SEES NO HOPE FOR N.Y. NEGRO Have Good Clothes, Education and Money but Cannot Get Together Kansas City Negroes Lead in Music and Educational Work Oklahomaans Brave but Roughi Women Chew and Smoke. SO SPEAKS.DR.R.C. RANSOM Hope is in Negroes of the 'South where the Good Old Women, Facés Covered with Perspiration and Arms with Soap Suds, work out Destiny. "The Negroes of New York City are a big mass but they cannot be mobilized—they fallow no leadership. They are well dressed, have education and money, but they are, not together." These words cover practically the indictment of the New York Negro as handed down by the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the J. M. E. Quarterly Review, who has recently returned from an extensive tour of the South and Southwest. He was speaking before the men of the Manhattan branch of the Y. M. C. A., 53d street, Last Sunday afternoon. Partitionizing, Dr. Ransom said that the Negroes 'of Kansas City seem to lead in music and in educational work, but that the Texas Negro is the coming Negro in this country, looming big upon the racial horizon, with little educational advantages than is possessed by the Negro in any other State of the South. He said that deliverance will never come from New York, but from Texas, Georgia, Virginia and Mississippi. Oklahoma Women Smoke and Chew. Referring to the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court on the Oklahoma Jim Crow law, Dr. Ransom said: "Some of the colored editors, including the splendid editor of The New York Age, seem to think that we gained little by the recent decision" of the Supreme Court. After my experience Jim Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Crow, merely to have the court say that those laws are invalid is a great gain. The Oklahoma Negroes are brave, but rough. Many of the best women smoke and chew tobacco, and nothing is thought of it. The Texas Negro is the coming of age, and he up big upon the racial horizon. He has better educational advantages than any of the Negroes in the South. "The condition of our people in this country is full of hope. I would not advise the Negroes in any Southern State to come to the cities of the North. Here we are herded together in places where we cannot grow a flower for lack of air. Our delivery will never come from New York or New England or from any portion of the North. It must come from the Upper Delta of Mississippi and Virginia and Georgia and Texas, where the good old women, with their faces covered with perspiration and their arms covered with soup-suds, are unconsciously working out, the destiny of the black race."

Trotman, the Wall street broker, has purchased a four-story triple white stone apartment house which is located on Bedford avenue, one of Brooklyn's most prominent thoroughfares.

DO NOT WANT VETERAN CAMPS AT GETTYSBURG Dedicated to the New York Age Gretzinski, Pa., Dec. 9.—Following a protest from a number of white citizens against the future running of excursions here by colored posts of the Marshall Grand Army of the Republic, an official of the Western Maryland Railroad, over which the excursions are run, made an investigation here a few days ago. He found sentiment divided, and declared that the railroad would not discontinue the excursions unless stronger reasons were brought forth. The excursions put the road about $6,000 annually. The effort to have the excursions continued aroused some of the leading colored people here. They claim that the laws are sufficient to punish all who may be disorderly and that the law-abiding folks who make the excursion trip should not be deprived of this privilege because of a few who acted in an unseemly GROUND GUILTY AND FINED $100 FOR LIBEL Special to THE NEW YORK ACE RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 8—Fines of $100 and costs against Dr. J. E. Dellinger and Dr. J. E. Dudley and of $10 and costs against C. A. Camey and A. M. Rivera were levied by Judge W. C. Harris in the Raleigh city court Tuesday, December 1, when these defendants appeared to charge of equal privilege preferred by certain officers of the grand lodge of North Carolina. Each of the defendants filed notice of appeal and the cases will be fought out in a higher court. The libel as charged was contained in a circular letter sent out by the defendants, representing the insurgent element of the masons of the state who are trying to put the present set of grand lodge office holders out of business. The circular claimed that there was a discrepancy of more than $6,000 between the amounts collected and the amounts shown on the grand lodge books during the past five years. In Trig Age of December 3 it was stated that the circular charged officers of the grand lodge with embezzlement. The defendants deny charging/embezzlement and say they only claimed that certain funds were misgiven. Dr. Japes B. Dudley, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Greensboro, N. C., one of the defendants, has written the following letter to the editor of THE AGE. Your issue of the 3d issue contains an account of a label that is now pending in this Sun which through no fault of your correspondent may cause your readers to have an incorrect impression. Therefore, on behalf of Drs. J. E. Dellinger, A. M. Rivers and C. C. Amy, the signs of the circulator in the article, I am writing to say the gentlemen named in your article will embellishment. The circular was only intended to call the attention of the Masons of North Carolina the fact that according to the official records published by our Grand Lodge, that over $6.00 had been collected by the signers to the circular had found no published official account of the disposition of this money. The question as to whether official record is defective or there had been an impier displacement Funds is not in all discussed by circular notice there was no chal of embezzlement against any of Very truly yours, JAS.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 8—Due the past few weeks fifteen men have been killed by officers of the law, one of the cases being where arrests were attempted for trivial offenses. Not of the men killed was charged with capital crime. Because of this epistol of legal (?) murder the Nero court called a mass meeting at Knights, Pythias Hall on Thursday, December to the formal protest against these pos outrages and to secure a peaceful adjoint of conditions. The interests of all classes of women are being effected, the business progris is being impeded and the relations between the races is becoming strained a cause of the seeming disregard for man life on the part of the officer sworn to maintain law and order.

MARYLAND'S JIM CROW LAW UPHELD BY COUR Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Annapolis, Md., Dec. 9.—The lidity of Maryland's Jim Crow law was upheld by the Court of Appeals last Friday. The opinion was in the case of Jim Jenkins, who was arrested sometime ago for refusing to take a seat in signed him by a conductor on one of the cars' of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway. Mr. Jenkins was subsequently indicted by the grand jury of Baltimore city. His counsel, W. Ashleigh Hawkins and George W. F. McMeekee, demurred to the indictment, Judge Bollot, sitting in the Criminal Court sustained their view. The State, however, took an appeal from the decision.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 9—All Jersey City is wrought up because of an outrage committed 1 by Joseph A.

ENTITLED TO A SQUARE volver and made an attempt to kill the white man. The revolver was no good and failed to fire. Smith attempted to escape, but a policeman was secured and he was arrested. Only $1,500 Bail Required. Arrained before Police Judge Warren in the First Criminal Court on Tuesday, December 1, he was held in the nominal bail of $1,500 to await the action of the Grand Jury. Considerable criticism and comment has been aroused because of the very small bail required by Judge Warren in a case of so serious a nature. The white papers of the city have given little or no mention to the crime, and what has been said was placed in a remote corner, without giving definite mention as to the nature of the atrocious act. Two physicians have examined the child and both testify to the fact that evidence of the crime was discovered. The Dyer Jury is expected to take action on the case during this week, and the colored people are awaiting with intense interest the outcome of its investigation. The Dyer family is one of the head known in Jersey City, holding a major place in the community. Mr. Dyer has been employed in the governmental public service for seventeen years, and is present assistant superintendent of clerks at the Pennsylvania substation.

