COACH REFUSED TO OUST NEGRO Edward Williams of Brooklyn School Objected to by Cornwall Team When Colored Boy, Star on. Commercial High Team, Warmed Up, Boys Got "Cold Feet" Player School White Brooklyn Coach Refused to withdraw Williams from Team, or to accept any Hospitality whatever from the New York Military Academy Team. Edward Williams, who lives at 156 Holmes street, Corona, L. I., and is EDWARD WILLIAMS a member of the class of 1915 of the Commercial High School, Albany avenue, Brooklyn, was the cause of an abolition of race prejudice on part of certain members of the football team of the New York Military Academy at Cornwall, N. Y. . . last Saturday, when the football team of the Brooklyn school journeyed to that village to play a scheduled game with the cadets. Williams is left tackle on the Commercial High, and is said to be one of the best scholastic players in the city. The team, in charge of Robert Shaerer, coach, who is also a teacher in Cornwall and is headed at Cornwall shortly after 10 o'clock and immediately dunned uniforms and started warming up. Some of the Cornwall players saw Williams on the field and took note of the way he handled himself. After which the military boys walked to the sidelines. . Would Not Line Up Against Negro. Tom Thorpe, the academy coach, ordered his men out on the field to warm up, but they demurred. "Not on your hires," said one, "you can't get me to line up against that _____," pointing to Williams. Thorpe then approached Mr. Shearer and told him, "You'll have to withdraw the Negro or there will be no game." The High school players and their friends who went from New York to see the game crowded around the two coaches. Mr. Shearer told Thorpe that Williams had played against many different teams, including all the New York high schools, and that the young men composing the various teams were of as high quality as anybody on the military academy team. "Never heard an objection to him before, and he'll play now or there'll be no game." But Thorpe was insistent that the Negro be withdrawn. The Brooklyn boys declared that the academy boys were afraid to play against Williams. Said one of them; "They were afraid to play with us after they saw what we could do. That's a fine bunch from which to make soldiers. They might do all right at a sewing bee." Brooklyn Coach Designed All Hospita- tility. The academy boys had guaranteed the expenses of the visitors, who were also to be their guests at luncheon. After the game had been called off, one of the academy boys said to Mr. Shearer, "Come on to luncheon." "We want none of your hospitality," said Mr. Shearer; "we will not accept our expenses from you, nor will we touch your luncheon or ride to the station in your buses." The Brooklyn boys can get into their street clothes and walked three miles to the station. Williams took no part in the altercation and had no comment to make. He let it be known that he was ready to drop out of the lineup to preserve peace, but Coach Shearer would not consider for a moment any proposition to eliminate Williams. The young hero is very popular with his schoolmates. He is a member of the track The New York Age team and his work has added several points to the school's score. He has been on the football team two years, and for the same length of time a member of the baseball team. He has been elected captain of the baseball team for the next season. He was president of the general athletic association of the school for 1913. He has made a splendid record in his studies, and has been a member of the debating team for two years, being a member of the team which won the debating championship in 1913. He will graduate next year. CHARLES BANKS TO PROTECT INVESTORS Special to The New York Age Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MOUND BAYoung, Miss. Nov. 17—In order personals who bought stock in the Bank Bayoung, Miss. because of his connec- tion therewith might not suffer loss through the bank's suspension, Charles Banks has assigned to them stock in the Mound Bayou Oil Mill and Manufacturing Co., owned by him personally, to the value of the stock owned in the defunct bank. This will cost Mr. Banks a large sum, but he takes this step that persons investing in the bank's stock will not lose money through an investment based largely on confidence in him. The oil mill is a going concern, running night and day, and while it probably will not pay dividends until entirely out of debt, the stock is easily worth at least par at present. Mr. Banks is taking this step without solicitation and of his own initiative. COLORED MAN GETS $200 FOR DISCRIMINATION Benjamin D. Gibbs, a colored man, 33 West 99th street, recovered judgment for $200 against Arras Bros. proprietors of a saloon at 242nd street and Broadway, after a trial before Justice Frederick Spiegelberg, at the 5th District Municipal Court on November 17. Mr. Gibbs, who is a member of a cricket club, went to Van Cortlandt Park on June 13, 1914, with a friend, Dr. J. K. C. Megahy. 15 West 99th street, and they alighted from the subway at the 242nd street station. They went into the saloon conducted by Arras Bros. at the foot of the station and Dr. Megahy ordered a glass of beer and Mr. Gibbs a glass of gin. The bartender told them that the beer would cost them fifty cents and the gin one dollar, whereupon they walked out. Mr. Gibbs then brought an action in his own behalf and in behalf of Dr. Megahy through his attorney. Samuel Schwartzberg. 299 Broadway, and although the bartender inappetent swathed that they had not been in the saloon on the day in question. Justice Spiegelberg said that he believed the colored people and accordingly gave judgment for them. Mr. Schwartzberg is the attorney who successfully handled the similar case of Aldwin C Babb against Ralph Elsinger which was the first case in which the Supreme Court of this State held that a colored man could sue for such a discrimination by a saloon keeper. WASHINGTON SPEAKS AT WILLIAM AND MARY Special to The New York Arg NAPOLI, Va. Nov. 17—In connection with his visit to Norfolk and the Peninsular region of Virginia this week, to speak at the annual meeting of the Virginia Organization Society and at several meetings arranged at various points on the Peninsula, by Major R. R Moton and other officers of the Virginia Organization Society, Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, visited Williamsburg, the seat of the second oldest college, in the United States. William and Mary College stands foremost among the educational institutions for the education of white Southern young men and women. When it was announced that Dr. Washington was to speak at the Court House of Williamsburg, at one of the meetings of the Virginia Organization Society, the officers of William and Mary College extended an invitation to have Dr., Washington visit the school and speak to the students of this time-honored institution. Warm Welcome at William and Mary No white educator or prominent citizen could have been more cordially received nor warmly welcomed than was the Tuskegee. The young men and women of William and Mary College applauded, most warmly, the telling points of the address delivered by Dr. Washington, and especially those particular pleas of his for his play at the hands of the white citizens of the South in the midst of whom the Negro people live. His plea for closer cooperation in all the essentials for mutual helping in the South, was also received with every evidence of approval. After the meeting Dr. Washington was photographed with members of the faculty and officers of William and Mary College, and there was nothing, whatsoever, to indicate that there was not, on every side, the keenest appreciation of the fact that a great Southern educator was visiting William and Mary College. In presenting him to the students of the school it was indicated, by the presiding officer that there is, at this famous seat of education, the keenest appreciation of Dr. Washington's contribution to the educational life of the country. William and Mary College has a distinguished list of graduates; among others are Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Tyler and W. H. Harrison; also Chief Justice John Marshall and General Winfield Scott; and in later years, representatives from the most distinguished families of the South. The school was founded in 1693. COLORED DEMOCRATS REVOLT AGAINST WOOD COLORED DEMOCRATS REVOLT AGAINST WOOD DEMAND HIS RESIGNATION Wood Resigns but Remarks That He has Ordered Colored Democrats to Get Out of Club House, Said to be His Personal Possession. While Charles Murphy is having a disagreeable time in Tammany Hall it appears, from all accounts, that his good friend, Robert N. Wood, is having his troubles in the Tammany annex, the United Colored Democracy, of which organization the said Wood has been for some time the chief. It is reported that a meeting of the executive committee of the United Colored Democracy was held Friday evening, November 13, at which time thirteen of the nineteen members, led by Arnus Hughs signed a statement in which charges were made against Chief Wood, charging him with seventeen specific acts, ranging from treason to his organization down to