The New York Age WOULD RETAIN NEGRO TROOPERS Practically All Public Facilities Are Closed to the Negro Soldiers and Their Children Open even to Mexicans. INSINUATIONS RESENTED Performance of Duty Is for Duty's Sake Not for Purpose of being Kept in Small Town where only Saloon and Brother Are Open to Them. Special to The New York Age Douglas, Ariz., March 2—The Chamber of Commerce of this city, through its secretary, Oscar K. Goll, has requested Congressman Carl Hayden to make an effort to have the Ninth United States Cavalry permanently located here. The regiment has been stationed at Douglas during the past two years and the citizens are so appreciative of its presence that they want it there permanently. The text of the telegram which was sent the Congressman expressed some friendly sentiments and paid the Negro troopers the compliment of saying that "the members of the Ninth Cavalry, by their exemplary conduct, have dissipated racial prejudice and won the tolerance of the people of this community." But there were some statements in the telegram which were not so palatable to the colored soldiers. Secretary Goll said: "As you well know, there are very few places in the United States where colored troops are acceptable, but we can consonantly say that a better behaved lot of Negroes were never assembled in any community. The troopers themselves seem fully to realize that upon their proper conduct depends their stay in the vicinity of Douglas." Cheyenne Wants Them Back. Appreciating the complimentary references, at the same time the valiant troopers are not willing that the world should look upon them as parallels and outcasts, with Douglas as the only refuge willing to receive the regiment. The statement is made that the citizens of Cheyenne, Wyoming, where the regiment was formerly stationed, have made constant and repeated effort to have the Ninth returned to that station, finding them much preferable to the white soldiers. Other communities have also requested that the regiment be returned. The soldiers are not any too well pleased with the insinination that because of their desire to remain in Douglas they are on their good behavior, as this they say, would take from them the duty of doing duty for duty's sake, and thus constitute of a merited consideration due for the attainment of a required standard. Many Proscriptions in Douglas. The implication is objected to, according to the man that they have simply been good little fellows in order to be allowed to camp in a small Western town, where practically everything has been chosen to the Negro soldiers except the saloon and the brothel, a town wherein Negro children cannot attend high school, although one facilities are offered only to bath houses at schools for Y. Mexicans, a town where the Y. M. A. closed to the Negro soldiers, although all others are welcomed. The explanation of the 'tone' of the telegram sent by the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce is alleged to be in the fact that the North Cavalry succeeded a regiment of white men, and has served to some extent jointly with white soldiers, and the citizens are not willing to admit that the Negro soldiers have been more unceant, are better dressed and more respectful, as a result of growth and emulator. The white citizens, it is believed, do not hesitate to express things to the soldiers personally when in conversation with them. NEGRO NOMINATED FOR ALDERMAN IN CHICAGO Special to the New York Ack. LICENCIO, March 3.2—For the first time in Chicago's history a Negro has been nominated for Alderman, in the person of Oscar DePriest of the Second ward who was chosen on Tuesday, February 23, as the candidate for the Republicans of that ward for election to the city council. The election is to be held in April. There were three colored and five white men running for the office, but Mr. DePriest, who has served two terms as county commissioner and was indorsed by Representative Martin B. Madden and the Republican organization, won out with 1,494 votes, nearly six hundred majority votes for his nearest competitor. Louis Anderson and Charles Griffin, both colored, received 2,632 and 1,432 votes respectively, the white nominees having no look at all. The women voters played a no serious part in Mr. DePriest's nomination, their vote, for film registering 1,494 votes. GIRL WHO WON PRIZE Graduating from the Washington Irving High School of New York in February, Miss Eola Chichester was one of the first five students who were entitled to compete for two prizes for perfection in school work. She has specialized in art illustrations and the prizes were offered by the School Art League. In the supplementary examinations Miss Chichester was awarded second prize and assigned to the School of Applied Design for Women. At this institution she was refused admission because of her color, and the School Art League then awarded the prize to the white classmate whose standing was below that of Miss Chichester. The matter was brought to the attention, of officers of the Urban League who took it up with John W. Alexander, president, and James P. Haney, vice-president, of the School Art League, Secretary of Art Work in the Public Schools W, H, Maxwell, superintendent of the public schools, and others, with the result that the league rescinded its action awarding the prize to the white girl. It was again awarded to Miss Chichester, and she will enter Pratt Institute next fall. She is now taking a course at the New York Industrial Art School, Forty-second street and Third avenue, as the matter of the award was delayed beyond the time for entrance at Pratt. She purposes to make a specialty of illustrating women's styles for fashion magazines. A NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS SERVICE Special to The New York Arg NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 2. One of the measures adopted by the executive committee of the National Negro Press Association was the resolutions indorsing the organization of a National Negro Business Service. Emmett J. Scott, for fifteen years the secretary of the National Negro Business League, was selected to organize and work out the details of this movement. Mr. Scott is qualified to render invaluable assistance to the race by helping the Negro business men of the country solve their merchandising and advertising problems and at the same time bring these business men into intimate relationship with Negro newspapers to the end that they may help each other. The National Negro Business Service will present the cause of the Negro press intelligently, effectively and persistently to national advertisers, who spend millions each year for advertising and who overlook the power of the Negro papers; because it has not been brought to their attention. With the location of the main office at Tuskegee, Mr. Scott and his associates, through the efforts of the National Negro Business Service, can help the Negro newspapers of the country secure the standing they deserve among advertisers, and also can help in the movement to secure to the race independence and prosperity through the increased efficiency of its business men. TUSKEGEE TRUSTEES PROTEST FOR HOWARD Special to The New York Age. TUSKEGEE, Ala., Feb. 25.—The board of trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in session at Tuskegee, February 22, learned of the motion made in the House of Representatives at Washington to strike out from the Appropriation Bill the $101,000 annually appropriated for Howard University. Immediately it was unanimously decided to appoint a special committee to send the telegram which follows to President Woodrow Wilson, White House; Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives; the two Alabama Senators, Hon. Frank S. White and Hon. J. H. Bankhead, and Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, leader of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. The telegram: The Board of Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute have heard with profound regret that the proposed appropriation of $101,000 for Howard University has been stricken out in the House of Representatives on a point of order. Assuming, that an appropriation would have been twenty-five years more or less in some amount has been constitutionally made, this Board earnestly asks you to use your influence, to restore this time to the proper appropriation bill. The cause of training leaders for the ten millions of Negroes of the United States will suffer serious injury if this be not done. FRANK TRUMBULL, JULIUS ROSEWALD, Committee. The following telegram in reference to the above matter was received from Senator Frank S. White; Booker T. Washington, Esq. Tunkegee Institute, Alabama. Am pleased to say,届 of $101- 000. Howard University has been restored to the appropriation bill on the floor of the Senate. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EXPOSITION VISITORS Special to the New SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 2—To save Negro visitors to the Exposition from humiliating sentences in the hote- tels, by many of the best resi- tences have been opened for their accom- pilation. Ample preparations have been made, and the railroad association, or Red Cap porters, will attend to the domiciling of Negro visitors in the finely appointed limos of San Francisco's best.

