The New York Age BETTER BABIES' CONTEST CLOSES Today is the Last Day of the Contest and No More Pictures will be Received THREE HUNDRED IN HAND Approximately That Many Photos will be Handed Over to the Judge-Diamond Ring Offer for 175 Babies Under Three Years of Age WILL PUBLISH ALL PHOTOS All Pictures Received Which are Suitable for Reproduction, will be Published—Decision of the Judges will be Deferred—Pictures to be Published in Order Received Today marks the close of THE NEW YORK AGE BETTER BABIES' CONTEST, in so far as the receiving of photographs is concerned. To be eligible for the contest all photographs must be in THE AGE office today, whether brought in by hand or sent through the mail. The interest exhibited in the contest is unparalleled. It far surpasses that shown in the very successful "Beauty Contest" conducted by THE AGE last year. There are many photographs entered and the proud parents have not been at all reticent in proclaiming the many good and unusual qualities of their precocious offspring. As has been announced, the publication of the photos will continue until all which are suitable have been reproduced. Now understanding that the Contest Editor has written several times concerning the necessity of sending good photographs for reproduction, a number of the parents have sent in pictures that simply cannot be used for the making of tests. These pictures will go into the contest, however, without prejudice, and be judged on their merits. For reproduction a picture must come up to the requirements. Sending any sort of a picture that happens to be on hand means, nine times out of ten, that it cannot be reproduced. Photos Published as Received. Another point must be emphasized in this connection, and that is that all photos are published in the order received. Each photo is given a number when it is received, and unless there is some exceptional reasons, it is published when its turn comes, if it can be published at all. The Contest Editor has received two postal cards from anxious mothers, each asking the same question, as follows: "Kindly inform me if you received my baby's picture more than a week ago, and why it didn't appear in this week's issue?" "I sent you my daughter's picture August 16 to be put in. The Age contest and I have not seen it. So please let me know what the trouble is, or did you not get the picture." These anxious mothers may possess their souls in patience, for their babies' photos were received, but there are, in fact, instances, a number of photos on hand which were received before their were received. Both will probably be published, but they must necessarily await their turn. The receipt of a photo does not guarantee its reproduction, and any event it must await its proper time. The article is written, of course, before the closing of the contest, but even there are in hand a sufficient number of photographs, if all were suitable for reproduction, to carry the printing them into next year. But as so many of the pictures are unsuitable for reproduction, the probability is that all will be shown in a much shorter period of time.

Increase Money For Negro Schools $1,000,000 in Bonds Voted for Education in Deval County, and Board Appropriated Only $115,000 for Negro Schools—Capt. Floyd Led Citizens in Court Fight. Special to The New York Age. JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Aug. 31. The Negro school children of Jacksonville will be provided with additional facilities to the extent of three new graded school buildings and a new high school building, which is to be the equal in every way of the high school building for white children. This is the outcome of the light made by Negro tax payers to secure a large proportion of the funds accruing from the $1,000,000 bond issue recently voted by Duval county for educational purposes. The Board of Education appropriated for the Negro schools only $115,000 of the million dollars voted, and this was to be used in improving the graded schools only, renovating some of the old buildings. No provision was made for a high school. Led by Capt. J. W. Floyd, one of the largest tax payers, a movement was started and Attorney I. L. Purcell and other legal talent employed to secure an injunction. Sale of Bonda Stopped. Purcell argued the case before the court and was sustained in every contention. The court's decision tied up the sale of the bonds. The Board of Education held a meeting and reconsidered its former action. Resolutions were passed providing for three additional graded schools at a cost of $5,000 each, and a high school building on the present Stanton school site to cost $85,000. Every facility will be provided and the equipment is to be identical with that of the high school for whites. Besides, three other of the schools for Negro children are to have added to the curriculum a domestic science course with special teacher for the same. There will, therefore, be provided for schools for Negroes in Jacksonville, $21,500 instead of the intended $115,000. "family" child, known throughout Florida. She is now 12 years, 2 months, and we are 220 adults. She is healthy, active and takes any exercise that children of lighter weight enjoy. I feel proud to know I am the mother of such a true type of a "Better Baby" to enter the contest of photos. I feel that God has endowed me with one of the greatest gifts given to human beings on earth. I do not send