OHIO'S CENSORS BAN PHOTO PLAY Chairman of Board of Ceasors Says Picture WILL Rekindle Sectional Hatred and Arouse Prejudice Against Race Would Make the Child, Unfamiliar With the Real Facts, Comclude that the Result of the Civil War was the Greatest Crime in Annals of History—No Politics in Action of Board. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. COLUMBUS, O. J. Oct. 5.—The victory of the colored people and decent white people achieved last week, when the State Board of Censors, after being deadlocked for a week, refused to permit to "The Birth of the Nation" to show in Ohio, was achieved only after a most gruelling fight. Daniel J. Ryan, former Secretary of State for Ohio, a leading Ohio lawyer, led the fight against granting a permit to show the films in Ohio, and to him, more than any factor, are the colored people of Ohio indebted for the victory won. C. G. Williams, chairman of the State Board of Censors, after announcing the board's decision, gave out a statement defending the board's decision, which is a classic. Among other things the chairman said: "It will not be disputed but that it has a great dramatic value and is suspending from the standpoint of camera achievements." On the other hand, by no stretch of the imagination can we get away from the fact that it reflects unfavorably upon the colored race. The entire later half is devoted to scenes and subtitles portraying colored men engaged in all sorts of vicious conduct toward the whites of the South during the civil war and the reconstruction period following. There are many mob scenes where Negroes are in the most repelling attacking white citizens, and scenes where Negro men are forcing their attentions upon white women and are engaged in all sorts of ridiculous and knavish conduct, not only as individuals, but as a race. True, they in many instances led by what the film terms 'scalawag carpetbaggers', but his only further relief the government was based upon some historical facts, many phases are exaggerated in such a way that the child, unfamiliar with the real facts of history, would upon viewing the film immediately conclude that the result of the civil war was the greatest crime in the annals of history, rather than the prevention of human beings driven by the lash and sold upon the auction block. The entire film would seem to proclaim the very doctrine which it cost a half million lives and billions of dollars to eradicate. "Not only does it rekindle the feeling of sectional hatred, but it strongly tends to arouse hatred and prejudice among the coming generation against a race that is living in our midst, 120-140 of whom are in Ohio. I consider it wholly unwise, unjust, dangerous and harmful to officially approve a film that reflects upon them and incites hatred toward them, retarding them in their progress, as this film does. Can't Be Purged. The play also represents the Ku Klux Klan in a manner that their conduct is applauded. It tends to justify that organization in capturing Negroes, and, as masked vigilance committees try them at night, convicting them of supposed outrages, executing them and placing their bodies at the doors of state officials who sympathized with their cause. Without discussing the justification of their methods of that day, the spirit that urged their activities at that time is the same that prompts such appalling conduct in times as to cause Negroes to be made the lynching day a day of celebration. The same spirit prompted masked men to take Leo M. Frank from the custody of the law and execute him, thus which present scenes of this character in a manner which to the onlooker seems to be justified, cannot fail to be harmful. It is also true that there are a few films on the end of the last reel of a film that, show the colored race in a vividable light. But to my mind, after considering all that has gone before it is similar to forcing a very frightening concoction down the throat and then giving him a grain of ear to take the taste out of his mind. The objectionable feature above described, including the plot, scenes and the future film that, I consider it impossible to eliminate, said objectionable When asked if state politics had an ing to do with the board's decision Mr. Williams said that "the board had not been influenced by politics," and he "didn't think there was any politics in the protests that had reached it." Ryan's Protest..... Among those protesters, I got from Daniel J. Ryan, representing the Columbus Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," among other strangers. Ryan's protest says: "I am opposed generally in anything that creates ill-feeling among the different racial stocks in our American citizens. I protest against this picture of a protest structure in our appeal to our evil passions and treason. It exhibits, in our condition in our national life, what a distinct tendency to create a protest against our fellow American citizen by the colored race. I have not seen this picture personally, but I have conversed with newspaper people, business men and others who have informed me of its contents. "There is nothing in it of a lofty or patriotic character. There is nothing in it that would induce citizens to love them. But citizens more! The whole result of the play is to avenge the primal patriots of one race against another, and that reason I regard it against the peace and the patriotic life of our country to exhibit it in this sum of elsewhere." POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Special to THE NEW YORK ACE BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 6—The candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties for governor, attorney-general and comptroller have been formally notified of their nominations, and the campaign for election in November next is in full sway. Ovington R. Weller, the Republican candidate for governor, was formally notified last Friday at an enthusiastic gathering of Republicans of all shades of opinion, and Emerson C. Harsington, the Democratic candidate, was told the good news Monday. It is believed by many that the Republicans will be able to elect their standard bearer in November. Weller having made a most capable chairman of the Good Roads Commission. Under him what is regarded as one of the best systems of roads in the country has been built. He will receive large-support from the independent voters of the State, as well as the great majority of the colored vote. The Republicans in their platform have two planks of special interest to the race, to wit: We favor the extension of public school education, including the lengthy requirements wherever needed, without discrimination with our youth. We stand for the protection of the public health of all the people of the State and favor and shall support such legislation as will make ample provision for consumptives, without regard to race. The two planks were inserted at the suggestion of leading colored men here. MEL CHARLTON WINS HIGH MUSICAL HONOR Melville Charlton, 405 Cumberland street.

MAKE NEGROES LEAVE Portland, Me, Oct. 6.—The killing of a night watchman in one of the business stores, the crime being charged to two strange Negroes supposed to be from Boston, has aroused considerable feeling among the people. The authorities have put out a drag net and all the Negroes are being locked up on the supposition that they may know something about it. The two men, after the killing, went to the house of Bill Harris, a brother to George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, and rented a room. Harris, from all indications, had no connection with the men or knowledge of the crime, but the police arrested him for possible complicity. The white people are sore and incensed, and besides arresting many of the Negro men, some of the Negro women of the town have been compelled to leave. Others are expecting to receive similar notices.

STEWARD DEFENDS WILBERFORCE The question of "modernizing" Wilberforce University, making it the center connection institution of the A. E. Church, is taken up in a letter by the Rev. Theophilus G. Steward, chaplain of the United States Army; retired, and now connected with the Wilberforce faculty. Dr. Steward sees, in the proposed movement a probable attempt to subordinate scholarship to industrialism, declaring, that in this direction already the school is modernized almost to the breaking point. The letter in full is as follows: "Recently in a popular publication the statement was made that, a number of influential persons were preparing to petition the next General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to make Wilberforce the central connecational institution of the church, to which other schools might become in a sense tributary, and to 'modernize the university.' With the first part of this proposed position it is probable that every lover of our university is in hearty accord. I would indeed be a great educational achievement could we rally around this institution and develop it according to the plan projected by its founders. Alas, however, the signs point but vaguely in that direction. Industrial Equipment. "The bete noir in this proposed petition, however, is the word "modernized." Modernized education for the Negro in this country is spelled with an 'I', and when completed reads INDUSTRIALIZED. Now, we have certain industries in Wilberforce, and the equipment for this phase of education is developed far out of proportion to the other departments, so that we may say already the school is modernized almost to the breaking point; any more of this modernizing would lead toward the question, Where is the University? "Behind this word 'modernize' there may easily lurk all those inferences expressed in such phrases as 'back numbers,' 'not up-to-date,' 'behind the times,' 'obsolete,' etc. These bits of ready-made slang are so easily used by people who are usually too tired to think. Surely the faculty of Wilberforce would welcome at any time improvements, and stand ready to put in use as best they can whatever of advanced means or methods the managing boards of the school may suggest or provide; but they are not prepared to recognize novelty as the only qualification, nor age as the only disqualification. Age in a university, like age in an individual, is not always contemptible; in some instances it has proven itself to be honorable. Speaking of this same grand OLD Wilberforce, employs the following respectful language: The Wilberforce University has added to its enviable reputation for dignified antiquity among institutions of learning the reputation acquired with delight, a faculty of worthy scholarship and of high personal character. Time after time, through press and from lecture platform, have representatives of this earliest and most widely known center of wider education in Negro race brought credit to Wilberforce and enlightenment to the general public by their competent discussion of vital issues. Quietly, with neither ostentation nor unseemly haste, the men behind the movement of Wilberforce a widening influence of potent good in both educational and political fields. Some Facts About Wilberforce. "I will ask the reader to consider the question of Wilberforce and its need of being modernized, in the light of the following facts: "Quite recently a girl from our senior academic class went to Oberlin, entered there the class corresponding, and finished her academic course from that school without having lost a day by the traister. Will it be said that Oberlin's academic department needs to be modernized? "This week one of our students who finished sophomore here last June entered the junior college class in the Ohio State University and with the completion of two years' work there will receive his bachelor's degree from that institution based upon two years' work done there by your state work there. Will our modernizers say that the college of arts and sciences in Ohio State University needs to be modernized? It seems to be in the important respect of preparing men for college degrees, in exactly the same condition as Wilberforce." This week also one of our students who took his degree here last June enters Columbia University as a candidate for the master's degree, which he hopes to earn in one year, his only scholastic "aids for his admission to this graduate school being his degree, from Willerforce University. His is not the only case. Last fall one of our students entered Columbia's graduate school on the same basis, and during the school year completed six of the eight courses required for his degree. This estimable course is now teaching, and hopes to complete the remaining courses by summer work and thus obtain degree. Will our modernizers demand that Columbia University's graduate school should be modernized? "Really, dear reader, what is it that needs modernizing—the academic department of Oberlin University, the College department of the Ohio State University, the graduate school of Columbia University, Willerforce University, all these—or the paragrapher from whom I have made my initial quotation."

