Valuable Advice. In Philadelphia last Friday an interesting address was made by Dr. Wm. B. Griggs at the Children's Homeopathic Hospital, when he spoke to thirty Negro mothers at a mothers' clinic. Dr. Griggs devoted his remarks to the danger of disease germs at this season of the year, and gave the mothers a special warning concerning the handling and care of straw milk. He cautioned against leaving to baby's milk uncovered or of putting it into unclean vessels. He advised strongly the use of the mother's breast, but when that was impossible he declared that the best substitute was cow's milk, properly prepared. The cow's milk, he said, was free from the dangerous and useless ingredients which are contained in the so-called baby foods. Mothers all over the country are treating that baby's health can be controlled and safeguarded by proper precaution and care. In this connection, the following letter from the parents of the infant eugenic babies born in Winterset is on interest. The mother and father were subjected to the eugenic examination required by the laws of that state which they passed. The babies are twins and their pictures are shown in the issue. The letter reads: We are sending the photo of our twins, the first eugenic babies born in the State of Wisconsin, mother and father both having passed the eugenic examination. The babies are the finest and healthiest twins seen here. They are 24 months old and weigh 22 pounds apiece. And have never been sick a day." As will be seen from the reproduction of the photo the babies bear physical (Confirmed on page 5.) The New York Age SUPREME LODGE EXPELS VIRGINIA GRAND LODGE John Mitchell, Jr., Losing Fight in Pythian Supreme Lodge Is Found Guilty CASE PENDING IN COURTS Supreme Chancellor Green Upheld After Grand Chancellor Mitchell Had Been Given An Opportunity To Present His Side—The Case Is Before United States Court at Washington. (Staff Correspondence.) Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 24.—What is called the finest meeting in the history of Negro Pythianism, and what was certainly the finest demonstration this city ever saw, closed here Saturday midnight, after much legislation, and after the supreme lodges, acting upon the recommendation of the committee of the whole, had revoked the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, and found John Mitchell, Jr., guilty of rebellion. While the session was not a stormy one, it was one of great interest, and often the discussions were animated. One of the memorable scenes was enacted when John Mitchell, Jr., received as a friend, after the supreme lodge had recovered its symbols, was invited to state his side of the celebrated controversy. The supreme lodge listened to him with respect, and then decided that he was wrong and that Supreme Cancellor Green was right. The findings of the Supreme Lodge does not, however, change the status of the litigation now pending in the District of Columbia courts. 5,000 Pythian Soldiers in Camp. The encampment proper tented more than 5,000 Pythian soldiers, and it is estimated that 15,000 visitors went out to see them. Gov. Wallis, who made a hit on the opening night in his welcome address, delivered before a great multitude, reviewed the soldiers, and said that the day was an inspiration to him. The daily press of the city declared that the parade was the greatest sight that this city of parades ever saw. Led by Gen. R. R. Jackson, his staff, and the famous 8th regiment band of Chicago, the parade was witness to 100,000 people. The entire city, including the banks, city hall, state house, and the white hotels and big department stores, were decorated. The report of S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, was the most detailed paper that ever came before the supreme body, the report of Dr. E. E. Underwood, supreme keeper of records and seal, was entirely satisfactory. Joel L. Jones, supreme chancellor, and by virtue of that office supreme worthy counsellor of the Courts of Calanthe, showed in his address that more than $20,000 had passed through his office since the last meeting, and that through a systematic campaign 15,000 new members had been added to the rolls. The supreme court unanimously asked for his retention, and with Pythian gallantry the supreme lodge granted the request. Supreme Chancellor Green Re-elected. Recceiving the endorsement of every State in the jurisdiction, Supreme Chancellor Green was returned to his station by acclamation. All the officers, except the Pythian Commission, were re-elected by unanimous vote. Dr. U. G. Mason of Birmingham might have been elected supreme medical register, but he declined in favor of Dr. J. H. Ward, the present incumbent. The supreme lodge refused to order a new tax to build a national temple in Chicago, although the representatives voted to continue the supreme lodge tax of ten cents this being necessary for the operation of the Supreme Lodge. The supreme attorney, S. A. T. Watkins, brought forth cheers when he reported that all lawsuits begun by white Pythians to deprive colored Pythians of their name and symbols, had been ended months ago on motion of the parties beginning the suits. The exercises on the opening night were marked not only by a great audience, but also by the happy remarks of Mayor Karth who came 500 miles to welcome the knights, the eloquent address made by Gov. Frank Winds, who said that Ohio would never be Massachusetts or Alabama but would remain free ground for all races, and the responses by prominent visitors, particularly by the able address delivered by Wilford, H. Smith of New York in response to the mayor. In the Virginia matter, and in many others, Mr. Smith led the administration forces. 337.000 Men and Women in Order. During the last two years, aside from $25,000 that passed through the office of the supreme chancellor for lodges under the jurisdiction the grand loman had $50,000 in endowment fund according to verified reports. There are now $20,000 Negro Paymans and $20,000 memorials of the Courts of Calanthe. The officers as re-elected are S. W. Warren of New Orleans supreme chancellor, Jos. L. Jones of Ocunamat, supreme vice chancellor, the Rev. A H. Newton of New Jersey supreme prelate; Dr. E. E. Underwood supreme keeper of records and seals; John H. Young of Arkansas, supreme master of exchequer, George A. Watty of Maryland, supreme master at arms, L. M. Mitchell of Texas, supreme lecturer, S. A. T. Wackins of Chicago supreme attorney, Dr. L. H. Ward of Inmanah supreme medical register; J. C. Lattie of North Carolina, supreme inner guard; Henry James of Florida, supreme outer guard.

The city of St. Louis was unamously selected as the next place of meeting and amusement in 1917, after the claims of that town were presented by Chas. Brown. In adopting a resolution introduced by Ernest G. Tidrington, grand chancellor of Indiana, the supreme lodge pledged its uniform rank department to the service of the country in the event that war should ever overtake us.

