Sam McCall, by Intensive Farming Leads All His Wealthy Neighbors WAS TENART OF OWNER Purchased 163 Acres of Poor Land, the Best Good for only One-third Bale of Cotton to Acre. USES ORGANIC FERTILIZER Has Perfected McCall Strain' Cotton, and Neighbors Buy all His Surplus Seed— Raised 320 Bushel Corn on Two Acres Two Crops Yearly Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES WASHINGTON D. Dec. 23.—The possibilities of immediate profit and permanent grain from the practice of diversified farming in the South are well illustrated by the experience of Sam McCall, an ex-slave, 75 years of age, who conducts a farm in Alabama. He was recently discovered by specialists of the Department of Agriculture. Although wholly uneducated, without capital, and doing all his own work, this man has succeeded in producing ten times as much cotton and grain upon his little patch of cultivated ground as his wealthier neighbors produce on better land. When he gained his freedom McCall determined to become a landowner. He started as a tenant upon the plantation of his former owner, and by working hard and saving money, he acquired the very poor land, of a sort that had been abandoned by many farmers. Only a small portion of it was tillable at all. For fifteen years McCall worked all of the land upon his farm that it was possible to cultivate, raising only cotton and corn, and getting very small crops. Intensive Farming on Two Acres. He then arrived at the conclusion that intensive farming of a small area would pay him better, and selected two acres of the best land for the experiment. This land was the best on his place, and was then producing one-third of a bale of cotton to the acre McCall enriched his land by plowing under leaf mold from adjacent woodlands, cornstalks, weeds and all of the other organic fertilizer that he could obtain. In a few years he was producing seven bales of cotton annually upon his two acres, which had formerly never produced one bale between them. He then began the study of seed selection, and further increased his yield in that way. He also perfected a special strain of cotton, which is locally known as the McCall strain, and all of his surplus seed is in large demand among the neighboring farmers. During the last few years McCall has heard much of the system of diversified farming, and has practiced it upon the soil in order to maintain the fertility. He used a rotation of corn, oats and cotton, and in one year he produced 320 bushels of corn upon his two acres, raising two crops in the long southern growing season. This man has had only the crudest equipment, he has done all of his work with the aid of one horse, and he has used no commercial fertilizer except a little cottonseed meat. His little patch is considered a shining example of what southern farms might be if they were scientifically managed. INSURGENT FIGHT IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS Special to THE NEW YORK HERALD WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23. —The Democratic frenzy for office has bred a condition of insurgency in Administrative circles. A definite and well-developed attack against the President is impending because he has ignored the recommendations of certain. Senators and Representatives as to particular appointments which he has made. Most of them are reccess appointments, some of them having been rejected at the last session. Senator O'Gorman of New York became an insurgent last week in the matter of the appointment of J. D. Lynn to be United States District Attorney for the western district of New York, and now comes Senator Reed, who is holding up the confirmation of E. G. Bland, appointed by President Wilson to be United States Marshal for the western district of Missouri, and Senator Martine, who objects to the appointment of George Hampton as internal revenue collector in New Jersey. In fact, the patronage outbreak has assumed such proportions that it menaces the legislative program of the administration. Senators' and Representatives in their present mood are as likely to defy the President's legislative program as they have his patronage list. Democrats in both houses have declared openly, that they do not like some of the propositions laid down by the President and that they are not going to vote for them. President Will Stand by Appointments Friends of the President reiterated today that he would stand back of all the contested appointments.

Senator Stone of Missouri had a long conference with the President and it was reported that efforts, were being made by the President's friends in the Senate to smooth over the differences to safeguard the legislative program. House insurgency is expected to develop with a meeting of the Banking and Currency Committee, at which Representative Bulkley of Ohio will demand a report of the Hollis-Bulkley rural credit bill. This was sidetracked last session by Chairman Glass, representing the administration, who opposed the Government aid features of the measure. The rebellion of the Democrats is attributed to a great extent to the fact that the mad rush for the pie counter is about over and most of the offices which the incoming legislators contemplated with hungry eyes have been dolled out. There is not much more to be obtained. What is left is worth fighting for. COLORED SCHOOLS IN BAD CONDITION IN D.C.

NO MORE PAYMENTS ON FREEDMEN'S BANK FUND Special to The New York Arg WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23.—Unless Congress comes to the relief of the former depositors of the defunct Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company, the five disbursements declared, aggregating 62 per cent of the indebtedness to depositors, will be the last-cent distributed to them. The controller of the currency, who has acted, ex-officio, as commissioner of the defunct institution to settle its accounts, has made his report to Congress, stating that there is $1,735.07 cash on hand, with the prospect of but trilling additions. Expenses will eat up this small balance. Congress voted the controller, as commissioner, ex-officio, the sum of $1,009 a year salary for settling the accounts. This the commissioner has declined to pay himself, and in his report he notes that he has served without compensation. When the bank failed in 1874 there were 61,131 depositors to whom was due the sum of $2,939,925.22. The total payments to date have been $1,732,934.30.

Special to The New York Age. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23.—The situation as concerns the Negro schools of the District is receiving considerable attention at this time, but it is extremely difficult for the conservative, unbased observer to find anything specific on which to base opinion. The general talk and there is a great deal of it, implies a condition of general dissatisfaction among the teachers. As to where the fault lies, who knows? The Normal School seems to be the centre of a whirlwind of dissatisfaction That Miss Moten, the principal, wants to make certain changes in the teaching force is charged, and it is said that the Board will not allow her to do so. However, that may be, there is a general feeling among many of her opponents that her day of usefulness is passed and that she is physically and temperamentally unequal to the position. Roscoe C. Bruce has a number of friends who are loyal and true and who support him without reservation. But some of his friends feel that he would strengthen his own cause by developing more strength of character and executive ability. It is charged that his endeavor to satisfy everybody to develop weakness and unreliability. If the truth were told once in a while, the might might get better connection a committee of citizen headed by Daniel Murray of the Library of Congress is looking about for a man to recommend to succeed Mr. Bruce as assistant superintendent.

