The New York Age VOL. XXVIX No. 3 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1915 PRICE FIVE CENTS CHAUVET TALKS OF NEW TREATY Outlines Its Provisions, Showing Advantage Gained Over Old Treaty by Haiti Her President to Make Appointments, She Has a Say-Sa in Fixing America's Salaries and in Control of Police. But Ernest Cinaivet Declares that Freedom Had Only Brought Suffering and Disorder-Development of Haiti's Resources to be Aided by the United States Under New Article in Treaty. Ernest Chiauvet, a Haitian editor, now in this country as an informal envoy for the purpose of promoting a better understanding, has outlined the terms of the new treaty between the United States and Haiti signed recently by the Haitian Foreign Secretary and R. B. Davis, the American Charge d'Affaires in Port-au-Prince. He, shows that the United States has complied with the request of the Haitians, making the new treaty less dictatorial in form and fact than the old convention. The new convention contains an entirely new article, which declares: "The United States Government will help the Government of Haiti effectively to develop its agricultural, mining and commercial-resources and will aid it in establishing its finances on a solid basis." This declaration, Mr. Chauvet points out, is warmly welcomed by the Haitian people, inasmuch as they believe, that with permanent order insured in Haiti with the assistance of the United States a new commercial era should be opened in the island. Haiti's President to Appoint Officers. The most important alteration in the administrative regulations is that, instead of the President of the United States appointing the Receiver-General and the Financial Counselor these two officials will be appointed by the President of Haiti on the recommendation of the President of the United States. The text of the new treaty specifies that the Financial Counselor, instead of "exercising the function of a comptroller," as provided by the old treaty, will "make known to the Secretary of Finance such recommendations as may be judged necessary for the prosperity of Haiti." These alterations, points out Mr. Chauvet, though they may not seem important to Americans and do not take the actual control out of the hands of the Americans, yet are considered by the Haitians to be very important. They preserve to them the same form of Government to which they are accustomed and spare them the humiliation they otherwise might feel. Matters on which the Government of Haiti has been given a voice in conjunction with the United States are: An increase in the public debt, fixing the salaries of American officials in the island, the appointment of officers in control of the Haitian police, laws regulating the sanitation of the island, right to enforce the terms of the treaty and power to renew it at the end of ten years. Article 10 has been changed to read that the Haitian Government will make no territorial concessions to any foreign nation. The former note added, "except to the United States." Death of Haiti's Freedom a Good thing Provision is also made for the control of the local police to come into the hands of the Haitians should they prove themselves capable "upon examination" of a command the responsibility. Instead of the treaty being renewable "on demand of one party" it is now stipulated that it may be renewed after ten years "providing it is proven by one or other of the contracting parties that the aims of it present treaty have not been accomplished." --- "The effect of this treaty substantially will be the same as the former one," said Chauvet yesterday, "and more concessions than these my country certainly has no right to expect. If we have the worst of the bargain, it is our fault, for we were given three other opportunities to treat with the American Government and we refused to do so. Now we must accept whether we will or not." It's freedom is dead. That freedom, however, brought with it so many this much suffering and disorder, that the news of its death seemed to my people like the news of the death of a sick person who would rather do anything live. capital, better methods of farming, and manufacturing, a great abundance of work will be the salvation of my people. And these things must be furnished at once. More than 350,000 former revolutionists who lived on political and army graft are this minute idle. "As a Haitian 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 Haiti than keep it well in hand. "I hope that, as in the case of Cuba, the United States will make a good job of governing Haiti. What is now necessary is governmental appointees 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." GEORGIA CRACKERS ROCK NEGRO CHAUFFEURS Special to The New York Age. CANTON, Ga., Oct. 12.—Motorists from various sections of the State, comprising a "Seeing-Georgia" touring party, including cars from the Chamber of Commerce of Mason and other cities, and cars with private owners, passed through Cumming, Forsyth County on the road and among the chauffeurs were numbered. The cars passed through Cumming four of the cars with Negro drivers were stoned and attempts made to take the Negroes from the cars. "The Macon Chamber of Commerce car was attacked and the mob tried to take the driver, but one of the occupants, Mr. Ragan, reached for his revolver and the crowd changed its mind. The cars belonging to Mr. McCullough and Don Wall, both of Atlanta, were attacked with stove-wood, stones and curses, but none of the occupants were hurt. Concerning the attacks, the Albany (Ga.) Herald (white daily), spoke editorially as follows: Several of the "Seeing Georgia" automobiles that were being driven by Negro chauffeurs were vigorously pelted with stones as they were passing through Forsyth County yesterday. It seems that there are several counties in the upper part of the State. People police detected that a Negro chauffeur in a white man's car is a sort of misfit, and such experiences as several of the Around-The-State tourists met with yesterday are not unusual. If Negro chauffeurs are not to be tolerated in a county, in fairness to motorists, why not placard all roads in the county, police detect the effect? If they must be lawless, let them at least be considerate—Albany Herald. WHITE POSTMASTER ACCUSED OF ROBBERY Special to The New York Ag Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WILSON, N. C. Oct. 12, -Hubert Knight, postmaster at Middlesex, Nash county, son of C. W. Knight, one of the leading white citizens of the county, was arrested in Wilson on October 5 as he was about to pay for an automobile with money alleged to be -stolen from the vaults of the Middlesex Banking Co. Knight was an intimate friend of W. T. Valentine, cashier of the bank, and was allowed to keep stamps and other postoffice supplies in the bank vault. After one of Knight's visits to the bank vault, $1,100 in bills were missing. Knight was suspicioned, and it was learned that he had not only paid some debts but had ordered an auto from a Wilson concern. When the machine was ready for delivery Knight was notified and so was the bank. When he reached the garage he was arrested. Middlesex is in the second congressional district, which was formerly represented in congress by H. P. Cheatham and George White. In those days a Negro appointed to office, who made a slip up, caused the comment to be made that "It is just like a Negro, he will steal, and should not be placed in such responsible places." But in this instance the shoe is on the other foot, for in this same district the white postmaster has shown himself to be subject to the same weaknesses and exposed to the same temptations as his brother in black. NEW ROCHELLE SCHOOLS SEPARATING THE RACES Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., Oct. 13.—The charge that colored children are jim crowed in New Rochelle schools, is corroborated by Samuel J. Davis, 24 Brook street, one of the leading colored men of the city in a better to the New Rochelle Daily Star. Mr. Davis declares that the Winnyalt avenue school jim crowism has been practiced for years. The kindergarten classes, he states, have hen either all white or all colored, and that even the Christmas tree exercises are held separately, the white children, parents and guardians in the morning and the Nergees in the afternoon. S. W. Agnew, president of the Haleyon Park Association, one of the town's prominent white citizens, recently called the city council's attention to the repreensible action of certain parents in the Winyah avenue school district, who sent their children to the Mayflower school to avoid contact with colored children. Mr. Davis, in his letter, calls attention to certain candidates for office who have countenanced and supported this jim crow policy. JOHN RICH MENTIONED FOR HAITIAN POST Special to THE BALSTON, MN, Oct. 13.—A persistent rumour has been circulated here that John W. Rich, clerk and stenographer to the chief counsel of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, is being considered for the post of United States Minister to Haiti. When approached by a representative of THE AGR, Mr. Rich denied all knowledge of any movement to send him to Port-au-Prince. He is one of the best known colored men here. President Wilson has sent two white ministers to represent this country in Haiti, and Bailly Blanchard, the last one, is on indefinite leave in this country. Business between this country and Haiti is now transacted either between the State Department and the Haitian Government or through Admiral Caperton, in charge of American marines in Haiti.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 12.-Because a white man, coming from Louisville, Ky., objected to the presence of three young colored people in the Pullman car, the Louisville & Nashville railroad put on a special sleeper for the accommodation of three young colored students, from Louisville to Atlanta, Tuesday, October 5. Miss Louise Matthews, daughter of Prof. W. B. Matthews, principal of Central High School; Miss Wille Mosee, daughter of Revenue Agent William Mozze, and Rufus McKinney, all of Louisville, were en route to this city to enter Atlanta University. Their railroad tickets had been purchased and Pullman accommodations secured, but when they entered the Pullman car at the L. & N. union station, 10th and Broadway, Louisville, a Georgia cracker on his way back home entered an objection to riding in the same car with the three young folks. After a delay of thirty minutes, another sleeper was put on, and the young students were invited into it. As interstate passengers, they were entitled to the service, but the prejudiced attitude of the Georgia cracker made it cost the railroad more than $100. They were accorded every courtesy by the train and Pullman officials. special to the W. V. Koch, A.C.