Supreme Court's Legislation against Negro? SEPARATE CAR LAWS VALID But Justice Hughes Says the Constitutional Right is Personal and not Dependent upon the Number of Persons Who May Be Discriminated Against Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9.—Sanguine students of the operations of the Supreme Court of the United States are trying to ferret out some hope for the Negro from the decisions recently ended down by the majority of that court, in Oklahoma "Jim Crow" case and the Alabama "Contract Labor" case. It is hoped that the decisions mean that in the minds of the majority of the court the time has come to call a halt in legislation against the Negro. In the Jim Crow case, the majority of the court, led by Justice Hughes, held that the prosecute of the Oklahoma Jim Crow law to the effect that sleepydoing and clear-cut murder be furnished by the railroads to the white race alone, got a tribunal to general requirement of the law for separate coaches for the two races was in conflict with the four-state amendment to the Federal Constitution in the Alabama Contract Law case, the court following Justice Hill held that the practice of planters becoming surrogates for Negroes converted of petty offices and taxed with criminal cost on condition that the Negro contract to remunerate the survey by personal labor for unusually long terms under penalty of arrest for breaking the contract was nothing short of poaching. No Hope of Annulling Separate Coach Laws. It was recognized by those who regarded the decisions as little short of misparking that the opinion on the Oklahoma case perhaps forever removed all hope of anything laws providing for operate reserves for the race. Justice Hingles in his opinion stated that the court agreed, with the decision of the Eighth United States Circuit Court of Appeals, from which the case came that previous decision's holding, such law, valid if equal accommodations were provided for the two races, were no longer to be questioned. He referred principally to the decision in the Mississippi Jim Crow case. The point of Justice Hughes' opinion (Continued on Page 5.) COM. MURPHY WARNS ABOUT FIRE ESCAPES John J. Murphy, commissioner of the Tenement House Department, has issued a special letter of warning to the people of the city, called forth by a number of fatalities in recent fires that might have been avoided if the occupants of buildings burned had exercised proper care in learning about the fire escape facilities. Two fires on November 22, in which eight persons lost their lives, aided by the Tenement House Department to make a study of the surrounding conditions with the result that it was definitely ascertained that in both cases ample fire escape facilities had been provided, one of the houses having more than was required by the law. Mr. Murphy's letter later says: The department emphasizes the warning, repeatedly listed to all persons, living in houses occupied by three or more families, to inform themselves as to the means of escape from their apartments in case of fire. This warning should be noted by every person, whether the building which he occupies a high or low grade house. The defense of the building proper means of five degrees to be furnished, but there is no certainty that such degrees will be properly used, unless tenants learn in advance where it is and how it should be used. The department calls particular attention to buildings which are equipped with party-wall balconies," instead of with fire escape balconies, "instead of which has suddenly connected the balconies affording them access to the ground. "Party-wall balconies are fire-escape balconies connecting windows of adjacent houses on the same level. When adjacent houses have an unpleased fire wall between them, such balconies afford the easiest and safest access to escape. All that is necessary do is place a fire or break in the window of the adjacent building, and enter the adjoining building. Our advice to all citizens is that a little foresight expended in studying the means of fire escape from your home may save much useless grief. GOVERNOR WHITMAN TO AWARD SPINGARN MEDAJ Charles S.

TANNER WILL NOT TAKE OFFICE UNDER WHITMAN Because of a variety of rumors connecting his name with certain high positions under Governor-elect Charles Whitman after January 1, Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the Republican State Committee, has issued the following statement: "I became, Mr. Whitman's manager in the primary, and subsequently State Chairman, to do my share in re-establishing the Republican State Party, and not for the reward of publicity, to appreciate the cordial attitudes of Governor-elect Whitman, but nothing could induce me to abandon my private practice at this time."

LEADING MERCRO PRICE FIVE CENTS EUROPE AT WAR TO RULE AFRICA At Urban League Annual Meeting = the Noted Hebrew Scholar Declared that the European War Vitally Affects Negro MAJOR MOTON AND HIS WORK Tells of Virginia Work and Cooperation between Whites and Negroes—Up to Better Class of Negroes to Show the Whites how They Live. Dr. Felix Adler, in his address at the second public meeting of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Friday night, December 4, said that the "deep underlying cause of this war is that all these nations in Europe are contending together to determine which shall have the power to role the black and yellow races" of Asia, of Africa. He deferred that two attitudes can be assumed toward a weaker race: one is the European attitude of forever maintaining supremacy over the people ruled, and the other is that of establishing a temporary government, with the avowed purpose of extinguishing that government and preparing the nation for self-government. Dr. Adler says he is with the latter, and that at present this is the attitude of this government toward the Philippine Islands. It is sip and tuck, however, said Dr. Adler, as to which way the government would go. If the standpatters return to power in the next election the United States may go over to the European attitude. He made the avowal that what is being fought for in Europe affects vitally the Negro in America, the European idea being that the white man will always maintain his supremacy over the nation, he rules. Review of League's Work The meeting was presided over by Fred R. Moore of THE AGE, and the program included a review of the work of the league by Eugene Kinkele Jones, associate director, addresses by Major R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute, L. Hollingsworth Wood, secretary of the league, and invocation by the Rev. R. W. Arnett, pastor of Bethel Church. Musical numbers were given by Major Moton, who sang "Climbing" "Jacob's Ladder"; J. Rosannand-Johnson, director Music School Settlement for Colored People, who sang "I'll Gal," and "Roll dem Cotton Bales." his own compositions, and by Miss Ethel Richardson of the same school, who played Coleridge Taylor's arrangement for the piano of the two Negro Sorrow Songs, "The Pilerim's Song," and "Deep River." In his review Mr. Jones traced the development of the league's work from its organization in 1910, with a budget of $2,000, to its present status, with a budget of nearly $20,000, with headquarters in this city, a housing bureau in Harlem and a branch office in Brooklyn. Among other things accomplished by the league have been the organization of the public porters, elevator men, chauffeurs and mechanics into associations which can better deal with their own interests and which tend to raise the standards of their members, the maintenance of a probation officer in the Court of General Sessions, the establishment of Big Brother and Big Sister work, the maintenance of a worker to meet the coastwise steamships and help colored women and girls who are coming up here for the first time; and the establishment of a housing bureau which has greatly improved living conditions in the Harlem section. Major Molon's Address. Major Moton spoke gp the establishment of the Negro Organization Society in Virginia, which has for its purpose the bringing about of cooperation between the best elements of both races in dealing with the problems of Negroes in the cities. In working for better homes, better farms, better health and better schools, the whites had responded heartily to the first three, but were not so enthusiastic in the campaign for better schools. The State board of Health had printed 40,000 balloons to advertise a Clean-Up last April, the balloons being written by Negroes. So effective were they that the health authorities printed an additional 20,000 for distribution among the whites in the rural communities. Major Moton concluded by saying that as the Negroes know much more about the whites and how they live than the whites do about the Negroes, it was up to the batter lays out Negroes to show the whites how to live. N collection of $400 was taken to assist the league in its work. Among those in attendance were Mrs. Wm H. Baldwin, Wm H. Baldwin,3rd, Joseph H. Baldwin, member of Parliament, London, England; J. B.

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.