St. Augustine, Fla., March 2—Thirty years ago the particular part of St. Augustine that is now most noted was nothing but a marshy mud land. The genius and wealth of a Flagler transformed it into the most valuable and beautiful spot now in its confines. Tis the place where stand the Ponce de Leon, the most famous hostelry the country possessed at the time of its construction, also the Aleazar and Cordova, strong rivals in beauty and grandeur. A very attractive and clean city St. Augustine is, with its five thousand inhabitants. The summer nights are fanned by the breezes of the Atlantic and the winters are temperate and balmy. There are no manufacturing concerns of any calculable importance. There are simply trades and retailing enterprises that give employment to its industrial populace. About the Negro's endeavors and achievements here there is nothing extraordinary. Yet there are existent to a large degree the qualities of hospitality, loyalty, sturdiness, and a very vigorous religious sentiment among our people that have given rise to many interesting conditions. Some Individual Achievements. The biggest and most honored celebrity here is a doctor of medicine in the person of Daniel W. Roberts. He was graduated from Howard College of Medicine, Chicago, in 1896. Came here to practice the following year, and ever since the Ancient City has claimed him as her own. An efficient physician and surgeon is he who lives with the scientific spirit of the times. Perhaps there isn't a surgeon anywhere who has been more liberal minded and thorough in his practice. He seems to have adopted the motto that graduation meant beginning instead of completion of knowledge, and consequently has so stimulated and increased it that he enjoys the implicit confidence of both white and colored people in this community. He has by far the largest practice in the city and is a man who loves his work. He has construed a strictly modern sanitarium, which he himself maintains, in order that he may perfect his service to his patients. It can be truthfully said that he approximates the ideal that a large number of our physicians need to adopt—a high standard of efficiency, and a proper business and moral adjustment to the public. Drs.' Smith and Welters, pharmacist and dentist respectively, and Mr. Chaires, principal of the Junior High School, together with Dr. Roberts, form the professional class of the community. Dr. Smith is a product of the community and the one in whom it feels an especial pride. He began twelve years ago as an errand boy for the white firm of Stephen & Speer. He so demonstrated his integrity and thrift there that he rose from that menial position to the entire management of a branch store. He took his time to the main store he schooled himself in the College of Pharmacy, Philadelphia, and was graduated in 1910. What a fine proof this is of the fact that where there is a will and worth, in due time it merits its own sufficient reward in spite of all we may say or do against it. Dr. E. A. Walters, graduate of the Dental College of Meharry, came here some six years ago as the banner student of his class. An especially energetic and progressive individual is he, of very strong determination. "The entire community, Lotus, white and colored, have been ramified with evidences of his godfulness in all the manners of dentistry. Not in the entire Southland is there a more completely equipped office or one where more modern methods are used. He has even gone beyond the ordinary routine of the dentist, and by special study has placed upon the market a tooth powder which is every day proving its superior claims to many others hacked by heavily capitalized institutions. Community Efficiency. Thus this is a community blessed with efficiency on the part of its professional ment. They have won the support of the people here by their preparedness. They have never found it necessary to pander to race prejudice to get their service accepted at large among the people. Besides many landowners who own their home sites, there are some who are owners on much larger scales. William Martin stands at the head of them all. Then there are Messrs. McMullen, Amos Phillips, Mayes and James, the undertaker. These men stand ready to hack any enterprise which the conditions may indicate as needful. They now have on foot plans which, when carried out, will make the people distributors of everything for their home consumption. Through the co-operation of the masses and the leaders many of the race celebrities have been brought, to this town, furnishing intellectual treats for all the people, and being greeted by large and appreciative audiences. "Among recent visitors have been, the Rev. M. C. B. Mason, who lectured on "Napoleon at Waterloo," the Rev. John E. Ford, pastor of the Baptist Institutional Church atJacksonville, and the Rev. C. T. Walker, the noted pulpit orator, pastor of Tahernabee Institutional Baptist Church, Augusta, Ga., whose lecture was on "The Second Emancipation." A return lecture by Dr. Walker has already been arranged for by the leading business man of St. Augustine. Our public school is called the Junior High School. Just a few years back, it was only the graded school, but the un- VICIOUS PICTURE FILM CONDEMNED BY CENSORS "Birth of a Nation," Based on Dixon's Clansman, Outrageous Production AN APPEAL TO PASSIONS Dr. Spingarn and Others of Advancement Association Secured Action by the National Board of Censors—Board Rejects Entire 2nd Section of Film. Through the activities of Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the N. A., A. C. P., with other members of that organization, the National Board of Censors for movie plays has reversed its action of approval in the matter of the proposed picture play. "The Birth of a Nation." As the result of a private exhibition of the film on Monday night, at the Liberty Theatre, Forty-second street, the producers—were informed that the entire second part of the film was rejected, and certain objectionable scenes in the first part required to be modified. This picture play is based on Thomas Dixon's infamous look. "The Clansman", which, in a dramatized form, was barred from nearly every theatre in the country. According to Dr. Spingarina, who, with four other members of the N. A. A. C. P., was present by invitation at the private presentation on, Monday night, the picture scenes are more vicious and indecent than as portrayed in the book. The producer, D. W. Griffith, said to be a Virginian, is reported to have spent $100,000 in preparation of the film, and the first production was extensively advertised for Wednesday night, March 3. The National Board of Censors had already approved of it, and a duplicate film had been produced in Los Angeles, Cal., where the city authorities refused to interfere because of the Board of Censor's approval. The Board of Censors, after the presentation on Monday, held a special session, with Dr. Frederick C. Howe, chairman, presiding, and