C., Oct. 12—Some dissatisfaction was caused among colored Cathedrals of Baltimore and this city by the "Jim crowing" of colored marchers in the parade of the Holy Name Societies of Baltimore, Washington and vexity on Sunday. The colored delegation from Baltimore, where there are four colored Catholic churches, was much less than in former years. One church, St. Francis Navarre of Baltimore refused to send any members, appropriating the money for a club house. ORDER OF MOSES TO HOLD 48TH SESSION Special to The New York Act.

Branham, who, on Wednesday afternoon, October 6, saw Larry Shepard, a little ten-year-old Negro boy, who was carrying lunch to his brother who works in Block's candy factory. The policeman had absolutely no case against the rioter, who, with a companion, was passing near the junction of the A. B. & A. railroad and West Hunter street, with a loaf of bread wrapped up under his arm. Officer Branham reported that he saw the two Negro boys with handles and I commanded them to halt. They did not halt and the policeman fired, as he claims, to scare the boy, expecting the bullet to strike a stone wall near by. Instead, the bullet struck the boy in the back, passing entirely through the body. Branham took the boy to the corner of Monohola and Mangum streets and called a Grady Hospital ambulance. Shepard was taken to the Grady Hospital and is in a critical condition. It is not expected that he will live. Branham, of course, continues on duty, ready to sit down some more infant Negroes. WIDOW OF BISHOP H M ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 12—Mrs. Laura L. Turner, widow of the late Bishop H. M. Turner, and president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society of the A. M. L. Church, died at her home here Monday, following an illness, from complication of diseases. Several physicians were in attendance as well as trained nurse, but killed in a car accident. WHITES OF ATLANTA .AGAIN DISGARD LAW Special to Tulsa, New York Act. ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 12—The Georgia State Supreme Court having nullified the segregation ordinance passed by the city of Atlanta, the white citizens of the fourth ward, led by Claude Ashley, councilman; the Rev. A. A. Little, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church; A. W. Farlinger, councilman, and Albert Thomson, alderman, met in a schoolroom of the North Boulevard schoolhouse, and by the dim light of an old-fashioned lantern and a single oil lamp, decided that a dead line would be established by the citizens themselves, to be maintained by force, if necessary. It was Councilman Farlinger's motion which provided that Irwin street on the south and Fort street on the west be established as the dead line, and that while the Negroes would be given ample time to move from within these limits, they would at the same time be made to understand the consequences provided to move. A vigilance committee, composed of one from each block of the dead line is to be appointed by the president of the meeting, Councilman Claud Ashley. Already Forcing Negroes Out. It was brought out in the meeting that a committee of white men had already notified four families of Negroes to move, that two had done so and the others were preparing to do likewise. W. A. Featherstone suggested that an amicable settlement by mutual conference might be had with the Negroes, and so Alderman Thomson, Joseph A. Hill, W. A. Featherstone, Councilman Farlinger and the Rev. A. A. Little were appointed to confer with leading Negroes and report results at a mass meeting to be held in Grace Methodist Church. Councilman Ashley said that organized resistance on part of the whites had become necessary as a result of the action of the State Supreme Court, and that he believed vigorous action would be necessary to maintain the superiority of the white race in that community. He said also that such action would be unnecessary had the supreme court "nobly declared as the Kentucky supreme court did, in the test case of the Louisville segregation ordinance, that Atlanta had done well to pass such a segregation ordinance," instead of nullifying it by constitutional process." CHIEF SAM'S UTOPIA NOT FOUND; 18 RETURN Led by Captain Manuel F. Canea, who commanded the Liberia, Chief Sam's ship which carried 112 misguided Negroes from the United States to Africa, a party of members of the crew, reached New York City on the steamer Norseman from Liverpool early last week: Chief Sam, whose campaign in this country attracted much attention, was at the head of the party which sailed on the Liberia from Galveston, Texas, in August, 1914. The vessel was seized by the British auxiliary cruiser Victoria at Maio, Canea cruise islands, and a prize crew put ahead. This crew took the crew put ahead. This crew took the crew put ahead. Sierra Leone, Africa. An attempt on part of some of the party to reach Chief Sam's alleged possessions, 74 miles inland, had to be made on foot. When the party reached the place they turned around and walked back. Chief Sam's money gave out and the crew struck for wages. The British government then seized the ship on a wart of chief at Anmabao, where the there is now a Great Britain then tempted to get the crew back to the United States, and the party of eighteen which reached New York last week is the first consignment. They were sent to Hull, transferred then to Liverpool and put aboard the Norseman for New York. At the British consulate the men were paid their wages and started to their various destinations. They are all American citizens, but were under British jurisdiction until reaching their original destinations. In the party were Dr. P. J Dorman, of Mantee, Oka, the former ship's doctor, and Frederick Zahn, of Roxbury, Mass, wireless operator, and the only white man who embarked on the expedition. They reported that Chief Sam, the Moses of the expedition, is sick with beeri-heri in Africa, but will probably recover. NEGRO MERCHANT RUN FROM HOME BY WHITES Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MEMPHIS, TENN., Oct. 12—11, Bell, who conducted the H. Bell Cash Store at Forest City, Ark, dealing in general merchandise, hay, grain and mill feed, is now in this city, at 888 Humphrey street, having been forced by the white people of Forrest Hill to leave that town with only a few hours' notice. Mr. Bell had to employ a lawyer and resort to a suit to defend his rights, and this incurred the emunity of the white people. The constable of the court threatened him that if he won the case they would put him on the county gang anyway, and another white man told him that if he won the case he would be killed. Bell was forced to take his wife and leave Forrest City without being able to wind up any of his business affairs. Bell says that he received no aid from any of the Negroes and makes the charge that a Negro undertaker did everything he could to help the whites. As soon as he straightens up his affairs he declares he will make a special statement for The Ace: AT OHIO UNIVERSITY Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Courtesy of the J. Ferguson the first time in the history of Ohio State University, it is believed, a colored student was elected to a class office last Friday. He is Daniel Ferguson of Columbus, who has won laurels as a half-miler on the university track team. Ferguson had no opposition to his candidacy for orator of the senior class. PRICE FIVE CENTS EXPRESSIONS ON WOMAN'S RIGHTS A Symposium of Opinion on Woman's Suffrage From Many Leaders of Race Men of Various Professions and Vocations are in Favor of Allowing Women the Exercise of the Franchise. In Response to a Question from The Age, as to Their Opinion in Regard, to Woman Suffrage, and How they Were Going to Vote on the Ameadment, Nearly All of Them Declare in Favor of the Movement: Whether or not women are to given the ballot is one of the questions to be voted on at the election to be held Tuesday, November 2. Sentiment in favor of the amendment is being generated to an extent never before approached, if one is to judge from the opinions expressed by leaders of opinion and thought, both colored and white. The statement issued by President Wilson, that as a state issue he was in favor of woman's suffrage and would vote for it in New Jersey on November 2, has had its effect in crystalling sentiment and has strengthened many whose support of the movement was passive rather than active. A representative of THE AGE has interviewed many of the race leaders in New York and Brooklyn, including ministers, lawyers, doctors, business and professional men, asking for an expression of their opinion about woman's suffrage, and whether or not they would vote for the amendment. As will be seen from the opinions which are printed in this article, the majority of the interviewed are in favor of giving woman the franchise. In one case, an opponent of woman's suffrage expressed his idea that if women are admitted to suffrage they will add to the already too large number of freesponsible voters. This gentleman, however, declined to allow his name to be used. He was afraid that publication of his opinion, with his name attached, would react unpleasantly toward him in his professional and Christian relations, An Impartial Selection. In asking for an opinion on the question, THE Age has not attempted to pick out certain men known to be in favor of the amendment, for, so far as is known to THE Age, the men quoted are expressing themselves publicly for the first time. Nor was any bias indicated in the questions asked. They were simply asked to do one thing: "State for publication in THE Age your opinion on woman's suffrage and whether or not you intend voting for the amendment." The opinions given below are in accordance with that request. The Rev, W. H. Brooks, Pastor St. Mark's M. E. Church. Women ought to have the right to vote whether they exercise it or not. I have opposed to the woman's suffrage. I have spoken to the minister on several occasions from my pulpit. the Rev. W. M. Moss, Pastor Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn. Women are citizens because they are part of the political body and ought to have the right to vote. If they are not ready to exercise the vote, development will come in time. Women should not be deprived of their privileges because of such women as Carrie Nation and Mrs. Pankhurst. The use of the vote is educative and in time the women, if not qualified now, would become so. Counselor Wilford H. Smith, New York. I am in favor of allowing women the right to vote and will cast a ballot for the suffrage amendment. Dr. Richard Birnie, Brooklyn. I am going to vote for woman's suffrage. If women want to vote I think they ought to have the right to do so. For women to become actively engaged in politics or present may not be the wisest thing. I am of the opinion that with women voting the quality of the voters will be improved. The degraded and low class woman will hirily bother to vote. The bad men would not vote if they didn't get drinks for so doing. Gounselor E. A. Johnson, Author, New York In reply to your request for my views on women's suffrage, will say I see no reason why an intelligent woman, especially a taxpayer, should