DISHONESTY IN FRATER NAL AND CHURCH OR GANIZATIONS AGAIN In a recent address Bishop CHAPPELLE of the African Methodist Church is reported to have said some very plain and forcible things about men who are dishonest in the financial management of fraternal and church organizations. He served notice upon the pastors of his connection that he did not intend to appoint any man to a charge who was in any degree guilty of the nefarious practices which are all too common; that he would not make himself indirectly a party to fleecing the poor and ignorant of the race. The good. Bishop is reported even to have threatened to expose to the authorities the heads of several organizations. THE AGE has long been making a fight against dishonesty in our church and fraternal organizations and it is glad to see Bishop Oliver PELLE take the stand he has taken. We hope that all influential men, both clergy and laymen, will take a hand in this fight and not stop until all of the rascals are exposed and turned out. There is no meaner form of graft in the world than that practiced by the men who steal the nickels and dimes entrusted to them for the purpose of carrying on some benevolent work. And there is a large number of smooth secondrels in our churches and societies who never made a dollar in any other way. Here's power, to Bishop CHAPPELLE and all others who may have his courage to expose the rascals and turn them out. THE RACE, SITUATION IN HARLEM. The colored people of Harlem cannot be too careful to avoid any sort of disturbance which makes an excuse for the newspapers of this city to herald to the country the reports of a "race riot." No matter how trivial and insignificant the disturbance might be the reports of "riot" that are sent out are extremely damaging. These so-called riots are rarely more than an arrest, such as is made down on the East Side every day, but they give certain Southern newspapers the opportunity of saying some uncomfortable things. Every colored man in Harlem should, use his entire influence for the avoidance of these clashes. The East Siders can afford to have them. We cannot. JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR. THE NORFOLK "GET TOGETHER" CONFERENCE. Recently a conference was held at the Hampton Institute between representative colored and white-men of the city of Norfolk. The object of the conference was to effect co-operation between the two races for the betterment of both. This is a very significant sign of a better understanding and better conditions in that city. Mayor R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute spoke frankly, and directly to the white men present. Among other good and sensible things, he urged upon them to acquaint themselves with what the Negroes of their city were doing and trying to do, with the manner in which they live and with what the best ones want. Here Mayor Moton touched what we believe to be the key to this whole vexing problem: Intelligent colored men feel that if they could get Southern white people to listen to them patiently and become interested in them sympathetically the whole Negro question would at once be more than half solved. They feel that if they could get their white neighbors to know the better elements in the race, to know how they live, what their aspirations are and how great is their desire to cooperate with the white for the mutual benefit of all; they feel if this could be done the present misunderstanding and bitterness would soon be overcome. As the situation now is, the Southern whites know us only through their contact with the less intelligent and less progressive class of the race, and they continue to look with contempt and disdain upon the intelligent and progressive class with which they have almost no contact. A glance into the homes of some of the colored people in their very midst would be a revelation. But it is next to impossible to get them to take that glance. The most pathetic phase of the whole Southern situation is that as the progressive colored people advance they constantly widen the gulf between themselves and their white neighbors, that the very colored people who most need and who could best appreciate sympathetic co-operation are forced into an isolated position. But the Norfolk "get together" movement is a bright sign; and, if the committees continue to confer in the proper spirit the results for good will be far-reaching. If such conferences could be carried on in all the principal southern cities the present condition would be changed for the better within an astonishingly short time. HONORABLE CHARLES W. ANDERSON'S RECORD. In his handling of the intricate income tax and of the more recent war tar, Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, has made a remarkable record. Not merely a record of which he may personally be proud and of which we, as a race, should be proud, but a record which goes to the high water mark in the whole Revenue Service of the United States. It is not alone upon the fact that Mr. Anderson has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars each year without any discrepancies in his accounts that his high record is based—the average functionary with the normal amount of honesty and intelligence could do that—but it is principally based upon the way in which he measured up to the demand for initiative and for quick and sound judgment in the interpretation and application of an untried law. When a law is placed upon the statutes it is merely fundamental. Its entire effect and effectiveness will depend upon the decisions made in its interpretation and application. These decisions grow to be the commentary on that particular law and always exceed it in bulk. Often the law itself is complicated or vague, and the makers themselves are not absolutely sure as to what it means. These various decisions which are reached in putting the law into execution serve to give it clarity and point. This was true in a larger degree of the Income Tax law than of, perhaps, any other law passed in the United States. Here was a law without precedent in this country, and every day there arose questions of detail which could not have been foreseen by the makers nor which, had they been foreseen, could have been included in the original law. The majority of these questions came up first to Mr. Anderson, for it is in his district that the great bulk of the income tax is collected. How well he acquitted himself is a matter of record. It is safe to say that no man connected with the Revenue Service has had more to do with forming the mass of decisions through and by which the Income Tax law is interpreted and executed than Mr. Anderson. No tax law is popular; and, of all tax laws, an income tax law is the least popular. The fact that although Mr. Anderson's district contains the people who were the hardest hit there was little or no complaint speaks in the highest terms not only for his intelligence but for his skill, his diplomacy and his great common sense.

