SOUTH WILL RUN NATION 2 YEARS Responsibility for Legislation in Congress Entirely with the South TWELVE STATES CONTROL Actual Democratic Majority for Next Two Years Will Rest in One Hundred Members from Twelve Southern States With Southern Domination of Cabinet and Senate, Northern Democrats Are Afraid the Party Will Run into a Blind Alley before 1916. Special to THE NEW YORK AOK. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—Responsibility for legislation in the House during the concluding two years of the present administration will fall directly upon the South. It is common comment that the South is in the saddle, but this will become more clearly true after March 4 next through the reduction of the Democratic membership of the House. At present Democrats from twelve Southern States represent one-third of the Democratic strength in the House; after March 4 next these twelve States, with the Democratic members from Oklahoma and Missouri, will constitute an actual majority of the Democratic strength in the House. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia have 103 members in the House, all of whom, excepting three Republicans, are Democrats. Strong in Cabinet and Senate. This group, with the strong Southern representation in the Cabinet and the Senate, has been powerful enough largely to dominate the House committees and to control, up to a certain point, legislation in the House. A large degree of responsibility for the record of the last two years is theirs, but after March 4 the responsibility will be thereafter. Thereafter the South will have the power of an actual majority, with aid from Oklahoma and Missouri, as well as the political influence incident to the cohesion of a large group of members and their seniority. Many Democrats Frankly Afraid. In view of some of the legislative projects which the South insisted upon, but obtained only in part during the last two years, the domination of the House majority by this group has aroused a degree of anxiety among Democrats who are looking ahead to the next Presidential election. They are frankly afraid that the party will run into a blind alley unless Southern influence can in some way be restrained. The large river and harbor appropriation bill, the proposal for the purchase of $500,000,000 worth of cotton by the Government, the proposed segregation of African Americans, the benefit of the South, and the demand that the 10 per cent, tax on currency issues by State banks be repealed are examples of the legislation, proposed by Southern representatives who are now causing anxious speculation regarding their course in the near future when they will come into control of the House by actual numbers. YOUNG ROCKEFELLER AT SMITH'S CHAPEL Siren to THE NEW YORK ACK Hot SPRINGS, Va., Nov. 24—Telling his hearers to "Bite off more than they could chew," and so always have something to work upon, instead of following the old-time advice of "Never bite off more than you can chew." John D. Rockefeller, Jr., addressed the members of Smith's Chapel, the Rev. D. W. Hill, pastor, Sunday, November 22, at 4 p.m. This visit was the result of an invitation extended by R. N. Smith, head-waiver at The Homestead, to Mr. Rockefeller and to Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, when these men arrived at the hotel a few weeks ago. Murphy declined the invitation at the time although the words he used have never been made public. Mr. Rockefeller, however, promised then to visit the church at some future date, and he promised last Sunday. NEWLY FITTED ROOMS FOR NEW HAVEN CLUB THE NEW YORK AGE HAVEN, Cov.

Murff, returned Baptist missionary from Africa, which held from Shiloh Baptist Church, the customary black was discarded by the family, according to the request of the deceased before the died, and the mourners were garbed in white. There were no flowers. The deceased had put aside $25 from his meager funds as the nucleus of a fund for a memorial building to be erected in Africa, and this was placed, by his instructions, upon the casket at the funeral, and all friends were invited to add to it the money that would have been spent for flowers. The Rev. J. Milton Waldron was master of ceremonies and the sermon was preached by the Rev. T. J. Grithin of Des Moines, Iowa, a lifelong friend of Dr. Murff. The ministers of Baltimore and Washington were largely represented, among those present and taking part in the services being the Revs. P. C. Neill, A. W. Taylor, M. J. Johnson, J. I Loving, E. R. Eicks, W. H. Jarvis, J. I Randolph, W. J. Howard, W. M. Alexander, and the Rev. L. G. Jordan of Philadelphia. The pallbearers were the Revs. D. G. Mack, P. C. Neill and C. Payne of Baltimore, and the Revs. J. L. Garfield, A. H. Gunn and S. Glimore of Washington. Four natives from Africa, who were baptized several years ago by Dr. Murff, were present. The interment was at Harmony Cemetery. Superintendents of Missions in Africa. Dr. Murfir was a native of Mississippi, but received his theological training at the Walden Seminary, this city, which afterwards became the Virginia Union University at Richmond, Va. He was ordained to the gospel ministry from Shiloh Baptist Church and pastored in Iowa, Illinois, Mississippi and Texas from Texas he went to Africa, spending more than six years in South Africa, with headquarters at Cape Town. He was superintendent of missions in South Africa for the foreign mission board of the National Baptist Convention. A mission house which serves as a home for the missionaries as well as a school was built in Cape Town. Dr. Murfir becoming responsible for the money. On his return to this country, though in a weakened condition from the African fever, he succeeded, before dying, in raising and sending to Cape Town every dollar required to liquidate the debt. He traveled more extensively and visited more different tribes in South Africa, perhaps, than any other missionary from America. He was greatly beloved by the chiefs of the tribes among whom he labored. The native Christians were devoted to Dr. Murfir and his wife, looking upon them as upon a father and mother. He has led many of them to Christ, baptizing at one time as many as seventy-three. He gained the highest respect of the officials of the English government: PAID $5,000 CASH FOR LAND AT SALE Special to THE NEW YORK ACK GOLDBURG-SCOTT, Nov. 24 — A husband of this city, who is also a leading farmer of Wayne County, is authority for the following story: He visited Kinston recently, and while there attended a big land sale. The land was to be sold on easy payments, with part cash. There was present a colored farmer who raises nothing but tobacco, who bid in a pumber of the most valuable lots. His purchases, when the sale had conduced totaled money to $5,000, the bidder bidded more. He were surprised and began to look at the Negro with amusement, thinking that he had bought unthinkingly more than he would be able to pay for. The promoters informed him as to the amount of his purchase, but the Negro was not jarred a bit. He asked instead what the discount would be for cash payment. When, informed that it would be five per cent he calmly told the promoters to deduct, the cash discount from the total amount' and he would give them a check for the balance. This he proceeded to do while the crowd, nearly all whites looked on in breathless silence. FARMING AT 115 YEARS; KEPT COFFIN 10 YEARS. Special to The New York Age. LOUISBURG, N. C., Nov. 24.—Two remarkable Negroes have died in this county within the past few days—Himan Mayo, 115 years old, who helped to cut the right of way of the Seaboard Air Line from Weldon to Raleigh in 1836, and William Allen, 70 years old, the wealthiest Negro in the county. Mayo remembered distinctly President John Adams. He was a magistrate in this district five years and enjoyed the respect and esteem of white and colored. He made a good crop in 1911, but pitched a crop for him but while trying to number he received injuries from which he did not recover. Allen had been anticipating death for ten years, as for that length of time he had kept in his rooms a coffin 'to be used for his burial. Some years ago his house was burned down and the only thing saved was the coffin. WEST POINT CADETS WON'T FACE NEGRO When, the football team from the Springfield Training School, Springfield Mass, played the West Point Military Academy team at West Point on Saturday, November 21, it was without the services of its crack follback, Gibson who is a Negro. The reason for Gibson's absence was that West Point refused to play Springfield with a colored man on the team. A note from Demond Lewis, 72 West 142d street, gives the information that an invitation to Gibson to attend the game was declined by the Negro on the score that since he couldn't play he did not want to cause the school any extra expense. West Point defeated Springfield. WILSON TFANO WILSON CONVICTED 5 TIMES AND SENTENCED TO BE HUNG But Gov. O'Neal of Alabama Commutes Sentence to Life Imprisonment INNOCENCE-OF POPE SHOWN Bore Good Reputation for Fifty Years but Hundreds of Letters and Petitions to Governor Opposed Executive Clemency- No Motive for Crime Shown. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 24.—Convicted five times on the charge of murder in the first degree, four times the Supreme Court granted Erwin Pope of Amiston a new trial. After the fifth conviction, Governor Emmett O'Neal, who had given much patient study and investigation to the case, has commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. This is the most celebrated case in Alabama. Pope was convicted five times in the Amiston court and each time his punishment was fixed at the maximum penalty. Four times the verdict was set aside and a new trial granted on appeal to the Supreme Court. Sentence was framed by this tribunal after the fifth conviction. The Governor devoted much patient study to the case and was convinced of the innocence of Pope, at least sufficiently to commute his sentence of life imprisonment. Blood Stained Shoes in Evidence. What Governor O'Neal regarded as the most incriminating link in the State's chain of circumstantial evidence was the fact that a pair of blood-stained shoes, bearing a particle of human skin, had been found in concealment under an outhouse on Pope's premises, and his statement deals at length with seeming flaws in the State's proof that the stains on the shoes were of human blood, and that the shoes had been worn by the defendant. The Governor states that he had the shoes sent to Dr. B. B. Ross, Stuchestam at Auburn, for examination, and Dr. Ross reported that the laboratory examinations failed to give any positive indications as to the identity of the impaired shoes. It then occurred to him that it would be well to challenge the circumstantial proof of the implication that the shoes had been worn by Dr. Ross. He had the cement to be removed. There were no injuries, and there was a shoe merchant. Take the shoes to the tail and try them on Pope's feet. The Governor's Statement Mr. Collins testified in reporting to the Governor that the shoes were over two sizes larger than the foot of the defendant. One of the shoes also bore evidence that its wearer had a large ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF URBAN CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH, 58 W. 132nd 5T.