TENANTS MOVE AND STOP SEGREGATION CASES Special to THE NEW YORK-AGE. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 23.—With the moving of a Jewish shopkeeper from the 1900 block of Etting street and of May Hill from 6 So. Pine street, it is feared that it will be no occasion in the near future for the testing of the segregation law. The Etting street property is owned by the Rev W. A. C. Hughes of Washington, and it was planned by leading citizens to institute mandamus proceedings in the United States Court, which tended to bring the question of property rights to an issue. Mary Lilly lived in a block which contained only two houses, the other being occupied by a white family. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, following her arrest for violation of the law, induced her to remain here, and engaged W. Ashbie Hawkins as her counsel. According to her story, those backing her agreed to pay her the money she was fairly settled. She got back in her wartime notices to wacate her sent her. She has been paid the amount promised since her removal to 227 No. Pine street, however. Leading spirits in the local branch of the association declare that they agreed to pay her rent until she had lived in the house long enough to make the State push the case, and that the State for reasons of its own may not push the case for months, thus avoiding a chance of having the law tended. It is most likely that the case against the woman will be abandoned by the State, as many whites fear that the segregation law is invalid.

Second Lieutenant, 10th Cavalry. Adjutant, WHITE MEN COULD NOT Special to The New York Age JACKSONVILLE FILM, Dec. 22. A striking contrast in educational qualifications was shown in a little incident staged in the office of United States Marshal J. C. Brown, while grand jury witnesses were being entered for appearance. Several white men among those siphoned for a case in Bradford county appeared to register, and only one of the group was able to write his name. The "educated" one made such a poor signature that it was almost undecipherable. Fifteen minutes later five Negroes from the vicinity of Fernandina appeared to register for testimony on another case. Not only could all read and write exceedingly, well, but the signatures of the five, who were principally of the laboring class, were each beautifully written. Deputy Marshall D. P. Myerson, who booked the names, was struck by the contrast. Apparently the white men had bad faith as good opportunities to learn and fell far below the Negroes in intellectual possibilities.

Milles Is Optimistic as to Republican Success Logical Deduction, not a Prophecy, based on Careful Study of the Situation-Will Control Senate and House. EIGHT SENATORS ARE SURE Five Others Are Probable—Only Nine and Vice-President Needed for Working Control—Issue Will Be the Turff and Democratic Legislation. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican National Committee, believes that the Republicans will win back into power in 1916 by the election of a Republican President and a Republican House, and in a clearer declaration gives his reasons for that belief. It is based not on sentiment nor hopes, but is the result, he says, of a careful study of the situation and of talks with Republican leaders from all parts of the country. Mr. Hilles showed just how he expect the Senate would be turned over to the Republican party in the election of 1916. As a result of the election this year the Senate stands 55 Democrats, 40 Republicans and 1 Progressive. A gain of nine seats and the election of a Vice-President would give the Republicans a working majority, the national chairman figures. These, are the States in which he believes the election of a Republican Senator in 1916 is practically certain. New York, Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, West Virginia and Washington. One more will come from Maryland, Nebraska, Arizona, Missouri or Tennessee, according to his calculations. Tariff Legislation the Issue. Discussing his reasons for predicting the election of a Republican, President in 1910, Chairman Hillels said that the issues would be the tariff and the legislation enacted by the Democratic Congress. This is what Chairman Hillels said in his analysis of the situation looking forward to 1916: "I will a Republican President he elected, but the party will gain control of both Senate and House. It requires no gift of prophecy to assert this; it is a logical deduction from the recent election. "The issue in 1914 was the tariff, and every State where the effect of the Underwood bill, had time to be felt went Republican. Every great manufacturing State and every great labor center repudiated the Democratic party and voiced condemnation of its record since it came into full control of the Government. The disastrous effect of the new tariff has not yet been fully felt in the great agricultural States of the West, but even there the reaction against Democracy was unmistakable. Democracy is not confined to diatribes; democracy is indicated "clearly" in the last election that at understood that its own prosperity is the inextricably bound up with the prosperity of business and that unemployment and reduced wages inevitably follow Democratic tariff tinkering. Labor and Business in Common Cause. "Labor and business will unite in a common cause in 1916, the protection of their own interests, and will join hands in returning the Republican party to power. The Wilton administration has been essentially an anti-business administration, modifying its policy only where legislation might include the South in its adverse influence. Its attitude has not been merely one of distrust of business, but of active hostility and antagonism. "There is no doubt of the election of a Republican-President and Republican House in 1916. Nor is there any doubt in my mind that we shall elect a Republican Senate. Because the Democrats increased their majority in the Senate the last 'action they are required to believe in' was to house in it, from the wreck which they foresee/ er liegible is founded on hope and not act." "Is it, are any doubt that New York will fail, a Republican to succeed Mr. O'Golian? The result of the last election shows clearly that a Republican Senator is gave to succeed Johnson. Provisions of the Underwood tariff bill, he will be held accountable by his State for the mischief if has made. New Jersey's Emphatic Vote. "New Jersey returned to the Republican column in 'emphatic fashion in November, and no one will" seriously contend that Mr. Martine will succeed himself or be supervised by a Democrat.

Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. 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.

At the recent meeting of the American Public Health Association held at Jacksonville. Fla., one session was devoted to the discussion of the Negro health problems in cities. Dr. BRUNNER, health officer of Savannah, spoke on this subject and, among other things, said: "Is the Negro receiving a square deal? Let this commission investigate the house in which he lives. Why, in his race, is tuberculosis increasing? Why does he furnish his enormous quota to the chain gang and the penitentiary? Investigate the industrial insurance companies, the money leaders, the instalment furniture dealers, and, finally, the matter of the surplus population, which is a most potent factor in producing that class of persons which is dangerous to any community and must contaminate its health and prosperity. Better the creation of such a commission, at least for this city and section, than the theoretical gatherings at tuberculosis conventions and immigration congresses. The Negro is with you for all time, and it is up to the white people to prevent him from becoming a criminal and to guard him against tuberculosis and the like. If he is tainted with disease you will suffer. If he develops criminal tendencies you will be affected. You cannot observe these things without going where he lives in colonies in this city. Investigate them, and you will soon learn that if he desires to improve his sanitary conditions he could not do it. Observe the house he must live in in the food that he must eat and learn of all his environments." While we do not endorse every single sentiment expressed by Dr. BRUNNER, yet we see that what he says points to a sander and more satisfactory way of approaching the race problem than any that has yet been generally tried. If the south can ever make up its mind to approach the problem in the spirit indicated in Dr. BRUNNER's remarks, the whole difficulty will be already half over. BUSINESS REVERSES IN THE SOUTH A good many of our business concerns, especially