The charge of violation of the Mann 'White Slave Act' brought by a woman against a prominent banker of Providence, R. L., shows how that law may be diverted from its original purpose. The law was aimed against persons who profited in any financial way from the prostitution of women; and it hardly seems reasonable that a man of wealth and prominence would fall under that indictment. Each case of this kind sheds light on the case against Jack Johnson. Without offering excuse or defense for any acts of the pugilistic champion, it, nevertheless, seems right to say that the prime intent of the law did not apply in the prosecution which was successfully brought against him. It appears that the law should be so interpreted or amended as to prevent the ease with which it may become an instrument of mere blackmail in the hands of unscrupulous women. THE QUESTION OF FRESH AIR It was Ibsen who contended that the life of a truth is about twenty years; that is, what is true for one generation may not be true for the next. Science, the great discoverer of truth, is also, the great destroyer of truths. It no sooner sets up what it considers to be a truth than it starts right in to knock it down. This is the only method for learning the truth; for the tendency to bolster up and gloss over what we believe to be so, always results in paralyzing the effort to search after truth. For years we have believed that stagnant air is one of the greatest detriments to physical well being. The benefits of fresh air has become a dogma of modern hygiene. Sanitary reforms, tenement reforms and various other municipal reforms have been largely based on the belief that adequate ventilation, plenty of fresh air was necessary to good health. Perhaps, one-half the physical ills of mankind have been attributed to bad ventilation, to lack of fresh air. Now comes science and tells us that "bad air" is not bad at all. That air which has become loaded with carbon dioxide by being breathed over and over is in no way injurious. That its only ill effect might be a slight loss of appetite. This conclusion was not reached by fakirs, but by a commission of ventilation experts composed of men of the highest scientific standing. The tests were made upon students at the College of the City of New York in an experimental air chamber, and extended over a period of a year. It also appears that these experts started out to prove that "bad air" was a great deal worse than we commonly believed it to be, for the money to conduct the experiments was derived from a fund of $750,000 left by a Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Anderson to the Association for Improving the Conditions of the Poor. It has been said that anything may be proved by the Bible; whether that be so or not we are inclined at times to say that anything may be proved by science. A short time ago some medical authority stated that drafts did not cause colds. Perhaps not, but it is usual for a cold to follow an exposure to a draft that the careful person will still continue to avoid drafts. We think it was the old philosopher, Zeno, who proved by logic that there was no such thing as motion. He did it very simply by laying down the following proposition. "A thing must move in the place where it is or in the place where it is not. A thing cannot move in the place where it is nor can it move in the place where it is not; therefore, there is no such as motion." The answer given to Zeno was, "It is proved by walking." We are in no condition to dispute this question of ventilation with the scientists. We shall accept their verdict that "bad air" is not bad; however, we shall continue to believe that fresh air is better. We shall continue to believe in the ventilation of all rooms in which people sleep, live or work, and we advise all our readers to be old fashioned enough to do the same thing. THE RULER OF THE "NAVEE." It is reported that the picture of the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, was recently hissed aboard one of the ships. This is not surprising; all of his theories, from his suggestion to have the warships, when they had nothing else to do, engage in the cargo carrying trade, down to his order prohibiting the singing of "Japparyar," have been of a kind to make him unpopular with the men of the navy. Like Mr. Bryan, he is the type of man preeminently fitted and qualified to be at the head of a large Sunday School; but to be the director of one of the fighting arms of the nation—hardly. NEGRO FARMER." Casual readers must have noted that "The Negro Farmer," a paper for colored farmers, published at the Tuskegee Institute. Ala'a was launched in January of this year, with Isaac Fisher, the national prize essay winner, as its editor. Naturally, persons would congride that the paper is of interest to no one save farmers; but those who are keeping up with the paper are beginning to remark that it has an appeal to a number of persons who are not farmers. Particularly are the editorials beginning to attract attention. Mr. Fisher is not confining his editorials to farming interests, but is covering many phases of life and interest that have nation-wide appeal. The editorial entitled "The Negro Farmer Must Be Different." brought many replies from colored newspaper men; the one on "After the War, What—For the Colored Farmers?" caused a number of white boards of trade, as well as thoughtful colored farmers, to send words of commendation; while the editorial on the New York Age's "Beauty Contest," has brought letters and subscriptions from all parts of the country and from some foreign countries. "One Secret of Strength and One Secret of Weakness" has also attracted considerable attention. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHY SHOULD ANY COLORED MAN BE A DEMOCRAT? In the Letter of the Age For the first time, I include your councils to ask of any and all colored citizens, "Why should colored men politically allly themselves with the American Republican, I am an original first Republican candidate for the Presidency, John C. Tremont, in 1856, and I have voted and worked for every Republican presidential candidate since and in all of those years I have never discovered a good candidate for me, but I can support or vote for any Democratic candidate of measure, when the grave question of human rights were involved, black humans included. If there is any good reason, why I or any other colored man should not politically with the American Republican, I will glad to know that reason or reasons. I respectfully crave the information I desire from Mr. William Monroe Trautter of Boston, who recently, at the head of a committee of colored hometown reviewers from Washington and from Mr. Robert N. Wood, the president of the United Colored Democratic of New York City, I feel assured that the columns of The Age would be cheerfully accorded the gentlemen I mention to give publicity to their replies in answering my questions. I would like to be informed if the cohesion of public plunder is the animating influence that prompts their political attitude, and if they "brook the supply plagues of the knee that threaten their fellow colored country." To me the words of an American poet is at this time applicable: "Give us men." A time like this, de "Give us men." A time like this, demands. Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands. Men whom the lusts of office do not kill. Men whom the spoils of office gunnily buy." Those lines describe the kind of men and leaders that our people need at the present juncture of our political existence, and in my opinion those colored men who olly themselves with the home party, as it now past, are well of a racial treason, and deserve only pity or contempt. I admire President Welfare's frankness when he told Mr. Trotter and his fellow committeemen that they had made a mistake in voting for the party, and only hope they absorbed the hint so broadly conveyed. He did not conceal his, contemptuous, late for them, which frankly expressed the feeling of the entire Democratic party towards the entire colored peoples. They will accept your assistance, but do not like you, as they do not deny it, or at least they do not deny his interview with Mr. Troutter and his committee of colored men from Boston. Why, I ask, should any intelligent man of color take such a detestable political part? Such men are only held together by the cohesion of public plunder, obtained at the expense and hand of the contemptuous countrymen. They are of the contemptuous nature who "brook the supple hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning." They are of the class of men who kiss the hand that smites them, and say, "Thank you, sir." Mr. Robert Wood, the leader and president of the so-called Civil War Confederacy of New York City, perhaps can furnish me the solution I am seeking. President Wilson told them, and all other colored voters, that they made a mistake in voting for him, and his frank statement should convince Mr.utter and Mr. Wood that neither Mr.utter nor Mr. Wood that neither party want them in the party and that are politically either for colored people or their votes. As a matter of fact, he virtually read them out of the Democratic party. The wonder is will Trader and Wood end others of their skilc to touch of sense or principle in the role they are administered to commit to the City Presidency. Wilson The U.S. John H. Lockhart Institute, a former United States Navy from Kansas, wrote that the mission of the institute who wrote or helped it would be to "remove or improve or would be to threaten or an imminent" "Scientific broadly class' mission is statically and historically correct, is fully proved by their . . . from every colored man in the United States or the territors are involved." The instances of Democratic hostility to the Negro race are so many that I can only mention a few. Their name is legion. I will only go back to 1850 when they passed the Inauguration Pact, which made the free "North a hunting ground" escaped slaves, made every man who added the fugitive a criminal, and believed magistrates to deliver them up to slavery again. After that they tried by Congressional action and conquest to establish slavery in Kansas that was largely framed by the laws Brown. In brief detail will only make mere mention of the attempt to associate the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which give citizenship and the effective franchise to the colored men. Also the virtual disfranchisement for many Southern States. And, again, the segregation of the colored employees in the Federal service in the District of Columbia, a "Wilson measure." The Jim Crow cars on Southern railroads, the discrimination against colored men in the Southern States and the denial of the share of the school money—which the taxes which colored men pay help to create or raise. There are many other instances and reasons of which space forbids the mention in this article which Trotter and Wood should study. The Democratic party of the South (the nominees of the present times). They no longer anything and never forget anything." They are imbued with the same rancorous hostility to our race that Judge Faye of the United States Supreme Court displayed in his trial Scott discussion, when he said, "No Negro had any right, that a white man was bound to respect and the Democratic party of the South wing which controls it is animated by the same political impulse today."

Information reached me the last week that discrimination was practiced against colored patients in the Flower Hospital. I was very anxious to get to the bottom of this matter, and called the attention of the hospital authorities to it. The complaint was made by Miss Mable Smith, a young colored woman who lives at 244 West 53d Street, awaits her treatment in the hospital, and who claims that she was brutally mistreated by the nurses in the hospital. I have received a letter from the superintendent of the hospital, relative to the matter, an extract which I quote: "learn that any one should think that we discriminated at all because of the color of a patient. We treat all classes of patients, regardless of color, race or crest, but never before have there any complaints or charges of this nature." CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. ST. LOUIS, MO.

(Continued from page 11) it is taken as being that the majority of the court believes the limit of constitutionality was reached in these previous decisions and that the court will not permit their scope to be enlarged. Constitutional Right is Personal. The limit in the case before the court, in the majority's opinion, was reached when Oklahoma, after requiring the railroads to furnish separate coaches, and waiting rooms for whites and blacks, extended the railroads from furnishing sleeping cars, dining cars and chair cars for Negroes. The court had listened to Attorney-General, West, of Oklahoma, argue that the Negroes must show before the law could be held unconstitutional that their volume of travel was such as to justify the furnishing of the "pursuit" facilities in question, and had held him say that the railroads could not be required to furnish these special accommodations when the market did not demand such. It had heard the attorney for the railroads contend that the members of the Legislature were undoubtedly familiar with the character and extent of travel by Negroes and were of the opinion that there was no substantial demand for these facilities among those of the African race in the intricate traffic of Oklahoma. "It makes constitutional rights depend upon the number of persons who may be discriminated against, whereas the essence of the constitutional right is that it is a personal one." was Justice Hughes' reply to that argument. New Case Necessary to Secure Deoroo Only the fact that the suit for the injunction against the railroads enforcing the law was brought prematurely so as to make it impossible to state in the petition for an injunction against the railroads enforcing the law that the railroads had denied sleeping, dining or chair-car accommodations to the complaining Negroes while extending them to whites, including Indians and Mexicans, prevented the majority of the court from decreeing the proviso unconstitutional. Under the decision this is left to a case properly brought, and at that time must be decided whether the entire statute is so connected with the unconstitutional provision that the entire enactment is invalid. Comment is heard on the personnel of the justices who joined merely in the decree of the court without saying anything as to the constitutionality of the law. These were Chief Justice White and Justices Lamar and McReynolds, all from Southern States, and Justice Holmes from Massachusetts. This left Justices McKenna, Day, Van Devanter and Pitney, at least all from Northern States, deciding with Justice Hughes that the proviso was unconstitutional. HOWARD UNIVERSITY NEEDS MORE MONEY Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9.—The financial report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, has just been made public by Edward L.

The medical department, even with the reduction of salaries that were already merely pititances, showed a deficiency of $2,721.32 and the theological department was behind $15,188.