not vote if she so desires. I do not believe there will be any notable revolution in morals or politics if woman is allowed to vote, and this opinion is based on the results so far shown in states where women have been enfranchised. The Rov, J. W. Brown, Pantor Mothor, A. M. E. Zion Church The right of suffrage has been called a human right. Women are human beings, and therefore have a right to vote. The applications of the principles of democracy should not be withheld from the history of people who go to believe in immunity, stable or motion. Communities that moved the greatest be- cause of disease were the settlements of peoples and from the beginning of her existence she has performed her duty well and better in each succeeding generation. The family marks the beginning of society, and the home in all ages has been the abode of the family, and that faithful, tireless, and self-sacrificing maker of the home has been woman. She is not only the chief cornerstone of the home, but the capstone of the home. She has at all times been the wise counselor of man, and some who have gone down might have survived if the woman's advice had been followed. Not only has she been a benefactor in the home, but in the church and nation. Many men who have been statesmen and who have served their country well were tutored either by a faithful wife, a loving mother or a devoted sister. She is the world's great almener doing much of the work of the church, in relieving God's poor and the sick, standing by the pastors when the men cannot be found. We find her to-day manifesting leadership on the various directing boards of hospitals, asylums, homes for the aged, etc. She has proven her quality with man, and in some respects his superior, for she possesses a refinement of taste, a delicacy of soul and a keenness of intuition-surpassing that of man. We say that our government is, "Of the people, for the people and by the people." Women are a part of the people and should have a voice in a government of which they form a part. In short, women are tax-payers and law-abiding citizens, and should have a voice and a vote. For, the foregoing reasons, I am in favor of Woman Suffrage. The Rev. Geo. H. Sima, Pastor Union Baptist Church. I am in favor of woman's suffrage and will vote for the amendment. E. K. Jones, Associate Director National Laigue on Urban Conditions. I do not see how any colored person should require more than a moment's thought to answer favorably on the question of woman suffrage. I am in favor of extending the suffrage to women because I do not believe that any part of world's population or the country's citizens should be denied the right to a voice, a vote in the affairs which affect them. Women are taxed. They own property. They should, therefore, be able to have a voice and a vote in the distribution of these taxes. The Negro, in a State which has attempted to disfranchise the Negro, can own property. This Negro should be able to vote and assist in spending, for the public good, the money which is accumulated by the taxes—a part of which he pays. If my mother was given the responsibility of rearing me and shedding her helpful influence in my life, and my wife has the same opportunity and responsibilities with my own children, they certainly have enough intelligence to use good judgment and should be given the privilege of voting in matters which affect the welfare of their children. The Rev. J. N. Bridgeman, Pastor Newman Memorial M. E. Church, Brooklyn. I am in favor of woman's suffrage for the following reasons: 1. Women have to share equal responsibilities with men. 2. Women property owners are taxed without a voice in the appointment of tax assessors, nor have they a chance to say how much they may be assessed. 3. Women are compelled to obey the law, although they have no voice in the making of it, or even in saying who shall make it. 4. Women plays the most prominent part in training the male and female citizens who compose the government and nation. George H. Harris, Undertaker, Brooklyn. I haven't given woman's suffrage any serious consideration. But I think women had better remain in the home and look after its welfare. James L. Jamison, Jr., Secretary Y. M. C. A. In response to your request for my views on suffrage for women, I am pleased to submit the following: Woman-suffrage? Yes, by all means. Only by an evidence of fair play on our part, by a bestowal of her well deserved rights, and by an unrestricted participation of qualified women and qualified men voters in the work of civic and racial betterment can we hope for a complete, decided and lasting improvement in conditions now existing. John H. Dickerson, Brooklyn. I am opposed to woman's suffrage. It would only lead to debauchery of women by conscienceless men. While it might, under certain conditions, be unobjectionable as a local consideration, it is entirely unfeasible as a national proposition. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, Pastor Abyssinian Baptist Church. I am not only in favor of giving the ballot to women in New York State, but in the United States as well. Women eat, wear clothes, rent houses, purchase property and therefore pay taxes the same as men. To force any class of citizens to pay taxes without representation is a scandalous subversion of the principles of American government, a principle for which Crispus Attucks and thousands of others willingly gave their lives. The appearance of the American woman at the ballot box will insure a purer political atmosphere. Good women elevate, the moral tone of every thing they are associated with, and I am glad to say that the overwhelming majority are good. The greatest curse to American womanhood is the legalized saloon. Give women a chance to vote and John Barleycorn, with his attendant miseries and degradations, will be put out of business in five years. For the life of me I do not see how any colored man can consistently oppose suffrage for women. Such a position on the part of the Negro strengthens the efforts of the South to relegate the ace to political slavery. The Rev. R. M. Bolden, Pastor First Emmanuel Church. You ask me what is my personal position on the woman's suffrage question. My answer is as follows: I stand unquivocally for the franchise being forewash, hold down, hold on, hold down under, hold down, hold down, hold down in the front of the house, in the in rear of the house, in the life. Whatever he, our own, fare in life, woman must in a measure, more or less, full or limited, rise, fall, enjoy or suffer our lots, fortune, success or failure. Life in its relation to the social compact is a thing that both man and woman must equally, jointly, as co-partners, bear a share in and be co-equally responsible. The burden cannot be shifted by either the man or woman from his or her shoulder exclusively to that of the other. Life to these is a social and in every conceivable way, a full co-partnership, and each co-partner should be clothed with equal and identical political powers at least. No women, no progeny of the human race. The crucible of the human race should, as a matter of political and social justice, have equal powers with men in saying as to the character of conditions under which her progeny and his shall be raised, trained and the future conditions under which they are launched, at least, when that progeny meets early manhood and womanhood. The woman must, like men, obey the laws extant and to be legislated. Why should they not, help to make those very laws? The laws which send them to jails, adjust their claims against others, and others' claims against them, affecting the social relations, statue and property rights. Lastly, but not less important, in the language of a friend, "I believe that the hand that rocks the cradle should help to rule the world!" Nail & Parker, Real Estate, New York City, In response to your request for our opinion on the question of Woman's Suffrage, we have this to say: We believe that the right of suffrage should be granted to women for many reasons. First. This country went to war with Great Britain many years ago on account of taxation without representation. To-day we have hundreds of women owning property that is taxed, and at the same time they have no voice in making the laws that govern taxation. Second. There is an army of women who are bread winners in the industrial world, and there is no place where the ballot is more needed than in the industrial community. Third. There are many reforms that will be brought about when women are given the ballot; reforms that men in politics have not yet dreamed of. Fourth. As colored men, this question should be of particular interest to us, as we are in a position to realize the injustice of disfranchisement regarding our brothers in the South. Just as they have been making a fight for their rights all these years, so women have worked zealously. In conclusion, we hope that every colored man will go to the polls on November 2, and write "Yes" in answer to the question asked regarding suffrage. PROVIDENCE PASTORS AND CHURCHES AT ODDS Sarah to Tue New Year Act SPEECH TO THE NEW YORK ACK PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct. 13. —It is thought that differences between the pastors and congregations may cause two of the Baptist churches in this city to ask for the resignations of their pastors. The two referred to are the Congdon Street Baptist Church, the Rev. S. W. Smith, pastor; and the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Rev. J. H. Willey, pastor. There does not appear to be any moral culpability involved, but it is alleged that the ministers referred to have outgrown their usefulness in this particular field. It is charged against them that they endorsed the vicious Dixon photo play, when it was shown in this city, that they allow politics to interfere with their pastoral duties, and that new religious life is needed in the churches if the Baptists are to counteract retrograding influences which seem to have secured a foothold. It is alleged that collections have considerably decreased and that this indicates a movement on, part of affected members to starve the ministers out if they will not resign. At a recent meeting, of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Smith and Mr. Wiley, with John C. Minkins, former editor of the Examiner, were expelled from membership in that body because of their alleged endorsement of "The Birth of a Nation." HINTON AGAIN GETS PLACE ON COMMITTEE Special 10 Tue. New Years Act. SPEAK TO THE WOODEN ENGLYCOO. N. J., Oct. 13—In the contest for county committeeman from the first district, fourth ward, between Claas. B. Hinton and J. C. Campbell, both colored men, who received 57 votes each in the primary, the Bergen County Republican Committee at Hackensack decided in favor of Hinton. The accession, during the past three years, of colored voters, has given the Republican party in this district a majority over the Democrats, and last year Mr. Hinton was elected county committeeman in the primary, his opponent being a white republican. MEMPHIS, TENN., Oct. 12—When Mrs. Mahalee Gibbs, died here on October 8, she passed away the oldest woman of the Negro, race in the United States.