Told owner Ford Was a Guest of the Society Reating the Hall and Would Remain as Long as Did Members of Their Organization-Asked Southerner If He Was a Georgia Lyncher. $ Special to The New York Age. SPEAK TO THE NEW YORK CITY SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 6—Clay Ford, tailor, 1318 Valencia street, and his wife were invited to an entertainment given by a Jewish society on September 26 in the hall at Van Ness avenue and Sutter street—but the proprietor of the hall, a Southern white man, attempted to force them to leave the building, giving as reason. "I am a southerner and have lived among your people. They have several times tried to rent my hall and I refused because I did not inten- ture for any of the mto stand on this floor. Mr. and Mrs. Ford had been cordially received by their hosts, and the more than two hundred Jews present had shown every sign of friendliness. After they had participated in several dances, the Southerner, who is the proprietor, approached them and said to Mr. Ford, "Here is a dollar; you and your wife have the money." Mr. Ford refused to accept the dollar and immediately went to the manager of the entertainment. The manager said to the owner: "That man has a card of invitation and he is as good as you are." More than half of the guests present were attracted by the disturbance and when they had learned the cause of it, much indignation was expressed. One of the most indignant asked the owner, "Are you a Georgia lyncher?" He was told most pointedly that the hall had been rented by their organization, that Mr. and Mrs. Ford were their guests, and as such would stay as long as they did. The proprietor chagrined and disgruntled, left the hall, and the Jewish hosts paid extra attention to Mr. and Mrs. Ford, trying to remove even the remotest remembrance of the unkindly action of the prejudiced Southerner, BERRY O'KELLEY OF N.C. STORY OF HIS CAREER The address of Berry O'Kelley of Method, N. C., delivered at the recent session of the National Negro Business League at Boston, Mass., was an interesting disclosure of the various events in the life of a successful, self-made man. There is so much food for thought that the address is being given in its entirety, as follows: "WHOLESALE MERCHANDIZING." Address Delivered by Mr. Berry O'Kelley, of Method, North Carolina, at the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League in Boston, Md. Ladies and Gentlemen and Delegates. By request of your president (Dr. Booker T. Washington), I will endeavor to state in a few words what I have been attempting to do and what I have are accomplished along the line of gentlemen merchants in order that you may be assured of the character of men handicapped, let me say that I am a wholesale dealer in groceries and general merchandise, including flour, hay, oats, nuts, cotton, and other products, meticulous in wares on the Southern Railroad. The president, in introducing me, state that I was from Raleigh, North Carolina, but really my place of business is three miles from Raleigh, from which I am being now located at Method, N.C. I began business with $5. I was an amateur, so being deprived of both father and mother early in life, and went to life with my kind-hearted aunt, who raised me. It is to her I was raised, and it is to my career. Before going to work I won't tell you what year, for it might disclose how old I am. I went to work for a Mrs. S. K. Brown for $5 a month. Sometimes later on I was persuaded to change my employment and was hired by a railroad where I worked for fifty cents a day as "water worker" there but did not stay long because I could not stay there. I did not like that kind of life, so I went back to the same lady and continued working for her at the handsome salary of $5 a month. Of course, I was young then and at first my amity got all the money I made—all I made was hers, or as my own older I made $5 of my earnings kept on working for only $5 a month, by denying myself I managed to save something each month. If only a little, until I had saved $100, which was a their saved up, a business manager, Mr. C. H. Woods, a business manager and his business manager, there by. One time they came to there with him, which their boss became attached to me and finding out that I had $100 he induced me to become a partner of his. I bought a half interest in his business, paying the $100 cash down and I went into the grocery business by myself, and I found that in order to succeed in the grocery business was to give the people the same value for their money as any other grocerian was able to give after making up the difference. I have eleven problems that method, I found no trouble in getting people to deal with me. My only trouble was to get money enough to buy what they wanted, in order that they wanted in order that they might deal with me. I merely mention this point. My business men complain that their race don't patronize them, when they themselves have not taken the proper steps to win or deserve their trade. To-day my business is prospering, my customers are colored as well as white and to many of them I ship in carload Invested in Real Tatate. After succeeding in the grocery business so well, I wanted to buy some land; so I bought a farm near Raleigh, NC, and from that time until now I have been trying to add to my real estate holdings, at the same time conducting a large grocery and general merchant business, lots of things, and doing fairly well. I want to say especially to 'the young men up this way (Boston). Lots of you don't know anything about the South' only the bad things you sometimes read about in the newspapers go good in that things have go bad there, but I am sure you from personal experience—after living in the South for many years I have never had anybody, white or colored, to block my progress or to object to my living an upright, manly, successful business man. Now that you have read about the right people you people who read so much about the South in the newspapers, and to some of you young men and women of the North who seem to be so wrongly impressed as to the wonderful opportunities for business success that the Southland offers you in almost nine cases out of ten, if not ten cases out of nine, the troubles you read about as occurring down South, are caused by the ignorant, stiffness and wrongdoing of our race, aired man or woman who is self-representing, who tries to live right and do right in a Southern community, but what the white people of that community, with very few exceptions, are willing to lend their help, their encouragement and friendly their encouragement in business. Sometimes course, you may run across some 2 by 2 white people, who are narrow-minded, narrow-hearted, and "not quite right"—indeed in my own town where I live, some years ago I had a little unpleasantness with one of this people in business. Sometimes friends. Up here in the North you have plenty of chance to spend money out very little chance to make it. We need a large number of you young men and women of Boston to come South with your education, come South and come South with your business. You know that "small fruit, though small, cats just as good is large fruit." Questions and Answers Dr. Booker T. Washington—You said you had other lines of business than your grocery and general merchandise business. Tell us, what are these lines? O'Kelley—In addition to my wholesale dealing in groceries and general merchandise, I am in the real estate business, the cotton ten business, farming and perhaps a few other little ventures on the side. *Washington—Do you combine your business to retailing* O'Kelley—I run a retail store by iteload and I have a warehouse on the Southern Railroad, from which I wholesale groceries and general merchandise, such as flour, hay, corn, oats, etc., sometimes shipping in carload lots. Washington—To whom do you wholesale? O'Kelley—To anybody that buys. Washington—What class of goods do you wholesale, did you say? O'Kelley—Package goods, sugar, flour, foodstuffs, grain, hay, cotton-seed meal, hulls, dairy food, canned goods and such like articles. Washington—You mean to say you wholesale to white people" O'Kelley—Yes, sir; they are my friends! Mr. Maloney, of Durham, N. C.—I want to ask the speaker who has just written the freight agent and also the ticket agent at Method, North Carolina" O'Kelley—I am informed that his name is "Harry O'Kelley." Mr. Maloney—What is the name of the public school for colored children in Method, North Carolina? O'Keeley—I believe they call it the 'O'Kelley—I believe they call it the 'Berry'O'Kelley School." Mr. Maloney—Who is its principal? His name is Prof. C. M. Junger. Ample Capital Stock. Washington—Can you tell us about how much business you do per year? *Okley—Can't tell that exactly; it fluctuates.* Washington—What is the amount of digital stock or amount invested in your business? *Okley—I don't know exactly, but I will say this much—enough to run it good.* Capt. James W. Hamlin, Raleigh, N. —Who supplies Shaw University (at N. C.) with all of its provisions? *Okley—I supply them all they will get me. We have been supplying Shaw University for quite a time.* Hamlin—Who is president of the State Fair of North Carolina? *Okley—I am.* Christie Morris, N. C. —I would like to ask Mr. Okley, do you not also own a shoe store in the city of Raleigh, N. C.? *Okley—I have an interest in one—es, sir.* Washington—How did you happen to be postmaster under a Democrat administration? *Okley—I hold it down and give attraction just like I did under the republican administration.* R. W. Thompson (newspaper correspondent), Washington, D. C. -What was the leading colored shoe store in tuleigh, N. C.? *K'elloy-I believe I happen to be the largest stockholder.* Dr. J. R. J. Foster, Ph.D. much a year so you are to qualify including schools, churches, etc; O'Kelley—1, cate, and answer, that ques- tionally have gave rather than mastered Washington. That means a question, for it, brings out the idea that when a member of our race proper, or when the member of any race proper, she should reach down and help somebody else. We want these people to know, of us already know, about your generosity to schools, churches, and other charitable purposes. How about the public school that was named after you? "Kelley—I merely gave them the lot of ground on which it stands, together with a little money and they called it the 'Berry O'Kelley School.'" "Kelley-1 gave last year about $10,000. At least some of them down there say I gave that much; they may have overestimated the amount, but I'm glad to say I gave some, and I'm going to give some more. Connected with Three Churches. Mrs. Stevens, Lynchburg, Va.-Do you hold office in any church? *O'Kelley-I* hold office in three churches. *Mrs. Stevens-Are they all of the same denomination?* *O'Kelley-To other people they are not, but to me they are. I am in a community where there are three churches. On one Sunday or during the week, I go to A's church; the next time I go to I's church; and then I worship in B's church. That is why I want to work with every church with every church in the community for they are all doing good work. I think more of my community than I do of any denomination differences, and I like to work with all classes of my people, doing all I can and helping an adult can in an humble way, for the purpose of the advancement for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. That makes me say I belong to them all. The pastor know I give as much as any other member and do anything I can to help, though I'm not much of a denominational man. I believe being a full-fledged citizen simply does not mean I am able to practices the Golden Rule-"I Help You and You Help Me." Washington—I believe sometime ago there was some agitation in North Carolina about sergregating; the white and colored people in the farming disaffected their ideas. Are any progress—any actual idea, Mr. O'Kelley? ©Kelley—Practically none at all North Carolina is the greatest State in history of States. Washington. We know that—two take all, that for granted. OKelley (continuing)—We have got some of the best white people and some of the best colored people there that you can find anywhere in the civilized world. They get along well together; they are for the most part most friendly toward each other, and so far as segregation is concerned, we have got so many good people in North Carolina, there not much attention paid. It is also the news-paper people who always like to have some yellow news, to publish Property Rights Protected. Washington — The question is whether a man who wants to buy property can purchase where he wants a man hold it after he has bought, it? **O'Kelley—If a Negro in North Carolina has the money to buy a farm he can buy. good land, well located in almost any county of the State; and in upright industrious citizen he will in upright industrious citizen be suspected by his neighbors, white and black. Let me say, my friends, that I have got some interest in property: jointly with white people and jointly with black people in North Carolina in the property right by the side of white people, but you buy some more. I don't know of any special places where we as a race are restricted unless it be such large blocks where the rich white folks don't even want the poorer class of their neighbors to purchase because they know they won't sell to them and keep up the right kind of improvements. Segregation does not mean much unless it is aimed only at us. In the first place, white people own the entire country anyway, and they don't need any law to segregate us, and they don't need any law to segregate country, and, in a sense we are already segregated. They are not giving land away to anybody. Washington—Let us come more direct to the question. "In the practical application of the plan of segregation that was talked about, have you seen in North Carolina, any practical effect on our people?" O'Kelley—Not in our section—I can't speak for the whole State. Washington—Then with regard to the idea of segregation—that is the way you see it? O'Kelley—I don't see it—though all places are not alike in North Carolina. Washington—We thank you very much Mr. O'Kelley; your success should inspire other young men to follow your example.

