Unavailing and Bill Goes Over for Session. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24—By a vote of 179 to 97 the House on Monday refused to unite the Jim Crow bill which probably disposes of the matter for this Congress. There will be no more District days in the House until next session. Members of the House had been circularized by letters signed by Representative Clark of Florida, Gregg of Texas, Caraway of Arkansas, Byrnes of South Carolina and others, urging a full attendance in the House today to cast a vote against going into committee of the whole to take up the fortifications bill. The latter stated that this day is District day and that the only matter to be presented to be the Jim Crow bill. The board was sent to give members a full understanding of the case. As soon as Chairman Sherley, in charge of the fortifications bill, moved to go into committee of the whole to take up his bill, Chairman Johnson of the District committee called for a roll call vote, which resulted in taking up the appropriation bill and setting aside District day. JIM CROW LEGISLATION A POSITIVE DETRIMENT Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Recessional Feb. 12 In an effort to prevent coloured people from getting more property in the neighborhood of Fifth and Leigh streets, the City Council has amended the Vonderlehr segregation act making the number of, separate buildings, and not the number of residences, the test whereby a block is ascertained to be "white" or "colored." The whites have been up in arms since the church property at Fifth and Leigh streets was sold to the congregation of the Leigh Street M. E. Church. By a curious ruling of the city attorney, was decided that the congregation would have to build exits on Fifth street so as to conform to the segregation law. Recently, however, a colored man was fined $100 and costs for moving into a house on Fifth street. He immediately noted an appeal, which is yet to be heard. CHAS.

Thomas, field secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, with headquarters in this city, was a cup of the meeting of the Westminster Cub at the meeting of the Dawware avenue, Wednesday evening, January 6. In his speech he gave the following interesting figures: "The number of homes owned by Negroes in this country has increased from 9,000 in 1863 to 55,000 in 1913. Number of businesses conducted increased from 2,000 in 1863 to 40,000 in 1913. Wealth from 1863 to 1870 in 1913. Number of businesses conducted increased from 2,000 in 1863 to 40,000 in 1913. Wealth from 1863 to 1870 in 1913. Value of property- from $1,400,000 in 1863 to $50,000,000- in 1913. Number of communicants from 550,000,000 in 1863 to 1870 in 1913. Number of Negroes in Virginia alone- 1,423,629 acres of Virginia alone at $13,154,767. "Within the last ten years, the live stock, poultry and farming implements owned by the Negro in the South have 147,273,785. In the North, the Negro has bought more land per capita than was true of the white man. The most of this land is owned and cultivated by the educated and better class of Negroes. This alone will show that the Negro is a great people along the lines of industry and thrift is not as a rule skiless as a great many people try to make it appear. If the South will educate the Negro it will have some to till its soil and some one as much out of the soil as any other race of people that it might bring there. "Since the Negro was brought and placed in this country by the people of this country it is right and just that the people of this nation should educate him. W. E. KING'S LETTER DECLINING POSITION special to LT New York, Ar COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 23. — Thomas Green, the colored lawyer, appointed by the new Republican Attorney-General for the State, is to take the place for the Governor, the Goodman, also colored, who served under Democratic Attorney-General Hogan. The Republican Attorney-General cuts the salary for his colored assistant to $1,500 per annum, whereas the former Democratic Attorney-General, who was the first to recognize the race in that office, saw to it that Mr. Goodman received a salary of $1,800 per annum, and was permitted to maintain an office outside and look after private office premises. Wilbur E. King declined a 2000 position in the Attorney-General-elect's office. In declining the position, Mr. King sent the Attorney-General the following letter: "I have given the subject of my appointment a great deal of thought since I saw you last, and while I appreciate your consideration for me, I cannot bring myself to believe that it will be the best for me or my people to accept. My reasons for believing that it will be the best from the courts and juries, and out of touch with the public with which it has taken me a long time to build up a relation' of confidence and good will, and at the end of two years I will find myself a stranger to the courts and people of my county. Second—My people are passing through a strange crisis, and they need some one to speak to them. I have met their interests, and I owe it to them to do whatever I can in their behalf. In the office of Attorney-General all things must meet at a common point. My duty to my people might easily lead in a different direction from the administration policy I could not afford to embarrass the administration on one hand, nor satisfy myself on the other of the things that strongly urge me to go back to the ranks of general practice, which I have fully determined to do."