Remember Kink-n-o-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that it is promised to do, and should send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-n-o-more, enough to straighten from due to two beads of hair.

Besides bruises, his eye # BUSINESS LEAGUE # BUYER'S NEWS PRESS In its Business League, Task No. 4, the National Negro Business League sends out an open letter to the Negro merchant in, which the allegation is set forth that while the editors of the Negro newspapers are unselfishly boosting the cause of the Negro merchant by urging the race to patronize race businesses, the merchants as a group are not giving the advertising support to race papers which they should. The letter is as follows: We are the Negro newspapers from week to week, the feel that as a class the Negro editors are just about as unselfish as any set of people in the country. They are, in fact the ultra-exponent of unselfish- ness. No less than a dozen of these papers take their thirn each week and speak totally to the race, urging them to make sure they are in business. That appears to be one topic on which all of the publishers agree and in agitating for more business, customers patronage or Negro business. That prompted by no loftier motive than their pride of race and their absorbing desire, for the race's uplimb, into the business and industry. For this they are to be commended and should be encouraged. Lack of Appreciation By continually urging the 'race to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Nego rog merchants to the Nego rog merchants as a group giving back to the Nego papers in return and what are they doing to co-operate with all of the Nego rog merchants that quite a few individual merchants give their printing; of stationery to colored, printers and not a few inserts of materials; of new Nego papers which many annoyed with 'traded out,' but there is entire absence of group appreciation on the part of Nego merchants for the great work done for them by the Nego editors. Here are some questions which surges themselves as we read the Negro business man, pulling for the Negro business man: Why do the colored merchants not speak up for themselves? Why do they continue to let the Negro newspapers pay their advertising bills? Why are they content with the business which "drifts in"? How can they combine and go after the race's business in a big way? The business is certainly there for the tasks. The race is spending now only about a fourth of this is going to colored merchants; the race is spending $50,000,000 a year for shoes and only about one eighth of this is going to Negro dealers. There is but one way to get this business and that is to go, after it in a definite and determine way. The burden of educating and cultivating this trade rests with the business men themselves and should not be left to the colored papers. They are our young folks educated and in protecting our rights. Merchants Should Realize Situation. To accomplish something that would really justify the effort, the merchants must of course realize the situation as well as the situation in the plan which will accomplish the desired results. First, have a common understanding on the question of service. White merchants are their chief competitors and no step towards securing out studying the methods of competitors out in order to meet them with methods, equally as effective. Service has been one of the important contributing factors to success of white business enterprises; service is fifty percent of any selling. This appears to be the era of "getting together." Every magazine and daily paper tells of some class of men who have made their problems and prudently—to get more business. If the 25,000 cologed retail merchants would each contribute $5 a year to a General Extension and their problems, they would be invested in $125,000 a year which could be invested in 'educating and cultivating Negro trade and in making Negro business places more attractive. This should be appropriated about as follows: 1. A strong national campaign of education and advertising through Negro business ventures of patronizing Negro business enterprises. 2. A set of competent men to plan and execute this national advertising campaign. 3. A few trained men to travel and organize local advertising campaigns, decorate show windows, arrange at home and in the office wise co-onsite with the national campaign by arousing local interest in patronizing Negro business enterprises. With such a big movement the co-onsite campaign is the active support of the Negro newspapers and 'the National Negro Business League through its six hundred local leagues and these local leagues which to get such a campaign-launched. In communities where local leagues are not already established, any representative citizen may address a letter to Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the Negro League Legacy Institute, Alabama, and he will gladly forward complete, information regarding the plans for organizing them. NEW JERSEY PYTHIANS ATLANTIC CITY, N.

The issue ofrownesscontaining the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Oklahoma and Maryland "grandfather" laws, was handed by me to Mr. Kawakawa. I was very much interested in the article, and the stand taken by your paper. Similar conditions exist in British Columbia in regards to the Japanese and right of tranship. Inclosed find the information on the Tranship to the Vancouver Sun. He asked me to say you to allow your paper to make a copy. Please note that he states that he wrote the word Negro with a dagger but the Sun printed it in small letters. Editor of The Sun: Sir—A provincial election which was to be held in British Columbia in March last has been postponed indisputably, coming fall. There are several vital questions of the day to be discussed by the political parties of British Columbia. There is a serious attention by the leaders of the political parties, and the electors of British Columbia—that is an extension of the province who possess naturalization papers'. Is it not high time for the political leaders to take up this question, that my people in British Columbia can be freely naturalized but have no voice in politics. A citizen without a ranch or farm is not likely to end all comment.—Taxation without representation is anything but fair and often was a cause of agitation, resentment, armor in the early history of British. I would like to discuss in your valued paper this most important and high privilege that a citizen of the country can enjoy and for which I am proud. Great Britain for this reason has always been regarded by the nations of the world as mother of the modern constitutional form of government. But strange to me, the British government has a portion of Britain's oversaw dominions, has been denying right along, wrongly and unjustly, this precious right to the Japanese who were formerly the lord of the islands, now the citizens of this country. It is needless to mention that at the beginning of the present European war the Japanese warships came hurriedly to the shores of British Columbia from a possible German raid. If there was ever a time in the history of British Columbia when she should extend the autonomy in recognition of Japan's great assistance in the present titanic war, that time is now. The sons of Nippon would ever appreciate with unbounded civility the citizens of the province voluntarily extending to them manhood suffrage. It is a universal movement, indeed, to extend the franchise and pryllege to all classes and races. In that state, the public are enjoying political rights. It will not be long before the Poles will have a government of their own—a dream and fervor that has been almost half a century-past the colored people in various Southern States of the Republic have been disqualified under "so-called" and "grandfather" clauses, and have been denied the United States Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision, declaring the Oklahoma and Maryland "grandfather" clauses unconstitutional, which has called forth strong expressions of approval from the leading newspapers of the country. Why then should such a British movement of the twentieth century In Yukon territory the franchise was first granted to the Japanese in Similian Ross ran-for the honor of being the first member from the Yukon for Japan, and the first member from Japan, have sworn allegiance to Canada and are freely exercising the franchise just as though they were natives. In the Yukon are well contented. Both the government and the people of British Columbia seem to be afraid of the Japanese on account of the accountability they would overrun the country and dominate the political situation. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Japanese people are not a national number in comparison with that of the white population. Sooner or later British Columbia will have to solve the Japanese question. British Columbia will have in its own territory hundreds of full-fledged Japanese who were born and reared in Canada and they will be allowed to call for full sovereignty on God's green earth can disqualify them. If the Japanese were denied on the ground of illiteracy then why should not the same principle be applied to full sovereignty on God's green earth? There should be no color line drawn between them. It is not a wide policy for any national or provincial people within its borders. If the Japanese is too loyal to his native country to be allowed to cast his ballot then look at the other nationalities. His is not a nationality to his country or a German to his fatherland. While the American and German are enjoying political freedom they the Japanese is being kept out. There is positively no substantial reason to reject the Japanese alone. Nothing but racial prejudice and discrimination would overrun the Japanese from voting heretofore. Therefore, no course should be taken in the least reflective upon the dignity of the nation or people of Canada and the industrial point of view Canada's future largely depends upon her Oriental commerce and that is another reason why the interests of Canada and especially those of British Columbia will be conserved by being in harmony with the Asian people and its co-operation with them in exploiting western trade. I do not believe for a moment, however. Canada should admit any and all immigrants from Japan. For instance, if a man overmanned it would be quite reasonable and proper for the Dominion Government to say that we do not desire Japanese or any other people who purport to be immigrants to our community, with the danger of bringing want and necessity to those of similar employment. Such a ground would not be deemed as in the slightest degree to be harmful. But I have in my mind a strong conviction that if my people are ever permitted to land, in Canada they must be granted an the privileges according to those interests interested in the welfare of mankind to see as far as in their power lies that nothing unfair, nothing unjust, nothing moan or base orders into the life of a man. It is concluded upon such terms that. Mercy and truth are and liked each other." There is no doubt that this appeal will be taken up and supported by sir Ralph Crompton, the former president and party, as well as by those men in opposition and also by all liberal and fair-minded people of the provinces who have supported the political affiliations. That every man stands equal before the law, irrespective of race or color is a fundamental principle of the British constitution. I make the foregoing plea to the people of British Columbia. in the name of justice and fair play. and equalization of mankind. J. Hookley Smiley of Chicago Defender Dead. Chicago, Ill.-J.