The coming elections are important for the reasons that they will have great influence on the national elections next year, and also because several vital state questions are to be decided. The revised Constitution is to be accepted or rejected. All citizens who are in favor of bringing the State Government up to a higher standard of efficiency and economy will vote for the new Constitution. The question for the ballot for women is even more important. Let colored voters remember this, the reasoning which holds that the ballot should not be given to women, is very closely related to the reasoning which holds that the ballot should not be given to the Negro. Then it is clear that a vote for woman suffrage in New York is a vote against arbitrary abridgement any and everywhere of the right to vote. We therefore say vote for woman's suffrage. REGISTER TO-DAY. Register, and do it to-day. There are still three registration days left, but don't put it off, register to-day. The booths will be open to-day and to-morrow from 5.30 in the afternoon until 10 o'clock in the evening. On Saturday they will be open from 7 o'clock in the morning. Do not only register, but enroll in the primaries. If you are eligible to vote, qualify yourself. Vote and make your vote count: The ballot is to become, more and more, our greatest weapon in this city. Let us learn to use it. Take what has been accomplished by the colored voters of Chicago, through intelligent organization and solidarity. There are a number of Negroes in various representative and appointive positions in the municipal government, more than a hundred on the police force, and six or seven hundred in the street cleaning department. The new mayor, William Hale Thompson, has appointed seven colored men in the law department, five in the health department, besides giving additional jobs to about 175 more as laborers in the garbage, water water and street departments. That can be called securing recognition as citizens and tax payers. New York has twice as many colored people as Chicago, and the majority of them live within a radius of a mile; so there is no reason why, with the roper organization and use of their votes, they should not accomplish as much as their western brethren. STREET DANGERS. According to the report of the National Highway Protective Society on accidents due to vehicular traffic, thirty-five children were killed on the streets of New York City during the month of September; This is appalling. It is a higher mortality than often results from a regular pitched battle in South American revolutions. But this number includes only children. The total number of deaths in New York City during the month of September, due to vehicular traffic, was sixty-three. That is to say, an average of more than two people a day for thirty days were killed in this city by automobiles, trolleys and wagons. A great part of the blame can be laid to careless and reckless driving, but not all of it. Pedestrians BOGEY-MAN POLITICS.

It is the Macon Telegra- political Dictator in local po A few weeks ago we had occasion to call attention to the political attack made upon the Mayor of Jacksonville, Fla., because, in speaking at a meeting of colored citizens, he addressed them as "Ladies and gentlemen." One of our readers has sent us a copy of the Macon (Ga.) News of September 21 last. This issue of the News contains an example of demagogy of the same sort, only more so. It appears that the Macon Telegraph has instituted a column devoted to publishing the affairs of the colored people of the community; the News seizes upon this to make an attack upon the ticket which is evidently being supported by the Telegraph in the approaching elections. It is another case of the innocent Negro being made the political buffer or, more strictly, the political football. The attack takes the form of a half-page advertisement, in big black-face type and is signed "Citizens' Campaign Committee." The general signature of "Citizens' Committee" covers a multitude of sins, and saved anybody from affixing his name to a document which we are sure, very few white men in Macon would not be ashamed to sign. The advertisement is long, but we do not see how we can cut out a single word; so here it is in full: Disclosure of the bald issue that the Macon Telegraph formerly "A Thoughtful Paper, for Thinking People," publishes and distributes daily and Sunday a separate and distinct paper "For Negroes Only," copies as a personal effort to every citizen of Macon who loves his City and his State. This "colored edition" is not devoted to the educational or moral advancement of the Negro. This "colored edition" is not devoted to the economic development of the Negro population of our city. This "colored" edition is not devoted to the business and industrial progress of the Negro. This Negro edition is essentially and exclusively social in character. It consists of the regular White Edition in toto with a Negro social page added. It both stimulates and appeals to the Negro's inherent and instinctive hunger for social equality. Under the caption "News About Colored People and Their Personal Affairs," are submitted below samples of "Social Items" taken at random from the Edition Africanus: The Smart Set Dance at the Pythian Temple Friday night was very exciting. Mr. Many young people were present and this was the opening dance of the season, it was hailed with much delight. Many beautiful evening gowns were worn by the ladies. All the latest dances were indulged in. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rohert Arnold yesterday, and left a nine pound baby boy. Mother and baby are doing nicely. "Miss Lillian Braswell returned home a few days ago from Tennessee, where she has been attending school at Fisk University. She was accompanied home by Miss Ima Dupont of Key West, who will spend a few days in the City the next Mile Plaus. Mr. Frank Hutchelson, who has just returned from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, brings back a good report of the Georgia boys, and especially those from Macon. Mr. Richard Lockett led the Freshman Class of sixty-four students. He states that the Georgia fellows are looking forward to the college life of the University." The Telegraph established in 1826 is indeed a representative Southern daily with its regular edition for the general public, its Industrial Journal for the laboring man, and its social equality edition for Pleasant Hill. Restless must lie the ashes of its former distinguished and lamented editor, Chas. R. Pendleton, who for a generation was a champion of white supremacy and the implacable foe of any step toward political and social equality for the Negro. And it is this same paper, under a new management it is, that now seeks to dictate how our White Primary should be conducted by the thirteen honest and fearless Georgians, who compose the City's executive committee. It is this same paper, prostituting the cherished tradition of the slave trade, to the dollars, that practically named the Smith Aldermanic candidates, and is leading the fight for the straight Smith Ticket. It is the Macon Telegraph that aspires to the role of political Dictator in local politics. Bridges Smith is merely a means to an end.

How long the white people of the South are going to be fooled by this sort of a game, we do not know; but it is a game which has been played so long they ought to know it thoroughly by now. What we should like to know is if the men who make a political bogey-man out of the Negro, in order to frighten support away from their opponents, are not morally conscious of the injury they are doing an innocent people. Take the case above; first of all, there is nothing touching on "social equality" in the news items in The Telegraph; all of the "affairs" are strictly among the colored people themselves; and, in the second place—and more to the point—is the fact that the colored people of Macon are probably no more interested in Smith and his ticket than they are in Jones or Green or any other political aspirant. Nevertheless, because the Citizens' Committee wants to fight the candidate of The Telegraph they do not scruple to stoop to such a means; nor does the fact that their action will stir up race hatred against the colored people of Macon deter them. The better white people of Macon and the whole South should not only refuse to be fooled by such tricks, but should show their contempt for the men who stoop to them. COMMENT HERE AND THERE.

