DOCTORS CONFER WITH R.R. MEN MEET IN NEW YORK CITY Southern Railway's General Passenger Agent in Conference with Committee from National Medical Association. The Assurance Is Given that Southern Railway Officials Will Make Provision for Giving Negro Patrons Comfort and Courtesy when Traveling. Thursday morning, November 5, at 10:30 o'clock, the transportation committee of the National Medical Association had a conference with H. F. Carey, general passenger agent of the Southern Railway, at which the accommodations furnished Negro patrons of that road were considered in detail. Members of the medical association present were Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, chairman of the executive board; Dr. W. H. Higgins of Providence, R. I., member of the executive board; Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York City former vicepresident of the association, and Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, N. J., secretary of the association. The conference was the result of a letter addressed to the general passenger agent by Dr. Cannon, in which he stated that the national association had, for five years, been holding its annual meeting at points reached by the Southern Railway. The meeting was requested that some understanding as to better accommodations might be reached. In Mr. Carey's reply to the letter of Dr. Cannon he invited the committee to confer with him at the office of A. S. Thweat, eastern passenger agent of the company, 264 Fifth avenue. The invitation was accepted. ```markdown ``` Railroad to Improve Conditions Seated around the office table, in Mr. Thwavee's private office, the committee took up in detail with Mr. Carey the unjust conditions of travel in the South for the Negro. To the matter of indifference of ticket agents when selling colored people tickets, the discourtesy of conductors and breakmen and all other employees to Negro travelers, Mr. Carey stated stated that the president, Mr. Harrison, had issued a special letter of instruction to all employees, requesting them to be courteous to all passengers. Concerning the poor, dirty waiting rooms, with inconvenient entrances and exits, the committee was informed that the roadroad was building improved stations as fast as funds would allow, and that in most cases the colored people were properly provided for. The committee condemned the poor car accommodations for colored people, and Mr. Catey said that as fast as the road could buy new cars, which cost $100 each, they would be so arranged as to make the colored passengers comfortable: that the equipment of the railroad, both stationary and movable, is largely that which the company had in hand at the time the separation laws were passed and it has been almost impossible to adjust this equipment so the colored passengers could be comfortably provided for. In regard to the monopolizing of the coach for Negro passengers by the newsboys, brakemen and conductors, the general passenger agent gave his promise to have it remedied. Dining and Sleeping Car Service; The securing of meals by Negro passengers, both at stations and on dining cars, was taken up, and Mr. Carey promised to consider ways and means to make provision for this need. Concerning sleeping car accommodations for colored passengers, the information was given that a special committee, of which Mr. Carey is a member, has been appointed by the Southern Railway and that every effort will be made by that committee to devise plans for the amelioration of the present unsatisfactory traveling conditions in the South. The matters under discussion were considered from all points of view and each member of the committee, in a dignified and manly way, gave frank utterance to criticisms of the present conditions. The railroad officials, in the same spirit, assured the committee of their willingness to consider anything brought before them in connection with the improvement of accommodations for colored passengers. In closing the conference, Mr. Carey remarked to the committee: "We want you to feel that our hearts are in the right place and we will endeavor and are endeavoring to bring about a proper solution to this problem that will be entirely satisfactory to you and your people."

J., Nov. 11.—Under an order from Chancellor Walker, court proceedings were begun November 2, before Vice-Chancellor Howel against Counselor Alfred B. Cosey, a promi- nent lawyer and one of the leading Negro democrats of the country, to bring about his disbarment from the practice of law because of alleged wrongful practices. Accusations were made by Alfred and Mrs. Bessie N. Conod, 83 Sterling avenue, Orange, N. J., for whom he acted in foreclosure suits and other realty matters. The charges of wrongdoing embraced various transactions in which the Conods alleged that Cosey had obtained papers, securities, money, etc., in wrongful manner. Cosey entered a general denial of the charges. Nelson B. Gaskill, assistant attorney-general, appeared as prosecutor, while Cosey was represented by Thomas S. Henry. U. S. NEGRO TROOPS MAKE ANOTHER RECORD Special in DL, New York, Ask Washington, D. C., Nov. 15. In the Adjutant General's annual report of the U. S. Army the colored troops were conspicuously mentioned. There were 3,882 desertions from the army during the year, being 3.10 per cent of the enlisted force. The regiments that had the lowest percentages of desertions during the year were the 10th Cavalry, 9th Cavalry and the 7th Infantry. The regiments with the highest percentage of desertions were the 5th Field Artillery, 12th Cavalry and 29th Infantry, all white. The percent. of desertions among the white troops was 3.23 and that of the colored 0.64, which was a decrease among the colored troops as compared with the preceding-year of 0.59 per cent. TAMMANY. MURPHY DID Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Hot Springs, Ph., Nov. 10, 10:00 John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the oil king's millionaire son, and Charles F. Murphy, the democratic leader of New York's Tammy Hall, are guests at the Homeestead Hotel, and on Sunday morning both were extended an invitation by Headwaiter R. N. Smith to meetices and speak at night at Smith Chapel, the Negro church at this place. Young Rockefeller accepted the invitation for a later date, but what the leader of Tammy Hall said has not been made public. Headwaiter Smith declined to repeat Murphy's reply to him, and the big chief was even more reticent. WHITECAPS TRY TO MAKE NEGROES LEAVE Social Intr. Nra. Nv. Avt. Ballinger, Tax. Nov. 10—The two thousand Negroes imported into Runnels county by the white farmers for the picking of the big cotton crop, were visited by whitecappers during the night of October 28, and the temporary tent camp which they are occupying was shot into. Noticees were posted warning the Negroes to leave the county. There were only a few Negroes in Runnels county prior to bringing these in. The farmers who imported them have announced that the Negroes will be protected. COLORED ARTIST EXHIBITS PICTURES Special in L.A., New York, Acr. Special in the New York Age Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 11.—William B. Luckett is a student at the Acad- emy of Fine Arts. Three of his pain- ings. "Midsummer." "The·Golden Autumn" and "The Lanterns" were on exhibition at Wanamaker's and won favorable comment. Contrary to Usual Custom, Rents Are Lower than were Paid by White Tenants Dentist, Chiropodist, Clothing Factory Operator, Express Shipping Clerk, Photo-Film Lettering Expert and Dressmaker Are among the Tenants. The demand on part of Negro tenants for high-class, up-to-date apartments in Harlem is being met by the opening of houses in hitherto restricted sections, in some cases with rentals considerably lower than that which had been previously paid by white tenants. At 152 and 156 West 131st street are to be found desirable flats, with large and airy rooms, which have recently been opened to colored people, with the rents lowered. This is a departure from what has been the usual method on part of landlords, who added to the rent for colored tenants, instead of decreasing it. So conveniently arranged are these apartments that some of the tenants have found it possible to use their apartments for business purposes as well as for living. One family gave up the store formerly rented and is conducting business at home, using one of the eight-room flats. Dr. Benjamin T. Witthers and family, his mother, two sisters and a brother-male, have an apartment of eight rooms at 152 West Lloyd Street. Dr. Witthers who graduated with honorable mention last Spring from the College of Dental and Oral Surgery, 302 East 51st street, New York, has his dental office in the hall room of the apartment. Dr. Witthers has only recently opened offices, but he is doing a good business. He has had considerable experience. While Dr. Chas. H. Roberts, 242 West 51st street, was in Europe this past summer Dr. Witthers was in full charge of Dr. Robbins, a dentist serving the United Charity in West 63d street without compensation. Dr. Witthers is a native of Washington, D.C. was a student of the University of Pennsylvania and a clerk in the New York Postoffice for ten years. It was while in the postoffice that Dr. Witthers studied dentistry Dr. Witthers supports his mother, Mrs Martha Witthers, and is guardian of his unmarried sister, Miss Marion Witthers Young Woman is Operator in Factory. Miss Marion Witers has been employed as operator for more than two years with Cohen & Bridge, manufacturers of clothing, with a factory on Broome street. Miss Witers, with other office jobs, is employed at the factory when the old employees went on a strike. All the other colored girls have since been discharged Mrs Wilson, sister of Dr Withews, with her husband, are occupants of the same flat. The eight rooms rent for $55 a month. Mme. Arthur Williams, who for many years was proprietor of a large and well-equipped dressmaking establishment (Continued on page 7.) THE MASTER OF THE WORLD William Russell Johnson, a native New Yorker, and one of the best known men in Greater New York, died early Monday night, November 9 at the residence of Charles H. Lansing, 500 Quincy street, Brooklyn, NY. He had been a cook for six weeks but was coming to bed only since Saturday November 7. He had lived for the past eighteen years