alleged dishonesty. A demand was said to have been made upon Wood that he resign from the leadership of the United Colored Democracy and as chairman of the executive committee. Not only is it reported that he acceded to this demand, but it is also said that his friend, Counselor J D Carr, vice-chairman of the committee, became nettled because a financial report was demanded from him by the committee and resigned as vice-chairman, but held on to the treasury-ship. The position of leader of the United Colored Democracy is to be filled at a special meeting called on November 25 Thomas A. Church and Cornelius A. Hughes are favored by the district leaders, it is said. Mr. Hughes was seen and asked as to his candidacy, but he expressed himself as favoring the selection of a new leader, and has been holding its meetings in a building which is said to belong to Mr. Wood, and it is understood that he will oust the organization. To Sue for Possession of Club House Some of the members make the claim that the building should have been purchased in the name of the organization and not by Wood personally and declare that as soon as the new leader is elected suit will be entered to recover possession of the property. In speak of the president, Mr. Hughes stated that Tammy Hall had supplied a fund of $1,000 for the equipping and maintaining of head partners for the organization, but that only about $120 worth of furniture was in evidence. The following is a copy of the statement signed by thirteen members of the committee, in which the specific charges are made, against Robert N. Wood: New York, Nov. 13, 1914. To the members of the Executive Com- To the members of the Executive Committee, United Colored Democracy, County of New York: Gentlemen. — It is charged that there is general dissatisfaction prevalent in the United Colored Democracy. That one thousand dollars which was donated by Tammany Hall for maintenance of headquarters has been dissipated and there is nothing to show for it except a bit of second-hand furniture, and that this has been brought about by a lack of executive ability and the self-exploitation of the leader of the organization. Had to Pay for Press Notices That the present leadership has caused the alienation of many prominent Democrats, which in turn has caused a hostile colored press to attack the organization as never before, and that under the present leadership the only kindly mention we receive in the colored press is through matter which we pay to have inserted. That money donated by the Hall is recklessly handled, injudiciously expended and wrongly diverted from the districts to which it has been sent. That the autonomy of the districts is ignored and district leaders weakened by lack of method in the distribution of patronage. That there is entirely too much of the "BIG I" and "little you" in the important affairs of the organization. That leaders who hold exempt office and others who hope for appointment dare not differ with the present leader for that reason with the offer of the fate of Larsen Robinson and McNeil. That the present leader seems to be bogging it when he insists on being State Leader, County Leader, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Chairman of the Finance Committee, Lorderd and General Printer to the organization. That Mr. Wood showed that he was not in touch with the spirit of organization when he assured Mr. Murphy that colored men would work as loyalty without money on election day as white men would with money. That the club house under his leadership has been wolfly mismanaged and many prominent colored Democrats have never darkened its doors. That his arrogance and temper have most effectively closed the door of hope for securing any recognition for us under his leadership in the Federal departments. That he has failed to ever submit an accounting to the organization through its secretary of any money that has passed through his hands for the organization. That his constant dragging of the organization into outside affairs for which, as a county political organization, we have no concern, have brought discredit to us, while the profit, if any, has been his. That because of his personal disappointment in seeking high political prefere- ment, he permitted himself as leader of the organization to become unnecessary and insulting in his criticism of the president of the United States. That he has arrogated to himself not only political power not conferred upon him by the organization, but has sought to be the arbiter of our social relations with the world, and members feel the weight of his wrath who dared to revert his arbitrorship. Must Stand Barrheaded in His Presence. That the personal equation with him has reached a point where it seems to have become a mania, and he really believes himself insulted if members of your committee fail to uncover their heads in his august presence. That he has sought to be more powerful in our organization than Mr. Charles F. Murphy is in Tammany Hall, for Mr. Murphy holds but one chairmanship in the Democratic party—that of the finance committee. That it is deemed for the best interest of the United Colored Democracy that a change of leadership be demanded. That realizing his many shortcomings and the lack of harmony it has engendered, it is the sense of the undersigned members of the executive committee that Robert N. Wood be requested to hand in his resignation as leader of the organization; and that, failing to so-do, the office shall be declared vacant and his successor elected. (Signed) John B. B. Douglass, 21 A. D.; Valentine Thomas, 25 A. D.; Jacob H. Lux, 9 A. D.; Sidney D. Alston, 11 A. D.; Samuel George, 29 A. D.; Burgess Holland, 17 A. D.; George E. Anderson, 31 A. D.; J. L. Jefferson, 23 A. D.; Silas Brown, 26 A. D.; Eugene Johnson, 5 A. D.; Giles Wilkerson, 19 A. D.; Bogers Griffin, 13 A. D.; C. A. Hines, 18 A. D. In test of strength, after Wood's resimitation, the friends of Hughes united and elected Dr. Val Thomas as chairman and John B. Douglass as vice-chairman of the executive committee. A. M. E. MONEY TIED UP.IN.BANK FAIURE WASHINGTON, NO. 15. -With the release of Lewis Johnson & Co. bankers and brokers, probably all of the available funds of the financial department of the A. M. E. Church are temporarily tied up. The Johnson firm went into voluntary bankruptcy Monday, following the claim of three creditors that the concern was bankrupt. Financial depression caused by the European war is the reason assigned for the bank's financial liabilities. The bank is a private concern, organized in 1858, and has no Clearing House connections. A. M. E. Depository for 30 Years. The financial department of the A. M. E. Church has made the bankrupts depository for the past thirty years. During the term of Bishop John Hurst as financial secretary as much as $50,000 was on deposit there at one time. He also maintained a large deposit with a national bank. It is not known now whether Prof. John R Hawkins, the present financial secretary, made the bankrupt concern the only deposition. The financial department handles over $200,000 a year in "dollar money" collections. Out of this is paid the salaries of bishops, general officers and other contingencies, besides part of the expenses of the Church Extension and Educational Boards. The failure may cause a temporary suspension of these payments. NEGRO SCHOOLS NOT TO GET EXTENSION FUNDS WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 18—The Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations holds its annual session in the New Willard Hotel, November 11, 12 and 13. The leading subject discussed was the Smith-Lewer Extension. Act recently passed by Congress. No one seemed competent to interpret the mission of this act, but it was generally conceded that the funds appropriated should be expended through one educational institution in each State. If this is done, no Negro institution will be permitted to handle any of the funds. This act requires that each State appropriate a dollar for every dollar appropriated by Congress for extension work to be carried on among the rural population in each State. None of the money is to be extended for teaching in the schools. Representatives from Negro schools of eleven States are present as follows: Alabama, G. R. Bridgforde, of Tuskegee Institute; Arkansas, W. S. Harris, of Branch Normal* College; Delaware, W. C. Jason, of State Colored College; Florida, F. H. Cardozo, of Florida A. and M. College; Georgia, R. R. Wright, of State Industrial College; Maryland, J. A. Turner, of the Baltimore City High School*: North Carolina, J. H. Bluford, of A. and M. College; South Carolina R. S. Wilkinson, of A. and M. College; Tennessee, W. L. Hale, of State Normal School, Virginia, G. P. Phenix, of Hampton Institute, West Virginia—Brydler Prillman and A. W. Curtus, of the West Virginia Colored Institute. The representatives of the Negro schools held a special conference at Howard University on the afternoons of November H and 12. P. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education, and Dr. W.'O. Thompson, president of Ohio State University, made addresses: Members of the conference were entertained at dinner by the deans of Howard University.