C., Feb. 24.—By action of the Senate on Saturday the item for $101,000 for Howard University, which was stricken from the sundry civil bill by the House of Representatives, was replaced in the measure. It is expected that the item will be retained in conference. Senator Hardwick of Georgia; in an effort to hold up action on the matter, declared that the federal government did not appropriate money for any white institutes of learning in the District. Senator Martin, chairman of the appropriations committee, stated that the government appropriated millions of dollars each year to the state agricultural colleges. Senator Hardwick claimed that these schools were opened to both races, but Senator Martin called his attention to the fact that they did not do so in Georgia and Virginia, and in some of the other states. Senator Martin said also that the necessities of the colored people have appealed to the government and the national government undertook many years ago to aid in giving them the money they needed, this institution: "Nothing in this bill," said he, "has appealed to me more strongly than this appropriation." When the vote was taken it was overwhelmingly in favor of the items for Howard University.

Prominent Southern Educator Expresses Advanced Views on the Race Question and Pleads with White Man for the Negro Cowardly Terrorizing and Repression of Negro Reacts upon Civilization of White Race—Says Admit Negro to Inspiration of White's Social Heritage: Special to THE NEW YORK AGE LITTLE Rock, Ark., Feb. 23—Dr. Chas Hillman Brough, professor of economics and sociology in the University of Arkansas, and chairman of the University Commission on the Southern Race Question, says that the "closing of the door of equality of opportunity to the Negro and his persistent intellectual and moral pauperization must in the end react upon the civilization of the white." Dr. Brough's high standing among Southern educators gives his views a peculiar interest. They are contained in his annual report to the University Commission, composed of eleven men drawn from the faculties of the leading universities and colleges of the South. Declaring that there are no points of social contact whatever where, the two races meet and exchange ideas, Dr Brough says further: In my human mission it is better to the Negro to all the stimulants and the inspiration of the white's social heritage, so far as it applies to economic opportunity than to encourage an ignorant and debased citizenship by his neglect and repression. It is of course, plain that the cowardly terrorizing of a weaker race sets in motion subtle educational forces which react upon both groups. Negro Becomes Nemesis of Whites. "in a far deeper and more tragic sense, however, does the repressed and laughed up the Negro," he says. For by being a winning partner in a process of repression the white voluntarily surrounds himself with a group of lower standards, unsanitary homes, and an outlook on human life devoid of the stimulus the tone of the environment, and it becomes an easy matter to take a "moral lesson" from the Negro. "Criminal situations for the Negro are not very reassuring. It is interesting, however, to find that the Negro has a commitment to the immigrant races which are now coming to the United States. The commitment to the immigrant races were: Mexicans, Italians, 4.4; Austrians, 3.6; French, 3.4; Camudhans, 3; Russians, 2.8; Poles, 2.7; Negroes, 2.7. He makes a strong presentation of the question of health improvement; declaring that there is no iron law of mortality, but that length of life increases wherever sanitary science and preventive medicines are applied, and that a sufficient amount of pure air, pure food and water is required to the average Negro life, which is now about 35 years. He cites figures which show that sickness among Negroes entails a loss from labor of $45,000,000 annually, to which must be added the cost of sickness, which amounts to $75,000,000. Funeral expenses of about $15,000,000 give a total expenditure for sickness and death of $135,000,000 yearly for Negro population of the South. He declares that 600,000 deaths yearly among Negroes is preventable by better sanitation and preventive medicine. "Practically the only cloud on the horizon of race adjustment," says Dr. Brough, "is the problem of segregation. But time, wisdom and patience will solve this question. The idea of farm segregation, as proposed by Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer, 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." Special to the New York Volunteer BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 3.—The consolidation of the Alabama Penny and the initial Savings Banks has been announced.

Governor Whitman, in presenting the Spingarn medal to Prof. Just, made a strong and unequivocal speech. There were no qualifications and modifications, no "ifs" and "buts." What he said was clear and definite, and in full accord with his fearless record on the race question. Among other things he, said: "Speaking for the State, discrimination as against any race or class or creed must in the end injure all. We are one people in New York. We have a common duty and a common destiny, and, for selfish reasons if for no other, the rights of the weaker must be guarded and protected by the stronger, and the sacred privileges of American citizenship must be denied to none." We do not believe that these are mere empty words and phrases from the Governor; we believe he said what he meant and meant what he said. MAYOR, MITCHELL AND THE NEGRO. Mayor Mitchell seems to have forgotten entirely the sentiments which he expressed before the Interdenominational Minister's Union at St. Marks Church just prior to his election. When Mr. Mitchell was nominated, the colored voters of New York City, for various good and sufficient reasons, had grave doubts as to