ON CORRUPTS C bunion or protuberance on his foot there was no such protrusion as a foot of the defender is not ported. He gave it as his opinion that the shoes had not been broken, shaped or worn by Pope. The Governor, in announcing his decision, concluded his statement as follows: "It is claimed that I should not interfere because the defendant has been convicted by five different juries in Calhoun County and sentenced to death. It should also be remembered, however, that four times prior errors prejudice the defendant, and the sole question for me to consider is not whether the weight of public opinion demands the execution of the defendant, but whether under all the facts and circumstances of the case I would ever commit my institutional crimes to commute the sentence of death to life imprisonment. The defendant is a Negro, and the record shows that he was in good circumstances, immediately, at the time of the alleged commission of the crime, for a number of years. I have shown that he owned a farm and his merchant was ready to advance him all the supplies that he might require in the culpitation of his land. There is all solutely nothing in the record showing that for the first time in his life that he had been convicted of crime or had a bad reputation. "The fact that there was no motive by reason of poverty or need for him to commit the crime is a strong circumstance in his favor. The severity in the case was exhausted in the trial of his widows and attorney's fees, and during the last trials of his case he was defended by counsel appointed by the Court. The defendant has but few legal grounds for innocence and attacked him is a very strong and powerful public sentiment as established by the numerous petitions and letters on file in this office opposing executive clemency. He is not guilty, and however humble, or odious, obscure, is entitled to the protection of the law." WHITE FARMERS ON LAND SEGREGATION RAGEH, N. C. Nov. 24—The State Farmers' Union of White Meu held a meeting in this city last week and passed several resolutions, one among which read as follows: "That we earnestly renounce our engagement of the plan adopted at our last session urging land segregation between the races, and urge our local community to help bring it about. That we reserve the greater portion of the land average in any community is reserved to race, a majority of the races that race may say, if they wish that in future no land shall be reserved to persons of a different race, provided such action is approved by a young judge or board of commissioners, being necessary to their personal safety and the protection of their social life." ANNUAL MEET NATIONAL LEAGUE OF URBAN BETHEL A. M. E. CHUR Friday, Dec. 4th. SPEAKERS—Major R. R. Motor Music by J. Ross ONJO REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT LOST HEART Are Sanguine that Republican Administration Will Hand Out Plums RECOGNITION EXPECTED Assistant in Office of Attorney General, and Clerks in Office of State Treasurer and Secretary of State Are Some of the Anticipated Appointments. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 24.—Nowwithstanding the clap-taking of some of the disgruntled pap-seekers, there is every reason to believe that the Negro Republicans of Ohio will fare well under the incoming administration of Governor-elect Frank B. Willis. It is delinquently stated that several prominent colored men have already been picked for office. A Negro attorney will be in the office of the attorney general. Negro clerks will be appointed in the offices of the Statereasurer and the Secretary of State besides receiving recognition in the other departments of the State government. Thomas W. Fleming, ex-councilman-a-large of Cleveland, was the only colored member of the Ohio Republican State Executive Committee, and he was chosen by Chairman Edwin Jones, to organize the colored vote of the State With the co-operation of many of the most prominent Negroes of the State including Arthur J. Riggs of Springfield, Attorney Albertus Brown of Toledo, William Rogers of Xena, Attorney J. O. Tateau of Washington Court House, L. O. Harris of Circleville, E. T. Banks of Dayton, E. C. Berry of Athens, Attorney L. A. Jones of Findlay, the Rev D. Whits of Marion, John P. Green and S. E. Woods of Cleveland, Attorney T. E. Green of Youngstown, William wooden of Portsmouth, Dr. M. Poulm of Bronton, and others, such effectuator as done that 60 per cent of the Prigreggio vote of the column also swing back into the Republican column and the State ticket was elected by about 3000 majority. The Negro vote was the balance of power and without if the ticket would have been defeated. The organization will be kept intact but the campaign in 1816, when it appeared on Ohio will lead the Republi- cian party to victory.

Speaking in this city before the Methodist Social Union, Bishop Wilbur F. Thirkield of New Orleans, formerly president of Howard University, Washington, D.C. said that Negroes are genuine Americans and are not black-handers. "There are no black hand societies among the black-knuckled men," said the bishop. Continuing his address, and referring to the civilization of America, he said that the Negro. "educated and imbued with the spirit of Jesus Christ, may become the finest of our citizenship. The black man is born here, and his ancestors were here also for hundreds of years. The Negro is faithful. He is true to trust. History will never forget the idulity of the Negro in the Civil War. One thousand torches, in black hands would have disbanded. Our federate armies, the torch was lit by the Negro, the Negro, educated and immoral, is a peril. But educated and trained, he will get ahead. He is gaining farm property more rapidly in the Southland than the white man. He is anchoring to the soil. He has the language, and that will bind us together as nothing else will." FATHER BURKE IS 'HONORED BY THE POPE Last Sunday, at the Church of St. Benedict the Mohr, West 53d street, the feast day of the patron was celebrated and at high mass in the morning the Rt. Rev. John E. Burke wore for the first time his new robes indicative of the high honor which recently came to him from the Holy Eather in Rome. Monsignor Burke, in an eloquent manner, explained to the people that the distinction which had come to him from the Pope was intended as a mark of the love of the head, of the church for the colored people of the United States. The Rev. James Burgess, C. S. Sp., officiated at the mass and the Rev. M. J. Kenney preached the sermon. In the evening Monsignor J. E Burke celebrated the Vespers service and Father Burgess preached a beautiful panegyric on St. Benedict the Moor.