NO AUTHORITY Interest was at Eden Camerata. MONEY FOR William Carl Bolivar, affectionately known by scores of friends throughout the United States as "Uncle Billy" was one of the best known Nero lobbies in the country. He was a connoisseur in rare books written by or about Negroes, and his collection gave him prominence in the ranks of modern American literateurs. To visit the Bolivar residence and take a book at "Uncle Billy" "nergroid literature" as he styled it, was always regarded a big treat by all-men women and children. Not a day hardly passed that the deceased did not add some book or permit a dealing with the Negro to his collection. Every Christmas William Carl Bolivar sent to young colored women in the various cities throughout the country books dealing with some place of the Negro question, signed "Uncle Billy," and those presents will be greatly missed this year. Numerous male friends were also yearly recipients of similar gifts. An Old Philadelphia. Within Carl Bohar was born in Philadelphia 70 years ago.

NORFOLK CITIZENS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE NORFOLK, Va. Nov. 17—Not since 1806 has Armory Hall held such a large assemblage as that which gathered Thursday night, November 12, to hear Booker T.

I learn that you are the president of a movement organized to resist the revenue for the Republic of Liberia. I am at a loss to know who authorized the use of the Republic of Liberia for collecting money from the public. Liberia is represented in this country by a congressional daily, recognized by the United States Department and by the United States Department, and by our organization were not aware of this fact. Even if government if you could hardly be excused of the charge of impropriety, which might lead to trouble. No one has any right whatever to collect funds in the name of Liberia without warrant. Liberia has neither authorized you nor your organization to use your name in getting money for any object whatever. Liberia being a sovereign nation, its representative would not be included to deal with anyone guilty of such impropriety as a private individual, but would be compelled to call the attention of the State Department of the United States Government, of which you are a citizen, to check the unwarranted usage of your organization for which your organization seems to be operating. Unwilling, however to take any such decision, I hereby take this public method to notify you that the purpose of your organization is to operate the newspaper quote you correctly is offensive to the national sense of the Republic. TO-NIGHT LEADING MARKET PRICE. FIVE. CENTS WILSON BEHIND SEGREGATION President of the United States Endorses Segregation in Governmental Service GETS MAD WITH NEGROES Declares Delegation from Equal Rights League, Was Insulting because They Dared Object to Jim Crow Government. CALL IT ECONOMIC POLICY Wants the Negro to Separate Himself from White People—Has Proven Equal Efficiency with White Race—Rebuked Spokesman and Dismissed Delegation Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Washington, D. C., Nov. 18. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, told a delegation of Negroes from the National Independence Equal Rights League—which called on him Thursday, November 12. to protest against segregation of Negro employees of the government, that segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races; that the thing to be sought by the Negro was complete independence of white people and that he felt the white race would do everything possible to assist them; that the question of segregation in the departments was not a political, but a human problem. To these statements the delegation took exception. William Monroe Trotter of Boston, as spokesman, declared to the president that colored people did not seek charity or assistance but that they took the position that they had equal rights with whites and that those rights should be respected. He denied there had been any friction between the two races before segregation was begun, and suggested that unless the administration abandoned the segregation policy the Democratic Party could expect the united opposition of the Negro voters in 1916. He charged that the administration had been influenced in its decision by Secretary McAdoo, Postmaster General Burleson and John Skelton Williams, Controller of the Currency. The President Gets Mad. "Two years ago," said Trotter, "you were thought to be a second Abraham Lincoln"—the President tried to interrupt, asking that personalities be left out of the discussion. Trotter continued to speak, and the President finally told him that if the organization he represented wasted to approach him again it must chose another spokesman, that Trotter's tone was offensive. Here, Trotter denied that he had any passion, but the President told him he had spoiled the cause for which he had come and said he exaggerated those who professed to be Christians to come to him in a Christian spirit. Called Traitors to Race Trotter continued to argue that he was merely trying to show how the Negro race felt, and asserted that he and others were now being branded as traitors to their race because they advised the colored people "to support the ticket." The delegation presented a resolution of the Massachusetts Legislature and letters from several Massachusetts Democratic members of Congress protesting against race segregation in the government departments. The President said he thought his colleagues in the government departments were not trying to put the colored employees at a disadvantage, but simply to make arrangements which would prevent friction. He added that the question involved was not a question of intrinsic qualities, because all had human souls and were equal in that respect, but that for the present it was a question of economic policy whether the colored race could do the same things that the white race could do with equal efficiency. He said he thought the colored people were proving that they could, and that every one wished to help them and that their conditions of labor would be bettered. The entire matter, however, should be treated with a recognition of its difficulties. Claimed to be Insured. President Wilson informed the delegation that never since, he had been in office that he been addressed in such manner, he had been at any time in the future, he should consent to receive representatives of the league, that body would have to resignate another spokesman. After the interview, which had been scheduled for fifteen minutes, had continued for nearly an hour, the President reknuckled Trotter for the aggressiveness of his attitude and dismissed the delegation. Trotter led the way from the President's office. Once outside he said: "What the President told us was entirely disappointing. His statement that segregation was intended to prevent racial friction is not supported by the evidence that employees have worked together in the government departments in Washington. It was not until the present administration came in that segregation was drastically introduced, and only because of the racial prejudice of John Skelton, Williams, Secretary McAdoo and Postmaster General Burleson." Mass Meeting Sunday Night. Others in the delegation included the Rev. Byron Gunner, of Hilburn, N. Y.; president of the league; Thomas Walker, chairman of the Washington branch of the league; M. W. Spencer of Wilmington, Del, the Rev. E. E., Ricks, F. Morris Murray, of Virginia. Sunday night, November 15, a mass meeting was held at the Second Baptist Church, the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor, at which time members of the delegation denied that language which might be termed insulting or insolent had been used at the White House on Thursday. Speeches were made by W. Bishop Johnson, M. Hewlett, W. Spencer, Judge E. M. Hewlett, the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, F. Morris Murray, T. Thomas Fortune and Armand Scott. The meeting adopted a formal protest to the American people against the policy of the Federal Government to draw the color line and to establish a "jim crow government," as is evidenced by the fact that for the first time in the history of the government the President of the United States has pronounced the administration's policy as one of racial discrimination.

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

TEAR OFF HERE AND MAIL Entered at the Post Office at New York as Second Class Matter. Published on Thursday of every week by Fred R. Moore, 247 W. 46th Street, New York. PRESIDENT WILSON'S "NEW FREEDOM" AND THE NEGRO. When a man gets mad or drunk, he blurs out the truth; that is, the truth which he would not utter under normal conditions. President Wilson got mad at the delegation from the Equal Rights League, that had an audience with him last week, and he blurted out the truth, the truth about how he really feels toward the Negro. The country now knows what his impurts sentiments are. There may have been other Presidents who held the same sort of sentiments; but Mr. Wilson bears the discreditable distinction of being the first President of the United States, since Emancipation, who openly condoned and vindicated prejudice against the Negro.

Box 99, Port Lima, Costa Rica. In effect, the President dismissed the delegation summarily. It was given out from the White House that the audience, terminated as it did because the spokesman of the delegation lost his temper and became insolent and offensive in his remarks. Any one who will carefully read the reports of the president can see that it was really the President who lost his temper and that it was only the President who made any remark that could be termed offensive. And he lost his temper because he did not like being told the truth about a disagreeable subject. If Mr. Wilson's heart and his brain had been on the right side on this question, he could have patiently listened to whatever was said.