It would be hard to conceive a broader and higher platform for a newspaper. It cuts out a pretty big job, but we have no doubt that Editor Simmons will be able to carry it out. We wish the Louisville News and its new editor every success. We know in the past many times of working on a lot of issues and the many nothing at all. On the manifestation of industries and the administration of the affairs of a great manufacturing plant, Mr. Ford is, perhaps, the most eminent authority; in the country; but on questions of naval construction, of international law and international finance, he could do nothing less than fall down, if he talked very much. And so it seems that Mr. Ford, who has been receiving more attention in the newspapers than anybody in the country, excepting the President, Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Bryan, is about to pass into contemptuous oblivion. We wonder how many colored young men and women realize that the largest university in the world is located in this city. We should like to know how many colored young men have ever thought of the possibility of taking advantage of what this great school offers right at their doors. We want to say to the colored young men of New York that a large proportion of those 14,573 students are poor, young Jews from the East Side. Young Jews whose fathers came to this country ignorant and, most likely, penniless. If the poor, young Jewish men can take advantage of Columbia, why can't the young colored men do it? Since establishing "The Poetry Corner" we have several times received a contribution which it gave us real pleasure to read and to publish. Those times have been rare, considering how many contributions we receive. We read through scores of poems to find one which we feel justifies publication; and often we do not find that one. The other day we received a letter from Mrs. Thomas C. Coleman of Oakland, Cali, enclosing a poem called "Ships of a Day." Mrs. Coleman said very modestly in her letter that if the verses were unavailable, to destroy them. We publish the verses in to-day's "Poetry Corner," and we are sure that a reading of them will show why they were not destroyed. We wish we could say that they will also show why so many contributions sent to "The Poetry Corner" have been returned or destroyed. We do not know how long Mrs. Coleman has written poetry, or how much she has written, but so long as she can write verses like "Ships of a Day" we hope she won't stop. A HAITIAN ON HAYTI. M. Chauvet, a leading editor of Haiti is in this country endeavoring to bring about a better understanding of his fellow countrymen, their needs and aspirations. Among other things he had the following to say in an interview in the New York Sun: "More capital, better methods of farming and manufacturing, a great abundance of work will help vacation of my people. And these men are finished at once. More than 35-000 former revolutionists who lived on political and army graft are this minute idle." hour or more. Then they beg for money as long as they had preached. They dismiss the people anywhere from 10 to 11 o'clock and many times they want different board meetings on Monday night. And they wonder why they lose their congregation. The reason why is because it don't take much to drive people away from the place because of being kent half of the night they don't go very often. They have got to get up the next morning and go to work. The preacher and his family can stay in bed all day if they choose. There are a few Negro preachers that are interested in the welfare of the race. They are so much interested that they will advise their people to save their money, buy their homes and go into business. But I say they are few and "As a Haytian who has lived in the United States and understands the American ideals and pleaded for them to my people," said Mr. Chauvet earnestly, "I call upon the Government of the United States to use its splendid opportunity to do more for Hayti that keep it well in hand. I hope that, as in the case of Cuba, the United States will make good job of governing Hayti. 'What good job of governing is governmental' apointers who are honorable, efficient and enough imbued with the real foreign policy of the United States to help my country become more prosperous, more peaceful and contented.' M. Chauvet evidently knows what he is talking about and has no doubt, summed up the situation in the above words. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Negro Ministers and Race Papers. To the Editor of The Age: I do not see why the Negro ministers do not encourage the race to read their own journals. The Negro journals will do more to get the Negro together as a race than half of the Negro preachers. They do not even encourage their con- servatives to read the Negro journals. I hope to see the day when the Negro will have just as few of the white man's journals in his home as the white man has of the Negro journals in his home to read. Not until then will we get together as an ace. Enclosed find $1.50 for a year's sub- scription.

To the Editor of The Ace: 16 the Editor of the Age: a agree with Arthur G. Shaw in his book *Ago to Agogo* ago concerning the Negro and his uplift, so far as some of the Negro ministers are concerned. But there is a theory that has been tried by other races and found to be solid and that theory is the gospel of Dr. Booker T. Washington. There may be as many other theories as there are followers. Yet that gospel of Dr. Washington being trying to redeem the Negro from the clinches of the false leaders. That gospel is being put into action throughout the South, and those that are converted by that true gospel cannot be duped. As Mr. Shaw says, the Negro preacher is not what he should be. And what the Negro preacher is the Negro preacher claim they are called to preach. The white preachers do not claim they are called. The Negro that does the most harm and the least good is the kind that boast of his calling the most. And not one out of ten that boasts of his calling has been through high school or college. They may be the most of people with a, high school education and they are often making mistakes. And yet trying to enlighten the people. And by the preachers being ignorant they do not enlighten the people. There are only a few who know how to open and close a service on time. They have on the front of the house and yet they, fail to start when they say they would. They take their text any time from 8 to 9 o'clock at night and preach for one tour or more. Then they beg for money as long as they had preached. They dismiss the people anywhere from 10 to 11 o'clock and many times they want different board meetings on Monday night. And they wonder why they loose their congregation. The reason why is because it don't take much to drive people away from church and because of it they don't lift off their shoes. They don't go very often. They have to get up the next morning and go to work. The preacher and his family can stay in bed all day if they choose. There are a few -Negro preachers that are interested in the welfare of the race. They are so much interested that they will advise their people to save their money, buy their homes and -go into business. But they say they are few and hard to work yet. They are our preachers. Now, how are we to get away from this set of inferior leaders? If we are ever to be what we should we will have to speak out like Mr. Shaw and not only speak but act. Give the preacher a decent living salary; never mind the rest. Save your money, buy your homes, go into business. Take up your own leaders; don't slow down. We want this Dr. Washington's labor will have not been in vain. Is it Time to Leave the South? To the Editor of THE Age: If it is a fact there is no place like home. But if we cannot live in peace without being shot down, burned at the stake, or hung without any justice meted out to us whatever, it is high time for us to roam. We are of the south, our home was then, so many of our people murdered, so many of our people murdered for nothing, at least two-thirds of them hung or lynched without a trial or a word, guilty or not, it appeared reasonable for us to move. So far as death and justice is concerned for us, it is our next move because our lives are in danger. We may be in the majority but down there the outlaws and the minority wits 'all the time. Let us not kill, but get revenge by leaving our dear old homes. If they, the white people there, won't protect us, give us justice, we must emigrate. We give us justice, we must emigrate. We are against us. So let us cry and leave our dear old homes, for that is the best policy. Silly European War Leader. To the Editor of T0e5 AGE: This war would have been over if this had been an up-to-date country, but its leaders are as silly as a 10-year old boy in the matter of organization. The fear of crushing Germany and getting into had grace with supercapitalists and office wire pullers, and the merchant trading clique, it at the bottom of it all. There is nothing but chaos here, and hollow diplomacy, selfishness and grab, forcing the poor to the wall at every point possible. LEO W. DANIELS. 34 Crishton St., Springburn, Scotland, via Glasgow.

THE CONVICT SYSTEM: — IT SHOULD BE RADICALLY CHANGED. (From the Birmingham (Ala.) News.) The writer of this article has been in newspaper work in this State for thirty-five years, and throughout that period he has been involved in the deposition of leasing its convicts has been a source of friction and criticism, amounting at times to serious scandal, away from the eighties there was a growing investment in the Legislature, which developed a horrible situation at that time. The legislation over that report brought about a change in the system has always been a cause for explanation and defense. It was much bettered by the policy inaugurated by the governor, the decree that the convicts under the directive of the State, while leasing their labor upon regulated tasks. But that improvement has not brought about proper treatment of the convicts and charges of cruelty are still heard. The whole trouble is that the State's system is fundamentally wrong in principle. it assumes that its compliance merely their maintenance must be obtained, but also a profit for the benefit of the State Treasury. Because the large majority of our convicts are Neanderthal wood and drawers of water, it is assumed that any sort of labor is good enough for them, and unfortunately a large section of white opinion has easily or Indifferently accepted that view. The News again asserts without fear of successful contradiction that the State system is peculiar and are not liable to wreck the State has no right to consider the problem from the standpoint of Income. The State treasury is important, but the State must be able to intoxicate the money obtained by making income from convicts the prime consideration. For that matter, it is extremely doubtful directly through ruined lives, wrecked property, or costly costs indirectly to the body politic all the profit that has ever been made out of it. And when the hardships of race rebellion, encouraged by the injustices and outrages of the convict system, are taken into account, there is no calculation of the injury wrought by this ancient system of slam-rabbia. It should be the aim of the Legislature, therefore, to take the high priority in the practices of the convict system shall not be subordinated to income; that the making of money out of the State's dorsetians has done far more harm than good; that the practice of the whole penal establishment must be placed on a high plane in line with modern conceptions of the purposes of the society's punishment of its criminals. The purpose of the law is not merely to punish a criminal for what he has done, but to punish him, but first and foremost to exert a restraining, uplifting, reforming infu- SHIPS OF A DAY How white the clouds that hurry past From some unknown and distant skies Soundless and steady, swift and vast, The pearly gallons, onward fly.