Atlanta, where he had some for treatment, and had health for the past four of five years, the result of overwork in founding and establishing the Reformatory which is located a few miles out from East Macon. Dr. Johnson came to Macon a number of years ago, from Augusta, where he formerly pastored and where he was not merely associated, with the Rev. C. T Walker in developing the Walker Baptist Institute. The body was brought to Macon and the funeral was held from the First Baptist Church. Thousands of people, of all denominations, assembled to pay the last denomination of respect. Dr. Johnson is survived by his wife and several children and a brother, the Rev Roman J. Johnson of Augusta, also a prominent Baptist minister. TURPIN A VICTIM OF ELECTION FRAUDS Served to the New York Ace St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 2. Because of alleged frauds committed by Democratic judges in the Fourth District in count- ing the ballots in the election for con- trolling a legal contest has been posi- tioned by Charles H. Turpin of the Kern- onian candidate. Evidence of the most damaging character, supported by store- s of abductors, has been introduced to show that the most fraudulent practi- cure carried out by the Dameron's offi- cials. It is clared that there is direct evi- ence to show that if the legal vot- er for Turpin had been counted he could have been elected, by a majority of four to the hundred votes. Many well-known men, including a number of Negroes, are mentioned in the charges, and these will be brought before the grand jury. Several indictments are looked for. LEADING MEDICAL HUGHES LOST BY ONE VOTE Democratic Executive Committee Reverses Its Action of Ten Days Ago WOOD REELECTED LEADER Four of the Members Who Demanded and Accepted His Resignation as County Leader Voted for Him Monday Night Committee Invited to Call at Tennesse Hall in Company with Wood, so Murphy Could Tell of the Good Qualities of His Negro Pal. Although thirteen out of nineteen members of the executive committee of the United Colored Democracy signed a statement of charges against Robert N. Wood, Democratic leader, accusing him of a variety of acts alleged to be contrary to laws of the organization, when the committee assembled Monday night, November 23, to elect a new leader, the votes cast showed that Wood had been elected by a vote of 10 to 9, a majority of one, which also showed that at least four of the signers who demanded his abdication had changed their words. Cornelius A. Hughes, the clever Harlem politician, was the candidate set forth by the opposition to Wood, and he attributes his defeat to the "scientific administration of large and copious doses of corn juice" to one of his followers. Speaking of his defeat, Mr. Hughes said, "Whiskey triumphs and a bottle of Hunter did the trick. Robert N. Wood and James D. Carr are temperance advocates themselves, nevertheless they have an abiding faith in the efficacy of good corn juice on the average Negro Democrat." Wood Wanted Committee to Call on Murphy. The charge is made by Hughes that one of his supporters on the executive committee was supplied with corn juice in such quantity that his conscience was deadened and his brain beuffled, and at the eleventh hour this particular member of the committee claimed to have "seen a light" and so cast his vote for Wood. At that, his condition making him somewhat carless, he wrote not only Wood's name on the ballot, but his own as well. This would probably have invalidated the ballot and caused a tie vote, but Hughes magnanimously, conged the vote to Wood. According to reports received, it is said that Mr. Wood apologized to the committee for his attitude in the past, and expressed his willingness to give up all the various chairmanships which he had held in the past and content himself with simply the leadership of the party in New York County. He also, it is said, desired to have the members of the committee accompany him in a call upon Charles F. Murphy, the Tampa mayor, to would assure him of Wood's good intentions and give him a good recommendation to this, because, in that it showed an inclination to treat them as children, and wanted to know why it should be necessary for one associating daily with a man to go to a man of another race to go out about him. How the Committee Lined Up. The vote was of course a secret vote, but the lines were so simply drawn that it is thought both greggs and Wood know who supported their respective tickets. The feeling, the meeting is said to have been pretty high, and much bitterness was generated. Contrary to the usual custom in election, the victorious candidate was refused a unanimous vote after result was known. Hughes' ticket is said to be supported by the following members: John B. Douglas, 21 A. D.; Warren Thomas, 25 A. D.; Jacob H. Hargreaves, 9 A. D.; Samuel George, 29 A. D.; E. Anderson, 31 A. D.; J. L. J. Jefferson, 23 A. D.; Eugene Johnson, 5 A. D.; Giles Wikerson, 19 A. D.; C. A. 30 A. D. Of the thirteen signers to the statement of charges, it is said that of them changed their minds and supported Wood. These were Solnley, 21 A. D.; Burgess, Holland, 21 A. D.; Silas Brown, 26 A. D.; Roger Lin, 13 A. D. The members of committee not signing the charge were James D. Carr, 27 A. D.; A. Zink, 20 A. D.; William McLain, 14 A. D.; J. Brown, 16 A. D. August 7 A. D. and Robert Wood, 24 A. D. When the result was announced, Mr. Wood found that he had elected by the uncomfortable margin of one vote, he is said to have been anything but elated.

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. WASHINGTON STATES: The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only be commercially successful will be paying rent.

A COWARDLY UTTERANCE The following clipping from the Kansas City "Post" purports "to be an interview given by, one, Silas Harris. We do not know Mr. Harris personally, or whether he made the statements attributed to him, but if he did the colored people of Kansas City ought to mete out to him the treatment which such a cowardly and-pusillanimous action deserves: Just before the election of November 3 a circular was mailed all candidates to both branches of Congress by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" a Negro organization, asking where each candidate stood on the following: Abrogation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments Segregation in the federal service. Segregation in the District of Columbia. Anti-intermarriage laws - Lynching. Reduction of representation in the states that disfranchise the Negro. J Silas Harris, president of the Negro National Educational Congress, has given The Post a statement concerning the questions and measures in which he says. "The cost of printing, mailing and distribution of such a circular must have been considerable—far more than the issues it sought to inject merited or the financial condition of its promoters warranted. There is really no necessity for such an organization, since it increases rather than diminishes the feeling between the two races. "The final acceptance or rejection of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments is a matter that rests almost entirely with the Negro himself. He can so live as to make their annulment impossible or their abrogation imperative. "The question of segregation in the federal service and in the District of Columbia is of trivial importance, and the enactment of one or both into laws would in no wise hinder the progress of the race. "Jim Urow cars in the District of Columbia are no worse than Jim Crow cars in Texas, the Washington Negro being no better than his kim-man in the Lone Star State. "The most contemptible of all of the questions proposed is that which pertains to the anti-internarriage laws; only the Negro who is Cadescarging, to get away from his race, opposes the passage of such a law, the principal contenders against such legislation to America, the Negro school-teachers, many of whom are colored only to the extent of drawing salary for misinstructing the Negro youth, and who are, in the main, responsible for the restless condition of the race. "All law-abiding citizens are unreservedly opposed to lynching but the causes which lead thereto must be eliminated before lynching will become a thing of the past. "The reduction of representation in those states in which the Negro is disfranchised needs no argument. If the Negro will prove himself worthy of those rights that he now has, he will soon have but little cause to complain of a denial of those rights to which he feels himself entitled." The daily papers state that a colored church at Hot Springs, Va., invited Charles F. Murphy to preach. It would have been more appropriate to call on him to pray for forgiveness. A news item states that 100 masked night riders went out the other night to whip two women. An armed posse of men, in defending the women, shot and killed three of the riders, this, however, did not prevent the women from being whipped—those gallant Kentuckians do have some lively times. It appears that the Allies have given to a certain class of the big guns used by the Germans the name of "Jack Johnson..." A despatch or a few days ago from North France tells how some troops were making their way when they came within range of the enemy's guns; and how a shell blast from one of the "Jack Johnson" in the middle of the detachment, manning and multilingual men and horses. WHAT IS YOUR BRAIN POWER? The essential differences among engines are differences of horse-power. The essential differences among men are differences of brain-power. essential differences among engines are easier. The essential differences among men are power. A horse-power engine cannot accomplish the power engine; nor can a 10 brain-power man achieve a 60 brain-power man. Why are you content to run around as a man if it is possible for you to be a man of 20, of 30 brain-power? There is no mystery about developing and increasing as simple as developing and increasing. We develop muscular strength by physical brain-power by mental exercise; and mental thinking. Not confuse the development of brain-power with education. Securing an education may result in, and it may not. There is many an educator not a few unlettered wise men. A man with who has learned something. A man with someone who has thought out something.

Amplishment in life depends upon brain-power securing increased brain-power consists in thinking, but in thinking. Brain-power is the power to take hold of the prey to the best solutions possible. It is, decide. It is the power to decide question from the small affairs of everyday life to the logical philosophy. Brain-power is employed not alone in building a great law case or in writing a great book in running a farm or in digging post-holes who possess developed brain-power become who are lacking in it, and thereby their superiors for one man to decide for another where and should be dug he becomes that man's superior. Is with individuals, so it is with races. Though the backward races are those running one they are those races that are not thinking and increased brain-power. Perhaps at one time higher speed, they have allowed their own, and as a result, they have fallen behind shall we increase our brain-power? By the we do that? Why, simply by doing it.