in the Southern States, conducted by members of our race are having a pretty hard time just now. The same is true, in a more or less degree, of business concerns in all parts, of the country. Mississippi especially seems to be struck pretty hard. The only man who does not have business reverses, however, is the man who never has any business at all. Every time a man fails in business, or has a business setback, he gets an experience, that is often of more value to him than money. We should not become discouraged because of business reverses, but use these reverses as a stepping-stone to bring about more permanent and enduring business enterprises. In his selection of Gen. Wortherson for Commissioner of Public Works Governor-elect WHITMAN clearly indicates what class of men he intends to appoint to office. The mere political spoilsman need not expect anything during the next gubernatorial administration. THE HARLEM GOLD MINE. For centuries the natives in South Africa literally slept over a gold mine. Around the Kimberly region it is likely that many a native stubbed his toe against a diamond and kicked it out of the way. The gold and diamonds were useless to them not only because they, probably, did not know that these precious stores were right under their feet, but because they did not know how to make use of their value. Now, it might sound startling to say that there are colored men and women sleeping over a gold mine in Harlem, stubbing their toes against diamonds and kicking them out of the way; nevertheless it is true. There live in Harlem within a radius of a mile more than 50,000 colored people; this makes that section of the city the most unique Negro settlement in the country. It is, in fact, a city in itself. There are cities in the South with a total-population of less than 50,000 where Negroes have built up successful establishments and do a business of thousands of dollars. If this can be done among a colored population scattered around the fringe of a Southern city, what are the limits to the possibilities in Harlem? Every nationality is making money out of Negroes in Harlem—except Negroes. The few Negroes who are doing business only emphasize the statement. Is there any good reason, is there any good excuse for this? Of course, the first excuse to be offered will be that the race will not patronize Negro business enterprises. There may be a slight, disinclination among some classes and in some localities, which, however, can be overcome; but, generally speaking, this charge is not true. The race will and does patronize Negro business enterprises conducted on a business basis. Nine out of every ten colored men that fail in business blame their failure on the race. That is not fair. If the race was loyal to the last penny some of these men would be bound to fail anyhow. A certain percentage of white merchants fail every year. But the truth is, most of those who fail do so because they do not conduct business on a business basis. When a colored man goes into business the principal thing he should remember is that a Negro is a human being first and a Negro afterwards; that is, his human nature lies deeper than his color. So a Negro, no more than anybody else, is going to buy from a man unless that man's stock is as good, his prices as cheap and his service as attentive as are those of his competitors; and it is foolish to expect him to do it, because it is contrary to human nature. Through race pride and enthusiasm he may do it once or twice or three times, but he won't keep it up. Mere race pride is no sound basis on which to do business. Colored men who go into business must study it not only from the race's point of view, but from the business man's point of view. They must study the science of business management—and it is now a science, with books and magazines devoted to its study. They must learn the difference between profit and loss. They must learn how to figure on $ \frac{1}{2} $ of a cent. They must learn the advantages of advertising. These are the only methods by which they can compete in the modern business world, and the only solid foundation on which to build a business. One of the common causes for business failure among colored men is overshooting the mark; that is, trying to create a demand rather than trying, to supply one. Creating a demand generally requires unlimited capital. Take for example the average Southern city. Some colored man will conceive the laudable ambition of opening an up-to-date restaurant where respectable people of his race can get a first class meal. He invests his capital and, generally, he fails. Why? Because in the average Southern city the people who would eat that sort of a meal eat at home. If the same man will open a lunch-room and furnish fried fish and bread, coffee and other ready cooked dishes at prices ranging from 5 to 15 cents, the large laboring and floating colored population of the average Southern city will make him rich. Another cause of failure is, bleeding the business. Take again for example the average Southern city: A colored man opens a family grocery on one corner and a Syrian opens the same sort of a store on the opposite corner. Now in the first place, the colored man has no time to loaf, his competitor is a merchant by heredity; the Syrian's ancestors were trading on the Mediterranean before the Pyramids were built. Suppose they are both successful and reach a business of $5,000 a year. How does the Syrian manage? Why just the same as he did when his profits were only $500 a year. He and his family still live in the back of the store; they keep the place open all day and half the night; his wife stands, watch for him while he sleeps; next to nothing spent for food or clothes; at the end of ten years he is rich. Do we need to draw the other picture? Hardly. A fine house, horse and buggy—no, an automobile, good clothes, social entertaining and an occasional trip North—ending, most likely, in failure. We do not write this to blame the colored man who has thus failed. He made the money and he wanted a good time in preference to a good business, and he got it: But we do object to the blame being saddled on the race. But let us get back to the gold mine in Harlem. There are great opportunities in that section for colored men with some capital and intelligence. There are opportunities for combinations of colored men of small capital, if they also have intelligence. But we have already pointed out, these opportunities will not yield if they are gone after in a haphazard way. The field should be carefully studied. A business should be decided upon that one already knows or feels that he or she may become adapted to. You cannot carry on any business unless you yourself know the business or can easily and quickly learn it. To pay somebody else for knowing how to run your business is always disastrous. Observe the lines of business that are already successful in Harlem. Observe the grades of goods that are carried. This is important. For instance, it would be a waste of capital to try to sell goods in Harlem that are usually bought on Fifth Avenue. The secret is to learn to cater to the trade as well, if not better than your competitors. But catering to the existing trade of a locality does not mean that one should not use his best judgment and the judgment of experienced friends in deciding upon some new line of business that might prove successful. The main point is, business to-day is a science which must be studied. Studied from every angle. From the angle of the person in business, from the angle of the people to be served, from the angle of the locality, the market, the times, etc. Harlem offers the opportunities. One hundred colored men and women can establish successful business enterprises there if they will only go at it in a whole-hearted and intelligent way. Don't sleep over a gold mine! Don't stub your toe against a diamond and kick it out of the way! SHE FILLS A MAN'S JOB. Dr. Katharine B. Davis, Commissioner of Correction, appeared before the State Board of Charities last week to answer charges made by Dr. Rudolph F. Diedling, State Commissioner of Prisons, and others in regard to the administration of the Bedford Reformatory for women, of which Dr. Davis was formerly superintendent. One of the charges brought against Dr. Davis was the grouping of white and colored girls together. To this charge she replied as follows: "I assume responsibility for the grouping together of white and colored girls. I contended that it was proper in a public institution of this kind, and in accordance with the best-reformatory methods, to classify the colored like the white girls, in groups according to age, character, and mental and educational qualifications. "This rule has accomplished reforms, and has been followed successfully since I was first connected with the institution, thirteen years ago. It is the only fair rule to follow. But, anyway, I come of good New England Abolition stock, and my theory and practice are dictated by principle." There is no need to make one word of comment on that speech. Anything added to it would be only superfluous. We simply lift our hat respectfully to Katharine B. Davis and say, "You fill a man's job, and do it like a man." PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE NEGRO The following despatch of a few days ago from Washington is very interesting. It should be read very carefully; perhaps, twice over: Washington, Dec. 15.