the occasion of the opening of the casino last Monday evening. The crowds began to pour in to enjoy the free dance and to see the cason at 8 p.m. At 11 p.m. there were fully 10,000 persons in the hall. After Judge Whitman left, the crowd thinned somewhat but even then it is estimated that 6,000 were present. Many thousands more visited the hall during the evening. Mr. Richardson, presented hundreds, of yellow cysanthemus to the guests. It was his intention to give each guest a flower but there were more guests than he had expected. Two orchestras stationed in each end of the hall, furnished continuous music throughout the evening. The New Amsterdam orchestra with twenty pieces under the direction of J. S. Harding and an orchestra of ten white musicians were employed. The Palace Casino as advertised by manager Richardson came up to all expectations. The Casino is a brick structure, 200 by 100 feet with dancing capacity of 176 feet by 40 feet and with 24 boxes. The boxes seat twelve persons each. A feature of the new structure is the excellent system of ventilation. The air is carried from the lower part of the casino through the top by several openings. No drafts of air can be detected. Even when the place was packed with people to hear Whitman the air seemed pure. The interior is artistically decorated with Chinese stenciled leather in various scenes and portraits. The hand-painted landscape and water scenes over the stage showed to good advantage. The color scheme of the whole inside is old rose and light green, the green furnishing the back ground.

When Lincoln and Howard Meet. When the old rivals, Howard and Lincoln, meet at Lincoln next Saturday there is going to be one of the hottest gridiron contests even seen between two college eleven; despite the fact that the personnel of both teams has changed considerably during the past two years. The Lincoln-Howard game has for a long time been the premier annual athletic event among Negro colleges and has always been played on Thanksgiving Day, thereby drawing the patronage of loyal alumni and friends of both schools from all parts of the country. This year the game is to be played on November 7, and though the attendance is not likely to be as large as in former years, the teams will be perhaps more nearly evenly matched in strength than at any other time during their career.

A small admission of ten cents will be charged for each course; one dollar for season tickets. The public is invited. Nov. 5-11 Last year Lincoln began with practically a new team which developed, before the end of the season, into one of the most formidable aggregations of the year. She still has her last year's team intact and with a year's experience in team-work and the very efficient coaching which she is having at present, should produce an even better team than that of last year. "Cap" Wheaton, Lincoln's whirlwind halfback, will be her mainstay and, though slightly injured at present, is expected to be in good condition by November 7. He is one of the best halfbacks of the season. Patterson, the left half, though not so good as Wheaton, is very fast and is a good line plunger. The team has two swift ends in Barnum and "Deak" Andy, and is strong at center and guards. It is weak, however, at both tackles and unless these gaps can be closed between now and next Saturday, they may cost a victory. With both Wheaton and "Deak" Andy out of the game on October 24, Lincoln ran away with the Wassath- hicken team of Philadelphia by a score of 2 to 0. But even this score against such a weak and poorly trained team does not indicate what her strength would be against the prowess of such a team as Howard. Howard began last season minus three of her veteran stars, Nixon, Gray and Oliver, but developed a team_which was beaten only by Hampton by the narrow margin of 8-6 and which played Lincoln to a tie. This year she began the season minus Bell and Dowdell, perhaps the two greatest tackles she has ever had, besides Merchant and Gould in the back field, Schlaughter at end, and Celland at guard. Notwithstanding this, Howard will have a great team. In a recent interview with assistant coach Bell he told me: "We are going to produce a winning team. We have the material and there is no reason why we shouldn't do it. We have 'Lou' Brown and Grinnie as backs, we have the old veteran Brice at quarter, we have Captain Carter at guard, Beamon at center and a host of other strapping, strong young fellows who can hold any line. Then we have Gilmore, Cain and George as ends and Brannon and Stratton as sub-quarters. We are driving them hard, they are going fine and I don't see how we can lose." Both Lincoln and Howard are fortunate in having excellent and experienced coaches. Lincoln has the services of Pollard, the former Dartmouth star, assisted by several ex-stars of Lincoln's team. Howard has head coach Marshall, three year's varsity man of Exeter Academy team and later of Williams college. He is assisted, by Porter, former star of New Haven high school and later trainer for several years at Yale University, and Dr. P. Marshall Bell, who was for LAFAYETTE THEATRE Morehouse 'Tigers' Defeat Talladega. Before a large crowd of enthusiastic rooters and spectators, Morehouse College met Talladega College in the first game, of the series among the three teams. The opposing team lished her by the score of 19 to 0. Both teams played a brilliant game. The triple passes executed by Morehouse battled the opposing team. Talladega bucked the lino but could never cross the Old Maroon's goal. Morehouse's beautiful pass from Brock to Bly re- listering Morehouse's first touchdown two minutes after the game began. COUNTRY STORE-Every Tuesday and Saturday. Evening. Wednesday Evenings-AWATEUR NIGHT In the second quarter a successful triple pass of 45 yards from Brock to Weaver to Ely put Morehouse on Talladega's one yard line, and Lovis carrion got the touchdown. Lewis kicked the goal teams played to a standstill in the third quarter. Morehouse pulled off some snappy stunts in the fourth quarter. The Archer machine made three successful passes in three minutes. James Jove, the plucky halfback, gave a great exhibition of gold running of the ball 25 yards through the Talladega line for the final touchdown. The Alabamians put up a great fight but it was a game of skill against a game of strength. Morehouse meets Atlanta University Saturday, November 7, and Jackson November 21.