FELIX ADLER'S STAND ON HUMAN HEREBY is not in the entire country a man with a large and intelligent congregation of people a higher stand on the question of human ruler of the Ethical Society. Dr. Adler embraces some for the great democracy of the future, the preachers who fill prominent pulpits, he the Negro in the United States. Days a broad foundation for the temple of the land he builds according to where the lines for turnings, nor by any qualifications or resebellion or take away our place in the temple which he brings to bear in our behalf by this own high ideals cannot be estimated. City of New York with all of its varied oppo- r privilege to the seeker after truth than to A 10 horse-power engine cannot accomplish the work of a 60 horse-power engine; nor can a 10 brain-power man accomplish the work of a 60 brain-power man. Then why are you content to run around as a 10 brain-power man when it is possible for you to be a man of 20, of 30, of 40, of 50, of 60 brain-power? There is no mystery about developing and increasing brain-power; it is as simple as developing and increasing muscular strength. We develop muscular strength by physical exercise. We develop brain-power by mental exercise; and mental exercise consists in thinking. Do not confuse the development of brain-power with the securing of an education. Securing an education may result in increased brain-power, and it may not. There is many an educated fool, and there are not a few unlettered wise men. A man with an education is one who has learned something. A man with developed brain-power is one who has thought out something. In the vaudeville theatres there are often given exhibitions of educated horses and dogs and monkeys, etc., but these are in no degree exhibitions of brain-power: Reading does not necessarily produce increased brain-power. A man may read one thousand books and never have any original thought about what he reads; such a man is not developing brain-power, he is merely educating himself, storing his mind with information, useful or otherwise. On the other hand, to read one great thought and then to think it through, to unravel it, to get at the inside of its meaning, to chew, swallow and digest it mentally will produce increased brain-power. Thinking the thought through gives the brain the proper exercise; making the thought your own gives the brain the proper food, and it gains strength and power. In truth, without reading any book at all, a man may observe life about him, and, by thinking over his observations, increase his brain-power. Indeed, this has been the method followed by those men who are the world's mental giants. If you wish to make a simple experiment in measuring brain-powers? Well, you can do it at any place where you catch people at leisure, with nothing to do; just watch and see how they do it. The best place, perhaps, is in a subway or elevated train or in any street car. You get into the car and you have a twenty minute ride before you use your eyes on the people around. Notice that fellow doubled up in the corner seat and fast asleep with his mouth open; you will be liberal if you give him credit for more than 10 brain-power. See that young girl gazing vainly around or listlessly out of the window; do not give her more than 20 brain-power. There are some people who are reading; according to what and how they are reading, you may mark them 30 or 40 or 50 brain-power. There is a man sitting there, oblivious to everything around him; you can see by the expression of his eyes and his face that he is thinking, thinking out some important question, weighing it up and down and deciding how he shall act; promptly mark him down 60 brain-power. Accomplishment in life depends upon brain-power, and the magic of securing increased brain-power consists in thinking. Not in memorizing, but in thinking. Brain-power is the power to take hold of the problems of life and reduce them to the best solutions possible. It is, in a word, the power to decide. It is the power to decide questions ranging all the way from the small affairs of everyday life to the problems of metaphysical philosophy. Brain-power is employed not alone in building a great bridge or in arguing a great law case or in writing a great book; it may be employed in running a farm or in digging post-holes. Men who possstss developed brain-power become the directors of men who are lacking in it, and thereby their superiors. If it is necessary for one man to decide for another where and how the post-holes should be dug he becomes that man's superior. As it is with individuals, so it is with races. Those races which are to-day the backward races are those running on a low mental speed. They are those races that are not thinking and, so, are not developing increased brain-power. Perhaps at one time they were running at higher speed, but they have allowed their mental engines to slow down, and, as a result, they have fallen behind. How shall we increase our brain-power? By thinking. And how shall we do that? Why, simply by doing it. In most people the mind is lazier than the muscles. It is difficult to keep it on the job. It likes to loaf. It shirks and runs away. When you begin to think you will probably find that after a few moments concentration the mind is wandering far off in other fields. You must take hold of it bodily and put it back to work. The oftener you do this the less you will find that you need to do it; the mind will begin to stick to its work and to enjoy it. The time will come when you will find yourself able to tackle a thought, to think it through logically and clearly to the end, and to decide what action to take. Don't be a 10 or 20 brain-power man. Make yourself a man of 30, 40, 50 or 60 brain-power. DR. FELIX ADLER'S STAND ON HUMAN RIGHTS There is not in the entire country a man with the opportunity of addressing a large and intelligent congregation of people each week who takes a higher stand on the question of human rights than Dr. Felix, Adler of the Ethical Society. Dr. Adler embraces all humanity in his scheme for the great democracy of the future, and unlike so many of the preachers who fill prominent pulpits, he makes no exception of the Negro in the United States. He lays a broad foundation for the temple of this higher democracy, and he builds according to where the line falls. By no twistings or turnings, nor by any qualifications or reservations does he seek to belittle or take away our place in the temple. The great influence which he brings to bear in our behalf by thus not being afraid of his own high ideals cannot be estimated. The City of New York with all of its varied opportunities offers no greater privilege to the seeker after truth than to listen to Dr. Adler. THE LAST ACT IN THE COMEDY. With this week comes the last act in the Comedy of Errors in Mexico of the Administration. On Monday the United States troops which have been stationed at Vera Cruz were recalled. Why were they ever sent? Why were twenty or more American seamen shot to death in the taking of Vera Cruz? In order to secure a salute to the flag? The flag was never saluted and those lives were sacrificed to no purpose. this week comes the last act in the Comedie of the Administration. On Monday the United States been stationed at Vera Cruz were recalled as? Why were twenty or more American men the taking of Vera Cruz? In order to secure the flag was never saluted and whose lives were unlundering policy of the Administration in preparation. 'It was called a policy of war steps of a grave nature were taken than were previous administration—and less was at the refusal to recognize Juerta; then the detain and down; then the raising of the embargo to the rebels; then the "salute the flag" incipi Vera Cruz. Any one of these steps was a comes the recall of our troops, and Mexico than it was two years ago. The blundering policy of the Administration in Mexico is beyond comprehension. "It was called a policy of watchful waiting, yet more steps of a grave nature were taken than were ever thought of by any previous administration—and less was accomplished. First the refusal to recognize Huerta; then the demand for him to step out and down; then the raising of the embargo on shipment of arms to the rebels; then the "salute the flag" incident; then the seizure of Vera Cruz. Any one of these steps was a just cause for war. Now comes the recall of our troops, and Mexico in a worse condition than it was two years ago. AGILITY OR MIND Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont was speaking at the Conference of Southern Women Suffragists a few days ago, and was asked what she thought of giving the vote to Negro women. Mrs. Belmont replied that the problem was one for the South to solve in its own wisdom and knowledge (same old mushy talk some Northerners continue to hand to Southerners), and that for her part she only insisted that the rights of the Negro woman should be the same as those of the Negro man. One of the morning papers treats this reply editorially, and heads the article "Agility of Mind Saved Her." We do not contradict the assertion that Mrs. Belmont showed agility of mind. She quite nimble leaped to the conclusion that since the Negro man in the South was practically deprived of his vote it would be safe for her to insist that the Negro woman be given the same rights. However, it is not likely that Mrs. Belmont's feat was anything astonishing to her Southern listeners. She may not have realized it, but she was in the land of agile minds. For the last sixty years the Negro question has kept Southern minds so much on the leap that now they are the finest leapers, benders and twisters in the world. The average Southern mind will to-day seek to justify any making of bad laws, any circumvention of good laws, any denial of justice, any wrong or oppression that is against the Negro. Of course there are fair-minded white people in the South who are not mental leapers, but they do not make Southern opinion, nor do they, in any appreciable degree, influence it. Mrs. Belmont will, perhaps, learn that in dealing with the constitutional rights of citizens, mere agility of mind is not the right mental quality. At