—Outlining his attitude toward the Negro, President Wilson to-day told the University Commission on Southern Race Questions, made up of representatives of eleven Southern colleges, that "our object is to know the needs of the Negro and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible for his good and our good." Dr. C. H. Brough of the University of Arkansas, chairman of the commission, told the President the commission was organized to make an impartial study of the race question from the standpoint of the Negro's economic, hygiene, civic and moral betterment. "There isn't any question, it seems to me," the President said, "into which more candoir needs to be put, or more thorough human feeling, than this. I know myself, as a Southern man, how sincerely the heart of tig South desires the good of the Negro and the advancement of his race of all sound and sensible lines, and everything that can be done in that direction of the highest value. It is a matter of common understanding. "There is a charming story, told about Charles Lamb. The conversation in his little circle turned upon some men who were not present, and Lamb, who, you know, stuttered, said, 'I hate that fellow.' His friend said, 'Charles, I didn't know you knew him.' Lamb said, 'I don't; I can't hate a fellow I know.'" "I think that is a very profound human fact. You cannot hate a man you know. And our object is to know the needs of the Negro." At the opening session of the commission Dr. J. H. Dillard of the University of Virginia said he was satisfied there was a growing sentiment among the white and Negro leaders in the South in favor of the education of the latter race. In his annual report Dr. Brough referred to segregation as "a moot question," which formed the only cloud on the horizon at this time. "Segregation in the departments of the public service, railway and street cars, and even in cities, may be exceedingly just," he said, "but the idea of farm segregation as a means of giving the white man a better chance in agricultural and industrial competition with the Negro seems a traversity upon Anglo-Saxon superiority and an injustice to the Negro." The constructive work before the commission Dr. Brough said to be: "The socializing and rationalizing of the impulses of an inferior race by imposing upon them the importance of preserving the racial integrity of both races, securing industrial education and attaining the goal of economic equality of opportunity." We believe the President is sincere in making this statement, and that it is in no way designed to cover up the Wilson-Trotter incident of a few weeks ago. We believe he means what he says, but let us go over what he says and see what it is that he means. We cannot help but see that each statement he makes which appears to be dictated by friendliness toward us has a prejudicial limitation hitched on to it. The President says: "Our object is to know the Negro and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible—". Now if he had stopped just there it would have been a splendid declaration, but he adds, "for his good and our good." As he publicly announced a few weeks ago that he considered segregation in the government service good for the Negro, we naturally look with suspicion upon the help he is willing to give us "for our good." Again, he says, "I know myself, as a Southern man how sincerely the heart of the South desires the good of the Negro and the advancement of his race—" If he had gone no further his words would have been those of a big-hearted, broad-minded humanitarian, but he adds, "on all sound and sensible lines." Now we cannot give Mr. Wilson or the South any warm response to their sincere heart desires until we know what they mean by "sound and sensible lines." But we do know what is meant by "sound and sensible lines" and "for our good." They mean simply "We like the Negro—in a Negro's place. We are for the advancement of the Negro—up to a certain point or in a certain direction." We have heard protestations of that kind of friendship for years, and we say frankly we don't want it. We are thankful for help that aids us in developing ourselves into the full stature of American citizenship, but what we need more than help is a fair chance. The progress we have already made has been accomplished almost entirely in the face of prejudice, opposition and oppression. If Mr. Wilson, if the South, if the country is sincere, give us a fair chance and you won't need to worry about our advancement. We cannot close this comment without paying some attention to the reported remarks of Dr. Brough, chairman of the commission. What manner of help can we expect from a man who admits that "Segregation in the departments of the public service, railways and street cars, and even in cities, may be exceedingly just?" Mark you he does not say it might be expedient or it may be necessary; he makes it "just," and for full measure he throws in "exceedingly." The Commission seems to hold us in about the same regard that a kind-hearted, careful farmer holds his horses and cows, in seeing that they are well stabled, well fed and kept healthy, so that they may do more work and give more milk. And yet Dr. Brough's soul appears to be susceptible to some rays of truth, in that he says, "But the idea of farm segregation as a means of giving the white man a better chance in agricultural and industrial competition with the Negro seems a travesty upon Anglo-Saxon superiority and an injustice to the Negro." As to Dr. Brough's last remark; it sounds like an ironical joke to hear a Southern white man of more than fifty years of age—we judge he must be—speak of "imposing upon an inferior race the importance of preserving the racial integrity of both races." THE NEW RELATIONSHIP Perhaps the most cherished relic of slavery is the memory of the "Old Black Mammy." She typified a relationship between the races which was the only charm of slavery days. Poets have sung of her fidelity and historians have chronicled her self-sacrificing guardianship over the health and happiness of those in "de big house." "Mammy" was mother to the white children and confidante of the grown-ups. The young mistress, behind closed doors, whispered into "Mammy's" cars her first love secrets and the story of With the passing of slavery, the white people of the South awoke to find themselves in a new rela- tionship with "Mammy's" children. At first they rebelled against the newness of the thing but contented themselves by believing that Negroes would never match arms with them in those mental and material assets which spell success and demand respect. But "Mammy's" children made astonishing and unexpected progress in intelligence, culture and the accumulation of wealth. Then, the white people sulked because somehow they could not address this "New Negro" as "Uncle Ned," "Aunt Liza" or just plain "Joe" and "Bill," so they said 'let 'em alone. We will have nothing to do with this New Negro.' Many are still sulking by the wayside as the procession of prosperity passes by, while others have found that in this new relationship between the races, there are new possibilities for the industrial and material development of the South—they have discovered that "Mammy" was but a child and that this "New Negro" is growing into well-rounded, sturdy and red-blooded American manhood. The period of sulking represented the era of misunderstanding and throughout this era, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the one man with the vision of a prophet, kept on urging and pleading with the Negro to get a practical education, a foothold in the soil and a financial standing in the community. At the same time he kept telling the white people to give us a little time. The wisdom of Dr. Washington has been vindicated for we stand to-day almost at the threshold of a new era—the era of understanding. Two years ago the Southern Sociological Congress met in Atlanta, Ga. This congress is composed of white