ONLY FOURTEEN RACES EXCEED NEGROES IN NUMBER In His Annual Address, Dr. Washington Emphasizes the Race's Opportunities and Quotes Figures to Show Race's Material Progress During Past Fifteen Years-Value of Negro Farm Property Given as $1,142,000,000-Tribute to Fellow Officers Special to THE NEW YORK AGEN. BOSTON, MASS., Aug. 25.—On Wednesday night, August 18, Symphony Hall, at Huntington and Massachusetts avenues, was packed to its corridors, the attraction being the annual address of Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business League, and the address of welcome to the members of that organization by his excellency, Governor David I. Walsh. Also, the Rev. John E. White, of the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., was to speak on "The Negro and the New South." As told in last week's AGE, William H. Lewis, former assistant United States attorney, delivered a welcome address on behalf of the business and professional men and women of Boston and vicinity during the Wednesday morning session. Mr. Lewis aroused enthusiastic applause when he declared that fifteen years ago, when the league was organized in Boston, he had been one of the scoffers and doubters, but that time had shown him the wisdom of Dr. Washington's plans and had brought him to the support of the movement. Mr. Lewis' address was as follows: Mr. President and members of the National Negro Business League. I count it no little honor to have been deemed worthy of addressing a few brief words of congratulation and welcome to the greatest Negro organization in America, and therefore in the world today. I am told that this is the seventh anniversary of your fifteen years' organization, a thing striking enough in itself, but being judged from your marvelous growth and far reaching influence, you have lived fifty years in the past fifteen. I do not wish my fellow citizens have chosen me for this honor, except to heap coals of fire upon my head. Fifteen years ago, I was not with you. I was one of the critics, one of the scaffers, and one of those who asked: 'What is it all about?' 'What was an amount to? You have lived to confute my judgment and shame my smears, and I am now making generous acknowledgment of my error. I claim to not mind in doing this, except that I in bed backward as far as your great leader can look forward. Booker Washington has always been from fifteen to twenty years ahead of any other leader of his race. The old Boston idea was that the business of life was the making of men, freedom of men, high-minded men. Emphasis was laid upon religious freedom, high scholarship and individual liberty. The weapons of her statesmen and reformers were abatition and moral sanction. The idea gave Boston the intellectual primacy of America in cities. Those of us living in this atmosphere and environment in trying to help solve the problems of our race naturally felt that there was no other way except agitation. "Business Makes Men." Fortunately came along a man with the courage and conviction of a re-roarer. I said "Business makes men." And the Business League sprung forth like Minerva, full armed from the head of Jove. As I look into your faces this morning I am certain that this business does more men, self-respecting men, successful men who mark the progress of the race. While most of us were agonizing over the Negro relation to state and political fortunes, Booker Washington saw that there was a great economic empire that needed to be conquered. He say an emancipated race chained to the soil by the Mortgage Corp System, and other deities, and he said "You must steer your own land." You must own your own farms," and forthwith there was a second one on patron. He saw the industrial and skilled labor trades pass from our race into other hands. He said "The hands as well as the head must be educated," and forthwith was revolutionized the Educational System of America. He saw the money earned by the hard toll the black man pass into other men's PRICE FIVE CENTS MEN, SAYS LEWIS GRESS OF THE RACE the Renaissance of s of Men, Says U. S.

Lewis and Presi- EXCEED NEGROES IN NUMBER Washington Emphasizes the Race's figures to Show Race's Material in Years—Value of Negro Farm 1,000—Tribute to Fellow Officers save this money is to go into business; sell as well as buy." He saw that if the colored race was to become economically self-sufficient, it must engage in every form of human activity. Himself a successful business man, as shown by "Tuskegee's Millions," he has led his race to economic freedom. I know Dr. Washington deprecates praise to his face, but I want to say this during his lifetime, as I may not live to say it after his death. I want to say a word for your great organizer, Prof Chas. H. Moore, a man put out business, financial and political advance, his work and chose to follow the race of a remote ancestor. I believe, as the first colored graduate of Amherst College, his life work will tell for the race. The Renaissance of the Dark Races. You have met together in a wondrous year. It is the year of the Renaissance of the Darker Races of men. Europe is sutureting forth her hands to Africa and Asia for success and help. Black men of Africa, brown men of India and Japan are defending to preserve civilization in Europe, to maintain the supremacy of law as against a return to the moral chaos and rule of the Crown of the Middle Ages. I hear of despair on the Middle Ages superiority or inferiority of the races over there. The only question is, "Can he carry a gun?" The colored business men of America, like the other business men who deploy war and who try to preserve a strict neutrality, must do their own share towards furnishing munitions for that same purpose, even if it is nothing more than produce cotton. The present war shows also that there are other states whose civilization compares favorably with that of Liberia and Haiti the first, too proud to fight, and the latter, too proud not to fight. If the present administration in Washington, by eliminating all colored men from participation in the national government, but acted upon the principle that this is not an instrument by white men for all other men, the Supreme Court has said "That there shall not exist in this country an Aristocracy of Votes." The "Grandaddy Clause" is dead and we shed no tears. It presages a final acceptance of the Fifteenth Amendment that some have been charming to repeal. It is an omen of happy augury that the death blow to dismemberment was given by Chief Justice White, unsealed by a true expounder of the Constitution who will take his place by the side of Marshall and Storey, and other mukers of the Federal Constitution. An Impending Crisis Brownville is again upon the man. Somebody else is shooting up Brownsville now, and the citizens who stoned the black garrison are loudly clamoring for assistance. And in the midst of the present crisis in Mexico and with Germany, and the agitation for preparedness, the nation may yet need the black hand to stay the conquest of a still blacker hand. In all this we see the slow, gradual, but inevitable, elimination of the distinctions of race and color from American life. Just as Boston three-quarters of a century ago, began this movement for our emancipation from slavery, so fifteen years ago, a approximately, began the movement for our economical independence. Boston claims the National Negro Business League as one of her children, one of her institutions. "What a big boy you have grown to be?" In 1800 there was one league with fifty members, and a few businesses