The general charge of "insolence" savors too much of a false standard of dignity; or worse, it smacks just a bit of a despatch that might be received from any Southern community at any time, which reads, "Negro lynched: cause, insolence to white man."

Miscellaneous @ display advertising will be received in THE ACR Office no later than Wednesday, 10 a. m., of each week. The President is quoted as saying that he had not been addressed in such a manner since he entered the White House. We are prepared to believe that is true; but, what could he expect under the circumstances? THE FIGHT OF THE AGE AGAINST SEGREGATION AGAINST SEGREGATION. From the first moment that segregation showed its head in the Departments at Washington. The Age has fought the monster with all of its strength. Even before those whose votes and influence helped to make this condition possible had awakened to the damage and danger. The Age had raised its voice in protest. Could he expect men making a plea for fundamental justice for their own race to indulge in the polished, dispassionate and soulless phrases to which he himself is given? Could he expect them to talk as though they were discussing an appointment to some fourth-class post-office? We do not know what Mr. Trotter said, but it is certain, if he had in any way overstepped the bounds of propriety, the facts would have been clearly set forth in the newspaper reports. No man with any sense of fairness can justify the President's segregation policy. It is wrong in general, because it is contrary to law, because it is contrary to the spirit of democracy and Christianity, because it is contrary to enlightened humanitarian thought. It is wrong in particular, because it is contrary to what has been the common practice for fifty years, and because it is enforced against a class of colored people that furnish no reason for it. The colored clerks in the Departments are all men and women of education and no small degree of culture. In fact, it is not an overdrawn statement to say that; in educational equipment, the colored department clerks average above the white clerks in the same grade; for, whereas a colored college graduate must seek such a position, the white university man can go into unlimited higher vocations open to him. Segregation by the Government in Washington is not yet wiped out, and The Age will keep up its fight with all the strength it can command until this reproach upon the Government and humiliation to the race is dead. Not since the Civil War has there arisen anything that so threatened our status as citizens as this color line drawn officially and sanctioned by the very head of the nation. If such a vicious principle were allowed to grow and spread we should ultimately be rendered to a state second only to slavery. As Negroes, we resent the President's attitude and action. As an integral part of the republic, we are mortified to see the head of the nation make himself an apologist for discrimination between citizens on the basis of color. The President has preached "The New Freedom," he has raised his voice against religious prejudice, he has used the influence of the United States, backed up by the power of its army and navy, in the interest of the landless peons of Mexico; but not one word has he uttered for fair play to the ten million Negroes in this country; not one word of hope or encouragement has he thrown out to them; but whenever he has used his great-influence, it has been against them and for their humiliation. In this fight against what the New York "World" calls "Jim-Crow" Government the whole race should unite. THE "TIMES" AND THE FRANK CASE. Mr. Wilson, the men who waited upon you did not go to ask any favors; neither did they go to have a Sunday School lecture read to them from a primary catechism; nor to be patted on the head and told to be "good little niggers and run home"; no, those men went as citizens of the United States to you as the Chief Magistrate of the nation to ask that you investigate and correct an unwarranted wrong that had been put upon their race, a wrong which it permitted to grow would eventually rob that race of self-respect and place upon it an official government badge of inferiority, that is what they went to ask, and it vexes you, it makes you angry, they shall not be allowed another audience. Great God! what can be this Democratic Administration's conception of Democracy? Speaking of the action of the Supreme Court of Georgia in refusing to set aside the verdict of the jury which convicted Leo Frank of the murder of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, the New York "Times" declares there is the gravest doubt of Frank's guilt. And why? Because he, a white man, was convicted in a southern city by a white jury, "on the evidence of a wretched degenerate Negro," as the "Times" phrases it. In this whole matter, Mr. Wilson's attitude, while not in keeping with his position as President of this great nation, is, at least, explainable by what we know of him. But it is incomprehensible where those members of the delegation and other colored men who voted for Wilson two years ago ever got the idea that he would act differently from the way in which he has acted. What single deed or utterance in his whole life has there ever been that could be so construed or twisted as to give them the faintest hope that Mr. Wilson would prove a second Lincoln? or even a second-rate Lincoln? The Negro Conley, who was tried first and sentenced to the state penitentiary for complicity in the crime, was the principal witness against Frank. But the "Times" says further: "All the antecedent probabilities, reasoning from the characters of the two men, tend to confirm the belief that Conley was guilty. Frank innocent." The "Times" would therefore have its readers believe that "a wretched, degenerate Negro" has fastened his crime upon a poor, innocent, cultured white man. It is, perhaps, after all, a good thing that the incident happened as it did. If Mr. Wilson had listened to the delegation, and made some cautious and perfunctory remarks about "looking into the matter, etc." nobody would ever have known that the Equal Rights committee had waited upon him, and, most probably, nothing would ever have been done. As it is, the attention of the country has been focused upon this wrong, and the judgment of the American people, which at bottom stands for fair play, will be brought to bear upon it. It is probable that public opinion will call a halt on this retrocession to ante-bellum tenets, and blot out this reproach on our national government. NEGRO NOT SO BAD OFF. NEGRO NOT SO BAD OFF. A number of colored papers have carried a notice to the effect that the legislature of the State of South Carolina has passed a law forbidding the employing of white teachers in Negro public schools. This is not true. To the Administration and all who stand against giving the Negro in this country a fair and equal chance you had as well take notice now as later: The Negro question will never be settled until it is settled right. You mayade, you may postpone, you may circumvent, but it will ever spring up to confront and confound you. Although the legislature did pass such a law, the Senate failed to ratify it, hence there is no such law in the State of South Carolina. Do not deduce yourselves with the thought that we are so weak that life and spirit can be crushed out, of us, that we can eventually be ground down and reduced to nothing. We are of a race that has never despaired or died; other races may wither before you, other races may come and pass away, but we are of a Race Eternal, we are of the Mother of Races. A despatch from Washington says that the President has received several letters from colored men congratulating him upon the rebuke he administered to the delegation of colored men that waited on him last week. We wish the President would publish the letters with the names of the writers. We are ten million loyal citizens of this republic; we have helped to till its soil and we have helped to fight its battles; whatever share of national duty, however humble it may have been, that has fallen to our hands we have striven faithfully to perform; we are earnestly endeavoring to fit ourselves to perform a larger and nobler share of that duty—what more can, you require? The Hon. CHAMP CLARK says that Mr. Wasson's chief glory in the future will be his Mexican policy. It seems from this that the Hon. CHAMP has not yet gotten over the Baltimore Convention. But why doesn't he either continue to keep silent or come right out and say plainly what he thinks of Mr. WILSON? We ask no more than an equal chance; but that much we demand. THE PRESS OF NEW YORK AND THE SEGREGATION INCIDENT. It was gratifying to see how the segregation incident at the White House last week was treated by the influential newspapers of this city. First came the "World." Without waiting to see which way the cat was going to jump, it spoke out the very next morning in a righteous editorial which stood squarely for justice without any qualifications or reservations. On account of the "World's" great circulation and wide influence, this editorial will do incalculable good. It is of deeper significance, because the "World" is a staunch supporter of the Wilson Administration. In the afternoon the "Mail," the "Globe" and the "Evening Post" contained strong editorials; although the "Post" somewhat spoiled the effect of its article by the first half-dozen apologetic lines. The "Times" and the "American" have so far kept silent. Only the "gynical Sun," among the great papers, had something nasty to say. The "Sun" contained a few lines scribbled by some member of its staff who is not yet "emancipated" or by some pinhead who thought it a chance to be flippant. "The man and brother ought to behave himself civilly when he is allowed to present his grievances to the President of the United States in person; but the President of the United States would not have been subjected to any annoyance on Thursday if the visitors who abused his good nature had been deflected to the janitorial personage, whoever he may be, in whose province their business belonged." Every decent man on the "Sud's" staff ought to feel ashamed on reading those lines. If the "Sun" favors the Administration's segregation policy it should have spoken out and said so or kept silent. To cast such a shallow slur upon a matter that vitally interests ten million citizens of the country and their friends is beneath what is to be expected of a great newspaper. The editorial in the "World," by-the-way, made a splendid reference to the Hon. Charles W. Anderson. DR. WASHINGTON'S PRACTICAL SUGGESTION The, open letter which Dr. Booker T. Washington sent out a short time ago to the farmers of the South, urging upon them not to confine themselves to cotton, but to raise an extra pig, or pigs, and other products of an immediate cash value, is stirring up a great deal of favorable comment in the white as well as the Negro press of that section. The suggestion is an extremely practical one, and applies to the white farmer of the South, perhaps, as fully as to the black. If acted upon and carried out it would mean a tremendous increase in wealth. As it is now, the farmer plants his cotton in the spring, tends it during the summer, picks and markets it in the fall, and loafs all winter. There is no other serious work in the world where so much valuable time is left unutilized as in ordinary, unintelligent farming. The small Negro farmer who relies solely upon cotton is absolutely powerless. He is a nonentity when it comes to the price and the marketing of his crop. Many of these farmers eat all winter on the cotton they expect to sell the next summer. They do not trade, they do not buy and sell, they do not handle cash money; they simply live in eternal debt to cotton. The danger and stupidity of depending upon a single crop is illustrated in the present condition of cotton. Some twenty years ago it was illustrated in Florida. At that time, the only crop given any attention was oranges, and it constituted almost the sole wealth of the state. The Florida farmer would fish all summer, and pick and market his oranges in the fall and winter. Then came the great freeze of 1905, and the growers who had gone to bed the night before worth hundreds of thousands of dollars woke up the next morning bankrupt. It was a disaster, but proved to be the best thing that ever happened for the state. The growers replanted their groves, but while waiting for the trees to mature they devoted themselves to raising celery, lettuce, tomatoes, Irish potatoes, pineapples, grapefruit, poultry and eggs. These are to-day the principal products of Florida, and they are products with a ready cash value. As a result, Florida is feeling the present stringency less, perhaps, than any other Southern state. If Dr. Washington can awaken the Negro farmers and induce them to diversify intelligently the products of theff land; to raise, in addition to cotton, those things for which they can find a daily or weekly cash sale or, in lieu of that, with which they can feed themselves and their families, he will, as by magic, add greatly to the wealth and prosperity of the entire race. The Negro press can do a great good by giving this suggestion the widest possible circulation. THE LOST SHEEP. one, and two by two, they are coming back.