and colored delegates coming together each year, among other things, for "the solving of the race question in a spirit of helpfulness to the Negro, and of equal justice to both races." About a month ago Mr. V. H. Tulane, cashier of the Montgomery branch of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, and Mr. J. C. Diffey, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, met with the State Bankers Association in the capitol at Montgomery, Ala. A more recent example showing how the white people are beginning to find a new and deeper meaning in this new relationship is the meeting of the National Woman's Christian TemperanceUnion which convened in Atlanta during the month of November. Mrs. Eliza E. Peterson, National Superintendent of W. C. T. U. work among the colored people, who was delegate to this convention, says. "It was delightful to see our women from North, South, East and West, white and colored, of the 'white ribbon army' of the nation exhibit keenest interest in the well-being of all and all seemed to send out only thoughts of love and unhilt." "Our white W. C T. U. women in every Southern State were delighted with the rapid progress the colored women are making in organization, and particularly the success we have made with the College Young People's Branches of Texas, capturing first prize in the national above every other Young People's Branch, white or colored. "We were cheered very much for our showing and we only hope to do more this coming year than ever, for in the great fight against homes, we women of the W., C. T. U., colored and white, have no time for little things. We must keep our guns' steadily pointed toward the enemy and aim to do great things for God in this cause." It appears from the opinion expressed by the Supreme Court on the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" case that we have in Justice Hughes a fearless and impartial judge. It doesn't seem exactly right to see Justice Holmes of Massachusetts lined up with those Justices who do not appear inclined to call a halt upon giving-constitutional authority to "Jim Crow" laws. WHAT·THE PEOPLE·SAY DR. RANSOM AND THE NEW YORK NEGRO. To the Editor of The Age. The Age of December in contain that address delivered by Dr. R.C. Runsaw in which one recognizes a note of despair concerning the future abilities of the Southern Negro in particular and the Northern Negro in general but, sir, has it not occurred to the esteemed doctor, that if the Negro was educated but not in education, would and Treason but the French, reflect the conditions of their employment. With the spread of education, wealth and culture in the North and East. different type has been evolved! 'At the present day, surveying conditions and tendencies, we see that the man who now leads us, we know, is the man this now environment having; these desirable and superior attachments, it is at once clear that with this greater personal freedom, the conception of a Moses (as br. Ramses) of the land, we have the type of man in which power and influence is the "dominant" character. Wealth, education giving this liberty, knowledge and power. New York and Northern Negroes who are wealthy and educated have taken the lead in the effort to leadership. They are satisfied, "Why should I bother about leading those other 'Negroes (thus solicitizes the Northern Negro) when I have my place in the sun?" There are Negroes in the North who are doing work of importance in Fort, which, if it was generally known, might change the attitude of some people. Then, again, how many of these Negroes of the North can claim a period of three generations as Northerners? To be regretted if our Southern friends take the esteemed doctor's advice and remain from New York, but on second thought that appears as remote as the efforts to stop water from running down hill. One is rudely shocked to hear that the Indians and flower of the race in Oklahoma shows much culture, 0, horrible future. To divine the home of the futuro Negro musical embryos who will develop and do for Negro music what Bach, Beethoven and Brahms have done for Caucasian music is an achievement that takes a great loud off the minds of people who have been valyly trying to find those mysterious geniuses. To those Negroes who know the mothers of the Northern Negro is working just as hard as her Southern sister. Our editorial on the race situation in Harlem is sound, opportune advice, I recall reading of that fracuses in the "World," Going out a little later I saw not the least sign of the terrible molee. It seems rather unfortunate that Mr. Johnson of Itchna should be given constructive criticism of Mr. Trott's art. To the Editor of The Age: In your issue 'we read where Dr. Ransom' said: 'The Oklahoma Negroes are brave; (its not bravery by gull and cheek) but rough. Many of the best Negroes in the country have nothing is thought of it. The Texas Negro is the coming Negro in the country." The Oklahoma Negro is really the Texas Negro. Ibrazto battles are formed into Oklahoma. Were it not for theonderstanding of the Negro, it is doubtful whether the Jim Crow law would have ever come about, surely not as early as it did. Church stealing and foolish denominational fights and low morals are for the most part traceable to the Oklahoma Negro. Remember, there are representative Texas Negroes here, representative in very respect; but for culture, sound business principles and what little honesty and courageous manhood and other found morals there are here, Georgia and Alabama must have the credit. W. HALWICK DAYIS, Pastor A, M. E. Church, Beggs, Okla. PRESIDENT AND NEIGHBOR (Edit: Mr. World.) It is not often the President Wilson can be accused of lack of shererity, but what shall be said of his remark relative to the Negroes of the South that "there isn't any question, it seems to me, into which more cander needs to be put or more thorough human beings need to be put." Southern man, how truly the heart of the South desires the good of the Negro and the advancement of his race on all sound and sensible lines; it is a matter of common understandance. These words were spoken to the University Commission on Southern Race Questions, made up of representatives of eleven Southern colleges. They might have been uttered fifty years ago by a Confederate Brigadier. They do not very much from the son of a man expressed in the years before the war in the most extreme advocate of slavery. Negroes are citizens of the United States, entitled to all the rights which Mr Wilson as President is sworn to protect. To what other section of our population, three or small, would he be allowed to speak, would it be imaginable that any element of our people could be subjected to the limitations placed upon the blacks, is it conceivable that the President would speak thus of their possible advancement on "sound and sound." Mr Wilson chanced to be born in Virginia, but he is not President because he is a Southern man, and the World ought not to be forced to acquaint him with the fact. MR. WILSON AND THE NEGRO. [Editorial: The New York Globe.] President Wilson yesterday in expressing to the University Commission on the Occupations his interest in its work said that he is to know the needs of the Negro and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible for his good and our good. He added, "There isn't any occasion have complained to the President, the race discrimination practiced in the department of the Federal Government of Washington. Only recently a delegation of colored men called at the White House to present their grievances, and when a spokesman, carried away by his order, was reprimanded most severely rebuked him for his lies, the incident, unimportant perhaps in its bearing on the general question, nevertheless is indicative of the bitterness of the feeling engendered by the treatment of the Negro at the hands of the present administration. The Negro is supposed to be the capital of the white man before the law. His rights should be respected, above all, by the federal government. And as head of the federal government President Wilson, as far as his power, should compel this respect, which, unfortunately, is no lack of resistance. He cannot better show his "through human good feet" toward the Negro than by putting an end to the present Jim-Crowd in Washington. I wanted to Paris because I read in the daily papers that Monstère Jean de Reszke had a "short cut" course for poor social students. As I have dedicated my life to my people—a poor people—wanted to get that course for my people because I was no such course and neither be Reszke or any of the other masters that I went to could tell me anything about the characteristics of the voice