my Baby Henri's picture with the hope of getting a prize but that readers of The Age might see a Tampa, Fl. wonder." Only Grandchild on Either Side. A proud mother, writing from Washington, D. C., evidenced, not herself a reader of THE AGE, says that in her opinion her five-month-old boy could win all the prizes offered. However that may be, he is certain to receive a present, because, since his picture comes in the first 175, he will be sent a Baby Diamond Ring and a box of Elizabeth King Talcum Powder. And his proud mother will also receive a box of Creole Complexion Powder. She says in her letter: "My baby's god parents save me a cup of Crayons selling of the Baby Contest you are conducting. I am sending the baby's picture that he might enter. It is useless to say that we hope he will win one of the cups, because to our judgment, he could win them all. He is the only grandchild on either side, so you can imagine we will win him. He is five months old and weighs twenty-three and one-half pounds. At the age of three weeks he welged only five pounds, fifteen ounces, so you can see how he has improved. He has not lost any hours for everything, solid ores and is very bright and cheerful.

THE BIRTH OF A WOMAN BRONX COLORED VOTERS UNITED IN STRONG BODY At the regular election of The Bronx Colored Voters Independent Progressive Political Association held in the club house, 849 Morris avenue, August 25, Eugene Meltooth process server of the Bronx Colored Voters Association, was unanimously rejected president. Meltooth has lived in the Bronx for eighteen years. Four years ago he organized the colored voters of the Bronx, irrespective of their party ties, into an independent political association which has grown to a membership of our hundred. The policy of the association is the endorsement and support of political offices who are known to be friendly to the colored people and who are best suited for the office regardless of the party they may be affiliated with. This policy has made the colored voters of Bronx Colony a power to be rocked with and has secured for them real and substantial political recognition. DR. & MRS.

When Henry Bankston and others investigated they found Hooks living in the weeds a few feet away from the railroad track. He had been shot through the alldomen with a call or pistol bullet.

PRICE FIVE CENTS GRAPHIC LETTER FROM A HAITIAN Telling of Events Leading Up to the Occupation of Haiti By American Troops PRESIDENT SAM KILLED The Governor Murdered Day Previous and Body Partly Burnl—Left on Street Until Next Day—Had Ordered Death of 165 Prisoners UNCERTAINTY AS TO FUTURE The Air is Charged with Doubt as to the Outcome, Though the Struggling People Hope American Occupation Will Ensure Political Tranquility and Economic Prosperity. The action of the United States in taking possession of affairs in Haiti, landing marines and demanding control of Haitian customs for a period of years, has aroused the people of America as well as of Haiti. That there is a difference of opinion as to the justification of the Wilson administration in taking this step is not surprising. Under date of August 7, a letter has been received by the editor of THE Age from a distinguished citizen of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in which the events leading up to the American occupation are sketched and present conditions are briefly considered. The writer of the letter is in position to gauge accurately the public pulse and he has the wisdom and the acumen which enables him to judge fairly and justly the motives of the leading actors in Haitian events. It is a graphic description he gives of the scenes attendant upon the killing of the Governor, and the subsequent burning of the body, followed by the descent the next day upon the French Legation, where the late President Vilbraum Gilliaum Sam had taken refuge. The president was taken out and murdered, and his body subjected to various indignities. For obvious reasons, the name of the writer will not be used, but the letter in its entirety is as follows: To the Editor of The Age For some time past events of the most startling and lamentable aspects have been casting their shadows before them in Haiti. On the 25th of July the President of Haiti, Vibram Gillium Sam, was assassinated and the American occupation of Port-au-Prince and the other cities was immeasured upon by a subsequent attack on the part of the people without even any visible public astonishment; for it is conceded on every hand that their occupation was a physical necessity an event which stayed the hands of those who hoped to revenge the loss of the klimman, massacred in the prison—some 165 by the order, of President Vibram Gillium Sam, who was arrested on the morning of July 27. Among the victims was ex-president Oreste Zamour. The Bobo Revolution: Mob Murders the Governor Following in the wake of such lamentable scenes a sudden fear took possession of every home in the city. What next? Like a wave of the rushbuck the man led by some of the inmates in the prison lost their sons and relatives. The men taken out of the jungleian location and murdered in the street, his body being burnt in part and left exposed in the street until the next day. Then to the French location, from where the man was taken and murdered; his head was given to different portions of the monastery; dragged about the city throughout the day in the most