represented. To-day I am told that there are 600 leagues with nearly 40,000 members, who represent every branch and variety of business, trade and finance. When one realizes, that business rules the world the possibility of such an organization seems almost unlimited in its power to help the race along other lines of progress. A Welcome to Beans and Brown Bread. The incentive to business enterprises has taken hold in Boston and we have a whole section devoted to Negro business enterprises. We welcome you back to the old homestead once more. The leans are piling hot, the brown bread bursting with plums. If these do not satisfy your taste and purses there are the clams and the blisters, fresh from the ocean. Only be sure to take along with you a business league physician and an undertaker, as a matter of precaution and "Safety First." But man does not live by bread alone. This is the City of Inspiration. The houses of civil religion and political liberty, for which Boston and Massachusetts fought, have never been allowed to race, and his monument is the granite shaft, which throws him back still and recall the scenes of the carriage there, and there rises the figure of a Black Man with flashing eyes and distended muscles, standing guard over the hurricane. Extend our armage down to Kane Hall. Hare our heads and enter these sacred precincts. Listen to the voices of Freedom there. From this hall went forth the thunders of Phillip, Garrison and Moore Purker, that shook the moral universe, and pushed slavery from its throne. His Honor, the Mayor, will welcome you to the rough, crooked streets of Boston, where Shadrack was rescued and Garrison mobbed; down which the black regiments marched to deathless fame, commemorated in bronze by St. Joseph, Qo'ing, and the drink of the waters there, breathe the invigorating east wind, and everywhere your eyes turn your vision will fall upon the image of the patron saints of the race. May you take home from our meeting not only pleasant memories and better ideas of business enterprises, an incentive to renewed efforts to conquer the Great of Business, but with higher esteem and greater faith in the future of the race. It is true to-day as when spoken by the wisest of men: "Seest thou a man diligent in business, and he shall stand before kings." He shall not only stand before kings, he shall be a king. Behind every throne, behind every king, behind every government, whether public or private, behind the owner of business. The business man controls the destiny of the race and in a large sense the destiny of the world. Governor's Proudest Night. Dr. S. E. Courtney, of Boston, member of the executive committee of the national organization and chairman of the committee on place of meeting for the local league, was the presiding officer at Wednesday night's session. He introduced the governor to the audience after the invocation had been offered. Governor Walsh spoke in part as follows: Well may we people of this Commonwealth of Massachusetts say to tonight, "Stop. Hold 30 years of sacrifice in the progress of the New race in Massachusetts." My friends, to-night I am proud, and more proud than I have been any night of my life as Governor of this Commonwealth, that, speaking for four millions of Massachusetts people, I have ordained a college of speaking before you to tonight. We in Massachusetts believe in fair play for all races, creeds and nations. We protest against any discrimination that may be the result of the flag fights against any man, but most of all do we most earnestly protest against any discrimination that may arise as a man because of his hard work and common wealth is all that I need to bear me out in what I say of this. Curs is a glorious flag but it is not cursious alone for its colors but because of its hope for equality and opportunity. Government as a Good Parent. My conception of government is, that the best government is that which will be a government that will inculcate in its people the same principles that a good parent would inclocate in his child. This government does not exist in the world, because it is an individual, nor of his acquiring material wealth, but it exists, as I conceive it, solely for the happiness and security of the people. Mr. Washington here, whom I have honor of knowing, has been a tower strength to his people, and the thing which the best part of his strength influence has been lies in the fact that he has been a good girl was to be attained through therium of education and he has applauded its importance. I asked the delegates from China to visit our city a short time ago and thing in America had impressed them the most. They replied that the most important they asked them had to do for us, and this was the cause I had them carry back to China and their new republic. That everything good, both for the individual and the nation, was to be attained by dying their young men and women by their death, and they told that China would become good accordingly as she became learned in snow ledge of the world around her. President Washington's Address. Following the appreciative reception of the governor's address, the presiding officer presented Dr Booker T. Washington, president, who delivered his annual address as follows: At the beginning of my annual address as President, to this the sixteenth meeting of the National Negro business League, let us emphasize in our address the deep depth of gratitude we owe to our Secretary M. Elmith J. Stott, for the continued success of this organization. In a later message it is the hard work, the most selflessness and resourcefulness of Mr. Washington, the power for good that it is. Nor should I overlook the steadfastness and helpful interest and generosity of all the members of the executive committee as well as the several officiating members of the catalogue. I am not omitted the name of our trust and devoted national organizer Mr. Shaas H. Moore. The loyalty and activity of many of the local leagues is a common purpose and gratification. The fifth and final work of the Boston Local League together with the Cambridge League and citizens of Boston is a whole, to make the meeting a success, as also cause congratulations and deep gratitude to the leaders of the city, to thank the talented press throughout the country for its more than liberal and constant support of this league. We of the Negro race and of the white race will be the self-sustaining and grateful of the Negro community being done by the Negro people. League Organized in Boston. This National Negro Business League was organized in the city of Boston. Fifteen years ago with a more harmful of men. The league during the fifteen years of its life has grown in power in milieu and world affairs with either its members or its affiliates it reaches practically every part of the country in which there are in considerable number of colored people. After fifteen years of useful service and growth it is lifting that we should return to Boston the place where gave us birth to the business league having a sketch to the object for which it was founded. It was not founded to take the place of other organizations; nor was the league ever intended to go into business as an organization or to become a close-hide- ound concern with grips and signs and pass words. We have such organization, and doing their work will be the central National Negro Business League has seen from the first to foster and to spread and create industrial business and commercial enterprises among our people in the area we have access to the country. I will