how he stood on the race question. Mr. Mitchell very willingly appeared before the Ministers' Union and stated his position. In doing this he expressed the sentiment that all men, regardless of race should receive the same protection that the Government gives; and that no man, on account of race, should be deprived of the privileges that the Government bestows. It was upon this clear statement that the colored voters of this city went to the polls, and in such a large measure, helped to elect Mayor Mitchell. The Mayor, so far as we know has lived up to the first part of his statement; but, not up to the present time, has he seen fit to call to this municipal government one single representative from the nearly 100,000 colored citizens of this city. That the Negroes of New York should demand representation in the administration of the city government is not a question of mere office seeking; it is a question of full and unlimited citizenship. That several colored men should hold modest office would make no material difference to the race, but it would have a decided effect upon our status and standing as citizens, and upon our self-respect as members of the community. The idea that all the Negroes in New York are good enough to vote men into office, but that none of them are good enough to hold office is one that, in some way or other, must be corrected. Let the Negroes of New York prepare themselves to vote, let them vote intelligently, and let them remember the records of the men for whom they vote. Let Mayor Mitchell remember that he was nominated by three votes and that there were three colored men on the Fusion Nominating Committee. And let him remember that he received the solid vote of the Negro in New York. By a curious coincidence, the birthdays of the two Americans who are the greatest historic characters of the nation fall but ten days apart. This fact cannot fail to bring up each year a more or less direct comparison between Washington and Lincoln—It does not take a keen observer to note that Washington suffers by the comparison. The estimate of Lincoln's greatness has steadily increased, while that of Washington has remained the same—if it has not diminished. Robert Ingersoll expressed more truth than wit when he said, "Washington has become a steel engraving." As the years go by, Washington's figure recedes, he becomes more misty and cold; on the other hand, Lincoln looms up larger, closer and warmer. The character of Lincoln to-day stirs the nation as that of no other patriot. What was the essential difference between these two men, both of them so supremely great? Why is Washington little more than a massive monument, impressive but cold; while Lincoln is a living force, a force that can raise us to a state of exultation that is almost religious? Lincoln was the possessor of love. He was not only wise and just and true and brave, but he had boundless love for his fellowman. It is this in Lincoln that draws men closer to him, it is this in him that thrills men's hearts, it is this in him that takes him out from the ranks of the mere heroes of the world and places him among the saviours of mankind. History fails to record any man so near perfect and, at the same time, so completely human as Abraham Lincoln. REAPING THE WHIRLWIND. In last week's issue we called attention to despatches relating the lynching of two white men, one in Georgin and another in Kentucky. We also quoted an editorial from the Atlanta "Constitution" which closed with this sentence, "If several Negroes can be lynched for a crime that was not even a capital offense, and the lynchers go unwhipped of justice, what guarantee is there that the lives of white men and women under similar circumstances are safe?" In these lines the "Constitution" is making an appeal for justice. Of course, as is natural, its ideas of justice and all the other humane virtues are very much twisted. Suppose the lives of white men and women "under similar circumstances" were absolutely safe, would that make the lynching of Negroes any more excusable? If anything, it ought to make the deed less excusable. However, the communal conscience in places where mob law is allowed to rule is in such a condition that it cannot be touched except by some such argument as that put forth by the "Constitution." The people of such a community must be told that if white men are allowed to lynch colored men and women with impunity it will not be long before they will also lynch white men and women. So we must give the great Atlanta daily credit for using the strongest argument (in words) it could lay hands on. The warning uttered by the "Constitution" is rapidly becoming a fulfilled prophecy; another recent despatch says: MOB TAKES WHITE MAN FROM JAIL; LYNCHES HIM. FOREST HILL, Mo., Feb. 28—A white man, believed to be W. F. Williams of Hot Springs, Ark., who took part in a pistol battle in which a policeman and an unidentified man were killed, was taken from the jail here and lynched by a mob. Early risers discovered the body riddled with bullets hanging from the fire bell tower above the City Hall, where it remained till noon. But just a word to the Atlanta "Constitution" and to the State of Georgia. Why argue about the matter at all? Or why.wait for a number of what might be innocent white men and women to be lynched, in hope that it will result in stopping the lynching of colored men and women? There is a method so simple, so direct, so sure and, withal, so obvious that it could not have been overlooked by The "Constitution" except purposely. It is nothing more than to hang the leaders of each lynching mob. The leaders of the mob that recently lynched a Negro father, his son and two daughters at Monticello can easily be found out. We have no doubt that their identity is already common knowledge. If the "Constitution" is in earnest, if Judge, Parks and Jasper County