any rate, it seems that it would be well for the Equal Suffrage folks to stand on a square and level platform of equality before the law for all citizens. Intelligent colored women have as much right to the vote as intelligent white women. If ignorant white women are to be allowed to vote, then ignorant colored women should have the same privilege. If there are to be any qualifications, they should apply to all alike. The only true way to solve any great question like this is by the rules of justice and right. Any other method gives a false answer. J W J. ENSLAVED LIBERIA. Forty-three thousand square miles of Africa's most productive soil, with a sea frontage spanning a distance of 340 miles, convenient to trading vessels and only ten days from Liverpool, constitutes what is geographically known as Liberia. In this most fertile spot on the Western coast of Africa, tropical soils have coaxed nature to unbiosm herself and scatter throughout the uncultivated forests, such valuable products as coffee, ginger, rubber, kola nuts, palm oil and kernels, raffia and many others. When we attempt to analyze and classify Liberia's possibilities we find ourselves lost in a maze of undeveloped resources more dense than her forests and we are constantly asking ourselves if Liberia will ever fully realize the teeming riches which generous nature has placed in her grasp and the still greater wealth enveloped in her soil and awaiting careful, scientific cultivation. In 1847, England, France and Prussia, conscience-smitten over their part in the sale trade, formed their part in the slave trade, a treaty, in a moment of remorse, which established Liberia as a colony for the free Negroes then in their countries. At that time, some of the "wise ones" said that the experiment would be a failure while others were broad enough in their views to believe that with the infiltration of white blood from the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese slave traders and some knowledge of western civilization these Negroes would develop this rich soil into one of the world's important commercial centers. The 50,000 Negroes of American, English and local origin who constitute the governing class, inhabit the sea coast cities where they can trade with passing vessels and imitate American civilization. Instead of applying what agricultural knowledge they have to getting from the soil what it has to offer them, they depend upon the half-civilized interior tribes for their export products. Thus, they are apparently content to gather, in a sort of desultory fashion, whatever nature choose to grow for them and send it to the world markets as their own. And even in doing this, they are often careless. As an example, Liberian coffee was once the pride of the market, but not so today. South American coffee has supplanted it, not because it is of higher quality, but because South American coffee planters have applied modern and scientific methods to their cultivation, harvesting and shipping, while Liberian planters continue to follow the crude and primitive methods which they employed decades ago. And again, palm kernels are sold to West Coast traders for $65 per ton. This same ton of kernels, once within the doors of a modernly equipped factory, is quickly transformed into a valuable oil which forms the basis of many of our toilet requisites, and is then worth the handsome sum of $135. Laberia has no such factories and is quite content to give As late as September 5, 1914, a trade report stated that Liberia was in urgent need of flour, pickled pork, salt beef, corn meal, lard, preserved milk, salmon, sardines, vegetables, cheese, rice, sugar, dried fish, tobacco, etc. On the surface this statement looks quite natural and business-like, but behind it there is a story of wantonly wasted opportunities, for here is a country with a soil and a climate which will under cultivation produce rice, cattle, corn and cotton in enormous quantities, and here is a country whose waters abound in fish and yet depends upon far away Norway and Sweden and even America to supply her with dried fish, while the establishment of inexpensive fish-curing stations along her own sea coasts would easily meet all her requirements. Liberia, we fear, is a slave to ignorance, and foolish traditions. Liberia needs more than anything else the establishment of schools to teach agriculture and practical methods of doing things. Back-to-the-Farm should be the Liberian slogan. With the government conducting a systematic effort to educate the two million inhabitants of the interior and perfecting an interior drainage system, conditions there would quickly assume important proportions, the population would increase and the natives would begin to realize their agricultural opportunities. And when advancement is made along these lines and the Liberian people begin to show a disposition to get away from their crude methods of doing things, capital will come to their aid and assist them in the development of their natural resources by the establishment of factories and the construction of railroads. Liberia is a mighty lens through which the world is looking at the Negro race. It is for this reason that the Negro in America is beginning to free himself and urges his brother in Africa to arise from his present state of lethargy, shake from his limbs the shackles of ignorance and impractical civilization, remembering always that he who would be free must free himself. It gives us pleasure to reproduce the following from the Chicago Defender: 'The field of journalism and THE NEW York Age should be congratulated in having secured the services of JAMES W. JOHNSON, formerly U. S. Consul at an important foreign post. Mr. JOHNSON has long since become notable in belles letters and in the larger field of journalism; we bespeak for him eminent success. In his "VIEWS AND REVIEWS" are presented bits of philosophy and kernels from the facts of real life and living so rare and delightful until the most casual observer cannot but take them to heart and be the more thoughtful for the reading. Mr. JOHNSON possesses much modesty, he opens the windows of his literary genius so the light can radiate therefrom through his poetry, his drama and now journalistic arts. His latest book, *The Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man*, which created, favorable comment and reacted such enormous sales, failed to bear his name as author. He hides behind the nom de plume, and retreats his identity into the realms of the unknown; perhaps such humility is the best test of genius. We have so constantly heard and felt the call for the material in life until writers and idealists amongst us are almost unknown. In Mr. jonissus we may find epitomized an exponent of a new order and intellectuality of whom we may be proud. LIBERIA. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY A Subscriber for 26 Years. To the Editor of the Age I am now sending in my twenty-sixth years subscription to your most excellent book, *The Gospel of Hope*, and hope may live to subscribe as many more years and that The Akenay may continue in vigor, usefulness, and the championship of the cause of the Negro race and all oppression. O. A. FULLER, Bishop College, Marshall, Texas. Age Subscriber for Quarter Century To the Editor of The Age; In looking over my subscription accounts I found I was in debt to The Age $1.50 since February 5, 1914. Herewith it is in settlement. I thank you very much for not stopping my paper, because my history was due to the fact that I am now a member of The Age for nigh onto a quarter of a century. I will try to remit on time in future. Things are pretty tight in these little islands at present, due mostly to the burthor of Manila is full of marooned Grinling Islands present. Some of them have, made this the base for clearing for ports and then stealing out and transferring their coal to German warships hiding in the offings of the Philippine seas. JNO. W. CALLOWAY. Bureau of War and Peace. Manila, Philippine Islands. Dr. Mason Congratulates The Age. To the Editor of The Age It gives me much pleasure to congratulate you upon the splendid effort which you put forth in swirling the Republican party in your great State. The party which has done so much for this great nation must live and it has been clearly demonstrated that if the New York is to receive any sort of recognition in this country, politically. It must come through the Republican party. The result throughout the country is most gratifying and the Negro, as well as the white, Republicans throughout the East, North and West deserve much congratulation. I believe that Governor-elect Whitman of the great State of New York will make one of the greatest Governers, and the State has produced. I have carefully all which you have had to say about him and extend to you further congratulation for such a magnificent stand. Biruinghay, Ala The Levy Law Offers a Remedy. To the Editor of THE AGE: As a reader of your paper I would ask you to kindly give me information and advice regarding a certain law. If a man opens a place such as a barber shop anywhere in New York State for business, is it not a public place? And if there a law compelling him to serve guilty people regardless of color or nationality? And if he disregards this law, what would be the result if taken to an account? BOX 99, Sparkkill, N. Y. NOTE—Your recourse is a suit under the Levy Civil Rights Law—EDITOR. Negro Farmer Robbed by Banks. To the Editor of the Ace. Since 1883 I have traveled throughout the South as far as Texas and the Mexican border, observing conditions up until the present time. It puzzled me for a long time to understand why the colored American was not able to make more money than he did out of what was cultivated. Twenty-five years of hard work continually convinces me that the colored American who is engaged in cultivating land in the South is systematically robbed by the banks, the trading companies or stores and others; his loans from banks cost him at least 25 per cent in a legal rate of interest in many States; per 8 per cent, and the profits made by 100 per cent, on many cases. So it is rarely that a colored American