tell facts tell the story later on. The founders and promoters of the league fully recognize the fact that it cannot meet all the needs of the race, nor satisfy all its ambitions. We fully and frankly recognize the fact that there is need for the particular and distinct work to be done by the referees, the players, the political literary, the secret and fraternal hobbies, as well as those that deal with the civil rights of our people. All of these have their place and with none of them would we seek to interfere; but the history of civilization throughout the world shows that without economic and commercial success there can be no basting or commanding success in the league. The league then has for one of its objects not the tearing dog, or weakening of other organizations, but rather to give these strength and stability. The National Health Week Observance. Since our last annual meeting there have been happenings that are of peculiar interest to our race. Among these is the observance of a National Health Week which was promoted very largely by the organization in cooperation with the Virginia Organization Society. Health Week was perhaps more generally observed by all classes of our people in the South and in the North than has ever been true of any similar movement in the history of the United States. The death rate among our people was alarming, but the importance of good health and long life has been called to the attention of the race in so many ways during the last ten years that the death rate has already been reduced by four per cent in certain parts of the country. It is the wish of many that the Health Week be observed again this year. Since our last meeting the United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the Oklahoma case of far-reaching value and importance to our country. The Court has rendered by a Southern Justice and an ex-federate soldier, and ex-svate holder consists in the fact that it makes plain the idea once and for all by the Supreme Court of the land that neither a man nor a woman can own in this country from citizenship. Increase in Number of Lynchings I regret to note that the number of lynchings during the first six months of the calendar has increased as compared with the same period a year ago. What the number of black people lynched is smaller than the number of white people lynched is less than the total number lynched should not discourage, but should make us renew our energies and double our determination to blot out the crime of lynching from our civilization, whether the man be a white man of a black man, and I here repeat that which I have said in the previous law administrator by the court and not by the mob. Along with the blotting out of lynchings should go that other effort for reform. I refer to public hankwings all these matters. I am pleading in the interest of the Negro or the man not in the interest of a more frightened and perfect civilization. It is seldom that it is ever true that in the space of one generation so many changes of real progress in the fundamental things of life can be seen. Perhaps the changes in Japan and the United States in the midst in Boston fifteen years ago, great changes have taken place among our people in property getting and in the promotion of industrial and business enterprises. These changes have taken place not solely because of the work of the beggar, but this and similar or more surprising about this progress. Let me make sure. Farm Property Worth $1,142,000,000. We have not the figures covering all the Negroes' wealth, but the Federal Government has just relied use a document which uses the value of the Negroes' farm property alone as $1,142,000. From 1900 to 1918 the Negroes' farm property in租收 was $2,900 small business enterprises. At the present time the Negro owns and operates about 100 farms with an annual turnover of about one billion dollars. 100 years we have made enough progress in business to warrant the operation of over fifty farms. With about 100 farms we are still a poor country, compared with many others, we have given these districts to hide and a reaction in which they are appalled. During the last six years we have experienced as a race for a low business tailors, including the closing of several banks. We must not let these failures disobrasse us. We must not member that it is difficult to obtain that it is only through seeming failure as well as success that we finally gain that experience and confidence which may not be sufficient to prevent success. With all that I have Did we should remember that we have but serached the service of industrial and financial institutions not us, not behold us. We are a new race in a comparatively new country. Let any who may be inward toward pessimism or discord consider with me for a few moments the most things that are before us. It is obvious to more value to conserve our divinity and to consider only the opportunity it is worth while not to overload, store of our rate. The Race's Opportunities There are only four million in the world with a population exceeding the number of New Yorkers in the United States. In the United States, the population is 250,000,000. In the United States, the population is 250,000,000. When we contemplate these figures and then remember that we in the United States alone have about 100 million we can get right about. Let me be more specific. In politicizing the way to these important cities, if I would ask, where you are to begin I would answer begin where you are to begin. We are off country and right at our door. In a far off country and right at our door. Over a million of our people live in the Northern and Western states. In the states of the present time of our people country, about 1,000 business enterprises and art for eight thousand business enterprises are for about the five million. In the so soon states have the same 100,000 people we have about to make business concerns. These should be within the twenty thousand more business concerns. In all this, we should never forget that the ownership and cultivation of the soil constitutes the foundation for great wealth and usefulness amping our ability to grow food. We also we operate about $90,000 farms. Within the next decade let us try to double the number. To indicate a little more on the digressions in which we should seek. There are now 4,000 truck farms and 1,000 barns. This number is 8,000. We ought never to forget that in the ownership and cultivation of the soil in a very large measure we must lay the foundation for our future. The soil is like a ship without a rudder. Emphasizing again our opportunities, especially as connected with the soil, we now have for example 122 poultry, raisers, the number should be increased to 1,500. We now have the number should be increased to 2,000. Too Many Negroes in Cities.

But do it with (Kink no more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink no more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink no more is a wondert worker who nonviolently does it do its work. It works like magic, it works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We do it with Kink no more for any hair, for the Kink no more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling off and maintain growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of our Kink-no-more, or Kink-no-more enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal money order or express money order. Liberal inducements offered to agents. Write to day for specific needs. Use stamp to address agents wanted everywhere.