are in earnest, if the State of Georgia is in earnest, let the leaders of the Monticello mob be hanged; and lynching, in Georgia, at least, permanently go out of fashion. HOW THE JEWS FIGHT DISCRIMINATION.. Some weeks ago we published in this column an article entitled, "Prejudice Minus Discrimination." In that article we pointed out how the Jews, although they are still the objects of a great deal of prejudice, have managed to stamp out almost entirely discrimination against themselves. We also stated in the same article that the Jews are in many respects the example which we should place before us for working out our own problem. We now have a striking illustration of the methods used by the Jews in fighting their cause. There is a bill before the Legislature known as the Greiner-Tallett bill, which requires the daily reading of ten verses from the Bible in all public schools. Prominent Jews throughout the state are fighting to defeat this bill, and several, of them have expressed their views on it through the newspapers. Dr. Joseph Silverman, rabbi of Temple Emanu-El, among other things said: Patriotism and respect for the law belong to the curriculum of the public school, but theology never, either directly or indirectly. The Constitution of our country is based on the separation of Church from State. I believe that the inculturation of religion through Bible reading in the schools is a violation of the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States. Some may claim that the Bible should be read merely as literature, but that is neither the purpose of Bible reading nor is it the result. I know what the purpose behind this movement is, and I must say it is far from observing the constitutional rights of every man and woman in this country. If the plea that the Bible is good literature is advanced I will answer with the statement that there is plenty of literature to read besides selecting a book whose only purpose is to teach religion. Leonard M. Wallstein, Commissioner of Accounts of New York said: I do not for a moment favor the carrying of religious principles into our public schools. The ethical principles common to all faiths can be taught without use of the scriptures, as proposed. Their use in the manner provided in Mr. Tallett's bill will, it seems to me, either intrude the religious faith of some school children on all of them, or it will make for the classification of school children on the basis solely of religious belief. Both results are pernicious and both are distinctly un-American. Again, I wish to urge very strongly against even a suggestion of the measure. Meyer London, who was elected to Congress last fall on the Socialist ticket, had the following to say: It is an outrageous invasion of public rights, and it is absolutely unconstitutional. It is an infringement on the rights of the State and religion. The men who elected me to Congress are absolutely opposed to the bill. All Jews must be opposed to the measure. There are other ways of teaching moral tenets than by foisting Bible reading on the children of this State. The individual should be left alone, to do whatever he pleases, so that he does not hurt others. The introduction of Bible reading in our public schools does not fit in, with the progressiveness and outlook of this State. All of these objections to the bill are on what we might call high ground. They are all based on "unconstitutionality," "religious freedom, organization of church and state, etc. They are objectives that might be required by Gentiles as well as Jews. It is not until we read what was said by Judge Leon Sanders that we get at the heart of the matter. Judge Sanders is grand master of the Independent Order of Brith Abraham, an organization having a membership of 200,000 Jews. An organization with 200,000 members easily represents within the neighborhood of 1,000,000 people. Among other things, Judge Sanders said: While Bible-reading in itself cannot do children any harm, and is to a great extent used in aid and protection without the shadow of double-exposure to very grave-suites, Jewish children will in classroom would be enphrashed if certain sections of the Bible, such as the crucification of Christ, should be mentioned. Other children would feel a spirit of enmity toward them. Will this result in democracy? The bill will lead us back to the dark ages of hate if it should be passed. We can now see the deeper reason why the Jews of this state are bringing to bear their wealth, their political power and the influence of their great organizations to defeat this bill. It is simply because reading in the public schools those parts of the Bible which recount the crucification of Christ would humiliate Jewish children in the eyes of their Gentile classmates, and make them, perhaps, the objects of prejudice and hatred. You may rest assured that the bill will be defeated. No member of the Legislature from New York City and many other parts of the State, who has any future political hopes will dare vote for it, because the Jews have, first of all, political power, and they have financial power and the power which comes from organization. Is this not an example for us? If the Jews will fight against having the Bible read in the public schools for fear that Jewish children may be humiliated thereby, what should we not do when the attempt is being made to write upon the national statute books exclusion laws, anti-intermarriage laws, separate street car laws and other laws designed with the sole purpose of making us the objects of general contempt and hatred. Of course, we have not the wealth of the Jews, but there is no reason why we should not be just as effectively organized. Nor is there any reason why we should not in the states where we are not disfranchised make telling use of our political power. COMMENDING THE AGE The Age a Teacher of Race Pride.