objectionable manner. And then the thing most dreaded, that which seemed improbable, but which a condition of fronteide would sooner or later bring about, is now an accomplished fact; the american ma- many have occupied every conceivable past or security, and honor belonging to the Haitian people. Although this is hurtful to the nation's pride and demeanor, it is worthy of admiration by the heroic achievements of Haiti's great men, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jessaline and Petion, Colombo and Jeffred, it is nevertheless a fact that no ingrained is the spirit of hate in many Haitians, legislators among them, toope for a new phase of life out of the American occupation. Thus we note another setback to German diplomacy which has been for lo, these many years, disagreeable factor to the undermining of the Haitian race. As the promoter and beneficiary of the Beet Sugar Convention it mattered little to her if the West Indians starved. As she taught Haiti to hate her best friend, the United States, who has a great interest in the people she has taught Liberia to be suspicious of England. First Free Election for Haiti. For the first time in their history, the Haitian people had a free election, with the American troops to guard each candidate. Without this guard, perhaps most of the candidates would have been assassinated. One was put under the watchful eye of Captain Beach of the American forces. The air, however, is charged with unanticipated as to the outcome of the American occupation. It may be said to the credit of the marines that they are not committing any outrages. They hold the safety of the country in their hands. The one great question that they do is, what will they take from us? But something that the struggling people for is that the Americans will secure a state of political tranquility and economic prosperity. But with without the Americans, unless the power of Voodooism is destroyed, to the people, all who love Haiti and the people, people pray that they may have a true conception and practical realization of the "Fatherhood of God and the "Brotherhood of man."

It was the rst time in Chicago that a body of singers had rendered a program of distinctive Negro music, and a great throng was delighted.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkest 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 wonder work. So marvelously does it work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any kind of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin. It harms hair and will not pull out, positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is a guardian gift; we guarantee it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a straighten from one to two heads of hair.

It is the consensus of opinion of all who visited Boston during the recent session of the National Negro Business League that Boston set an example for the whole country is showing how a large convention of this kind can be systematically and carefully cared for. No detail that had to do with the comfort and convenience of visitors was overlooked. Further than this, Boston set a splendid example to the country in showing first class team work. The two local leagues, the Boston League, the Cambridge League and the Citizen's Committee, worked together as one man and there was no hitch at any point. Aside from the success of the league proper the various social functions which culminated at the reception on Friday evening reached a high water mark in the progress of our race. The ministers of all of the important churches, and the leaders of the various fraternal orders also co-operated most cordially and most helpfully and sympathetically in making the meeting the grand success it was. It was to the credit of Colored Boston that all factions came together, to welcome and entertain the most splendid aggregation of successful business men and women of the Negro race ever gathered together in this country. Again we say. "Hats off to Boston." JACKSONVILLE NEGROES WIN. Jacksonville, Fla., voted a million dollar bond issue for new schools. Out of this sum it was decided by the white school board to appropriate $115,000 for colored schools. The Negro citizens brought suit, and were sustained by the court in every point; consequently the bond issue is tied up. The school board is now seeking a compromise through an offer to spend a hundred thousand dollars more on Negro schools. Before suit was brought they haughtily refused to consider all petitions made by the colored citizens for a more liberal appropriation of the fund. This is another example of what can be done to secure our fundamental rights, even through Southern courts. GERMANY'S SURRENDER. Germany's surrender or seeming surrender on the submarine is too tame to be above suspicion. She is holding her own on the western battle line, and having her own way in the east. Why then should she make concessions now that she would not consider when the fates seemed to be against her? It will not do for the Administration to crow too soon, or too loudly about our diplomatic victory; in fact, not at all until we see what Germany is holding up her sleeve, until we see what she is going to demand of us in return for discontinuing her submarine attacks on merchant vessels. BLEASE IN BOSTON. It must have given ex-Governor BLAST, unsuspectable pleasure to stand up in Boston and say that liberty will