SISSIERETTA JONES (Black Patti) has been engaged by the Lafayette Theatre management to head the monster vaudeville bill to be presented at Harlem's most popular playhouse commencing Monday, October 18. The sum to be paid the most famous MME. SISSIERETTA J singer of the race will be $500 for the week, which amount marks a new era for salaries in colored theatrical circles. Never before has this much money been given as performer to appear in what is generally termed a "colored theatre." The engagement of Black Patti at the Lafayette Theatre at a salary of $500 for the week tends to confirm the announcement of the management that every effort will be made to give the many patrons of the Lafayette the best entertainment possible, and that no expense will be spared to secure the cleanest and best colored acts obtainable. Black Patti has not been seen in Harlem since her last appearance as star of the Black Patti Company, which organization played to standing room throughout the engagement. It will be the celebrated singer's initial box as a vaudevillian, although numerous efforts have been made by colored and white managers to induce her to enter the vaudeville field. About a week ago Black Patti returned to her home in Providence from Chicago, where she sang before large audiences and the reports from the Windy City are that her voice is in better condition than it has been for years. While at the Lafayette Theatre Black Patti will render some-of the selections that made her famous, and her engagement next week is being eagerly awaited by lovers of music and those who like refined entertainment. There will be no THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE EAST GERTRUDE TOWNSEND Member of the Miller & Lyles Co. change in prices at the Lafayette owing to the engagement extraordinary of Black Patti. Big Show in Washington Next. Week. All Washington is agog over over the announcement made this week by Manager Andrew Thomas that the latest and biggest of all colored shows "Darkydom" headed by Miller & Lyles would at the Howard Theatre Monday October 18, for one week only. Washingtonians are greatly interested in good colored attractions, and in this instance the concern shown in the engagement of the Miller & Lyles Co. is increased owing to the prominence enjoyed by many connected with the show. Two native Washingtonians, Will Maron Cook and James Reese Europe, are responsible for most of the music, and their many friends at home have been curious for weeks to ascertain just what these two well-known melody-makers have written. Messrs. Cook and Europe express the belief that they have composed some of the best numbers of their respective careers, which will, if anything, enhance their reputations as musicians with the home-folks. With Miller & Lyles will be seen Henry Troy, Allie Gilliam and Will A' Cook, Fannie Wise, Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, Ida Forsyne and the greatest singing chorus since the days of Williams & Walker. P. S.—The Company can also boast of having a beauty chorus. THE SMART SET COMPANY ESTABLISHES NEW ATTENDANCE RECORDS AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Since Messrs. Morganstern & Walton have been lessees of the Lafayette Theatre many records for large attendance have been broken, but the managers of the Smart Set can share in the distinction of materially assisting in establishing a new record which may be equalled but is not likely to be broken for some ONES (BLACK PATTI) MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT NOTES. The annual fall opening on Thursday night, October 7, was attended by a large and appreciative audience. The program opened with Mr. Johnson singing "Walk Together, Children" (Negro spiritual) and "How to Love Yourself" (a final transcription of "Walk Together," which he composed especially for the pageant now being produced in Washington, under the direction of Dr. W. E. DuBois. Miss Ethel Richardson played the flat ballade Chopin, and the colorful Colori Taylor; Mr. Bolden sang Arditsi "Let Me Love Thee." Mr. Johnson rendered "The Grenaldiers" by Schumann and "Who Is Sylvia?" by Schubert. Mrs. Emma Leonard sang "The Awakening" and "You's Sweet to Do" to dample his singing "The Little Grey Home in the West," "Rose in the Bud" and Mr. Johnson's "Since You went Away." David Mannes who has volunteered to teach a class at the school in artistic education has written words of sincere interest. Elbridge L. Adams introduced the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, whose remarks were befitting. Mr. Johnson closed the program with two of his latest compositions "Told to the Roses" and his arrangement of "Nobody Knows the Trouble Love Seen." Mr. Johnson announced regrets from Harry T. Burleigh who was unable to attend, but gave expression of his willingness to give his services at some other time. Mr. Peterson of the Juvenile Police Department, will address the Neighborhood Club on Friday evening October 15. Dancing class begins on Tuesday night, November 2. Halloween night, under direction of Mrs. R. Reed. Reed is a child's teacher. Dances under direction of Miss Amanda Kemp begins on Friday afternoon, October 15, from 4 to 6.