is formulated to make a profit of over $4 per acre from his land. The banks and others in the South forced the colored American to grow cotton, two or three times as much money could have been made growing something else. Now that there no market for cotton the colored American will be made to suffer. A national or organization should take this matter in hand and stop this robbing of the colored American. JUSTICE. A Letter to Sense Turner To the Editor of The Age I am enclosing a copy of a letter that I wrote to Bishop H. M. Turner in reply to his address at Atlanta before a white audience Sunday. October S. that has just come to my hand, which met disapproval. Witness H. M. Turner Atlanta, Ga. Sir—Your address in Atlanta is a few weeks ago as not in keeping with your precepts and examples. How can you, on the declining years of life, say that the love of God is the only one of Providence, only to serve the white man, when tor half a century you have met the torch that has guided so many men and women out on darkness into light and has been the inspiration for so become respectful and appreciative. Your statement cannot be substantiated by a study of antitheology, where the real cause of racial intercourse is defined, nor can you must in no doubt where the Negro was omitted to see the white man. You opinion therefore is incompatible with a song conception of duty to work fellowman and justice to all men. It is the duty of all mankind to work and serve his fellowman, this duty fails equally upon races and nations, and cannot be shirked by the white man or by the black man, so that to aspire to it himself in life so that he will lift some mache in the great mechanism of the word where he will be the most useful to the social group in which he evolves. This, likewise, is meant on the white as the black man, but to say that either was created or the other was created contention is pernicious, designing to the many schools that you have helped to create and maintain. The Negro should entitle the white man only when his examples are intended and need for the achievement of the community, but should at all times, on his own initiative, serve to serve his own social condition, and in so doing work with the African people, who ultimately would permeate the class of society. I remember, sir, in 1857, when you were stumping the state of Tennessee for the cause of promotion, you stopped on your tour at the house of resort grant, in Cleveland. I was there, a youth of 10, stummed in the room, Mr. Grapevine lately that summer evening, you saw the beauty of nature that surrounded us, immed deep the fragrant air of the flowers and conversed with fluent case on the condition that confronted your people. I saw only your gloriousness and people that surrounded you; sat in absolute silence, apprehensive each moment lest a thought might be sworn from me by the streets that climbed in the glass as our eyes. You did not then say that you were, or I was, only accustomed to want to be a memorial all my life, subservient in will, body and mind to the thought and desire of the white man. So I was inspired in me a desire to utter my life; to be a factor in the civile and social movements of the community which I served adoys as my minister; that I have given, that an important factor in society has left a trace that it will require a man to infil. I have raised at that; not your fault. Then you preached a man for a man's position, and that a Negro vocation in life should be as high as he could reach, provided, however, that he was fitted for the goal of his desire and would be an enhancement to the social group and not an encumbrance. Why have you changed? GEC, A. HENDERSON. Pittsburgh, Pa. Negro Newspaper Efficiency. Since Mr. McCoy has had the courage to tell the naked truth concerning Negro newspapers ('.) and has suggested the scheme of having representative papers distributed among the "Young face of the race, and its claim that the present generation has no time to waste perusing the Negro Palacios, Natural History, and newspapers, being weighed in the balance, are found wagging, the idea of "pilialathrophe" weighed in the balance, are found to distribute papers to schools is a conception of great daring, to say the least, and deserves careful thought. In our editorial of last week an interesting comment is made, which chus is meet it one reads Negro papers! Beyond all doubt leading papers are making strong economic efforts to break off that supine provincialism which the majority of Negro papers suffer from, if these papers simply remain "Organs of proplaganda" and contain news of our church, fraternal and other organizations and social life." It is becoming more and more read as they run, exclaim, "I cannot find any news in Negro newspapers." The field for a great Negro paper booms up as a real possibility to the hard working editor. But at the very beginning he is beset and worried by certain peculiar conditions. The first is the lack of intelligent co-operation among the people as a whole, which extends to the individual. And also the lack of constructive co-operation among the papers. The editor works with great zeal to print in his paper what he considers news. He is very sincere in his endeavor and efforts. But does the general news that he prints satisfy or suit the public? Generally not, accepting Mr. McCoy's statement. Have the newspaper get in a systematic manner opinions get in the public's mind? Take a keen interest in their papers' When Negro papers have reached that stage of development where on certain regular dates they appear time by time, popular articles that have an inerence to its creation by an authoritative style of the work, the prominence of the author, theurnature of the paper will update a demand When these conditions are realized, the "young idiot" throughout the country and those now who cannot find news in Negro papers will suddenly discover the work, went to the nature of 5n "authoritative" works such as, the leading Negro newspapers, for which they have so been so willing to seek.

SENTIMENT seldom hinds in the stage a haven of refuge, and in making a bid for plaudits and favorable consideration the performer does not, as a rule, look to the playgoer for sympathy, knowing full well that the size of the tribute paid the inhabitants of stagland depends largely upon their ability to tickle the fancy of the fickle, fanciful public. Of course, there are exceptions to all rules, and at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week there was a notable exception in which sentiment, with a capital S, ran rampant and flooded the house from stage to second halo. It would have been a difficult matter for any true-blooded. American citizen met to have been a victim of sentiment at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week, for on the bill was an act known as the Five Veterans of the Civil War, who sang, danced the turkey trot, played the fiddle, thrummed the guitar, blew the cornet and made music on the mouth harp just as they did fifty years ago. These old blue-garbed veterans of the Civil War, now bent with age and their heads made hoary by the pronounced touch of Father Time, have been presenting their sketch in vaudeville for several seasons, but this week marked their first engagement in Harlem. The members of the act are William Ryder of the 143d N. Y., aged 70 years; S. R. Grant, 190th N. Y., 71 years; J. W. Armstrong, 104th N. Y., 75 years; John Hancock, 109th N. Y., 74 years, and Charles Barrett, 97th N. Y., 75 years. The idea should not be formed that these old men present an inferior act and depend upon crystallizing friendly sentiment to win applause, for what they do is well done and characteristic of ye olden days. But if their act was done by younger people it would be regarded as strictly passé and out of keeping with present-day entertainment. For their version of the turkey trot is vastly different from our modern conception of it, and their melodies are barren of these essentials that make hits in the musical world of to-day. It is, their presence on the stage that awakens one to a feeling of unbounded sympathy, and inspires one to applaud their efforts affectionately and unreservedly. Monday afternoon as I looked on at these Five Veterans of the Civil War as they danced and rendered songs of a half century ago. I became peculiarly impressed with the great significance of such a spectacle from a colored American's point of view, and there flashed across my mind the thought that here was an incident that was truly historic. For over a year the colored Americans have been celebrating in various sections of the country the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln. In many of these celebrations the progress of the Negro has been shown in many ways. But what depicts greater progress than these five old white Americans, who fought to keep the Union intact and for the abolishment of slavery, appearing before an audience composed mostly of colored citizens and entertaining them by dancing, singing and playing musical instruments? When the members of the act were with Grant, at Richmond fighting, to save the United States from viciousness, disloyalty and ignominy, little did they think that fifty years later they would be entertainers for a race then in bondage. Surely civilization has not walked backward since those days, and, if not, the colored American has made great strides since his emancipation. The Five Veterans of the Civil War spread their act by singing the "Star Spangled, Banner," assisted by the audience, while the picture of Abraham Lincoln is flashed on the screen, a fitting climax to their turn. It was gratifying to observe the remarkable demonstration over Abraham Lincoln's picture at each performance, which showed that deep down in our hearts the colored citizens still revere the memory of the martyred President. The name of Lincoln always finds a sincere and ready response when fittingly and opportunely used, but politicians and others for selfish reasons have in days gone by overworked this magical name to such an extent that we have become a bit suspicious as to its usage. That there is rancor