be dead when mobs are no longer possible. Bon Toombs died with the anguished ambition to call the toll of his shaves on Bunker Hill. BLAST has evidently longed for the opportunity to breathe his breath of defiant fire into the Lanes of Boston Yankees. He is more fortunate than was TOOMBA: he has had his wish TOM WATSON, APOSTLE OF PREJUDICE. One of our readers sent us a copy of The Jeffersonian, published by Thomas E. Watson at Thomson, Ga. The Jeffersonian is something like Brann's Iconoclast used to be, only more so. Our wonder, on looking through it was, how the postal authorities allowed it to go through the mails. Before seeing it, we should not have believed that so much venomous hatred and open indecency could be concentrated in twelve pages. The Jeffersonian led a bitter fight against Leo M. Frank, and later against Jews in general. It is conceded that Thomas Watson, through his organ, was largely instrumental in stirring up sentiment against Frank throughout the whole state of Georgia. Naturally, the denunciations called forth in Northern newspapers by the lynching of Frank were not very pleasing to The Jeffersonian. An editorial in the Wisconsin State Journal called out a reply from Mr. Watson in which he glorifies secession, justifies slavery and says a good many other things. The editorial in the Wisconsin paper was a very plain one; we are sorry we cannot quote it all. It contained one paragraph which read as follows, in speaking about the white men of the South: "Yet with all their pitiable prejudice, they hold it as quite legitimate for white men to exploit black women. And the bleached race is the living evidence of the Southern white man's crimes." To this, the editor of The Jeffersonian replied in the following words: Why Southern white man, only? Is he responsible for all the mulattoes? And why, confuse vices with crimes, and impliedly, at least, accuse Southern white men of raping black women? There are no such crimes. There never were any. There never had to be. The Negro woman who had any conception of chastity was a freak—and it's that way yet. Immoral white men can get all the Negro girls they want—just as in Africa, where the European traveler, setting out upon a journey to the interior, buys him a girl or two, as a part of his equipment. Yes, we lynch Negroes who rape white women, and, what's more, we mean to keep it up. As to the first paragraph in the quotation above, we wish to ask Mr. Watson, who is responsible for the mulattoes, if not the Southern white man? And it was not the Southern rough neck either, but the Southern aristocrat. As to the second paragraph, we ask Mr. Watson if he considers it in the light of a mere escapade, in the light of a young fellow going out merely for a night of careless pleasure, that white men of the South debauched an entire race? This is the truth of the matter, the women who were brought over from Africa and made slaves and concubines were as much raped as any woman who was ever held by the throat by some brute until he had satiated his lust. In fact, the woman who was the victim of the brute had a better chance than the woman who was the victim of the man who owned her body. Does Mr. Watson also set it down as a mere vice, a mere peccadillo, and not a crime, that the Southern white man debauched women who had not even the right to resist him, and that afterwards he became the auctioneer of his own flesh and blood upon the slave block? The assertion contained in the third paragraph is nothing less than vile slander. No women of the world have held their own, against such tremendous odds, so well as have the women of the Negro race in America. Through more than two hundred years of demoralizing and debasing slavery she cherished and maintained the family instinct and her great mother love. After only fifty years of freedom, she has re-established the family relations and is holding the race together. She is making every sacrifice for her children to give them the advantages which she did not enjoy. The great progress which the Negro has made is, in the larger measure, due to the black mothers. Could this be accomplished by a race of prostitutes? Whatever the colored woman of America is to-day is to her glory and not to her shame. Nor can any credit for the effort she is making to lift and hold herself up be given to the acts or influence of "chivalrous" Southern white men who are ready to burn a human being at the stake in defense of woman's honor. As to the last paragraph, let us say to Mr. Watson that the South may continue lynching Negroes for rape and for murder and for theft and for owning a prosperous farm and not for being "respectful" to white men, but let him remember that by the Eternal Laws the South will pay for it. Let him look around and see that the South is already paving the debt of sin that began with the first load of slaves that was landed at Jamestown. She stands to-day bound in the chains of prejudice, cowed under tyrannous public opinion, half-benighted and wholly impecunious, while the rest of the country is enlightened, free and prosperous. And let Mr. Watson pause and consider that the debt is still piling up and is not yet paid. But as sure as there is a God who sits watching the great Scales of Justice, just so sure will the South and its posterity pay in, for every wrong committed against the Negro, the full required weight, until the scales are balanced.