To the Editor of The Age: Noticing your article in regard to placing monuments of the great liberators of the race, you have, beyond any doubt, the right to press the wish of many people who have willingly given to the fund to erect a monument to the late Harriet Tubman, that it be placed, not in the city, but in some public square or park. We use our cineraries in the North only on sad occasions, and on those visits one never thinks of anything overwhelming or sorrow that brings them to tears. In the South we use the cemetery for afternoon strolling and courting, and last, but by no means least, for getting converted. In that part of the country the cemetery is a place for a monument, because it would be seen, but I dare say if the monument should be placed in the cemetery in Auburn no one will see it after the monument is taken to be hidden from the passing view. Perhaps a tablet at the grave and the monument in the park would be better, so that children in their play, as they grow up, remember one so useful to our race in its darkest age. CATHERINE E. HILL 48-50 Wcat 131st Street. New York. Tubman Monument on Banks of Hudson. The movement to erect a memorial to Harriet Tubman is a noble and lofty inspiration. A deed that will ruse her grand personality and character to the world is a memorial to the minds of the Negroes and history. As one of the world's great women, Harriet Tubman is by all means entitled to a fitting memorial. The memorial pertinent reminder that "Noble Character" and "Greatness" of soul are not the birth right of any one self-annotated, heavenly conceived race. But that, in the words of Harriet Tubman, that Greatness and Nobility of Character are a common heritage. To erect a monument is so illustrous a name in a cemetery, is a typical exponent of the great human kind—who seem to be gifted with the glorious breadth of "Little Homespun" minds. A monument to this great man is the majestic Hudson, hacking her with the world's great, and pointing to the one-woman of woman kind. This monument is a further racial character. Harriet Tubman's memorial should and will express the true: idealistic heights to the great woman kind" shall inspire and reech. DE MOND, LEWIS, New York City; Harriet Tubman institute as Memorial To the Editor* of The Age: A monument to the memory of Harriet Tubman. Yes, and again, YES. To be placed in a cemetery? No. I agree with you Mr. Editor. A graveyard is no place for a monument to so great a character as Harriet Tubman. Being hidden away it would be a great tragedy. It tended. Furthermore, a great many people never care to visit the place, and some don't want to be ever taken there. Thousands of boys and the most common school advantages. Then why not make this worthy investment? Harriet Tubman Institute? It would stand for more in showing the unparalleled greatness of her life and achievements, and; in the meantime, it would mean vastly more to our children and their children than money could erect. Let the children lead off. We have forty thousand Sunday Schools. Let them contribute two dollars each. Then they contribute four dollars each.

Would the people To the Editor of THE AGE: -In reply to the article of our learned and distinguished brother of the law, James C. Thomas, Jr., of New York City, which appeared in the issue of your paper of January 28, I desire to state that it I: for the Southern Negro attorneys, have long since given this matter of damages against municipalities, a careful consideration, and some considerable research as to the law bearing on said question. Situated as I am, and have been for more than twenty years in the actual practice of the law before the courts of this Southland, knowing as I do what the Negro lawyer—the one with the many backbone and grit, one with the many backbone and grit, one must face and go up against every time he enters a court room, then I must appreciate the fact that Negro lawyers must move very cautiously along these lines before taking actions every time. 1, as stated above, have practiced law in the South for more than twenty years, and I don't mean that I just had my shingle out, and hanging around police cars, but I have been getting a divorce case once in a while or being a flunkey for some white lawyer, or something like that, that is a disregue to the profession. But I mean that during that time I have represented my people, and some white clients as well in every legal capacity, both civil and criminal cases, and more than 5,000 civil cases. I have represented more than twenty-seven Negro men and women charged with murder, and I am proud to say not one in all that number have suffered the capital punishment under said charge. I have also had more than 7,146 other criminal cases, and more than 5,000 civil cases of Florida vs. Rubin Harris" charged with the murder of a white police officer in Pensacola, Fla., we raised, the constitutional question of Negroes being discriminated against as jury; and from time to time, as the opportunity to work with them, we did a disregue in other criminal cases until we got Negroes on the jury in Escambia County, Florida. From time to time Negro lawyers in the South grasp the opportunity to give a telling blow to these unjust discriminations and laws that are aimed at people, though we realize every time we have to sacrifice of our lives, our homes, our families and loved ones, our financial prosperity and our future. Whenever it is done by one of us we are then forever known as "marked men" by the court, the court officials and the white people, and. And if here we intend to remain we must prepare to stay only by building tenacity, pledge, grit and backbone. How long do you suppose a Negro lawyer would, live, and what chance he would have, in going to such a little old dirty hole as Monticello, Ga., and filing an action for damages against those "crackers" for the lynching of those Negroes? There would be only one opportunity to offer him, and that would be to take him into those gallant boys of the U.S. army, 24th and 25th regiments and the 9th and 10th cavalry, and with those he might get away safe. We are down here gradually hammering against these injustices and making the sacrifice; and we lieg of you who TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS Sixth Annual Session, June 21 to July 16, 1915 OVER 400 TEACHERS PRESENT LAST SESSION Dec 10-6Mo freedom to continue to be brave and hold sentiment; don't for once doubt that it is not being felt.