Virginia Union Defeats Virginia Normal Virginia. Union University, Richmond, Va., defeated the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute on the latter's campus Saturday, October 31. It was simply a case of the best team. Petersburg's team is far from being a team of the same size, over every inch of ground throughout the game but the odds were against her. In spite of the one sided score, the brilliant plays and straight foot ball of the visitors featured the game. There has always been an intense athletic world between these schools, with the best teams in seven years that Union has been victorious. On account of a misunderstanding a few years ago, the two schools have not met on the gridiron for three years. Touchdown in 45 Seconds. One of the most notable features of the game was the short time Union to touchdown. The quickest one was made in 45 seconds. On a kick-off Thompson secures the oval on Union's 20 yard line. Following his interference until half way up the heuduously darted out and by stiff arm and clever ducking he downed his 80 yard dash with a touchdown: R. H. RICHARDSON, Manager Booking Office: 428 Lenox Ave, N. Y. Phone 4974 Harlem Kirby was in the line light for the scrubs in second half. Union made eighteen first downs, Petersburg one, first half. Thompson made adaptiness in the forward pass, Capt. Howell's and Taylor's line bucking, Duckwilder's and Thompson's toen field dards for distances of 15 to 50 yards were the feature of the game. THANKSGIVING DANCE AND TABLEAU VIVANT Middle University defeated the Bennett College eleven, of Greenshore, today at Charlotte in the first game of the season, by a score of 8 to 0. Hiddle, having lost most of its last year's players by graduation, presented a new lineup, but before the first quarter was over Downing had made a delayed pass. Downing had a delayed pass. Downing had a chance to score but lost these. Captain Epps for Bennett was very good on the defense, while Downing, Funderburk, Martin and Cooper played startling ball for Biddle. Captain Duran played his usual hard-game and thunderous brokenbounce runs for good guts. So.C. College in Tie Game With Ga.

THE NEW LINCOLN HOUSE SETTLEMENT Miss Elizabeth Walton, 417 West 114th street, one of the patronesses of the settlement house work in the San Juan Hill district, has furnished THE Auz with the following account of the work which is being carried on in the Lincoln Settlement House, which is a combination of the work formerly done by the Walton Kindergarten and the Stilman House. "Last Monday, evening the first large catering of people in Lincoln House took place. The location of that settlement. It took the form of a musical arranged by Rosamond Johnson, director of the Music School Sett- ement at 4 and 6 West 114th street. The following program was rendered to a very appreciative audience: The Gard'ner.....Channon Lit Gall.....Johnson Brown.....Johnson J. Rosamond Johnson. Hungarian Rhapsodie, No. 8 Llazt Toccato Pour le Piano. De Busey Ethel L. Richardson Good-bye Tostl Mme. E. DeLyno Leonard Cotton Rules Nobody Knows the Trouble I see. Sorrow Song All of us have known of the work that has been done at 202 West 52nd street for years past. But some may not know just how the work began eighteen years ago in one room at 40th street, where a kindergarten was started, as there was no place then that neighborhood where little children were. After three years in 40th street the school, in the neighborhood of peculiaria kindergarten which made our life unnecessary there. But we were an organized committee with enough resources contributors to make good teachers there. In there we were discovered to have no social service organization there at all and was in some need of help. So we tried to do 40th street and opened our kindergarten again. But this time we tried to keep the children after they graduated into the public school in clubs and classes. When I look back on those years of laughter wonder we had the courage to teach our children to call was insistent, and we had now many loyal friends in the neighborhood. Several times we had to change our quarters, sometimes because the house we were in was too unsanitary to be safe sometimes we could not keep warm enough. For three years I was a shelter in their Sunday School room. Then the Phipps Tenement was built and an apartment on the ground floor was arranged for our use. Here the work grew rapidly in numbers and quality, more clubs and classes, more education managed. We outgrew our apartment and the contribution of friends this present building was reconstructed. But we had by this time continued several activities under one roof, but for various reasons were not able to find them under one management. There was the Day Nursery, the Kindergarten, Free Kindergarten Association), the Music (a branch of the Music School Settlement), and again all our clubs and classes for all ages—and last the summer school and fresh air work. It shows ten splendid spirit of each of these organizations, that in such a large school we worked together so harmoniously for the good of the whole. But all the time Stillman House in 63d street, and we had the vision that sometime we must get together on a more permanent basis for more efficient winter and through the generosity of friends this has been accomplished. With the exception of the Day Nursery the new organization, known as Lincoln House, has taken on all the activities that have been going on at 202 West 63d street. The house has been somewhat reconstructed and entirely done over. The cool light green paint with pretty white muslin curtains looks to the rooms. Our friends in the neighborhood have come and given us their beauty approval of all that has been accomplished. "But at this point you will ask why should the first big meeting be a musical." Here is the story: We had had some desultory teaching of music for two years. But I had always it in the back of my head that the colored people had as real talent to give to the world that they had never had an opportunity to devise. Mr. David Mason and I were working in the same house and over the open fire one cold September evening I told him of my vision. To my delight I found him more than responsive. He too had long wanted to give the colored people an opportunity to develop their musical gift, partly because he knew they had it and partly because his first oppor-tunity was due to a colored mission. And as he said to me, I want to give back to them all I owe. To make a long story short: He and there offered to superintend the music at 202 West 63d street the following response that the following spring a meeting was held in the Union Baptist Church at which he and his wife played and Mayor Moton spoke. The plan for a permanent music school settlement was public, and the next winter the things was an accomplished fact with a house in Harlem. The Music School Settlement has always recognized that it owed its beginning to our work in 63d house in being loyal in continuing a branch there. So after an eleventh years of struggle we are an organization called Lincoln House, a branch of the Nurses Home, and Mise Jillas. D Wald as chairman. We shall strive with the help of friends in the neighborhood and our contributors to be a stronger force for righteousness than ever before.