A. team represent what promises to be a very good aggregation. An earnest invitation is given to the players, who would like to play football and join the Y. M. C. A. squad, to report to Mr. Jamison, the secretary, at the Y. M. C. A., 252 West 53rd street. Excellent coaching is assured and the players are showered and training room of the Y. M. C. A. is offered to all the players. Candidates for the basketball team will also report to Mr. Jamison, as it represents the team. Teams representing the association. The best football field in New York has been secured, a good schedule has been arranged with nearby teams, and practice will begin soon. The Y. M. C. A. is desirable, though not necessary, to begin work with the teams. Civic League Games The athletic carnival and dance of the United Civic League will be under the auspices of the Salem Crescent A. Hall for the day October 29. It will be not for the benefit of any one person or party, but the revenue derived from this evening of amusement will be used for the purpose of financing the civic work which is much needed in the City of New York. It is hoped that all civic organizations will have representation at this affair. Reserved seat tickets are on sale at the Alpha Cigar Store, 141 W. 135th street, phone Morningside 3524, and 717-744-7111. James Reese Europe is chairman of the entertainment committee. The trophies to be contested for are worthy of the occasion, the point trophy be donated by the Board of Governors of Johnson and all fast sprinters will accept this opportunity of lowering the championship colors of Roy Morse, the American 220-yard and the 100-100 champion of Canada. This will be his home appearance in his home town since winning the honors at the Panama Exposition. Morris Second in Four-Mile In the weekly road run of the Pennant A. C., over its four-mile course in The Bronx thirty-four runners started away at the crack of the pistol. In the fight to the finish line A. Morris, of the St. Christopher's, was four seconds behind the first man winning second place by one minute and ten seconds. time. The new record was made Tuesday—Columbus Day—when hundreds imbued with the holiday spirit, made the Lafayette Theatre their objective point to see the Smart Set in the new and successful piece “George Washington Bullion.” Both matinee and evening the house played to standing room, and many were turned away, being unable to even secure a point of vantage when standing. Theatre-goers this week are making it known that they did not get enough of “George Washington Bullion” during the Smart Set engagement, at the Lafayette Theatre, every indication that the show will play to crowded houses throughout the week. “George Washington Bullion” is even a better production than when last seen in Harlem, as many of the rough edges, always in evidence in a brand new show, have been taken off and the members of the company, from Salem Tutt Whitney to the members of the chorus, are working as if the show had been out several months. BASEBALL RESULTS. Lincoln Giants Lose on Errors A crowd much larger than that which saw the Giants play in the last week of their home stand at the Polo Grounds jammed its way into the stands and into every inch of available standing room at Olympic Field last Sunday to watch the National League's cellar champs in action against the Lincoln Giants. The McGrawites, helped considerably by several costly errors, due to stage fright apparently, beat the Harlem semi-pros, 4 to 2. Wiley's poor throw to fast in the opening inning of Eddie Grant's third strike, which the Lincoln Giants' catcher dropped, let in one Giant run, and in the fifth session two more blunders by the semi-pros helped the Giants to a second run. But for these misplays the contest would - in all probability have gone into extra innings. Tesreau had a world of speed. Although eight hits were made off the Bear Hunter, Jeff whiffed seventeen of the Lincoln Giants, a new record for the season at Olympic Field. The Giants touched up Cyclone Joe Williams for eleven bingles, three of which were for Robertson and Chief Meyers each got a double. Wiley and L. Grant hit Tesreau for doubles. Of the Giants' eleven hits Larry Doyle, Fletcher, Meyers and Tesreau garnered two apiece. The score: LINCOLN GIANTS NEW YORK (N. L.) r. h.o. a.e. r. h.o. a.e.

Bolin won the 50-yard and 75-yard dashes, and was captain of the winning relay team. He won three silver cups, Whittaker winning a cup, also. The meet was participated in by grammar schools in Dutchess County, and boat races in Minebeck Hyle Park. Red Hook, Poughkeepsie Bemin, Tappinger's Falls, Millbrook Pine Plains, and other points, were entered, Governor Whitman was present. At the athletic meet of all the Poughkeepsie schools last spring, young Bolin won the 50-yard dash, getting a gold medal, and ran second in the 50-yard dash two years ago. COLORED GOLF PLAYERS. CHICAGO, Ill.—The first golf tournament ever pulled off in America by expert colored golfers was played at Marquette Links, Thursday, October 7, by the Alpha Golf Club, to decide the championship among the colored players, was won by Walter Speedy of Louisiana. Winter weather failed to daunt enthusiasm displayed between players and followers of the drivers of the little white ball. There were more than seventy-five onlookers to brace the cold winds and threatening snow. White and colored showed appreciation, applauding each player. The contest was for thirty-six hoses. The four lowest scores for the first nine holes were to qualify for championship honors. The last four were to play for city honors. Bert Burton of Marion, Ind., turned in the lowest score for thirty-five holes and was closely trailed by Speedy and Wright. The wind took Burton's ball at the thirty-sixth hole, causing him to lose three strokes. The massive strength of Speedy and Wright pulled in a 6 bogey at the 36th hole, white Burton took 8, causing him to fall, 2 down. The 18 holes cover 6,209 yards. Scores: Speedy, 92; Wright, 92; Burton, 93, for championship honors. Pankey, 96; Duncan, 97; Perry, 99; for city honors. Speedy and Wright played off the tie, Speedy winning by one hole, these two drivers fought 18 hole battling for 3½ hours. Theo, Pankey did not strike his stride until he played the 20th hole. Burton made the longest drives and the lowest one hole score of the day. The cold weather prevented Carter of New York playing further than the 25th hole. Bottoms dropped out at the 29th hole from chill, after playing a winnerful game. Perry broke his driver, which retarded his game. Duncan finished strong with the best mashie shots of the day. After the game a swell dinner was given to the players by Bottoms of the De Lux. Different dishes served, were moulded in golf style. A few of the skilled golfers, Speedy, Wright, Bottoms and Burton, will play the white champions of Jackson Park Club, Monday, October 18, at the Jackson Park Links.

No. 4 the National Negro Business League sends out an open letter to the Negro merchant in which the allegation is set forth that while the editors of the Negro newspapers are unselfishly boosting the cause of the Negro merchant by urging the race to patronize race businesses, the merchants as a group are not giving the advertising support to race papers which they should. The letter follows. As one reads the Negro newspapers from week to week, they cannot feel that as a class the Negro editors are just about as unselfish as any set people in the country. They are, in fact the ultra-exponents of unselfishness. No less than a dozen of these papers take their thrin each week and speak elegantly to the race, urging them to be more involved who are in business. That appears to be one topic on which all of the publishers agree and in agitating for more and sustained patronage for Negro business. The prompted by no lootter motive than their pride of race and their absorbing desire for the race's upbloom into the business and industry. For this they are to be commended and should be encouraged. Lack of Appreciation. By continually urging the race to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Negro gro mer merchants as a group giving back to the Negro papers in return and what are they doing to co-operate with all of the other institutions that quite a few individual merchants give, their printing* or stationery to colored printers and not a few inserts and displacement newspapers which many instances "traded out," but there is entire absence of group appreciation on the part of Negro merchants for the great work done for them by the Negro editors. Here are some questions which suggest themselves as we read the Negro papers and see how earnest they are pulling for the Negro business men: Why do the colored merchants not sell to themselves? Why do the commune to let the Negro newspapers pay their advertising bills? Why are they content with the business which "drifts in"? Why do they not combine and go ahead with it? The business is certainly there for the asking. The race is spending now about $600,000,000, a year for food and only about a fourth of this is going to colored merchants; the race is spending only about one-twentieth, of this is going to Negro dealers. There is but one way to get this business and that is to go after fit in a definite and determined burden of educating and cultivating this trade rests with the business men themselves and should not be left to the colored papers. They must be educated with it in protecting our young folks educated and in protecting our rights. Merchants Should Realize Situation. To accomplish something that would really justify the effort, the merchants it is and then determine to work out a plan which will accomplish the desired results. First, have a common understaffing plan that the vendors, white merchants are their chief competitors and no step towards securing bigger Negro trade can be made without the help of the vendors in order to meet with methods equally as effective. Service has been one of the important contributing factors to the success of white business in order to ensure service is fifty percent of any selling. This appears to be the era of 'getting together' the business and making women getting together to solve their problems and primarity' to get more business. The $25,000 and women getting together to contribute $5 a year to a General Extension and Publicity Fund, there would be a fund of $25,000 a year which could be used for Negro trade and cultivating Negro business places more attractive. This fund could be appropriated as follows: I. A strong national campaign of education and advertising through Negro newspapers to show the many ad agencies patronizing Negro business enterprises. 2. A set of competent men to plan and carry out this national advertisement. 3. A few trained men to travel and organize local advertising campaigns, decompose show windows, arrange entrance doors and good wood floors, and co-operate with the national campaign by arousing local interest in partnerships. With such a big movement, the colored business men would have the active support of the Negro newspapers League through its six hundred local leagues and these local leagues would furnish a working nucleus with which to form a strong community. In communities where local leagues are not already established, any representative citizen may be appointed as the Secretary of the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and he will gladly forward complete information to the plans for organizing them.