H. ALSTON. The Negro Newspapers To the Editor of The Age; **THE EDITOR OF THE ACE:** It is time for a break complimentary to Mr. Josh Jones, who manages a "spoke house" and barber shop, corner of South McDowell and West Lenoir streets, in this city. Mr. Jones is a young man who reads Negro newspapers, a habit I am laboring to inculcate into the minds of every young Negro I meet. I say to all such; If you read Negro presses and periodicals, Negro presses will have to stop running for lack of readers." If such a thing were to happen there is no telling what would be the Negro's plight in this country within the next twenty-five years. Negro newspapers keep the general-public informed as to the race's progress: since freedom in the 19th century, Negro religion, arts and science, wealth and all other avenues of racial endeavor. Without this medium of publicity the status of the Negro would soon drift to nothing in the eyes of the advanced races. The white press almost as a unit refuses to publish matters pertaining to Negro progress and uplift, while on the Negro's shortcomings in big headlines in order to catch the eye of the reading public. The Negro is made to father many published crimes that were committed by white men. For instance, a few days ago the people of Gastonia, N.C., were much perturbed over the loss of laundry which their washwomen (colored) relied on for their clothes-lines during the night. Of course the colored washwomen had to pay for the stolen laundry. A repetition of the theft created an alarm in this town and the police officers "got busy." In a short while news reached the police authorities in Gastonia that a white man and his wife were being held by a trunk full of clothes bearing the names of several Gastonia citizens. The prisoners were brought back to Gastonia along, with the trunk. The housewives of Gastonia identified the stolen laundry. When news of the theft was first made known, public Opinion charged it up to the police, every suspicious Negro in that life being held with the hope of nabbing the guilty one. At no time did suspicion direct itself toward the white culprit. There are many other instances wherein the Negro is held-up to -ridicule and prosecution for crimes he is innocent of having committed, as a rule the criminals silent culprit turns out to be a white man. Crimes committed throughout the Southland are heralded to the world in the white papers. Thousands and thousands of good deeds are done by members of both races. The white man's good deeds are published but only the bad deeds of the white man. He is not the only one who comes in and takes up the good deeds done by the Negro and herds them to the world. Doing this builds up a favorable sentiment for the Negro. I believe the average young Negro would read more of his race's papers were the mission of a race paper made plain to him. This I am trying to do with all the power and skill that God has given me, and it is my talk whenever the opportunity offers. Finally I say to young Negroes: "Read your race's newspapers." I cannot close this article without giving the editors of Negro newspapers a passing shot. The majority of the Negro editors attempt to cover too much ground in the make-up of their papers. We see too many great big Negro newspapers with many columns of stereotyped old men. The balance of the space is made up with the doings of church work. Many times no editorial comment on the current events of the day. This is a poor excuse for a race paper, and the editor ought not expect young Negroes to subscribe and pay for this rot, called a race paper. Cut out the stertotyped matter, reduce church news to short sketches, write short editorials on lice matters that will interest the readers in your immediate territory. In doing so, a big spread-eagle newspaper sheet, but without the full of rich, spicy matters. A newspaper like this will take, and you will not meet with the rebuff, "There is nothing in it." Ignoring the Messianic Prophecies. To the Editor of The *Jac*: How many are crying? "Peace, peace, peace when there is no peace." It is very desirable that there should be world-wide peace among the nations of the earth; that the prophecies leading up to that time the prophecies consumption have been fulfilled. Did not the blessed Seirorsay, "Think not to come to destroy, the law or the prophets to fulfill." He never ignored the prophecies as the great men and leading thinkers of our day are doing; they are talking of forcing world peace at the close of the century. The prophecies any consideration whatever. When the two dejected disciples were beaming the death of the Saviour, he appeared to them, and after listening to them, he said to them, "They are not laughed or overlooked the truth just as the leaders of public opinion are doing in these days, he said unto them, "They are men, and slow of heart to believe in them, and spoken, * * and beginning Moses and from all the prophets he interpreted dreams Of things that yet may be; Of blessings that will one day come What I love, I long to see.