of the Negro. All the Negroes that they had heard sing sang exactly like other people if they sang correctly. So I was compelled to continue the investigations while I had been making plans to study nationalities. I might different nationalities, observing the racial characteristics in facial, body and tone formation. In London I experimented in the same way. I desired to discover what characterists the Negro possesses, and what he lacks. I continued my observations in teaching children at settlement in Philadelphia and in philadelphia governmented with Negro, Indians, Germans and Jewish children. I found that the Jewish child outsipped the other children because of his great ambition. God Intends Negro Shall Sing. After twenty years of investigation I have discovered that God Almighty meant the egro to be a singer, for he has put the mark in every Negro's age. He gave the egro a mouth with a high roof and large, the hard teeth to hold the tones. He gave him a large nose with big nostrils to take in plenty of fresh air that he might be able to do big things. It is said that Marchessi would not take a nose with a wide arch, but was proof that they would not breathe deeply and deep long breaths are necessary in the great arias. His nose being broad, he has a wide arch to which to hook his tones. If he has a wide bony formation at the top of his nose, he is liable to have a large post cavity in which to "toot" his tones. "When I was a child I read in a little geography, the Negro has coarse ugly features. Some people call the Negro ugly but they do not know what they are talking about. "Vocally" he has a voice that who looks into it, sees every thing there to sing with. Beauty is a matter of opinion. God knew what He was doing when He made the Negro. If He gave him mide cheeks He put plenty of bone underneath to hold out the tongue. The great vocal teachers tell us to sing into our faces as if we were singing into a face-mask. What shall we sing against for resonance, if not bone? Pleth can not give resonance. Every child knows that he cannot dance and get a rebound. The Negro has plenty of resonance cavity and surface. A noted physician who is interested in the Negro claims that the so-called hard skull of the Negro is in his favor and the ability of tone. He says, "Some tones resonate in the head, don't they?" Well, give them that credit, mark, also." Wonderful Chest Bones The Caucasian has an acquilline nose with a narrow bridge at the top, this gives pearrier nostrils and indicates a smaller post nasal cavity. As he has a small post nasal cavity he concentrates and focuses his tone. He has a focus and concentration along all of his lines, including his nose, why he has Trust Companies. When he speaks he focuses in his post nasal cavity. The Negro does not focus in his large post nasal cavity. He has not the habit of focus or concentration. When he gains this in voice culture, he may get the habit along other lines and listen to the tone on the he, too, may have Trust Companies. The Caucasian has plenty of roof to his nose, and the Negro has plenty of floor. The Caucasian then aims to briden his tone and develop the floor foundation, while the Negro must aim to put a roof on his tone—correct it—to tie them together. When the Negro can roof his nose, when the Negro can ring combination a surge of breath and tone between the diaphragm and nose cavities. Training for. Department. When I studied in Paris I not only took voice culture, including personal work and methods, but I studied French Diction, and Stage Deportation. I did not intend to go on the stage but I took this that I might be prepared if some one came to me for it. The teacher tied long draperies around us for practice in walking for dancers are supposed to wear long dresses and many long trains make us look like a cat. We informed the draperies in walking, we were given a stretching exercise. The directions were as follows: Heads up—touch the sky with the toes. Heek on the floor. "Curve in" the small of your back. Now "stretch up and out" from the waist. Do not raise the shoulders or lift the heels. Stretch, stretch, touch the sky with the top of the head, stretch, stretch. Now "strut" in that position? Now now have the pulse of a Somebody. Nowadays an artist soldom gives a deep bow, that is old-fashioned. Instead, she walks out with the lines of her body expressing her belief in herself--her standing as an artist, her hair, her clothing, if she is a first class singer, the hair of a second class singer. If I am a first class singer." An artist will take a singer at her own valuation until she proves different. In crossing this great country every year I have found that this is the police of a "Somebody" in every walk of life. If one is Nobody he walks "any old way" but if he is a Somebody he carries "any old way" but if he is a Somebody he carries at the small of the back, and he touches "touches the sky" or tries to touch If one is Nobody his head hangs, his chest caves in and his lines say, "I am nothing!" His shoulders say, "Don't hang, any of the burdens of life here is not a person who does not need to speak a word, he is read correctly at a glance. The Personality Valuation. If one is a Somebody and has done nothing of which he is ashamed, one may look upwards towards the face of his Maker because he is in His Image and every line will say, "I am a Somebody. I am trying to live like a Somebody, walk like a Somebody, and talk like a Somebody. Those with whom one comes in context will take the Somebody valuation or the Nobody valuation. It is simply a question of which one prefers. I write a demonstration in physical culture and deep breathing as related to staining at a great colored school one morning. Perhaps seven hundred were present. The music teacher afterward wrote, "To are all Somebodies now, done here, our heads and curves." But the biggest somebody is a little girl seven years old named Mary, who persists in holding her chest out so far that the other children laugh. This makes Mary-very ludicrous and she declares, "Dead, have the grammar but she had the Somebody seed in her—(the desire)—and that will conquer every grammar that was ever written. ALABAMA TEACHERS MEET AT HUNTSVILLE Special to Lizg New York Acq HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Dec. 22.—At the call of Director Parks of Normal a goodly number of rural teachers and patrons met in the court house at Hunsville to discuss the educational situation in the rural communities. Twelve districts were represented. An effort was made to get the actual condition in each community with a view to outlining a definite and intelligent plan of rural school and life improvements. With this end in view, Director Parks had each teacher present to give an account of the situation in his district. The patrons were also given a chance to express their views of the situation. Questions were asked as to the general progress of the farmers with their cotton crops and about the interest taken in the school farms The school farm idea seems to be gradually winning its way into the hearts of the people. At Hazel Green the patrons have harvested the cotton crop and have the money in bank. At New Market there was considerable difficulty in getting the older people to see the need of the school farm, but the younger people are enthusiastic. They have raised about 35 among themselves. They have developed their own skills with the view of building a school house as soon as practicable. Several patrons expressed a determination to continue the school farm idea against all odds. Constructive Work the Aim. Triana needs help. The teaching began in a church, poorly heated and without the equipment necessary for ordinary cleanliness. The teacher thoroughly grasps the situation and expresses herself as not thinking of giving up in spite of the hardness of the situation, but her feeble efforts have proved unequal to the task thus far. It is the plan of Director Parks and his helpers to follow up the communities for the purpose of verifying the reports and of providing themselves with a sound basis for future operations. Constructive work is the aim. Messrs Pierce and Hunt of The Daily Times and The Mercury-Banner, respectively, were present and expressed themselves as deeply interested in the problem of rural education for the colored people. Both of them realize the importance of the teacher preparing herself for community leadership, and are willing to help promote the cause. The association is grateful to the officials at the court house for extending it the courtesy of using the room and to the custodian for his efforts to make the room comfortable to the members of the association.