Today he may be useful, turn him back into society a burdenless one, desperate criminal, to wreak vengeance upon society, and if he is a Negro, as in most instances, to make him the implacable, everlasting enemy of the white man. The News does not believe that any convict should be forced by the State into coal mining. It doubts the moral right of the government to take advantage of its temporary power over a convict, and to put him down in earth where he would not have gone continually. The Negro particularly has the structure of the open air and sunshine for forklift generations, and sooner or later health of any Negro is deteriorated by in the conditions of the best coal mining, matter what admirable advances have made in mines for ventilation and said, Negro is for better off in the conditions mature created for him and in which he ancestors have always been in Cincinnati. State has no right forcibly to alter these conditions. The State can provide these convicts, and they will be neither in the long run that way in any other condition. The News has been convinced that road work was idea for convicts. It has been tried by Jefferson. It has been other counties. The results have been excellent. There may be some grounds against, but they are frequently sentiments, and do not weigh heavily against the reasons in favor of the plan. There are only two important obstacles to the change proposed at the State Treasury, in this matter. The one is the condition of the State Treasury, and the necessary consolidation of the tax bill. The other is the opposition of the beneficiaries of the tax system, past, present or prospective, see the ending of county income from county convicts involved in the State's policy against the lease system. The News respects that Governor Henderson's proper concern for the State Treasury is cautious a business man as he takes his active position against the abolition of the lease system. But if the Legislature the policy of profit from the convicts the wisdom to provide revenue to take. And so far as the arguments in favour of the fee system beneficiaries are concerned they are not strong enough to resist against the welfare of society and the best interests of the whole people. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the good man is right or real social progress and for a real social justice to the good name of this State, which to being led at Montgomery by Mr. Walker, will be won. His principle is so strong and purposes are most commendable that Alabama can afford to do right in this matter, and she ought to turn her face to the good man, who will never be any convenient time to —just as well now as in the future.

There's another 'roll on' the shelf in you think your friend is likely to be in you Most of us when presented with the word "Beauty," would immediately think of the outward appearance of something. Various pictures would arise in our minds of things bright and beautiful. There is no subject, more vast and more dubious to discuss than the subject, "Beauty." Why? Because it includes the entire universe and everything therein. The world is made up of all that is beautiful. It is vast because there is nothing in life that does not receive part of its perfection from something else. Since beauty is perfection, there is nothing more desirous, more impressive, more lasting, than beauty. The Sources of Beauty. One may study the beautiful in two ways, either in objects about us, what ever they may be, or in the mind of man, in the faculties that attain it, in the ideas and sentiments it excites in us. Real beauty exists in nature and magand from these develops all other sources of beauty. The foundation of every source of beauty develops from these with every necessity, for loveliness; in each will be found Infinity, Unity Repose. Nature is beautiful when we think of the sky, the clouds, the rain, the waters, the mountains, the trees and the grass. In these are real pictures of beauty. Nature is the greatest, beautifier the world knows. It talks to man and teaches him the value of beauty as it is intended for man's perpetual pleasure and perfection. There is nothing more beautiful than nature and nothing that has reached the perfection of beauty more than man. Nothing that has served as a greater teacher than nature and no scholar more apt than man. It is true that every part of nature has its tale of beauty and every material object plays its part. Every painting, every piece of sculpturing, every phrase of music tells something of beauty. But the greatest instrument of all, which is man, is at the bottom of it; for, if it were not for the artist's skill, Nature is so closely related to man, and man so closely related to nature until it is a problem to decide which is the more beautiful Human Beauty. We admit a public idea of beauty is subject to epidemic desires agitated by passion the slave of fashion and the fool of fancy, distinguishing only between that which is best or worst of that particular class; it can authorize? treel be said that, "Human Beauty" is real beauty and the best after all. We are creatures made after the image of God and should find beauty more exquisite than in the fowls of the air and the things of the earth. The soul of man is the object of real beauty. When we hold the mirror of life before us, we realize what kind of beings we really are; and, to reach the perfection of the soul is not a work of imagination. Man has much to fight against in attaining this victory. Firstly, the perfection of the soul depends upon the influence of the mind upon the body. The body will respond in action, according to the mind, whether good, bad or indifferent. The soul will be no greater than mind or body. There is much to torment the mind and body, but even so, beauty lurks within it all. There is evil diversity, which is the stamp or scar of various degradations. Sickness and sensuity passion and poverty, sorrow and remorse traced in our faces, while our bodies are consumed with sloth and labor and tortured with disease and abused with misuse. Human hearts are without hope and minds without power. The physical beings are bundles of sin. Yet, with all this these tortured bodies, can attain real beauty of the soul. Secondly, the intellectual power will remove the signs and blunts of sensuality and sloth. The intellect should be the master in facing the four evils of the world, which are Pride, Sensuality, Fear and Cruelty. Pride is the origin of all sin and the destruction of human beauty. Sensual character will tear down, while Fear and Cruelty will set every member of the body ajar. But in the recognition of these evils the moral enthusiasm of the soul will break its way through the body and our actions will express our thoughts while the intellectual power will control the great evils. Since matter is inferior to mind let us clothe ourselves in beautiful thoughts. Let us not spend our days and dollars on the clothes our homes and bodies wear and then pick up any sort of vulgar shabby thing and clothe our thoughts. To reach the perfection of human beauty every individual must have something to bestow and something to admire. He must have something to rejoice and admire in the other fellow that he does not find in himself. Then, let us so cultivate and beautify ourselves in order that we may become human beauties. We will realize the good and the beautiful in each other by our actions, words and deeds and not by the perishing and fading features, color of the skin, and texture of the hair which so many of us believe to be real beauty. DANGER OF RACE RIOT IN COATESVILLE Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEMY Coatesville, Pa. Oct. 6—This town is throbbing with repressed danger, with strong probability of racial friction, following the shooting of a white man, Assia George, by a Negro, Alexander Fisher, and the stabbing of Fisher by Joseph Korgus, white, a friend to George. The trouble started with an alleged attack by Fisher's dog on George's child. After rescuing his baby, George attacked the dog. Fisher resented the action and shot George in the right leg below the knee. Korgus crept up behind Fisher and plunged a knife into his back, stabbing him twice. George is in the hospital and will lose his leg. Fisher is also in the hospital and Korgus is in jail. Rumors that a band of 200 men was forming to take Fisher from his cot in the hospital and lynch him, aroused the Negroes. A few years ago Zuck Walker, another Negro, was brutally lynched in this town, and recalling that tragedy, the colored men immediately prepared to to the box- wreny of men, so more men, armed with rifles and shotguns, marching down Main street, arousing great excitement. The authorities promptly disarmed the men. Burgess Jones assured the Negroes that Fisher would be protected and swore in a large number of firemen and special officers. Fifty additional police were also sworn in. There is a heavy guard of Negroes at the hospital to protect Fisher, and others nationated at every exit to the local prison, for the release of Korgus. Brandywine creek, which divides the town, is being patrolled, and citizens are not allowed to cross. The town authorities have decided to ask outside assistance if the matter gets beyond their control.

The Negro Organization Society in Northern Virginia. HAMPTON, Va.—The Negro Organization Society of Virginia made its third annual tour this year, September 13 to 18, in the counties of Northumberland, Richmond, Essex and Westmoreland in the Northern Neck, ending up at the city of Fredericksburg. The party consisted of Major R. R. Moton, Prof. W. T. B. Williams and Capt. Allen Washington of Hampton in situte, president, secretary and treasurer respectively, of the Organization Society; Dr. A. K. Graham of Phoebus, Va., chairman of the executive board; W. H. Crocker of Suffolk, Va., F. D. Wheelock of Hampton, Va., Dr. Norman Lassiter, Newport News, Va., Dr. L. L.

The trip was made on the yacht formerly owned by "Tom Dixon," and known as the "Dixie," but which is now owned by Hampton Institute, and is called the "Hampden." The people, both black and white, were cordially responsive to the appeals for better home, better health, better schools, better farms, and closer co-operation between the races. The people attended the meetings in large numbers, ministers, judges, attorneys for county commons, county superintendents, and men of all degrees of prominence took part on the programs. It is evident from year to year that there is marked improvement in the life of the colored people of Virginia, and that the feeling between the races is more friendly. At various points on the way unusual overtures were made by county officials and leaders of public sentiment to make the party feel welcome and to render its work successful. Well equipped camp grounds, fair grounds and publie buildings of every kind, were placed at the disposal of the party, and at one place the white masonic lodge room was given over as a dining room to the party. Altogether the meetings were the most successful ever held by the Organization Society. Thousands and thousands of people attended them, white and black, women and children, and all went forth from them encouraged and helped. Automobiles, the best in the county, usually driven by their owners, were used to convey the party from the boat to the various places of meeting. WHEELING W VA Wheeling, W.