took up the matter of a reconsideration of its approval. Dr. Springarn was invited to appear and present objections to the film, after which, by a unanimous vote, the censors acted as above indicated. The board has no legal power, but its findings are accepted by eighty per cent of the moving picture producers, some cities having ordinances which prohibit the production of films not approved by the censors. An advance performance of the film was given in Washington, and it is reported that President Wilson and Chief Justice White were present and expressed approval. ABOUT THE NEGRO AND ADVERTISING In the issue of The Age for January 14, 1915, appeared a letter from Albon Lewis Holsey of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., in which he criticized certain alleged statements made by David G. Evans, advertising writer of the Curtis Publishing Co., Philadelphia, concerning national advertisers and the Negro. The statement, made by Mr. Evans appeared in the December number of Advertising & Selling Magazine. The letter from Mr. Holsey attracted wide attention and has called forth from the Advertising & Selling Magazine the declaration that Mr. Evans was "unfortunately misquoted." The quotation from Mr. Evans' remarks, as given in The Age by Mr. Holsey, was as follows: "The magazines automatically eliminate for the advertiser the unprofitable public literates, foreign-born and Negroes, because these are not included in the magazine reading class." The article appearing in the February number of Advertising & Selling Magazine, giving a corrected version of Mr. Evans' remarks, is as follows: SOME FACTS ABOUT WHAT THE NECRO RUXS AND READS 'In the Report of a recent meeting of the League of Advertising Women, which appeared in the December issue of Advertising and Selling Magazine under the caption, "The Case to a Nutshell for Various Media," David G. Evans, of the Curtis Publishing Company, was unfortunately misquoted as classifying Negroes with public Illiterates. What Mr. Evans' actually said, was: "The magazines automatically eliminate for the advertiser the unprofitable public—the illiterates in the native whites foreign born and Negroes." The misquotation stirred up a bit of feeling among the intelligent Nebrives of one A., A.L. of the Tuskegee Institute, Ala., wrote to The New York Age, a newspaper circulating largely, among colored people, in defense of his race, and in connection with his letter gives some interesting facts regarding the reading and buying habits of the Negroes of the South. We quote as follows: "Upon investigation in one Southern community was about 4,300. It was found that more than fifty copies of the Ladies' Home Journal came to colored people through the post office, showing that these people were actually paid-in-advance salaries. Through this same post office it was learned that other white masses, and pulp librarians, were educated, among them, the American, Collier's, Leslie's, Woman's Home Companion, Cosmopolitan and many others, including the Progressive Farmer." "It was also interesting to note that from this post office money orders are sent by colored people, to Womanatamers', Gimbel's, Franklin Shaw's, man's, Yantine's, Reubick & Co. Larkins and any number of other to other well-known magazine adverts." "For food, clothing, shoes, medical attention and drugs, farm, implements, amusements and luxuries, the Negro spends annually over $2,000,000,000, and of this fully 70 per cent, goes to white business houses. We venture to know that Poroskin underwear, Campbell's soups, Hirt, Schaffner & Marx clothing are well known to the average Negro as the average white man and they know these products because they read white magazines and newspapers."

ROBERT SMALLS OF S.C., DEAD National Character Dies In Beaufort After Years of Active Service HERO OF THE CIVIL WAR Seized Confederate, Steamer Planter, Escaping from Charleston Harbor in 1862, Delivering Vessel to Federals Was Made Captai in Federal Navy—Served with Distinction in State Legislature and in the United States Congress—Was Collector of Port. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE BEAUFORT, S. C., March 2.—On Tuesday, February 23, occurred the death of one of the race's most noted characters, General Robert 'Smalls, in his seventy-sixth year of age. He had been sick for about ten months at his home on Prince street, and all the members of the family were around the bedside when the end came. Born in Beaufort on April 5, 1839, he was a river pilot by profession. During the civil war he was used as pilot by the Confederates on a privateer, the Planter, which had been killed out as a gunboat. On May 13, 1852, Pilot Spalls took the Planter, which was being the special patch boat of General Ripley, the Confederate past commander at Charleston, from the wharf at which she was lying and carried her out of the Charleston harbor, under the Confederate guns, and delivered the vessel to Captain Nichols of the Federal ship Qnward, one of the fleet of Federal ships blockading Charleston harbor at the time. He was put in charge of the gunboat Crusader as pilot, serving also on the Planter, and was in charge of the vessels during many engagements with Confederate forces, both naval and land. He was pilot on board the monitor Keokuk when that vessel was struck ninety-six times in the attack on Fort Sumter on April 7, 1863, sinking the next morning, just after Smalls and the crew had been taken off. Saved Vessel When Captain' Deserted Post. In December, 1863, Smalls was on the deck of the Planter, which was being piloted by Captain Nickerson. While passing through Folly Island Creek the Confederate batteries at Segessionville opened a hot fire on the vessel. Nickerson deserted the pilot house and hid himself in the coal bunkers. When Smalls discovered that the captain had deserted the pilot house in a panic he took command of the boat and piloted her out of reach of the guns. For this feat he was promoted by General Gillmore, commanding the Department of the South, to the rank of captain and put in command of the Planter. He served in this capacity until the end of the war, the Planter, being used as a supply boat along the coast, and in September, 1866, he carried the boat to Baltimore, where she was put out of commission and sold. A bill was introduced into the Forty-seventh Congress "authorizing the resident to place Smalls on the Resident Life Naval Hospital did not pass on the ground that there was no precedent for placing a civilian on the retired list of the navy. Elected to Congress Returning to South Carolina in 1864, Captain Smalls was elected to the State Constitutional Convention and in 1868 he was elected to the State Legislature. He introduced the Homestead Act and Civil Rights Bill, securing the passage of the latter act. In 1870 he was elected to the Senate to fill the unexpired term EE SET a TLE OLS TE EE I OD IC CI RO URINE BSD TLE ATG A TIO TT ee OER EE Renae ae THU Sa eas : + ee ae enim.