We are beginning to feel like apologizing to our readers for saying anything more about Georgia, but how can we resist reproducing such a letter as the following, which was sent to The World? The letter is a bit long, but, to give you its full import, we think it best not to omit a single word: To the Editor of The World Let me say to your people throughout the North, Do not deceive yourselves. Many of your people have schooled themselves to believe, by reason of the many that are said of us, that we are what your lying papers say we are: But again let me say that if you keep on meddling with us and our law we may make you all repent of it. Be not deceived, we beseach you, for we think that we can hear the roar of The Lincoln's first gunshot shot that was hurled against the wall of liberty of the Revolutionary Fathers. But The Lincoln's rebellion would never have been able to tear it down and not leave one part lying on another if the combined world had not helped him. Do not sur us up, because the memory and spirit of 1861-1865 is still fresh. It is possible for us to get together again, if you provoke us as you did in 1861. We shall not meet you as we did then, for now we have not got the Negro in our way. The people of Georgia and the Southern States will protect their women in spite of the heathen world, you will never be able to set up condemned criminals over us. And all those that indorse Slaton's conduct and praise Frank for murder have no business in Georgia or the South. Our State is organized. We could raise half a million of Georgians in ten days. We don't know but by the action of Chicago and New York our State for the whole South may be blocked. Anyway, we wait to see. Then the battle begins.

Mr. Jenkins is a sane and average citizen of Georgia. What makes his words sound like the ravings of a "jint" is the fact that he does not hesitate to express what he and a very large number of his fellow "patriot" feel. Georgia stirred the indignation of the country by lanching Leo Frank. Alabama, a day or two later, lynched three Negroes who were accused of moloning mules; however, she failed to achieve such wide notoriety as her sister state. And how comes Texas and barns two Negroes at the stake. But is not Texas the biggest of Southern States? Then should also allow herself to be outdoors by states the size of Georgia and Alabama? The two Negroes lynched were brothers. In a fight with the sheriff's posse, one had been killed and the other seriously wounded. The body of the wounded man and his dead brother were found together. Their crime was —— —— but here is the despatch: SULPHUR SPRINGS, Texas, Aug. 29.—Revenge for the slaying of a deputy sheriff and the fatal wounding of Sheriff J. B. Butler was taken by a mob here late to day, when King Richmond, a Negro, seriously wounded, and the body of his brother Joe, killed in a fight with a posse, were burned at the stake in Buford Park. A large crowd was awaiting the posse on its arrival here and insistent demands were made that the Negroes be burned in the public square. Influential men urged that the law be allowed to take its course. A compromise was reached when the wounded man and the shot-torn body were taken to Buford Park on the outskirts of the city and burned at the stake. Fifteen hundred men and boys composed the throng, which took up the hunt for the Negroes. When they returned to town with the dead and living prisoners virtually the entire population, turned out. Five thousand persons were packed in the public square, while the mob heard the arguments of leading citizens and peace officers against the burning. Here we have burning at the stake meted out as punishment for the killing of one officer and the wounding of another. We are not apprised of the circumstances that led to this killing and wounding, but, we know this much. Negroes in Texas do not go around shooting sheriffs and deputy sheriffs for nothing. Take in the whole scene of the lynching. Fifteen hundred men and boys a pack of veritable blood-hounds, hunting for the victims. Five thousand people packed in the public square, demanding that the burning take place there. A compromise reached that the burning take place on the outskirts of the city. Do you think you are reading about a community of people in the United States or about savages in some distant corner of the world? You must realize that you are reading about the United States, for there is no other spot on earth where such a thing does or could happen. Perhaps some of our readers felt that we were making an over-statement when we said in last week's issue that Georgia was not civilized, that its people were living under a form of government