With race as it has been and always will be with all races without economic and business foundation, it is hardly possible to have educational and religious growth or political freedom. Lessons from Liberia and Haiti. We can, learn some mighty serious lessons just now from conditions in Liberia and Haiti. For years both in Liberia and Haiti literary education and politics have been emphasized, but while doing this the people have failed to apply themselves to the development of the soil, mines and forests, and the need to provide an economic point of view those two resources come depend upon other nations and races and in both the control of finances is in the hands of other nations. This is true notwithstanding the fact that the two countries have natural resources greater than other countries of similar size. In the United States there is no hope for our country an increasing degree to teach our young to work and to education to develop the natural resources and to the promoting of bu- to be a witness in the communities where they live. More abstract unused education means little for a race or individual. An ounce of application is worth it. The student must not be afraid to pay the price for success in business—the price of sleepless nights the price of toll when others test the price of planning today for tomorrow, this year for next year, and so on. This requires the thinking, and pays the salaries, someone else will reap the harvest and enjoy the reward. To accomplish what I have indicated, we must have a united race, men who forget and overlook personal and local differences, and each willing to place upon the altar all that he holds for the benefit of the race and our country. Sometimes it is suggested that some men are over optimistic concerning the race, and over optimistic concerning our race. In part answer it might be stated that one on the inside of a house looking out can often see more than the one on the outside looking in. No one enjoys riding in a PPullman car so the one who has ridden in a freight car No matter how poor you are, how black you are or how obscure your present work and position, I want each one to remember that there is a chance and the more difficulties he has to overcome the greater will be his Southern White Minister Spoke Everywhere we should be proud of the Mexico and back to the great human family of whatever color. When we consider what is going on in Europe where all the people are of one race, we compare with those with diverse populations and our lack of race, we ought to thank our mother that conditions are so well A. E. LO LADY READERS Two weeks ago, in my announcement, I offered to send my new book entitled "A Message to women," free of cost, with a sample bottle of my new fashionable Creole Liquid Powder. Many readers of The New York Age have taken advantage of my offer and are glad they did so. If you missed it now your own copy of the OIJ book and don't delay. Merely write a letter, and when doing so, give names and postal addresses of three colored lady friends over 17 years of age. ABOUT PERFUMES If you would like something really superb - delicate, lazing and lovely - let me draw your attention to my line of quarer-dollar perfumes. The bottles are not large, they contain only an ounce, but this perfume will compare with the dollar-ounce class sold in Fifth Avenue (N.Y.) stores. And the With King selling price is only 25 cents! The odors are heliotrophe, violet, lily-of-the-valley and carnation pink. Take your choice; I will mail you a bottle with us, and that we live beneath the Stars and Stripes.

AND HAITL A recent despatch from Portau-Prince states that the American Government has addressed the Haitian Government expressing the desire that the latter accept without delay the draft of a convention for ten years, under which the United States will control the Haitian customs as well as the finances of that country. It is stipulated that this be done under an American receiver-general and American employees. The terms of the convention further provide that the municipal and rural police are to be natives, but under American officers, and includes arrangements of the debts of Haiti to foreign nations, also a promise that no Haitian territory shall be ceded to any foreign power, except the United States. The Haitian Government has been asked for an immediate reply. We deeply regret that conditions have been brought about that make any of the above steps necessary. Of course, it would have been far better if Haiti had continued to work out her own national, political and social problems. However, it is now too late for regrets of that sort. Haiti is facing a condition that she must meet, and she must be wise enough to make the best of it. In the first place, it is reassuring to see that this Government recognizes that there is a Haitian Government, and addresses it with the request to consider the proposed convention. Not that the objection of Haiti to any clause upon which this Government, might insist would be of any avail; nevertheless, we are glad to see the Haitians so considered. The terms of the convention do not surprise us, they are the same as we have under the treaty with Santo Domingo, except, perhaps, the arrangements about municipal and rural police. But the clause about the session of Haitian-territory to no foreign power, except the United States, might well give rise to the fear that Haiti may be called upon some day to sacrifice the inviolability of her territory. And, yet, worse things could happen to Haiti. If this convention is accepted, the thing to be desired is that this Government will not appoint to administer the affairs of Haiti men who, by training, education and sentiment, are unitted for such a task. Let men be appointed who can work in full sympathy and understanding with the Haitians. In no other way can good be accomplished for the Haitians or credit earned for the United States.

These impressions may be of some value to the reader, for the reason that the writer had not before had the privilege of attending a Business League convention, so his mind was open to receive fresh impressions. We were first impressed by the sight of colored speakers addressing an audience from a public platform, and making use of figures of arithmetic in preference to figures of speech. Usually at large conventions among our people there is an unstinted use of oratory, but here there was an entire absence of it. More strongly still were we impressed by the sight of a large colored audience listening to a long program of addresses, which consisted almost wholly of unadorned recitals of facts or strings of figures. It was almost curious to see them bending forward to catch the words as they fell from the speakers' lips. We also received the impression that the colored women seem to be distancing the men in business enterprise and activity. The women who made addresses were particularly interesting. They handled their subjects in a logical and forcible manner, using direct and well chosen English. All told, they succeeded in arousing more enthusiasm than did the men speakers. Our composite impression of the whole convention was that the race is fast seizing the idea of the present age; that is, the idea of efficiency. That we are learning that business does not mean merely the opening of a little shop, but keeping it open and making it a bigger shop. That we are coming to understand that our economic progress does not depend merely upon individuals of the race saving a thousand dollars each, but upon ten, twenty, fifty such individuals putting their savings together to establish business enterprises on a big scale; business enterprises that will make money earn money, that will give our young people employment and demand for the whole race consideration in the financial world. That we are realizing that we cannot do business merely as colored business men and women; that we cannot appeal to members of the race for patronage solely upon the ground that we are all colored; that the Negro is a human being before he is a Negro, and we cannot expect him to give up his money unless he gets value; that if we want the patronage of our race or of anybody else, we must compete for it and deserve it; in a word, that we must study and practice efficiency. ONCE MORE GEORGIA. our readers that we should have cain, but did not think we she the subject. it been lynched. With the go gahg; we have said our say on urges to say about the lynching We warned our readers that we should have to turn our attention to Georgia again, but did not think we should have only one week's rest from the subject. Leo Frank has been lynched. With the guilt or innocence of Frank we are through; we have said our say on that question; but we have a few things to say about the lynching of Frank. Grant that Frank was guilty, that he was guilty of an atrocious crime which, as has been reported, was aggravated in an unmentionable manner. Grant, that Georgians are right in their contentions that outside influence and money defeated the courses of their state and that the commutation of sentence was secured through Governor Slaton's membership in the law firm which brought the case before him. Grant all that Georgians charge and claim, still the lynching of Leo Frank stands out as a naked example of lawlessness and brutality. However, the lynching of Frank has served one great purpose, it has served to fix the eye of the nation upon this bold fact, that Georgia and several of her sister states are not civilized, in the modern sense of the word. And this is something which innumerable lynchings and burnings of colored men, women and children have failed to do. To say that Georgia is not really civilized will, of course, arouse the indignation of any and every Georgian; but we make the statement in no spirit of malice; in