WILSON Camden, Ala. to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Should we not take heed as we study the mighty trend of events in our day? Why think of considering the war, or peace, or justice, or about Christ in our own time? It is all true, "That the Most High rulers in the kingdom of men, and given to it to whosoever He will, be the or prophecy of world wide peace, in the Bible is founded on the predicted personal return and presence of the "Man Christ Jesus"; and it is always stated that before he comes the Lord will give prophecies "concerning" him must be fulfilled. "It is his coming to reign that will cause the much alked of, and hoped for "disarmament", when "nations shall be defeated" and when their spurs into pruning books; and "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more; there are yet many prophecies fulfilled before peace can come to this world. "Just as "four" great world powers came successfully to the fore as predictive prophecy, during the later time of the ancient age, or dispensation, so will "four" great world powers rise up from the restless, swaying sea of humanity during the seventh century, as so clearly predicted. In the seventh chapter of Daniel. Three of these "four" heats—(four kingdoms) Enoch fully developed, and are the leading factors in this present great war; the fourth terrible heat will be maintained, the fifth division for the "ten-fold division" of warring nations, then the Antichrist, the final manifestation of ennity against God. Now since it is so fully predicted that the themselves, for world domination, the talk of world peace at the close of this present war is foolishness; it is worse than the world is willful unbelief of the word of God. The method proposed to secure world peace at the close of this war is the very consummation of folly. It is proposed that a few of the leading nations shall have to determine or nationalize to club into submission all other nations that would not get once submit to their dictation; would not that be war? Let them try it, it will be the war. Let them develop of the "fourth beast" if they develop of the "self"; then we shall have the "two hours," the warring kingdoms, the rise of the "man of sin." Then, the prophecies being fulfilled we may look for the "kingdoms." The Prince of Peace to come and war, by the setting up of His own everlasting kingdom of righteousness. E. GEORGE BIDDLE Norwich, Conn. EDUCATION AND .SELF-RESTRAINT. Booker T. Washington is quoted as saying recently, "I am a dedicated member of his race: 'By right living, obeying the laws and showing deference to every man, you will demonstrate to the world what education means. And in this way Negroes who obtain white man more vividly than in any other way the need of education and gain his co-operation even more wide- than at present.' Commenting on this advance, the Florida Times-Union says: Education may spoil the Negro as an unskilled laborer as it spills the white man for such work, but it lifts him into a higher work that needs, to be done by Negroes. There are nearly ten million Negro teachers and preachers should be Negroes and should be educated. there is no objection to men of their race serving them in other room for educated Negroes in this country in many lines. This is true. It is true also that by means of the education of any class of people the cause of law and order is brought to a better state, but no man better at heart, but increased intelligence tends to make of him a better citizen, so far as his outward behavior is concerned; he learns that he is responsible, that he is responsible, in his relations with other men. The illiterate also in many cases may learn this by experience, but education causes, men to see their own responsibility, thus promotes what we call civilization. Such have been the fruits of education among the whites and there should be similar results from education among the intelligents, should result in greater canting and self-restraint in the latter case as well as in the former. While education has been used toduce the number of informal laborers, it ought, as time goes on, to aid in lessening the difficulties of the problem of the problem of the amiable occupation of a common territory by two distinct races—for the more intelligent the race, for the more fully the realize net effect, and will dominate in all parts of this country. HINTS TO YOUNG COLORED ARTISTS Life is made up of little things. Along with their other studies, medical students are always taught the traditional courtesay: "For instance, for professional courtesy demands that his physician shall criticize another physician, try to supplant another doctor, or divulge any thing concerning the alliment of a patient or that has been told to him by his physician. To practice the Gold Rule: "Do unto others as you wish to be done by." A visiting physician, whether whit or colored, expects some professional hospitality and attention from local physicians and this even excludes those who fall along this line. It is golden that a colored musician or musical society will entertain a visiting artist or send flowers at a debut or even send a note of welcome and good wishes. This is the cus- A local musician too often presents the imporation of a travelling professional and extends this feeling to the stranger. At my initial appearance years ago in a social city, a duet sang by two musicians preceded my number. There was a very large bouquet to be presented to one of the ladies, who although a rather elderly woman was a great favorite. The promoters, who had forgotten the theme of flowers to get to know the owners, it looks so bad not to have flowers for Mme. Hackley too. Present the flowers go Mme. Hackley as a token of welcome and good will from one singer to another. "No, indeed, I will not," she replied. "Me, a perfect stranger."

When the program was over, I did not ask her to say, "Madame, I wish that I could study with you. I have never had a chance to get voice culture." And I thought to myself, "The colored profession can get along without any money."

Katharine Davis, commissars of Corrections in New York City, says that the city government ought to get nearer to the people; that in New York politics is played as a game.

I have never asked her for it because I have known that she did not have the money, and it was too much to enjoy dollars to me—a stranger—to enjoy the thrill and the experience. A "Cheap" Social Musician. In one city with a preponderance of musicians where I had a "Firewall Recital" I failed to give "all of them" complimentary tickets. One - of the most representative, a man dressed in top hat, cape evening coat, gloves, with a detail of a helmet, sung attire attended, but he walked the corridors and peered through the glass windows of the leather doors. When the recital was over he mingled with the crowd as if he had been present. He would not pay 50 cents to a "Retiring Recital" of a fellow man, he owned property. s I watched the crowd, my thoughts were brilliantly, lighted, my thoughts ran the gamut of emotions, for I despine "smallness". I had a notion sending him a message to please enter, for he worried me. Another one in the same city, advised the people not to attend my recital, saying, wouldn't pay 50 cents, but I had 100. Wait for my recital and I will give you four people for the same money." In another large city with many musicians, the Ladies Musical Club had planned to give me a reception. The afternoon of my arrival several called to see I could really sing. Although I lived there, my ability to hold my own with others. The committee met some of the other members at the street corner, and one of them, a popular singer, told them, "Oh, you can give the reception if you like" with the intimidation that she gave me. One of the most influential members, the matter was dropped. No reception was ever given. I had my revenge by making hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the same city. It seems strange to relate that nearly 99 percent of the nice things done for a traveling musician are done by laymen. No less a person than the dean of the Columbia Law School considers woman suffrage as more important than Mormonism, for he concluded his speech at the Fifth Avenue Suffrage Convention in 1890 by saying, "Some say that woman suffrage is allied to Mormonism. Well, if being a Mormon makes a person believe in the freedom of women, let us all become Mormons." Which only shows that he regards it of more importance than the reform than to spend, time, combating an evil which time and publicity will eliminate. GALE P. HILYER TO BEGIN LAW PRACTICE Gale P.