Civilization, as it is represented in the South, that is in some portions of it, is well exemplified in the following newspaper clipping from the Atlanta "Constitution" of February 20: MYSTERIOUS KILLING OF NEGRO PHYSICIAN Dr. Oliver, White, Shoots Thompson, Colored, at Elberton, Ga. ELBERTON, Ga., Feb. 19—In a mysterious shooting in his office at Elberton, Ga, Dr. A. S. Oliver, a physician and prominent citizen, shot and killed Dr. J. P. Thompson, a Negro physician, Friday evening. No action has been taken by the police, it is said, but a statement from Oliver is awaited. No known reason for the shooting, which took place in the Oliver building, about 6 o'clock, has been assigned. The two men were alone at the time. Oliver retired to his home and could not be reached for a statement. Thompson was a Negro of considerable property. Dr. Oliver will probably make a public statement to-morrow setting forth the facts. It will be noted that in this case it is stated that no action has been taken by the police and that a statement from this alleged murderer, Oliver, is "awaited." It will be noted, also, that after the alleged murder, this man, Oliver, "retired" to his home and as the newspaper clipping states it, "could not be reached for a statement." What kind of a civilization is it that keeps an alleged murderer from being reached by the police? This man was due to be yanked off to the police station instead of being permitted to retire to his home. The murders of black people throughout the South cry for vengeance. The Lord will certainly repay. THE ALIEN LABOR LAW. The law which forbade alien labor on public works and which has been a dead letter so many years has been put into effect. It means that no one who is not a native or naturalized American citizen can be employed on any public work in this state. The result has been the discharge of some 10,000 alien workmen from employment on the new subways being constructed. This attitude of the President, has, of course, alienated the Negro; and, as little as the Democratic leaders may think, it has also alienated a great many white people who have no particular regard for the Negro, but who believe in fair play. Another evidence of the transformation which President, Wilson has undergone in public estimation is that his gems of epigram, which a couple of years ago were accepted as utterances of oracular wisdom, have now resulted in fastening upon him the reputation of being a mere maker of fine phrases. The contractors have sent out a call for American laborers, but it seems that the answers are not many or loud. Colored men, with very few exceptions, are native American citizens, and so they are fully qualified under the law to get and hold these jobs. It would be an exceptionally good thing if the building of the new subways could be finished with Negro labor. From the great mass of legislation enacted under the present Administration only one piece stands out favorably, and that is the Federal Reserve Bank System. But the Democrats cannot be given exclusive credit for that, for the System is only a development of the plan first conceived by Senator, Nelson W. Mdrich. Nor can the Federal Reserve System be given entire credit for the success which it has attained; that success is due in a large measure to our great export balances caused by the war. The Democratic party went into power on a pledge of economy, and has made a record of extravagance. We are at peace, and yet we have a war tax; the question naturally arises as to what burdens would be placed upon us if we were actually at war. Moreover, in spite of new corporation taxes, a new income and a war tax, the country faces a deficit of between $80,000,000 and $100,000,000 at the end of the fiscal year. PARAGRAPHS Witch doctors have been reaping a harvest among the Italians of East New York; some families have paid from $10 to $100 for protection. Such a thing happening among Negroes in Louisiana or Haiti would be cited as proof of racial inferiority. Superstition is simply a product of ignorance. If JACK JOHNSON is as wily as the literary contingent of the prize-fighting fraternity, declare him to be, he will never tell the way to Mexico be; any shorter than it is to, Tipperary. A correspondent to the New York Sun points out that President Watsen encountered a great deal of opposition to his Shipping Bill, but that he would have been backed up by the amanuimous approval of the country had he been Shipping Bill, Bryan. it has achieved a much more damaging result. It takes no gift of cleavage to discern that there has grown up in the country a deep conviction than no matter what might do for the separate states, the country as a whole is more prosperous under a Republican than under a Democratic administration. This conviction is not confined to the North and West; and it is the hardest thing the Democrats will have to go up against in 1916. Perhaps, after all, no better could be expected. The party has very few men of national height and breadth and experience. The leaders lack experience because, as Elihu Root once said, they get such little practice. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN AND THE CLANSMAN. Ten or twelve days ago the New York dailies printed a despatch from Atlanta, Ga., which stated that a theatrical company was forbidden to play the usual version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in that city. This action was taken on account of a protest made by some local organization. However, the play was changed and given the Arcadian title of "Old Plantation Days," the offensive parts, were expirigated, Simon Legree was transfigured into a sort of benevolent patriarch, Uncle Tom was made into a happy old darkey who greatly enjoyed being a slave, and who ultimately died of too much good treatment, and so, a performance was given that was, no doubt, a great success, and offended nobody's sensibilities. All of which is very amusing. HOWARD UNIVERSITY AND ITS LESSON. The aim of education is to fit the young and developing minds for the better life. It seeks to foster in the men and women of tomorrow a love for God, and appreciation for work, a desire for independence and a constant striving after more knowledge. Be something, have something, do something, constitute the aim of education and the highest purpose of life. A few days later the New York dillies printed a despatch from Washington which stated that "The Birth of a Nation," a moving picture play founded on Thomas Dixon's novel, "The Clansman" had been given its initial performance at The White House. "The Clansman" did us much injury as a book, but most of its readers were those already prejudiced against us. It did us more injury as play, but a great deal of what it attempted to tell could not be represented on the stage. Made into a moving picture play it can do us incalculable harm. Every minute detail of the story is vividly portrayed before the eyes of the spectators. A big, degraded looking Negro is shown chasing a little golden-haired white girl for the purpose of outraging her; she, to escape him, goes to her death by hurling herself over a cliff. Can you imagine the effect of such a scene upon the millions who seldom read a book, who seldom witness a drama, but who constantly go to the "movies"? It is