fact there is no need to make the statement, the truth is self-evident, it is substantiated by history as well as recent occurrences. Is it unfair to bring such an indictment against the entire state? We think not. Of course, there are people in Georgia who are highly civilized, liberal-minded, humane and law-abiding, but they are, as yet, in a hopeless minority. In the formation of public sentiment they are absolutely outweighed and almost entirely cowed into silence. There is not to-day a citizen of that state who would dare to rise up and make an unqualified, public denouncement of the Frank lynching; he would feel it necessary in some degree to extend the act, or to coat his statement with rhetorical sugar. For his own bodily safety, he would refer to the "intolerable circumstance that provoked the act" or would lug in the well worn reference to Georgians as the "noblest people on earth." In truth, no man in Georgia can express his opinion, if it runs counter to popular sentiment, except at great risk to himself, no matter how high and broad that opinion might be—the higher and broader the opinion, the greater his danger. In this respect, the condition of a citizen of Georgia is not one whit above the condition of a citizen of Guatemala or Honduras or Haiti'or Nicaragua, in which countries, any criticism of the powers that be is regarded as treason. An impartial and critical observer making a study of Georgia would arrive at the conclusion that only a negligible portion of her people had yet risen to the high standard of western civilization: that the great majority of them were ignorant and primitive, the slaves of their prejudices, unable to control their passions, unwilling to abide by the law, if the law stood in the way of popular clamor; in a word, he would reach the conclusion that they were a people living under a form of government and a standard of citizenship for which they were not yet fitted. He would deduce that such a people, if separated from close contact with the advanced states to the north and west, would settle upon a level of civilization and political liberty parallel to that of certain Latin-American republics or some of the Balkan states. The action of the Marietta mob cannot be palliated by claiming that the mob was composed of men who were gunmen or crooks. All Georgia knows that the men who lynched Frank are among the representative citizens of their community; it knows further that the prevailing sentiment of the state endorses their action; and it knows still further that these men, even if apprehended, will suffer no legal consequences of their act. Taking all of these facts into consideration, we cannot but agree with the conclusion as to the standard of civilization in Georgia that would be reached by an impartial and critical observer. The condition of Georgia and several other states in the same section is an awful example of the penalties of the moral laws. It is a demonstration that moral laws are as binding and as inflexible as physical laws. When the people of most of the Southern states have been told that they could not degrade the Negro without degrading themselves, they have laughed, they have thought it mere preaching; but if they will look with eyes unafraid they will see that the truth of this precept stands out like a mountain peak against a sunset sky. For generations these people have had the opportunity of exercising the basest impulses of the human heart against a helpless people in their murk, and they have yielded to the temptation. They have practiced upon the Negro oppression, cruelty and lawlessness; and, as a necessary result, they have become oppressive cruel and lawless. They could no more escape this result than an apple can escape falling to the ground if shaken from the tree. While the country was in a state of hysteria over the lynching of Leo Frank and the headlines of the daily papers were bold and black and their columns crowded with every detail of that awful affair, the following modest despatch of three lines from Montgomery, Ala., appeared in an equally modest place in several papers; some failed to record it: MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 18.—Three negroes, recently released from jail, where they were held charged with poisoning mules, were lynched near Hopehull early to-day. Three Negroes lynched on the charge of having poisoned some mules, and that after they had been released from jail! But, perhaps, this little affair was pulled off in Alabama just to divert the attention of the country or to somewhat relieve the strain. Yet, if that was the purpose, it was a miserable failure, for the lynching of the three Negroes attracted no wider attention than did the original offense of poisoning the mules. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Hunting a Place. To the Editor lot the AGE: I wish to state a few facts relative to a misleading article appearing in your paper, some weeks ago, purporting to be an interview with the Rev. Dr. W. A. Byrd of Rochester, N. Y. Dr. Byrd in the said article declares himself as being dissatisfied with white Preshysterians, characterizes Christianity as practiced by them as a farce and makes some startling misrepresentations of the Preshysterian Church. It is a little amusing as well as surprising to one acquainted somewhat with the things that have been going on behind the curtains, that the doctor should pursue a course of this kind, and blame and abuse others for a condition for which he alone is responsible. But here is the rub of the whole matter: It is not generally known that Dr. Byrd has aspired for some time to be "the bishop" of the southern Negro constituency of the Presbyterian Church, and that his failure in this particular has soured his life. Of course, it is to be regretted as most unfortunate that things of late have gone so bad with our white ancestors as to provoke the contempt of one if the premature settlers." But it was one of those things that could not be conveniently avoided. "The wheels of the gods grind slowly, but surely." Notwithstanding this Dr. Byrd is a man to be reckoned with at all hazards. He is in many respects resourceful, and of great natural ability. In fact, he is brilliant. And it goes without saying that the good opinion of such a man is much to be desired. Perhaps the sun, moon and stars do obeisance to him, and the winds hide away before his frowns. Be this as it may; it is certain, and it ought to be known, that the good opinion of Dr. Byrd is not a necessity to the welfare of the Presbyterian Church. However, past affiliations lead me to hope that the disatisfaction is not of such nature that it cannot be reconciled by the office of good fellowship, and the "love that suffereth long and is kind." The statement that "Christianity is a force as practiced by the white man" is so palpably infelicitous as to need no serious comment. To say the least of the uncharitable fling, it is bad taste and shows to what extremes self-centered men are sometimes driven in their desperate search for a place. In this connection it is worthy of note that this antipathy toward our white Presbyterian brethren, shared only by Dr. Byrd, is the aftermath of a consummate failure on the part of the doctor to get certain radical measures through during the situ- ture of our last General Assembly, which was another attempt by the doctor to secure a place of prominence for him-self. Again, Dr. Byrd, in his tirade on the Presbyterian Church, seems to gudiously hide from the interviewer the real cause of his grievance. In this particular the doctor did himself or the cause responsible for the dissatisfaction a great injustice. The situation would have been clearer had Dr. Byrd explained himself. But this is the one thing the doctor does not mind to do. Continuing his interview, the doctor declares "that in his bit" the Presbyterian Church is dead so far as the Negro is concerned." How pathetic this statement. However it is a great comfort as well as a source of unpleasant knowledge to know that in the judgment of Dr. Byrd it is no worse with us. The doctor suggests as a panacea for the dead "a distinctive Negro Presbyterian Church." Now it is evident that Dr. Byrd aspires to be the moderator, the stated clerk the secretary-general of all the boards, "with an unlimited salary, a Pullman car ear and a summer cottage on the 'title of somewhere.' That would be nice. So I wish to give the doctor notice that I am a candidate for all these places, having been nominated by common consent: The climax of the interview is reached in these words "The past fifty years has spelled failure with the Negro church; that a supernatural instance of a whirlwind in a team is the cause of who are in position needed by those who are in position to know that the doctor despite the main spendful opportunities he has had—ranks among the colossal failures of our church, it seems incredible that a man conversant with the amuels of the Presbyterian Church as he is would in the face of so many facts to the contrary, venture his sanity on such reckless and misleading verbage. It is tragic in the extrigue—a mad leap of a great intellect into hopeless despair. The Predestination Church has always stood for the parity of the ministry. We are not a church of orders but of equals. We are all bishops. But Dr. Bryd seems not to accept this fundamental principle of our ecclesiastical law. He wants to be the class. Find it, it seems that the possible might be fallen upon a more feasible plan to bid for a place, some other denomination, to abuse the church he has sucked without gratuitous value for the next ten years or more years. If Dr. Bryd wants to go, we are all ready to admit him a political letter of dismissal. C.E. Trellis 455 W. 10th St. Chicago, Illinois. PATERSON N. L Daviesas N. L. Mr. and Mrs. Clas- L.