in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Downing, 91 Johnson street, but was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Lansing when the total illness seized him. Mr. Johnson was born in New York City in July, 1857, and received his education under the tutorship of the late Pop Peterson, and in the public schools of New York City. He was a mathematical expert and for twenty-five years held a position in the Department of City Works of Brooklyn. He was in the Bureau of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and for many years had charge of the payrolls of the water department. "He was public spirited and of the most charitable disposition. For twenty-six years, he was a member of the African Mutual Relief Society, holding the chairmanship of the board of directors. In 1850 he was secretary of the Chapin Generalic Club and was president of the Society of the Sons of New York in Illinois, a number of St. Augustine Protestant Episcopal Church, and served on the vestry board from 1894 to 1896. The Howard Orphan Asylum had his earnest support, and he was a liberal contributor to all worthy charities. He was interested in the young men of the race and gave considerable of his time and money to their interest. Many of the basketball games and concerts of the young people were financed by him. He possessed considerable property and did considerable business in real estate. He survived by one brother, a resident of Chicago, and a number of aunts and nieces in New York City. The funeral will be held Thursday evening, November 12 at St. Augustine Church, the Rev. George Frazer Miller obituary, with Undertaker George Harris in charge. Interment will probably be in Greenwood Cemetery. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Bishop Mass, Mass. Nov. 11—Boston Negroes object to hearing their children in the public schools sing the old-time southern song "O Susanna" and the particular line to which they take exception is "And killed the hundred niggers." The song is included in a compilation of "Forty Best Old Songs," edited by James M. McLaughlin, director of music in the public schools. When Superintendent Dyer became head of the Boston schools he found that Boston boys and girls were not so familiar with the classical folk songs as they should be, and he recommended that Mr. McLaughlin and his assistants on the Music Commission compile the present list. A part of the edition was placed in the schools about four weeks ago. A memorial later combines began to pour into the School Board, and finally a large petition signed by Negroes was received. It needed no persuasion to convince Mr. Dyer of the justice of the complaint and be promised that the song should be eliminated. Accordingly, a notice was sent from the School Board directing principals to paste a piece of white paper over this page or cut out the leaf. It further suggested that if other songs in this or other books in the schools were offence to the people of the community, they should not be used. The circular concludes: "The music of our schools it intended to promote harmony and not discord. There is sufficient good music accessible to meet all needs without using any that is offensive to any portion of our people." NEGRO M. E.'S DO NOT WANT SEPARATE CHURCH TWO LETTERS ON QUESTION Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore and Dr.R. L. Lee of Mississippi Say, Ministers at Nashville Meeting Did. Not Demand Separation. The action of the recent conference of Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church held at Nashville, Tenn., declaring for Negro bishops and a separate Negro conference has given rise to a number of opinions as its exact meaning. A delegation of Negro ministers called upon the Board of Bishops in Washington October 31 and presented the Declaration of Principles adopted at the Nashville meeting. In this connection it was suggested by the Age of October 29 in an editorial, that since there are already three colored Methodist bodies there should not be another; that there should be an amalgamation of the proposed new body with one of the older organizations. Considerable discussion has been generated because of the construction placed upon the action of the conference, and a general denial has been entered by some of the participants that any decision was reached to withdraw from the parent church. It is acknowledged, however, that there is a growing desire for the exercise of larger responsibility and full manhood rights. Touching on this phase of the matter, the following letters have been received by The Age Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of the John Wesley M. E. Church, 141 W. Hall street, Bahimore, Md., has written a letter correcting what he terms "an erroneous impression" and giving his idea of the scope and extent of the meeting of Negro ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Nashville, Tein, October 21. Dr Lyon's letter is as follows: To the Editor of The Age: "There is an erroneous impression abroad that the Nashville meeting of colored pinisters was to consider withdrawal from the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for fear that Tue Aug. might share this opinion I take this occasion to say that not a single paper read nor speech made, as far as I was able to discern, suggested any such action. The Reason for the Meeting. The council met to express its attitude towards pending legislation, which in the course of events must engage the attention of the general conference in 1916, and likewise the report of the Federal Commission of Methodism. The general conference of 1912, as you will remember, proposed to amend the restrictive rule governing the election of bishops, so as to enable it to elect bishops for races and languages and that such bishops shall appear in parv over sessions. These amendments must be submitted by the Board of Bishops to the members of the annual conferences and of the lay electoral conferences which shall meet in the years 1915 and 1916, for their adoption. OHIO REPUBLICAN NEGROES OUT IN COLD Special to Tyler New York Acq. CLEVELAND, O. Nov. 10.—White the Republicans overwhelmed Ohio, there is considerable, regret among Negro citizens that Tiedrod Green of this city and John C. Logan of Columbus, coored nominees for the State legislature in their respective counties, failed of election. Both in Cuyahoga and Franklin counties, however, the Democra- rists elected their legislative tickets. While these two colored candidates run some what behind their ticket it is sure that this was due to the fact that they were colored: Both had, until very recently, been recognized as colored Democrats and it may be that their nomination on the Republican ticket, upon quick conversion, from democracy to republicanism, was responsible. Now that a Republican governor has been elected, there are scores of colored office-seekers beginning to file their applications for positions. As a rule colored voters, although the balance of power in this state, except in a few years when there were landslides, have not profited much at the hands of Republican governors and pointmen. That stammer friend and porter, Gen. Foraker, when governor only rewarded them with a couple of night watchmen positions, a few janitor jobs, and an assistant oil inspector, held by Harry S. Smith, paying a pittance of about $500 per annum. The present Governor-elect Willis will have more positions to give out than any previous Republican Governor, there being a long list of high-salaried positions. Although his election was due to the fact that the colored vote stood solidly by him rather than swing to the Progressives, as at one time seemed imminent it is not probable the colored voters will be given anything except a few messengerships, janitorships, and perhaps a clerkship or two; for in none of his speeches delivered during the campaign did Governor-elect Willis refer to the colored voter. The assumption among colored men of the State is that Mr. Willis will prove to be no different from his Republican predecessors. Thomas W. Fleming, of this city, who was a member of the State Republican executive committee, will be a candidate for something, and he is just as sure to have the opposition of Harry C. Smith and The Gazette and others in this section. Mr. Fleming has been a standing candidate for years for office of some kind. Membership of the Republican State executive committee is now a thankless, obscure honor, and not since it was occupied by Geo. A. Myers and Harry C. Smith has it amounted to anything except having the representative's name printed on the letterhead. Myers and Smith, when they were membere were positive quantities of committee support. While the colored vote supported Governor-elect Wills, there was neyer at any time any enthusiasm simply because they were doubtful if his election would mean anything for them. They were, however, enthusiastic in their support of Republican Congressional candidates The liquor question was the all-absorbing question during the campaign, and in spite of the fact that the colored ministers supported the anti-saloon movement, the majority of colored voters voted, wet because two years ago the anti-saloon communities voted "no" on the constitutional amendment to strike the word "colored" from the constitution, and by then vote defeated it. They also voted "wet" because the "fra" votes in the State draw the color line Governor Cox, the retiring Democratic Governor, had more colored men serving under him than any Republican predecessor. MOVING PICTURES OF CLEF CLUB TOUR Norfolk, Va. Nov. 11.—The appearances of the Cleb Club of New York in Richmond, Va. Monday night, and in this city last night, brought out crowds exceeding in number any ever attending similar affairs in either of these cities. The programs were rendered in such finished style as to win for the Cleb Club's boys an unparalleled evasion. The Haynes Photo Play, Co. was engaged by President Dan Kidnare to send artists with the boys who are making film pictures of the scenes attendant upon the concerts, and these pictures will be exhibited at the concert and dancescapes of the club which will be the climax of the tour at Manhattan Casino, New York, November 19. Splendid moving pictures are being made of the crowds and of themselves in concert and elsewhere. President Kidnare will join the club in Washington to-day, and assume personal direction of the rest of the tour. WILSON, TO SPEAK AT . . . NÉGRO EXPOSITION Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Washington, D. C., Nov. 11. In a response to an invitation extended by Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond and Judson W. Lyons of Augusta, Ga. , former register of the treasury, and a number of others, President Wilson has promised to speak at the exposition to be held in Richmond next year commemorating the ninth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Washington, Ark. Nov. 10.