How shall we receive theumbent upon us to rise to the magnanimine joy over the one that was lost than over it went not astray. One by one, and two by two, they are coming back to the fold. Some sort of a fold is, after all, better than being left on the bare mountain side, exposed to the cold bleak winds and without a single blade of grass in sight. Reading back, we see that the heading of this article, "The Lost Sheep," is especially apprehable to the colored men who rushed from the Republican off into the Democratic party and are now more than anxious to rush back. It is certain that they got lost, and it is no less certain that they were sheep. They used just about the amount of judgment, foresight and common sense that you would expect from sheep. Their chief claim and excuse is that the Negro's political salvation lies in his casting an independent vote. Perhaps, it does; most surely, it will; but it is doubly certain that his salvation does not lie in casting his vote for and with the men who are determined that he shall not be saved. As long as the Democratic party is in the control and under the direction of men who not only make no effort to see that the Negro gets the rights of equal citizenship, but who absolutely deny that he should have those rights, it is the sheerest folly for us to think of alluring ourselves with that party. Common sense, more than sentiment, dictates that the Negro should cast his vote with the Republican party, because that party, at present, guarantees him more than any other existing party that has any chance of gaining governmental control. When there comes forth another great party—not conceived in slavery and nurtured on prejudice—another great party that stands on a higher and broader platform of human rights than the Republican party, then it will be sensible independence for us to transfer our support. The error of our "lost sheep" may be due, in some degree, to a misconception of independence. Independence, in itself, is not a cardinal virtue. A man may be independent and, at the same time, be a fool or a villain. All the virtue there is in independence depends upon how, when and where it is asserted. Assuredly, there is no virtue in the independence that leads a Negro to support the present brand of Democracy. They are coming back. How shall we receive them? Perhaps it is here incumbent upon us to rise to the magnanimous height of making more joy over the one that was lost than over the ninety and nine that went not astray. NATHAN STRAU$ ON PREJUDICE. column of a few issues back, the writer vent prejudice. In the daily press of Monday a Strusus gives out a longer, more comprehe more poetic definition. us' definition was, it seems, called forth by In this column of a few issues back, the writer ventured a definition of race prejudice. In the daily press of Monday of last week, Mr. Nathan Straus gives out a longer, more comprehensive and, I might add, more poetic definition. Mr. Straus' definition was, it seems, called forth, by the religious issue, which was injected by nobody, knows whom into the political campaign, but it covers prejudice of every sort. It reads as follows: "Easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false, it sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It nurtures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes the toll of all that pass. "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the hand-maiden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today. It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It bemoans benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on a throne. It repoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery." "It is the monster of the mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair, and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing is in sophistry. It divines the unreal and walks in the way of phantoms. It drains the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. It is good that these words have been given such wide publicity; they are reproduced in these columns to increase their publicity, and with the hope that they will have effect. However, there is this discouraging thought, a person who is so narrow, so ignorant, so bigoted, so blind as to be bitterly prejudiced is too narrow, too ignorant, too bigoted, too blind to take anything in Mr. Straus' words as applying to himself. "It is prejudice!" It seems that the Progressives are progressing toward the rear. The one-term plank bids fair to cause as much discussion as the third-term promise. If they ever have a landslide like this in the Panama Canal, they will have to start digging all over again. "Thank God for Wilson" was the cry of the Democrats before election. "Thank God for Wilson" is the cry of the Republicans after election. Wilson sees silver lining, not the cloud—Headline. "All we can say is that the President is "seeing things."