I last colored the theatre managers —those who conduct theatres whose patronage is wholly or A class colored theatrical managers—those who conduct theatres whose patronage is wholly or largely colored—are awakening, to the fact that it is absolutely necessary that they organize for their mutual protection, and that by co-operation they can best advance the interests of the colored theatrical profession. It would not be surprising if an organization was formed among them in the tear future, one which would bring about revolutionary changes in the uncertain booking system now in vogue. The breaking of contracts by Tim Moore and the acts of irresponsibility of other performers are making it clear to the managers that something must be done to make some vaudevillians understand full well that a contract is a contract. Several managers have written commendatory letters to THE AGE on it-stand against, contract-breakers, and advising that managers get together. one of those to urge that managers organize with a view to bettering conditions S. H., Dudley, well-known comedian and head of the Dudley Circuit, who writes as follows: Washington, D.C., Adg. 23. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: I have just read the article in The Age about contract jumpers, and the managers are as much to blame as the contract jumpers, for I find it almost an impossibility to get managers of colored剧院 to work. When weighed is all of the good big houses paying fairly decent salaries to start the ball rolling—organize a protective association—and the smaller houses will soon find it easier to see the advantage of so doing. Now I do not mean to organise to out salaries of the performers, nor do I mean to do anything to work against them; but I want to organize to keep performers from working in the manner the managers in the matter of signalling them breaking the whence they feel so disposed. Here is a little of my experience along the lines of booking agent and manager: I have booked acts and work. I have worked on my work. They would sign and return the contracts in good faith; then some manager would offer them from $5 to $15 more for only one night. The right-sighted actor would cancel my contracts as late as Saturday, prior to opening; on a Monday, I have also experienced considerable difficulty under my contracts under my contracts with other time to follow. The local manager likes the act and shows it wherein he can hold it over and it would. Then the act disappoints the manager of the other theatre where it is billed to open after the latter has gone to expense in billing the user. The audience is disappointed, and in some instances the manager is accused of misrepresentation. The patrons expect the act billed to appear no further than it is supposed for it is. To the dismay of the manager he finds he is running his house down by not giving the public what he advertised. All of this could be avoided by co-operation. I could write enough to fill the entire dramatic page of The Age, but why use up so much valuable space on such an "insignificant" page? I would like to have some managers, many performers and to the majority of your readers. However, I sincerely hope and managers of colored theatres will get together and organize "for business and not for pleasure." Sincerely yours, (Signed), S. H. DUDLEY. Since receiving Mr. Dudley's letter the following telegram was sent me by Mrs. Bessie Oliver Miller, wife of one of the members of the well-known vaudeville team of Miller & Lyles, who is managing the Olivette Theatre, Louisville, Ky; Louisville, Ky., August 24. To the Dramatic Editor of the Age he told me that he tickets last Thursday. He wired for money which I also placed. He said he can afford it, lifted him strongly for two weeks. See if you can locate and land him for next week. "Rumored he is to move," he said. BESSIT OLIVER MILLER. I have purposely omitted the name of this performer, who is one of the strongest drawing cards in colored houses. What more convincing argument that colored managers should organize could be found? The telegram, from Bessie Oliver Miller strikingly represents present day conditions as experienced weekly by colored managers. Contract-breaking and unreliable acts will continue just as long as managers remain disorganized. Conditions are chaotic and badly upset in the colorful yaundville world for the same reason that similar conditions exist in other avenues of endeavor among colored Americans—lack of organization. This is no time to worry over the "momentous" problem of who is to be elected president, secretary or treasurer of an association of managers; all such petty, ambitions should be submerged and the spirit of ego, that is so conspicuously apparent in all of us at times should be temporarily buried. For to accomplish the larger things in life men must work together, not apart. Furthermore, the offices of president, secretary or treasurer do not make you a bigger man in organization, unless you possess ability and other essentials. Whether you are in or out of office, you can make yourself a power if you are qualified and capable. * Now is the time for Managers Gilson, Thomas, Turpin, and others to act! RUCKER AND WINFREY HEAD LAFAYETTE BILL Nothing but words of praise could be heard on every hand for the bill presented at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week; however, in Harlem you can always tell what's in the theatre-goers' minds by their actions. If the attendance is large they think well of the theatrical menu; if the attendance is bad—well. Rucker & Winfry head the bill in an act full of laughs and one which is well put together. John Rucker, the "Alabama Blossom," continues to spread merriment in large quantities, and is as funny, if not funnier, than ever. Winfry has always shown up well in Chinese roles, and he is being seen more to advantage than ever before. Act scored at each performance.