PAPER TO TASK Special to The New York Acu- MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 8.—Most of the daily papers of Minn., Dec. 8—Most of Wilson's attitude toward the Negro delegation headed by Trotter of Boston, and his segregation policy, but The Journal, which usually takes the side of the strong anti-interests, supported the President and supported the colored people editorially to develop themselves independently of the whites. Gale P. Hillyer, who graduated in 1912 from the University of Minnesota, and who, since then, has been pursuing the study of law at the university and in the law office at B. S. Smith, wrote a strong letter of protest, which was published. He is a son of Andrew F. Hillyer of Washington, D.C., and expects to be admitted to the bar within the next few weeks. His letter was as follows: Race-Segregation in Office. To the Editor: In an editorial last Thursday, the Journal apparently took the position that President Wilson was entirely in the right in a recent interview with a colorful delegation cannot be ignored. The delegation gretted that the spokesman of the delegation appears to have displayed had taste in his manner of addressing the president of the United States, and must not be allowed to cover up the real facts. The delegation called on President Wilson to protest against segregation on the ground race in several of the government departments. Washington said this same delegation has called upon the President with regard to the same matter, and at no time has it ever gotten a satisfactory reply from the president. Thus segregation exists, it is idle to deny. The writer himself has been in Washington recently, and has talked with numbers on the colored clerks, all of whom declared that it would be better to keep still about the quiet official "tips" from those "higher up" that it would be better to keep still about it. The "resident himself" practically admits that the president is not the best business to do is to prevent "race friction". The President seems to believe that racial segregation is necessary in the government departments for the business of the business and in effect said much the same with All due deference to the President's belief. I submit that such a procedure will not reduce base friction, but will rather outweigh it. The president says that in the government service alone won their positions through merit alone after competitive examinations open to all. They are human beings and they feel keenly the stigma of being segregated from their fellows like hepers. If the President is seeking to stir up racial strife and hatred alone could not adopt a more effective strategy in the method of segregation now being employed. The Journal seems to agree with President Willem that the Negro should seek because it becomes impossible. It is opposed to the whole tendency of the age which is toward the mutual interest of the various races and nature of mankind. The Negro is in America today. He came out of his own free will, but once here he was not free to play. We are facing one of two situations in this country today: We either are going to have democracy, or we are not. If we are, let us tolerate and tolerate no distinction of race or class, and if we are not, why let's be frank about it and say so. We stand to-day almost alone, among the so-called Christian nations as an example of peace unto the world. Surely that terrible and wickenedness of race jealousies and animations. Let America rise and with one voice proclaim to the world the gospel of the golden principle in more theory but as a working principle in practical everyday world in which we all live. BOOK USED FOR FUNDS FOR WILBERFORCE WILDERFORCE, Ohio. Dec. 8. - President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University, has just become the pleased recipient of the first subscription book used in the interest of Wilberforce University nearly sixty years ago. Its preface read, "Subscriptions to Purchase Tawawa Springs for an Ohio African University." It was sent him by Mrs. Eliza M. French Taylor, of South Orlége, N. J., the daughter of the Rev. Mansfield French, President of Xenia Female College in the early 50% of the last century. Mrs. Taylor was also a teacher there, the teacher of the Furrier and the beginning of the work for Wilberforce are not only of great interest but of historical value to the school named after the famous English philanthropist and abolitionist. At that day when "many people were much displeased at the presence of the 'school,' the most sanguine supporters of the project could not have imagined the institution which has reached such splendid proportions and recently received the indulgent and vigorous administration of its present president, whose five years of management have placed it in the forefront of Negro schools. BOY IN OHIQ SCHOOL MIXED WASHINGTONS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE COLUMBUS, O. C., Dec. 8—What is fame? If G. Washington, father of his country, hero-of Valley Forge, etc., etc., were living to-day he might make this interrogation. Why? Because a little school fellow of eight summers, when asked the other day who was the first president of the United States, promptly replied, "Booker Washington." Then when asked if that could not be answered after doing the task of free destructive damage, asly replied, "Booker Washington." While G. Washington, who entered into everlasting coma at that finished city whose geographical name is Alexandria, might regretfully ask, What is fame? the builder of a great educational institution in the vicinity of "Humgy" Hill. Ala., might reply, "Fame is being known to even kids out in the capitol of the Buckeye State." NEGRO RESORTS FOR WHITE MEN CLOSED Special to THE NEW YORK CITY COLUMN. Dec. 8. Twelve women containing between forty-five and fifty women, resorts conducted by Negroes for white men, were visited by Sheriff John C.

The resorts were ordered closed, the sheriff expressing the opinion that houses of this character are a greater menace to the community than "Blind Tigers."

Dec. 8—By appointment THE Age correspondent called on Dr. C. F. Mereserve, president of Shaw University, last Monday morning and secured a statement from him on matters concerning the school. Dr. Mereserve said, "I am glad you called on me, a thing you should have done last winter when an uprising took place among the sclent body of the school. Your publications of the incident greatly misrepresented me. I would have gladly given you the facts in the case. "However, we have passed through that ordeal and the school is now in a fourthing condition. We have all the students that we can comfortably care for. We are short three teachers this year by action of the finance board cutting out $1,000 of the usual appropriation for teachers. This was done because the board was unable to procure the money. "During my stay here as head of this school, I am pleased to say that we have had very few undesirable students to discipline. With those we have had to discipline we have dealt generously. We have allowed them to quietly leave the school without dismissal, whenever would consistently do so without casting their eyes on the students. am sorry to say that some of the students dismissed because of bad conduct were admitted into other schools without a recommendation from our school. Students Always Given a Hearing. "The statement that I will not give students an audience to hear their complaints is false; much of my time is spent in hearing students' complaints. One of the rules of our school is that no student can marry during the school term. This rule was violated last winter by a student who stood well in his classes and bore a good reputation. Instead of dismissing him, I advised him to quietly withdraw from the school during the balance of the term, and told him that we would admit him back into the school next term without prejudice. "His classmates objected to his leaving the school and requested us to reschedule the order. This we refused to do. Hence the unrising." "Now as to the closing of Leonard Hospital, I wish to state that we were forced to do it because we had no money with which to pay the medical faculty and the running expense of such an institution. Replying to the charge that we did not permit colored doctors to practice in the hospital, I would say that Leonard Hospital is a private institution connection with Shaw University, and not a general hospital. No doctors other than the faculty are allowed to practice or treat patients there, because the faculty is responsible for the care of all patients. Many white doctors sending patients there were not allowed to practice on them, but could visit them." HEADWAITER McLANE RECRUITS HOTEL CREW Special to Tur. New York.

C., Dec. 2—Messrs. C. D. Sauls, A. E. Best and Harvey Fox are promoters of the Greene County Pig Club, organized in accordance with the plan recently outlined by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Already the colored people of this county are aroused and have caught hold of the idea, determined to raise at least one extra hog this year and thereby do what they can to relieve the stress of the present financial condition. The Greene County organization is to have a branch in each of the nine townships and workers in each branch will make an earnest, vigorous campaign in the interest of the movement. It is predicted that more than one thousand colored families will raise an extra pig this fall and a conservative estimate places the combined increase in wealth of these families at more than $10,000.

BRUNSWICK, GA.-St. Athanasius School gave an entertainment on Thanksgiving night for the benefit of its industrial teachers' fund. The entertainment was a success.' The feature of the evening was the first appearance of Richard H. Harrison, dramatic reader and humorist, before the people of Brunswick. He gave several readings from Dumbar, Dungue and others, recited the court scene from The Merchant of Venice and closed his performance with a dramatic rendition of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven." In connection with Mr. Harrison's program, Miss Carriebel Cole gave an exhibition of her physical training department. Her part of the program contained Hilarion with the Blinge Folk Dance by the fifth and sixth grades; Sailors' Hornpipe by the seventh and eighth grades, a gymnastic drill by the seventh grade and Hungarian Trio Dance and Silver Star Mazurka by the High School girls. Miss Dolores C. Smith assisted on the program by singing "Isle D'Amour." The work of the children reflected great credit upon the teacher and her department. Miss A. E. Delany's cooking department furnished refreshments after the program to the audience many of which remained for further enjoyment under the straps of Keith's orchestra. **HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS.** Holly Springs, Miss.-Mrs. A.