THE AGE is sold every week at H. M. Gilson's restaurant, 1020 Walnut street The attitude of President Wilson toward the delegation of Negroes headed by Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston, which sought to lay before the nation's head the Negro's grievance-as regards segregation in the governmental service, has aroused a storm of comment from the papers of the North, of all parties and political faiths. On the other hand, the papers of the South have maintained a notable silence, most of them excluding the item fro mthe news columns and none of them making editorial comment. The New York papers, even those which have given President Wilson's administration the most cordial and unstinted support, are -condemning his treatment of the committee. From the World. Of especial significance is the editorial from the New York World, than which Mr. Wilson has had no more loyal supporter. The following is the editorial: NO JIM-CROW GOVERNMENT. No President ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than has Winston Churchill. His illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of Negroes who called at home to protest against the segregation of races in Government departments. The bad manners of the Chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the Chairman, and the Cabinet which certain members of the Cabinet have established in their departments; and, as the President well knows, insolent conduct of any particular member's members of any particular race? ```markdown ``` The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line theories into democratic government that there had been criminalism in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks, but explained that "he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not including Negroes." The President filled an explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century white clerks and Negro clerks have wounded the efforts of Washington under Republican and under Democratic Presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his Jim Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department. The President thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American in government is certain to be a political issue. The members of the United States Government are servants of the United States Government regardless of race or color. For several years a Negro has been Collector of Internal Revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the Negro employees of the department to prevent friction; yet he have had quite as much right to do so as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the Negro employees of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve the problem of segregation, a few Southern members of the Cabinet have been allowed to exploit their petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. Whether the President thinks so on the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against Negro employees. Worse still, it is a small mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon it. The moment the moment it was established, he quct to get his heel upon it now. It is a response to administration and to the great political principles which he represents. From the Evening Post. The New York Evening Post is another of the stamarch supporters of Mr Wilson's administration, but its comment is as follows: THE PRESIDENT AND SEGRE GATION. Bad manners are bound to hurt even a good cause, and the last place where disrespect is to be tolerated is the White House. If William Monroe Trotter was, as appers, insolent to Mr. Wilson vengeance, he has had the advantage of the heights of the ordered people and hurt them all as well. But Mr. Wilson, we feel, should make allowances, not perhaps for the hasty temper of a man whose passionate desire for justice for his race often leads him astray, but because of the genuine wrongs of it. Is a sad but not terrible Administration that it has tolerated, may, draw the color line, without read cruise, as Mr. Trotter trufully put it, the racial antipathies of Messrs. Farleson, John Skelton Williams, and McAdoo. For an Administration which talks of the New Freedom and honors of hardiness upon business men, not only to the blind to the wrongs of full ten millions of American citizens, but to add to them is truly discouraging. Mr. Wilson can feel keenly for the governmental wrongs of the "submerged 85 per cent." of people of Mexico of whom we many years ago paraphrase, but he has yet to say if really sympathetic word about the wrongs of the millions in the Booth who are "without voice in their own government." If he could only be one of the submerged 19 per cent of our people in Washington for forty-eight hours he could never have polluted the wrong done, as he is reported to have yesterday, by saying that segregation was enforced for the comfort and best interests of both races, in order to overcome friction. He would know then that it makes neither for the comfort nor for the best interests of the races, but invariably leads to added friction and creates deep and lasting unhappiness among the segregated. This problem has vexed him and caused him heartache more than once in his Administration, and it will not cease to plague him until he lays down the law that sets up equality of treatment of all employees in the Government service. Colored and white employees had worked side by side for fifty years. But the Wilson-Administration went out of its way to create the issue it now defiles, and cannot get clear to admitting its mistake and defensible position of absolute equality in the Government service. The situation in Washington would be restored in a twinkling to the old and absolutely satisfactory status if the highest authority were there, but the president said that there was going to be a square deal for everybody in the departments without the slightest discrimination; that there can be only a mass of public servants—all to be held by the president and sideralization, and absolute justice. From the New York Tribune. The New York Tribune is the only regular Republican morning paper in the city. It takes occasion to make a sly dig at the Post and the World, at the same time making an apt comparison of Wilson's theory and practice. The Tribune said: MR. WILSON, THE ORIST, -V8. MR. WILSON, PRESIDENT. The tears which The Evening Post and The World are shedding over Mr. Wilson's characteristic treatment of the Negro race would be more canvincing examples of his independence if they and not swallowed up their consublencies on the President's part. Truth to tell, the case of the Negroes, deprived of their accustomed rights through the whim of Mr. Wilson's Cabinet, is but one more excellent illustration of the deep ditch which lies between Mr. Wilson's words and his deeds. "We are far from implying an intellectual dishonesty on the President's part. We think he, as much as his most adoring admirer, is a man of great intellect and neat phrases which fall from his pen. "The New Freedom" pops out of his mouth, and immediately "It seems to him that all business is breathing more freely, that prosperity is around the corner, that much happier for being "segregated." "Watchful Waiting" is another "Illustration." Once that mouth-filler crossed the threshold of Mr. Wilson's brain, it seemed us-if peace was as good as won for us, it would be every peon all ready had his acres. "And now look at the poor thing." The Negroes are only a few more victims of a theorist gone astray. Some time Mr. Wilson may learn that his theories are not the sum total of all wisdom and that by listening to a critique without losing his temper he may even improve them a little. He may also learn that the negroes are ported by the prettiest casualties, is not worth very much unless it is executed in a spirit of fair play and common senes. From the Evening Mail. The Evening Mail, which is a supporter of the policies of the Progressive party, commented as follows upon the incident: THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE PRESIDENT. It is hard to discover, in the rather fully published reports, any sufficient reason for the President's resentment of the efforts of Mr. Trettor to persuade him to abandon the offensive policy of Cajun officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the violation of the customs of fifty years and the spirit of the "Constitution in establishing the "Jim Crow" government. If the spokeswoman of the Cajun waxed warm in arguing the cause of his race, it is not to be wondered at. That he overstepped the bounds of propriety is not shown. That the President was voxed is all that appears in the published record. If any abusively reason for the President's ill temper it would surely have been disclosed. That there was reason for the President's ill temper is quite true, but it was supplied by the Cabinet members who were responsible for overseeing a-minded policy of overseeing Cajun employees white jobholders. The incident recalls the similar observation shown by the President: when he abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage delegation on June 30 on the ground that he could not submit to a gross examination. When men is right, the usually will, listen patiently to the other side; when he knows he is wrong, he is very likely to fly off the handle. From the Globe. The New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser, which supported the Progressive policies, made the following comment: JIM CROWISM AT WASHINGTON. The members of the chairman of the delegation of Negroes who acted at the White House to protest against Jim Crowism in the Washington department may not have been all they should have been. But some head and freedom of expression may have been denied their rights under the Constitution and the laws as they behold a new discrimination in process of establishment. The President could have well afforded to pardon the affront to his dignity when he heard the Negro spokesman say that two years ago many of the inmates in the监狱 Limbhina Lincoln and that such had been profoundly disappointed by the countenance that he had given to the segregation orders of Secretary McAdoo and Minister general Burleson. The minister's clear and logical mind, a pliant mind, through minor issues to the main one, must be disarmed with the explanation that the segregation is to reduce "friction." He knows, although this factor is doubtless present to the authors of the order, that the chief thing behind it is race prejudice. For fifty years men of different color have worked together in harmony. No one has done public employment because of the presence of Negro employees. The order of concession of a law of injustice whoo growth holds no good to the future peace of this country. The President has been deemed a national man—a man free from local prejudice which it has been the business of the pollutants of some States to keep alive. Yet he is the first President contrary to, the laws of equity and justice that he has enforced with so much energy and power, to conduce Jim-Crowson in the conduct of the National Government. During the recent campaign the President wrote a letter in which he justly questioned the Americanism of any voter who permitted himself to be asked by real voters when asking his ballot. Raw prejudice meaner and more dangerous than religious prejudice. The President, a man of Southern birth and broad principles, should lose no time in ordering the reseaching of the McDougall and McDougall fomenters will accept from him action they would blindly oppose if it came from a President of Northern birth. He has a chance, just as the Negro orator declared, to start by starting and leading a movement that will enaminate the race from disabilities under which it now labors, even as it was enaminated fifty years ago from involuntary slavery. The greatest of progressive principles is equality before the law. From the Boston Traveler. RACE SEGREGATION. Perhaps President Wilson would argue that if against the Negro it must be must do to do so in the federal offices, and if it is right in the federal offices, and if it is right in the federal offices, and if it is right in the federal offices, to be all right in any part of the country. From the Evening Telegraph, Philadelphia. THE COLORED MEN'S PROTEST From the Press, Philadelphia. DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? It looks as though the result of the law election has, got on the President's nerve and make him unreasonably irritable. In no other way can we account for the extreme conquestiveness of the president, which he impatiently kept W. M. Troter, of Boston, as chairman on a delegation of colored men undertook to show him that colored employees were merely distressed and neglected in some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Troter's remarks as reported which disclose any ground to the President's restatement. Possibly the speaker's remarks are not sufficient to show that aggressive to suit the President. He turned on him as he once before invited on the woman suffrage delegation whose assertion that the President into making the abstention that he was not at liberty "agree to our woman suffrage because it had no play in the election" was not correct. In letter that the colored people were agreed to departments to avoid freedom. But there was no freedom until Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burke got into the cabinet and urged to enforce the departments the principle of the Jim Crow law. The segregation practiced is wrong in principle because it is disagreeable and unjust to one person, and it is wrong to be treated by their Government without disorientation. The race affected had a right to be heard in their own behalf and showed a commitment to their grievance. We feel that the President has lost his head. He is certainly not happy. He expearements, made in the irritation of the citation, have him as in his more studied, delivered which compel the admiration even of his political opponents and offer skillfully covered up the injustice and offended a character of the policy he is commending. From the Evening Bulletin, Phila. Officer may, he given in tone and manner of address quite as much as in the spoken word, and President Wilson may have been delegated the responsibility of delegation of Negroes at the Executive Officers yesterday through some incidents which is not recounted in the printed reports of the necessary proceedings. The delegation is reported to have said there any justification for the indignant rebuke in its own words there seems to be no conflict in its own words there seems to be no conflict in its psychological condition of worminess and regardless of the question of segregation or any other phase of the race problem—matters which are not settled in any community, which may arise in any community, which wise men seek to ameliorate rather than gravate—the Negro delegates were met with their right in seeking audience with the President to protest against what they considered to be racial injustice and that conditions have changed in the Department organization since the advent of this Administration. Had the President been wise he would have checkeled the seal of his Southern department and follow the path of his audience and let the modus vivendi, when was it one of inoffensive "segregation," stand. However that may be, this delegation was within its rights in making political consequences were intricately linked to the plea or argument, it was not "blackmail," as the President indignantly termed it, more than was the threat of Representative Henry in his demand for reevaluation, the threat of the Clayton bill, or many another dicker in the routine of the Presidential Life.