—The city council has granted a franchise to a company, of colored men for the operation of a light and power plant. The company will build an interurban trolley road between Washington and Columbus, a distance of ten miles, of which four and a half miles are completed. An electric light plant is already in operation. LEADING PRICE FIVE CENTS BISHOP HEARD'S AFRICAN BOAT Rev. J. G. Robinson of Arkansas Makes Caustic Comment on Bishop's Methods Most Important Committee of General Conference Should Be Chosen in Way to Prevent Criticism of its Personnel. BISHOPS PICK MEMBERS Plan of Selecting First Man Elected Delegate by Annual Conference for Membership of Committee Leads to Good Men being Relegated to Background Special to the N.Y. News PINE BUFF, Ark. Nov. 3.—Because of the stand being taken by the Ace as regards graft in the A. M. E. Church, and since the appearance of my recent article in these columns, the wise-ones are looking for, and wondering, "What is next?" I was talking with a certain bishop the other day about "The Sailing of the African Boat," and he said: "The scheme is one that should be spurned by all good thinking people." I agree with him. I admire Bishop Heard, and have advocated, through the papers of the church, bringing him to the States and sending some younger man to West Africa from the 1514 general conference. But, instead of running over the church getting large sums of money to build a boat, and paying more than two-thirds of said money out for railroad fare and other expenses, the bishop ought to be in Africa supervising his work. This scheme looks like a subterfuge to stay in this country. If a boat is needed—and no doubt it is—why not estimate the cost, impress the bishops with said need, and let them collect the amount from their districts and send some to the missionary secretary, and send two-thirds of the amount will be saved, suspicion removed, and the honor of the bishop preserved? The Episcopal Committee. Another thing that should arouse the church to deep interest and action is the appointment of what is known as "The Episcopal Committee." The Discipline says: "The General Conference shall appoint 'said committee.' That would seem that when the general conference assembled, by motion, man after man, the committee would be selected by vote of the general conference. And, because of the duties and great and grave responsibilities of that committee that is the only way to get an honest committee. Before this committee the bishops appear to have their characters passed. This committee assigns the bishops over the church for four years. This committee in a great measure influences general legislation for the church. This committee recommends the election or non-election of bishops; this committee passes upon the retirement of bishops. In fact, this committee towers over all the other committees in the 'general conference in importance and power.' Instead of being selected as the law directs, the bishops make up this committee long before the general conference meets. A custom precedes throughout the church that the "first man" is elected as delegate in an annual conference to the general conference, goes on the Episcopal Committee. The before when the conferences elect their delegate, this firstman throughout the church begins their piling to manage the appointments in his conference. They begin a campaign for the assignment and sending of the incoming bishops. If any irregularities have been committed by a bishop bishops, the Episcopal committee, in advance of the assembly of the general conference, and through the first men of his district, a plan of concessions and manipulations, the arraignments are smoothed out before the conference, the three men meticulously met by "president of us" trunks, come before the general conference, long-faced, with a stern typed report on the character of the list as follows: "We have examined into the laws and conduct of the bishops of the A. M. E. Church, and find all of them to be blame-less in life and "conversation, and we recommend that their characters pass." Bishop Chappelle in Arkansas. Now, listen! I have nothing up my sleeves against a single bishop in our church. But I do believe that of all the committees to be appointed by the general conference, that Episcopal Committee ought to be appointed in a manner so as to remove the most cuspion against the bishop; and I against themselves. Sometimes the biggest trickster and the most crooked riscal in an annual conference is elected "first man" or accused of the deligation, and "second man" or clean, clean, clean, led on the second, third, fourth, fifth, and even later ballots. These men and even consecrated laymen, ought not be deprived of membership on this important committee. What do you my reader, think of that? Bishop W. D. Chappelle is winding up his conferences in Oklahoma, and HISTORY NEGRO SOLDIERS IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Voir Library incomplete with mt. itt. Prl. $1.25 post paid Address: R. E. A.

Bishop Chappelle is a man who believes in, "the square deal" and many are looking for "surprise appointments", or he depends most generally upon his own advice in making his appointments. To Bishop Chappelle, more than to any previous bishop, credit is due for the breaking up of cliques and the elimination of unjust political machines in Arkansas. Shorter College, our State school, which has been operated by the church or nearly thirty years, is taking on new fee under the presidency of Dr. Wm. Byrd and deanship of Dr. J. N. Campbell. Dr. Byrd is beginning his first firm. He hails from Atlanta, Ga, where or many years he was a professor at forris Brown University. We are looking for great things under Dr. Byrd. He is an able speaker, a good preacher and a great scholar. Dr. Campbell is a son of Arkansas. He is a great preacher. They are supported by a strong faculty. Last year an old Negro mother and seven young people, men and women, were convicted and sent to the State penitentiary for a number of years, ranging in terms from five years to thirty-three years. If put in a single term the sentences would amount to more than one hundred years. They were charged with having harbored and mistreated a young white woman who was an orphan. This young woman frequented the home of the old colored woman. The young men and women also visited the home often. They were tried and convicted on the testimony of the young white woman at Conway, Ark. During the excitement several of the men involved had to be rushed to Little Rock for safe-keeping to prevent mob violence. The young white woman (illiterate) was taken from her mountain home after the trial and placed in a Christian school. And now after these parties have served more than a year in the penitentiary she stole out of the school, terrified by an awakened conscience by the teaching at the school, and fled to Little Rock, and went before the Governor in person and made oath that all of the parties are innocent; that the old lady was to her a mother, and that all of those young people both feared and admired her, and treated her with the greatest deference and respect whenever she was about them. The Governor will pardon them. Sunday, October 25, was a dreadful lay at Newport, Ark. Newport has been one of the most liberal places in the South. Here are some of the broadest minded white people to be found anywhere. Here some of the most prominent Negroes of Arkansas live. The wealthiest Negro farmer in the South, Pickens Black, lives just five miles from Newport. When I pastored there I dread some of the bravest utterances and deeds in defense of the Negro if my whole life, and was supported by lawyers, ministers, the daily paper and citizens in general. On Saturday, October 24 a Negro by the name of Davis, in a pistol duel with the city marshal, killed the marshal. He was taken from the county jail on Sunday in broad daylight. He an unmuzzled moth, and hanged in the courthouse yard. WEALTHY WOMAN BUYS NEW YORK PROPERTY From October 6 to 24 Mme. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., founder and proprietor of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. and the Leila College of Hair Culture, Indianapolis, Ind., was the guest in New York of her daughter, Mrs. Leila Walker Johnson, at the Walker's Hair Parlor and Leila College, 108 west 136th street. Mme. Walker was concluding a six-weeks' tour which embraced visits to Boston, Brockton and New Bedford, Mass.; Newport and Providence, R. L.; and Flushing, L. I. Leaving New York Saturday, October 24, Mme. Walker shipped over in Philadelphia, where she spoke before a large gathering. Many social courtesies were extended the madame while she was in the East, and she delivered a number of timely and interesting addresses before large audiences. In the various cities she visited. In the course of the next year Mme. Walker intends changing her 60 residence from Indianapolis to New York, End with that purpose in view she arranged while here for the purchase of Bishop's Court, the residence at Flushing, L. L., of the late Bishop W. B. Derrick. The handsome home of the late bishop, with its spacious grounds, has been held by the estate at a valuation of $40,000, and Mme. Walker paid a sum approximating that valuation for the property, it is understood. The transaction will be for cash, $10,000 having already been paid, and the balance is to be paid up on a satisfactory report from the Title Gapanty Co. The sale was negotiated by Mrs P. A. Payton. It is said that Mme. Walker will spend $10,000 to $20,000 in remodeling Bishop's Court before she moves East. While in the city she purchased a dining-room suite for $2,850, a bed room suite for $2,200, and another bed room suite in odd pieces, for $625.