and citizenship for which they are not yet fitted. We repeat it, and we put Alabama and Texas in the same class. And we could add a half dozen more states to the list. What the civilized portion of the nation needs to do is to wake up and take this monster of bloodthirsty lawlessness by the throat and strangle it to death! Small need have we to try to abolish atrocities in Mexico and Nicaragua and Haiti, with examples of such inhumanity at our very doors. Little concern need we feel over the souls of Chinamen and Africans and Sea Islanders, with such savagery within our own borders. LET THE NATION WAKE UP! THE HAITIAN SITUATION Latest dispatches from Haiti indicate that the occupation by American forces is not meeting with any serious opposition. The following statement issued recently by Secretary LANSING will no doubt have a reassuring effect upon the citizens of the Negro Republic: We have only the purpose, that is to help the Haitian people and prevent them from being exploited by, irresponsible, revolutionists. These are not properly revolutions; they are unorganized enterprises which involve no question of principle, and they are ruining the country. While they are in progress people are starving in the streets of Port-au Prince because they cannot secure the supplies of food which abound in the country. Things have been going from bad to worse and something must be done The United States Government has no purpose of aggression and is entirely disinterested in promoting this protectorate. We have not even asked for Mole St. Nicholas. If the sentiments expressed in the Secretary's statement are carried into effect, the results will be of great advantage to Haiti. However, we repeat that this can be done only through the co-operation of American officials who are free from narrow and bitter race prejudice and who can enter into sympathy with the Haitians and have a full understanding of their aspirations and needs. Elsewhere, we publish an interesting letter from a resident of Port-au-Prince, to which we call the attention of our readers. For good reasons we could not publish the writer's name. THE SOUTH AT THE BAR. The spirit and method of the Ku Klux Klan has' once more triumphed in Georgia. Once more southern "gentility" and "chivalry" have revealed their true character in murder, secession and anarchy. For the best bessal spirit that sought to disrupt this union, the same spirit that lashed and ravished the helpless slave, the same southern spirit that even today is celebrating the blood-lust of the Ku Klux Klan as a persecution and murder of Lee Frank. Americans have gazed askance at the bloody immorality of Serbia. But Serbia is a paradise of civilization compared with the state of Georgia. Southern readers have heard that the Georgian rabble with the "better classes". But where have the "better classes" been during all the nightmare of Frank's persecution. If the "better classes" permit the rabble to run Georgia's courts, its newspapers, and now its prosecution, the rabble a cheap sinister and deceive social group If there wasist in Georgia any appurtable number of男 and women who have possessed a power to the prosecution of the most sacred machinery of government the most precious diaries of humanity, the most treasonous threats they have changed themselves far worse than the most because they have tolerated and through toleration condemned. And this is not the worst. The worst is that the spirit of Georgia is typical of the spirit that prevails throughout a large portion of the old South. Every southern state that tolerates lynch law whose people have been in the possession of fugitives, is capable of Georgia's more outrageful. Every community that burns Negroes at the stake or hangs them for unproven or petty crimes would act as Georgia did in the case of Frank. How can the nation-the civilized, responsible and self-governing part of it—longer tolerate this anarchy, this blood-lust on the part of a section that once defied humanity and government till it had to be broken with swords and swordsthrough. The North, with the familiar sentimentality of the conqueror, has been inclined to accept the southeast, explanation of the continued persecution of the blacks. With a romanticism unworthy of school girls, the North has swallowed the pretense of civility to the valor of Sultan Abdulaziz, with which the South has venerated its barbars. It is time that this folly came to an end. Statistics prove that not 3 per cent of Negro lynchings are for the crime of rape. STATISTICS PROVE THAT NEGRO LYNCHING IS NOT THE RAPE-FIENDS AND NOT THE BLACKS. The truth is and it should be driven home to every fool who applauds "Dixie"—the tune