STEWARD, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama colored landlords who had white tenants SIMPLE GOODNESS OF THE NEGRO RACE Joseph Edgar Chamberlain, who conducts "The Office Window" column in The Evening Mail, published the following in his column recently: GOOD MEN. The capacity of the Negro race for producing men and women of simple and radiant goodness is well-known, and better known to none in the world than to the Southern people. The love on the white people of the South, for instance, is as beautiful as a thing as the goodness of the Negroes themselves. It brings "African" in the eyes to know that just before the war Robert E. Lee imperiled his military advancement in order personally to take to the pine woods of Southern Georgia a black body servant who was suffering from consumption, thus to attempt to marry with his own personal care, the man back to life. The Southern Workman for December has an interesting passage written by the Methodist Bishop Camps about a Negro of remarkable goodness—Jerry Evans, a Methodist preacher of Fayetteville, a Methodist apper, "I have known and loved him, and not a Negro in my life, who were probably as pure of heart as Evans, or anybody else. Such were my old friends, Castile Selby and John Bouquet, of Charleston; Will Campbell and Harry Myrick, of Wilmington; Yickie McKinney, of others. I might name these. I might be markable for their goodness. But I use the word in a broader sense for Henry Evans, who was confessedly the father of the Methodist Church, white and black, in Fayetteville, and the best preacher of his time in that quarter, who was a man who have become the greatest curiosity of the town, inasmuch that distinguished visitors hardly felt that they might pass a Sunday in Fayetteville without hearing him preach."

Price $1.25 post paid DHINSON, 154 Nassau St., New York THEATRICAL COMMENT, If you want to see and hear a musical act of real merit, give yourself a Yuletide treat this week and visit the Lafayette Theatre; where the Byron Brothers are heading the bill and arousing great enthusiasm by their artistic rendition of musical numbers. The Byron Brothers claim to have the strongest musical act in vaudeville. If their turn is not the strongest, it is certainly one of the strongest acts of its kind in vaudeville. Every one of the Byron Brothers is a born musician, and in St. Louis, where they were born, the natives of that city are familiar with the "Byron boys" career—how each one was taught to play one or more musical instruments at a tender age. As a result of this early musical education the five Byron Brothers are now able to present a musical program distinguished for its artistic rendition and the variety of selections. Their work appeals to the most critical of music-lovers as well as to the devotees of syncoception. The versatility of the Byron Brothers is shown in their use of different musical instruments, including piano, harp, clarinet, saxophone, cornet, trombone and "Byrondoline," all of which they play with equal skill. Of course, at the Lafayette Theatre the ragtime numbers in the act are greeted with thunderous applause, but the most ambitious number played is the "Quartet from Rigoletto," which reveals the calibre of those talented musicians. The Byron Brothers appear in Mexican costumes of handsome design and use a picturesque stage setting. This act is undeniably one of big-time calibre and would greatly please anywhere. Another act to make a hit at the Lafayette the first half of the week was the Temple Quartet, which effectively puts over several selections. The bass singer, in particular, was quite a favorite with the patrons. 'Blanche Deas, one of Harlem's favorite singers, was well received as usual. The Cubanola Trio won applause, while Helen Mae Hall & Co. and Bandy & Lewis assisted in making the bill an entertaining one. In the St. Louis Argus of recent date Herbert T. Meadows has the following to say about colored acts in general: The theatre going public has been patient with and considerate of the colored vaudeville performers. Critics, as a rule, have been conservative in their writings, although they have allowed praise, wherever the least merit is displayed. Indulgent, because we realized that the style of entertainment was only in its infancy and required a gradual progress of refining before it could reach anywhere in the theatre. Because we not "spared the rod, and spilled the child" After months of fostering and petting, we find only an indolent lot of careless, unappreciative individuals, who have apparently made no progress, unaware of any difficulty this lack of advancement has caused a stagnation that is becoming disgusting and driving vaudeville patrons to exclusive picture houses. The eccentric, corked comedian would be an occasional pleasure, but a continuing concern for the nonsensical stale "jokes" has become monotonous. What has become of art? Has the colored performer buried it, or is he too lazy to study it, and is hiding behind a black mask to fool the public? It looks like the latter. We are tired of hearing a performer "Play the Dozens." We are disgusted with the burlesquing of our good women. We want no more "Killing the Jack" or any other volgar contortions. We can imagine suggestive remarks. We have too much respect for our mothers, sisters and sweethearts to introduce them to this degradation. What we do want is clean comedy, good music, new songs, new jokes, and noyelles of artistic value. These should be molded together into little playlets, with some connection, so that the perform can understated an excuse to be before the footlights. Of course, it takes study and work to supply this demand, and the performer who is not willing to cator to it should get off the stage. We have had a few real acts, during this year, just a few, and the characters are always welcome, because the patrons hunger for real performances, public demands CLASS, let it be in song, dance or comedy. Performers with class are box office assets and always in demand. Editor's Note.—Ament Mr. Meadows' criticism of the colored performer it is impossible for me to agree with him in toto, for his indictment, is too sweeping and generak. That some critics have been disposed to bestow praise on acts when but little merit was displayed is very true; that we are tired of hearing a performer "Play, the Dozens," burlesquing our women and using smutty jokes, is also true. But it is not true that "after months of fostering and petting we had only an indolent lot of careless, unappreciative individuals who have apparently made no progress whatever." The fault I have to find with Mr. Meadows' attitude toward the colored performer is the same as that of the average white man on the Negro question—an utter lack of discrimination—an inclination to class the good and bad together and label all bad. And then again, it may be that Mr. Meadows is like some white people, who form their conclusions on the race question solely on what they see in their narrow confines; for in the East we see many refined colored acts which do not savor of crudeness, coarseness, suggestive jokes and ancient comedy. Mr. Meadows' plea that the colored performer should show more progress and uncork more originality is timely, for, there is much room for more high-class colored vaudeville turns; but relative to the charge that "after months of fostering and petting we find only an indolent lot of careless, unappreciative individuals who have apparently made no progress whatever," I am compelled to rise to a point of order.