fitting then that the school itself should surround its students with Every inspirational environment that will tend to promote the development of those qualities which must ultimately prepare them for the life ahead. This play was passed by the Board of Censors, and is scheduled to open in one of the New York theatres this week. Due to the efforts of Prof. Joel E. Spingarm, the Board of Censors was induced to demand a second exhibition, and, as a result, its former approval was withdrawn. But the Board has no legal authority, and the producers can proceed without its approval; if they do, it will be up to the police. Prof. Spingarm deserves great credit, even if the steps he has already taken do not result in stopping the play. Howard. University is one of the landmarks of Negro-American civilization. Its influence has ramified into every community, in the nation and by reason of its well trained graduates, has created a healthy sentiment for the race. But this great institution, standing by itself in other respects, has failed to develop in itself one of the virtues which it has struggled so hard to implant in the race and that, is the desire for independence. Some years ago the Irish in this section of the country broke up every performance of a farce comedy called "McFadden's Flats," because in it Irishmen were represented wearing green whiskers and raising pigs in the parlor. Not long ago they stopped the dramas being performed by the Irish players from Ireland, because some of the characters were objectionable. But here comes a stupendous moving picture play that seriously attempts to hold the American Negro up before the whole country as a degraded brute, and further, to make him the object of prejudice and hatred. We, as law-abiding citizens, call upon the mayor and the police to see that the decision of the Board of Censors be sustained; that either the objectionable features be cut out or the production prohibited. Some days ago colored people throughout the country were aroused over a press despatch which stated that Congressman Sisson from Mississippi—Vardaman's state, by the way—had caused the annual appropriation of $101,000 which has been given each year by Congress to Howard University, to be stricken from the Appropriation Bill and the matter had been tabled because of a technicality. Although the attempt has been practically frustrated through, the influence and efforts of friends of the school, it nevertheless raises the very serious question as to why the officers and trustees of this old and respected institution constantly jeopardize their work at Howard by depending entirely upon this annual expenditure for their means of subsistence. Howard University's complacent dependence upon the government for support has become a by-word in educational circles. "Dependent and contented" expresses the estimation of Howard by the thinking men and women of the race. That this attempt to cripple Negro education is unjust and rancorous and that it is but another vagary of "the South in the Saddle" does not in any manner excuse the officers of Howard for keeping the school in this awkward and vulnerable situation of dependence upon the whims of Congress. Let the 100,000 colored citizens of this city stand united and determined to see that this picture shall not be produced in such a manner as will misrepresent and vilify us as a race. TWO YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC RULE The Sixty-third Congress has adjourned. This marks the end of the first two years of the Wilson Administration. The end of these two years is far different from their beginning. March 13, 1913, was marked by a feeling of enthusiasm and hope on the part of the whole country. By degrees that enthusiasm has subsided and that hope has died. In these two years the Democratic party has attempted a great deal, it has done much, but it has accomplished very little. The common sentiment of the country to-day is that it has failed. It may retrieve itself by 1916; but if President Wilson had to come up this fall for re-election, there is no doubt that he would be defeated. The causes for this steady decline in prestige are many. The course pursued in Mexico by the President was the first thing to weaken the country's faith in his judgment. The series of astounding blunders committed by the Administration, leading up to the futile killing at Vera Cruz of 200 Mexicans and 19 Americans, are beyond comprehension. The defense made of his Mexican policy by the President in his Jackson Day speech only increased the bewilderment. Besides, Mr. Wilson has made his administration not only partisan, but he has made it sectional; that is, he has not only made it Democratic, but he has made it strictly Southern. McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft were each of them President of the whole nation in a far fuller degree than Wilson seems able to be. Previous to his election he was looked upon as the philosopher and scholar in politics, and an administration of breadth and magnanimity was looked for from him; his narrowness has been a distinct disappointment to a large part of the country. Mr. Wilson is the first President who has openly and officially endorsed discrimination as between citizens of the United States on account of race. His attitude toward the Negro is one that would not have been expected or asked for by the liberal minded white element of the South; instead, he chose to please those who make a profitable business out of "keeping the Negro down." It is most undignified for the president and officers of Howard University to be compelled to act as lobbyists to secure the money for its existence and it is unfair to the colored race which they are seeking to serve to have the work of the school placed in this desperate condition once a year. The example is bad and the ultimate effect of the high-handed politics necessary to secure this money will finally have a tendency to lessen the influence and prestige of the school. Our college presidents, prompted by a desire for the independence of their schools, are struggling year in and year out to secure an endowment which will provide them a regular and certain income and it is to be hoped that the president of Howard will profit by this year's experience and begin at once to put the work of the school before the country with the end in view of releasing the school from the bondage of lobbying and, the uncertainty which attends the present method of securing funds for its existence. Secretary Bryan has added considerable weight to the toboggan. His neglect of his office during the most critical times, in order to lecture around the country—at so much per lecture—his disorganization of the diplomatic service and his activities as a mere spoilsman have not tended to increase respect for the Administration. To this must be added his penchant for pouring out rhetorical bombast when facts and figures are wanted; as, for example, when he said, in speaking on the subject of national defense, that the President could issue a call at sunrise and the sun would go down on a million men in arms. Several other members of the cabinet have vied with Mr. Bryan. ATLANTA, GA. Albina, Gn. Moehouse College and its alumni last week. Dr. Alexander Jackson, of Duluth, Texas, A. T.

THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1918. --- IN the New York Sun of February 27 the following item of news helped to make the sporting page illuminating as well as humorous: Capt Cushman A, Rice of Havana, the Cuban sportman who will become president of the new National Sporting Club of Cuba, arrived in New York last night. When seen at the Army and Navy Club Capt. Rice said: "Things have stirred a bit since I came away. Jack Johnson landed the day I departed. Now let me say for myself as well as every man of means on the island that a bout between Jack Johnson and Jess Willard" will not be tolerated for a single moment. "The race question is too delicate a subject to ever allow a white man to battle with a Negro. Our Interests are too valuable to allow the flames of race feeling to be fanned into a riot. I will leave for Cuba in a day or so and if I find that they propose to pitch a battle ground for the pair I will rally all the powerful interests at my command to fight the proposition. "We want boxing there, but never will we tolerate mixed bouts. Two colored men can fight it out to their heart's content, so can the whites, but mixed—well even the President will frown on that. "The Cuban Negro doesn't want it, so why should we. He's a different sort of an individual from your Negro of the South. Whites and blacks fought side by side against Spain for their ideas. He's also a friend of the French down here. He votes and he votes as often as he can, which is not unlike a lot of voters I know. "But never Johnson and Willard. There will be tremendous opposition to that. We don't, want any civil war, and that's what it would mean if a black started to muss up a white man. I can see that. But no, I won't fight McVey or Langford. Let him have a battle royal if he wants, but not the other." "Our colored man is a superior one. You can tell him to get a move on in the fields: he'll either quit or stick a knife in you. You know they went into their own office to give a government of their own about three years ago and we had to go out and shoot them. We don't want that. We don't intend to do anything that would put the idea in their heads again." If the information I have at hand is correct Cuba is a country whose colored population greatly exceeds the white population. If this be true Capt. Cushman A. Rice should be promptly awarded a brass medal for unadulterated nerve and effrontery. Then a ribbon of some color should be handed him for his amusing attempt to let the white Americans know what his ideas are on the Cuban race question and at the same time jolly along the Cubans of darker hue so that they take no offense should they read his acrobatic musings. Capt. Cushman A. Rice has opened our eyes as to conditions as they exist in Cuba to-day. Not many years ago color prejudice was unknown in that country, but as is invariably the case, the invasion of Americans, with their contagious notions of the color question, has inflamed the whites against the blacks. If a "delicate race question" exists in Cuba to-day it is because white Americans have been mainly responsible in making it so. Sooner or later Capt. Cushman A. Rice (I am unaware of his birthplace) and others will learn that "the flames of race feeling" are being gradually "fanned into a riot" by those of his inflated mental sort, and that their color line propaganda is responsible for the disastrous results that are inevitable. Capt. Cushman A. Rice should show consistency by proclaiming in the American press that white and black Cubans should not play on the same baseball teams as they are wont to do, and that the big league teams should not meet the black Cuban players on the diamond as is the case every winter. Capt. Cushman A. Rice's exhibition of his knowledge of the Negro in the South would savor of comedy-were it not that his ignorance was so complete. It is evident that he does not know that thousands of Southern Negroes fought in the Civil War to free this country from the curse of slavery and "for their ideas of liberty." It is difficult for me to believe that the Cuban Negro's "ideas of liberty" are the same as when he fought against Spain, else he would not, with his numerical strength, tolerate the drawing of the color line in Cuba by Capt. Cushman A. Rice and his species. Capt. Cushman A. Rice crudely shows his hand and unconsciously points out clearly just why he is opposed to mixed bouts in Cuba when he says: "Our colored man is a superior one. You can tell him to get a move on in the fields; he'll either quit or stick a knife, in you. You know they went off into the woods to run a government of their own three years ago and we had to go out and shoot them. We don't want that. We don't intend to do anything that would put the idea in their heads again." It appears that the host of feeling will prevail in Cuba so long as the Cuban Negro remains docile, quiescent, apathetic, inconspicuous, indifferent to what goes on about him and in humility shows to the desires and opinions of such men as Capt. Cushman A. Rice. But don't let him show a spirit of independence and demand his manhood rights. There's just written the shop will pitch! That's just where the shoe will pinch! THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

ORBAN LEAGUE BENEFIT On Wednesday evening, March 24, the Williams' Colored Singers of Chicago will appear at Manhattan Casino for the benefit of the Boys' Camp of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the neighborhood work of the Utopia Neighborhood Club. These singers have been together for ten years, and are well trained persons whose unbelievable voices have won praise from leading critics in America and Europe. The troupe consists of G. L. Johnson, first tenor; C. P. Williams, second tenor and comedian; J. H. Johnson, baritone; musical director; J. S. Crabble, basso; Mme. Virginia Greene, prima donna; Mme. Annie Hackley, soprano; Mme. Clara K. Williams, contralto, and Mme. Hattie F. Johnson, pianist. The Boys' Camp of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes in September closed its fourth season with the largest attendance of any year of its existence. It accommodated 193 boys at a total cost of $985. Altogether more than $4,000 has been expended by the league in equipping and maintaining this camp. In raising this money it has had the co-operation of the St. Philip's P. E. Church, the Tribune Fresh Air Fund, Lafayette Theatre, Negro-Fresh Air Committee, the Church of the Epiphany, Orange. N. J., and many individuals and other local organizations. The Utopia Neighborhood Club daring the last year has assisted many families by donating groceries, clothing, medicines and other necessities of life.