that, was played to disrupt the union and conserve slavery — that Negroes are lynched for the pettiest of crimes to the former masters. And then this rat about the dangers of misceenment. Who is responsible for the mixture of Caucasian and Ethiopian blood in the country, the Negro or the southern white? Not one light-brown or black. A Negro's design on a white woman. The light-colored black, with scarcely an exception, dates his ancestry to the lost of some southern white master, who did not hesitate to make the creature he bought and sold as an animal to a slave. So much for the southern hypocrisy that prates of misceenment to justify its crimes. Hundreds of thousands of splendid men and women inhabit the southland, just as they did at the time of the revolution. Stock that could produce a life in the hands of human brute lies at the heart of the brutality now, these men and women are not determining, they have permitted themselves to be swept along by the current of the majority because of secessional prejudice, reactionary tradition and the recognized danger of opposing them as in the South. but because the South seems helpless to redeem itself is no reason why the bulk of the nation should stand idly by and permit it continuously to disgrace this country in the eyes of the world: the nation is degradated by the doctrine of race-hatred, anarchy and blood-lust throughout the land by means of lying novels and motion pictures. If the crisis of the burning black vulture of the hundred southern stakes have not been able to ruise the conscience of the Xyrth, can it remain deaf to the last agonized prayer of Loe Frank to his pictured body was swung by "southern gentlemen" from a southern pine. Loe cannot be scourged from out the sisterhood of states, if she cannot be reduced to a condition of dependence lower than that of the Philippines, she can at least be visited with a commercial, social and political ostensio that true Americans still continue justice and humanity as the chief bulwarks of the nation. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY W. H. Goins Defends Porter's Petition To the Editor of The Age. I beg to thank you in advance for the space which I hope you shall find it convenient to grant me for the dissertation of this letter. In a local paper of recent date there was a paper on the accounts writing in which Mr. dossey, Kucnur was accused of interference etc. This accusation be confounded and is made with no good purpose for Mr. Kucnur, who is an agent for an insurance company and a maker and vendor of cigars, has nothing to gain by the act which is styled interference Mr. Kucnur, being a solicitor of cigars, was asked to petition to the nation as they come around that they might read and sign it if it pleased them. That the thing for which we petitioned is a much-talked need, can very easily be seen by the number of names so satisfied. The only explanation one can find for the opposition by this be a petitioner of a presence of a check written by him, but he does not know that he is not so selfish or narrow. Kucnur is a man much liked by since 1911 which he found to be valuable. We shall learn to look at more that would benefit many because he might lose a few dimes thereby. W. H. GOINS. BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

T the Lafayette Theatre Monday evening the bill, for once, was secondary in importance, the presence of Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who were present, the guests of Lester A. Walton, completely overshadowing everything else. The race most distinguished member had previously heard much regarding New York's most unique vaudeville house, but not until last Monday evening did he have an opportunity to see for himself just how the Lafayette Theatre is playing its little part in solving the race problem. Dr. and Mrs. Washington saw colored and white people sitting side by side without race friction and observed colored and white acts working on the bill on most friendly terms. The distinguished visitors were most favorably impressed with the decorum maintained at the Lafayette, and they left the thea- THE NEW YORKER DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON declaring that their evening had been both entertaining and instructive. THEATRICAL Billy Henderson, o Within the past week the LaFayette Theatre has been visited by many colored people of prominence. Saturday evening a box party was given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott and son of Tuskegee, and at one performance the Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery of Mound Bayou and a party of friends paid the theatre a visit. To colored managers of