The leading colored tennis players in the country are met together in the first annual tournament or the New York Inter-Club Tennis Association, which began Saturday, August 21, on the Ideal Tennis Club courts, 138th street, near Lenox avenue. They are batting for possession of the three large silver cups offered to the winner in the men's singles; the winners in the men's doubles. At the close of Tuesday's play the Washington team was in the lead, their style of mid-court play being most effective against the New Yorkers, who are to a great extent back-court players. Especially was this evident on Tuesday afternoon in the doubles between Bain and Bain, local champions, against the McDuffey of Washington, who won the doubles tournament. Philadelphia last Saturday. Plaines and McDuffey defeated Bain and Bain 6-2, 6-4. There was, much interest Tuesday in the singles between J. W. Wilkinson of Washington and Dr. R. B. Costa of New York. Wilkinson, who was in fine form, electrified the spectators with accurate and speedy returns which time after time just shaved the net and cut the lines. Dr. Costa, who is local champion, was also the most formidable over anxious. Being for the most part on the defensive, he took desperate chances. Wilkinson defeated Costa 6-0, 6-2 Harold Freeman, a young lad of 15 years, of Washington, surprised the onlookers when he cleverly defeated L. Allen of Philadelphia. Allen won the first game 5-7, but young Freeman won the second game 6-1. Freeman and son Harold easily defeated Brown and Cummings, 6-2, 6-1. On Sunday afternoon Dr. R. B. Costa in a hard-fought match defeated C. Stamps of Chicago, 4-4, 6-2, 6-2. Among the local teams surviving Tuesday were Wes Anderson and Dr. Walker, Jr. and M. Clifford and Stevens, and Ramsey and Costa. E. K. Jones, Walker and Bromhill survive in the singles. Large crowds have been present each evening, and as the weak players are being eliminated, high-class and inter-team games will be seen the latter part of the week. Saturday the final will be played. Singles. First Round—Roberts defended Fraser, 7–5, 6–1; Dane defeated Titus, 7–5, 6–1; Stamps, 6–4, 4–6, 6–2; Hunt defeated Hill, 6–2, 6–2; C. Clark defeated M. Robbins, 6–4, 4–6, 6–2; M.

First. Record—Adams. Nei ville as a single, and her alliance with Waister Crumbley has resulted advantageously for both. The singing is the feature of the skit, which is so put together as to make it acceptable in both colored and white houses. This turn in the skit is a celebration of Jenkins & Moore, old Harlem favorites, danced their way into popular favor as usual, going big at the finish. Another act to make a hit was Fordil & Co., which presented a sketch with an original idea. Al dummy plays a principal part in the act, one of the members of the sketch being a ventriloquist of no little ability. The Four Tornadoes, expert tumblers, given a big hand, Lang a singer, team, worked hard in No. 1 position. Messrs. Morgantin & Walton will soon introduce a new features similar to the country store, however, the country store will be held each Tuesday and Saturday evening, as usual. GRANGER AT HIS BEST Negro runners are making splendid records this year. The ACE has told of the achievements of Roy Morse of the Salem-Crescent A. C., who bids fair to succeed to the laurels so long worthily worn by Howard Drew, at the sprint distinctions. In the middle distances, Randolph Granger of Newark, the Negro Dartmouth College student, is adding to his long list of wins at every opportunity. He took the 900-yard invitation run last Sunday at the Eccentric Firemen's meet at Celtic Park, having to heat Willie Green, the metropolitan mile champion, Joe Bromilow, the local half-mile champion, and Fiona Sneaking of Granger, the New York Globe has this to say: Randolph Granger, the Dartmouth middle distance, is making a record or himself, this summer. The team has added to his already long list of laurels last Sunday afternoon by taking a smashing race at the Eccentric Firemen's outrun Willie Gordon, the metropolitan mile champion, and Joe Breamow, the local half-mile title holder, in as pretty a race as has been seen at Celtic Park in many a day. Granger is one of the few school boy stars who made good later on his career, and in this respect the college star Harry Hillman, the Dartmouth track coach. Hillman gave Granger nearly a whole year of rest when he went to Dartmouth, and after that he went to work. The long easy work developed Granger's lungs and legs handily, and he has been a different summer ever since. He formerly forged his races "all the way," but this summer, especially he has developed a terrific sprinting ability. It was with Gordon Bromlow and Gordon at Celtic Park last Sunday afternoon. DREW TO STUDY LAW *LOS ANGELES: Cal.-Howard P. Drew has 'reiterated his determination to re-tire from the cinder track, and announces that he will give all his spare time to the study of law, for which profession he is preparing. He has 'reiterated he was sent by "Rip," the cartoonist and sports writer, to the New York Globe: "I'm all in—I'm through." So said Howard Drew, one of the greatest sprinters the world has known, as he pulled up a bad last in the century dash of the A. A. U. meet. "I'm through," he reiterated. "My 'pep' is gone; my legs just won't move, that's all. In my present condition I am not going to trouble in beating me. Unless I rest up and recover my health I can never expect to make even a fair showing on the again. The little ladied had plainly discouraged. He had hoped to win at the exposition track, and, as he says, he thought so until two days before I took the handages off my legs too soon. I was very foolish. My legs have never fully recovered from the downward fall of my game. London I had always worm handages since that time, but in San Francisco I foolishly left them off one morning while practicing. Foolish—well, a well is the main thing now—and a surgeon. I must undergo an operation on my throat and nose. I should have done so before the A. A. U. meet. I would not recover in time to participate. "Yes, I have probably run my last race—in open competition, anyway, would like to get in shape once more, I will need to get in shape. I will see how I come through this operation. If I get through in good shape, I will try to get in form for the winter. I want to go East again and then I will go West again and am positively through. I don't want any one to say I have quit—yes, I want to give them all one more chance at time. But that I feel as though I must give all my spare time to my studies, I am studying to be a lawyer and that is not an easy matter."