ANNONCEMENT that the Smart Set will play a return engagement at the Lafayette Theatre 'next week, commencing Monday, October 11, has been the chief toplet for conversation among local theatre-goers this week, as hundreds who were unable to gain admission to see "George Washington Billion Abroad" during the recent engagement of the Smart Set at the Lafayette, and have been eager to get an opportunity to see the best production ever put out by the managers of the company. While vaudeville and motion pictures are still popular in Harlem, a musical show now and then is desired to relieve the monotony. This fact was proved a few weeks ago when the Smart Set played to; standing room at both afternoon and evening performances. As the public at this time seems to possess a craving for colored musical shows, Messrs. Morganstern & Walton are striving to do all, in their power to 1914 meet these demands. The bringing back of the Smart-Set for another week's engagement is their first move in this direction. Salem Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, Blanche Thompson, Hattie Akers and all who helped to make the recent engagement of the Smart Set a success will be on hand to win the favor of Harmleites. The policy of the Lafayette Theatre will not be changed on account of the second appearance of the Smart Set. The prices will remain the same—matines, 5 and 10 cents, except Sundays and holidays; and the evening prices will be 10, 15 and 25 cents. No seats will be reserved. The engagement will be for one week only. To use a familiar expression heard this week: "The bill was a corker at the Lafayette." From a standpoint of quality this bill could have stood comparison with any big time bill, and in Harlem nowadays the colored theatre-goers demand more than the vaudeville big Monday matinee, the word went out that "the bill was a corker," which insured good business. The Whitman Sisters & Co. are back in Harlem after a year's absence, and the widely known sisters and their associates dance about, sing and make merry as only the Whitman Sisters can. Mae Whitman is not with the act, owing to illness, but Essie, Alberta and the little Miss Whitman are just as entertaining as ever, and the boys continue to score as comedians and dancers. The songs in the turn were written by Alberta Whitman. The costumes are up to the usual high standard long ago set by the Whitman Sisters. Moss & Frye have always been a hit at the Lafayette Theatre, but this week they provoke a riot of laughter in their new offering, which is easily the best in which they ever appeared. The non-sensical discussion indulged in by Moss & Frye is a big laugh from start to finish, and they close the act with vocal numbers which are effectively rendered. Aside from being good comedians Moss & Frye enjoy the distinction of being good singers. It is not a case of only one of them attracting serious attention as Frank Val. Both can sing. Fran Val is a very versatile young man, demonstrated his ability as a strong single by holding down the fifth position on the bill and going big. Ward tells jokes, sings and dances, the most novel thing in his turn being a dance with his fingers. Truax & Simia have a classy singing act, constructed on original lines. Both are singers far above the level of mediocrity. Fern & Swish will applause as singers and piano-players, and the Kope Trio did some good work with hoops and Indian clubs. The musical numbers tendered between the acts by the Lafayette Theatre Orchestra, under the direction of Marie Lucas, are being highly praised these days. Charlie Chaplin pictures are still a big feature every Wednesday. ```markdown ``` IDA FORSYNE THE HARVEST BALL The Tempo Club GENERAL ADMISSION 50 cents BOXES, Seating 8, (Not Including Admission) $5.00 LOGES, Seating 6, (Including Admission) $5.00 Tickets售在 advance at the TEMPO CLUB, 119 W. 136th St. Phone Anduben 441 THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 1951 130th street, said that the document of Paternalism which has been long neglected in the teaching of modern thought is coming to the front tease in both State and church organization. In the state organization the Constitution embodies this doctrine. The spirit in this doctrine is beginning to shape national and international thought along the line that all government should be developed and maintained for the good of all that are governed. Therefore there should not be any special classes or privileges; that all the children of a constitutional government, should share equally and participate alike in the intellectual and business life of the world. The consolence spirit in the pattern of the patterning spirit in government is participating labor movements, socialism and anarchism; for these things are nothing more than protests and revolts against individual national and international organized selfishness. Legal frightfulness cannot hold back and keep the spirit of paternalism that is manifesting itself in the State from triumphing; because it is the immensal spirit, throughout the ages with kept this religious truth in the hearts and minds of His chosen. All scientific thinkers agree that the universe is harmoniously, benevolently and eternally arranged; and all thinkers agree that there is an intelligent and all-powerful reality controlling in person we call the Father, God gave to this world a concrete historical character, who was qualified and did give to us a living example of the doctrine of Paternalism. Though the people were unworthy of Him, He showed tenderness and mercy in their sorrows and distress and short-sighted being. For His disciples suspidity and short sightedness He demonstrated the Father's wonderful patience, for their indifference and coldness of heart, He showed the highest affection and solicitude. As an illustration of His tenacity and love, He says, "I will give you a hand." Therefore it is His spirit that is rebaptising and renewing us into one female as children of God.

The presiding justice of any appellate division is also authorized, in case of the absence or inability to act of any justice thereof, to assign any justice of the supreme court to it in the appellate division during such absence or inability, but for a period not longer than four months in any year. It is further provided, on appeals from judgements convection to criminality, the appellate division or the appellate term, as the case may be, may reduce the sentence imposed by the trial court or judge. For the purpose of better distribution of the judicial business of the department the justices of the appellate division in each department are given power to fix the times and places for holding, not only the special terms of the supreme court (all which equity cases only are triable), but also all other terms of the supreme court in that department, and to assign the justices in the department to hold such terms. The object of provisions referring to the court of common plans for the city and county of New York, the superior court of the city of New York, the superior court of Buffalo and the city court of I2o-8313, are stricken out.

In the case of another herer. The testimony in equity cases shall be taken in like manner as in cases at law; and, except as herer otherwise provided, the legislature shall have the same power to alter and regulate the jurisdiction of the court in equity that it has heretofore exercised. Abstract.-By this section as amended the present prohibition against a judge or justice sitting in the appellate division or in the court of appeals in review of a doctrinal case, which he is at the time a siding member, is extended to the appellate term, the same reasons which induced the prohibition in the one case being equally applicable to the other. The official terms of the justices of the supreme court shall be fourteen years from and including the first day of January next after their election. When a vacancy shall occur otherwise than by expiration of term in the office of a judge, the vacancy shall be filled for a full term, at the next general election, happening not less than three months after such vacancy occurs, until the vacancy shall be so filled, the position of the judge shall be filled for the senate. If the senate shall be in session, or if not in session the governor, may fill such vacancy by appointment, which shall continue until and including the last day of December next year, or sit at the position of the vacancy shall be filled. Section 8. To secure a more simple, speedy, and effective administration of justice, it shall be the duty of the legislature to act with all cofficient speed upon the report of the court, and to act promptly and attentively to the legislature by the governor on the twenty-fifth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, and to enact a brief and simple civil practice act and to appoint a separate body to practice the civil procedure in the court of appeals, supreme court and county courts. The legislature may make the civil practice rules or any part thereof applicable to such other courts as it may provide. Therefore, if any other body is appointed to perform than five years, the legislature may appoint a commission to consider and report what changes, if any, there should be in the law and rules governing civil procedure. The legislature shall act on the report of each body, and the legislature shall not otherwise, or at any other time, enact any law prescribing, regulating or changing the civil procedure in the court of appeals, supreme court or county courts. The legislature shall make to make and amend civil practice rules shall certify that legislation is necessary. After the adoption of the civil practice rules by the legislature under the requirement of the power to alter and amend such rules and to make, alter and amend civil practice rules shall rest and remain in the courts of the state to be exercised by the judges of the supreme court and the county courts, public divisions of the supreme court, or by such judges or justices of the court of appeals, the supreme court and the county courts as the legislature shall choose, is intended to remedy the existing evils of the civil practice in the courts of the state. It contemplates the adoption by the body of practice rules which must take the of the practice now regulated by the code of civil procedure. Under the present procedure the practice is regulated by rigidity category. encourage consultative processes over more matters of interest. If the provisions of this section are carried out into the practice will be required to be flexible court rules which will be used to develop disputes over matters of practice. It places the law on the court's rather than upon the legislature for the administration of justice upon the courts rather than upon the legislature for the action notத் and by the board of a statutory consolidation of which has been engaged upon the task for over ten years. Its attention, however, during the past two years being chiefly continued to be the course of the court's board consolidated the general structures of the state and prepared the statutory record of the special private and local status of the state as well as that of the procedure in three volumes which is referred to in this section to the volume of the legislature and is being examined by a joint-committee of the legislature and committee of the various business institutions of the state. This is the first step in the legislature for action at its next session. Section 7. The court of claims to continued and shall be a court of record.