WHITE) THE student in voice culture who attended the David Bispigh recital Sunday afternoon at the Music School Settlement was given an object lesson never to be disregarded in the value of laying right foundations and building up a voice along right methods. It will not sow love long David Bispigh has known before the band public as a singer, but it has been a good many years, and to-day he stands, white-haired though he be, as the leading concert baritone in America. I had nearly said the world for that is what I believe. Mr. Bjismph's voice possesses all the virility and charm which characterized it in his younger days, and the absolute purity of its pitch and timbre is marvelous when you consider the amount of work he has accomplished. It is not my idea to attempt a critical analysis of the recital—what I want to do is to direct attention of the ambitious, student in singing to the importance of beginning right and in pursuing a course as will lead to healthy artistic development. Too many of the singers of the race are satisfied with superficial training and stop with the process of developing the voice while the voice is yet immature and unfinished. The result is that after a few years of concert or stage work the charm and beauty of the voice is lost. There are a few conspicuous exceptions among the other singers—meaning no invidious comparison from standpoint of age, since I am referencing only to the time given to public work. Mme. Selika, Harry Burleigh, Mme. Hackley and Sidney Woodward are artists whose years of artistic life are attributable directly, to the fact that they'gave loyal application in the beginning of their apprenticeship to a tutorage which laid a foundation along correct lines, and thus built up an enduring voice edifice. In presenting Blislamism, therefore, the Bool School, and J. Rosamond Johnson, gave to its supporters, students and friends an object lesson of one of the very things it is striving to accomplish. The course of work laid down by Mr. Johnson and his faculty, if faithfully followed, will produce in the end artists who will vie with David Bispham—if not in the cherished history of actual accomplishment, at least in the consciousness of ability to accomplish well and capably the ideals of artistic ambition. Rosamond Johnson has accomplished many things in the few years that lay behind him, but all that he has done will fade away into insignificance if he succeeds in the future in developing a singer of the race entitled to rank in the Bispham class of singers—an artist who knows how to achieve and who does achieve as the result of right principles rightly applied. It was a revelation to the auditors to discover that Mr. Bispham's histrionic ability was in no wise overshadowed by his distinguished musical attainment. His program embodied selections from German, English and American composers, and embraced examples from the opera, oratorio, musical drama, descriptive and ballad schools. He concluded with a reading of Longfellow's beautiful poem, "King Robert of Sicily," with an accompanying musical attribution to Rossetter G. Cole. This was a wonderful rendition, portraying the range of human passion from arrogant assertion of power to humble submission to the Divine Will. Each number was prefaced by a short description, aptly and concisely given, which contributed largely to the understanding and enjoyment of the program. Of special interest were the numbers, "Orpheus With His Lute," a Shakespearean sonnet set to music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, and sung in this country only by Mr. Bispham; "The Pirate Song," by H. P. Gilbert, the words of which are the celebrated "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest," by Robert Louis Stevenson, and a song in manuscript written for Mr. Bispham by George Chadwick Stock, "Route Marching," the words by Kipling. The accompaniments were played by Woodruff Rogers, who gave to Mr. Bispham capable and efficient support. Mr. Rogers is an artist of no mean proportions, and while his work was new to the Music School Settlement, he enjoys a well-earned reputation in New York's music circles. To the already very full-program two numbers were added by the string quartet of the school, composed of Felix Fowler Weir, first violin; Joseph E. Lymas, second violin; W. Hall Johnson, viola, and H. Leonard Jeter, cello. This was the first public appearance of the quartet, and their work ranks them in the highest class of exponents of chamber music. Both in part and ensemble playing was their work of merit. With additional practice and experience will come a freer swing and whatever of stiffness was evident in the first appearance will soon be eliminated. The program was as follows: BY DAVID BISPHAM. Air—"Where're You Walk," from the old opera, "Semele," by Handel. Air—"I'm a Roamer," from Mendels. Air—"I'm a Roamer" from Mendelssohn's poems "Sat and Stranger." sohn's opera, "Son and Stranger," Song—"Two Grenadiers," by Schumann, Aria—"Orpheus With His Lute," by Sir Arthur Sullivan. From Bohemian Club Grove Music Dramas: (a) Prologue from "Atonement of Pan," by Dr. Henry Hadley. (b) Song of Flipt, from "The Crayfish," by William J. McCoy.

Both acts have been seen at the Lafayette before and registered big hits. The well known comedian appeared as headliner at the Lafayette last summer, and it has been about a year since Downs & Gomez entertained Harlemites with their high class singing act. The bill the first half of the week was up to the standard. Allen & Wiggins were the big noise and scored strongly. This act is full of good comedy, good dancing and good music. The team has an offering which is bound to be booked on one of the well known vaudeville circuits before many weeks have passed. Grant & Rector made a favorable impression in their terpsichorean specialty, giving an artistic exhibition of the Modern Dances. As a graceful dancer Grant continues to show improvement. The Orton & Warren Troupe, wire walkers, performed some stunts that aroused the patrons to a high pitch of excitement. Some act, "Detective Ridgway," a sketch produced by four actors of some hirionic ability, invited more than ordinary interest as did Oberita & Girls in a spectacular and original turn. Allen & Wiggins have been held over and will top the bill the second half of the week. The management will spring something new on the public Friday evening of this week when, in addition to country store nights, held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings, a Turkish night will be staged on which-occasion forty valuable pieces of Turkish tapestry, rugs, etc., will be given away. Boston Team Will Play in New York. On Friday night, March 19, Madden's Incorporators will meet the famous Gladiators of Boston, Mass., at Manhasset, New York. The Gladiator A. A. basketball team is the undisputed champion team of New England, having defeated such strong teams as the East Boston A. A. Five, once the world's champions and the champions of the United States Navy, at Battleship Virginia, a team that has not been defeated for three years. LINCOLN GIANTS LINEUP. The famous Lincoln Giants, world's colored champions, will play again in the field this season and will play all home games at Olympic Field, 130th street and fifth avenue, as heretofore. The team will be practically the same as last year with the following lineup: Pitchers, Redding and Williams, catchers, Wiley and Santop; first base Grant; second base, James; shortstop Wallace; third base, Taylor; left field Some of the players who will appear will be Edward Betts, the great forward, who played on the Titon Academy team, which held the state championship in 1985. Moore of the family of Moores of Lynn, Mass., who played for the Lynn Y. M. C. A. before joining the "Gladiators;" Charles Neuman, the star from the West Roxbury High School, who helped win the interscholastic championship of the Y. M. C. schools; Harry Grey of the Newton Y. M. C. A., who played on the Y. M. C. A. team and helped to make it the champion of the Y. M. C. A. league, which it has held for four years; Dan Connelly, the greatest forward in New York, who played on the Exeter Academy team and on Robert Booker of Tufts. To line up against this aggregation of stairs, Madden will send the cream of his squad to uphold the name of the famous "Incorporators". Among the notables invited as guests of honor are Robert Kessler, former attorney-general of the United States, William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Mass. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue and William C. Matthews of Boston, Mass., assist at U. S. District Attorney, famous in athletics at Harvard University, and who now coaches the Gladiator basketball team. It is easily seen that Friday night, March 19, will be another basketball classic. About the St. C.'s in Philadelphia. To the Sporting Editor of The Age: Noticing in your paper an account of the M.C. basketball game of March 20, we desire to suggest a few corrections. The Y. M. C. A. was unfavorably misrepresented in some of the statements. The public should know that the game was played under Eastern League, A. U. and Eastern League, St. Christopher played under the former in the first half and won out 17-9, as they were more familiar with these rules. The second half was played under Eastern League, A. U. and Eastern League, St. Christopher seemed totally ignorant, although they were forwarded an official book well in advance. It was in this half that St. Christopher committed so many fouls. They would have been fouls under any rules, since they were mainly for holding and charging. The writer also stated that four points were awarded the Y. M. C. A. team, when really only two points were awarded during the entire game; one to each team. The referee made just decisions and stood by them, while St. Christopher's captain was very tall. The call came up or questioned decisions. Withal, the spectators were satisfied with the game, but they regretted to see a team take defeat so hard. We sincerely hope that the next contest between these teams will be above question, since they seem to be well matched. (Signed) WM. J. FAULKNER, Manager, Southwest Branch Y. M. C. A. Basketball Team, Philadelphia, Pa. The handsome trophy, a silver cup, offered by the Hamilton Lodge, 710, G. U. O. O. F., was won by the St. Christopher "machine" on Friday evening, February 26, at Manhattan Casino, when the basketball team from the parish house defeated the Salem Crescent team 41 to 16. The kind of basketball presented was below the average, neither team playing up to form. The Salem Crescent team was handicapped by the spacious Manhattan court, being accustomed to a smaller court. Added to this was her inability to shoot baskets when having opportunities. During the first half McClain, Salem Crescent's forward, with plenty, of time and an unguarded basket, missed five shots for a field goal. The guarding of the Salems was good. Several times, especially in the first part of the game, were the famous passes of the "machine" broken up. St. Christopher, played well enough to win the game, but she was guilty of some bad passing and inaccurate goal shooting. Lowry being the greatest offender in this department. A. Dash, the star of Clinton High School basketball team and a member of the Alpha A. C. referred a commendable game. His work was satisfactory to both teams. The lineup: St. Christopher—Lowry and Rose, forwards; Brad, center; J. Jenkins and Robbins, guards. Salem Crescent—McClain and Thomas, forwards; La Bee, center; Artope and Dudly, guards. Substances—St. Christopher, C. Jenkins and Capers; Salem Crescent, Goocham and Letwitch. Refree, A. Dash. 88. Messrs.

The Anchor Giants baseball club of Philadelphia is arranged to play a series of games this summer with the Atlantic City Giants. WITH THE BOWLERS The bowling contest for the championship five-men teams is one and every Thursday night you can see Boyd, Anderson, Booker, Bridges, Stockett, Trice and the rest of the top-liners knocking them off at the Lafayette alleys. The three teams, Alpha, Speedwell and Avon, are as bowling for the championship, seem pretty evenly matched. With the exception of Glasco, on the Speedwell team, there are no new faces among the pit knights. Alpha was slow in getting started, but has its ups and downs and should cut down the Speedwell and Avon lead. While the Avon team is holding its own, it is not as strong as last year, for the men don't seem to get together when they should. But they are such strong finishers they can be depended upon to make it very interesting. The Speedwells, who won the high team average last season, is the runner-up this year as usual, and when they get going right the other teams will have to keep on tiptoes to even hold them in sight, for they are all that their name means. The Speedwells won the first leg on the trophy which the clubs are bowling for year before last, and the Avons won a leg last year. Thursday night's scores were as follows: Alpha Club.

So what values land will rise in RICHLAND, "The New City"; in the Century with its unlimited railroad facilities and other great advantages in existence; when it has developed and grown into a large industrious We have all read with great interest the deal made by our forefathers in 1676 for the purchase of Manhattan Island from the Indians for the very nominal consideration of $24.00. In 1915 certain interests got together and purchased "RICHLAND," N. J. (the property of the Industrial Land Improvement Company), which with its surrounding properties is as large as Manhattan Island. Lots on Manhattan Island are today selling from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. The Astors, Goelets, Wendells and other multi-millionaires made their fortunes buying Manhattan real estate in its early stages. They used foresight and good judgment and have profited by same. To what values land will rise in RICHLAND, "The New City"; in the 20th Century with its unlimited railroad facilities and other great advantages now in existence; when it has developed and grown into a large industrious City, WELL! time will tell and any sensible person can judge for himself. But we can safely say it will not require the time it took Manhattan Island to develop into the biggest metropolis in this country, as we do not have to go through all the dangers and hardships and thousands of disadvantages which our forefathers were confronted with. We do not have to depend upon the old-fashioned oxen team and stage coach as a means of travel. Nor do we have to be afraid of attacks or running a chance of being scaled and hearing the war whoop. We have the advantage of all the attainments of the 20th Century; and the finest railroads in the world with trains running by our door continually. You can do your day's work in the big City of Philadelphia and reach your home and family in less than an hour. After supper you can spend the evening in Atlantic City. Within a short distance of RICHLAND is located the beautiful, prosperous farming and manufacturing town of Vineland known all over. The place grew from barren, uncultivated land into one of the most prosperous communities in South Jersey. You meet farmers at Vineland who will tell you they started with a few hundred dollars and are now worth $50 000. EASTON. PA. COLUMBUS MISS Columbus, Miss.—The residence of Geo.