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 are in good spirits and believe it will provide only so complit great good but 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.

A great many reasons have been assigned for the failure of the Democrats to hold their own in the last elections. But there is one reason which goes deeper than any that has been given, a reason which goes far to account for the failure of the Democratic party whenever it has been entrusted with national affairs within the past thirty-five years.1 During that time the Solid South has been the backbone and guiding influence of the Democratic party, and when that party has come into power it has been the Southern leaders who have come into the high places in the councils of the nation; and Southern leaders are produced under such conditions and are the results of such agencies that it is impossible for them to have the breadth and height necessary for directing the course of a great nation. How are Democratic leaders from the South chosen? They are chosen by one party, by a solid vote. This is done not because of unanimity of opinion, but because of fear of opinion. There is no discussion of broad principles, no appeal to intelligent and independent thought. Only the most petty, narrow and provincial issues are considered. In many instances these leaders triumph by direct appeals to prejudice and all the lower human passions. There are men now representing the South in Congress who got there simply because they were fiercer and more brutal than their competitors in advocating Negro oppression. Do you think that men who are the product of such a system of politics can, by any possibility, stretch themselves to a grasp of great national questions? Do you think that men whose intellectual and spiritual natures have been subjected to such stunting and blighting influences can, by any possibility, rise to the high conception of national duty? WILLIAM RUSSELL JOHNSON, a faithful friend, is dead. We mourn his loss and extend sympathy to his relatives. It is in this way that the South is beginning to pay the terrible price for what it claims it is justified in doing—the evasion and nullification of law, the making of unjust laws, the establishing of a tyranal opinion of the majority, the suppression of all expression of contrary opinion, the commission of acts of cruelty and oppression. SLAUGHTER OF CHILDREN IN THE STREETS. During the past ten months; beginning January 1; there have been 232 children run over by automobiles, street cars, wagons and other vehicles; and killed. This is a terrible toll; and is likely to raise a storm of protest against reckless driving. Yet, it cannot all be blamed upon drivers; the children show a carelessness in playing in the streets that is alarming. The South claims that the status of the Negro since the Civil War has brought about conditions that force them to take these steps, in obedience to a higher law. This claim to justification we shall not discuss now; but this fact stands out, that the people of the South who, from Washington to Lincoln, produced the majority of great historic Americans, have reduced themselves to a state of political slavery and mediocrity that is truly pitiable. Drivers should be more careful; at the same time, parents, should understand and children learn that the middle of the streets are not playgrounds or skating rinks. In this respect, the white South is, perhaps, more to be pitied than the black South; the effects of these Southern conditions on the Negro have been, in a large measure, materially and physically harmful; while upon the whites they have been morally and spiritually evil. COLORED PEOPLE AND THE DRUG JAR THE DRUG HABIT. It has been widely reported that the colored people in the South are the main consumers of habit-forming drugs such as morphine, cocaine, etc., and therefore the more welcome is a report in the American Journal of Public Health by Dr. C. E. Terry, health officer of Jacksonville, Fla., which gives the facts concerning a fairly typical Southern city. The following letter which appeared in a recent issue of the New York "Globe" is an interesting illustration of the sort of emancipation that must become general before the work begun by Lincoln reaches any point near completion: "Editor of The Globe, Sir—I am a southerner by birth, but honesty compels me to express a change of conviction on a subject which has often cropped up in the columns of The Globe—the subject of the Negro in America, and especially in New York. In our country we so often regard the whole race as inferior to ourselves that it comes to us as something of a shock to see any one of them on a plane of intellectual parity with us. Such a shock it has been my fortune to experience. Dr. Terry obtained his information in a novel way. He secured the passage of an ordinance regulating the sale of cocaine and opium, one section of which provided that habitual users could obtain free of charge prescriptions for the drugs from the health officer at his discretion. Thus every excuse for illicit sales was removed, and the victims were brought into personal contact with Dr. Terry himself. "A month ago a friend who knew my pronounced views on the subject lured me into a Harlem lecture room to hear a lecture on 'Modern Materialism.' What was my surprise to find a large and respectable looking white audience listening to a Negro. The data thus secured show that in a city of something over 28,000 inhabitants, there are 646 drug users. Contrary to the general belief, there are fewer Negroes than whites. Jacksonville has about equal numbers of both, but the white drug habitues number 616, the Negroes only 230. Women outnumber men, 380 against 266. "I was angry at first, but I made up my mind to see it through." At the end of the lecture I discovered with amazement that I had been interested, charmed, and instructed. I have heard the same lecturer three times since—on anthropology, economics, and religion—and I have felt thankful to New York for widening my mental horizon. Think of it! An audience (or congregation if you choose) of white people—men and women—which turns out every Sunday afternoon to listen to a man who is not merely colored but black. And they seem to glory in it, as I have almost come to do myself. Morphine heads the list with 37.6 per cent. of all cases. Cocaine comes next with 26.7 per cent.; then other forms of opium, laudanum, 18.8 per cent.; heroin, 4.4 per cent.; gum opium, 2.2 per cent.; and finally 10.3 per cent., who use both morphine and cocaine. Negroes are the largest users of cocaine, whites of morphine. "I doubt that such a phenomenon can be duplicated in any other city in the Union. And when I think that this man sprang from the race which my father and two uncles fought to keep in slavery I begin to think that after all Lincoln's saying may be true that 'The Almighty has His own purposes.' We are very grateful to Dr. Terry for giving to the world the facts which show that the Negro is not the principal consumer of these dangerous drugs. "JOHN T. CARROLL. "New York, Nov. 3." This letter impresses upon us the importance of the emancipation of the white people of the country; and the necessity of every Negro making himself, as far as he is able, an emancipator. We urge our readers to remember the following organizations that deserve contributions or food supplies for Thanksgiving: THE HOPE DAY NURSERY. THE RESCUE HOME. THE WHITE ROSE HOME. THE HOWARD ORPHANAGE. THE BROOKLYN HOME FOR ACED COLORED PEOPLE. We rejoice with Mr. Carroll in his new-found freedom. We are as happy as he is that the cobwebs have been brushed from his brain, and he can think logically; that the scales have been removed from his eyes, and he can see clearly; that the hands have been broken from around his heart, and it can now grow to be a full-sized organ. This paper will be pleased to receive contributions for these charities or they can be sent direct. Mr. Carroll is right in everything he says except one; when he says, "I doubt that such a phenomenon can be duplicated in any other city in the Union," he is mistaken. What he speaks of is not a phenomenon, except so far as it is phenomenal for a white audience to listen to a Negro-speaker; and, even so, it can be duplicated in a The various makeshifts to which the Deimocrats have been and will be further reduced to make the financial ends of the Government meet, justify for them, the slogan—"Tariff for deficit only." score of cities in the Union. The text could be duplicated in several cities right in the South; so far as it would depend upon finding the speaker. ANNUARY PARK AURORA PARK, N. J. SERVICE Bethel A. M. K. Church last Sunday were well attended. At 11 a.m. Christmas preached on John 20:15. At 11 a.m. Mr. Christmas preached from Genesis 17:15. Mrs. Prayer, Sylvan avenue, attended services at Bethel last Sunday after a severe spell of sickness. We earnestly hope that since Mr. Carroll has been emancipated he will turn emancipator and that he will labor for the betterment of his benighted brethren, north and south. The harvest home given by the Willing Workers' Club, Mrs. T. Goins, president, at Bethel Church, was successful. The Rev. J. Johnson of Manquan worshiped at Bethel last Sunday morning. LAWLESSNESS IN THE UNITED STATES. There is a certain sort of American who never tires of proclaiming, in a loud and cacophonous voice that the United States is the biggest, the