Editor of The Sun: Sir-A provincial election which was to be held in Dawson, Yukon, Canada, has been postponed indefinitely. It will likely take place in the coming fall. There are several vital questions of the political parties and the electors of the parties of British Columbia. There is at least one great problem which needs serious attention by the leaders of the political parties and the electors of the parties of British Columbia that the franchise to the Japanese in this province may possess naturalization papers. Is it not high time for the franchise to be made public? I was informed some years ago that my people in British Columbia can be freely naturalized but have no voice in the franchise. Is it too silly and ridiculous and beyond all comment. Taxation without representation is anything but fair and often was a cause of agitation, resentment and turmoil in the early history of British. I would like to discuss in your valued paper this most important and high priority issue for the Anglo-Saxons fought and bled. Great Britain for this reason -has always been re-engaged with the mother of the more constitutional form of government. But strange to say, British Columbia, an important province, has been denying right along, wrongly and unjustly, this precious right to the Japanese who were formerly the loyal ally of the British Empire, now the citizens of this country. It is needless to mention that at the beginning of the present European war, the Japanese had to cross the Pacific and protected the shores of British Columbia from a possible German raid. If there was ever a time when she should extend the suffrage right to the Japanese in the province in recognition of Japan's great victory, then time is now. The sons of Nippon would ever appreciate with unbounded gratitude and always remain useful to the people, including to them manhood's suffrage. It is a universal movement, indeed to extend the franchise and privileges states of the Union women are enjoying political rights. It will not be long before the Poles will have a government of women with the last 250 years. For almost half a century past the colored people in various Southern States of the Republic have been disqualified unlawfully on Monday, June 21 last, however, the United States Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision, declaring that Poles are not father laws or disfranchising Negro voters, unconstitutional, which has called forth strong expressions of approval of the country. Why then should not British Columbia join this world-wide movement of the twentieth century? In Yukon territory, the Japanese was the first member of the Japanese in the year 1802 when the Hon. James Hamilton Ross ran for the of being the first member from the Yukon for Japanese have sworn allegiance to Canada and are freely exercising the franchise just as though they were native to Japan in the Yukon are well contented. Both the government and the people of British Columbia seem to be afraid the Japanese on account of their stature should not be qualified they would overrun the country and dominate the political situation. Nothing could be farther from the truth, and it is evident that the British Columbia is illiquid in number in comparison with that of the white population. Sooner or later British Columbia will have to solve the Japanese question. But the British Columbia will have in its own territory hundreds of full-fledged Japanese who were born and reared in Canada and they will be able to all but control British Columbia on God's green earth can disqualify them. If the Japanese were denied on the ground of illiteracy then why should not the same prejudice be applied to people within its borders. There should be no color line drawn between them. It is not a wise policy for any national or provincial people within its borders. If the Japanese is too loyal to his native country to be allowed to cast his ballot then look at the other nationalities. It is also not a wise policy for American to his country or a German to his fatherland. While the American and German are enjoying political freedom they are being discriminated against the Japanese is being kept out. There is positively no substantial reason to reject the Japanese alone. Nothing but racial prejudice and discrimination should be allowed against the Japanese from voting heretofore. Therefore, no course should be taken in the least reflecting upon the dignity of the people by. From a commercial and industrial point of view Canada's future largely depends upon her Oriental commerce, and that is another reason why, in the case of the British Columbia and especially those of British Columbia will be conserved by being in harmony with the Asian people and by co-operating with them in exploiting the trade. I do not believe for a moment, however, Canada should admit any and all immigrants from Japan. For instance, if a man from Japan or a man overmanned it would be quite reasonable and proper for the Dominion Government to say that we do not desire Japanese or any other people who purport to be immigrants to our community, with the danger of bringing want and necessity to those of similar employment. Such a ground would be more effective in affecting the diversity of Japanese. But I have in my mind a strong conviction that: if my people are ever permitted to land, in Canada they must be treated with respect to other citizens. It behooves all persons interested in the welfare of mankind to see as far as in their power lies that, nothing unfair, nothing unjust, nothing wrong, nothing wrong, nothing consideration of the question, but that it be concluded upon such terms of these rights are in accord with the laws and West. That liberty and truth are need together, rights, and peace have there is no doubt that this appeal will be taken up and supported by Sir Browne, and party Browne as by those colonists in opposition and also by all liberal and fair-minded people 'of the provinces respective of their political affiliations.' That every man stands equal before the law, irrespective of race or color the principle of the British constitution.' I make the foregoing plea to the people of British Columbia in the name of the play and equalization of mankind. Thanking you in advance for the publication of this letter. I am, dear sir, yours truly. S. KAWAKAMI Dawson, Y. T. J. Hookley Smiley of Chicago Defender Dead. Chicago, Ill.—J. Hockey Smiley died Sunday morning, October 10, after an illness of three months.

In a city which includes an entire county, or two or more entire counties, the powers and duties of the municipal assembly upon the municipal assembly, common council, board of aldermen or other legislative body of the city. Provided, however, that the legislature, by general law, may appoint a county only wholly included in a city, and each form of government to become effective in any county only when approved by the electors thereof in each manner as the legislature. No local or special law relating to a county of counties except to a county or counties wholly included within a city shall be enacted except when required, by resolution, of the power of the county of counties or counties to be provided by law. ABSTRACT—This amendment permits the legislature, by general laws, to provide that a county, outside of New York city, county government; such county government; such choice to be made by the direct vote of the electors of the county. Under this, the governing supervisors, if the legislature and county electors provide for a different form of government. The amendment also prevents the enactment of special or local laws, or other measures of such city except upon request of the governing body of each county affected section 171M. The legislature shall, by the enactment of such laws, supervise, or other supervise bodies, of the several counties of the state such further powers of local legislation and administration as the legislature may from counties which now have, or may thereafter have county auditors or other fiscal officers, authorized to audit bills, accounts, or counties. The legislature may confer such powers to local audit auditors, or local finance officials. The legislature may from time to time amend or alter any elecrites or appointees to any officer or officer of the powers and duties now reserved by the towns of any county or the officer or officer thereof, real estate, public safety and the care of the poor. 12.4-2.4. The amendment allows the statute in the interest of efficiency to influence the transfer to county offices, functions with respect to highways, public safety and the care of the poor, now held to be within the province of town authorities. Section (28.12.7). [The legislature shall not nor shall the common council of any city nor board of supervisors grant any extra benefit or contractor.] No extra compensation shall be provided or allowed to any public officer, agent, grant or contractor, by the board, officer or other agency of any board, officer or other agency of any such local institution. Aesthetic.-Extra compensation is compensation in addition to that provided by the board, officer or other agency of any such local institution to gratuity. This section prohibits the giving away of public funds without legal consideration to parties having official or contractual rights of the city civil division. The necessity for this amendment arises from the changes made in the appropriating and auditing authorities of cities and the cities not covered by the present section. Section 22.11. The legislature shall, by law, provide for the occupation and employment of prisoners sentenced to the state and internabations in the state; and on and after the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, no person in any such prison, penalty, jail or interrogation, shall under such sentence thereof, at any trade, industry or occupation, wherein of whereby his work, or the product or profit of his work, shall be earned out, contracted or appropriated by any person, the legislature shall not be construed to prevent the legislature from providing that convicts may work for, and that the products of their may be disposed of to, the state, of the for or to any public institution one of managed and controlled by the state of any (political) civil division thereof. ABSTRACT—The expression "political division" is changed to "divil division" to other similar references in this constitution. SECTION II. The legislature shall have the power to regulate or prohibit manufacturing. ABSTRACT—The power given to the legislature by this section is self-sapiens. Without such provision, the legislature would probably not have the power to prohibit manufacturing in modern homes. ANTICL IV. Section 1 The executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall hold his office for two years. A lieutenant-governer and for the same term. [The governor and lieutenant-governer elected next preceding the time when this section shall be vacated, the governor elected year] year and for the thirty-first day of December one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six, and their successors shall be chosen in the general election, year] year.