in the hearts of some colored Americans and bitterness toward the United States Government, due to the many unjust and unnecessary discriminations to which we are daily subjected, was also manifest when many refused to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" or rise when the American flag was conspicuously displayed. The refusal of colored people in large numbers to stand during the singing or playing of "America" or the "Star Spangled Banner," and their disinclination to rise when the Stars and Stripes are displayed on the stage of the Lafayette have been the subject of much comment for some time. Monday afternoon after the show I was asked by a white patron why all the colored people did not stand and sing the "Star Spangled Banner," and I reuclc tantly told him the truth: That there were many Negroes who were growing less patriotic each day, smarting under the sting of injustice; that they had become bitter over the well-defined efforts of some to keep the colored man down and humiliate and embarrass him; that they see in our National anthems painful inconsistency, such as "In the land of the free and the home of the brave" and "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty," which appear more farcical than real to the colored American. My white friend stated he had not looked, at the matter in such a light, and when lie-left the Lafayette his face wore a studied expression. That the colored American has much to make him resentful is admitted. It is true that color prejudice has even invaded the seat of the United States Government and official sanction has been given by the Chief Executive of the nation and his assistants to the un-American policy of making the Negro feel he is not as good as a white man; it is true that many of our publications teach their readers that the color of one's skin counts more than character, intelligence, culture and wealth; it is true that in many instances the door of opportunity is shut in our faces because of color; it is true that in some sections of the United States we are denied the right to vote, a privilege we should enjoy under the Constitution of the United States; it is true that even in the North a well-dressed person with $100 in his pocket is compelled to walk block after block before he finds an accommodating restaurant, solely because he is colored; it is true that our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters, no matter how neatly dressed, educated and refined, are refused accommodations on Pullman cars in the South and oftimes are compelled to sit up all night while traveling from one point to another; it is true that white men abound, in large numbers in this country who prey upon the womanhood of our race, but who are the first to yell "Lynch him!" if a colored man accidentally rubs up against a white woman in public; it is true that in many of our white churches—North, East, South and West—the doctrine of Christianity advocated is the drawing of the color line in pulpit and pew. Yes, all of these things and many more are true, very true; but those of the race who have become so embittered that their feeling of patriotism has reached a low ebb should not forget that the colored American has many, many friends in this country—more friends than enemies; more well-wishers than villifiers; for if the bad and vicious were in the majority, our lot would be far more uncomfortable and unpleasant. It is natural for us to be susceptible to the many indignities heaped upon us, which always occasions a feeling of resentment, but we, too, should be susceptible to the many good things done for us, calling for a feeling of appreciation and good will. It is not the United States that sanctions discrimination, neither does the flag—the star spangled banner—refuse to wade for us all. A determined but fittile effort is being made to hinder the Negro's progress by those who are opposed to the principles for, which the members of the Five Veterans of the Civil War fought, those who in some sections of this country have never seen the American flag and who have not one spark of patriotism in their breasts for it. But they are not real Americans, and they care naught for the red, white and blue. Colored Americans ought not place the blame for the existence of unjust conditions on the flag or our national anthems, for those who would discriminate, and humiliate are as much enemies of the flag as they are to us. They are also enemies to themselves; and were I asked if colored Americans should sing "America" and the "Star Spangled Banner," and pay respect to the American flag. I should unhesitatingly and emphatically say. Yes! THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Simms & Thompson are at the Academy Theatre, Ruffalo. Will Wiggins is now violin player at the Lafayette Theatre. Lizzie Hart and Siren Nevarro will soon appear in a sister act. Anderson & Goines are at the Empress Theatre, Ogden, Utah, November 26 to 28. Crumblem & Clipper opened on the Loew time Monday and the act went over in great style. Louis Saulshire, Maggie Davis and the Porto Ricau Girls are at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia. Thomas A Brooks, with the Proliques of 1914, is at the Academy Theatre Pittsburgh. Mr Brooks announces that he will marry soon. Desertions from the Darktown Eollies are being chronicled almost daily it being said that the managers of the company are behind in paying off. Ed F. Peat and stock company, assisted by Hendeke & Lee, Ella Hayes, Doyan & Crippin, and others, are in their fourth week at Dixie Theatre, Richmond, Va. LAFAYETTE THEATRE. The Lafayette Theatre management announces that a bill of unusual excellence will be presented next week, commencing Monday, which will include Europe's Ladies Orchestra, Harper & Gillam and Lizzie Hart, at one time leading lady of the Smart Set Co. Among those in the Ladies' Orchestra are Marie Wayne, Minnie, Brown, Mazie Mullen, Ruth-Reed, Mildred G. Franklin, Mattie Gilmore and Marie Lucas. The bill the first half of this week was well up to the usual standard. The Blanks Sisters are back and are repeating their big success of some months' ago. Two clever girls are they. Fletcher, another favorite, told stories and sang songs in his own peculiar style, and scored strongly as usual. Toots and Madge Davis, late of the Darktown Follies, have a neat dancing cat, and Toots Davis lives up to his reputation of being a standout duck-dancer. Others on the bill were the Five Veterans of the Civil War, Russell & Hill, a sister team, and Rutledge & Pickering. Owing to a bad cold Abbie Mitchell was compelled to cancel her engagement at the Lafayette Monday. She will be seen in Harlem the second week in December. Three country stores are being held weekly at the Lafayette, Tuesday (furniture night), Wednesday (grocery night), and Saturday (jewelry night) with success. Feature photo plays, the latest releases, are proving popular in connection with vaudeville. EUROPE ON RACE'S MUSIC. EUROPE ON RACE'S MUSIC. The present vogue of modern dances and the consequent demand for modern dance music has put the Negro musician very much in the limelight. An interesting article appeared in the music section of the New York Tribune last Sunday, which includes an interview with James Reese Europe, conductor of Europe's Society Orchestra, and composer of many of the most popular dance numbers now in use. The Tribune representative introduced Mr. Europe's statement by declaring that the attempt to make Indian music the only American music is interesting but inconclusive. "The fact remains," said he, "that Indian composers, in any fair sense of the term, do not exist, while we have among us many talented and well-trained Negro creative musicians. A. Tribune representative talked last week with James Reese Europe, the composer of the Castle dances and the director of Europe's orchestra, an organization which has all but secured complete control of the cabaret and dance field in the city." Among other things Mr. Europe is quoted as saying: I am striving at present to form an orchestra of Negroes which will be able to take its place among the seri- cal musical organizations of the country. The Tempo Club contains about two hundred members, all musicians, and from this body I supply at present a majority of the orchestras which play in the various cafes of the city and also at the private dances. Our Negro musicians all dance in the flanders of the so-called gypsy orchestras. I do not consider the modern dances a step backward. The one-step is more beautiful than the old two-step, and the fox trot than the schottische, of which it is a development. There is much interest in the growth of the modern dances in the fact that Negro dances are long before the whites took them up. William H. Tyers wrote the first tango in America as far back as the Spanish-American War. It was known as "The Trocha," and a few Maori. These two tangos are now most popular, yet who- heard of them at the time they were written? They were the essentially Negro dances and the Negro dances the same may be said of the fox trot, this season the most popular of all dances. The fox trot was created by a young Negro of Memphis, Tenn. W. C. Hadryn, who five years ago wrote "The Memphis Blues". This dance was often played by me lascus, a season during the summer, in the city, Mr. Castle became interested in it; but did not believe it suitable for dancing. After a while he began to dance it at private entertainments in New York, and, to his astonishment, discovered that it was immediately taken up. Then it was in Paris, Castle became interested in its result that it is now danced as much as all the other dances put together. You see, then, that both the tango and the fox trot are really Negro dances, as is the one-step. The one-step is the national dance of the Negro the Negro always walks in the street, and the one-step is "The Castle Lame Duck Waltz", its perhaps, the most widely known of any dance now before the public. "Yet we Negroes are under a great handicap. For "The Castle Lame buck" I receive only one cent a copy royalty and the phonograph royalties in like proportion. A white man who