THE following communication has been received from Daniel H. Murphy of the Baltimore Afro- American Ledger: To the Dramatic Editor of The Ago. I am writing to see if you can give me any information concerning Mr. Charence Logan, manager of the Darktown Follies. The company was in Baltimore, week before last and Mr. Logan, was supposed to have met with the representative of The Afro-American Ledger called to see him at the theatre in reference to some advertising matter the company had contracted for he treated him in anything obtrusive gently way. This is the time a representative in a paper was created in such a way by the manager of a, theatrical company. As you are interested in the beat and highest that the colored theatrical profession represents I am writing for information. Your surname sincerely. (Silent) DANIEL H. MURPHY. Baltimore, Md. Criticism of the discourteous treatment accorded representatives of the colored press by those in charge of the business end of the Darktown Follies has been indulged in by a number of Negro papers within the past month. The complaint lodged against the business managers of the show is not the first to be directed to the attention of the dramatic editor of The Age. With J. Leibrie Hill struggling against great odds to keep his company intact and at work, it is to be regretted that his organization is the target for so much condemnation. In justice to J. Leubrie Hill, whose stirring adventures on the road the past two seasons would make a volume of interesting reading, the comedian-composer is absolved from censure, as he has not been directly associated with the business end of the show since the Darktown Follies became an attraction on the Progressive Burlesque Wheel. Mr. Hill's duties have been confined solely to the stage, while others have attended to the onerous task of receiving and disbursing money. As for Mr. Clarence Logan, he, along with a Mr. Barton (not connected with the Smart Set Company) has been attending to the financial affairs of the Darktown Follies, and it cannot be said that their methods of doing business have been such that they would come out winners in a popularity contest if some of the colored newspapers had anything to say. It may be that Mr. Logan is acting under orders from the office, but if so he should not allow himself to be a party to any business transaction that would reflect discredit on his integrity or represent him to be an ungentlemanly and unbusinesslike. Additional information from Baltimore is to the effect that when a representative of the Afro-American Ledger managed to see Clarence Logan, after having waited in the lobby of the theatre for three hours and this was not his first visit) he was informed by Mr. Logan that he (Logan) did not know anything about the bill contracted for, and did not know, whether the newspaper man would receive any money or not. Surely business representatives of colored theatrical attractions do not expect kindly consideration from colored newspapers when their representatives are treated worse than messenger boys and when the management of a company refuses to pay honest debts contracted. At best, colored publications have a difficult time in weathering the stormy financial seas, and they should be encouraged rather than discouraged, financially strengthened rather than weakened. Members of the race interested in theatricals should, give all the financial assistance possible to colored publications, for they are to be strong factors in fighting for our rights in the near future. From them shall we get inspiration to keep up the fight for the many things to which we are entitled under the Constitution which are to-day denied us; from them shall we be taught the real meaning of race consciousness. That the business managers of the Darktown Follies have been guilty of mistreating the colored newspapers is personally known to The Ace, for the business office of this publication has been assiduously striving to collect two bills contracted by the Darktown Follies while playing in New York at the Prospect Theatre and Grand Opera House, respectively, about a month ago. Efforts were made by various representatives of The Ace to collect the money, due for advertising at the box-office of the two theatres, but to no good purpose, and all endeavors to secure financial recognition at the Barton office have been futile. Promises, vague and indefinite, have been the net result of a great expenditure of labor. Such disagreeable conditions should not exist, and it is embarrassing and humiliating for colored newspapers to be forced to admit to being parties to these undesirable transactions. It is true that times are hard, but all well-minded persons are doing their level best to pay their bills. The cry of hard times has not softened the hearts of the street car conductors, nor have the gas man, the coal man and the butcher shown any unusual evidences of unbounding philanthropy. Advertising, is the life of a newspaper, and those who would contract for advertising should make it their business to fulfill their financial obligations to the letter. It has not been so very long ago when the Baltimore Afro-American refused to accept theatrical advertising, and it does not require a great stretch of imagination for readers of THE Age to recall when THE Age did not contain a line (advertising or otherwise) about theatricals. But now, along with the Indianapolis Freeman, many colored weeklies, including the Philadelphia Tribune, Chicago Defender, Boston Guardian, Washington Bee, Washington Sun, St. Louis Argus and old established papers in other cities are doing much to elevate the standard of the colored theatrical profession through their columns. And it behooves those directly in a position to do so to "rub the fur the right way" in "doing business with colored newspapers; to tickle their good will rather than pinch their displeasure; to invoke their sympathy rather than arouse their wrath. For the influence and kindly consideration of the colored newspaper is greatly needed by the colored theatrical profession and those identified with it. THEATRICAL IOTTINGS Arthur Allen has joined forces with Wiggins, the dancer. Mrs. Wiggins has gone home. Thomas A. Brookes and the Froliques of 1914 are at the Star Theatre, Scranton, Pa., with Rochester to follow. Anderson & Gaines are en ruote this week from Salt Lake, Utah to Denver, Col., where they open December 13. Fiddler & Shelton will be at the Family Theatre, Lafayette, Ind., December 10 to 12; at the Orpheum Theatre, Gary, Ind., Sunday, December 13; at the Gaiety Theatre, South Chicago, Ill., December 14 to 16. Holliday & Chadwick were at Jones Theatre, Brooklyn, the first half of the week, and will be at the Alhambra Theatre, Stamford, Conn., the last half. Sunday, December 13, at Murray Hill Theatre, New York. At the New Standard Theatre this week the bill includes Murphy & Walker, Tyler & Gerward, Butler & Johnson, Three Romans, Lizzie Hart Dorsey, Sirene Navarro, and the Reese Brothers and 10 Africanders. Gainer & Brown, late with the Darktown Folhies, played Watertown, S. D, November 30 to December 2; Aberdeen, S. D, December 3 to 5; Sioux Falls, S. D, December 6 to 7. They are on the Western vaudeville time, and doing nicely, they say. LAFAYETTE THEATRE The inclement weather had a tendency to keep down the attendance to a perceptible degree at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week, many showing a reluctance to brave the elements, it being the first disagreeable touch of winter. However, theatrical managers always expect a decrease in attendance when the cold, rain and snow make their first appearance. There was much to commend on the bill the first half. Chief interest was centered on the appearance of Abbie Mitchell, assisted by Will Marion Cook, who has not been heard in Harlem since her engagement with the Darktown ladies. These columns have seemed with so much praise of Miss Mitchell as a singer that it is difficult to and new expression in speaking complimentary of her work. Sutice to say, she is a little artist, who is head and shoulders over all other singers of the race from a purely artistic standpoint. Ably, as always is the case, assisted by Will Marion Cook. Miss Mitchell rendered selections that elicited unstinted applause. Lacy Ling was a short film that contributed a sort of an afterpartum film many years ago in minstrel shows. Sid Perrin has revised it and at the Lafayette Theatre this week, in conjunction with "Bob" Slater, is producing the piece under the title of "Miss Luey's Birthday Party." Despite the fact that the sketchy savors of situations, lines and comedy of day-gone by, many found much to laugh over the antics of Sid Perrim, a sure enough comedian. Arthur Braxton assists Perrin in the fun-making and he, too, is funny. "Bob" Slater does the straight, while Goldie Crosby does the most amusing. "Bob" and Goldie Turner there are Jennie Ringgold, Jessie Turner, Jennie Day and Malel Braggs, who represent the beauty end of the sketch. The Boldens are well known in Harlem living in that section, but Monday marked their first appearance before Harlemites. Many were curious to learn just what the Boldens did that made it possible for them to work almost continually during a season. After seeing the Boldens on the stage the answer was an easy one. The Boldens have an act that pleases from start to finish, one that never has, one containing comedy, music and dance. The acrobatic dancing of the male member of the team is the feature of the turn, and he seems as much at home spinning around on his head as he does dancing on his feet in grotesque fashion. Miss Bolden shows up best in solo in which she whistles on four time, accompanied by her partner on the piano. Tanneau & Clayton have a musical act which went live, glabraque being particularly height and tempo. The St Clair Brothers have an acrobatic act of the big-time variety with a strong finish. Kenio & Wagner are acceptable on their turn. "Fum in Toyland." Jenkins & Moore, who have been a hit in vancouver for several months, will be one of the acts at the Lafayette Theatre next week.