richest, the most powerful, the most highly civilized, etc., etc., etc., country in the world; since this sort of American's patriotism is expressed wholly in superlatives he might add that it is the most lawless. the Rev. Mr. Morris of Belfrian Baptist Church was a guest at the parsonage Tuesday. Mrs. M. E. Choice, the hair dresser of Springwood, has greatly enlarged her store. The Daughters of Conference will give chapels and waffle supper in Bethel Church on Wednesday evening. November 25. Recent statistics show that the number of murders for each one hundred thousand of population is higher in the United States than in any other country. There is such a wide gap between the figures for the chief cities of Europe and of the United States that it makes comparison almost ridiculous. The Rev. J. C. H. Christmas, G. C. of N. J. K. of P. E. and W. H. left last Monday with several of the officers to the conference held in Mattewan. A strong petition has been sent to the common council by the residents of the city asking the restoration of the Eureka Fire Company, a colored organization of the west side, which was dismissed by the Democratic council. Miss Lee Brewington has returned from Philadelphia, where she spent her vacation. Price of the Second Baptist Church returned home last week from his vacation much improved in health and filled his pulpit Sunday. November 8. That is, in London there was less than one murder committed for each one hundred thousand inhabitants; in Berlin two, in Paris three and one-half. Compare the above figures with the following for three principal cities in the United States: Mrs. Florence Johnson has returned from the hospital where she underwent a serious operation and is doing well. Mrs. Lyles, Ashura avenue, has gone to Philadelphia for the winter. The Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Yeiser have gone to New York to spend the winter in New York. A. B. Mills, proprietor of Gem shoe parlor, has installed a complete hat cleaning outfit and is doing a good business. Major Jones is doing nicely with the People's Lyceum since he has taken charge. Mrs. Bullard of New York City was a guest at the Armond cottage Sunday, November 9. In London, less than one murder for each one hundred thousand inhabitants; in Memphis sixty-eight murders for each one hundred thousand inhabitants! On its face that looks like the difference between civilization and barbarism, and it comes very near being what it looks like on its face. The junior, chair of Bethel Church will give a concert in church next Monday evening. November 16. Mrs. J. Holland of Langford avenue has returned home from Baltimore. Washington, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, where she spent her vacation. Of course, it will be cited that the greater rate shown by the Southern cities is due to the larger Negro population. Indirectly, the Negro is responsible for this; for if they were fewer in number there would be less of them to be murdered. George E. Gordon, secretary of Beneficial Order, will visit Langston Lodge Monday evening. Mr. and Mrs. George Dyalls gave a reception Monday at their residence in honor of W. Ashbie Hawkins' birthday. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schuck, Mrs.-Jackson and-son, H. C. Williams, W. Mitchel, S. Shore, Miss Julia White and Miss Mary James. Refreshments were served. The statistics do not state whether the lynchings in this country are included; at any rate, the lynching record of the United States multiplies, instead of adds to, its figures. It is an unenviable distinction. The United States, the great example of democracy, yet the only civilized state where lynchings are a common practice, and the only spot on the entire globe where would be tolerated the burning alive of human beings. PLAINFIELD, N. J. Phinfield, N. J.-Miss Epic Wallen. Hillside avenue, left for Philadelphia Sunday evening, November 8, for a week's visit with friends. Mrs. T. D. Tilden, Richmond street after three or four weeks' visit with her father in Baltimore, Md., has returned home. THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF "COAL BLAZE." It seems that "Coal Blaze," the one time red hot Governor of South Carolina, has at last been extinguished. He of the fiery words and sulphurous breath had hoped to heat things up in the United States Senate; now, all of that patriotic fervor of his to save his state and the nation by damming the Negro will have to smoulder in his heaving breast. The members and friends of Bethel Chapel in East Fifth street feel the resignation of the pastor, the Rev. F. D. Tilden, very keenly and regret to part with him. The addition to the already popular Richmond street, Thro, Williams and family of Montclair, N. J., now reside there. That leads me to say that statesmen of the "Coal Blaze" breed should, down in the depths of their hearts, love the Negro, no matter how they outwardly revile him; for how could they ever become or remain "statesmen" if they did not have the Negro to revile? Tuesday afternoon, November 30, the 25th marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs W. B. Jones, East Third street, was celebrated at the Nomarel club hall, St. Marys avenue. One hundred and fifty guests were present. The out of town guests were from Fair Haven; Jersey City, New Brunswick, and Camden, N. J. The pastor, who tied the nuptial knot 25 years ago, the Rev. H. H. Newton, of Camden, N. J. now in his-78th year, was present. A beautiful collation in charge of Robert Stevens and Eugene Johsson was served. Whist games and dancing were the amusements of the evening. THE "BUSINESS" ADMINISTRATION AT WASHINGTON. The claim of the Administration at Washington to the title of being "strictly business" has received another boost. First, it was Secretary Bryan who showed how, like the little busy bee, he could improve each shining hour; and pick up a few extra dollars between the signing of peace treaties. Now it is Vice-President Marshall who is arranging to scatter chunks of wisdom among rustic, Chautauquans—at the rate of $300 per chunk. The Oriole 'Football club, Dr. Hobson manager, Dr. Darrah of Howard University, coach, won the first game from the Brunswick 'University team Tuesday, November 3, by a score of 20 to 0. The Oriole team was victorious in the game on Saturday. November 7, when they defeated the Elizabeth eleven by the score of 14 to 0. The following letter, which has been going the rounds of the daily press, fully outlines the plan. The communication is from an officer of a lyceum bureau in Cleveland to the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Wilmerding, Pa., and reads: "I believe I before mentioned to you the Vice-President's terms for a lecture engagement, namely $300. And I believe I also mentioned to you that we undertake to deliver Mrs. Marshall along with the Vice-President. The two travel together. Where the Vice-President has been the ladies of the town have usually given a reception in honor of Mrs. Marshall, making a society event of the function. This is followed by a banquet, given in honor of both, and afterward there is adjournment for the lecture by the Vice-President. The whole arrangement has the approval of Vice-President Marshall, and both he and his wife enter into it in the most friendly and delightful manner. Mrs. Henrietta Grobes, Plainfield avenue, has just returned from Philadelphia, being called there to the funeral of her brother, Elija Barnette. Miss Marjorie Lowery, West 4th street, was taken sick November 7. Find where your old-friends are through The New York Age and make new ones the same way, as The Age is seen on the library table of all the best families of the race. Get acquainted with the agent, and he will take your news; take your subscription or sell you the paper at 325 Plainfield avenue. "The Vice-President is sold at Kittanning, and as I have outlined, this is the programme they are carrying out there." It will be the same at Greensburg, Catawissa and Mercersburg academy, etc. · NEWARK, N J The Rev. Harvey Ouine preached an able sermon last Sunday morning at the 13th Avenue Presbyterian Church. The revival services commenced Tuesday evening. November 10. "I will be glad to hear further from you. For the last ten days we have been engaged in routing the attractions for the coming winter season, and I will be glad to include Wilmerding in the Vice-President's schedule." J. H. Van Lew, a devout church worker evangelistic services, attended the Baptistical services conducted by the Rev. Mr. Hamilton at Westfield last Sunday. The book has been observed as a week of prayer at St. James' A. M. E. Church. Miss Eva May Darden, Nassau street, has entered the Lincoln Hospital and home training school for nurses, New York City; No matter what your opinions may be about conventions and precedents, it doesn't sound just right; does it? The Vice-President of the United States being booked as an "attraction" at $300 per night. Beighalda. Baptist Church held its closing revival "services-last Sunday, which were largely attended and several were admitted to membership and hantized on their profession of faith by However, it is only another evidence that in the present crop of Democrats, the leaders are not of national size and calibre. The Newark District Association of the Newark District has a baby bazaar at the 13th Avenue Presbyterian Church last Wednesday afternoon and evening, the Rev. Dr. J. R. Waters presiding.