IT is said that Governor-elect Whitman's attitude toward boxing and the present State Athletic Commission is causing concern in certain quarters. In all probability the "certain quarters" where most concern is being shown is in the State Athletic Commission, composed of Frank S. O'Neil, John J. Dixon and James Price. This commission was created a few years ago as the result of the passage of the Frawley Boxing Bill, and has been the object of much just criticism. A feeling of apprehension and uncertainty should certainly pervade the confines of the State Athletic Commission, for no officials under the State Government have been more despotic and Czar-like in their demeanor than Messrs. O'Neil, Dixon and Price, who have run things with a high hand since their incumbency in office, rendering decisions, not according to law, and invariably promulgating rulings based on their personal likes and dislikes. One of the most grievous errors committed by the State Athletic Commission was in ruling that colored and white boxers could not meet exhibitions in the State of New York. Despite various appeals to reason, in which Messrs. O'Neil, Dixon and Price were respectfully asked to rescind this lasinine decision, the 10 commission has steadfastly refused to act intelligently on the subject with the result that the boxing game has been greatly injured in this State. There is no law on the statute books of this State which forbids colored and white boxers meeting in the fistic arena. Such an arbitrary ruling is the product of the prejudiced minds of the members of the commission. Although paid by the colored, as well as the white, taxpayers of this State, yet they have the effrontery to draw the color line and defy fair play and the law. With such men as O'Neil, Dixon and Prince in full control of things, horses of the same color would have to compete in races on the turf, and the white dogs at a bench show would not be allowed to make a bid for ribbons with canines of other colors. The colored baseball teams would not be permitted to play white clubs in and about New York, and all colored athletes would be barred from our many athletic events. Last May representatives of the local colored papers called on the commission and made a strong plea that mixed bouts be permitted in New York. It was pointed out that if the ruling had been made because of the conduct of one colored fighter it ought to be rescinded or made less sweeping in its effect for the benefit of other colored piligilists. At the interview the colored newspapermen were accorded respectful consideration and were told that the matter would be taken up at once and that the visitors would be promptly informed of the conclusions reached. That was in May. Thanksgiving is almost here and the colored newspasper men are still waiting for an answer. But the attitude of the members of the commission was no surprise to me, for at the interview I discerned behind the mask of affability and deep concern, behind this veneer of impartiality, the true colors of Messrs. O'Neil, Dixon and Price, and when I left the goons of the commission a mental deduction which has proved to be a correct one—that the members of the commission were merely "kidding" us along, and that the count of ten had been called on our idea before we had been ushered into the presence of the commissioners. But many a count of ten wrongly called in the pugilistic ring, has acted as a boomerang to those rendering the unfair decision. And if the colored voters of the State of New York station, Governor-elect Whitman to either abolish the State Athletic Commission or go into extensive house-cleaning after January 1, a knockout is apt to be recorded which will prove a blessing in more ways than one. While on the subject of boxing it is opportune to speak of the presence of Sam McVea in New York, theighter, having reached this country last Saturday, after an eventful journey. When the war broke out McVea was in Australia. When he left Australia he was on board a German vessel which was compelled to change its course in order to get out of the way of the enemy's warships, and before the fighter realized he was hundreds of miles from his contemplated destination. After being bottled up on different islands for weeks, and by changing boats constantly, McVea finally managed to get passage on a vessel which brought him safely to the United States. McVea, who was for several years the idol of Paris, is in excellent health, and says his sojourn in Australia for several years did him a world of good, as Australia is a peaceful village compared with Paris. McVea and Manager Lawrence state positively that papers have been signed whereby McVea is matched to fight Jack Johnson at Havana, Cuba, in March, and Manager Lawrence really believes that his man can defeat the champion. McVea has not been in this country for nine years: At the time he weighed 195 pounds, while now he weighs 250, and is not fat and flabby. The pugilist is modest and retiring and is a quiet liver. The bright lights do not seem to have any particular attraction for him, and he does not aspire to bathe constantly in the lime light of notoriety. McVea thinks Jack Johnson will surely meet him in Havana, as it is rumored that the champion is rather short of change. In his recent fight with Moran it is reported that Moran's manager "double-crossed" the champion and cheated him out of his money. Owing to the ruling of the State Athletic Commission McVea will not be seen in action here against any of the white hopes, but an opportunity will be given to see how he has improved with the gloves when he meets Langford, Jim Johnson and other colored "heavies." THE CLEF CLUB TOUR. The Clef Club returned to the city last Saturday from its triumphal tour, during which concerts were given by the choirs of sixty voices in the City Auditorium, Richmond, Va.; St. John Avery, st. Church, Norfolk, Va.; Howe's theatre, Washington; Albaugh's Theatre, Baltimore; and Academy of Music, Philadelphia. The club was given a tremendous ovation in Richmond, among the prominent persons present being the mayor and other city officials.