Orchestra LEAVE ORDERS FOR BOXES AT 119 W. 136th ST., NEW YORK CITY BOXES $3.00 WILL ANTHONY MADDEN, Manager CRITICIZE CLEF CLUB. The Worker, a monthly publication issued by Miss Namie U. Ritrueghe of the "National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C., makes the following criticism of the program rendered by the Clef Club Symphony Orchestra on its recent appearance in Washington. It is headed "Missed the Mark." The Symphony Orchestra of New York appeared in Washington a few nights ago. The aggregation of musicians forms a sort of American Bailalak. The promoters announced that their one purpose is to dignify the place of colored musicians. They missed the mark at the Howard Theatre the other night. The conductor is one of the musicians he has have seed. He was free from articles and show, but was inappropriately dressed. He wore a white flannel suit and shoes fit for band concerts on the green. His men wore anything and the seating was not done so as to give the audience a pleasing picture of the performers. The songs were all grays and rags. The acting was cone, straight, made of Negro he was made all manner of fun of old climax was reached when one of the performers sang the parody to "Wouldn't That Be a Dream." The rendition of this selection, in manner, gesture, Interpretation was an insult to the cultured audience that came out to express its appreciation for a group of man who promised to lift the Negro race, through music to the place it offered. The singer of "Roll Dem Cotton Bales" was shabby dressed and did the coon act from crap gestures down or up. Our good old jubilee songs are being ruined by these late interpreters. Give us the good old way that sang Fisk in the 1950s, but now we have In the name of a race of whom little is expected except "monkey shines" on the stage, we hope performers who are good at demean us will know the difference between our vaudville and high-class performances. Vulgar Acts on Washington Stage. Vulgar Acts on Washington Stage. To the Dramatic, Editor of The Age: The space allowed critics of vulgar acts used, for if, there is anything that which would vulgar acts in our colored theatres, especially in this city of Washington, where the majority of our cultured people live. In Prof. Miller's explanation published the Saturday 27, which should be read by all people (the majority of people), he blames the audience, as their applauding such acts gives the manager to understand that such acts are in demand by his patrons. But the managers should understand the empty barrels (heads) make the most of the theatre-going people are empty barrels. Music Settlement Notes On last Sunday a close friend Kitty Cheatham spoke to a large and enthusiastic audience on "The Ethical Relation of Folk Songs to the Development of the Race," illustrated by Negro songs. Miss Cheatham, beautifully owned and politically charming, made a splendid appearance, and the audience was soon under her influence. Miss Cheatham has done more than any living artist to make the Negro world a world of world and her charming rendition of quite a number Sunday afternoon revealed her as a supreme artist in her closed field. The accompaniments by J. Rosmond and her delight, not to mention the two songs he gave at the conclusion of the program. On Sunday afternoon, December 13, the school will offer a program of Negro music performers by Negro musicians in the Carnegie Hall, the largest black music composer now visiting in this country. At the close of the program Mr. Graninger will play some of his own compositions and performers. His works are widely performed on the recitals in Carnegie and Aeolian Halls. In London his powers as a conductor and his mastery and charms as a composer and popular music figures of today. In Carnegie Russia, Austria, Holland, and Scandinavia he met with enthusiasm such as is reserved for few. Mr. Graninger, who has been a member of the school, is keenly interested in Negro Music and the work of our Music Settlement. The Choral Society will begin its re- gistration on Monday, March 15th. A large another has registered. Mrs. Dorra Cole Norman's class in social dances gave the fourth of its social last Friday night. In spite of many other dances, the group had a large and happy number assembled. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Norman's junior class of over fifty pupils met in the assessment room to prepare the Christmas folk dances. The number of patterns have generously donated many presents, which will be given to each pupil from the Xmas tree. After the folk dances, the students were participated in and later many defiances of the season were gerved. HOWARD COMING TO N.Y. Next Tuesday night will witness the meeting at Manhattan College, 155th street and Nighthaven street, of the basketball teams of Howard University, Washington, D.C. and the St. Christopher Club of New York, Inc. Interest is at fever heat and prospects are that a record-breaking crowd will witness the game. Word comes from Washington that the Howard team will be one of the best and strangest teams ever seen in that city. The team has been augmented by the addition of Gilmore, Randall Brown, Carter, Crimmage and Johnson, and the addition of football team. Since the football season closed the basketball team goes on the court in the evening for practice instead of in the early morning, and it has the services of a regular coach with training table and sleeping quarters in Clark Hall, Dr. Arthur Curtis, who has been a few years ago. In the coach, and the team will be picked from a squad numbering twenty-five. However, Madden is losing no sleep over the strength of the "Blue and White" team, as he has on the "Red and Black Machine" players who ought to be able to hold their own with any team in the East. Tom L. Johnson, the bassist, has Tom L. Johnson, ex-mayor of Cleveland, will be a guest of honor of the St. Christopher Club and will "throw out" the ball to start the game. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, United States Collector of Internal Revenue, will make the presentation speech for the club in giving the solid gold bass line to some lady present, and Europe's Lady Society Orchestra will furnish music for the evening. Boxes are $3 and can be had at the club rooms. 119 West 136th street. St. C.'s "Tigers," Inc., Swamp St. Cyprians. On Saturday night, December 6, the "Tigers" of the St. Christopher Club of New York, Inc., made their first appearance of the season when they played the Giants at Washington boys," winning by the one-sided score of 46—16. Some of the "Tigers" will be seen in the line-up against Howard University on Tuesday night, December 15 at Manhattan Casino. The line-up was follows: Substitute for St. Christopher, Parker; substitute for St. Cyprian, Johnson; field goals, Harding; 8; Perkinson, 8; Singleton, Wilson; 4; Wilson, 1; Redding, 1; foul goals, Redding; 1; Johnson, 1; referee, Mr. Spasson Field Club; timers, Raymond Wright for St. Christopher, Mr. Cooper for St. Cyprian; scorers, Warwick Cheesman-for St. Christopher, Mr. Perman for St. Cyprian. Time of halves, 28 minutes. Topics for St. Christopher Club of New York, Inc. George Edward Brown was unanimously elected a member of the board of directors. New Year's Matinee Game. On Friday, January 1, at Manhattan Casino, the "Red and Black Machine" will meet in a New Year's matinee game the Alpha "Big 5" of the Alpha Physical Culture Club, Inc. Manager Thomas of the Alphas is expecting to put the "Big 5" on top this season, and Manager Madden is just as sanguine as to the St. Christians. Mr Madden makes the claim that the title "Red and Black Machine" was originated by him, and that of the "Tigers" by George Eddie Brown, and both have been incorporated under the State laws inclusively with that of St. Christopher Club of New York. Girls' Teams to Play The Wisconsin girls and St. Joseph Girls basketball teams will meet in the first game of the season between girls teams and St. Joseph girls on Tuesday night, December 11 at 9 p.m. Dancing from 11 p.m to 3 a.m. Royals of Paterson Win Seventh Game The Royals basketball team is the seventh straight game by defeating the Pioneers, a white team, by the score of 30 to 10. The Royals' pass work was the best seen in Paterson for some time. Carson Sessner and Steward were stars. Hildaills played in the game at his home and Easton recorded in great style. St. C.'s of St. Ph. Ip.'s Parish Wins' Twice Last Monday night in the St. Philip's parish gymnasium-the first team of the parish, known as the "Machine," defeated the five from the New York Dental College in a well-played game of basketball by the score of 42 to 22. The Dental College lets up a good game and made the "Machine" work hard for the victory. Most all baskets were made from long distances. St. Christopher put up her usual good game with the playing of Jenkins one of the features. Preceding the big game the second team, known as the "Tigers," were victors over the "Hornets" of the Spartan C. B. by the score of 23 to 12. The Hornets were fast, but lacked the team work which would make them winners. Interstate Basket Ball Match. The fast imperialis of orange, N. J., will meet the Salem-Crescent Panthers for the Knights of Pythias trophy, Thursday, December 10, at New Palace Casino, instead of the Wicconus basketball team, as was scheduled. With the Imperial's line-up will be the famous Younger Brothers of Lincoln University. They are two of the best players in the country, and Capt. Norman Good is sure they will carry the trophy back to Orange. But they have to reckon Capt. Laline of Creston Panthers who has strengthened his team. In the Salem Mine-up will be Holmes of Hampton University, who is considered the heat center in the country. This is his first appearance with the Salem-Crescens. With these crack players added to two already strong teams, the contest should be fast and interesting. The trophy offered by Langton Court, No 5, of P. is worthy to grace the archives of any organization. Jenkins Wins Title Second Time. The annual cross-country run of the Public Schools Athletic League, held Saturday, December 5, over the 2.7 miles course of the Jamaica High School in Queenena County, was won by young Frank Jenkins, the Negro champion of last year, who is a member of the High School in Good condition. The course was covered twice. Ninety-eight runners competed the largest ever to start, and on the first time round Jenkins was second by five yards. However, when Jenkins let himself out he went to the lead and held the ball behind him by 125 yards. This is Jenkins' second successive year as winner of the school cross-country championship. Princeton Y. M. C. A. Wine at Football, On Saturday, December 5, the Princeton, N. J., Y. M. C. A. football team played one of the hardest games against Somerville, N. J. at Princeton. Paul Robeson starred for Somerville, while Howard Garreffson, Peter Fletcher and Fred Wycoff starred for the Y. M. C. A. During the first scrimmage of the game Paul Robeson of Somerville in a matchout forward passed 35 yards, which netted his team a 30-yard gain. This pass resulted in a touchdown for Somerville during the first three minutes of play. The Y. M. C. A. braced up and when the game was over the score was, Y. M. C. 18: Somerville. 6. Neither slide kicked in. The line-up was as follows: Princeton Y. M. C. A.-Fried Wycoff, left end; John Fletcher, left tackle; George Hummings, left guard; Luther Ellis, conch; Travis Ellis, right guard; Clifford Furman, right guard; Clarence Nickens, right end.