BISHOP WALTERS ON DEFEAT OF DEMOCRATS Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National, Coloréd Democratic League, has addressed the following letter to the editor of the New York World, in September, in which he appears, for that paper, Wednesday morning, November 4, discussing the case of the general defeat of the Democratic party in the elections on November 3. Emphasizing the fact that President Wilson failed to keep his promises to Negro Democrats in regard to replacing colored Republicans with colored Democrats in important governmental positions, and that the Democratic policy of segregation was also an important factor. Bishop Walters declares that the defeat of the Democratic party was due largely to the fact that Negro voters withdrew their support. Bishop Walter's Letter. The following is the bishop's letter : Editor, New York Times I remind with truth that your appeal on the cause of the defeat of the Democratic party and congratulate you on the same. (Issue November 4.) However, it seems to me that too little importance is attached to the colored vote—not only that of New York State, but that of the country. More than half a million Negroes are voting to-day and they certainly must have been/a factor in the defeat of the democratic party, this year, for nearly all of them voted the republican ticket. In the election of 1912 the Negroes gave the largest vote ever given by them to the democratic party and helped to elect the national ticket. They were assured by Mr. Wilson before election that the event of his death would give him not "meager, but absolute justice." The Negro took him at his word, rejoicing that it was the first time since Emancipation that a democratic nominee had made so fair a promise. After the inauguration of this able, learned and cultured gentleman a committee of colored democrats called upon him and reminded him of his promise and were assured by him that his pre-election promises were made under the influence of the actions of the South, one of the first acts of his administration was the removal of W. H. Lewis, a colored man, from the office of assistant attorney general and this office finally filled by a white man, when it was understood that colored republicans removed from the office of colored democrats, who if not given the same offices, were to be given offices of equal importance. This policy of the displacement of blacks by whites has been steadily pursued until now. Instead of colored men receiving the Hayton mission, register and assistant register of the treasury, auditor of the treasury, for the navy department, and a half-dozen or more collectorships and the office of a district judge, for the District of Columbia, offices held heretofore by colored men, they have in every instance been filled by white men except the latter, which is in control of the white assistant recorder of deeds. Under this fair pre-election promise the colored people have received but two important places—the Liberian mission which has been held by colored men, and the office of a District of Columbia whose confirmation was unanimously opposed, by the democratic senators from the South. It has been segregation here and segregation there to the shame of the nation and to the disgust of all. In view of these facts what else could be expected of colored men but to vote that is a publican ticket. It is not time that the black man be enraged to the fact that the black man is a factor in American politics? His vote in the East, North and West counts as much as any other man's vote and in a short time the black man's vote, which is now over six hundred thousand, shall have increased to a million. (on the democratic party whose party lament the stupendous value of a black man because of race prejudice?) There is no way to stop the men of color from voting in the sections mentioned for the white men of these sections have determined as they did before the Rebellion, to give the blacks fair play. All this talk about the reopen of the war amendments is bosh, as is evolution, those who study the situation, the schools of the North and a hundred other things testify to this fact. The thoughtful black men of the country are amazed at the glaring inconsistency of the statesmen of the South. Certain Southern States met, raised their constitutions retracting their rights to educational and property qualification. One would think that a people scholastic and courageous would live up to their own laws, but to the certain knowledge of us, all there are places where black men prepared to see every man they denied openly and boldly the right. Character, education and a billion dollars in wealth all accumulated within the past fifty years (which is marvelous) all count for nothing when it comes to the right of franchise for the Christian man. And what of the Christianity man who through color prejudice filch from a brother his rights and privileges? Since I have been the president of the National Colored Democratic League I have come in contact with certain characters prominent in the affairs of the nation. I have been amazed at what seemed to me their lack of comprehension as to what is not the black man as a citizen of this great Republic—for a citizen he is. In conversation one day with a member of the government passing the justice of the separate law, it was offered as indubitable proof of the fairness and justice of the Jim Crow car law, that a colored man, in stating his objections to the law, said that in riding in the separate coach he was often forced to ride with objectionable people. To this statement the cabinet officer made reply that if colored people were objectionable to colored people it was not to be supposed that they will be objectionable to white people. The formidable secretary seemed to have forbidden objectionable persons of all races and that it is the views of these races that should be forced together. But to the point. The secretary seemed to overlook the main point at issue, the principle involved—that in a democracy men of character are equals and the essence of the christian teaching is the universal brotherhood of man, and any legislation that carries on its effects discriminatory and which brands a fellow man as an inferior, no matter what his character, wealth or standing may be, is wrong in principle and damning in its efforts and should, not exist in a democracy and should be forever disarranged by one who so eloquently proclaimed throughout the country the principles of the Prince of Peace. Other times I have been greatly been, how little he is considered in affairs, and how men's high up in authority seek to evade the main issue by cajolery and battery, treating the black man as if he would some good, natural animal to be kept quiet. If these same men, however, but knew with what contempt they are held by thoughtful colored men, in many instances men in character and ability superior to themselves, they would certainly change their attitude and manner of addressing coldred men. And just to think that in a democracy like ours, that on all the boards created by the National Government—agriculture, in which we are so largely engaged—and everything else under heaven, not a Negro's name is to be found on one of these same boards. There are ten or twelve millions of colored people in this country and not once in two years has the President of the Republic called in a committee of the Congress to consult with them concerning their welfare. Some may think that the president of the National Colored Democratic League consulted O. yes, in a few political questions affecting the great questions affecting the race. It seems to me that the time has come for a change of attitude toward the Negro on the part of the government in this country. He is here to say, he is making our education and wealth and his enfranchisement is permanent—a nasty. IN QUAKER CITY Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 11.—For the second time in five months a Negro family in Philadelphia has been mobbed by white hoodlums who disliked having Negro neighbors. The last victims of the mob were members of the family of John Teague, a chauffeur for John Walton, city controller, Teagle, on Monday, November 2, took possession of the house at 6112 Spruce street, a white neighborhood. Thursday evening following in Teagle's absence, about one thousand people gathered in front of the house and demanded that the family vacate immediately. The mob stoned the house, breaking every window pane, wrecking the furniture in the front room, and hitting Mrs. Teague's aged, invalid mother, Mrs. Jones, in the head, knocking her unconscious. A squad of police officers from the station at 55th and Pine streets dispersed the mob but made no arrests. The family will move out. NEGRO ARCHITECT WINS PRIZE CONTEST.