receive from slim to twelve times the royalty and the privilege and profit far less popular than mine, but written by white men, gain for their composers vastly greater rewards. I have done my best to put a stop to this discrimination, but I have found that it was no use. The music world is controlled by a trust, and the Negro must submit to its demands or fall to have his compositions produced. I am not bitter to it, is after all, but a slight portion of it is pay in its at times almost hopeless light" for a place in the sun. Some day it will be different and justice will prevail. I do not believe that the Negro艺 present should attempt music distinctively Caucasian in type. The symphony, for instance, he does not really feel as if a white musician would 'feel' as if he is in the creation of an entirely new school of music in a school developed from the basle Negri rhythms and melodies. The Negro is essentially a melodist, and his creation must be in the, beautifulizing and enriching of the melodies which have become him. The Negro's songs are the expression of the hopes and joys and fears of his race; were before the war the only method he possessed of answering back his boss. Into his songs he pooled and, with what the boss did not understand, the Negro's culled. These songs are the only folk music America possesses, and folk music being the basis also much that is most beautiful in the world, there is indeed hope for the art product of our race. Salem-Crescent Cross Country Runs. The Salem-Crescent Club, with headquarters at Salem Church, 104 West 133rd street, have been holding cross-country runs for several weeks. Coach Tom Harris and Capt. Lionel La Beet of the track team are optimistic over the prospect of the contest to be held in Brooklyn this week. "To provide for the boys who do not run four basketball teams have been organized. These teams are known as the heavyweights, the lightweights, the cubs and the midgets. ATHLETICS 'AT HOWARD. To the 'Editor of The Agt; Last week's article further exhibited the lack of information and plenitude of prejudice of the News' contributor, life makes, with reference to basketball, unwarranted and offensive remark, sends out a team to _bleed_ and is supported entirely on athletics is lacking in its moral athletics. The institution that this is true of Howard is grossly unjust. Full and detailed financial reports, trebly, audited and filed in the University, show that the Athletic Council with rigid economy barely makes ends meet from year to year. - The Howard players are pure amateurs, receiving nothing but an "H" sweater in recognition of their skill, and that only when they meet certain specified conditions. Our expenses do not need to end, with railroad fares betel bills. New teams must be equipped, trained and coached before a game is played. Further, there is no floor owned by Howard University where the basketball team may practice; they must use a hall in the city which the Council pays for by the hour. In view of this it is impossible to expect the games for which considerable and expensive preparation is made should not be played at a loss. Three years ago Howard played a certain New York club on Christmas evening before an enormous crowd. This club made splendid profits and we asked him to clubhouse with the money no earned, but Howard received less than enough to transport the team comfortably from Washington to New York and return. When subsequent offers came his clubhouse listings were we asked a guarantee that suffices to allow us a fair share of the net proceeds, leaving for them profits two or three times as great. But they refused. The contributor of the New York ad that came with New York that are poor profits than those between teams from outside New York. Is it not fair that we should ask a one-third share of such profits to help us in equipping and maintaining our teams? Is this policy the policy of the club in question to take all and give none? The St. Christopher Club twice last season, under the management of Mr. Madden, brought Howard to New York on terms equitable to both teams and we believe, found it a satisfactory environment. With reference to games in Washington it is well to mention again that which many already know. There is in Washington, available for colored teams, no hall that is suitable for the proper playing of the game and the accommodation of paying crowds and Reformers' Hall is our best place and any game during the past three years never reached one hundred dollars. Because of this fact and the present very expensive season in athletics, the Athlete's Council has instructed its games committee to arrange. If possible, no basketball games in Washington would be allowed to the St. Christopher Club that conditions were such that "it is highly unlikely that we could give you suitable financial returns for a game here." We are charged with the duty of conserving the athletic interests of Howard as well as of fostering policies in our organization. It is clear that we cannot please all parties at all times. Our obligations to this university are first, however much we recognize the social good that is being done by some of the clubs in New York. The opposition to us is not general but is promoted by a few individuals. In all we feel confident that the keen-witted New York public fair-minded and fond of athletics will render just judgment. E. P. DAVIS Chairman Games H. U. A. C. Washington, D. C. Nov. 23, 1914. The Clefties met with unprecedented success on their second annual Southern tour. "In all the cities—Norfolk, Richmond, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia—the houses were well filled. In Washington standing-room was sold. Thanks to the work of G. Grant Williams, the local manager of the concert in Philadelphia, and his go-worker, Honce Chairman Deacon Johnson, the Academy of Music was well filled and many were turned away. This was most remarkable in view of the fact that a great celebration and parade of the National Federation of Labor was in progress during the entire time of the concert. *For success, in the other cities credit is the R. C. McPherson and the local managers who were selected and interviewed by him as advance agent.* As a climax to the tour the New York concert proved that the Chel Club has many friends at home as well as abroad, for only "friends indeed" would attend - Claf Club Notes. any public social affair on such a night as last Thursday. They were righly rewarded with a most excellent program. Miss Joan Sawyer, the greatest delineator of modern dances on the American stage, was charming, and the movies of the Clefties on their Southern tour moved the house to upoarious merriment. The dance music was superb. One of the Cleft Boys caused a baton to be presented to Conductor, J. Tim Brynn as an expression of admiration and esteem for Mr. Brynn, but was too modest to present it himself or to have his name mentioned in connection with it. G. Grant Williams, city editor of the Philadelphia 'Tribune', was a guest at the club last Thursday. Morehouse, Blake, Tuskegee. The team went on to prevent the Morehouse Tigers and Tuskegee Institute was played Saturday, November 21, and won by the old Marion before a crowd of almost 2,000 enthusiastic fans. From every technical and spectacular angle it was a highly creditable victory for Morehouse, and Tuskegee should proud of the great showing that her eleven made. Morehouse began her terrific play from the very start and made a touch down three minutes after the play began. From this time neither team scored until Tuskegee, in the third quarter, blocked a kick behind Morehouse's goal line and fell, on the ball, on a kickoff from the end of the on a knot. This was the first time that Tuskegee has registered to tochdown against the Old Maroon since 1905. In the final session, Morhouse renalized her critical condition, and the old powerful football machine, moving with an irresistable punch and great rapidity, placed herself in that coveted station and twice Lewis's foot turned the trick by making two, of the prettiest field, goals ever made on the local gridiron. The feat practically won the league, and the man needs to be commended for his excellent showing. By winning this game, Morhouse leads all of the colleges for the southernhaving defeated Talladega and Tuskegee.

During the last quarter Iane had a splendid opportunity to score, the ball being only three and a half yards from the goal, but was held for four downs by M. I.

A Critic and The Darktown Follies. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: I journeyed to the Grand Opera House when the "Darktown Follies" were the attraction, don't know whether they played in a show or the appreciation has waned considerably since the first performance at the Lafayette. Even then I did not overlook crudities, which I was hoping would be eliminated by Mr. Hill, who showed such big promise to revive popularity in Negro musical comedy. But now, in the are of funmaking, bad taste in the staging of some numbers, as by many of serious lack of skill, as by many of the performers, is very, conscientious. The scene where the lads kiss the lashes might be true-to-life in some conditions of society but as "pulled off" by the Darktowns is irrelegantly nonsensical, displaying very bad taste. Aro there no more. Negro singers and auxiliary comedians, to support the heudlinners" as we had some years ago. Miss Abbie Mitchell needs no defense. And the art-of Harper and Gilliam is so genuine, so unaffected, so subtly humorous that I doubt whether any audience can resist appreciation. But some of the other comedy elements are hardly removed from that miniatur concert that ureads the prize from the annual a charter of a museum to retain your seats at the close of the ling performance of a traveling circ. This isn't a "knock" but a hopeful desire to krouse the Negro stage to encourage a higher standard in histrionic requirements. It isn't given to the Negro audience, but it takes place several Negro stars, but surely the mediocre performer might display a little more than mere nerve and "a front" before the footlights, "HOPPONSON, 58 Fulton St., Weehawken, N.