Senate districts shall be altered by the legislature shall provide for an enumeration for that purpose, in making such alterations the legislature shall so provide that each senate district shall contain as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants in a compact form as practicable [and shall remain unaltered until the return of another enumeration] and shall, at all times, consist of contiguous territory, and no county shall be divided in the formation of a senate district whose senate districts wholly in such county. No town and no block in a city inclosed by streets or public ways shall be divided in the formation of senate districts; nor shall any district contain a greater excess in population over an adjoining district in the same county than the population of the area or block when adjoining such district. Counties, towns, or blocks which, from their location, may be included in either of two districts, shall be so placed as to make (said) such districts most nearly equal in number of inhabitants, excluding allens. No county shall have four or more senators unless it shall have a full ratio for each senator. In county shall have the three-third of all the senators; and no two counties or the territory thereof as (now) organized on the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, which are adjoining counties or which are separated only by public waters shall have more than one-half of all the senators. The ratio for supporting senators shall be provided in addition to the number of inhabitants, excluding allens, by fifty and the senate shall always be composed of fifty members except that if any county having three or more senators at the time of any apportionment(,) shall be entitled on such ratio to an additional senator(,) or senators, such additional senator(,) or senators, the county may county in addition to the fifty senators, and the whole number of senators shall be increased to that extent. Every county heretofore established and separately organised, except the county of Hamilton, shall always be entitled to one member of Hamilton, before he be erected unless its population shall entitle it to a member. The county of Hamilton shall elect with the county of Fulton until the population of the county of Hamilton be exceeded by the ratio entitle it to a member. (Just the legislature may abolish the said county of Hamilton and annex the territory thereof to some other county or counties.) The whole population of inhabitants of the state, excluding allens, by the number of members of assembly, shall be the ratio for apportionment which shall be made as follows: one member of assembly shall be apportioned to every other county, the remaining members of assembly shall be apportioned to the counties having more than two ratios according to the number of inhabitants, excluding allens. Members apportioned on remainders shall be apportioned to the county of Hamilton, and the order thereof respectively. County shall have more members of assembly than a county having a greater number of inhabitants, excluding allens. Until after the county shall be apportioned to the several counties as follows: (cus merites, at length, the number of members apportioned by the constitution of 1854. Such apportionment is not re-stated in the constitution, but is sueded by the apportionment by legislative enactment under chapter 727 of the laws of 1807, which is still in force and not affected by this revised constitution. Resolution is left to the legislature of 1918.] Section 10. The legislature of its own motion, in the manner to be provided by joint rule which shall continue in force until abolition, may conclude its assembly, may conclude to take action in the matter of removal of a judge of the court of appeals or justice of the supreme court. The assembly of its own motion, in the manner to be removed, may force until abolished or amended by the assembly, may conceive for the purposes of impeachment. At a meeting under this section no subject shall be adopt upon except that for the meeting the meeting is herein authorized to be held. ABSTRACT.—The legislature now has the power to remove judges of the court of appeals and justices of the supreme court. The assembly as a separate body, to constitute impeachment proceedings. No specific grant of power is given at present either to the legislature as a whole, or the assembly as a separate body, to constitute impeachment proceedings. No foregoing amendment is to rectify that situation. Section [R] 11. No person shall be sible to the legislature as a member of the time of his election, or in within one hundred days previous thereto has been, a member of congress, a civil or military officer under the United States, or an officer under any other jurisdiction, or a member of the legislative recess or otherwise. The foregoing amendment is to rectify that situation. Section [R] 11. No person shall be sible to the legislature as a member of congress, a civil or military officer under the government of the United States, or an officer under any other jurisdiction, or a member of the legislative recess or otherwise. The second sentence is retained, however, to the effect that a person who becomes a member of the legislature may not hold such office after accepting an offer under the federal government of a city. ABSTRACT — The above section is changed so as to forbid the legislature berefted to pass any bill until the lapse of three years, and to prevent the legislature from print of the bill, thus removing an exception by which a bill may now be passed in less time if the governor so recommends. This change insures at least three years' scrutiny, by the legislature and the governor, of the bill before it is passed, without any exception. The latter part of the section is changed so as to remove the prohibition against amendment of a bill during the general debate on the question of its final passage. The legislature must, because a motion to recommend, amend and report forthwith as amended is manifestly proper notwithstanding the present language. The proposed change restores in substance the provisions of the constitution, and the procedures of the practice during the last- sixty-nine years and simplifies and expedites procedure. Section (16) 77 No private or local bill, which may be passed by the legislature, shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title. Section (17). 18. No act shall be passed which shall provide that any existing law, or any part thereof, shall be made or deemed a part of (said) such act, or which shall enact that any existing law, or part thereof, shall be applicable, except by inserting it in such act. Section (18) 19. The legislature shall not pass a private or local bill in any of the following cases: Changing the name of persons[1]; Laying out, opening, altering, working, discontinued, roads, highways or air leys, or for draining swamps or other low lands[1]; Locating or changing county seat[s][]; Locating or changing venues of venue in civil or criminal cases[]; Facerporating villages[s][]; Facerporating members of members of boards of supervise[s][]; Selecting, drawing, summoning or empa- panelling: grand or petit jurons[;]. Regulating the rate of interest on money[;]. The opening and conducting of elections or designating places of voting1; or designating places of voting[.]; or designating fees, percentage allowances of public officers, during the term for which [said] such officers are elected or appointed[.]; Granting to any corporation, association or organization the right to lay down railroad track[.]; Granting to any corporation, association or organization the right to lay down railroad track[.]; Granting to any private corporation, association or individual any exclusive privilege, immunity or franchise whatever[.]; Granting to any person, association, firm or corporation from execution on real or personal property[.]; Providing for building bridges, and chartering companies for such purposes, except on the Hudson river below or over the waters forming a part of the boundaries of the state. The legislature shall pass general laws providing for the cause enumerated in this section, except on the Hudson river below or over the waters forming a part of the boundaries of the state. But no law shall authorize the construction or operation of a street railroad except upon the condition that the property bounded on the property be obtained, or in case the consent of such property owners cannot be obtained, the appellate division of the supreme court, in the department in which it is proposed, to construct upon application, commission, or determine, after a hearing of all parties interested, whether such railroad ought to be constructed or operated, and their determination, confirmed by the court, may be determined, the consent of the property owners. ABSTRACT.—This section now in article 3 as section 12, defines most of the cases in which the legislature is prohibited from to which private or local laws may apply, in such matters, must be taken by the enactment of general laws. The amendment includes in the list of matters to which private or local laws may apply, association, association or individual the right to prove a claim against the state or any civil division thereof, or authorizing a civil division to allow or pay a claim or acco-Section 12.10. The legislature shall neither audit nor allow any private claim or account against the state or account any money to pay such claims and account against the state as shall have been audited and allowed according to law. ABSTRACT.—This amendment is to prevent allowing any private claim or account against a civil division of the state, thus extending the existing provision which prohibits the legislature from auditing or accounting for money to pay such claims against the state. As to claims against the state, the spirit of the prohibition has been sometimes overlooked by the direct appropriation of money to the legislature to pay such claims and accounted for. The section as amended will prohibit that practice. Section 12.11. The amount of two-thirds of the members罢了 to each branch of the legislature will be paid, the bill appropriating the public money or property for local or private purposes. No public money or property shall be an appropriated for the construction or improvement of a building, furnishing, waterway or other work plans and estimates of the cost of such work shall have been filed with the secretary of state by the superintendent of public works, together with the budget for the construction of the state then requires that such improvement be made at state expense. This section shall not apply to the contributions of the state to the budget for grade递增 or in-stream from the budget for grade递增 from the proceeds of bourse authorized under section four of article six of the constitution or section four of former article seven thereon as in force on the first day of January, 1999. **Abstract.** The second paragraph is the matter added to the section and comprises the entire amendment. Under proposed article six the superintendent of public works has full charge of the works it is believed that his estimates of money needed therefore afford the best source of information for the legislature to not upon in appropriating money thereon. Such information is beneficial to particular localities. The amendment is designed to have the necessity for an improvement determined in each case on its merits and not by the budget. In order to please the voters of his district, the effect of the last sentence is to leave the legislature free to appropriate money, without a certificate from the superintendent of public works, for eliminating grade grades and for certain highway construction. Section [21.12]. No money shall ever be paid out of the treasury of this state or other government, nor shall the management, except in pursuance of an appropriation by law, nor unless such payment be made not later than three months after the close of the fiscal year and made made; within two years next after the passage of such appropriation not, and every such law, making a new appropriation, continuing the appropriation, electively the sum appropriated, and the object to which it is to be applied; and it shall not be sufficient for such law to refer to any appropriation, continuing the appropriation made by the legislature in the year one thousand and hundred and eleventh shall be made for a period ending the thirteenth day of June, and for a period ending the fourteenth day of June, and therefore the fiscal year of the state shall be on the thirteenth day of June of each year, unless otherwise provided by law. Abstract.—This amendment makes the following conditions: At present appropriation is made for time from the year through the year, two years from the date of their passage. The amendment makes them expire at a deniate date of the fiscal year, and therefore the fiscal year of the fiscal year in which they were made. At present the fiscal year begins October first. The amendment brings to effect the time when the signature adjourns. [22. Sections seventeen and eighteen of this article shall not apply to any bill, or the amendments to any bill, which shall be presented to the then legislators who have been appointed pursuant to law to revise the statutes.] Abstract.—This section is eliminated because the statutory provision thereof is the only one completed its work paid. attachment shall be limited in its operation. to such appropriation, which imposes, continues or revives a tax, shall distinctly state the tax, and the object to which it is sufficient, to refer to any other law to such tax or object. house of the legislature, of any act which imposes, continues or revives a tax, or creates a debt, or charge, or public or trust money or property, or releases discharges or commutes any claim or demand taken by yeas and nays, which shall be duly enforced upon the journals, and three such cases, house shall in all such cases, be necessary to constitute a quorum thereth.] ABSTRACT—The elimination of either house of the legislature, from defeating, by mere absence, the enactment of finance, or the ascent of a majority of the members. Section 116.2.10. There shall be in each county, except in a county, wholly included in a county, composed of such members and elected in such manner, and for such period as in any may be provided by law, in a city which is the center of the county, the powers and duties of a board of superviseur may be devolved upon the municipal, assembly, common council, or legislative body of the city. Proceded, however that the kelipeture, by general law, may or counties, not wholly included, in a city, and such form of government to become effective in any county only enk-approved by the elector may proceed, such manner as the kelipeture may proceed. No local or special law relating to a county shall be enacted unless a county includes within a city shall be enacted except upon request, by resolution, of the county or county to be affected. ABSTRACT—This amendment permits the legislature of a county to provide a county government by New York may choose, between different forms of county government, for the vote of the electors of the county. Under this, the governing county supervisors, if this legislature and county electors provide so far a different form of government,vents the enactment of special or local laws relating to counties, located outside the county, including the government body of each county affected. Section (27.25). The legislature shall, by general inwa, confer upon the boards of supervisors, or other governing bodies of the several counties of the nine such further powers of local legislation and administration as the legislature may, from time to time, doem expedient(f.), and if in counties, which, now have, or may, hereafter, have county auditors or other fiscal officers, authorized to audit bills, accounts charges, claims or demands against the county, the legislature may confer such powers upon (said) such auditors, or fiscal officers, as the legislature may, from time to time, doem, expedient. The legislature may confer upon any, elective or appointment county officer or officers any of the powers and duties, not so specified by the laws of any town or the office of officers thereof related to Nihayans, public safety and the care of the poor. ABSTRACT—The amendment allows the legislature, in the interest of efficiency, economy and uniformity, of administration to against to county officers functions with respect to highway, public safety, and the care of the poor, now held to be within the province of town authorities. Section 183.17. The legislature shall not nor shall the common council of any city nor board of supervisors grant any extra compensation for any person acting as agent or contractor.] No extra compensation shall be granted or allowed to any public officer; be granted, or contracted—by the state or any civil district, officer or by any public officer; be granted, or contracted, by the state, or any such civil district. ABSTRACT - Extra compensation is compensation in addition to (that provided by law or, by contract, by the court). This section prohibits the giving away, of public funds without legal consideration to parties having official attestation, contractual relations with the government, or necessity, for this amendment arises from the changes, made in the, the appropriating and auditing authorities of cities, and the clerics not covered, by, the present section. Section 29.12. The legislature shall, by law, provide for the occupation and employment of prisoners sentenced to the several state, prison, penitentiaries, falls and reformatories in the state; and on and after the first day of January, in the year one thousand stable, twentieth and twenty-eight years of service, any such prison, penitentiary, fall or reformatory, shall be required, or (allowed) allowed to work while under sentence thereto(i.) at any trade, industry of occupation(j.) wherein or whereby his work or the product or profit of his work, shall be farmed out, contracted, given, or sold to any person, firm, association or corporation. This section shall not be construed to prevent the legislature from providing that convict may work for, and that the products of their labor may be disposed of to the state of any political school division thereof; or for or to any public institution owned or managed and controlled by the state or any political school division thereof. **ANIMACY.** The *expression* *political* *dialect* of *animal* *music* is conformed to *qibal*, *amilar*, *referential* *in this* *dialect*. *Animal* *music* is *conformant* to *qibal*, *amilar*, *referential* *in this* *dialect*. Section 25. T&G (capital) shall not use the power to regulate or prohibit manufacturing or industry. Section 26. T&G (capital) shall not use the power to regulate or prohibit manufacturing or industry. An act of the power given to the legal-shares by this new section is self-explanatory. The only which is which, and the governor would probably not be the power to actually prohibit manufacturing or industry in the government's house. ARTICLE IV. Section 1. The executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall hold his office for two years. A lieutenant-governor shall be chosen at the same time, and for the same term.