DISSENSION has entered the ranks of the local colored musicians—those who furnish music and entertainment for the delectation of the devotees of the Modern Dances in and about New York. Just at a time, too, when harmony, should exist among them, in more ways than one, discord prevails. Some of the musicians have gone "sharp" and others "hat" on the eve of what is regarded as the keynote of an active campaign inaugurated some weeks ago by white musicians that colored musicians must join the union. Already the white musicians of the union have stirred up a lot of strife by seeing to it that non-union colored men were replaced by colored musicians affiliated with the union at the Jardin de Danse on top of the New York Theatre, and there are many other evidences that a well-defined campaign is being pursued to shoo colored musicians into the union. This remarkable demonstration of brotherly love, congeniality and hospitality on the part of the white musicians would not arouse one scintilla of suspicion were it not that, the past conduct of the union was quite to the contrary of its new policy, and that the white musicians have executed a complete right about face. Until recently, colored musicians were not wanted in the local union, and colored musical directors with colored shows oftimes found it necessary to join the Chicago federation, which was regarded as more friendly to the colored man. But now, for some reason known best to themselves, the white musicians of New York have undergone a radical change of heart, and they are fervently imploring the colored musicians to join with them. The grave charge is made that within the past four weeks colored men have been admitted to the union who, while good trap drummers, etc., would not know the difference between a whole and a half-note if the size of a goose egg. The examination through which colored applicants are put is said to be, in many instances, a farce, so eager are the white musicians, to have colored men join the union. Not so very long ago even some of our best musical directors of colored shows found it difficult to pass the examination, it being so rigid. The letting down of the bars to colored musicians in such promiscuous fashion does incalculable harm. Neither the standard of the naval nor that of the colored musician is raised by this unusual and really mystifying display of charitable consideration. This article is not to be regarded as an attack on the union, for if it can ameliorate the condition of the colored musician in the long run, then hurry for the union. But if Vardaman of Mississippi should suddenly say to the colored citizens of his State, "Come, my dearly beloved fellow citizens, let us love one another and work together shoulder to shoulder," and should he make it possible for colored men to register without regard to the educational clauses which adorn the State Constitution. I must confess that, as great as my surprise would be, my suspicion would be greater that there was lurking somewhere beneath a stack of kindling a gentleman of ebony hue. العربية We usually judge persons and animals by past performances, and had the attitude of the local musicians' union been friendly there would be no hesitancy on the part of colored men to accept the kindly invitation to join. Walter F. Craig has been a member of the union for over twenty years. Up to three years ago half of the members of his orchestra were white musicians, and they were given work constantly. Although Prof. Craig made it possible for white musicians to earn thousands of dollars yearly, it is yet to be recorded that the union found it convenient to throw one cent in his way during all this time. It has been frequently said that whenever Prof. Craig complained about not getting work from the union the excuse given him was that the men did not want to work with a colored musician. Here is another phase of the consistency of race prejudice. White musicians were willing to work under a colored man when he could throw money in their way, preferring to serve under a colored boss than play side by side on equal terms. Today the colored musician is reaping a harvest, due to the craze craze. He is in great demand, due to the ability to play dance, music better than white men. At present the colored musician has the call in the leading dance halls of New York, in the hotels and with members of the Four Hundred. Even the leading dancers, such as Mr. and Mrs. Versom Castle and Joan Sawyer, show a decided preference for colored musicians. Two years ago colored men playing at a big ball for Mrs. Vanderbilt or Mrs. Gould would have created a musician. But not so now. They are playing here, there and everywhere, and in many instances have crowded the white musicians to the background. When Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle first appeared in vaudeville with a colored orchestra the union musicians set up a big howl, but the Castles insisted on using men who could play their music as they saw fit. Joan Sawyer had the same experience, and some of the local theatrical papers still seek to disparage the employment of colored orchestras by white acts. Had it been left to the union, colored musicians, would not be playing for Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle and Joan Sawyer, and the union certainly did not urge their employment by the members of the Four Hundred. The argument is advanced that the waiters, cooks, etc., of hotels could be called upon to walk out if white union musicians called upon them for support in a fight waged against non-union colored men who play in hotels. Waiters, cooks, etc., in New York have been given a severe lesson on strikes during the past three years, and it is extremely doubtful that they are going to worry about who is to furnish the music. When unions, with real brotherly love in their hearts, and with a view to providing an opportunity to all working men, regardless of color, seek the co-operation of colored men, the opportunity should be accepted, for "in union there is strength." But to make a determined bid for the co-operation of colored men after they have learned to walk by their own efforts, and without friendly assistance, does not savor of sincerity or fair play. It is difficult for us to erase from our minds an incident which occurred in Chicago some years ago, when colored waiters employed by Kohlsaat were prevailed upon to strike. Kohlsaat had kept the colored men in his different restaurants for twenty years, despite the persistent efforts of the union to dislodge them. The colored waiters listened to the pretty pictures painted by the union men and foolishly left their jobs. They are still out, as white waiters took their places. Sixteen colored musicians are said to be working at the Jardin de Danse in the place of twenty-three colored musicians who were let out because they did not join the union, which does not appear to be such an auspicious beginning—a loss of seven. But this loss will be slight compared to what is likely to happen if our colored musicians do not demonstrate their capacity to master what has become a most delicate situation, calling for an exercise of common sense and keen business judgment. This is no time to feed on flattery or to bask in the rays of profuse laudations; for times are hard, winter is at hand and the doctrine of practicability, not sentiment, should be strictly observed.

Every act on the bill the first half scored, it being a well-balanced one. Black Carl, who has been engaged for the week, demonstrated his prowess as a magician by performing a number of amazing stunts that baffled the eye. Black Carl, although a well known member of the colored theatrical profession, has for a number of years shown a disinclination to appear on the stage in his line of work, although he ranks as one of the best magicians before the footlights. Were he to work more often he would prove a valuable asset to vaudeville. Perrin & Crosby have a vaudeville offering above the average and have made many friends in Harlem. The act is destined to be as well known in the East as in the Middle West. Sid Perrin is one of the most talented colored performers on the stage, and he is strongly supported by his vivacious partner. Deas & Reed always worked well together, and their act is even stronger since their return to vaudeville as a team. Although much of their material used is old, yet they put it over in fine style and get many laughs. The act has a good finish. Dean & Co. presented a sketch which went big. The piece is well constructed and is acted, by four actors who are well versed in the school of dramatic art. Western & Moore and the Ten Hallow'een Kids help up their end of the bill acceptably. Interest increased in the dancing contest held every Friday evening at the Lafayette Theatre when $10 in gold is given to the winners of the first prize, $7.50 to the winners of the second prize and $5 to the winners of the third prize. The entry list for Friday evening is large. Country store continues to draw large crowds on Tuesday and Saturday eyenings. The Whitman Sisters were the principal attraction at the Lafayette Theatre the second half of the week, and their act was a big hit at every show. The Whitman Sisters have gotten together the best theatrical offering of their career. Much attention is paid to costuming the act, with the result that everybody in the skit makes a fine appearance. Essie and Alberta Whitman carry off singing honors, Essie in ragtime numbers, with her deep contralto voice, and Alberta in ballads with her soprano voice. Mae Whitman, manager of the act and the little Miss Whitman, who is a most promising worker, also stand out, and there are some young comedians in the act who are already meriting respectful consideration. The Carolina Comedy Four and Scott and Simmons helped to make up one of the strongest bills ever seen at the Lafayette the second half of last week. GIVES BOX PARTY. Barron H. Wilkins gave a box party last Friday evening at the Lafayette Theatre to the members of the Smart Set Club of the Astoria Cafe, the Whitman Sisters being responsible for the mournment.

Y. While it was expected that the Howard-Hampton basketball game was to be an annual fixture for New York City, it was not known until yesterday that the game between these institutions would be played at Manhattan Casino on January 15. This is not the only big college game for the local basketball fans as Lincoln University has also signed up to play Howard University at Manhattan Casino on Washington's Birthday, February 22. These games will give a good chance for the alumni of each school to meet former schoolmates and new old friendships. These games will rival the Yale-Harvard and Yale-Princeton games in cheering and rooting as Howard, Hampton and Lincoln have many graduates in Greater New York and the vicinity. Joan Sawyer at Cief Club Dance. President Dan Kildare of the Cief Club makes the statement that Miss Joan Sawyer will positively appear at the concert and dancefest of the club at Maphattatt Casino, Thursday night. November 9. The fact that another orchestra is playing her engagement at the Palace Theatre will not affect her appearance, as that was brought about by circumstances which have no hearing on the case at all. Mr. Kildare asserts that Cief Club patrons will certainly witness Miss Sawyer's dancing. Willis Wins Billiard Match The match game of 3 cushion billiards between Wm. H. Willis and Chas. H. Henry was won by Mr. Willis by the close margin of one point. Aggregate score of 3 nights' play: Henry, 53; Willis, 54.