Feb, 22—Most ministers in our metropolitan cities devote their energies to the promotion of the welfare of their respective charges, but Dr. W. Sampson Brooks is one of the few pastors who considers the entire municipality his parish, and finds time to lend his aid wherever there is need for human upliftment and community development. To St. Paul A. M. E. Church, St. Louis, has lived up to his inacular announcement, "I have come to help take charge of St. Louis," and in more ways than the mere raising of big sums of money, paying off the mortgage of this historic church, he has shown his capacity for leadership. Aside from paying off the mortgage of his church of $14,000 in eleventh months, which had hampered the congregation, he has done much in its larger work of evangelization, he has found time to be in, the forefront, of those who have been the leaders in the fight for larger recognition for the black man. Dr. Brooks has made his influence felt in the encouragement he has publicly given to Negro business and professional men, arranging from time to time, special services for them and nd; dressing them and his people on the value of co-operative effort. Educational circles, through the public schools have had an important support, and therel well as fraternal societies have been proud of the tremendous energy with which he supported everything that tends to develop the Negro along all lines of racial endeavor. Dr. Brooks's wide and extensive broad field of research and his broad observations and ox- gynology. THE REV. W. SAMPSON BROOKS. perfences make him a remarkable character.

Among hose to take éxception to Manage Voekkel's statement of ty the Bla Patti. Compaiiy closed in! Memphis’ i Robert R. Chisrch, Jr, manager~ 0 Church's Auditorium, * In accusing Manager Voelckel of mak ing false statements and asserting tha the manager of the Black Patti Com pany left the members of his organiza tion “sky-high” in the winter ‘amon strangers without meat or bread, Mr Church iwrites as follows: To the Dramatic EditoF of Tue Act: . Church's Auditorium ceriainly wishes to give Mr. R. Voelckel the, benefit of every wind and wave and ‘every passing breeze, as he must ‘know by this time, but he must not be allowed to, make “false statemertts witliout a challenge, for they will #elp nobody, including the “drunkards” of his recéni com-, pany, about whom Church's Audi- +toriim knows nothing, save that their. manager left them sky-high in’a fearful winter-in a city of strangers, without meat or bread or cover. = eMr. Voelckel was attached because he ntade no effort to pay his debts. In addition to his indebtedness to the , Auditorium he owed the local prin- ter, the’ bill posting company in Memphis and in Jackson, Miss. and was responsible for moneys advanced .upot his order to Mr. Collins, his agent, and a Mr. Myers, who also - eft a hotel bill on ofr hands. ‘These items,” following a custom, were pliced in this office for collection, ‘hey remain unpaid. ’ Mr. Voelckel did not visit eitlier performance at the Auditorium, and did not make his appearance in the office éf the Auditorium until more than a_week after he had stranded here, He kept to his nest and had couriers to fetch and take the tidings of hope and distress. , |_Mr. Voelckel did not pay a single “cent, to. any representative of the ~Auditoriuat-ot-S{c__Church: for-any’ “services of any character, nor did he return a pauper’s penny of the cash money which the Auditorium ad- vanced him to feed the company, according to his plea,*but, as latterly learned, was used upon which to make that' memorable flight No gentlemen from Sts Louis supposed to be interested in Mr. Voelckel’s affairs wisited the Audito- ‘rium; therefore,” they could have learned nothing here detrimental fo the good name of the Patti aggrega- tion. Nor did any representative of the Auditorium or of Mr. Church meet with the “iJirting” angels. They dealt, wé learsi, with Mr, Collins, who, Iet us say, served his master far better than his master served him.

Rosamond Johnson, supervisor. a ‘Mr. Mannes was the foiinder of the musi¢ school settlement work among colored people, and the present healthy condition of tie work is largely due to the unilagging interest which he has ex- hibited in the work, His program on Sufiday afternoon was enjosable and educative. He evidently had in mind the needs of a yaried audi- ence when he prepared.it, for he gave a menu of musical numbers that ranged from milk for the babes to caviar for the cultivated taste. For breadth of tone and_ facility of. technique Mr. *Mannes Ieft nothing to be desired. . That he did fot always exhibit great depth of -soul may be attributed to the unusual sur- foundings.