The soloists of the tour were Louis A. Mitchell, Usher H. Watts, Emery H. Smith, C. Riru Khurat, Thomas Fletcher and Frank Price. After the Richmond concert the club was entertained by the Citizens' Club of Richmond at luncheon, after which a dance was given in honor of the boys at Pride Hall.

"The Striker" (a sketch) and Barnow's Miniature Circus. The Lafayette Theatre promises to be a most delightful refuge for those who have plenty of time on their hands and who are anxious to escape the wintry blasts during the winter.

Of the football fans who saw the Hampton-Lincoln game which was played on Hampton's gridiron Monday, November 16, all agree that it was the finest exhibition of the new game entered the game confident of victory, as neither had been defeated this season. Every variety of football play was exhibited. Both teams were on the alert and only one successful pass was made, that of Patterson for about twenty yards. The Hampton secondary defence was very good, catching every forward pass made by the Lincoln team except one. Both teams had strong lines and held when necessary except in the last quarter, defined flight and finalized up on Lincoln's three-yard line. On the next play the ball was carried across Lincoln's goal line by Flynt, but here Wheaton, Lincoln's captain, contended that the touchdown was not complete, as the Hampton man was not "down" and Lincoln pushed back across the goal line in the field of play by the Lincoln team. Reference R. B. Church of Livingstone, had been ruling all through the game that the play ended where the forward progress of the player was stopped, as that was in accordance with the football rules. Lincoln then left the field and went to Hampton by the score of 1 to 0. Hampton had a slight advantage throughout the game as the ball was in Lincoln's territory in three-quarters of the game. At no time dring the game was Hampton's goal in danger. The game until the last two minutes of play was the finest ever seen here. Lincoln's touchdown was unanimous on the part of the officials. A number of the Lincoln players recognized the legality of the touchdown and entreated their captain to finish the game but he, endorsed by Coach Pollard advised the team to leave the field. The line-up, was as follows: Lincoln Hampton U. S. Young.....L. E. Johnson Trutt.....L. T. J. Wildy Wallace.....L. G. Givens Thompkins. Smith ..... C..... Stoney White ..... R. G..... Martine ..... Coleman Burton ..... R. T..... Dixon E..... Gayle Burnum ..... R. H..... Jamison Patterson ..... R. H..... Dorey Wheaton, Capt. R. H..... Weeks, ..... White Chumberlin, F. ..... Flynt W.P. Young..... Westheimer, Q..... Officials—Referee, B. B. Church, Liv- ingstone; ampire, Robinson, Oberlin; lineman, Zimmerman, Newport News High School. Time of quarters, 15 minutes. Rust Triumpha Over Philander. In a game marred by constant penalties to both aides, Rust *University*, Holly Spunts, and Kyle McCarthy, the little Rock *Akz*, by the score of 12 to 6 on Rust-Campus, the Mississippi kept the Arkansas on the defense during the entire game. Never during the game was the Mississippi goal The Philander boys made first down but four times during the whole game. The playing of Craxford at left end and H. Putman in fall ended at left end. The following is the line up. Rust—Jackson, center; Hellwell, r. g.; Brown, r. g.; Brown, r. g.; Gwen, r. g.; Larkin, l. r.; E. Shivers, r. h; b; Sheril, l. h.; h. Putman, f. h.

The overwhelming defeat of the Howard University football team in its game with Lincoln on the Lincoln gridiron Saturday, November 7, came as a surprise to the supporters of Howard, and it was really unexpected by Lincoln itself that the score would be so onesided. As told in best week's Ace, the score was 12 to 0 in favor of Lincoln. The attendance was the largest ever on Lincoln campus, hundreds being present from New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlantic City, and Baltimore in the forefront of Lincoln's annual play. Wheaton, Pearson, the Youngs, White, Wallace and Trutt did great work for Lincoln. The teams lined up as follows: Lincoln. Position. Howard. Smith Center. Beamon (Crawford) Wallace L.G.

The Tuskegee institute football team defeated Fisk University, score 3 to 7, Saturday afternoon, November 14. The game was played on the Tuskegee Institute, athletic field, and despite the threatened rain a large and enthusiastic crowd of students, teachers and visitors witnessed the game, which was full of excitement from start to finish. Although Fisk put up a clever game, ste was outplayed by Tuskegee at every point until last few minutes of Fisk's game, half-huck, made the only touchdown on the national end run. Lewis, quarter-huck and captain of the Fisk team, handled the team in masterful fashion. FIRST BIG GUN OF THE Basketball Season The Incorporated Team UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF WILL ANTHONY MADDEN VERSUS Independent "Big Six" of Jersey Harper, Tuskegee captain, played sensational ball from start, to finish. He kicked goal from field at an angle from 30-yard line. His rushes were impressive. He played well of the Tuskegee team, also played in sensational style. This is Henderson's first year as a variety player. Coach Thomas is being congratulated. Virginia Union Wins From Shaw. In a hard game Saturday, November 14, at Richmond, Shaw University went down in defeat before Virginia Union University by the score of 23 to 9. Union played superior ball to Richmond, and the passes, while the visitors relied chiefly on line plunging. The game was not as clean as it should have been, but Shaw was penalized five times. Union kept up with the game, but the first scramble, a 75 yard dash by H. Thompson registered a touchdown for the Red and Steel, in exactly one minute. Thompson made a large gains through the Daniel-Tobson forward pass combination Thompson skirted Walker's end for 25 yards and a touchdown. Daniel contributed three points to Union victory by dropping goal from Shaw's 24-yard jump.

He became the centre of attraction having a large following. This materialist conception of our Lord is everywhere among professed followers. The rejuke and instruction he gave such people in the days of his flesh, the Spirit use is now in like manner. He says, "Seek the Lord, not because you read and see His miracles, but because you do. eat of the fruits of the earth and a time are filled." He warns, commands and instructs by saying, "Labor not for the meat or thing which perish; but labor for that meat or thing which endureth everlasting life." A life which the son of man shall give to you for the immanuel in the Holy Gail other than the faith in him is the work required of thee. Since belief has such a prominent place in the plan of redemption and eternal life, and as records will show that over two-thirds of the world has not heard of our Lord, while the majority of the less than one-third who have heard of Him His teaching and pass Him by; on the face of this it would seem that the Immanuel and His teaching are a failure. But when we heed, grasp and accept His ideas, His truth for ordination, or election we are made to believe that the attitude and tendencies among men and things are the result of His love for Him, and that all that the Father gives Him shall come unto Him; No amount of ignorance of the personal historical Jesus Christ, no majorities, moral or social indifference, can detract or take any people's honor or glory from Him. We believe that those, that are to have eternal life, that are to have life and privilege given to them before the foundations of the world. Since but few are conscious of this fact it becomes the duty then of each and all to come unto the God in him by faith in the historical Jesus, or by faith in Him the Immanuel, benevolent spirit everywhere immanuelting Himself on the part of those who will to come to him by saying, him or anyone that conneth to me. I will in no wise cast Othr. In spite of the rain a large number of scholars and teachers grafted X-account.