ABSTRACT. This section is entirely new and contains the bulk of the provisions relating to home rule for cities contained in the first paragraph and is made subject to. (1) the provisions of the constitution, (2) general laws of the state, (3) laws imposed on cities applying to a county not wholly within a city (meaning a county outside of New York city), Subdivisions (2) an enumeration of the general grant of power but not all of them. The general grant of power contained in the first paragraph and in subdivisions (a) and (b) an enumeration of the matters of sinto concern by a provision in subdivision (b) a city may regulate even matters of state concern within its borough. The remainder of the section relates to the amendment of existing charters and of special laws relating to cities and the adoption of the charter of special charters and to special laws relating to cities may be made by the local authorities without the interposition of the legislature. The remainder of the section relates to the frame- bonds or contracting debts. This power of amendment extends, as already stated, even to matters of state concern until and unless the legislature intervenes. The framework of the government of a city is governed by the laws without submission to the legislature applies to the general outline or plan of the city's governmental structure. The adoption by municipalities of new charter is subject to the approval of the legislature by joint resolution. These provisions confer upon cities the power to regulate their affairs within the restrictions and under the conditions stated without resort to the legislature and include the right of court review which the police, for instance, in New York city now enjoy, which right of review can not be affected except with the consent of the board of aidermen of New York city, the board of estimate and apportionment and the mayor and even in such a case the legislature might by general law affecting all the cities of the state provide for a court review for all the police of the states. The general purport of the provisions is to obtain the necessity of repeated applications to the legislature, as therefore, in city matters and to enable cities to control their own property, affairs and municipal government, subject only to the supervisory power of the legislature where is involved (1) the framework of the government, (2) the issuance of bonds or the contracting of debts, (3) matters of state concern, (4) territory outslids of a city or (5) the adoption of new charters? Section [21]. All cities are classified according to the largest federal or state municipality made, as follows: The first class includes all cities having a population of one hundred and seventy-five thousand or more, the second class includes cities having a population of fifty thousand and having a population of hundred and seventy-five thousand; the third class, all other cities. [Laws relating to the property, affaires or government of cities, are divided into general and special city laws; general city laws are those which relate to all the cities of one or more cities, and which relate to a single city, or to less than all the cities of a class.] The legislature may delegate to cities for purposes such as its powers of legislation as in matters of state concern as it may from time to time deem expedient. The legislature may also law relating to the property, affaires or municipal government of any city excepting such as is applicable to all the cities of the state constitution or distinction. This article shall not be deemed to restrict the powers of the legislature to pass laws regulating matters of state concern as distinguished from matters related to property, affaires or municipal government of cities. Laws affecting cities in relation to boundaries, water supply, sewerage and public improvements, including the use of territory outlaws, the use of the state's authority to the government of cities in matters of state concern and applying to less than the cities of the state without classification or distinction are defended for the purposes of this article, a special city laws. Special city laws are conformity with the provisions of this section. After any bill for a special city law, relating to a city,] has been passed by both branches of the legislature, the governor, the mayor, the city council, or jointly transmit a certified copy thereof to the mayor of [such] each city to which it relates, and within fifteen days thereafter the mayor shall return such bill to the (or) who, if the session of the legislature is not, will be subject to the席位调整。shall immediately transmit the same to the governor with the mayor's certificate thereon, stating whether the city or the city of the city is accepted by the mayor, in any other city the mayor and, and in the legislative body there is currently to be the席位调整。for such city will, but the legislature may also be for the legislature of the government of theence of the legislative body in cities of the first cases. The legislature shall provide for public notice and opportunity to submit the席位调整方案 to the bill in every city to which it relates, before action thereon. Such a bill, if it relates to more than one city, shall be made to the席位调整. If the席位 is not, which it relates, and shall not be deemed excepted unless accepted as herein provided, by every city. Whenever any other city shall be accepted to hear, please provide the subject to the席位调整. If the action of the governor. When, during the session at which it was passed, any such bill is returned without any change, or, within such fifteen days is not returned, it may nevertheless gain the place of the席位. If the席位 is not returned, the other city will be passed by both branches of the legislature. If the席位 is not returned, the other city will be to the action of the governor. In every special city law which has been accepted by the city or cities to which it is not accepted by the city or cities, the laws of the city are accepted by the city or cities. The law of the city may be, in every such law which is passed without such acceptance, by the words "passed without the acceptance of the city" or "effort as the case may be." ABSTRACT--The division, under the present constitution, of city laws into general and special city laws has been abolished and special city laws are defined to comprise only the cases enumerated. In this section the legislature is given authority over matters of state concern which bear upon the sovereignty of the state and which has not been surrendered by the municipal government. In the other hand, by this provision the legislature is expressly forbidden to pass laws relating to the property, affairs or municipal government applicable to all the cities of the state thus confirming the exclusive*power granted to cities under the restrictions and conditions mentioned. An important provision of this constitution is the adoption of special city laws which include in their definition all laws affecting less than all the cities of the state and relating to public improvements requiring territory outside a city. These special laws are required to be submitted to the cities for their approval as provided by special city laws. Section 3(5). All elections of city officers, including supervisors and judicial officers of inferior local courts, elected in any city or part of a city, and of county officers elected in the counties of New York (and) Kings, Queens, Richmond and Jirson, and in all counties whoes boundaries are the arms as the only of the city of the�.

ABSTRACT — This section, as amended, continues the legislative method of initiating proposed amendments, but a new procedure has been proposed amendments must be had by both houses of the legislature, sitting together in joint session, prior to taking the final vote; also that such proposed amendments must be made in the members, in final form, for at least five calendar legislative days prior to agreement the term. The purpose of having such an annual constitutional amendment in joint session is to focus attention upon it as an extraordinary occasion and to insure more thorough discussion. The purpose of having such an annual constitutional amendment in joint session prior to final vote thereon is to correct an evident omission in the existing constitution which makes a similar procedure has been incorporated in the above section and also in section two of this article requiring all amendments and proposed constitutions and all questions for the calling of the general elections, thus eliminating the provision in the constitution now in force which permits the legislature to provide for much submissions at special elections. The purpose of this change is to get a more substantial expression of opinion on certain issues, and it is possible to obtain a special election. Abstract.—By this amendment, the question of holding a constitutional convention will not be submitted in the year 1916, as now required, unless the legislature shall so provide; nor is the submission of such question required, under the above amendment, in any stated year; but the question must be submitted every twenty years.