Sheinars, 194 Böwery, was refused a license for a moving picture theatre at the northeast corner of Lenox avenue and 129th street because a delegation of ministers, lawyers and business men protested on the ground that opening the picture house would bring the Negroes in large numbers into that section. While the word "Negro" was not used in the hearing, the preachers and others admitted to Commissioner Bell and Deputy Commissioner Bell that it was the invasion of Negroes which was feared. Among those who spoke against the granting of the license, declaring that 150th street should be the dividing line for whites and blacks in Harlem, were the Rev. Duncan J. McMillan, pastor emeritus of the New York Presbyterian Church; the Rev. Bruce, Clark of the Church of the Puritan; Robert Leivers, a real estate man, and T. P. Ward, of the New York Telephone Company. In refusing the license Commissioner Bell said he believed the residents of the neighborhood were unanimously opposed to the granting of the license. GAME NEW YEAR'S NIGHT. GAME NEW YEAR'S NIGHT. An answer to the question. Who is who in New York in basketball' will be answered to a great degree by the results of the game on New Year's night between Maiden's Incorporators team and the "Big 5" of the Alphas. The game will be Friday night, January 1, beginning at 9 o'clock, instead of in the afternoon as previously advertised, at Manhattan Casino. Madden's team has developed an unexpected strength and punch in its showings so far this season and its supporters are confidently looking to the defeat of the Alpha team. The Alphas, however, have a team which is capable of holding its own and the basketball fans are looking forward to a battle royal. The dance music will be played by Dauge's N. A. M. A. and box tickets can be secured from the Incorporators' club rooms. 119 West 136th street. Telephone 441 Audubon. Howard to Play Hampton at Manhattan Casino January 15 will be a big date in basketball in New York. Many people would ask, "Why?" The answer would be, "The Howard-Hampton game." This will be the first college game played this year and inasmuch as each won a game last year there is considerable speculation as to who will win. The Physical Director Williams of Hampton is putting his men through the stuff of drills and has engaged the best attainable basketball coach. They have the largest gymnasium of any of the colored institutions at their disposal. This will undoubtedly give them the advantage of Howard, as the court at Manhattan Casino is probably the largest with the exception of the Hampton gymnasium. Hampton will bring several Indians in their line-up, which always adds to the attraction. Gayle, the star forward of Hampton, will be the first to play trouble. His basketball shooting has improved much over last year's and his teammate, Indian Jamison, has improved wonderfully. The defeat of Howard at the hands of the Incorporators was more than likely due to the fact that Howard had not had the necessary coaching up to that time. It was entirely too early after the football season for the management to allow the team to play such a hard game. It could plausibly be seen that they had great success in the hard practice it is reasonable to believe they will return to their old form. Gilmore was especially weak at center. This was due to the fact that he had received such severe injuries in the football season that he was unable to show his best form. Much is expected of him in the Hampton game, and undoubtedly he will give the public what he is the first of angular championship games, as Lincoln will play Howard here on February 22 and undoubtedly before the solemn is over Lincoln and Hampton will meet on some court. Patterson A, C. Win Nine Straights 'The Royal A. C. of Paterson, N. J.' won two games last week, making nine straight victories. In the first game they defeated the Paterson Five by the one- sided score of 64 to 19, the regular team playing the first half; the score was 39 to 7. In the second half the Royal Mid- gets went in and held their opponents 25 to 12. 'Friday the Royals went to Elizabeth and defeated the fast and heavy Elizabeth Speed Boys by the score of 23 to 15. The Royals as usual displayed' great pass work. The score at the end of the first half was 13 to 3 in favor of Royals, Mack and Capt. Sessoms were the usual stars.

Help Win Championship for School. John Brunson and George Creed of Harlem Evening High School were the primary factors scoring the championship for that school in the cross country run held in Brooklyn. The course measured three and one-half miles over hill and dale on the Prospect Park course. Of the fifty starters only three Negro boys were among them. All finished well up in the front. John Brunson secured second place after having run about three hundred yards off the course. He would have surely won it it had he been acquainted with the course. In the last half mile he was leading the field by a big margin. Spectators along the course failed to tell him when they saw him going wrong. When he did look back and saw that his competitors were going in a different direction it was too late for him to overtake the leader. Nevertheless he succeeded in pulling up in second position. George Creed succeeded in earning fifth place. The other Negro lail ran well, representing the Brooklyn Evening High School. He finished among the first twenty. John Brunson and George Creed belong to the Salem Crescent A. C. The latter is the Crescent's cross country captain. Whitman and the Boxing Commission. To the Editor of The Arc: Kindly allow me space in your columns, being a reader a subscriber for many years. Knowing the stand your paper has taken in championing our rights throughout the universe, I know you will sanction me in congratulating Governor-elect Whitman for announcing his disapproval of the present State boxing champion, a slur on the colored boxes and lovers of the mainly art of self defense. We that keep abreast of the times know what gentlemen constitute the Boxing Commission. They are newspaper men and are Southerners to the backbone. So it was not a big wonder when the Commission was created they seized the opportunity to slap the colored boxes. Let us hope that Mr. Whitman will keep of those Negro havers. W.C. TALBERT. 220 Delaware Avenue, Jersey City. HOLLY SPRINGS MISS HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss.—Dr. I.

C. has again chosen H. E. Logsdell, captain of Virginia Union's squad, as left half back of the All-Star team from colored colleges of the East. Captain Howell was one of the chief officers in developing a stellar team for Union in the last two seasons. As a result, Union is no longer found among the weak, but securely takes her place in foot ball dow as a member of the Big Four of the Colored Colleges. Howell is essential to this plunger and a good interferer. He guards force and is hired to help stand foot force and is hired to help stand head and shoulders above any other back in the country. In Director Henderson's second choice all-star team, there are three other Union players—W. Thompson, left guard, H. E. Thompson, right half, and R. B. Taylor, full back, Union has the unique distinction of having entire backfield, chosen as all-star players. A great factor in bringing these things to pass is Dr. A. M. Fisher, coach of Union's team, Dr. Fisher is an alumnus of Lincoln University and University of Pennsylvania. He played right end on "Penns" Varsity in 1911. LJMA. OHIO.

Music School Settlement Not An audience that filled them very neat in the new home of the Mille Music Settlement listened last, Sunday afternoon to Mille. Eva Gauthier, the fourth artist to appear in the unique series of artist recitals. She sang two groups of beautiful and ancient Javanese folk-songs in a career during her four years' stay in Java surrounded by the daughter of the royal princesses. Mille. Gauthier was gowned in the dress of the Javanese royal ladies and made a splendid appearance. The audience was soon under her influence in spite of the fear that she was singing all her songs. Gauthier is different from most so-called singsers, and it is doubtful if these Javanese songs will ever be so gracefully sung in the new world by another singer. She has many happy graces of expression; her personality, along with her capacity of keen delinquency, raised the esteem of those who listened. Mille Gauthier desires to hear some real Negro music, and Mr. Johnson obliged by rendering Master Piece of Negro Frequence. $1.40 Complete Poem of Paul Lawrence New Era of Progress and Promise. $5.00 Dumber $2.00 The Capture and Execution of John Brown, by Pye Witness $1.80 PORTAGE: PREPAID "Since You Went Away," and "Lit Gal," two of his own compositions.