houses where the patronage is mostly or all colored, the interest, being shown in "colored theatres" by leading members of the race should be most gratifying, for it means that the theatrical business is now being looked upon as a legitimate enterprise by our men and women of thought, and it will be in the future regarded seriously and respectfully. For many years the theatrical business has been regarded as one of the principal avenues of endeavor by white people. That the "colored theatre" is attracting more than passing attention among our leaders was strikingly illustrated at the recent session of the National Negro Business League at Boston, when two members of the race were put on the program to tell about the methods employed in conducting their respective theatres. Never before in the history of the National Negro Business League had Dr. Washington and his associates seen fit to give colored theatricals such serious, as well as deserving, consideration. As has been repeatedly in these columns, the theatrical field is a most fertile one for members of the race who will acquire some practical knowledge of the business. Colored people are like white people—they must be entertained. In many cities throughout the country colored theatregoers are either denied admission in houses conducted by white managers or must bury their self-respect and allow themselves to be "Jim Crowed," and then in the gallery. In many cities in the South the better element of colored Americans refrain from going to theatres at any time. For if they do not want to be "Jim Crowed" it is necessary that they patronize theatres conducted by white people who are not bothered about raising the moral standard of the race, but who are out for money, caring naught for the class of entertainment furnished. Opportunity is knocking at the door of colored business men in the South who possess the business foresight to appreciate present-day conditions. But Booker T. Washington and other influential men who have awakened to favorable existing conditions should make it their duty to inform all would-be theatre managers that there is a marked difference between conducting a saloon and a theatre, and that the methods employed in running a grocery store, a barber shop, a meat market, a real estate office or a bank would be of no value to the manager of a theatre. This is an era of specialism, and to succeed one must know well this business. To use a word now popular with Theodore Roosevelt, there must be some "preparedness." Cool weather and a pleasing bill were responsible for large houses at the Lafayette Theatre. The first half of the week, and there is every indication that the season will open somewhat earlier than what this year. Copeland & Peyton were headliners, and they put their act over, in grand style. This act has not been seen in Harlem for nearly two years, and if anything it has improved. The same attention to details is given, such as clean linen on the tables. Copeland & Peyton have some amusing situations together as waiters on a Pullman diner. This act is away from any of the colored turns. The Clarkes proved to be good apause-getters and scored in their singing and talking, while the Tiller Sisters, favorites at the Lafayette, won endures in their classy little skit. Hester Moore, Callen, & Davis and the Ritter Brothers were also on the bill. ```markdown ``` THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

In an exhibition with the Miller aggregation several good guiseville acts will be on the bill. ALPHA CLUB FIELD DAY. A great throng was present-wearing navy-blue and white, the colors of the Alpha Physical Culture Club, at Ulmer Park, Brooklyn, Thursday, August 20, afternoon and evening, on the occasion of the club's annual field days and basket pitches. Promptly at 3:30 p.m. m. at the crack of the gun, the novices were off in the 75-yard dash, which was followed by the 100-yard dash, 1,000-yard run, one-mile novice, running high jump, 300-yard run, medley relay race and the events closed for the day. One of the prettiest races of the afternoon was the 300-yard run for the handsome silver cup donated by William C. Jackson and R. W. Fearing, which was won by B. T. Harvey, of the St. Christopher Club. Harvey, when a few yards from the tape, in a sudden-burst of shot, to the lead and won by a foot. in the 1,000-yard feature race, William Goode, of the Alpha' P. C. C., was second to Eddie Fraser, Irish-American A. C., junior metropolitan champion at 800 yards, who won the Stevens' trophy, the prize for that event. Jo Granger of the Golden Gate Cup third. Granger was allowed a hindrance of five yards to Goode's forty yards and Fraser's six yards.