Robert Black, 25 years old, rushed into the Nineteenth precinct station Tuesday night, displaying a broken nose and a royal flush poker hand, and said he had been "done up." He had been playing poker he said and the others refused to believe, him when he told them he had drawn a royal flush. A number of police went to the barber-shop in Twelfth street where the game was held and cornered twenty-three who were taken to the station, and given 30 days in the county prison. Mrs. G. Wolsey Hodge presided at the monthly meeting of the Freedman's Committee of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Pennsylvania Monday morning in the Church House.

HUNRY TROY oct 2927 --- The resolution suggesting these amendments was passed in the closing hours of the general conference referred to. The question of constitutionality was raised by many, because of the time of its passage a number of the members had left for their homes and it was therefore claimed that the constitutional two-thirds of the body was not present and voting at the time. A similar measure was proposed in 1904 asking for a change of the same rule, in order that bishops for races might be elected. This measure was defeated. Want Bible for Different Languages "It was charged that the colored delegates defeated it because of the jim crow element in it. You will observe that the measure now pending asks for the election of bishops not only for races, but for languages. In it, therefore, not only the colored membership of the church is interested but the other race varieties speaking different languages. The council at Nashville among other things met to put itself on record as favoring this measure not only for itself, but for the other race varieties in the church so that if defeated the responsibility can not again be charged to the colored membership: The other proposition is the tentative report of the Federation Commission. This report proposes the union of the M. E. Church, of which we are a part, the M. E. Church South and the M. P. Church into four quadrennial or jurisdictional conferences under one general conference, distributed as follows: One for the East, one for the West, one for the North, and one for the Negroes. "This arrangement proposes to give to the Negroes full fledged bishops having equal authority with those of other races. If this proposition is ratified by our next general conference it would give to the colored membership equal opportunity to participate in the general legislation of the church, and it would also give them that freedom of action to develop within their own border as a self constituted body. This does not contemplate separation: it contemplates autonomy, which is an entirely different thing." The plan will not destroy our relation to united Methodism. Such an arrangement would open real opportunities for the development of the race along all lines. It would quicken its aspirations and give it an impetus that would be magical in its effects and consequences. Cannot Unite With Other Negro Mitthedists. "In regard to uniting with other distinctively colored bodies of Methodists—as at present constituted—we are not in a position to consider any such proposition. To apply a diplomatic term, we are nondescript, and therefore cannot enter into negotiations of such a nature. The sovereign bodies would have the advantage since we are merely an element in the membership composition of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "We may just as well, however, face the situation fairly and squarely. It is impossible to develop a man without developing his manhood and self-respect, without arousing his aspirations and ambitions. Call the men who lead in this contention for indigenous and racial leadership in the M. E. Church ambitious, self seekers, radicals, or whatever you may please; the fact remains the same that the contention is natural and will increase in magnitude and strength as the selfhood of the 300,000 colored communicants continue to develop and assert themselves. This is the contention that the race is making in every walk of life. It wants leaders of its own race. White men to lead white men and black men to lead black men. Is there anything unreasonable in this? It seems reasonable in politics, why not in the church?" FROM R. L LEE OF MISS. To the Editor of The Age: In your issue of October 29 there appeared an editorial "The M. E. Church," which is either misleading in its purpose, or misunderstood as to its source of information. To quote you—"In another column we carry an important news item relating to the decision of the colored members of the Methodist Church to withdraw and form themselves into a separate organization." Now by reference to the item referred to you will undoubtedly see that no such decision was reached, no, not even suggested or contemplated. Want Larger Responsibility. It is true that there is a growing sentiment in the Methodist Episcopal Church for the exercise of larger responsibility, consequent to its years of preparation and training, hence this has given rise to the question: "Negro Bishops" and "Autonomous Government"—but as we who are in the church understand these term, neither of which was, nor is intended to mean a decision of the colored members to withdraw and form themselves into a separate organization." By a careful reading of the last clause of the declaration of the meeting referred to, you will understand it was simply an endorsement of the tentative plan of organization and revision of the two principal Methodisms of this country, which has already been approved by the general conference of the M. E. Church, South, which convened last May, and now before our church for its consolidation, and as our brother so wisely did seeing that "the colored man is nothing to gain by sectarianism, and are therefore willing to treat our review, upon the New Testament, with the light now be no approve of the plan of the Association Commission for the treatment of Methodism, providing for additional or quadrennial conferences, with identical powers' and privileges, one of which is to be composed of the affiliated colored membership." Now if you can see where these birthres decided to withdraw Again, the average Negro in the M. Church is fully aware of the existence of the three great Negro churches to which you refer, and frequently, as you suggest, some of them as individuals, becoming tired of dealing with cosmopolitan church problems such as we have, and seeing that his chance for elevation or promotion is not commensurate with his "intelligence" or ambition, withdraws and joins some one of these churches, generally after having been promised some big place, but we wish to remind you that that day is fast dying, in the face of the thought, "We built this house." Independent Organization Impossible The good editor, of The Age need not grow any additional hairs over the probability of the Negro members of the M. E. Church withdrawing and forming an organization of their own. First, it is an impossibility. Second, it is unwise. Third, the Negro does not desire it. But, fundamentally, what the Negro wants, in the M. E. Church as he wants it in his country...is full manhood rights and this he is going to have if "it takes all summer." If it takes a hundred years he is willing to continue to struggle and abide his time. Yes, you are right. The Age does not demand any more racial churches—it needs less.

Nov. 12—For the first time in the history of the Supreme Court of the United States a Negro attorney moved the admission of a white attorney to practice before the court William R. Stewart, a Negro attorney from Youngstown. O., was admitted to practice Wednesday in connection with a damage suit brought by James Welsh, of Youngstown, against the Frie Railroad, and yesterday Stewart moved the admission to practice of Emil J. Anderson, another Youngstown attorney. Until recent years there have been very few Negro attorneys admitted to practice in the highest court. Each year, however, records an increasing number of colored attorneys of sufficient caliber to have business before the Supreme Court.

Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, said that what is called the natural order of things, is so inter-related to the teachings of Our Lord: the Immamuel, that men, everywhere, the abundant Life given to them, him is the nature dispassionate, vigorous, responsive, obedient and joyous willfully gives up the fruits, herbs, minerals, precious stones, various metals, wild, hide, deaf of heat, birds and fish for the flesh of man. She has no special privileged to become heirs of her endless wealth. She has been constantly lavishing her goods upon all who would take them, since time began, yet in her store house, there is abundance, for all present and come. Wrapped in her donation of her life, she has light she has for those who will love her and love her larger, higher, better and more beautiful things than man has ever seen. As we contemplate the order, harmony and vital energy everywhere, we stand in a statement from Our Lord, the Immamuel. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved." cosmic salvation. The Father's great love for the Son caused Him to give all things into His hands. The Son's great love for us causes Him to give Himself for us, and to give his Father glory: by restoring us into His favor. The resolve behind every thought and example was love. He spoke and exemplified what he cared for, and pressing for ages, that a man's life is not in the abundance of the things which he possesses, and that life is more than meat and the body more than ruinage. I doubt there is violence and illwill anywhere, except the human, family, Solliness, greed and gain have corrupted our existence, and have lifted it to spiritualness and, similarly, to artificial and complexity. This state of mind produces anxiety, suspicion and brutality. The Immanuel as we see Him in nature, obey Him in us, chargus our being with Love force, this love force supplies the needs of the spirit man. The spirit light illuminates the natural, body, sustaining it for such service as Work and Love perform it. The work done by Him is death work, but life works. We know that, he is uniting all into a true eternal brotherhood, not through human courts of justice, but through the Holy plan founded by love, fostered in love and saving all in eternal love.