Section 2 The governor shall be eligible to vote for a governor or lieutenant-governer, except a citizen of the United States of the age of not less than thirty years, and who shall have been five years old, and who shall have his election a residue of ninety. Section 2. The governor and lieutenant-governor shall be elected at the times and places of choosing members of the Akron-Columbus board of trustees, and the highest number of votes for governor and lieutenant-governor shall be elected; but in the case of the governor shall have two such electors and lieutenant-governor shall have one such elector. of the legislature at its next annual session shall forwish, by joint ballot, choose one of the said) such persons so having for governor or lieutenant-governor. Section 4. The governor shall be commander-in-chief of the military and naval forces, except such person so having for governor or lieutenant-governor. At extraordinary sessions no subject shall be acted upon, except such person so having for governor or lieutenant-governor. He shall communicate by message to the legislature at every session the condition of the state, and recommend such matters to the governor. He shall transact all necessary business with the officers of government, civil and military. He shall expeditie all such measures, dollars, and bills, the legislature, and shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed. (He shall receive for his services an annual salary of ten thousand dollars, and a suitable and furnished executive residence.) **ABSTRACT.** The matter here explained is transferred to section one of this article, and amended as stated in the statute to such extent. Section 8. The governor shall have the power to grant replevies, commutations and pardons after conviction, for all crimes committed in the possession, upon such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations, as he may think proper, subject to such regulations as may be imposed to the manner of applying for pardons. Upon conviction for treason, he shall have power to suspend the execution of the sentence, until the case shall be repaired. Upon conviction for treason, he shall when the legislature shall either pardon or commute the sentence, direct the execution of the sentence, or grant a further pardon, until the sentence shall be repaired to the legislature each case of reprieve, commutation or pardon granted, stating the name of the convict, the crime of which he was convicted, the sentence and the state of the commutation pardon or reprieve. Section & [In case of the impeachment of the governor or his removal from office, death, inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the governor and duties of the office shall devolve upon the lieutenant-governor for the residue of the term or until the disability shall cease If the office of governor be surrendered litterate and duties of the office shall be removed under the term. If the governor be under impeachment or be unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office or be absent from the state the lieutenant-governor shall be impeached and duties of the office or the pendency of such impeachment. But when the governor shall, with the consent of the legislature, be out of the state, in time of war at the head of a military in-chief of all the military forces of the state. ABSTRACT — This amendment clarifies this section and provides beyond dispute that the pendency of impachment proceedings against the defendant is the sole criterion for enforcement. Abstract.—This amendment defines in detail the succession to the office of governor, the present constitution, relative to such succession, but is intended to free it from possible doubt and ambiguity, such as arose in the year 1981. The amendment requires the governor to be a member of the lieutenant-governor, occurring three months or more before a general election, shall be filled at that election. The amendment shall receive for his services an annual salary of five thousand dollars, and shall not receive or be entitled to any other compensation, fee or perquisite, for any duty or service to perform by the constitution or by law.

Provision is made also by this amendment for converting the next constitutional convention on the first Tuesday issuing after the completion of the various of the last cast of delegates-at-earth, the first Tuesday issuing after the completion of the latter part of the delegates' last cast on the first Tuesday in April following the last cast as present.

Already in the first meeting of the new session, the new set of articles was approved by the amendments or proposals considered by any other member of the committee, and the other articles were under the results of the committee's vote. The committee also submitted the results of the committee's vote to the committee. The first meeting of the new session was approved under the existing solution and the omission of a provision has been deemed appropriate by the contention. The amendment proposed to the same subject by the legislature can only be submitted to the governor for approval [at the general election for the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty] and four at any other general election shall be amended to be approved by the general election for the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty. [The provisions here stated that at the general election held in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty the amendment to section one of the constitution shall in force therefore proposed by the legislature section one of article two of this constitution shall be deemed thereby amended so as to embody the new matter contained in such proportion to the constitution.

There shall be issued, in the manner and at the times hereafter recited, bonds of the state in amount not exceeding twenty-seven million dollars in addition to the bonds herefore authorized by the provisions of chapter one hundred and forty-seven of the laws of nineteen hundred and three, which bonds shall be sold by the state and the proceeds thereof paid into the state treasury, and, except as heresinatter provided, so much thereof as shall be necessary shall be expended for the purpose of improving the Erie canal, the Oswego canal, and the Champlain canal, and for the procurement of the lands required in connection therewith, and for the payment of the improvement under such act. The said bonds when issued shall be exempt from taxation. § 2. The compassifier is hereby directed under the supervision of the commissioners of the canal fund to cause to be prepared the bonds of this state, to an amount not to exceed twenty-seven million dollars, the said bonds to bear interest at the rate of not to exceed four and one-half per annum, which interest shall be pays semi-amally in the city of New York. Said bonds shall be issued for a term of not more than fifty years from their respective dates of issue, and shall not be sold for less than par. The compassifier is hereby charged with the duty of selling mid bonds to the highest bidder after advertising for a period of twenty consecutive days, Sundays excepted, in at least two dally newspapers printed in the city of New York and one in the city of Albany. Said advertisements shall contain a provision to the effect that the compassifier in his discretion may reject any or all bids made in pursuance of said advertisements, and in the event of such rejection, the compassifier is authorized to readvertie for bids in the manner above described, as many times as his judgment may be necessary to effect a satisfactory sale. The said bonds shall be sold as the money may be required for the purpose of making partial or final payments on work contracted for in accordance with the provisions of this act and for other payments lawfully to be made under the provisions hereof. There is hereby imposed a direct annual tax to pay and sufficient to pay the interest on each bond issued under this act as it falls due, and to pay, and sufficient to pay and discharge the principal of each of such bonds within fifty years from the date thereof. The rate of such annual tax shall be five one-thousandths of a mill on each dollar of valuation of real and personal property in this state subject to taxation, for each and every one million dollars, or fraction thereof, in per value of said bonds issued under this act, and outstanding or to be outstanding during the fiscal year during which the amount of such tax is computed. The legislature shall each year compute the amount of tax required as above specified and in making such computation shall include, at the rate above mentioned, such bonds as will be required to be issued under this act during the fiscal year for which the amount of such tax is so computed. The tax imposed as herein provided, shall be assessed, levied and collected in the manner prescribed by law, and shall be paid by the several county treasurers into the treasury of the state. The proceeds of such tax shall be invested by the compassifier under the direction of the commissioners of the canal fund and, together with the interest arising therefrom shall constitute a sinking fund which is hereby created. Said fund shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal and interest of bonds issued in accordance with the provisions of this act. Provided, however, that in case the legislature shall set apart in any fiscal year moneys in the state treasury as a sinking fund to pay the interest on the said bonds as it falls due and to pay and discharge the principal thereof, and such moneys shall be sufficient to provide a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise have been raised, as hereinbefore provided, in such fiscal year for such sinking fund, a direct annual tax for such year shall not be imposed and collected as required by the provisions of this act. § 8. The provisions of chapter one hundred and forty-seven of the laws of nineteen hundred and three and of the acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, so far as they relate to the appropriation of lands for canal purposes, to the routes of said canals and the manner and method of doing the work, to the preparation of maps, plans, specifications and estimates, to the payment to contractors upon engineer's estimates, to the form of contract and bonds, to the change of plans for work under contract, to the measurements, inspections and estimates by the state engineer; to the duties and authority of the canal board; to the appraisal of lands taken for canal purposes; to the retention by the state of all waters, surplus or otherwise, created or impounded as a result of canal improvements or constructions, as provided in section sixteen of said act, and all other provisions of said act and of acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto as well as the provisions of chapter one hundred and ninety-five of the laws of nineteen hundred and eight, as amended, relative to the special examiner and appraiser of canal lands, so far as they may be applicable and consistent herein, shall apply to and govern the work authorized by this act. 4. The legislature may appropriate to the cost of said improvement moneys hereafter coming from premiums on the sale of bonds or from the sale of abandoned canal lands, buildings or other property. In case, after the payment of the cost of said improvement, there shall remain any of such moneys unused, the remainder shall be applied to the sinking funds provided for the payment of canal bonds. All moneys realized from premiums on bonds or sale of abandoned land, buildings or other property and all moneys realized from the sale of bonds shall be applied in the first instance to construction of the canal improvement. 5. The legislature is hereby authorized to appropriate from the proceeds of the sale of said bonds such an amount as shall be necessary to reimburse the general fund of the treasury for any moneys advanced and paid out of such fund under appropriation made by the legislature of nineteen hundred and fifteen for the improvement of said canals. § 6.