Richard Althea Toldon, pastor of First Emmanuel Church, concludes to deliver, first-hand illuminating ideas to the people, not only those who hear him are impressed and helped, but extracts from his sermons in The Age cause out-of-town readers, both lay and clergy, to daily seek his counsel and advice on matters pertaining to life. Sunday, November 29th, he said the Immunale always used the great physical necessities of man as symbols of their true spiritual need. The two words that have in them both agony and happiness, hunger and nourishment, are the state of the soul to God. Water is a real thing in teaching, among men; in fact in the world it is one of the most potent agencies in working meteorological and geological changes on the earth's surface; it is in constant action and all that we physically see is constituted with about two-thirds of its pigment. It is most dulferful solvent, which it can get together and adapt itself to the three universal physical states, liquid, solid and gaseous, makes it the most widely distributed substance in nature, as understood by us rain water, spring water and especially sea water, with its saline constituents, are and will be even of great importance as to the use of this agent can only dimly illustrate the Holy Spirit's activity in the heaven, in the earth and in the soul of man. The Immunuel, who is the source of this spirit, stood and cried, saying "If any man thirstlest him come unto me and drink, he that beloows, in me he shall flow rivers of living water." Let men and things come and yield themselves to him and God. Himself will live in them. His presence will be manifested in their person, thought and action. The cravings of the soul are the longing desire for true fellowship and pure intercourse, the Immunuel claims is found in Himself. He declares that contact with Him according to His will makes us conscious of eternal verities and our whole nature, and that only faith but experience has proven that the Immunuel is the all-sufficient for us. He does ill adequately all the thirsty who believe in Him. His invitation is to men of any race, color, creed or class, and both sex, and it is a potent candy offered freely to all who are rewarded of their state, or condition. His presence within us, the Holy Spirit, go out from us invigorating and strengthening the cord of love, creating peace, and confirming good will among men, is the eternal (not conferred upon us when we humble and obeyed) cord of love, we to allow His love, in the holy spirit to color and enrich our thoughts, our desires, our purposes, and our actions; we must drink into our bodies our minds, our souls, the life and the spirit of the immamuel, so that there might flow out from us into this world the blood of Jesus, the blood of Drink.

Royall, 21 West 134th street, is chairman of a non-partisan committee which is working for the purpose of securing a redistricting of the 21st Assembly District, County of New York. There is neither color line or partisanship in the movement, and Mr. Royall has issued some arguments in the matter which are sound and logical. The following is a statement from Mr. Royall: If we would maintain for this community the cardinal principle of democracy, "Government by the consent of the governed," if we wish voice for this territory or ever hope to better the social, moral, industrial and political condition of this locality, we should begin at once a serious, forebear, non-partisan movement to bring about redistricting of the 21st Assembly District outlined by the West Harlein District Committee. If the westerly line of the district be housed by St. Nicholas avenue, it would cut off that physical, "Inconvenient part known as "The Hill," whose population is made up of a class of people entirely different in both location and life, and who have little or no civil and industrial interests in common with the people dwelling within "The Yale." If the southern boundary is begun, as proposed, at 130th street and St. Nicholas avenue, running east to Harlem river and following the river to West Harlem, to West 145th street, and then west on 145th street to St. Nicholas avenue, we would not only have a district of beautiful symmetry, but one of compactness and proper adjustment, to fulfill the distressing lack of direct, local representation for a community whose own difficulties differed from the people of "The Hill" and those south of 130th street. The business men, living within "The Vale" for the most part, have either a local business or an interest, of some kind within the radius outlined by the District, and would, therefore, render the community a more ready and efficient service as a public official. The evils then that, sap our lives, which at present receive but scant attention, could be rooted out; and Harleen would rise to her feet, like a Titan, and solve for every citizen as well as for the "Harlem Board of Trade" and "The Property Owners' Association" the difficult problem—which has sorely vexed us all. The last two named organizations should strongly, support a movement, and no doubt they will. On the north lies the great 23rd Assembly District, the largest, possibly, in the world; and the legislature will certainly be called upon to divide this large area of the 23rd Assembly District, as its population now outnumbers 10000; and there should come a time when the legislature minded people to readily conceit its southern end to the 21st Assembly District, and it is believed she will do so. With assurances from many of the senators, assemblymen and representative men of all parties, that such a district is highly desirable. It is left now on or for the Republics, and the senators and representatives make their common weal and urge legislation in a non-partisan manner, and West Harlem District will have direct, local representation. Will you help? Will you write to your State-senator, assemblyman, constitutional delegates and urge every man you know with influence to help? This is what you owe to this community, and relieve its economic dependence, and at the same time secure for its social, political and industrial justice.
